Nice. Rick and Morty has mostly been brilliant (a few really really odd), the first episode of Loki got knocked out of the park, and Dr. Strange 2 looks full of promise. Give someone like that autonomy in the Star Wars universe with a movie and see what they can do.

And Waldron has hit the triple/double for nerd dreamers everywhere, lol.

A COOL SPEEDER

Patty Jenkins’ ‘Star Wars: Rogue Squadron’ Taps Matthew Robinson to Write

After fleshing out the world that never lies in “The Invention of Lying” and the monster apocalypse in “Love and Monsters,” Matthew Robinson is penning the script for Patty Jenkins’ “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron,” which is currently scheduled to be released on Dec. 22, 2023.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, the film will loosely be based on the “X-wing” novels that were released by Bantam Spectra and Del Rey between 1996-2012. Jenkins’ film will usher in a new generation of X-wing pilots trying to earn their wings. Disney declined to comment on Robinson’s involvement.

Lucasfilm revealed that “Rogue Squadron” was in development during Disney’s investor day in December 2020. Jenkins, best known for directing “Wonder Woman” and its sequel, posted a video on Twitter where she revealed her fighter pilot father inspired her to join the project. “When he lost his life in service to this country, it ignited a desire in me to turn all of that tragedy and thrill into one day making the greatest fighter pilot movie of all-time,” she said in the video.

Robinson made his screenwriting debut in 2009 with “The Invention of Lying,” which he also co-directed with Ricky Gervais. He went on to write a slew of adventure blockbusters such as 2016’s “Monster Trucks,” 2019’s “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” and 2020’s “Love and Monsters.” He is also penning the screenplay to Doug Liman’s “Edge of Tomorrow” sequel as well as Greg Berlanti’s upcoming adaptation of “Little Shop of Horrors.”

Robinson is repped by ICM Partners and 3 Arts Entertainment.

Well, I'm hoping for the best from this. I read a bunch of the X-Wing books and have fond memories of them.

I don't know how many of you guys are watching Bad Batch but last night's episode finally made the series relevant, which could have a major impact in the post-RotJ Star Wars lore, including the Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian and who knows what else.

It's a bummer that it took nine episodes to make watching it worthwhile, but I guess that's better than Resistance, which was awful from the start, so much so I stopped watching after 4 episodes.

For those of you not watching, I'll put the highlight in a spoiler tag.

This is cool...

I've enjoyed Bad Batch for what it's been to this point - mostly nostalgia. But you're right, that was a big reveal and makes the show relevant going forward with the lore.

It's almost as if Bad Batch is a prequel to The Book of Boba Fett.

What I really appreciate about Bad Batch is how nicely it's wrapping up The Clone Wars and expanding the lore.

They got really creative with it. It's just interesting to watch. I mean, meeting Captain Rex in a Republic cruiser graveyard? WOW.

And the abandoned cloning facility. Man, that could go anywhere. At first I thought it was going to be what eventually becomes Bespin.

Can I watch just this episode without having to suffer through the rest? My son and I bailed after the first two.

I thought that was going to be a precursor to Snoke when I saw it.

And yeah, great touch with Rex. Also, I probably enjoyed the Moochie episode more than I should have, lol.

I just hope they abandon any stupid Snoke ideas.

Probably. There's a little bit of stuff that goes on that leads up to that episode, but you'll catch up quickly.
