New stuff! My manufacturer was having some specials so I put some of your favorite designs on keychains for y'all. Lots of andor and Rebels stuff, along with....connected droid charms! (I've wanted to do these forever!) And I'm having a Spring Break sale this week so everything is 10-20% off! Shop is here.

On the left, Chopper from Rebels in all 3 of his paint jobs. On the right, the 3 droids that helped Ahsoka and Rex escape Mandalore after Order 66: R7-A7, Cheep, and RG-G1.

I've also got these Mon Mothma and Melshi designs! The Mon Mothma keychain says "the death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil" and the Melshi keychain says "people have to know about this."

tap below for more! (lots more!)

Two of your favorite t-shirt designs! The Kalkite keychain on the left says "kalkite · synthetic kalkite · kalkite alternatives · kalkite substitutes," as discussed in Andor (in English). On the right is my Ferrix design that says "Stone and Sky" over the top and "Ferrix · Morlani System" on the bottom.

Also, In Gonk we trust.

Two more Andor designs, featuring the Ferrix Honor Guard emblem and the Ghorman Front symbol from the Ghorman flag. These are set in rainbow shifting acrylic with an epoxy coating on the top

Of course I had to make some Fulcrum keychains with this material! And I printed one of y'all's sticker designs as a keychain: The Max Rebo Tatooine Demos cassette! On the top in Aurebesh it says 90 on the left and then Max Rebo Band/Tatooine Demos in a "handwritten" style font on the right. On the bottom left it says SIDE A and on the right it says STEREO.

I also got better photos of these "I have friends everywhere" designs, as well as my Kleya design below, which says "know your way out" in Aurebesh.

Let me know if there are other t-shirt or sticker designs that you'd like to see as keychains! Shop is here. Love y'all!

This is the Way

A little bit of Mando to head into the weekend. Just a study of Din and his armour, I don't even know if I'd called this a finished piece. I may still tinker with it but for now I wanted to share.

Just watched The Mandalorian & Grogu!

It's not a great movie — but not in the way you think.

It really isn't a great movie. Like not the kind of film you walk out of thinking "this permanently changed my brain chemistry and I need three business days to process it" (like Project Hail Mary was at least in my case). It's by no means a masterpiece or the pinnacle of cinema — far from it.

But it's also not a bad movie. I can't even compare it to anything specific because I left with no bad impressions or any urge to nitpick, really.

It's a good movie — no more, no less… and that's okay. It's a small, fairly grounded, linear story, quite intimate and centered — surprisingly enough /s — on the Mandalorian, a.k.a. Din Djarin, and Grogu. That's it. And we got exactly what was on the poster and in the title. Did it feel like a long episode of the series? Yup. Is it a bad thing? Nope — in fact, it would have been bad if the film tried to cover everything around Din and Grogu, spreading itself too thin.

I'm a fairly undemanding casual viewer who loves grounded cinema and the found family trope, and I'm quite happy with what I got. After a hospital visit and having a huge bucket of sweet popcorn with enough sugar to send a rhino into a diabetic coma — it was genuinely enjoyable.

Honestly, the problem with Star Wars fandom culture is that there seems to be no middle ground between "cinematic masterpiece" and "total garbage". And dude that's literally ruining your experience. Go touch some grass this needs to change I ain't kidding.

The new Mandalorian and Grogu movie was actually pretty good. It was silly, but unovensive. Sigourney Weaver was there.

I think what really helped the movie was that it was so disconnected from the show. Season 3 wasn't popular, and nothing connected to it or the larger Mondoverse was really there. There was no Bo-Katan and Mandalore, or Ahsoka and Sabine Wren and Thrawn. The New Republic in the movie also did not suck and I did not feel like they were attempting the frog-boiling method to lead me into the Sequels. Since that was another unpopular thing about Season 3.

The Mandalorian season 4?

My thoughts about it:

After watching the movie twice and feeling like I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms from my favorite duo, I wonder if a fourth season of the show would be worthwhile? The most obvious answer would be YES, OF COURSE IT WOULD BE. But that answer only applies to a season where the focus would be on developing the relationship between the Din family, the clan of two. Please, give me 8 episodes of father-son adventures, show me Grogu's training as a Mandalorian without abandoning his inner Jedi, give me nuances of Djarin's personality as a warrior, as a father, show me the details of their little house!!

But if the fourth season is just to prepare the ground for other characters, or to close the story of the entire Mandoverse, then just give up, forget it. Damn it, finish the arc of other characters in their designated series!! And maybe then show a cameo of the Din's in those series. If that's the directors' idea, to put all the stories in Djarin's series, interspersing them with cute scenes of the two of them, it won't work; it will be worse than the third season.

And I want to emphasize that yes, people love Grogu, but that love was born from the relationship he has with Din; we love our favorite duo.
