10/10 Mandalorian and Grogu was awesome, no notes had a great time, will be watching it again and I hope Zeb and Rotta got that drink together.
I love this so much and all I thought was I want to see them drinking together, I think they will be great pals
I would like to offer my thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu after first seeing it at the premiere last week, following the discourse around it, and rewatching it this week in 4DX (that was a lot of fun). Light spoilers incoming...
First of all, I will just say how incredible it is to have Star Wars back in the theater. It feels special that it is a movie based on the show that turned me from a casual Star Wars enjoyer to an intense fan. It was Ahsoka's appearance in season two that finally made me watch all the animated shows, and the rest is history.
I loved this movie so much, and it was even better on the second watch. It's fun, and reminds us why we love star wars in the first place. I love the depressing Galactic Empire Era of Star Wars as much as any other angst addict, but this is what we need right now. Not to bring politics in, but the world is very f'cked, and we need an escape. Escapism has always been a big reason why I personally was drawn to Star Wars. If you go rewatch A New Hope, you will be reminded of that, even if the stakes might have been higher. This movie has so many nods to the original movies that it just feels like a comforting blanket honestly.
What I enjoyed most with this movie is not surprisingly, Grogu. But it's not as simple as he is so cute. I mean, he is, but... I really loved his growth in this film, and people who were expecting him to speak must have been watching a completely different series than I was. It's a slow process, yet he communicates with Din Djarin in ways that we might not be able to grasp. I have seen arguments that he doesn't understand him, but I think he does in many different ways. They might not communicate in a secret language, but it works just as well. And in this movie, Mando finally learns that he can trust Grogu. he doesn't always need to be saved or protected.
Grogu is taking charge more than he ever has before. If you compare him just to the s3 finale, you will see a clear difference. This is why I espcially loved the second half of the film when he works together with the Anzellans to rescue Mando. And when he chooses to stay, that too, is a very active, hard decision for him. (And no, he shouldn't have taken off his helmet, he respects him too much for that.)
Most of the positive reviews I have seen underline the fun and inconsequential events of this movie: "your kids will love it", etc. Well, I am a single 30+ childless woman who just happens to love the bond of Mando & Grogu, and I think this movie has a deeper meaning, but it isn't on a "we are going to save the galaxy" level. It's about found family and looking out for each other, in true Star Wars spirit. That might sounds simple, but it's powerful imho.
"The old protect the young, and then the young protect the old. This is the way."
"father. I have a bomb."
The safest place I've ever known is in your arms
Absolutely stunning 😭
Hello, everyone!
I was doing some research and it seems to be the case that a "World Physical Media" day does not exist (yet). Now, this may be silly of me, but I want to change that! So, I am establishing a grassroots movement and you are all invited to join.
I would love for there to be a day every year where we celebrate all things tangible, with the backbone of it being media preservation and fan participation.
I have decided that the date will be December 11th. December 11th 1978 was the day that the LaserDisc (then known as DiscoVision) debuted. Though a somewhat niche format, LaserDisc represents the philosophy of World Physical Media Day: preservation of uncut/imported/obscure media, the power of fan culture and the beauty of physical media. The day will be about all physical media, though, not just LaserDiscs!
If you care about media preservation, enjoy posting shelfies, are tired of disingenuous AI slop content or just simply enjoy actually owning and holding something you love, please consider joining the movement!
Ways to support World Physical Media Day:
Purchase physical media (especially from a local, bricks and mortar store if possible!)
Share your collections, fave editions and "shelfies" with the hashtag #WorldPhysicalMediaday
Borrow physical media from a library or put a request in
Watch a movie/show on physical media (e.g: DVD, blu-ray, LaserDisc, VHS, Betamax, etc)
Listen to an album on physical media (e.g: vinyl, CD, cassette, minidisc) from beginning to end
Visit a library, bookstore, game store or video store, spread the word about World Physical Media Day if you're so inclined!
Preserve and back up media you own: learn how to catalogue collections, protect your media and investigate ways on how you can create backups (or find someone in your community who can)
Share stories behind your fave physical media
Donate unwanted physical media to libraries, charities and other organisations that may be looking for it
Learn about a physical media technology you don't know much about
Host a meetup: watch a DVD with friends, listen to a vinyl record with a family member, etc!
These are just some suggestions, you are more than welcome to celebrate the day however feels right and manageable to you. ❤︎
I know this is obviously very early but I feel like it doesn't hurt to put it out there now and promote the endeavour. I also wanted to share now so that if anyone has any ideas or contributions they'd like to make, there is ample time.
P.S: my handwriting is sloppy, yes, but it is my own! I like writing on pen and paper and I felt like it was in the spirit of what I want World Physical Media Day to be about: authenticity, enjoyment and the preservation of the tangible ꨄ︎
Memo pad was bought here!
Please spread the word of this incredible initiative 🙏
Animated Star Wars Fans KEEP WINNING
Thank goodness

When I say “fuck JKR,” I mean that shit from the DEPTHS of my soul.
From the late 90s for 20ish years, until the terfy shit started (and even a bit before that, when she and her nonsense became way too present on social media), you’d never have found someone more dedicated to that fandom. I wrote fanfiction and analysis, I had a relatively popular roleplay blog, I dedicated SO much time and energy toward that series, and I would have continued being a top supporter for the rest of forever, were she even a halfway decent human being.
As we all know, though, she is not. She is the Dolores Umbridge of her own story. Over the years, I’ve come to realize it was the fandom I loved far more than the thing itself. There are TONS of issues with the source material that we overlooked or explained away as kids, but they’re glaring now. We could get into that in another post, but quite honestly I don’t want to spend any more time than absolutely necessary. I’ve already given more than enough of myself to it.
My point here is, if there is anyone on this planet who understands the nostalgia factor and how hard it is to let go of something that was so embedded into your life and personality, it’s me. And guess what? I still did it. I have not read the books, watched the movies, spent any money on merchandise, or talked much about it for years now, and I AM DOING GREAT. Dare I say, I’m the best I’ve ever been. You can do it, too.
No IP is worth supporting someone who chooses to hurt people and finds glee in it. There are SOOO many other far more worthy IPs to get into (see my recommendations here). Please give them your time and attention, and make JKR irrelevant. So from the depths of my soul to her obvious lack of one, FUCK JKR for ruining the magic - or, more appropriately, for not having the talent or decency to give us the magic we deserved in the first place.
Look at Pedro such a proud dad 😭
#He's going to hell for this
Seriously wtf 😭
