Any reporting on #TheMarvels box office that doesn’t mention the fact that its stars were ON STRIKE, and unable to promote it at all, is incomplete & irresponsible, at best. Promotional materials have immense value. That stuff helps build moviegoing experiences now. (1/10).

I have MANY thoughts on this whole moronic concept, and fandom culture overall (several of which I’ve gone on about ad nauseam), so I’ll just say this: . It's high time that we reminded audiences that they are, indeed, the fucking audience. They don’t get a say.
Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash. “They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds

Yord registering the effects of cortosis & using it to create an opening has become one of my top SW battle moments. Sure, it doesn't result in a win (to say the least), but it shows his prowess as a tactician. He's a details guy, and this is the height of that trait. #TheAcolyte.

I think there’s something interesting built into modern #StarWars, which was imbued over time, and was honestly sorta inevitable with its nature: The idea that Star Wars is now drawing from Star Wars. It’s been around long enough now to become its own source of inspiration. 🧵

@ThatAldenDiaz The most terrible writing in any of the SW show. Headland wrote these Jedi as emotionless and idiotic. I could barely understand lispy Mog, he was so STUPID in all of his lines. She made these characters as far from how normal Jedi act as she could, just for her story.

Confirmed: Jecki is my favorite character in #TheAcolyte. Best way I can describe her is a healthy mix of TPM Obi and later TCW Snips, but with some rock n’ roll flavor. She takes it seriously, but she’s in touch with her inner spark. Dafne Keen brings a great earnestness to it.

Once again, Nicolas Cage is correct. Look, we can debate dialogue from every angle, but in terms of ACTING, it doesn’t get much better in Star Wars than Anakin looking out over Coruscant. That’s pure, unadulterated opera. It’s haunting. He’s always been underrated.
