@Reach @downpunxx

Then I would name you a liar, Ser Reach!

Just kidding. You can like it all if you want. I love that modern Star Wars is basically a big buffet where you can take what you want and leave what you don't want. If you want to gobble down everything on the buffet table, have at it.

@Emperor I actually like that line. I think it works for the character. In a movie filled with bad dialogue, I don't understand why that is the line so many people bring up.

@Shyfer @kalpol

Serious agreement. A better director, and to be fair to Lucas, a director than wasn't busy dealing with all the new special effect technology, and a bit of work on the script to sell Anakin's fall to the dark side a bit better and we would have had a solid trilogy.

I think Rogue One and Andor are better entry points for people who like grittier more socially realistic fantasy/sci-fi. If she likes BSG and GoT, she is far more likely to be into Andor than other Star Wars.

I want to say it lacks grit, too smooth. It needs texture. The game trailer looked better.

@Oneeightnine
Probably Civilization or Crusader Kings at this point.

@Odo @Oneeightnine I had a pretty similar experience, tearing through the books between seasons 1 and 2. Reconciling Ian Glen's charisma with the book version Mormont, creeping on a teenage girl, was hard too.

@Casey_Masterpiece @MushuChupacabra The sad thing is that the "Inside the Episode" explanation often undermined far better explanations being posted by apologist fans.

@solstice @Oneeightnine

Huh, the season 1 "sexposition" complaint is legit. But out of 11 major character, the show/books kill off 3 in first 6 seasons/5 novels. 2 more die in the second to last episode of the show. The first 3 deaths push the plot forward in meaningful ways. I'm thinking I disagree.

@kometes @Oneeightnine

Brienne's Feast plot was great her plot line and Lady Stoneheart should have been in season 4/5. (Along with Nimble Dick).

@DapperDog @dornad Legit, I felt that way about every character in Feast before I gave it a second read.
