I got to see
#Ahsoka
tonight. This was the first Star Wars show to have an opening crawl. Ahsoka is 100% a sequel to Rebels. The 2 episode premiere felt like it was right out of The Clone Wars & Star Wars Rebels, but in live action.
#TheAcolyte
is the force-sensitive version of Andor. The cast is stellar, the writing of each episode is jam packed. Practical sets and amazing costumes, as well as sfx work make every location feel lived in, while having an emotional throughline to keep it focused.
I LOVED
#Dune2
. More focused on the love story between Paul and Chani, the stakes are higher and there’s a fascinating commentary on faith. The costumes are STUNNING, especially Florence Pugh’s. The pacing slowed down a bit nearing the final act, but is still a riveting watch.
In
#TheAcolyte
, Leslye Headland delivers a love letter to Prequel and High Republic fans alike. I’ve seen 4 of 8 episodes, and it’s everything I’ve wanted to see from Star Wars for a very long time. The force infused martial arts in the series is incredible.
I hope Lucasfilm is taking notice of how much Star Wars Visions is striking a chord with everyone, but especially fans who haven’t been into SW recently. Fans who weren’t into TROS, or disliked Rebels and Bad Batch are very much loving Visions. We need more of this.
I’m having a hard time putting into words how much
#BlueBeetle
means to me. I loved this movie & I was so moved by seeing Latino culture so authentically represented on screen. We’re not just the side kicks and a stereotype. A great DC Film with a lot to say, and a lot of heart.
These four are incredible. Austin Butler is brilliant as Feyd Rautha. He’s menacingly terrifying and so much fun to watch. Timothée Chalamet is also AMAZING, his story arc is very well crafted.
#DunePartTwo
looks amazing: watch it in IMAX if you can. Can’t wait to rewatch.
#XMen97
is freaking NUTS. I knew very little about the
#XMen
but the series completely blew me away & I’m a diehard fan now. My favorite thing is the show is also pretty horny??
They know what the people want. One of the men was in a crop top at one point and EVERYONE gasped 😱
I have mixed feelings on the legacy of
#Ahsoka
and Rebels continuing on without the cast that popularized them. However, seeing Lothal in live action, and hearing new renditions of Kevin Kiner’s iconic themes had me really giddy. Kiner’s Star Wars music is iconic.
#TickTickBoom
is a special movie with a heart wrenching performance from every actor involved. Definitely Andrew Garfield’s best performance to date!

Now I’m imagining him and Wonder Woman having the yass costume transformation sequence together and Bruce is in the corner brooding
#Barbie
is incredible. I laughed, I cried, I danced in my seat. I wasn’t prepared the amount of DEPTH this film has. The heart and social commentary of this film, combined with the incredible work from EVERY department just… WOW. I loved it so much.
@POCculture
We need to get away from the cameo of the week 🎥 which EVERY show has been doing, and build more original lore and using the mythology of Star Wars keep fans in awe. The high republic has done this for me, but on screen Star Wars hasn’t, by sticking to familiarity. Until Visions
I love the High Republic with all my heart, but as a teen, Aftermath was the first time my questioning gay self saw a gay main character and it was everything. I remember where i was when I saw Sinjir was queer. Aftermath was such a big part of my early fandom, it was great.
@DoctorJonPaul
Man that really hurts to see 😭😭😭 that child deserves better 💔. When I was that young I heard a LOT of comments about my weight and it breaks my heart that people can be so cruel
Lucasfilm friends!!

@KrystinaArielle
was everything y’all. The High Republic Show was a big inspiration for me as I got started in journalism 😭😭 2/4
Meeting
@claudiagray
was the absolute most surreal moment of the night. Lost Stars was the first Star Wars book I ever read, and I was obsessed with canon ever since. I don’t know if I’d be where I am now without my Star Wars obsession, which lead me to

#BlueBeetle
has great action. At times it feels very anime inspired. There are references to video games as well, and a ton of attention to detail with Jaime’s powers; drawing from Injustice 2 combos and Young Justice. I hope we see a lot of Jaime Reyes in the DCU going forward.
Hey everyone! I have a doctor's appointment coming up in a week from Monday, all the way in Arkansas. My mom and I are flying from LA. I started a
#GoFundMe
to help cover costs because it's expensive and I could use some help. RTs appreciated!
The choice to focus on the family is what makes
#BlueBeetle
unique, and its greatest strength. The DC Universe is filled with Gods and monsters, & this film found a way to ground itself through the Latin American experience. I related to the Reyes family so much. Loved Nana Reyes
I recently had the chance to watch Star Wars Visions: Volume 2, and was completely amazed. In such a short amount of time, every episode made me feel so deeply about these characters. Volume two is an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible.
#Willow
is fantastic. The show is stunning. This show feels different from what we've seen with Marvel and Star Wars lately, it's a breath of fresh air. The new cast are so compelling and I love every single character in the show.
The first episode of
#TheBadBatch
season 2 is a really solid start to the season! I enjoyed this episode more than the series premiere, especially tonally. The music is also really great and makes the show feel cinematic. I’ll have more reactions out later today
@POCculture
I just caught up on High Republic Adventures and holy shit if that run isn't the best Star Wars comic I've read in a while idk what is. It's so meaningful and the queer analogies you could take from Zeen/Krix and their culture in this essay i will... no spoilers but ilu
@djolder
This
#BlueBeetle
interview is so special to me. My first on camera interview was with director Angel Manuel Soto, talking Latino culture and anime. It was the best day. We need more of our stories told on the big screen!
Link:
My point with this is just that I noticed fans who haven’t liked recent Star Wars content are all for this, and I’m wondering if this is partly why? Also their approach with visions is super different than what we’ve been getting recently elsewhere.
I want us to make as much noise as possible over Visions so that we can get a full fledged in universe anime series (or multiple). Just imagine if we had an anime on a scale/budget like TCW/Bad Batch!! We need more voices telling these stories!
#OfficialPix

#StarWarsCelebration
yet multiple clone wars actors are there and available to purchase autographs and photos with 🙄
understood as to who’s allowed in and who isn’t…
Per Warner Bros., Latinos accounted for 39% of Blue Beetle's box office totals. These were the top ten theaters nationwide. Los Angeles/Southern California, Phoenix, San Antonio and El Paso made the list.
I only saw the original
#Willow
a few weeks ago, and after this series Willow is often on my mind! I cannot describe how alive and real the world feels; I'm obsessed. The actors all do a great job as well.
The lack of season 3 explaining Din has Grogu again tells me they underestimate the number of casual fans. Most people aren’t super fans watching YouTube videos or reading recaps about this stuff and are just living their life, watching after work etc…
I'll tweet this again in the morning but if anybody's up/doesn't mind sharing:
I've got a pretty bad case of TMJ that's completely upended my life and I need dentistry to help fix it. We tried so much treatments by now that for this, we need financial help
The show feels very fresh just like
#Andor
. Except the tone of this show is not nearly as dark in comparison, it works really well for the material. It's also really great to see a diverse group of people featured in the cast. I really enjoy this show.
The panel is over, but I GOT TO BE IN THE FRONT ROW OMG!! I love all of the actors they’re so cool 😭😭
They give such a family vibe and they’re such a joy to listen to. They really love their characters and the show.
#SupermanAndLois
’ next episode is a love letter to fans.
It was such an honor for me to speak with
@ArianaDeBose
,
@RachelZegler
and David Alvarez! They were so nice to me. Not only was it my first time interviewing an actor, but interviewing Latinx talent, so I was very nervous! 🤣😱
#Andor
is remarkable. The quality is so high, I’m in love with this show. This is a more grounded, character driven story set before the rise of the Rebellion. We find Cassian in a different place from what we know in
#RogueOne
, and it's going to be a great journey to get there.
Can star wars fans (derogatory) get a life instead of harassing other people over their opinions?? like what in the insecurity is going on here??😭😭
People think Andor is better than other stuff- who the fuck cares? Weirdo behavior if you follow that account too
So, a *WILD* update
Someone (I think I know who) made a satirical account to follow me and my friends who like
#Andor
in an attempt to say that we're somehow "toxic" for expressing our nuanced opinions. Blocked it.
Let me be clear: *this* is toxic and deranged behavior.

, writing my review rn:
I am screamingcryingyelling, his books are always on point and i now care about a character i never wanted to LMAO
Between watching
#Andor
and listening to The Princess and the Scoundrel in the last few days, my interest in the original trilogy is at an all time high. I can’t get enough of it. Star Wars is so good right now 😍😍
I'm so excited to see what they have in store for us. Finally my favorite franchise is gonna have fresh slate of films 😭
I've loved the recent DCEU movies but there's so much baggage that they really just need to start fresh.
However you feel about the Snyderverse, it’s been long past time to completely move on & start fresh for
#DC
films. The failure to do that & the constant back & forth reflected poor leadership & lack of creative vision at WB. Looking forward to a truly new era of DC films.
