That Spock will kill ya! SSB

Well, for the Trinity test, there's always David Lynch's take on it from the 2017 third season of Twin Peaks. Starts very realistically (at least as far as I know) but eventually gets super weird -- but never less than fascinating. YMMV. SSB

Other than the Falcon, the set-piece vehicles you can see are ST stuff -- an X-wing and an A-wing. I've only been twice (albeit on the same trip), but there were a fair number of relics of the OT scattered about -- smaller things, at least. SSB

Yep -- Catherine Martell. I watched Twin Peaks when it originally aired and I was four years out of high school, and did a re-watch around 2016. Her appeal didn't register much the first time, but last time around it was quite different. SSB

My reaction to the "do we need this?/we don't need this" line (along with "no one was asking for this"): Define "need" … SSB

The cynical, go-to response when someone one respects is reported to have participated in something one doesn't respect. And I strongly suspect that Filoni didn't need Zahn's permission to use the character. SSB

It could be they chose that one because something in the story mirrors some aspect of the theme of this season. SSB

I know that Zahn did consult with Filoni, at least when they brought Thrawn into Rebels. SSB

Mystery Science Theater quote (can't recall if it was Joel or Mike) in reaction to a glaring example of such a scene: "Wow! It's really dark … at noon." SSB

So, anecdotal evidence. My own anecdotal evidence is pretty much the opposite, and is probably worth just as much as anyone else's. I haven't heard or seen much in terms of actual viewer numbers being reported or even suggested -- except (I presume) by those YouTube channels that always seem as...

Sorry, but how have you determined this? "Small" compared to what? SSB

Well, to add to that, in the case of the Ghost crew, we know the ship, presumably with Hera, Zeb and Chopper aboard, and possibly Sabine, were in the thick of things at least right before the events of ANH, except of course for those who may dismiss Rogue One. We're not sure where Ahsoka was...

There is a collection of “essential Ahsoka” episodes of Clone Wars and Rebels on Disney+. I don’t think you’d have to watch the entirety of both series to enjoy it more than you apparently did. If that’s still too much time, I know that New Rockstars put out a video (about an hour and half, I...

Anakin wasn’t a “Jedi Master,” but he was “master” to his padawan. Just as a lieutenant can be the captain of a ship without attaining the rank of captain. Two different things that use the same term. SSB

There has been speculation (at least in the Screencrush breakdown) that — because of the timey-wimey nature of the show — we may have seen some of the season finale events in the first episode. SSB
