That's good you knew that PB because I wasn't sure where some of those clips were from :) That was a great one by SW Theory, I'm glad that Plagueis is still like a Muun.

As you know, Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus is one of My most fave SW characters. This is fantastic here as this is when Count Dooku joined Palpatine, how Jango was recruited and more, I just love origins of things :)

Yeah, things that help fill-in the blanks in a meaningful way are cool snippets for SW. This was actually from this weeks Andor season 2 epiosde. Season 2 started out slow but this weeks 3 episodes are some of the best TV I've seen in a longtime. This is Mon Mothma's speech but the person who uploaded it interspersed other clips from various other SW moments to make her speech even better.




After this scene, she has to escape the Senate before the Imps can imprison. Of course she will, we all know this because her story continues. But once she gets off Coruscant, it's very dangerous for her to try and make her way to "secret meeting", and of course, years ago there was one crew up for the job.

Yep, so indeed. All of that was great. Mon Mothma is really one of the most underrated female characters in SW and really in general . Here's this :!:

People will still watch entertaining Star Wars. Stuff like the Sequel Trilogies just weren't it. Sadly, Andor is a terrific series that isn't getting the viewership, but it's built within a shared universe where things happened before and after and it's masterly crafted to fit seamlessly into the narrative of that. The ST had an entirely new playground in that they could go anywhere with their story just building from what had happened, and instead of something new, or creative, even with 20 years of fiction they could borrow from, they went the laziest of routes and recreated the OT with a cheap facsimile. It's a shame now because it's hard to even watch The Mandalorian and get overly excited because all roads lead to the ST so how excited can we be? And anything after the ST sadly will have to build off that abomination unless they can go way into the future and get away from it. But who knows, Disney is probably about at about 25% success rate with their SW stories. Mando is pretty good even though it relies on memberberries too much now. The Acolyte was dreck. Skeleton Crew was surprisingly watchable but doesn't really leave much to build on being such a small-scale story. The Book of Boba Fett did more to damage the character than good. Again, they had a lot of Fett fiction they could've borrowed from and instead they made him a fat, old warlord and the show mostly sucked at best. Ahsoka was interesting at times, but again, all roads of that era have to lead to the ST, unless they can retcon it out of existence, and I'm not sure Disney has the guts or the humility to do so. Time will tell, I guess.
