    Tonight I watched my favorite Star Wars film, Rogue One.

    Boy howdy, that film is a good one.

    I wouldn't call it my favorite and it certainly has its share of flaws but I really like the dirty crunchy lived-in quality of everything and the final sequence on Scarif is just aces

    Edit: plus Ben Mendelssohn as the galaxy's pettiest imperial officer is fantastic

    Bad Batch seems good, better than I was expecting honestly.

    Seems to be consistent with the quality of stuff filoni has his hands in, which is to say - good.

    We're gonna see the rest of that story one day. It could be next week or years from now, but my ass will be in front of a screen when it happens.

    However, if they put her in that live action Kenobi show and still keep everything family friendly, we will become lesser as a culture for it.

    Maybe the bad batch will travel around the galaxy and assemble all the misfits from the clone wars. Like Asajj, or the deserter.

    If you looking for asajjs story they had a book based on a unfinished clone wars arc. Dark disciple.

    I'm rereading dark rendezvous and man she is a hellcat

    As someone who thought the bad batch characters in the last season were the most eye roll-y thing how much better is the new series with 'em?

    Only one over an hour episode so far but they're much better. With the exception of Wrecker they're a lot less WOOOAH ZAANNNNNY CLONES.

    Wrecker is pretty annoying though. But he doesn't have that many lines, so it might be bearable.

    Are you looking for only games available on computer? Or anything? If anything, you're missing:
    -Rogue Squadron 2 (GCN), 3 (GCN), and Battle for Naboo (basically Rogue Squadron 1.5) (N64)
    -Jedi Starfighter (Ps2)
    -Obi-Wan (Xbox)
    -All the "Super" games (Super Star Wars, etc)
    -Episode 1 (Ps1) and Episode 3 (Ps2, Xbox) games
    -Racer Revenge (Ps2)
    -The Clone Wars (Ps2, GCN, Xbox)
    -Jedi Power Battles (Ps1)
    -There's like 10 Lego Star Wars games, but the ones I remember are 1 (Prequels), 2 (Classic Trilogy), 3 (Clone Wars Cartoon), Sequel Trilogy (not sure of the name), redo of the "Skywalker Saga"
    -Super Bombad Racing (actually don't play this) (Ps2)
    -Demolition (it's like Vigilante 8 or Twisted Metal, basically) (Ps1, Dreamcast)
    -Kinect (X360)

    all good questions. I'm interested in playing as many as possible so it's contingent on accessibility to some of them (like, can I actually find them). Some are easier than others

    Lego Star Wars I have decided I will play one of, there are too many otherwise. the rest of this list is great, thank you. does anything stand out to you in the list you provided

    The best game on this list above is Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader. Rogue 3 actually has the full campaign from Rogue 2 as a 2 player co-op campaign, but its own campaign is much worse and there are some rather noticeable bugs in the Rogue 2 levels. Kinect is the most memeable game here, your stream might get a kick out of how silly it is (presuming they aren't already tired of when it made the meme circuit on release). If you're interested in following a lineage or idea, you could say:
    Jedi Power Battles and Obi-Wan are early attempts at the third person Jedi action game, which is then improved into the basic but fun Episode 3 game which is then refined into Force Unleashed which is eventually superseded by Jedi: Fallen Order.

    You could also pitch Demolition => Battle for Naboo => The Clone Wars => Rogue Squadron 3 as the rough prototype for what was eventually FAR more successful as Battlefront.

    (Also, I forgot, the Episode 2 based Jedi Starfighter was a direct sequel for "Starfighter" which was a Ps2 game where you fly the Naboo starfighter).

    I thought the kid was fine. Way better than Ahsoka at the start. But maybe I'm grading her on a curve with Wrecker. Her imitating Tracker was a nice litttle running gag, I think.

    man, even that one clip is just, god, it's so bad and cringey. Not Babu Frick in particular, but the Poe/Girl interaction

    Man, I really, really dislike that movie

    I assume Babu Frik being bad and cringey is part of the nihilistic love people have for them.

    I'm just happy people are getting enjoyment out of that movie. I didn't hate watching it, but I kind of consider it a really high-budget fan film and still wonder what really happened to those characters after TLJ.

    Yeah I wanted to clarify, I don't really have a problem with Babu Frik, it was really the scenes surrounding him that I had an immediate reaction to. Babu Frik being a bit Too Much is like, so far down on my list of things I would criticize about the movie that honestly he's at least something where I'm like oh hey it's this guy, this isn't horrible at least

    I hated TRoS so much that I needed something to latch onto and Babu Frik was it, so completely out of place and bad that he managed to somehow also rule, like ok the dumbest part of this dumb movie is also somehow the best.

    Apparently Babu Frik wasn't originally in that last scene, but since he tested well people were worried he got yeeted on whatever planet that was that asploded, so they just inserted him into Zori's spaceship. You can literally see him just slide animate into frame, so I wouldn't be surprised if they re-used his "eh-heeeey" from the previous scene too.
