Apparently only Star Trek fans are allowed to complain when something is shit. Considering how the E9 was universally panned, I'd say the vast majority of actual fans aren't happy that Rey will be back. Tbh Daisy Ridley probably isn't either but she desperately needs the work. What an absolute shit show. Sorry if that offends anyone.
Well it could turn out worse…..

John Boyega is an entitled fluffybunny and amazingly sounds like even more of a dickhead than the character he played which is quite an achievement. Throwing his toys and playing the race card cos he didn’t get the “arc” he wanted. Yeah you tell them John, Star Wars has constantly treated its “non white” stars like shit…..Temuera Morrison, Carl Weathers, Rosario Dawson, Samuel L Jackson, Donald Glover, Pedro Pascal, Diego Luna, Oscar Isaac……all the way back to Billy Dee Williams.
All as big or bigger stars than you and all ( I assume ) grateful to be part of this massive franchise.
Know your place and STFU John.

Tbf Flinn was a terribly underdeveloped character. So much potential there wasted. He may be a cøck but I don't blame him for being a tad pissed off. But it's clear some of the people getting gigs with SW haven't even watched it before. Some nonce in one of the upcoming series said that SW is patriarchical. Seriously? Leia, Padme, Mon Mothma, Rey, Jyn, Rose, Holdo, Lando-rooting droid, the multitude of strong female characters in Mando and BoB. What the actual F? Another said that you can't tell between good and evil in SW. What on earth is going on?

Perhaps but bringing race into it ?
Maybe he could have suggested at the time that running around shrieking “Rey” every five minutes wasn’t going to endear him to fans instead of bitching about it afterwards.
Star Wars fans online are bloody laughable with their bullshit though. Whilst I agree Rose was a terrible character the fact the actress got death threats and bullied off social media makes me pretty disgusted in the human race to be honest.
Looks like the Ashoka series has more strong female characters to bring in on top of the ones we already have !
Hopefully John saw the latest episode of Mando cos it definitely filled the “annoying overweight black female singer” demographic very effectively.

To get back to the actual show, and quality of the show, I find it weird how much hate this episode is getting (more refereeing to online in general as opposed to on the Fern). More because the series has always been an overarching arc with task of the week episodes. This one didn't seem any different to me, but then I don't hold S1 & S2 as sacrosanct as some fans do. It really was like most episodes, they flew to a planet, performed a task that involved some action, then got to their goal of meeting with the Mandos.

If you told me before I watched that Jack Black Black and ( I don’t even know her name ) would be in it chances are I would have hated it out of principle but it was still great fun. They played their rich dickhead parts quite well overall I thought.
I’m still struggling a bit as to what the whole point of this season is though to be honest despite how good it has been at times.

Yeah, I really enoyed it. As soon as I saw Lizzo I knew exactly what the online reaction would be.
I’d pref they didn’t do celebrity actors, but can ignore them enough to enjoy the rest.
Darksaber FTW for me, and kicking robots to find the broken ones was great.

For me, the Din story finished at the end of season 2. So the show seems to be transitioning to The Madalorians, plural.
I’m here for that too.

I’m hoping we get a few bounty hunter cameos, that would be nice.
I have a feeling Moff Gideon will make an appearance late in the piece and escape to be the main antagonist for someone else’s series.

Lizzo is an artist that is body positive, ie she's happy to die an early death* due to morbid obesity. Putting her, or some ginger fat twat, into a TV series really sucks IMO
The guy was Jack Black who is similar but funny
(*) I would say she is happy to cost the tax payer $ but she will most def be going private, like JB

@MN5 I have to watch it because of the kids but some cameos might improve it. Snoop with a doobie would be difficult to explain the the kids.
Fo shizzle.
Jabba liked a good smoke before Leia strangled him

There is no point to it that's the problem. There is no plan, they just change and make this shit up as they go. The last episode of S2 was amazing. Luke comes and Grogu says goodbye. But Disney doesn't want to lose that Baby Joda cash cow so they bring the little fella back to sell more merch. The fact that you have to win the dark saber through combat also set up an intriguing conflict between Mando and BK. But nah he just hands it back after she saves his arse the entire series. If people find it entertaining that's great, but there are legitimate criticisms and the lack of an overarching plan certainly is one of them. Something that's really jarring is the fact they binned the EU but Ashoka's arc is based hugely on the Heir to an Empire story. Why they didn't just use this amazing source material from the beginning is beyond me.
