I suspect the Chiss Ascendancy are deemed too complex yet boring to be made a viable culture in Disney shows, unless they give them a rework that comes with the danger of gimping Thrawn. But they might go with a Chiss character here and there.

I am with you there, though 8-10 episodes can be perfected these days as long as they are proper 45 minute episodes. With that you can tell epic stories.
Not this 27 minute nonsense that Disney keeps doing with big Star Wars shows…
And with that I am forced to mention The Acolyte’s 8 episodes of ~27 minutes with a budget of $180 million…
With the Kenobi show they wasted so much potential in doing this. That should have been a movie or 10 episode 45 minute episodes at least, just because of all the extra nonsense they crammed in there.
I am getting modern Ewok Movie vibes … and that is not a good thing.
It really feels like another step to remake Star Wars into a more children focused affair, after they laid waste to their more adult fanbase. Now I will await Disney to start throwing toxic sludge at the fans months ahead, so that when the show releases they can blame the fanbase for the failure.
That said, ignoring its copy-paste setup from the Acolyte trailer, for now this teaser did intrigue me, I am curious where the next trailer will take it. But I can’t be bothered any more to get hyped up prematurely.
This is not a new revelation, I guess it just eluded a lot of people watching the movies.
Palpatine could do it on a galaxy wide scale, Yoda mentions “The Dark Side clouds everything” in the prequels.
I don’t remember which, but in various games the Dark Side users had similar powers.
Also, Obi Wan influences the mind of stormtroopers etc. it is a logical conclusion that Dark Side users have abilities like it.
That it is now done in the middle of a lightsaber fight just means the one doing it is trained in this style of combat.
Ofcourse imo it still is bad writing if it works on just about every jedi, in their prime, attacking him in that group.
I’d say the thought is that if Hungary falls out of the EU it will eventually become a vassal state to Putin. This would create a horrid mess greater than keeping it in the EU and trying to coax the Hungarian government more towards European values.
I thought he had to bring it to Mars to find his real memories back so he can fight the mouse eating lizards?
This is expensive cgi, it screams it. Not quite sure why they made it but someone needs to be convinced of something for sure.
(Just compare it to any footage of SpaceX landings, this video is far to clean, the sky alone is “perfect”)
