I am coming to the conclusion that the galaxy map of Star Wars (first created in 1998, I believe) makes no sense.

In the first movie they are going from Tatooine to Alderaan and to Yavin, which is pretty much a trip across the entire galaxy and appears to be maybe an hour of flight at most. (More examples in replies.)

If the distances and positions of the map are correct, then any jump is near instant teleportation to any location, making a map pointless.

Just finished the 4th chapter of Andor Season 2. This is SciFi at its absolute best. I want to hack IMDB so I can rate it 11 out of 10 stars.

I rewatched Season 1 before starting Season 2, and I've also watched the prequel movies and Solo. Next up is Rogue One, merging the two perfectly before continuing to the original trilogy.

“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.

It’s interesting how closely the actors who play characters on TV & in film become associated with their characters. I think this is an artifact of the age of photography, film & video. After all, Hamlet is a well-known & beloved character. No one gets upset when it’s not Olivier.

now has at least 3 different actors (counting back to TOS) playing Kirk & Spock, including SNW & Prodigy, if I’m not mistaken (probably am). It hasn’t spelled the end of the franchise, as far as I can tell, especially since the passing of Nimoy.

seems to have a hard time letting go of original actors. Tem Morrison & Hayden Christensen will have work into the 22nd century if they can hang on that long. Lucasfilm has notoriously produced pretty remarkable results with AI (Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in "The Book of Boba …

After watching Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith on theaters yesterday, I can't help but hum the soundtrack at work as I do stuff.

What an amazing experience that was.

Tomorrow after work I will go watch the anniversary rerelease of Episode III, Revenge of the Sith!

Cannot wait to listen to Williams' score on the big screen once again.
