Star Wars [3]

Great last episode of Andor.

It's getting a free viewing on one of the networks tonight. Hope to catch it and if I get that magic feeling it will be time to subscribe to Disney.

Wife gets me it each year as a Xmas present. Think the price goes up December 3rd. So get it before then.

Ah, thanks. I actually missed the free broadcast because the friend I was staying with doesn't have a TV antenna.

That brings to mind something I should have realized before: so many films are filmed using British studio lots, yet Britain is credited with producing comparatively few films. What's going on with that? I suppose it's the funders that get the credit, not the facilities and hired teams.

{{ Loads of major Hollywood films are shot here, always have been, Alien and Aliens were shot here for example and of course all the Harry Potter films, the new Batman movie was shot in Glasgow doubling for Gotham (its also doubled for New York and a few other US cities in various films).





In the BAFTA Best British Film category there have been a couple of winners who on the surface dont seem to be British films- not set here, not got British Actors or writers, but then you look at where it was filmed (usually Pinewood) its directors, and everything else and they are all Brits. }}

Watched the first 2 episodes of Ahsoka.
This guy describes it perfectly.

Love the supplemental theme music.

What little scraps I've seen of Ashoka looked horrendous. But despite other failures, both Mandalorian and Endor have been good. More misses than hits, but Disney has not been a complete failure for Star Wars. We have to remember that Lukas himself was already driving it into the ground with prequels, ewoks, and the worst love scenes ever scripted.
