Rock is genuinely great here. Shocked he took this long to do a role like this, & should regularly do films like this going forward. Good movie, but felt a bit paint-by-numbers at points.

The last couple years whenever I’ve gone thrifting I’ve looked for some of the Star Wars chapter books I had/read as a kid, FINALLY found 2 of them in the wild today. Big nostalgia bomb for me seeing that Queen Amidala journal!

I have no doubt that the superhero stuff is gonna be great, but I’m already hoping for Clark Kent & Peter Parker working on a news story together.

Thank you all 😊For some it’s minuscule, but for smaller channels/podcasts out there, this is one of the 1st big milestones you can reach. And 2 eps. before our target goal! You are all the best, and we appreciate every single one of you for journeying through Star Wars with us

Maybe it’s because the last few weeks on *the other site* have been extra awful, but watching this trailer put a smile on my face regardless. Solid, pulpy adventure vibes.

Also Mando has his pulse rifle back and that’s really cool. 😁
