Dear Sir, I'm always awed when you delve into history both in our world history and Literary History. Your knowledge and the depth of your passion for storytelling is inspiring! I do hope that you recover soon, and continue to enthrall.

Oh, Gerald, have you by chance done a video touching on the significance of the town drummer in Ferrix? That’s one symbol in Andor that I’ve yet to unpack

Hey Gerald, could you make a compilation video on your Andor insights? I like to have some Star Wars lore for white noise or leisure listening 😊

Normally, I don’t think much of story beats like “it’s so horrendous we can’t let the audience see/hear it.” However, the phenomenal acting of every actor in that scene conveyed pain on a spiritual level. In this case, it doesn’t matter if there is no mp3 for us, we don’t even want to hear what’s causing Bix that pain.

Resistance comes in many forms. The Mothers of the Pasa de Mayo first used to meet as a sewing club and secretly shared information about and planned how to find the "Disappeared" during the military juntas of Argentina. Playing outlawed music in WW2 Germany on radio or clubs. Ordinary people made contributions with what they could some gave their jewelry to fund partisans in many wars.

The torture of Bix is what greatly propels Cassian to think the way he does afterward. It gives the viewer the best and most personal reason, among several, for his decision to join the rebellion. He found his purpose despite the cost he knew could be high. He was a man conflicted before, but then, no more. His heroics and Bix, too, are understated but real and visceral in all they do until their probable demise, where heroes seldom go in the movies or TV series, at least in fiction not based on true stories. But it works here. Brilliant writing for the mature viewer, which leaves out too many people in our world, unfortunately.

This is the part of the series that makes me, somewhat reluctantly, hold off on watching it together with my 12 year old Star Wars fan son. It's the best Star Wars live action show, IMO, but I don't think the torture scenes are something he needs in his head at his age.

When *Star Wars* makes us curious, it's fun. When *Star Wars* makes us feel, it's engrossing.

I thought I was going crazy until I figured out this is a re-upload of some kind. Thumbs up and comment for the algorithm anyways, 'cause I like this channel a lot and this is a good video.

12:59 I think what's on Luke's utility belt could be that grasper hook on a line that he uses to swing across the chasm with princess Leia.

Some other content creators have questions of Disney supposedly not paying tribute to James Earl Jones yet. Even though I'm not watching anything on Disney plus I've seen quite a bit of it on KZbin, and I kind of wonder if it would add to or if it would help the series to give some insight into what the Emperor was doing at this time. I know how people say less is more, but I grew up wanting more Star Wars (I'm 52) and eventually post 1987 I got it with the role-playing game. I absolutely love the Imperial and Rebel Alliance source books from West End Games and maybe I'm just too spoiled from those, while there's a lot of things that I like about current Disney Star Wars, I am willing to both criticize it and like it at the same time.

Hi Gerald, awesome video on Andor, Marva, was a mother and slave like most people, the start for Cassian was a similar start as Anakin, but she was a great Rebel which the empire did not know to start with, they were able to grow and hide at the same time building up the Rebels, and Marva was in control and more involved than Cassian new, but he joined to and I agree with you on everything in this video, thank you Star Wars Fanatic

Gerald, thought you were on vacation bub!!

I'm wondering if Rebelion in this series is more like French Resistance or like HAMAS?

What a pleasant surprise Skeleton Crew was to me. I was taken back to Spielberg in the 80's.... kid's having a great adventure. When I saw that Watts was director I was not surprised .... I had just watched WOLFS and that amazed me - he incorporated so many techniques ( I can't find the word for all that was packed in) to great effect that for the first time in my life I watched the same movie the very next day. But yeah....MORE SKELETON CREW!!!

Awesome studio set up. Thanks for the thought provoking insight into the Force in other galaxies.

Crosshair was always the best character.

I live in pain and I’ve only filmed a bear. Lost myself after another autoimmune diagnosis, MS after ankalosiing spondy 30 years ago. Meet the day where you are . No worries. The rest of it all beyond joy and relationships is All bunk and noise. You’ll find your way and do. This is the way.

To a New Hope…. Too deliberate and wonky writing. Ezra and the Beatles were wasted. I live with Hope in a state of disease.

Agh.. Advertisement.. Run!! Last one to the skip button is a Wookie.. Agh.. there's no skip button! ... Sneaky dude, very sneaky. Are you sure your not related to the Huts? Noo oo hoo.. I'm part of a Captive Audience. 😭It Burns.. It Burns So Much..🔥❤‍🔥

Why do people seem to overthink this stuff? Star Wars is cool, just enjoy it! I have for 47 years, until recently, before the Dark Times, before the Woke Empire 😂

I'm afraid that the series destroyed Boba Fett so much that there will be absolutely no place for him in rhe movie. Nice to hear you Gerald. It's been awhile.

another Disney woke crap; good old Star Wars days are gone; maybe "The Mandalorian" has some spirit of the true Star Wars

Love that sign off!

it was canon. cope.

I'm trying but the coffie cup still wins everytime...😢

I like the projector. if they had a hyperspace mode.... Like the work of Lovecraft, Star Wars has gone beyond its creator's original ideas. A new power is needed to restore the "Balance of Terror" . Something beyond the Jedi and Siths' limited views about the force. Ashoka showed the way. I say unleash chaos. Have the undead troopers in their pods unwittingly have something else that was not detected by the Night Sisters or Thrawn that was brought back to the OG. I say have more than one kind of force.

I’d like to see something other then empire v rebels for a movie… i know mando and grogu will be…. But Dave’s…

What is that star generator called?

What if Anakin fulfilled bringing balance to the force in his galaxy but his work wasn’t done yet? Now he has to work in another galaxy as a force ghost? Idk baylan said perida was the beginning. I was assuming the force originated from perida. Kind of like a parallel galaxy?

Many thanks for your video!

so people forget that the son and the daughter of the force had a mother that wasn’t force sensitive but. that mother wanted the ability to have the force so she tried to make herself force sensitive and in doing so she corrupted herself. shes now the most evil entity in star wars history.

Yeah, that knife in the JJ Abrams movie showed where Palpatines chamber was after it fell from orbit, so I'll assume the Knife was made, (and found in a dollar store.... LOL) only a few years after the Death Star fell....lol Like nobody could have explored the Death Star without a knife ??? LOL Not much made sense.....in any of the new 3 movies, and it was EXTREMELY lazy writing. Therefore, I can't believe that anything in those movies has anything to do with The Zeffo. Playing Fallen Order, the Zeffo brought back Wonder and Awe to Star Wars. I do hope that this gets handled better then most things do at Disney. Either that, or just leave it be, to our imaginations. I'd rather that then more cheese getting squeezed. Great video though.... Great observations. I just can't give those new movies that much credit...lol Especially my utter disappointment after seeing each one, and the lack of vision. Have a great day !!!!! :-)

Interesting thoughts. I don’t think that this means they brought The Force with them to Peridea, this is -after all, the home planet/Galaxy of The Night Sisters. Also, I think it is implied that the space whales navigate by The Force.

Great insights! I personally (and begrudgingly) ascribe to Lucas’ original description of balance. However, I have workshopped an alternate universe where balance is a little more complicated than that, and there are certain forces of nature that are dark side by necessity. It doesn’t excuse the Sith’s behavior, but it gives place for powerful Force wielders who preside over those forces.

The purrgils are the carriers of the force between galaxies. Isn't this already the cannon explanation?

I hate when people talk like Lucas is the be all end all of the franchise. The universe grew larger than he probably could have ever conceived. As far as “balance in the force means no dark side,” I’ve always thought it’s too optimistic. But you could chalk it up to different interpretations of religion, since you know, the force is space religion.

For the worse

I didn’t like the show. Outside of ray Stevensons character and Shin and the anakin moments, the show was a mess. However I can admit it sets up some interesting things for the future. Hopefully they can give filoni some additional support with writing and producing in future related content or maybe he needs less support/meddling from executives.

Dude what kinda weed strain are you smoking? I wanna try that out.

Hi Gerald, great gadget, I do believe in Clone Wars, Anakin was told he would be the father not the son, and the force is supposed to be everywhere so it can be on other planets and works to, thank you Star Wars Fanatic be safe and warm bro

Problem I see with some of the things you're talking about is that the father told Anakin that he was to replace him, not the son. Which would mean Baylan would have to become the son, not the father

I never heard it pronounced Racka-tan before.

Maybe Anakin is the new Father, Ahsoka is the Daughter, and Baylan is the son?

LOVE the studio !! Well done my friend ! [Edit] these topics are the reason for my sub, I love the theory and speculation that you and your channel dive into

Why does Star Wars have to be so complicated? I'm perfectly fine with my idea (of course) that a person who practices the Dark Side needs to be of a certain energy level in order to be even considered on the threat scale. There may even be people who are practicing either side of the Force who don't quite exactly know that they're practicing the Force, kind of like what was going on with Princess Leia. Aren't galaxies kind of like atoms and smaller galaxies could be like electrons?

I'm glad you enjoyed the Ahsoka show

Elephants never forget.

Glad to hear you again Gerald, welcome back!! Prayers for the back pain 🙏
