boring I cant figure out how to down vote
my biggest complaint about all of the new star wars stuff is that the villains are a fucking joke and as such there are no stakes. Andor is the only show where the storm troopers are competent and the good guys take real Ls abd you guys are complaining that Ashoka had a hard time in a fight? why on earth would you want yet another star wars show where the villains are worthless?
jovanna is becoming my fav thing
skip the first 15 minutes. then skip the rest. unbearable
dude needs to calm down
favorite new Podcast. keep it going!
