At least the intentionally absurd Austin and Mini Me only had one pair of feet coming out of their bulging coat. :slap

But, yeah, your larger point is well taken. It speaks to what Wor-Gar was saying about the assembly line of endless content that SW has become. Not only do these releases lose that "special" feeling of being rare treats, but the desire for quantity will often compromise story integrity. It's just not enough of a priority. That awesome ESB sequence with the AT-ATs was the result of constructing imaginative designs to suit the (already solid) story purpose. But nowadays, it's almost always about constructing story to fit the (already solid) components. Backwards and not good.

If I had told you ten years ago that there would be a 4+ hour show about Obi-Wan and Vader, with a Disney budget and the Lucas-era actors, that no one would be talking about anymore just *months* after it finished airing, you probably wouldn't have believed me. Yet here we are. They're okay with SW being disposable entertainment now, even with the most sacred of characters and context. But to be fair, plenty of fans seems perfectly okay with just getting more and more.
But that BOBF thread was legendary lol

That it was good sir. The Wor-Gar cut of like a bantha set to Madonna's like a virgin to the cool spin and shoot move by the badass vespa rider to the senior citizen paced speeder chase with the candy coated bikes to Boba being defeated by a locked door. All great talking points and entertainment for months.

Defeated by a locked door then tried to impress a mechanical rabbit.

That is definitely not the same guy who stood up to Vader lol

At least they were true to the ROTJ character development!

I'm pulling this Vader comic, getting my copy each month, and I haven't actually read it in... a year? That's how much Disney has me caring about SW right now...

It boggles the mind that we went from this:

Man that first battle on Hoth, it shows how much of a power the Empire was and during that whole sequence I was just shocked to see the rebels be pushed out and was worried they'd catch up to them.
