This, this is no palace, but it drinks no sun and leaks no wind. The sand won't find you here unless you invite it. Come, sit. Even Shai-Hulud would pause before disturbing such stillness. #DuneAwakening

Ok, yeah, it's AI, but what surprised me how it chose to include Pedro Pascal in the background (between L and D letters).

Rogue One does not feel like a different movie.
It *is* a different movie.

Admit it, you're watching too

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out heartily, and started watching Rogue One.

Seen it on socials, so had to verify for myself, it checks out:

The first public announcement of #Andor Diego Luna's casting in #RogueOne was an exclusive article by Variety, *exactly 10 years ago today*:

(no Bothans died bringing you this information)

I vote we all rewatch Rogue One next week and pretend we haven't seen it before.

Thoughts on Part 2 (Eps 4 - 6, Season 2)

- Ghorman; Vive la résistance
- I need those glasses
- Saw Gerrera is terrifying. On some levels, reminds me of Silco
- The berets, they really work
- Characters that need an Emmy for those eps: Bix's pain and Cassian's fear

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33:

Just finished first hour.... Intriguing, to say the least.

Lore-wise, somewhere between Final Fantasy and... Death Stranding maybe idk.? Very little idea of what's going on there.

(Love it so far, we should have more games like this)

#Andor: Some random notes on the first 3 eps of S2: 1/2

- Always double-check your "Invert Y-Axis" setting
- Perrin Fertha looks how I imagine Vangelis looked in his youth
- The kylemaclachlan-y guy nails it with his "being in a literal hell" performance
- Chandrila wedding music is 🔥

You remember the feeling after seeing the first scene of The Two Towers? That's what I had after first 12 minutes of S2E1 of Andor.

Oblivion Remaster, Andor, all after *that episode* of The Last Of Us, all in the same week; will cause some nerddom overload fr

#TheLastOfUs: Well that was a mixture of The ***** of *****, ***** ****, and *** *** *******.
