Feel like this can't be said enough, if I'm ever talking to a fellow Star Wars fan and they mention that they listen to ForceCenter I know I'm in for a good vintage.
Great show, as always!
I’ve been out of touch. What channels is Ken working on?
The Indy game is also on PC! It will most likely release eventually on ps5 but not sure when 🫠
Proud of u Jen!
I was very confused by the statements of the Sith at the end of the episode. First he says Jedi can’t been killed by steel (but we literally just saw a Jedi get stabbed and die). Then after his speech about not using weapons, he ignited his lightsaber (which is a weapon). Is he Darth Contradiction? I am not a toxic fan. Just a confused one.
Loved the Cantina playset discussion! I agree with Ken on Bright Tree Village and on the Pod Race Starting area.
Other channels?! Where are these?
thanks for the convo on metrics….I always wondered how that was done in streaming 👍🏻
So great to have non-toxic Star Wars channels, who appreciate the art and reativity that goes into these shows and movies! And the stories, that enrich this vast universe!
About having a game writer for Andor: I'm all for it! Young people nowadays rather play gams than watch TV/streaming or movies in the theatre. And I think a game writer will bring some of the vibes to the show that may attract them or keep them interested.
And I agree with Andrew – I too love all Star Wars TV, (I haven't seen the notorious Christmas Special yet…) and also all the movies! Going to the movies is always a different experience than sitting on your sofa and watching something, even when it is epic. I'm looking forward to the new movies, but I can understand that Lucasfilm did not want to make them for a while. They ae so expensive, and they get so much hate, which could affect the revenu, which is needed to finance them.
Xbox's showcase absolutely stole the show this weekend for the first time maybe ever! They have a lot of very cool games coming down the line. While there is some stuff exclusive to Xbox all of it can be played on PC as well. Sony's exclusives take years and years to get moved to PC because they want to try and force you to buy a playstation. Some games just never get put on PC(Bloodbourne). Unfortunately all of the triple AAA gaming companies are making some bs business decisions that only hurt their fans and workers in an effort to help their margins. Fortunately, indie games are better than they ever have been and are only getting better. I am making an effort to not pay for triple AAA games unless it's something I absolutely have to play like Star Wars Outlaws.
Me and my buddy Josh were texting before the acolyte premiere that we were equally excited about the ForceCenter review of it! I'm so glad I found you guys years back when I really embraced my fandom of Star Wars. Criticism about Star Wars is totally fine, but you guys have never been hateful or toxic when something rubs you the wrong way. I'll never be able to express how much I appreciate the safe space the 3 of you have created for Star Wars fans like me who want to embrace the light.
Idk what it is but the animated shows have been consistently giving me more of the "Star Wars chills" than the live action shows, and its not the visuals. There's something about the way they're structured that has consistently worked better even though I have liked or even loved the live action shows. I keep finding myself wanting a live action show written by the animation writers.
The story and writing in the gears of war games are incredible so i have full faith they can deliver with Andor.
Thanks, Joseph! Thanks, Ken! Congratulations and best of luck to Jennifer for continuing her studies!!! 🗞
