Nailed it. They're just a content factory these days. I didn't watch it as I'm just jaded with Disney content these days and after reading and hearing about Boba Fett (and seeing some videos about it) I had no faith this would be any good.
A few of the guys whose videos I watch had predicted, from the trailer, that this series would be about Reva rather than Kenobi and they would just be using the name recognition of OWK to lure fans in to a show that was ostensibly a set-up for their new character. This appears to be exactly what happened.
It wasn't tbh.
Reva was a new character and they had some focus on her but that description you've posted is inaccurate. The vast majority of plot and screen time is OWK.
Not suggesting you are at all but old school nerdy Star Wars fans really don't seem to like black people having prominent roles.

You know as well as I do that it depends on the seat numbers. If the combined Labour and LibDem numbers do not exceed 326 they'll have to start being nice to Nicola.
Of course. I've said multiple times I believe the make up will be Labour and Lib Dems and they'll have enough.
I also wouldn't be so surprised if they took a few from the SNP during the GE too.
Now of course SNP being a power player is possible but I think the chances are so miniscule that Labour would need the SNP and even if they did they're not going to concede on a referendum.
Would be very odd to see SNPs strategy if we have a GE before their autumn plans. They've already said we're having a referendum so they can't really campaign on that issue.

I used to be quite left wing, these days I'm a shade of pink. At the end of the day in a GE Labour need to pile up about 10m votes to jettison the Tories and probably get about 12m plus to get a majority so being realistic I think we will be in hung parliament territory.
Think most people on here would certainly be glad to see the back of the Tories. The incessant lying and corruption is utterly wearing and the UK is an international joke. I don't think Indyref2 will happen next year as it will be blocked so I'm at the stage I don't care who beats the Tories, I just want rid of them. If that means a progressive coalition where the angry rhetoric between them (Labour, Libs, SNP) could be shelved in the interest of getting the fucking Tories gone then I'm all for it.
This was quite a good post but the SNP won't be near the table thankfully.
Either a Labour majority or they'll get propped up by Lib Dems.

Yes, but it's hardly a high bar is it? I mean there's hardly a groundswell of cheering for Starmer's vision which is, erm, not sure really. I'm delighted they did win, mind you.
I'm happy to see Labour win the next GE.
I don't care if leftists think he's uninspiring, he's clearly inspiring enough to be beating his opposition at this point, you can only play against the opponent you're given.

The thing is, though, did they win it by offering a credible, well-thought appeal to voters or was this more to do with the Tory party unraveling?
Well yes as that's why they were voted in, they are seen as being more credible than the Tories.
They've played it very well and their well thought out strategy is to win back power, these results are brilliant, especially if replicated across the country.

Really?. When we have the most corrupt and ineptitude government in living memory? Wakefield should always gone back to Labour. Tiverton will return Tory at the next election.
Yes the timing of your post is beyond moronic which isn't surprising.
Just because you want the Tories to win the next General Election doesn't mean that they will. You should remove your head from the sand and stop doing guesswork based on your own baby brained desires.

Just the typical Labour 'heads in the sand ' attitude that has kept it from a General Election victory since 2005? A shameful 17 years going on at least 18.
You're talking about heads in the sand whilst arguing Labour can't win an election with Starmer on a thread when they've just overturned a seat and LD has also taken one from the Tories. If these numbers were to continue which is possible then they'd be in power after the next GE.
Your argument is silly and posted at an idiotic time.

Glad to see the idea that this was "baked in" as being resoundingly nonsense. It never was, this was always going to happen if they lost so badly.
Should be an exciting week ahead

Indeed. To have any chance of winning the next GE, Labour need to dump Sir "establishment" Starmer.

I used to have asthma and hay-fever but I don't any more.
I'm not 100% certain but I think I may have smoked them out my system.

The Kenobi/Vader confrontations have really been the glue that has held the series together. Sure there was a lot of shite in those 6 episodes, but the pay off has been worth it.
Not fussed about another series as it's unlikely to have Vader, Luke or Leia in it as that would surely blow massive plot holes in ANH.
This is it for me.
Some of the breakdowns and apparant plot holes that annoy people are hilarious to me.
It's Star Wars ffs. It's always been filled with plot holes and it's always just been a casual goodies vs baddies repetitive yet epic style. I really don't know what some people were expecting.
The canon/lore demons are the worst, as can be seen on this thread during the announcement of the series where one poster was saying they were looking forward to Obi Wan vs Vader and you had other people trying to argue this was impossible as it didn't add up in their personal little lore bubble... now we've had it and they've moved on to the next one.

I think it's more likely your colleague is a hypochondriac and attention seeking which makes your normal behaviour and immune system seem impressive, it's not, they're just morons.
I used to have someone like this at one of my previous jobs, every second week they were off to the hospital for scans or tests despite not being ill, the whole office would have a cold and they'd have a different virus, a mild cough would be a throat infection.
Imagine being that boring your biggest personality trait is feigning being sick for attention...

I wheeled up the fight scene like 50 times.
Last 4 episodes have been superb. Don't really see how they could do another series.

He has been doing very well and been quite impressive. Was perhaps quite needlessly hostile to Jenny Chapman on Politics Live. You can tell he loves the argument because he lowkey tried to create one out of nowhere with her then quickly gave up and said he'd prefer Keir to the shower we have right now.
The Kay Burley one was one of the best political interviews I've seen in a long time.

I wasn’t privy to the discussions but AFAIK she basically told her parents she was a girl. She’s given herself a girl’s name (I don’t know her deadname and nor would I ever ask) she’s dressed and presented as a girl for her entire time at school (3 years now). I’m not sure that my kid has any countenance that she was assigned male at birth.
I can’t imagine it was just a case of ‘mum, dad, I’m a girl’ and it was a fair bit harder than that - they’re really sound people, been out with them socially a few times - but if it was a phase or a bit, then she’s *fucking* committed to it, so I’m pretty confident she is indeed trans.
Cheers for the answer. As I said before as someone without kids it's very hard for me to picture or really form a valid opinion on rasing a child in such hypotheticals. My initial thought is it does seem quite young but I'm open to the fact I'm uninformed on the matter.

A lot of self snitching going on here. Similar to the "force everyone back into the office because I've got no pals" brigade we're seeing a solid squadron of "nobody answers when i phone them" outing themselves.

Polling: 2017 General Election, Council Elections and Independence

I can see the comparisons but think it's probably too easy to directly compare them.
I think it's too hard to try and work out what is likely to happen if Labour were to win the next election, they may well f**k it up and a bigger meaner Tory will come in but they may make a success of it and make serious improvements for people for a significant period of time. The Tories have the same issue as the SNP right now that they don't have a credible person to step up and continue as they were, the US comparison falls down there imo. I don't follow US politics but from what I gather this DeSantis fella is in the Trump mould whereas there's nobody really in the Boris mould. When he goes I'd imagine they'll pull back to the centre rather than doubling down. Labour can have Burnham and Nandy for the foreseeable, keep Angela around to placate the lefties but don't let her near the top job or all the good work is ruined imo.
Let's just say for discussion sake that we have a General Election before next Autumn, what do the SNP stand for and campaign about considering they're already committed to having a referendum?
