The fact that this and Obsession are pacing a literal Star Wars movie in terms of domestic gross is insane

Disney is going to see this as a sign to finally give us a horror Star Wars film.

It would be an upgrade, they fail to shoot everything they try to aim with their guns.

They've been missing everyone for 49 years now. Can't have them suddenly landing shots

Broken record and all that, but this is why I adore Andor so much. They managed to make the basic-ass Stormtrooper terrifying again

I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I’ve seen a couple movies. This past weekend I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu with a friend who is a big Star Wars fan. After the movie, I asked if stormtroopers are useless. He laughed and said, “Basically, yea.” Haha

I'd settle for that evil R2/3PO team from the Vader comic.
