    Re: Disney+

    Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up watching the original trilogy first; then the prequel trilogy; and finally, the episodes 7 and 8 (on Netflix). I hadn't seen a single Star Wars movie before last week and now I have run through all the main entries. I knew the broad strokes just from pop culture and Family Guy and stuff, but it was enjoyable. I think I enjoyed the prequels the most. I found them to be the most layered. I know why the originals spawned such a cult following. The last two were fine but I felt it lacked the character development of the others. It felt bland and by the numbers and unbalanced. I enjoyed them, though. I'll be checking out the Mandelorian now.

      Actual machete order skips The Phantom Menace and shouldn't be done because 1) Darth Maul is awesome and 2) it's unnecessary. If they try to deprive you of Duel of the Fates, they can't be trusted.

      When you say the prequels are more layered, what do you mean?

        Noticed on the top of the homepage it has added the Home Alone movies. I didn't know they were Disney?

          They’re part of 21st Century Fox movies/shows that Disney acquired earlier this year or last year. You’ll also notice The Simpsons as the other big one. Potentially be able to get King of the Hill, Futurama etc later down the line too.

            From what I read and understood at the time, Machete Order lists it as optional. I don't know why.

            The pod race scene was HT excellence, too.

              The prequels went into the politics of how got to where we were in the original. Without getting into spoilers, I understand the why of the ideology of the Empire. Honestly, I thought of parallels to the world today. The originals didn't have that kind if depth to me. And like I said, I knew some of the Star Wars universe already so I wasnt really shocked by anything.

                Seeing Episode I - III before VI allowed me to:

                As far as Rogue One, I don't know if it's because of the "downgrade" that you get in visuals and effect going from R1 to IV (especially the Vader corridor scene to Vader vs. Obi Wan) or the prequel effect of seeing Leia at the end after having seen Episode IV, but I don't know if I like seeing that one first as much. I feel like Rogue One should just be watched at any point after Episode VII. I like getting Rey as our first female lead, and then you can go to Jyn thereafter.

                Oh, and unless they continue that Solo timeline, **** that one. I doubt it's on Disney+ right now anyway for contractual reasons.

                  Having The Sandlot is a big plus for me. One of my all time faves.

                    Just saw Togo got a new poster and just saw that the mandalorian 7th episode is coming out on Wednesday the 18th instead of the 20th. I guess they figured it was better to have it not be the same night has opening night of Rise of skywalker.

                          You have never seen the animated movie Balto from 1995? It was based of the same store. I had not heard of Togo before this but both Balto and Togo are from the same event that happened. Its basically about sled dogs that are trying to take some medicine threw a storm 600 miles to save people. Its a cool true story and i love dogs and wolves so yeah i am pretty excited about this.

                            Disney+ does not approve of a lot of VPN services. Heh.

                            Been knocking out some watches (or rewatched) of the Star Wars saga. Caught Ep 8 for first time, then went backwards to Rogue One for first time, decided to continue on to Ep 4 (rewatch) and getting in to Ep 5. In my “old age” I usually take multiple sittings to watch movies. Big subtitle guy too, when I’m watching by myself at least. Gotta catch all those lines.

                            My son digs Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and started him on some Duck Tales. One of the animated Spider-Man series had a bit too much gunplay for his age so we discontinued that viewing. Ha

                            A good bit of Christmas movies for the season too.

                            Worth the $7/month so far.

                                ExpressVPN works for me when I connect to Australia, they got all the US ip's locked down.

                                I'm sure if you connect to a European country it'll work too but never tried since Australia is closer to me.
