General Star Wars question: I believe that you’ve stated that Rogue One is your favorite Star Wars movie, which I think is cool as it’s tied with The Rise of Skywalker for being my favorite of the newest Star Wars films thus far. It’s made me curious though, what would you say is your favorite film of the original trilogy, and why? Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: How would you compare Anakin and Ahsoka's master and apprentice relationship to Ahsoka’s relationship and interactions with Plo Koon? Question 2: The relationship between Obi-Wan and Satine is particularly interesting because not only does it shed some light on Obi-Wan's past, which we still don’t know too much about, but it also showcases that despite his claims to the contrary, his control over his emotions and not forming attachments isn’t as strong as he says, to the point Anakin is, for once, advising caution about letting personal feelings interfering with the mission. Hell, the first time I saw these episodes I was stunned and said something to the effect of, “Well, well, well. Obi-Wan Kenobi is human, after all.” So, the questions are one: I assume in the future you want to see the show delve more into Obi-Wan and Satine’s relationship, and two: In your opinion, do you think it could prove dangerous for Obi-Wan, not necessarily that he has these emotions but that he tries to deny that they exist? Question 3: Something that’s never brought up in the series due to it’s a “kids show” is that the Jedi code is fuzzy on the topic of celibacy. Like how Samwell Tarly describes the Night’s Watch on Game of Thrones, there are very clear rules saying that Jedi cannot marry or have kids. Nowhere does it ever specifically say that the Jedi can’t have sex and/or that they must be completely celibate. What thoughts, if any do you have on how the Jedi, by and large are celibate even though there’s no rule as such saying that they have to be? Also, do you have any thoughts on how considering that the Jedi deal in the absolute of no attachments, wouldn’t conceivably the Jedi not being very clear on the rules lead to the possibility of attachments being formed due to any Jedi deciding to have casual flings. Just in general, what say you on the matter? Question 4: Four-part question regarding Boba Fett. One: What's been your overall opinion, thus far on the insights into Boba’s character in The Clone Wars? Second: The focus on R2 in the middle of the arc notwithstanding, the three episode arc was very villain centric. Is this something you’d like to see more of in the future? Thirdly: In The Mandalorian, do you think that part of why Boba and Fennec decided to help Mando rescue Grogu was at least in part because Boba strongly empathized with Mando’s father and son relationship with Grogu as well as the fact that it probably reminded Boba of his own relationship with his father, Jango? Fourthly: I honestly think that the Jedi should have let Anakin talk to Boba, because between how Anakin lost his mother Shmi and how when he had his revenge against the sand people, all it did was bring him more trauma and pain, I feel like Anakin would be able to empathize with Boba in a way that the rest of the Jedi could not. Do you think that Anakin would have had success in helping Boba with his anger and pain, or do you think that it would have made no difference? What If...?: Question 1: Do you have any further thoughts or comments on the madness and absurdity of Darcy marrying Howard the Duck? Question 2: Any thoughts or comments about how Marvel really seems to like killing Iron Man lately, more specifically, do you think his repeated deaths are because perhaps the death of Iron Man at a relatively young age (if I have the math right, he’s about fifty-three by the time of his death in Endgame) is an absolute point in time that is supposed to happen regardless of the timeline? Question 3: I’ve been quite surprised by how a number of episodes have been dark, downbeat, and/or have the villains be triumphant with their goals. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. Has this been particularly surprising to you as well, and how much would you say you’ve enjoyed this aspect of the show? Question 4: Any thoughts or comments about the parallels between how Vision was consumed by grief for Wanda compared to Wanda’s grief for Vision in the Sacred Timeline? Related to that, do you think that Vision could have at least set up a tv and piped in TVland, Me-TV, or Nick @ Nite for Zombie Wanda to watch? Question 5: Much as I love the final shot of Zombie Thanos with five of the six Infinity Stones, it begs the question of how he got the Time Stone because Strange never goes to Titan and Squidward and, uh, big Thanos henchman whose name escapes me are killed, zombified, and killed again before they could get the stone to Thanos. There’s also the question of why Thanos went to Wakanda seeing as Vision and the Mind Stone were nowhere near Wakanda. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on the matter, or is it like I said last month, I’m overanalyzing instead of not worrying about these sorts of things rather than just enjoying the show? Question 6: Someone at work pointed out that Killmonger states his father, N'Jobu was killed by gang violence and that he doesn’t seem to hold any specific grudge against King T’Chaka. Which makes me wonder if there was a divergence in the timeline as to the precise manner in which Killmonger’s father is killed, particularly as it would explain why he wasn’t as hungry for revenge as well as why he was as sharp as he was with his plotting and scheming. That’s not to say his plots and schemes were bad in Black Panther, more that in the What If...? episode, like I commented before he was almost Palpatine level good with his plots and schemes. Do you feel that it is possible that the timeline diverged regarding Killmonger’s father and that it caused the slight change in Killmonger’s goals and how he achieved them? Question 7: I was intrigued by the idea of Dr. Zola having multiple copies of his consciousness across the globe. As I understand it, nothing in the Sacred Timeline outright contradicts this idea. Do you think this idea could apply in the Sacred Timeline and do you think this could mean we will see Dr. Zola again in future MCU works? Joker: Much like Heath Ledger’s Joker, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker has been, shall we say worshiped by some, not all, mind you, but some very loud fans that have modeled their life and/or aspired to be like one or both of these versions of the Joker which has been disturbing to me over the years. Now, I say that and all the characters in my list of top ten favorite characters of all time are villains, half are Sith Lords, so who the hell am I to judge anybody? Going back to Joker, in your post episode comments, you say that rather than feeling that Arthur’s final scene is a triumphant moment, you felt that it’s a very concerning scene and that he really needs professional help. My question, therefore, is do you have any specific thoughts or comments as to how both of these portrayals of the Joker have been romanticized and revered to the extent that they have by a certain subset of fans?
