I enjoyed it both times I saw it in theaters and the one time I saw it on Netflix. Upon the third viewing some inexplicable weaknesses we're more obvious but on the whole I still like it. I especially like that the door seems to be pretty wide open as to what could happen in ep ix, though I am concerned that some of the backlash to tlj and jj's leading role may lead to a less "new ground" ending. Though in any case I'll see it multiple times and probably enjoy it thoroughly.

if jj ends it the way he ended lost i ain't goan be too happy.

... but he had nothing to do with how Lost ended.

Keep your expectations low. It’s most likely to be a flawed special effects bonanza, like the last two.

There sure are a lot of TIEs and TIE Advanced in that top cut, for ships I have on good authority are bad 🤔

Dang it. Now I'll have people attacking me for net listing even THAT.

Fine. 5 Y-Wings with Advanced Proton Torpedoes. Done. Oh dang it, those torps aren't hyperspace friendly...

The four TIE X1 list is certainly a nice one to see

It's not true! That's impossible!!

MOV is terrible, but the wins are what counts. I think Ed there must have played very well because so much can go wrong with that list.

Wave four! I'm ready for Afterburners APTs /x1s and Leia B-Wings, are you, America?

It's cute and I like it.

Also, the just-updated Intimidation Kath list. Realer than anticipated?

We briefly chat about this on the next 186th podcast episode. I think its main strength is that no one initially knows what the **** it quite does. Also, the player who ran it, is a proper jank-master type who can win with crazy stuff.

These recent Hyperspace Trial Listfortress results are amazing.

I agree. Seems like a lot of "bring what you want" type outcomes.

Can someone throw the link for metawing 2.0 here? thx

They also look very "geography" or local meta specific.

So, I super agree. I also suspect we're seeing the effects of actual "regional" metas, as there hasn't been widespread talk about "what's good."

We may still see convergence as the weeks progress, but yeah... looks fun.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Vader is a beast in HS because he can bully pretty much every other pilot save for Poe and Fenn (and other Vader's). Even Wedge isn't that scary in my experience.

Yeah, this really seems to be happening. There are a lot of "salad" lists for all factions doing well, but some areas seem to prefer different types of "salad".

He's on our team, he said that all his opponents saw the Tie x1's, remembered that the internet had told them how bad they were, set up for the joust, and then cried when he critted them to death with Direct hits from Maarek

I figured it would be a critical death. Even those Tempests become threats once they close range so they can grab a lock. Still has to play very well, I don't think any of his matches should have been "EZ Mode" as it were, unless an opponent totally just screwed up.

They'd be a lot more interesting with full swiss listst! What's winning is nearly useless information if we don't also have what's losing!
