The execution has been amazing. At no point have been turned by some of the holy crap that have soured me on some of the other Star Wars serious. The characters feel real and kinda lived in and grounded. Bix may also be the hottest character I've seen in the Star Wars universe, and that includes metal bikini Leia. Gotta say, some of the plot points may hit a little close to home today.

Im partial to Dedra.

I agree that its an interesting look at the nuts and bolts of the empire. Too much Jedi stuff last few years, I agree. Did like Obi-wan and Skeleton Crew though.

Did you guys watch Acolyte? I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure why it got so many haters. Then again, I love anything Star Wars

I thought it decent. Some of the best fight choreography I've seen in a Star Wars product. The ending, especially with the dude from Squid Games, didn't seem fleshed out.

I agree 100! And I hate to say this cause Ellie is supposed to be a kid on the show but Bella Ramsey is difficult to look at and her acting sucks. Like you say, she doesn't come across as a sympathetic character and she's not attractive at all.

A Chinese paraglider who was accidentally propelled more than 8,000 metres high by an updraft has been banned from the activity for six months after a video of his ordeal went viral.

Peng Yujiang began from an elevation of about 3,000m in the Qilian mountain range in northern China, where he intended to test a new second-hand equipment purchase without making a proper flight, according to an investigative report by the Gansu Provincial Aviation Sports Association.

However about 20 minutes into his practice he was caught in a strong updraft, which sent him soaring more than 5,000m higher, in line with flight paths and nearly the height of Mount Everest.

Video from Peng’s mounted camera showed him above the clouds and covered in icicles as the temperature dropped to a reported -35C, as he tried to control his equipment.

In a video filmed shortly after landing, Peng recounted the experience.

“My hands were frozen outside. I kept trying to talk on the radio,” he said.

Authorities praised Peng’s survival, conceding it was an accident. A “normal person cannot be exposed at 8,000m without oxygen [so] this is not something that can be done voluntarily” said a sports bureau official, according to Sixth Tone.

But Peng, who has about five years’ experience paragliding, never intended to leave ground level and so had not registered any flight plans, meaning his ordeal was “not subject to relevant approvals”, the report said. In response he was banned from flying for six months.

The bureau report, based on an interview with Peng, said he was in the air for more than an hour, and had stayed in radio contact with his friend, Gu Zhimin, who was still on the ground.

The report said he had attempted to descend but his efforts were “ineffective”, and as he flew higher he became confused and briefly lost consciousness.

Peng was eventually able to land about 30km from the launch site, where he was met by Gu and another friend.

Sydney Sweeney is appealing to her more rabid fan base with the release of a new soap product containing her actual bath water.

The Euphoria actor is one of the most sexualized stars in Hollywood and often faces unsolicited comments about her body from fans — some of whom have even expressed their desire to consume her bath water.

“When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,” Sweeney said in a press release announcing her new “Bathwater Bliss” soap.

So... Where do I order this?

Martin bought out the entire stock, and is trying to sculpt a Sydney Sweeney statue made out of her soap.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that?
