Star Wars chronological



I read Shakespeare chronology, based on the Wikipedia best guesses.

Not by producing but in the time line of Star Wars, this is the list they give on Disney+ with the insertion of Tales of the Jedi before Clone Wars because Asoka is a baby:

Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
(Tales of the Jedi)
Clone Wars
Revenge of Sith
Bad Batch
Solo
Obi-wan Kenobi
Star Wars Rebels
Andor
Rogue One
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Mandalorian
Boba Fett
Star Wars Resistance
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
The Rise of Skywalker


Shorts: Visions.
Miscellaneous Vintage videos including Holiday Special 1978.



My sons like 1, 2 and 3. I was 10 in 1977 for the first one (IV). I’ve watched many of these many times. Haven’t watched all the animated ones all the way through, in order.

So watching 1 & 2 are not that great after many watchings. I do love Natalie Portman as an actress. I hear Abed trying to get people to not watch these movies, he's a character in Community. My son is a bit like that, except he liked those movies. My younger son was Obi-wan and my eldest was Anakin. He even had a rat tail for a little while. and he was I asked him what he would do if he won the lottery and he said he would make the movies the right way, so someone else didn't ruin them. He likes Spiderman and the Marvel Universe. I think it's cool to feel mythology and aesthetics so strongly. To have strong opinions about art. I'm not sure if Rick, from Rick and Morty, is a mouthpiece for Dan Harmon, who also puts the ideas into Community, but they note that some youths have very strong opinions about franchise choices. I think it's cool.

Animation series feels like they're made for kids, but then there are bits that aren't. The issue of struggling to be heard, and whatnot for kids is present. It seems a lot about war. It is called Clone Wars. A nice friendly children’s war cartoon. The stories always have a didactic element.

Season 1, Episode 13 "Jedi Crash" is one I remember because I thought a lot about fighting for peace, and refusing to fight for peace. Shortly after this episode I just can't go on. Not for me. I skip ahead, I think I've not seen the second Mandalorian season and when I realize I've already seen it, I just watch it anyway. Now back to Revenge of the Sith. It's on in the background when I'm playing chess, I'm not watching it intensely. I'm trying to read Gravity's Rainbow, so I'm moving away from it as a background filler.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
