Man did someone just completely loose their Shit and bludgeon someone to death with a deactivated lightsaber? I ask due to the poster design.
Proudly presented by the personal assistant (former) of Harvey Weinstein.
I'm hoping for another good series here like Andor.
Looks like the lightsaber was used for ass play and slid across the sidewalk. WTF is this?
Given what we know about the show, I think its going to be the usual woke dumpster fire.
Holy crap that poster showing the actors is picture perfect textbook DE&I. The only things they are missing are Asian female and Middle Eastern ethnicity I think to have a full Bingo card.
