When it comes to many of these Star Wars spinoffs (or any spinoff for that matter - like the Picard spinoff), it often feels like these shows are written as a way to capitalize on the popularity of movie or TV characters but are written as a screenplay in search of a plot 2022-01-21T15:37:38Z Comment by (((SOUNDWAVE))) Good friday for synth 2022-01-21T15:29:20Z Comment by Cenotaff Digging this track, something a little bit different. Good work. 2022-01-21T10:29:51Z
