I came across a review of Rebecca earlier:
Netflix has released a new film version of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca ... It's dreadful! Don't watch it, unless you're in the mood for a really bad movie. Though even as a bad movie, this new Rebecca doesn't do much to entertain. Its choices aren't weird or amusingly bad so much as perfunctory. It does the things that a sumptuous period/literary adaptation is supposed to do to "improve" on a stone cold classic in a way that feels almost insulting, as if the only reason for its existence is that a Netflix executive slapped their hand on a conference table and exclaimed "dammit! No millennial is going to watch a black and white movie from 1940! We've got make it in color, sexier, and more woke!" ... Reader, it is none of those things (well, I suppose it is in color).
As was suggested, it's bad.
Baby Yoda is the hero we need right now.
I didn't watch the Mandalorian, so everything I know about it is from social media, and I clearly don't know much, because I'm confused about one big thing: is baby Yoda in the Mandalorian the same Yoda from the movies, who trained Luke Skywalker, etc? Or just a different character, same species? And if it's a different character, why in the hell doesn't it have a different name?
It's a different character, and officially its name is The Child. Baby Yoda is the fan nickname.
It does have a different name! Man, it turns out that getting all my (extremely limited) information from social media isn't as foolproof as I thought it was!

Wait, WHAT??!!!! Next you'll be saying my compulsive doomscrolling is a terrible way to read the news...
Don't be ridiculous, Steph. Everyone knows the True Name is Baby Yoda even if no one in universe knows that.
I have actually caught up with the Mandalorian and am ready to start in on Season 2! Not like Clone Wars which I keep looking at and despairing of figuring out where I left off or if I remember anything from what I did see.
Baby Yoda is the red panda of the SW universe.
I watched the new episode of The Mandalorian and I have some questions...some of which I guess I should have had last season.
I watched it, too.
