This is about as clear a look behind the curtain as you’ll ever get. It’s one step away from me Instagramming pictures of my dog.
That said, Galley Friend Brad Jackson has been telling me how great Clone Wars is for two years. And it turns out he’s right. If you’re ranking filmed Star Wars product, the list goes:
Empire > New Hope > Clone Wars > Force Awakens > everything else
And Barbie: Life in the Dream House is oddly compelling. It’s almost Lynchian in the way it plays with the idea that the characters aren’t people, but toy dolls. One of the great running gags is that things on the walls of flat surfaces–say, a picture hanging, or a TV mounted on a wall–are really just stickers. Except that the stickers become functional items. Seriously: The producers of this show are awfully creative/subversive.
Speaking of which: Ken is totally gay. How gay? He’s an inventor. His prize invention is a robot named “Closet.”

Awesome. If you like that grapefruit beer, go out and buy some New Belgium Citradelic Tangerine IPA. Good stuff.

I was surprised at how much I liked “Clone Wars” as well — I wonder if the new cartoon, “Rebels” is any good?
Meanwhile, I don’t understand the connection between everything you wrote in this post and the link to that grapefruit beer — what am I missing?
