Watching the first episode of "Ahsoka," I kept wishing George Lucas had been around during filming to provide the same direction he, as "Star Wars" legend has it, gave the cast of "A New Hope": "Faster, more intense." It's advice that Lucas's real-life Padawan, Lucasfilm Animation head honcho and "Ahsoka" showrunner Dave Filoni, could stand to take to heart.
Filoni comes from the world of animation, having gotten his start as a storyboard artist on "King of the Hill" prior to working with Lucas on the animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." Animation, by its very nature, necessitates economic storytelling. It's much more expensive than live-action, so every shot has to maximize its ability to advance the narrative. You can tell Filoni enjoyed the extra leeway afforded by his initial excursion into live-action as a writer, director, and executive producer on "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett.

Hello, dear readers! For the last several years, we here at Daily Dead spend a few weeks celebrating the anniversaries of a batch of films from a particular year, and for 2020, we’ve decided to head back to the year 1980 to commemorate the 40th birthday for all the great horror and sci-fi movies that were released back then.
For those of you who may be looking to get into the spirit, I’ve gone ahead and put together this list of films from 1980 that are currently streaming on a variety of platforms, both free and ones that require a subscription. You’ll definitely see upcoming features and discussions of many of these titles, so hopefully this list will help you catch up on the movies you haven’t seen yet (or maybe haven’t seen in a while).
Be sure to check back starting next Monday for all of our Class of 1980 coverage,...
