me: Listen, I don’t care about the cameos of this episode, yeah, it’s neat that they brought back Brendol Hux and boy did the actor nail a voice that sounds like Hux’s accent and brought Gilad Pellaeon into live action, but I’m mad about the lack of Rae Sloane and--
The Mandalorian: Hey.
me:
me: Okay, that’s not as wild as the last three weeks, but oh my GODDDD, they really got Domnhall Gleeson’s brother to play his character’s father, that’s pretty fucking funny.
While watching the first season of the Mandalorian I was thinking how cool it would be if we saw a bit of the raise of the First Order, since it’s set in the same period.
I thought it would have been improbable though, since they like to pretend the sequel trilogy doesn’t exist.
And now, NOT ONLY we get the First Order, but we get BRENDOL HUX and he’s BRIAN GLEESON, I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING
Why the fuck did they make Brendol Hux so attractive?! I’m now conflicted !
I wheezed over this because, right??
So I’ve always said Brendan Gleeson would have made the perfect Brendol Hux, with the commanding voice, he’s able to reduce you to tears with just a look, the way he carries himself—the man would have been perfect.
But Brian Gleeson…he sounds exactly like Domhnall doing that British Imperial accent and honestly, I’m here for it.
Brendol is not a nice man and I have been in my villain era for a while but…like you I am conflicted. I have hated him for a long time over Armitage and the things that happened but then, they chose Domhnall’s younger brother to play him and I’m 👀
I am excited the Huxes are finally getting more screen time! And the Shadow Council!!
