THE MANDALORIAN

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WATCH CHAPTER 1 NOW OR ELSE!

[Lock Jaw]

I did. It was ok.

[dronepool]

I have no attachment to SW besides thinking it's pretty cool after finally watching them years ago, but I love this show so far. Very cool.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I spent the first episode thinking this was about Boba Fett and was confused as to why he wasn't riding Slave I nor did he have his jetpack. Now I realize it's a story about a different Mandalorian altogether.

Eitherway it was prettycool.

[Shadow]

I cannot wait to see where they go with baby Yoda.

[ClockShot]

WATCH CHAPTER 1 NOW OR ELSE!

Pay for my membership, and maybe I will watch.

[slik]

I enjoyed it.

It felt like a western but in space. I'm not a huge Star Wars person and found it enjoyable.

[JimmyMess]

This show is fucking awesome

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Lmao this is my exact experience after episode 1.

[Lock Jaw]

Episode 2 was pretty sweet. Love the feel of the feel of this show

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I hope Werner Herzog is back soon.

[Tom Guycott]

Boba Fett - no disintegrations

The Mandalorian - DISINTEGRATE. FUCKING. EVERYONE!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That was Vader's rule not Boba Fett's rule.

[Tom Guycott]

True, but it was still funny to think about.

[Tom Guycott]

Is it odd that one of the things keeping me hooked is wondering what role ol' Billy Bitch-tits will be in when he shows up?

[Blue Demon]

Just finished the first ep....so far so good.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

chap3 today

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Really good 3rd episode

[rez]

Fell outta any sort of love for Star Wars but I might check this out over the weekend.

[Shadow]

Heavy Infantry Mando is my new favorite.

[Lock Jaw]

The worst thing about this show is ruining the eyeball door droid for me. At Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi it goes what sounds like "Aren't you a blinky?" which as a kid I was like "Hahahahaha because it is talking to R2D2, who is a blinky!"

But in this show it says the "Aren't you a blinky?" line to the Mando too, so it is no longer a "funny line that vaguely sounds like English"

[mitchables]

this is the most video game show ever and i am HERE for it

also disney knew exactly what the fuck they were doing with baby yoda. license to print money

[Lock Jaw]

Matter of time before Baby Yoda and Baby Groot team up in Disney Babies

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes.

[Tom Guycott]

Heavy Infantry Mando is my new favorite.

Felt like watching something Halo related. Also, seemed like Ride of the Valkyries should have been playing.

[terryna]

I enjoyed ithttps://juragan.club/assets/14/o.png

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty "vintage" story this week, seen it a dozen times. But, it was Star Wars so it was great.

I liked that they tried to make the AT-ST a "terrifying death machine" instead of a "joke that can be easily destroyed by teddy bears with booby traps"....... that is until it was destroyed via a booby trap. Booby trap is a funny word.

[mitchables]

have we seen at-sts self-piloting/sentient before? didn't seem like it was being driven by anyone, and the red eyes seemed to both show the cockpit was empty and symbolise that it was piloting itself/thinking about its surroundings etc (as when it decided not to take the step forward)

i mean i don't have a problem with it, i just didn't think even the first order had automated transports

great episode again though

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It wasn't automated. Mando threw a grenade to kill who was operating it in the head of the machine.

[Lock Jaw]

It could have been automated and he threw the grenade in to, you know.... blow it up from the inside.

That being said, I didn't think about it being automated at the time. Just assumed their was a pilot. No reason why it couldn't be automated, though, or piloted by a droid.

[Shadow]

The lights in the AT-ST has always been red. Cause...tactical or something. I dunno.

[Kalyx triaD]

The mech did seem unusually empty and depicted as so. It's not so spacious that we wouldn't see who's piloting it, and the red 'eyes' seemed very pronounced. But it could be just effect.

This show is the best SW thing since Clone Wars/Rebels.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Clone Wars was good? The movie sucked a dick so I never bothered.

[Lock Jaw]

Clone Wars TV show is good, yeah. Though there are some skippable episodes.... And some Jar Jar Binks-centric episodes in the early seasons too....

[Innovator]

Popped hard for the Cantina

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No Droids Allowed rule was abandoned

[rez]

it's really good. i'm like 3 in iirc

[Shadow]

5 was the weakest of the bunch.

[Innovator]

Awesome ending

[Shadow]

WHY DID IT END!?

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty sweet episode/season finale. Can't wait for the next.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That Darksaber sword he has makes him the leader of the Mandalorians. Going to be interesting.

[Kalyx triaD]

Maybe he killed the leader and took it.

I'm already hating Gideon.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm already liking him.

Should have just called him Space Fring though

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I'm already liking him.

Do it.

[Tom Guycott]

https://i.imgur.com/lr6n9bN.png

More than implied. Mando pretty well said as much.

I'm already hating Gideon.

I'm already liking him.

Should have just called him Space Fring though

I already did that IRL. I keep calling him Gideon Fring.

Given the story about how he got the role in Breaking Bad, I wonder how much if this irredeemability is scripted vs improvised?

[Tom Guycott]

No Droids Allowed rule was abandoned

I'm wondering if they'll come so something later that explores *why* the distrust.

Awesome ending

WHY DID IT END!?

Because seasons.


My favorite line is still "I WASN'T A STORMTROOPAH, WISEASS!!"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

"Let's go to Space Dunkin"

[Destor]

Proof that good star wars stories can still be written. Looking forward to seeing what not just mandalorian can do going forward but the brand as a whole.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Read High Republic era is being rumored for the next film series.

[Blue Demon]

I liked this show overall, with The Gunslinger being the only kindof weak episode. Definitely looking forward to see where they go.

[Crimson]

Liked this show more than the recent movies. Funny spot when the two troopers were going back n forth about checking on baby Yoda.

[Lock Jaw]

Rosario Dawson cast as Ahsoka Tano for Season 2

Tope suicida!! Mama Mia!!!!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Tope Suicida done by a pigman, no less.

Big fan of Tim Olyphant, so that episode had a special place in my heart. And I'm not even talking about Deadwood Olyphant--never really watched it (will rectify that one day). My love stems from Justified.

[Innovator]

Love this show

[Shadow]

So any bets on who that guy was at the end and why was he important?

Spoilers: I know who he is and frankly, kinda hope that's it for his involvement in the show.

[Innovator]

definitely Boba Fett, considering that’s the same actor who played Jango in the prequels

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, don't think they would swerve us with it being some other clone.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Why are we using spoilers tags? ffs it's the god damned mando thread. Hate people who come into a thread that'd obviously contain spoilers and lose their shit.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also, yeah--what Lock Jaw said. it'd be a needless, nonsensical swerve.

[Lock Jaw]

Baby Yoda up in here eating potential unborn babies and making it cute. She wasn't even mad at the number of her eggs disappearing because awwwwwwww look at him

[Kalyx triaD]

I imagine they're babies after being fertilized, but yeah it was kinda bizarre.

[Shadow]

The entire GFFA is bizarre when it comes to the food chain. You think you're on the top because you've got hyperdrive? Here comes the next skyscraper sized monster to remind you of your place on the dinner menu.

[Fignuts]

Spoilers: I know who he is and frankly, kinda hope that's it for his involvement in the show.

Why?

[Fignuts]

Holy shit the cyclops in the first episode was John Leguizamo

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah I had to double check when I seen the credits. Kind of a waste really. I hate deep cover cameos like that. Pointless. And Star Wars does that a lot now.

[teamXtremist]

the spiders were pretty badass, i thought the child would reach out to them like Kanan but no

[teamXtremist]

Timothy Olyphant's character is actually from the book series, apparently in the book he used mandalorian armor to retake his city like in that episode but they never said it was Boba Fett's

Bonus info his fucked up speeder was made from a podracer engine that's why it looked the way it did

[Fignuts]

the spiders were pretty badass, i thought the child would reach out to them like Kanan but no

I'm actually glad they're using that gimmick spareingly

I honestly thought he was Josh Brolin for a few minutes until I looked it up (Avengers, Deadpool). made sense in my mind.

Why you all think the real Yoda decided to live on Dagobah?

[rez]

I hope he eats a human fetus next

[Black Widow]

When is the Sasha episode so i can make it the only time i watch this?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Spoiler but I’m not blackening it because this is the Mando thread.


Apparently Bo Katan ages as slowly as Baby Yoda. Great episode this week.

[rez]

Katee Sackhoff

mmmmm

[Lock Jaw]

Nice to have an explanation as to why all the other Mandalorians we have seen before this series had no problem with taking off their helmets.

[Lock Jaw]

Now we need an explanation for why Bo Katan doesn't age for sure

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

she was always hot in a CGI way, though. So I'm happy she's not old and decrepit. Just makes no sense.

[Fignuts]

The Mando being revealed as Death Watch was a crazy swerve. So cool.

[Fignuts]

she was always hot in a CGI way, though. So I'm happy she's not old and decrepit. Just makes no sense.

Katie Sackhoff is 40, so it's not that much of a stretch.

[Lock Jaw]

I guess. The timeline of Star Wars always feels longer than it is.

[Kalyx triaD]

From New Hope to RoS the main series runs in real time, which is relatively not that long (even if we add the prequels which was just the Star Wars analog of the 60s).

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

if new hope to RoS runs in real-time, that's 40-plus years. Beyond that, Bo Katan looked to be in her late 20s during the clone wars. So, she'd be in her 60s or 70s.

EDIT

Nvm I'm an idiot. Mando happens b/w RTJ and TFA, so I GUESS the timeline works out.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'd imagine Bo Katan was in her 30s during the Clone Wars since her sister was the Dutchess or whatever, and she seemed middle aged.

[teamXtremist]

FINALLY a good episode

Took them long enough, pretty rad. As far as Ahsoka knows there’s only on Jedi left tbh

I wonder if that means Ezra is dead or not

It was cool to see Bo Katan, I knew she would appear in season 2 but not this early
She’s played by the same actress who voiced her in Clone Wars and SW Rebels , ans she looks like her because the animated version was based on said actress

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Pfft both first 2 episodes were great Xtremist. Especially the first one.

[Kalyx triaD]

S2E2 is easily the first 'bad' episode. Three ideas that could have worked apart, but smashed together.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

At first I was a little put off by ep 2 because of the frog lady. But once I got past that I though it was cool.

Wasn't the best episode but it was good.

It's one of those shows where the episodes don't need to be individual masterpieces. Sometimes the visuals and the world alone can drive the episode

But if you're overly picky then I suppose you'll find reasons to dislike certain episodes. I say this as someone who's witnessed you (Kalyx) pick Star Wars apart. The way you watch things is not the same way I do.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to sit back and eat piles of dung. But I'll look for reasons to enjoy a world that I'm invested in.

[Kalyx triaD]

On the contrary, in terms of movies and shows I'm very soft on them and let a lot of stuff slide. It's videogames where I'm a pretty hardcore critic. The recent Star Wars output in the Disney era were simply that bad. My arguments were more than reasonable in the Star Wars thread after Force Awakens dropped.

[teamXtremist]

Lol the Bosch cameo was awesome but damn he looked seriously sunburnt.

Starbuck was a nice cameo too.

[Fignuts]

Great episode

Gina Carano kicks all kinds of ass in this episode.

Guessing that lab is the early attempts to clone the emperor. That's why they need the child. It's incredible force sensitivity is needed for the cloning process. Maybe they'll get midichlorians involved.

[Lock Jaw]

They did mention blood with a high "M-Count"

[Shadow]

Mmmmmm, that was some good story progression.

Always nice to see it.

[JimmyMess]

I also assume its for the emperor. It makes me worried since we already know palpatine will be back, that the child will not survive this series.

or maybe it will.

[Kalyx triaD]

What's not happening is killing off the most popular and marketable Star Wars character in decades. But it does raise questions as to the state of Baby Yoda during events we know to have past, being that the Sequel Trilogy came and gone.

I think Palpatine already had his clone body/bodies ready to go since before RotJ, being the type of guy he is. This 'Jedi Clone' army may be Gideon's own side ambition. The series seems to deal more with Mandolorian lore than the general track of SW canon given the main character and the Dark Saber.

[rez]

Disney should just bite the bullet and have Dr. Strange fix all the bullshit they've done since buying out Lucas. (except Mandolarian and Rogue One).

[rez]

and the Animated stuff.

[Kalyx triaD]

Deleting the sequel trilogy and doing another would be bold but not impossible.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I also assume its for the emperor. It makes me worried since we already know palpatine will be back, that the child will not survive this series.

or maybe it will.

Remember also that this species ages slowly. By the time we're in this latest trilogy, he'd maybe be a what we'd see as like 10-years-old.

[Fignuts]

Dave Filoni is directing the next episode, which is pretty much hard confirmation that Ahsoka is going to be in it.

It’s also going to be a longer episode at 45 minutes.

Moff Gideon should be named Gus Frader.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Just watched it cuz I woke up super early.

Still have goosebumps. Wow.

[rez]

goddamn was that a great episode

[rez]

typical that they'd give the kid a name right before Christmas lol

[rez]

If this were a normal year they def would have had Dawson's character costumes out for Halloween. for sure

[Lock Jaw]

Damn.... great fight between Ahsoka and Spear Lady.

I was even thinking during it "they changed Ahsoka's fighting style, she isn't holding her saber backwards anymore"..... but then boom at the end of the fight she switches to her signature style and puts it to a quick end. Great beat... like Rocky learning to fight right handed, but then unleashing his natural Southpaw.


Also, Grogu, huh? Wonder what to do with all that merchandise that's out calling him "The Child" and if even an actual name will stop people from calling him Baby Yoda.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

i love the name Grogu but he'll remain baby Yoda.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also that Beskar staff was brutal. If Mando his anyone with that shit it'll look awesome. Expecting severe recoil and ragdoll physics.

[Lock Jaw]

Grogu just makes me think "Groot" + "Yogurt" right now, but maybe it will grow on me

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yoda makes me think of yogurt because that's the character that parodied him in Spaceballs.

[Lock Jaw]

GoGurt

[Fignuts]

I think that may have been my favorite episode of the show so far. The atmosphere and cinematography of this episode was incredible. And I love how they don't waste any time and jump right into Ahsoka just mercing people.

I was always excited for Ahsoka's casting from the start, and never had a problem with the voice actor not being cast. Rosario was 100% on point, and did a great job of mimicing Ahsoka's mannerisms and facial expressions from the animated show.

I wonder if the Thrawn name drop is going to lead into him showing up, or if it was just an easter egg.

[rez]

I've always had a thing for Rosario. Booker is a lucky sob

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I loved that Ashoka was essentially the Predator in her fight scenes.

[Lock Jaw]

I got Batman

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That’s what everyone is saying. So you’re probably right but I just get things stuck in my head. It was mostly due to her intimidation factor that I went to Predator.... but that also applies to Batman. Either way, as my one buddy said, she was a “force” of nature.

[teamXtremist]

Well





I’m satisfied


Filoni did it well. I hope things go the way I want, but dropping Thrawn in was good.

[teamXtremist]

[Lock Jaw]

While everyone rightfully going banana over Ahsoka... I would like to take a minute to shout out the amazing standoff between Mando and Kyle Reese.... fantastic scene as well

[Shadow]

Yeah the "Ok come on move your damn hand come on do it" stand off was great. But how the hell did the think he was gonna shot Mando down? Besker can withstand a lightsaber bro. You think a shot from a blaster is gonna do it? It ain't Stormtrooper armor.

[Fignuts]

He probably fancied himself enough of a hotshot to hit the soft bits inbetween.

He wasn't.

[Kalyx triaD]

Canon laser shottie tho. That's a first in live action.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

While everyone rightfully going banana over Ahsoka... I would like to take a minute to shout out the amazing standoff between Mando and Kyle Reese.... fantastic scene as well

Loved how the western standoff juxtaposed the Samurai battle occurring on the other side of the walls. The episode gave me all the feels. Can watch it over and over.

It felt like big-time Star Wars should. Ashoka brings that energy, especially since her character got fleshed out and she grew into a total badass.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also, the Magistrate was Bruce Lee’s goddaughter.

[Tom Guycott]

typical that they'd give the kid a name right before Christmas lol

Well, ya. How else you going to manufacture collector's items except by making all the ones that say "The Child" obsolete?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That was a one hell of an episode. I wonder if we're getting more Ahsoka in future episodes.

Also, how do we feel about Grogu?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Love Grogu.

I think Ahsoka is spinning off into her own series.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Love Grogu.

I think Ahsoka is spinning off into her own series.

That's the feeling I got when she asked about Thrawn. Here's hoping.

[rez]

I couldn't sleep so I watched the new episode. It's short but sweet :drool:

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

fucking wish they dumped all the episodes at once sometimes lol

Agreed, though, Rez. Real good ep, again. Robert Rodriguez directed it which is kind of crazy.

[rez]

Yeah, I noticed that in the credits and immediately searched his IMDB to make sure it wasn't just some director with the same name lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I think for the "big deal" of this episode (still avoiding spoilers for a bit longer), they needed a director with some gravitas.

[rez]

Yeah...this episode is one that def needs to be discussed ASAP.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Watching now. Grogu is so damn adorable.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

12 mins in and shit just hit the fan baby

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

the shit-hitting keeps coming.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

My gawd this episode is fucking glorious

I want to have sex with all the fan hitting shit

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Gina Carano stuffing her chichis into that outfit. She must need my help setting them free

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I like how we're all being very courteous right now when really I just want to talk about very prominent plot points.

Was definitely an "oh....well hot damn" type episode.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Hate that we have to wait another week for the next episode. Shit is getting so damn good. That might be my fave episode in the series. Just enough fan service, story progression and a ton of glorious action.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The Fett Man cometh.

[Kenny Powers]

The Mandalorian sounds like the gayest shit ever.

[rez]

Watch Mister Fett give Slave 1 away to Mando..

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Alright well let’s get the call rolling Rez, we’ve been considerate enough.

Do you think next ep they’ll double back to what Grogu saw in the vision on the seeing stone?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I think whoever Grogu reached will show up at the end of next week's episode. I have no idea who it could be.

[rez]

It's hard to tell. I didn't realize there were only 2 episodes left this season!

This next episode is going to revolve around Mando getting that prisoner free. Let me ponder on this for a lil bit for my speculations.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Love that Bill Burr’s name is Migs Mayfeld. Very fitting for some reason.

Also, they took special care to “put” Boba Fett “over.” He was brutal with the violence... similar to the mandalorian armorer. A way to make up for his lacklustre end in the movies. V interesting that they already turned him babyface-ish. I wonder if that’s a matter of not swimming against the tide. People want to cheer Boba and Gus Frader is enough of a dick heel to carry the baddy weight.

[rez]

ah shit. I didn't even connect the dots...half forgot the Bill Burr episode. I'm an idiot

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

There was a picture of him lol

[rez]

I hadn't slept...still haven't actually. ugh

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah I wonder if I'm not sleeping well cuz I'm so pumped for Mandalorian lol.

[Kalyx triaD]

Looks like we're getting a sequel to their Suicide Squad episode.

Boba got the on screen treatment he deserves. What a fucking bad ass. Just destroying helmets. Loved every second of it. Might be favorite one sided massacre since Darth Vader at the end of Rogue One.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'd say Ahsoka takes the cake in the one-sided massacre--heard people comparing her handiwork to Vader in Rogue 1. But Boba definitely puts in a memorable showing.

[rez]

Fett did it in the day time open world without 2 sabers, night cover, forest, and fog...just sayin

AND WITHOUT his family armor/weps for half of it.

[rez]

jfc, i know they're filling in the gaps to the last trilogy but fook..please put the brake pedal down for another season or so...let us enjoy nice things.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I love this show so much. I don't know what the plan is going forward. But color me v interested in how they try to tie this to the new trilogy if at all.

I miss Grogu

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He's so damn adorable

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I wonder if we see Djarin's handsome face again

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I think they're hinting at Din becoming less of a zealot over time.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Nitpick:

Beyond it being a plot device so that Mando couldn't save Grogu, why the hell did Boba want him to remove his jetpack? Couldn't he just put his gun down?

[wwe2222]

Nitpick:

Beyond it being a plot device so that Mando couldn't save Grogu, why the hell did Boba want him to remove his jetpack? Couldn't he just put his gun down?

I thought it was because he can shoot rockets out of it and so he wouldn’t fly away and attack when they put their weapons down?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

good explanation.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Both poignant and accurate.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The flute lmao

[Lock Jaw]

It begins!

Ahsoka spinoff announced as well as a "Rangers of the New Republic" series. Both set within the time period of Mandalorian.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm...concerned to a degree. But it's been a wild ride so far--looking forward to the Ahsoka series at least.

Wonder if Uppa from Kim's Convenience will be in that show as the rebel pilot.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'm worried about overkill, but I'm holding out hope.

Christensen coming back is bonkers.

[Lock Jaw]

A "Lando" series announced as well, time period/actor unknown yet.

As well as a Patty Jenkins' "Rogue Squadron" movie

[Lock Jaw]

Plus a series called "The Acolyte" set near the end of the High Republic era

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That's what I mean. That's a ton of Star Wars content. Ahsoka would've been fine. Kenobi too.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Disney are going to undo the goodwill created by The Mandalorian by over-saturating the market with Star Wars series.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yep. I mean I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt cuz Mando is so good. But come the fuck on.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also new ep of Mando was another banger.

There is some arguments in their favour though. This is SO MUCH over saturation that it’s almost unprecedented. The attempt here is to create converging universes in a day where people are starved for non stop content.

For instance, I know when Mando is done I’ll be like “fuccckkkk I want more Star Wars” and it’ll be nice not to rewatch clone wars, rebels, and the ot over and over to satiate the appetite (srsly fuck all other Star Wars... though I guess I could get the books but reading is for losers.)

It’s like they’re jumping the shark so much that they’re landing in another stratosphere that could make it work.

wtf is the point of a Cara Dune spin off that I heard was in the works?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Din Djarin so handsome!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I see Boba cleaned up his armor

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

It looked amazing. Like a live action action figure

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It looked really good. I liked this episode. Can't wait for the season finale next week.

Rangers of the New Republic does not necessarily star Cara Dune.... unknown who is in it/what it's about....

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching.... good episode... Feel like unmasked Din Djarin has a lot of comedic potential....

[rez]

fuck you guys.

nah, my bad. i forgot it was a new ep today...got my days and nights mixed up

[wwe2222]

I am sure series like Ashoka, Obi-Wan, Lando, Andore, etc will be limited series like 6-8 episodes. Its not like we are getting 20 episode seasons of this stuff.

I dont think it will be the overkill people think

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

It'll be interesting to see.

I think it's one of those things Star Wars fans have always wanted. It's this huge world but the movies have always been so single-minded. It'll give us a chance to exist in this vast universe.

But it could be a case of "be careful what you wish for."

[wwe2222]

I also expect not all of it will be a homerun but if the majority adds to the lore and universe, I consider that a win.

My worry is too much of a good thing will kick in. The Mandalorian is exceptional. I think having Ahsoka will be also be as much. The Kenobi series and everything else they announced just seems like a lot. I worry about there being too much Star Wars.

Out of everything feel like the Cassian Andor series has the least reason to exist. Loved Rogue One, but was anyone really clamoring for this?

Only way I see it being good is exploring a bit more the seedy underbelly of the Rebellion.... very interested to know if Mon Mothma knew about it or not, or if Cassian's boss in Rogue One was just telling him to do shady stuff behind Mon Mothma's back....

Every time I finished an episode I wanna throw my remote in frustration when I realize there aren’t any new episodes to watch.

Every time I finished an episode I wanna throw my remote in frustration when I realize there aren’t any new episodes to watch.

This is why I get pissed when people are hypercritical of the show.

Don't get me wrong, if you don't dig the show, you don't dig the show. But the hyper nitpickery is so shortsighted. I'm watching this shit and feeling like a kid again. And they aren't just barraging us with fan service. No doubt, it's sprinkled in, but generally quite artfully.

Is the show perfect? Absolutely not. Should we celebrate the triumphs instead of criticizing some flaws that pop up now and again? Fucking right we should.

Star Wars at its best is a "feel." It's excitement about potential and possibilities.

I've been a big fan of this thread. Every so often for banter we'll throw in a nitpick. But I love that we're all on the same page and fistpumping together.

This is the MFKN way.

Also, I'm high as hell, and vibing hard on Mando.

[Shadow]

Man it's too bad anyone who sees the Mando's face ends up dead. Really weird curse he's got going for him too.

I think the Force likes him or something.

[rez]

why don't you marry him or sometin, Shadow

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Mayfeld saw Mando's face and he's alive.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Now that he is more solidified in the Star Wars universe, do we still call him "Bill Burr's character" or "Mayfeld" during his appearances?

[Shadow]

Mayfeld saw Mando's face and he's alive.

No he's not. He died in the refinery explosion remember?

[Lock Jaw]

Never called him the first thing so I guess the second.

It's def her show.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[Innovator]

God damn

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

So i next Mandalorian season just gonna be the Book of Boba Fett? I'm a little confused.

[rez]

RIP Jeremy Bulloch. The OG Boba Fett actor. 75 years young.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Rezzy, you'll feel better about this loss after the episode.

[rez]

I still need to watch last week's ep

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

:rant:

[rez]

blame Cyberpunk!

I'll try to watch this evening.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Can you sell me on CyberPunk? I don't think I even knew it existed until yesterday.

[rez]

It's pretty much love it or hate it. From what I've read, I wouldn't recommend getting it for PS4.

There's a lot of boobies and cussing?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I FUCKING KNEW IT

[Damian Rey 2.0]

What a fucking episode. My goodness. I don't know where they go from here. Maybe Dale is right and it shifts gears towards Boba.

Damn emotional ending.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

This felt star wars, and that makes me happy.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Was thinking the same thing when the team breached the bridge

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Wonder what happens next with Grogu

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I just don't even know, Damien. I don't know. Not ready to talk about it. Need to cry more.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

HOLY FUCK I INITIALLY MISSED THE POST CREDITS SCENE! OMFG ALL HAIL BOBA THE FETT BAYBAY!

[rez]

I'm on the last ep now. I'll join in the discussion soon!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

What's Mando to do in S3 now? Chill with Bo-Katan to retake their planet? Will they fight to the death?

Bo had Banks with her but where was the dude? Did he die and I not recall?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The clan Kryze I think is probably still more than just those 3. Bo probably rolls with whomever at a given time.

[Lock Jaw]

Yesssssss finally we get to see a post-RotJ Luke Skywalker at his "peak" taking out platoons of Terminators with ease

lol at Bib Fortuna taking over from Jabba and becoming morbidly obese

[Lock Jaw]

Q: Why is it that suddenly you have to fight someone to truly earn the Darksaber? Last time Bo Katan got it she was just given it by Sabine

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Because Bo keeps getting it but not through combat (took it from Maul and given to her by Sabine) then losing it. I think it’s driven by religion... I’m guessing it’s now confirmed for her that not earning it through combat is a bad omen, as proven by her own experiences.
