Re-watched the whole series this weekend while the wife was at a swim meet with our oldest and it's still so good. Really hoping for at least another season or two.Quote:

They made it more in line with the one that started it all, A New Hope. From the prisoners outfits to the screens and tech, they just got so much right.Quote:

So, season 2 ended with Grogu going with Luke Skywalker. How is Grogu back with the Mandalorian at the start of season 3??
Also, did he lose the Dark Saber or something?? Season 2 also ended with that in his possession. I'm so confused
Interesting way to explain Gina Carano's character our of the show too. "She got recruited by the special forces" ummm OK :rolleyes2
Tell me you didn't watch Book of Boba Fett without telling me you didn't watch it.Quote:

Weren't you around in the thread back then when we all agreed that Boba Fett was Mando season 2.5? The back half of Book of Boba season 1 was saved by Mando showing up and making it a better show.Quote:

and VERY happy to hear that about the 2nd half of the season, I watched the first two episodes and was thinking man, Boba Fett is no Mandalorian (or Andor even). The actor (Boba) kinda sucks IMO. Hes not even in the same talent universe as Pedro Pascal.
mando s3e1: enjoyable but no Andor.
Haven't watched it yet, but yeah. Andor has set a seriously high bar. I find myself having to compartmentalize the different shows and can appreciate them for what they are. Boba was just kind of silly fun for me. Not to be taken too seriously. Through that lens, it's much more enjoyable.Quote:

An npr reviewer is calling it “table setting disease,” which seems like a accurate name.
For those who haven’t seen E1 yet, consider waiting for e2 to be available and watch both back to back. Hopefully, this is the way.
Planning on watching it tonight. Keep in mind, Andor was no picnic for the younger crowd as it was just a hard, heavy drama with spurts of action. My kids bailed out by episode 3.Quote:

Danny Trejo shows up as a Rancor handler??? (who, it turns out, are actually very sweet and kind loving creatures most of the time! :rolleyes2). Don't even get me started on the fucking teenage gang riding around on day-glo rainbow Vespa scooter-bikes. OMG I just can't. I don't even think I can make it another episode to see what happens with Mando & Grogu.
Skip to the last 3.
This is the way.
I need to start more sentences with “The songs of eons past foretold…”.
While those dorky Vespa scooters were lame, you didn't like Danny Trejo's little role? Haha.Quote:

Think of it more like a Star Wars related comic book if you will. Don't take it seriously and perhaps pair with a triple size bourbon drink, and you just might have a good time. Sure, check your brain at the door and treat it like a classic 80s B movie.
If it helps your recalibration, remember. Robert Rodriguez was one of the directors (thus the Danny Trejo part), along with Steph Green, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Kevin Tancharoen. That batch of directors has all sorts of fun cheesy goodness in their filmographies between the lot of them.
I think the problem with BoBF was that it was set up to be more serious, and that's what people were expecting, but it ended up being anything but. I was kind of confused the first couple episodes as it seemed just so... off, BUT when I looked up the production side of things I was like "Ohhhhhhh, NOW it makes sense." Helped me to actually really end up enjoying it. Inebriated, yes, but still. I had fun with it. :D
Yeah, that was cool but at what point do you start sounding like one of the obsessed Trekkie’s that talk to to each other in Klingon? You gotta be careful.Quote:

HA! That's perfect. Indeed. Calibrate to this and it all makes more sense somehow. LMAO.Quote:

Thoughts so far? We’re two episodes in and I don’t really have a sense of what season 3 is gonna be about.
Personally, I'm digging it. I thought episode 2 was great. My guess is Din and Grogu tame the Mythosaur and unite the warring factions this season.
Did y’all think Din and Bokatan were gonna bathe together?!
Season 3 will be about Grogu becoming a Mandalorian while Din Djarin wrestles with what that title really means. After much bickering they will unite the Mando factions to fight some post-Empire baddie with Grogu taking up the Dark saber and riding a dinosaur in the last minutes of the last episode to save everyone. At this moment it will become clear that "The" Mandalorian is Grogu, not Din Djarin.
Just watched #3 and I’m somewhat intrigued. Bo’s character is developing in an interesting way
How come y'all didn't tell me how fucking good Andor was????
I was trying to watch with my kiddo but she kept deferring until finally I decided I was watching on my own. Binged all 12 episodes over a week or two. Fuck that was good.
Will now start on Mandalorian S3, just need to know if my daughter is in or out.
I think Andor is the best thing to come out of the Star Wars universe in a long long time
But Andor didn’t have bo and din bathing together…
This is the way!!!
Mandalorian is total fan service.
I am a fan since1977 and that Pirate episode serviced me in so many ways.
My 9 yo is a huge fan, knows more than me these days with clone wars, books, etc. and he was totally serviced.
If you aren't watching Bad Batch, I will recommend it again.
Andor was rad for me but a bit slow for kid.
Teams of Mandalorians whupping some Pirate ass cuz Lando asked them too?
That's everybody's speed.
3 episodes left. I get the feeling that this season was written by committee - like Grogu wasn’t supposed to be here but an exec at Disney was like “hold on. Baby Yoda is cute. You gotta bring him back” and another one said “But Moff Gideon is the bad guy. You can’t get rid of the bad guy.” And “hey hold on. Katie Sackoff is kinda hot. She can’t be a bad guy.” I’m still enjoying the show and all- just a little baffled by some of the choices they made.
i’m pretty into the BTS mando culture scenes this season. bo goes both ways!
Just watched this week's episode. Was a really fun one indeed.Quote:
