The Mandalorian & other Star Wars series
I've only read positives on Mandalorian. It's probably the best series I've watched in recent years and glad s2 (so far) is even better than s1. A good balance of action, writing & funny dialogue, special effects, and personal interaction between Mando and baby Yoda (who has great facial expressions).
Still wondering if/how the Mandalorian eat (probably don't) and drink (have to, right?) in public though. Quote:

He has said he takes his helmet off when alone, so imagine he eats and washes then. He probably has some internal way to get fluids and nutrients as well, but he does take he helmet off daily.

I love this series. Best part of my Friday during the season. Agreed it's the best series in years.

This series is the only reason I'm paying for Disney channel when our free year ran out.

Ep 1 this season was good. 2 was kind of meh. 3 was better than 1.
Can't wait to see what's next!

I thought S2 has been worse than S1. Ep1 and Ep2 did the cardinal sin of boring me. Though I hear that Ep3 was much better. However my free year of Disney+ expired. So I'll probably just wait until the season is over and then just get a month of D+ to watch it.

I thought S2Ep1 was the weakest one yet...and that hurts, because I'm a huge fan of Tim Olyphant. I just felt like the writing was really poor.

Season 2 >>> Season 1
Season 2 Episode 2>Episode 1>Episode 3 But it's really close. Incredible start to this year. It's everything we really wanted.

I actually thought Episode 3 was the weakest one so far this season. I'd put it Ep 1 > Ep 2 > Ep 3

I’m loving it. Perfect mixture of adventure and humor. Love the Alien references. The jet pack trick was hilarious.

Weird seeing Kara Thrace in the Star Wars universe, but I'm in the "episode 3 was the best so far in season 2 camp."
Slight spoiler: I am slightly concerned that our hero keeps putting himself in position to be taken advantage of and needing to be bailed out. Last edited by Vince, Pt. II : 11-15-2020 at 12:42 PM. |

I have been loving the series so far overall.
I don't like Giancarlo Esposito as the big bad (so far), cuz he's playing practically the same character in 3-4 successive shows I've watched, which isn't very compelling. Similarly I want to like Amy Sedaris' character, but I don't & she pulls me out of the story every time she's on screen.

So far we have the following threads in season 2(continued from season 1)
-Mando trying to find Ahsoka and return the child -Moff Gideon trying to get the child, and possessing the Darksaber -Bo Katan trying to get the darksaber back from Moff Gideon, so she can unite the rest of the mandalorians -Random bounty hunters attempting to collect on Din and the Child -Boba Fett, surely not going to throw away his shot -Greef Karga and Cara Dunne, who surely will get in the mix I doubt all of these threads will conclude this season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Boba Fett make a power play this year. I doubt that the long term safety of Peli Motto(amy sedaris) can be assured, with Fett around. Also possible they can use a younger Lor San Tekka at some point in this series(guy that Kylo kills in the beginning of episode 7). |

Well, have to see where it leads, but the last shot of episode 1 (IIRC) was the actor who played Jango Fett in the prequels, and Boba Fett was a clone of Jango.

Heavily scarred Temuera Morrison was in the last shot op episode 1. He played Jango. All the clone trooper clones were aged rapidly so it basically has to be Boba. Plus that was Boba’s armor that the lawman was wearing.

I have no idea how well known the film Once Were Warriors is outside of NZ and Australia, but the idea that the lead character in that (played by Temuera) ended up being cloned for the Clone Troopers always made me think that they should have conquered the entire galaxy with ease...

I don't understand why he doesn't use his jetpack more. Riding speeder bikes and getting surrounded by enemies, just jetpack out of trouble and use it to get where you need to go.

Boba Fett is just fan service. I doubt they'll kill him in this property, but there's a good reason they're using him.

Agree it was a good episode and appreciate a couple familiar characters from last season.
Great scene with Mando & baby Yoda trying to fix the ship. Baby Yoday swiping the blue macaroons (and later accident). Storm troopers need remedial shooting practice for sure. Saw Mando drink under his mask. Really like how they introduced the lab mystery. So now we have the trip to Ahsoka Tano, more eventually with Bo-Katan, Moff Gideon & dark saber, and the lab mystery. |

The Storm Troopers must not get military training, they just run out into the open without any cover whatsoever.

I watched the Leeds-Arsenal match this weekend with my daughters. Leeds (wearing white) had about a dozen shots in the first half, many of which were great opportunities, but kicked almost all of them them over or around the goal. At some point, my younger daughter looked at me and said, "These guys shoot like storm troopers."
Very proud moment in parenting. |

This season of The Mandalorian is kicking arse. This last episode with Ahsoka Tano was amazing and somehow they are masterfully tying in the Prequels, the original trilogy, the Clone Wars and Rebels animated series, as well as tying in things from books and video games. Ultimate fan service TV show. By using all of the previous work as source material, this feels like a lived-in universe.

Well.....if you wanted to start from a Chronological Timeline, this is the best way to watch all of them if you have the time and patience to do this: Quote:
I have removed all the references to the show "The Resistance" as that was basically a kid's show that is canon but adds no value and really has only loose references to the movies. "Forces of Destiny" episodes are just short videos (3 to 5 minutes) that flesh out and actually add value to some of the events surrounding it. All the above is available to watch on Disney Plus. *T* = Television *M* = Movies Clone Wars episodes are in this format: Season (1st digit), Episode (Last 2 digits)

Rosario Dawson is so underrated as an actress. She absolutely nailed Ahsoka Tano. Best episode of the season to this point and arguably the best in the series (though I'd have to rewatch Season 1 before I could say that definitively).

My only objection to Episode 5 was realizing how old Michael Biehn has gotten. He was one of my Top 5 favorite actors from the mid-80s to mid-90s.
