idk, I should note this, as watching this series, it's somehow closer to the Star Wars "mood" than any major feature released, after Rogue One ofc
- Apart from baby yoghurt there isn't some new George Lucas dancing ferrits every 2 minutes. i suppose one good series is a plus.PhanLo
- yes for sure, wainting on that Obi Wan series tho' toografician
- Favreau is ridiculous btw, the imagination on that man, he must be a real Jedi no doubtgrafician
- not to mention the "ending credits" with those amazing concept art pieces!grafician
- idk, like I said, this series feels very "crafted" somehow, it's all in the detailsgrafician
- there isn't one episode that let me down, the continuity and consistency is off the charts on this onegrafician
- can't wait to meet Ahsoka Tano next week!grafician
- I've been watching it with my 11yo son and his reactions indicate that The Mandalorian is def. his equivalent of me with the original trilogy.evilpeacock
- Also, my 11yo twins both liked Rogue One far more than the last two trilogies.evilpeacock
- ^the kids are alright then mate!grafician
- It feels a lot more like the role playing game, which i likescarabin
- @evilpeacock - I agree (and on Rogue One, by far the best recent SW movie).fadein11

- oh shit! sorry i spoiled the season finale. instead of something that's pretty much the centre of every episodes.pango
- the human baby sounds (cliche @ best) lack much creativity—it's as if they pulled out their old 'cartoon sfx V.1' disc and pulled the 1st babble they could findPonyBoy
- The species speaks like a human for the most part though. Lots about the show is lazy though maybe this too I guess.monospaced
- You’d expect this one to have a more natural baby “voice” though and not infant coos. I agree.monospaced
- I guess I was just expecting a bit more Frank Oz in tone... like a baby Ms Piggy or Fozzie BearPonyBoy
- seen ep 3, baby is savedgrafician
- Haha. Yup!monospaced
- ITS AN ALIEN!!
also as person who avoids babies and infant, they make different sounds?!pango - love that it's a puppet and not cgi in most parts_niko
- except when it's a crude puppet and totally ruins any sense of the fantasymonospaced
- So far, it's a big meh for me...episodes are too short, nothing interesting is really happening, the music is bad.ApeRobot
- it's falling short in general, I agreemonospaced
- PhanLo2
Watched the first episode, anyone else seen it yet?
Thought it was ok-ish. Pretty Star-Warsy. Music was a bit weird/cheap sounding.- I enjoyed it, decent opener. Felt more SW than the god awful sequels. Design was superb throughout I thought.fadein11
- Were did you watched it?ApeRobot
- Disney+.
I really liked it; the bounty droid, ending and overall pace hooks you in pretty quickly. That ending, though!ideaist - Music was pretty bad. Why'd they retcon IG-88? They made him out to be a total wuss. Ruined the idea of him.DRIFTMONKEY
- it wasn't IG-88, same model, different unit.fadein11
- all models are IG-88monospaced
- he's called IG-11 so I beg to differ.fadein11

Holy shit, what an amazing season finale!
Just, wow.
Who the hell is cutting onions in here???
- That finale was the icing on the cake of a great season. So nice to have good SW back again.fadein11
- I was like no way, no way, no way, NOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYY! loved it!antonyjwhite
- I know haha.fadein11
- I kind of hate Jon Favreau’s guts right now after that.
I mean, I love him. But I really fucking hate him.Continuity - VERY SATISFYINGgrafician
- currently 9.9/10 on IMDBgrafician

The internet pedants (read youtube fanboy channels) are discussing the size of Ashoka her 'Lekkus'. THEY ARE TOO SHORT! OOHHH!
I really despise those 'Simpsons comic book guys' with their channels. Talentless cunts, never happy. Or it's too far away from the source material OR its fan service. Get a life.

- Comics book guy 100%tank02
- Jesus. This sounds like gatekeeping Trek fanbois.Continuity
- They take themselves to serious. I follow a star trek podcast (greatest gen) they are the opposite and 2 cameramen, so are much more humble en self-deprecatingtank02
- They made them shorter ‘cause they were too heavyscarabin
- NBQ000
Unpopular opinion but I didn’t not like Ashoka character. Looks way too cartoony and doesn’t fit in the live-action world so well. I guess they put her in for the Clone Wars cartoon fans.
- *did notNBQ00
- I don't know if you've noticed, but every single alien in the SW universe looks like it's made of rubber and foam.Continuity
- Not all. And it’s not that necessarily but the design and coloring. She really looks cartoony.NBQ00
- They all look cartoony. Greedo, Boba, Chewie, R2D2, Jabbatank02
- But not the way she looks. The painted on shapes on her face and the head piece on her forehead looks cheap and overly cartoony.NBQ00
- She never appeared in the SW universe except the cartoon series Clone Wars. Also that episode wasn’t that great compared to previous 4NBQ00
- I do actually know what you are saying, but I think it's because they got her spot on. In the dialogue scenes she doesn't at all but yes, from a distance shefadein11
- does but I think it's only because we are programmed to see her as an animated character. I thought they did it way better than I expected.fadein11
- i concur with fade. But than again, my fav parts of SW is clones, rebels and rogue one. And mando ofc.tank02
- But one of her species, Skaak Ti, was in the prequesls. That species is not even new to live action.
https://static.wikia…ETM - true, but looked better in Mando.fadein11
- truly Unpopular opinion. you're the only one I know.pango

So good. Great casting and that name drop.
- Also loth cats.thumb_screws
- ...and who to cast as live action thrawnthumb_screws
- More star wars then the original star wars!inv
- ^SO MUCH THIS!grafician
- That Thrawn trilogy was really great. Enjoyed each and every bookmisterhow
- ^^ Get Clive Owen as Thrawnface_melter
- Was thinking Hugo weaving as thrawn. Ben wishaw could work or cumbersnatch.thumb_screws
- use the voice actor from the series, a good actor,tank02
- Only blue actors should play blue characters.i_monk
- I didn’t realise it was Lars Mikkelsen doing thrawns voice in rebels. That could totally work in live actionthumb_screws

OMG.. FINALLY all the boba lover have something to jerk off to. Then shortly complain it isn't canon because back in 1987 in some obscure comic he was blah blah blah and his personality was blah blah blah oh my GOD.. that is the wrong blue and green Pantone, I could of made it better...and FUCK Star Wars, making too many *oh cool, another marvel movie..., gross DC movie let me hate on it before I see it..... chugs red bull gets on boards 'fake rage'
*insert coming soon the internet
joking aside. Hope it's good. love the idea of bounty hunters as a series. hope it has that dark sons of anarchy / game of thrones vibe and darker tones vs a live action clone wars cheesy fest.
- Agreed, hopefully it will be a little dark and not so "family" oriented. But whatever, they just want to sell more merchandise.Maaku
- I hope it's light hearted, has bounty hunter wahmen doing bounty hunting stuff and has plenty of vagina jokes.robthelad
- ^ So, basically, you want to watch Deadpool and Deadpool 2.Continuity

I love the series but saying it's the best Star Wars has done is an overstatement. The plotlines are very thin in comparison. The main character needs something. He runs into opposition and does them a favor in exchange for what he wants. It's a bit formulaic.
Also, making Star Wars with no discussion of the force or having Jedi is a handicap. Take the episode with Rosario Dawson. Didn't that one feel like a breath of fresh air in comparison to most episodes?- Isn’t supposed to be a Space Spaghetti Western?nb
- It reminds me of MTV's Aeon Flux or Wylie Coyote and the Road Runner but better. It's less ambitious than a Star Wars film.CyBrainX
- In all fairness...it's probably less ambitious than Star Wars because they have to produce dozens and dozens of shows. Quantity goes up...quality goes down!utopian

I never would have thought that a little green doll and some dude who never takes off his helmet would make me weep like a bitch an hour before work on a Friday morning.
- helloeatbreathedrive1
Flawless. Fuckin flawless.
- Right?
This show really, really can do no wrong.Continuity - Oh man, the production design, score, characters, story - all in all very entertaining.helloeatbreathedrive
- And I'm really happy Favreau seems to be prioritising character development over plot. Excellent move.Continuity
- yep, favreau and filoni are the best things to happen to SW. True fans doing it for the fans. And showing what a shack of shit JJ was.fadein11
- JJ should never have been allowed close to the Trek franchise, either, he's a fucking hack.Continuity
- ^was it that bad?futurefood
- Yes.Continuity
- Right?

The black robot storm troopers looked stupid.
- they reminded me of some generic Battle Star Galactica action figure I had as a kid.fooler
- Or some villain robots from Iron ManNBQ00
- yes! Probably because they were already part of some game...inv
- https://static.wikia…inv
- They're from Dark Forces, a Lucasarts PC game from yars back. You can buy it on GOG for pennies. Pretty good, actually.face_melter
- agreed.inteliboy
- because they didn't have any tits?fadein11

Ahsoka rejecting the child or Groggo was really dumb.
Like there are plenty of Jedi's everywhere that can educate him.
And she found someone really rare with force and let him go?
Why?
Because he has "separation anxiety"
Is he not going to have the same anxiety with another Jedi master?I think she's just a bitch and doesn't want to baby sit instead of showing her powers off to ignorant villagers and treated like a goddess.
- It was actually smart, she has seen what happened to Anakin. The kid and Mando are very similar orphans, and here sense is right in this.Trust Filloni.tank02
- There aren't plenty of Jedi...left anywhere. Also she is still a Jedi Padawan herself, not a Master.grafician
- There would be very few Jedi alive at this time.i_monk
- Also, she's not a Jedi in the traditional sense since she left the Order during the Clone Wars.Akagiyama
- I don't get why she didn't deny being a jedi anymore here, like she did by the end of Clone Wars and Rebels.ETM
- I kept waiting for "I am no Jedi"ETM
- Me too! ^^Akagiyama
- I don’t get why she didn’t at least take it to someone she knows. Don’t wanna train it? Fine. But pass it off to someone who can!scarabin
- @scar - she told him where to take the child.fadein11
- "and maybe a Jedi will come"i_monk

theres 3-4 more episodes and this series was one of the best pieces of the Star Wars Universe so far...
- I agree, last 2-3 have been up there with anything in the entire history of SWfadein11
- I was so-so on season 1 but they've improved in every way in season 2. Really solid stuff.MondoMorphic
