This first season was weak af. Same with Shamalamadingdong's The Servant. Lazy ass writing. It's just a bunch of stupid people doing stupid shit.
- Why are you comparing a Star Wars spaghetti western to an eerie thriller on a different platform?monospaced
- @mono - those are TV series and they both suck ass. Fuck off.babydick
- babyyoda will crush you for this in season 2grafician
- I hope so. Until then, suck that Disney dick. Space Western my ass, assholes. Watch a real western.babydick

- Good gravy! Someone needs a warm bath and a chardonnay.Akagiyama
- I don't see what the fuss is all about with this show either. Seems wildly overrated.MondoMorphic
- @baby i've read a lot of your posts.. you would know lazy ass writing. and stop stealing from Tarantino; it's unbecomingplash
- ya not a fan of real western....

Baby Yoda implies the existence of a Sporty Yoda, Scary Yoda, Ginger Yoda, and Posh Yoda

So Kuiil played by Nick Nolte was shot and killed while riding a blurrg at full clip by a stormtrooper riding a 74-z speeder bike that are known to not be able to shoot a tin can just feet away. Jason Sudeikis as the stormtrooper was the worst part of season 1. Worst improv.

- isn't this one of Maul's sabers?plash
- from what i know this saber was in possession of mandalorian clan for quite a while. i guess he took it from a dead mandalorian .pango
- The Dark Sabre arcs in clone wars and rebels were some of the strongest episodes. It also gets a shout out in rogue one.thumb_screws

- pretty much, a space westerngrafician
- It’s not even subtle. It’s a spaghetti westernmonospaced

I'd skip Episode1. Is pretty bad and b-grade imo... except for Herzog.
But Ep 2 is amazing damn. Love the fantasy + roaming samurai vibe. Felt like watching an old anime or studio gibli film.
- MAN... Ep.1 was great! it really set the tone for what is to come. i'm no SW fanboy, but this made me member why i fell in love with it all as a kid.necromation
- interested to know what you didn't like in Ep1? I thought it was a great setup with plenty of action, intrigue and a great surprise at the end.fadein11
- the cheesy blue alien with American accent. the generic reptile henchman guys getting shot. overall cheap Star Trek feeling.inteliboy
- I agree. And yet there’s something beyond that.monospaced

- 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

iron man in space. i'm out. can't wait for favreau to reboot jumanji with headsup displays and paltrow as the quirky yet distant mom that goes on vacation.

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

The whole first episode I couldn't help think about how goofy the whole thing felt. There's a distinct low budget quality to it that it's hard to put my finger on. The cinematography, dialogue and especially the practical effects came together to make something that was almost like a 90s sitcom version of Star Wars. It's like they went out of their way to make sure that the puppet lips never synced to dialogue and a lot of characters just felt like people in makeup.
It was like a spaghetti western of sci-fi, which maybe was what Star Wars is all about, and once I realised this I was able to relax and start to enjoy. You're supposed to laugh!
Then the final scenes began, and I couldn't help rolling my eyes at the goofy ass droid. But it moments later, during the big shootout, the child-like nerd in me got super excited. The goofiness transformed into serious sci-fi, and then the big reveal gave me a triple-replay nerdgasm.
They paced that goofiness to serious reveal nicely. Then the second episode balanced out. Can't wait to see how it shapes up.
- The right amount of cheese.DRIFTMONKEY
- I concur, it hit the right notes, people just forgot what those notes were after recent efforts.fadein11
- I still think they should invest in a bit of top-class CG for the humanoids and creatures. Muppet style movements don't fly anymore. Looks cheap and fake.monospaced
- The creatures he rode on the sand planet weren't great but even Last Jedi suffered from that shit, worse even. Ep 3 was fun also.fadein11
- exactly thisinteliboy
- Why would you downvote the first assessment of the show? If you have an issue say so don’t be a bitch.monospaced

It feels rushed, but I like it.

I don't understand the fascination so many Star Wars fans have with Boba Fett. He was a bounty hunter without much of a backstory at all.
- It's a little bit like some kind or rarity obsession. Like how people love horrible shoes that were produced in limited runs.PhanLo
- I thought he was cool when I was 10 though, the outfit was good. He was a terrible bounty hunter it turned out.PhanLo
- That's the power of a cool mask.dopepope
- I don't understand the fascination with Star Wars, it's all made up and scientific facts would dispute all of it. Much like religion...shapesalad
- Star Wars was a mashup of genres, which at the time was quite exciting. There's loads of pseudo religious stuff in it too.PhanLo
- The recipe is simple: he had a cool action figure and he can fly.zarkonite
- I still think the Force is a better religious concept than any major religion.CyBrainX
- Cool name. cool weapons, cool spaceship. That's the trifecta for little kids - who are now adults.stoplying
- Fuck Star Wars. All of it. Fuck it to hell.PublicVoice
- Simple. Because he was cool. And Vader was down.prophetone
