Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)

[epilogue]

the story has something to do with Episode 9

This is what I DON'T want.

It doesn't. Don't worry.

[bune]

Here's what I know: the story has something to do with Episode 9 so I know it's going somewhere. the 7th episode is going to do something to setup the movie, and the 8th is going to do something to make the movie make more sense.

ok so the last one is a hope more than a know but whatever.

I'd set the over/under about about 5% on this and I'd take the under.

I'm more worried that the story isn't going anywhere

The story is no good to us dead

i liked it better than the last two. It looked way better....but yeah, the format of this series with mando going some place getting into trouble and leaving is getting tiresome.

I'm not sure why "fan service" is a problem. Everyone bitches that the Netflix/MCU stuff isn't ENOUGH in the Universe, but now this is TOO MUCH in the Universe?

Five years after the fall of the Empire, people aren't going to talk about the Empire?
In the giant space port right next to where Luke grew up, they're not going to know about Beggar's Canyon, or see Sand People?

As long as this is about people outside of our I-IX saga living their non I-IX lives, I'm fine with mentions and callouts.

You have to have a plot to get away with it.

My money’s on Gus Fring.

Good not great. Production values are generally good. Unremarkable music. I came in expecting something like Rogue One narrative quality. Not there yet.

I liked the second ep better than the first. I’m fully onboard with the main theme music. The rest is pedestrian. I think my expectations going in were too high in terms of the narrative and thus I’m left a bit wanting at the story being told thus far, i.e. “when is this show going to kick into high gear?” The stakes feel too low. I’m probably judging it too harshly and need to give it time to develop.

Each episode is better than the last. I liked the score throughout in E3. Agree with everything durdencommatyler said. Action sequences are good but clunky. I expect Mandos to fight at Jason Bourne speed. They all moved like overweight chonks with jetpacks. WHEN CAN I BUY THE ALL-BESKAR MANDO ACTION FIGURE?

I enjoyed this ep but it was not an improvement. I'm still struggling to reconcile my expectations and desire for higher stakes with what we're being given (though I recognize high stakes may be right in front of our faces with Baby Yoda and what his existence could mean). I'm in love with the theme song. Gina Carano is not good at acting. The script isn't doing her any favors either. The bar server's performance made Gina Carano look like Meryl Streep (FYI: that was Josh Gad's wife).

Episode 5 looked good. That’s about all I can say that’s positive. The show is fine for what it is but this isn’t what I was hoping for (stakes, plot, darker tone, good acting, a good score, Ewoks, etc.). The whole affair feels way too conservative.

It’s clearly designed to make you think that. Which is exactly why it isn’t.

I reckon it’s Luke.

If it's Hondo, I'm out.

I just assumed it was Mando who headed back to pick up the bounty.

[blueviper]

I thought it was Carl Weathers’ character, Griff Tannen or whatever

A nice looking episode, but went nowhere. I get the feeling we’ll get the meat of the story in the last two episodes, and a cliffhanger for season 2.

So basically, it could have just been a 2 hour movie
