I love you

I will watch this episode tonight after work. And then I will go back and read Ruddo's spoilers. Especially the one in which I am namedropped. I promise to dispute it regardless of the posts merits and/or how I feel about the ep (and whether or not Ruddo is right).

Holy fucking fuckity fuck:)

Game on. Big time.

We’re off to the races now.
Deborah chow did such a brilliant job. It may as well have been clone wars story wise. But in the best way.

If we got *that* what the fuck are they getting ready to spring on us.

This is just fantastic fun. All of it.

dime, you mentioned the blackman beyond podcast earlier, have you listened to it yet? Marc goes into more detail on his feelings on the show and it's an interesting conversation. Says that since he was looking at it from the perspective of a grown adult, he had expectations that were not met. He readjusted those expectations for a children's show (what Star Wars is all about!®) and it's much better.

I did hear that. Meh. I don’t know him or his work apart from being Kevin’s sideman.
I loved his take on it though. And hated it. It patronizing in a way and true in a way.

He sounds pissed they just hanemt hired him tbh. He’s been like that a while tho.

Spoiler: show

When the New Republic was mentioned, Mando said "that's a joke". Interesting.

If he never removes his helmet, how does he eat?

Suppository

Spoiler: show

Did I see Zuckuss, Endo, and Boussh [R.I.P.]?

Possibly. I thought

Spoiler: show

I saw 4-LOM a couple of times.

that's...a take. Sure.

Spoiler: show

I love that he is now the bounty, and that the other Mandalorians will be involved. They may be making this about Mandalore a lot more now (which is why Joey may not like it). Also, that scientist didn't want it harmed, so I wonder if we will hear from him again.

The only thing that bothers me is the whole helmet thing. Not removing their helmets isn't a "Mandalorian Way". We saw plenty of them without their helmets on in Clone Wars and Rebels.

But,

Spoiler: show

we have no idea what happened to any of them since Rebels. Looks like things may have changed a bit for them.

What am I missing

well, my answer depends on how long you've listened to Marc.

Oh. It’s a safe. They cleared that up at celebration this year apparently.

I loved his line about the jetpack.

And I love whistling birds

Clearly this is a fantastic show. I love the grit. I love the violence as well. Its quite brutal.

There’s a few million dedicated mando cosplayers out there been smiling ear to ear the last three weeks.

I think today there’s been a constant roar of joy from them around the world after this episode
So badass.

They’re always the thing I’m least interested in in Star Wars. This has changed that.

And how.

With such short episodes though...im still unsure about where this story might go and what it all is supposed to be about.....

It’s all leading up to BY being handed over to Luke.

Count on it.


Doubt me? Hamill hasn’t even tweeted once about the show. And he’s been getting asked.

Well its just an interesting time frame in that this is the first live action or cartoon that bridges the gap from ROTJ and Force Awakens.

BY does not exist in the new trilogy so really what might the point be in all of that?

Im excited to find out where this goes. Do not get me wrong!
