I'd love to see a fat mid-life crisis Jar Jar, mellowed and wisened through tragedy and misfortune, who nobody believes used to hang out with Jedi and republic senators.

Feels like the digital face CGI is getting better by the month. Wonder if ILM might try to pull off a few short shots of Luke if that's all that was needed.
It's time for the movie business/a major blockbuster franchise to utilize/improve on deepfake tech. It's ready...
I would lose 100 jobs to have that chance, again. Cherish every moment.

I'm good with this. If Favreau and posse can finally kill off Jar-Jar in an episode of the Mandalorian, they would reach legendary status.
The problem with JarJar is every aspect of his character is annoying.

He's already in the Disney family, and absolutely looks the part, so I'm all for it.
Jar Jar walks in right as Moff Gideon is dueling Ahsoka with her lightsabers, Gideon with the Dark Saber and Mando with the Beskar spear and they all three cut his head off simultaneously.Wheatables02 said:TCTTS said:

As long as before they kill him, JarJar says "me-sa a Sith Lord... you betcha betcha." Everyone laughs and then kills him. Gotta add a little nod to the wild theory/idea/fact he was going to be the villain but Lucas screwed it up royally.
Jar Jar in TCW was terrible, a big reason why while I like FIloni I don't understand the walks-on-water status he has with so many fans. If only we all could have everyone ignore our mistakes like him.
Jar Jar should be treated like the sips, left in the past never to be brought back up in anything new again.
The thing most people like about Filoni is that he seems to "get Star Wars" in the same way that those of us who grew up with it from the OT like to think of it and see. it.Ag Since 83 said:

TCW was a children's cartoon. I'm pretty sure they told him to put Jar Jar in some episodes because kids love that character. My girls both think he's hilarious, and they were born 13 years after TPM came out.
But under Filoni's direction TCW and Rebels both evolved into can't miss episodic TV for any age, even though Rebels had those terribly thick lightsabers, I mean, it looked like they were fighting each other with watermelons!
They're using him as their lore guy, the dude is so hardcore he dressed up as Plo Koon for opening night of ROTS back in 2005. He's liked so much because he's driving the narrative of connective tissue through series and stories and it's by and large really awesome.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

He's so much the "lore guy" he keeps adding more Jedi and contradicting the original trilogy right and left.
Also you ignored Resistance, again, because the bad stuff he creates doesn't count I guess.
Never mind his most famous show started with a terrible movie (that he directed) and that it's best watched if you ignore a lot of episodes all together, and only watch the good ones in a certain order you have to find online. Does that sound like a good show?
At least he gave us Thrawn back, but his depiction of him on TV is vastly different than the author's depiction in books.
And Ahsoka's an interesting character. I wish he'd killed her off the end of Rebels season 2.

what's contradicted the original trilogy?
While I do agree to some degree about the show, I think you also have to agree that his finished product has gotten better and better as he moves forward in his career. Which is something I think most people would agree is a good thing in a director.

I haven't finished season 4 of Rebels, and I haven't probably read the Thrawn books in 20 years, but man I thought Thrawn was right on to Zahn's writing of him. Just a cool cucumber who is 3 times smarter than everyone else and is playing a long game that no one else can see.
How is he contradicting the original trilogy? About there not being anymore Jedi? Surely you can agree there are probably lots of other beings with a Force connection in existence after the Purge. It wasn't like the Emperor had a detector that could sense if anyone in the galaxy was force sensitive and kill them automatically.Ag Since 83 said:

Neither Grogu nor Ahsoka is a Jedi by the definition of the term. If you're talking about something else, I apologize, and would like to know what you mean.
I ignored Resistance because it sucks. The guy is an artist. Some of his stuff is awesome and some is not. I'm celebrating the good stuff. I'm currently getting to write a book about Hollywood's leading men from the past 40 years. i brag about it. I also write an ebook about CBD for dogs 2 weeks ago. It was stupid as hell. I wouldn't dream of putting it on my resume.
I disagree about Clone Wars. I realize the list exists to watch the episodes in a certain way, but I've never done that. I've watched the first 3.5 seasons with my kids. I like it, one of them loves it. It's a cartoon. It has silly episodes and great episodes. The movie was half silly half cool, much like the prequels.
Every single thing that he puts out doesn't have to be amazing. Enjoy the amazing stuff. Paul McCartney's got a new album coming out. I'm guessing the songs on there aren't as good as Let it Be and Hey Jude but it doesn't mean I have to take a crap on him altogether.
As for the rest, Thrawn and Ahsoka are personal preference things. I respect your opinion on them, mine is different.
Resistance catches some flack from purists, but it was fine for what it was - a Disney XD show that tried to build on the world that was created by Episode VII. It was silly, had cool moments with storm troopers, droids, and spaceships; therefor my younger kids liked it. It actually was nominated for some awards as well.
And yeah, people do advise skipping through some of the episodes of Rebels or Clone Wars, but that's generally because people are trying to binge those shows to catch up to present day series. Rebels has 70+ episodes and CW has 120+, so that's a lot to power-through and there will be some lesser storylines in there (stares at droids). But overall, kids ate those two shows up and so did adults... which is a pretty tough task to pull off.

In his later EU books, and all his new canon books, Zahn makes it very clear Thrawn has a code, is a man of honor, that just happens to be on the Imperial side. But he disagrees with a lot of the Empire's more ruthless tactics.
The personification of him in Rebels comes across as the tactical genius he is, but also very sinister and evil and much more Imperial
That's actually something I really enjoy about The Mandalorian in general. All these characters we love are straight up killers, but they also have a genuine sense of honor and duty that feels very true to the show's universe.Ag Since 83 said:ChipFTAC01 said:

And who knows if they show he has evolved to be that way after being a hermit for 10 years, or whatever the time he has spent away is.

Haha...the s*** is funny!

lololol... god this movie sucked
The Mandalorian is amazing though. That is all.
Yes, but I thought the Forcetime fight was cool.
It would be cool if the whole premise wasn't completely ridiculous
Does anyone else feel like the light sabers on the Mandalorian feel kinda 'dull'?
They don't have the same 'pop' as the light sabers in the movies imo.
I thought this immediately when Ashoka came on screen, and then again when they showed the dark saber in the previous episode.

Ashoka's were awesome... loved that she would ignite them only when needed to remain hidden.
The dark saber was a bit underwhelming... a bit off that he took it out to show off to a child

I thought hers glowed brighter than normal
She needs grey or blackish ones to hide better

Random opinion: I thought it was way too phallic of a scene. It actually made me cringe a little.
Also, when did we learn Mandos name was Din? I clearly missed that memo. I also feel like I've asked this before and feel like I have dementia now.
