I want new stories with new characters in new parts of the galaxy. Preferably set after the last movie, or in the distant past. Certainly not between movies and tying in a bunch of characters that we know what happens to, or plot lines from movies that didn't make sense.

Mando is great, and good for them for trying to clean up some of the messes left by the movies, but why not just put the universe in capable hands and move on?

I would pay up to Netflix charge and probably more with all of that content on the way. Would simply cancel something else.

I actually don't know anything about Acolyte, so maybe. But my worry is that Mando will go off the rails as they keep trying to rehabilitate the ST.

I know we shouldn't compare everything to Marvel, but it's hard not to since they are owned by the same company and both dropped a bunch of stuff today. But look at the marvel stuff. All of it is moving forward, expanding the universe, adding to the lore. I swear if the Star Wars guys were in charge of marvel we be getting a show about the crew that had to rebuild stark tower after age of ultron.

There is so much more in the Marvel universe and so many different variations of the characters I think it is a little easier to strike out in a new direction.

I don't think it's that hard. Take everything you want to do in Star Wars, and set it after Rise of Skywalker.

Marvel has the benefit of drawing from something like 70 or 80 years of material for a lot of what they have done, or will do. Everything from Star Wars is, imo, largely original. Using familiar villains like the empire with stormtroopers is a safe play. Going way back in the past with the High Republic stuff (Acolyte) is more risky. Going post Rise of Skywalker is also a big risk, but potentially something they are holding in reserve for now.


Most of the Marvel announcements were already known, too.

You are totally right about Marvel, and that is their great advantage. But the formula could still be followed.

Cool ass space westerns with space wizards are going to be good even in new settings with new characters. Plus you lose the baggage of trying to stick to a bunch of movie cannon that doesn't make sense.

Meh no big deal.

I've paid for exactly ONE month so far and watched 2 seasons (almost) of Mandalorian and several other movies, specials, etc.

Disclaimer - my kids are grown so IK have no need for it regularly - watched S1 on a free trial, and I just waited until 5 episodes of S2 were out and then signed up for a month so I can finish it in that time.

As spread out as their content is for shows I care about if I can keep doing a month here and there it's worth it.

Fantastic episode.

The ending...Mando is going feral to get what he wants back. You can tell he is really attached to the child.

I was worried they'd be found out after fighting the pirates because Mando was too competent a stormtrooper

Also, nice data security, Empire. Any old face will do

I was thinking the same thing. "Confirmed, you do in fact have a face. Here's some classified data."

My thoughts:
1) I owe Bill Burr an apology for my comments yesterday. He made his character relatable. His scene in the cantina was great. I was impressed.

2) At the end when the tie's were chasing Slave-1, I was yelling "Use the sonic charge, use the sonic charge"... yes, he used it. An awesome excuse to watch it in surround sound.

3) Great to see Mando with the helmet off. I hope they do that more frequently in season 3.

4) Overall, I enjoyed the episode. Can't wait for the finale. The message from Mando to Gideon at the end was awesome!

First episode of the entire series with no Grogu, I think?


I think Gideon's up to something with him beyond the DNA. They gave us a taste of it letting him rage on the stormtroopers like that. Sure it wore him out and made him easy to cuff, but if Gideon is a career Empire guy, he knows what at least Vader was capable of with the Force. Cultivating a living weapon of your own seems like the kind of thing he'd do.


Also feel like Gideon probably flushed that female officer out of the air lock for playing that message on the bridge for everyone to see.

I know it's a small detail, but seeing the inside of Slave 1 rotate into position while the central platform holds steady on gyro is fulfilling to me.

LOL, I had the same thought about his competence. Those pirates were probably wondering why the f-ck is this guy so hard to kill.

Shiny Fett armor was cool, seismic charge was cool, and the message to Gideon was awesome. Enjoyed this episode a lot.

Do we think Mando is reconsidering his stance on no living being seeing his face?

That was so, so cool. A definitely differnt look from my Kenner toy where Boba Fett had to lie on an operating table to fly his own ship.

Loved the Scrap Yard opening too, tearing apart old Empire machines.

And the reference to Operation Cinder.

It wasn't a bad episode, and it had its moments, but it was definitely was not what I was hoping for from the next-to-last episode of the season.

That one really worked for me, although probably because I love Bill Burr. Fascinating to see an actor's personality come through, even when talking about a magical space story.

Also, seismic charge!!
