I finished Mandalorian season 2 and I am so ready for whatever is going to happen next.

For some reason Disney+ only has The Clone Wars movie and the final season of the show but not the rest of it. Great service lol.

2613

It has all of the show, it’s just confusing that the thumbnail says “The Final Season.”

Watched the first 3 or 4 episodes last night and as a person blissfully unaware of all these other shows and dealings I thought all these characters were basically like fleshed out NPCs in a tabletop game, setting up obvious quest hooks for our intrepid hero to follow up on later. Still had a huge monster of the week feel even with the weak narrative “deliver the kid” throughline. Really fun so far! Maybe it all falls apart in the back half of the season I dunno

2615

yup

2616

it’s really only the last episode that’s irritating imo. the second to last one is my favorite one of the whole series, plus it has bill burr in it being great

that’s true, it’s like ash vs evil dead in that if you ignore the last episode of the second season, you had a really great time, much better than you hoped

The special editions ruined the movies, the prequels were embarrassing, the last Jedi ruined Luke, the rise of Skywalker ruined the last Jedi. At this point the definition of “star wars fan” is basically “someone who hates star wars”

At some point star wars people are going to just say the specific part of the reanimated undying empire they’re fans of, like trek people do. It’ll be a renaissance for them.

I think for most it will just be “being ten years old”

Like Anakin on Mortis I reject my calling to stan Episode II despite how cool the sonic mines were when I was ten.

Solo and TROS are unwatchable, honestly, I bailed out of both of them to do chores this past week.

I’m bummed out at the Marvelization following two messy but thoughtful films in Rogue One and The Last Jedi.

A true fan!

I have to watch all of The Clone Wars and Rebels before even thinking about starting Season 2 of the Mandalorian so I can make an informed decision about whether to roll my eyes or sob.

Solo is a perfect 7/10 movie, and Holiday Special is a dada masterpiece.

Solo is definitely not bad but it feels distinctly Ron Howarded – it has one of Disney’s best casts in recent memory and the set pieces are mostly fun and make sense, but the low-light cinematography doesn’t really work as more than a gimmick, and what remains of Lord and Miller’s direction feels overdetermined

ron howard is at his best when eating george lucas’s leftovers
