Disney should just bite the bullet and have Dr. Strange fix all the bullshit they've done since buying out Lucas. (except Mandolarian and Rogue One).

and the Animated stuff.

Deleting the sequel trilogy and doing another would be bold but not impossible.

Remember also that this species ages slowly. By the time we're in this latest trilogy, he'd maybe be a what we'd see as like 10-years-old.

Dave Filoni is directing the next episode, which is pretty much hard confirmation that Ahsoka is going to be in it.

It’s also going to be a longer episode at 45 minutes.

Friday can't arrive fast enough

Feloni does such a good job. Looking forward to this big time.

Can't wait

Moff Gideon should be named Gus Frader.

Just watched it cuz I woke up super early.

Still have goosebumps. Wow.

goddamn was that a great episode

typical that they'd give the kid a name right before Christmas lol

If this were a normal year they def would have had Dawson's character costumes out for Halloween. for sure

Damn.... great fight between Ahsoka and Spear Lady.

I was even thinking during it "they changed Ahsoka's fighting style, she isn't holding her saber backwards anymore"..... but then boom at the end of the fight she switches to her signature style and puts it to a quick end. Great beat... like Rocky learning to fight right handed, but then unleashing his natural Southpaw.


Also, Grogu, huh? Wonder what to do with all that merchandise that's out calling him "The Child" and if even an actual name will stop people from calling him Baby Yoda.

i love the name Grogu but he'll remain baby Yoda.

Also that Beskar staff was brutal. If Mando his anyone with that shit it'll look awesome. Expecting severe recoil and ragdoll physics.

Grogu just makes me think "Groot" + "Yogurt" right now, but maybe it will grow on me

Yoda makes me think of yogurt because that's the character that parodied him in Spaceballs.

GoGurt

I think that may have been my favorite episode of the show so far. The atmosphere and cinematography of this episode was incredible. And I love how they don't waste any time and jump right into Ahsoka just mercing people.

I was always excited for Ahsoka's casting from the start, and never had a problem with the voice actor not being cast. Rosario was 100% on point, and did a great job of mimicing Ahsoka's mannerisms and facial expressions from the animated show.

I wonder if the Thrawn name drop is going to lead into him showing up, or if it was just an easter egg.

I've always had a thing for Rosario. Booker is a lucky sob

I loved that Ashoka was essentially the Predator in her fight scenes.

I got Batman

That’s what everyone is saying. So you’re probably right but I just get things stuck in my head. It was mostly due to her intimidation factor that I went to Predator.... but that also applies to Batman. Either way, as my one buddy said, she was a “force” of nature.

Well





I’m satisfied


Filoni did it well. I hope things go the way I want, but dropping Thrawn in was good.

While everyone rightfully going banana over Ahsoka... I would like to take a minute to shout out the amazing standoff between Mando and Kyle Reese.... fantastic scene as well

Yeah the "Ok come on move your damn hand come on do it" stand off was great. But how the hell did the think he was gonna shot Mando down? Besker can withstand a lightsaber bro. You think a shot from a blaster is gonna do it? It ain't Stormtrooper armor.

He probably fancied himself enough of a hotshot to hit the soft bits inbetween.

He wasn't.

Canon laser shottie tho. That's a first in live action.

Loved how the western standoff juxtaposed the Samurai battle occurring on the other side of the walls. The episode gave me all the feels. Can watch it over and over.

It felt like big-time Star Wars should. Ashoka brings that energy, especially since her character got fleshed out and she grew into a total badass.

Also, the Magistrate was Bruce Lee’s goddaughter.

Well, ya. How else you going to manufacture collector's items except by making all the ones that say "The Child" obsolete?

That was a one hell of an episode. I wonder if we're getting more Ahsoka in future episodes.

Also, how do we feel about Grogu?

Love Grogu.

I think Ahsoka is spinning off into her own series.

That's the feeling I got when she asked about Thrawn. Here's hoping.

I couldn't sleep so I watched the new episode. It's short but sweet :drool:

fucking wish they dumped all the episodes at once sometimes lol

Agreed, though, Rez. Real good ep, again. Robert Rodriguez directed it which is kind of crazy.

Yeah, I noticed that in the credits and immediately searched his IMDB to make sure it wasn't just some director with the same name lol

I think for the "big deal" of this episode (still avoiding spoilers for a bit longer), they needed a director with some gravitas.

Yeah...this episode is one that def needs to be discussed ASAP.

Watching now. Grogu is so damn adorable.

12 mins in and shit just hit the fan baby

the shit-hitting keeps coming.

My gawd this episode is fucking glorious

I want to have sex with all the fan hitting shit

:'(:heart: me too, man....me too

Gina Carano stuffing her chichis into that outfit. She must need my help setting them free

I like how we're all being very courteous right now when really I just want to talk about very prominent plot points.

Was definitely an "oh....well hot damn" type episode.

Hate that we have to wait another week for the next episode. Shit is getting so damn good. That might be my fave episode in the series. Just enough fan service, story progression and a ton of glorious action.

We're saints, really

Wanna spill that tea.

I'm ready to piss out all the tea, honestly.

I say let her rip. There's so many people working from home or could be watching on their mobile during their lunch...

The Fett Man cometh.

The Mandalorian sounds like the gayest shit ever.

Watch Mister Fett give Slave 1 away to Mando..

Alright well let’s get the call rolling Rez, we’ve been considerate enough.

Do you think next ep they’ll double back to what Grogu saw in the vision on the seeing stone?

I think whoever Grogu reached will show up at the end of next week's episode. I have no idea who it could be.

It's hard to tell. I didn't realize there were only 2 episodes left this season!

This next episode is going to revolve around Mando getting that prisoner free. Let me ponder on this for a lil bit for my speculations.

Love that Bill Burr’s name is Migs Mayfeld. Very fitting for some reason.

Also, they took special care to “put” Boba Fett “over.” He was brutal with the violence... similar to the mandalorian armorer. A way to make up for his lacklustre end in the movies. V interesting that they already turned him babyface-ish. I wonder if that’s a matter of not swimming against the tide. People want to cheer Boba and Gus Frader is enough of a dick heel to carry the baddy weight.

ah shit. I didn't even connect the dots...half forgot the Bill Burr episode. I'm an idiot

There was a picture of him lol

I hadn't slept...still haven't actually. ugh

Yeah I wonder if I'm not sleeping well cuz I'm so pumped for Mandalorian lol.

Looks like we're getting a sequel to their Suicide Squad episode.

Boba got the on screen treatment he deserves. What a fucking bad ass. Just destroying helmets. Loved every second of it. Might be favorite one sided massacre since Darth Vader at the end of Rogue One.

I'd say Ahsoka takes the cake in the one-sided massacre--heard people comparing her handiwork to Vader in Rogue 1. But Boba definitely puts in a memorable showing.

Fett did it in the day time open world without 2 sabers, night cover, forest, and fog...just sayin

AND WITHOUT his family armor/weps for half of it.

jfc, i know they're filling in the gaps to the last trilogy but fook..please put the brake pedal down for another season or so...let us enjoy nice things.

I love this show so much. I don't know what the plan is going forward. But color me v interested in how they try to tie this to the new trilogy if at all.

Spoiler alert:

Grogu saw his mother's circumsized penis in his vision.

Think maybe Gideon and co. are working on Snoke

bingo bango...that's why I don't want this show to go shit lol

hopefully Bo-Katan and crew return..need to overthrow dat shit and get her the darksaber?

I miss Grogu

He's so damn adorable

I wonder if we see Djarin's handsome face again

I think they're hinting at Din becoming less of a zealot over time.

Nitpick:

Beyond it being a plot device so that Mando couldn't save Grogu, why the hell did Boba want him to remove his jetpack? Couldn't he just put his gun down?

I thought it was because he can shoot rockets out of it and so he wouldn’t fly away and attack when they put their weapons down?

good explanation.

Both poignant and accurate.

The flute lmao

It begins!

Ahsoka spinoff announced as well as a "Rangers of the New Republic" series. Both set within the time period of Mandalorian.

I'm...concerned to a degree. But it's been a wild ride so far--looking forward to the Ahsoka series at least.

Wonder if Uppa from Kim's Convenience will be in that show as the rebel pilot.

I'm worried about overkill, but I'm holding out hope.

Christensen coming back is bonkers.

A "Lando" series announced as well, time period/actor unknown yet.

As well as a Patty Jenkins' "Rogue Squadron" movie

Plus a series called "The Acolyte" set near the end of the High Republic era

That's what I mean. That's a ton of Star Wars content. Ahsoka would've been fine. Kenobi too.

Disney are going to undo the goodwill created by The Mandalorian by over-saturating the market with Star Wars series.

Yep. I mean I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt cuz Mando is so good. But come the fuck on.

Also new ep of Mando was another banger.

There is some arguments in their favour though. This is SO MUCH over saturation that it’s almost unprecedented. The attempt here is to create converging universes in a day where people are starved for non stop content.

For instance, I know when Mando is done I’ll be like “fuccckkkk I want more Star Wars” and it’ll be nice not to rewatch clone wars, rebels, and the ot over and over to satiate the appetite (srsly fuck all other Star Wars... though I guess I could get the books but reading is for losers.)

It’s like they’re jumping the shark so much that they’re landing in another stratosphere that could make it work.

wtf is the point of a Cara Dune spin off that I heard was in the works?

Din Djarin so handsome!

I see Boba cleaned up his armor

It looked amazing. Like a live action action figure

It looked really good. I liked this episode. Can't wait for the season finale next week.
