Just got to watch it, wife had to pony out I was literally sitting on edge of my seat
Will looks up who the actor was
So good!
I also want to point out, how good was all female crew, shows you can just writes kickarse female characters
I’ve said this before but Storm Troopers are just horrifically shit at combat. Any main character vaguely worth his or her salt can take out loads at a time while not breaking a sweat.
I hope the Boba show has him against some formidable bounty hunters and other creatures and that stormtroopers barely make an appearance
Good for Tem that he's gonna pull a SW cheque in his later years

Just saw an interesting theory on Insta
Someone pointed out that r2d2 and grogu seemed to have a reaction to each other, is r2 the one that saved him from the temple, anyone remember where he was when shit went down?

My son was wondering that as well.

So just binge watched end of S1 and all of S2 of the Mandalorian over the last couple of days. All I can say is that THIS is Star Wars. It was clearly written by people who not only get and love SW, but can actually develop a great plot and, most importantly, great characters.
Funny how the same people who apparently only hated the sequel trilogy because of misogyny and racism are now fapping wildly over a series with minorities in pretty much every major role and strong asskicking females everywhere.
My only quibble is how clueless people seem to be about the Jedi. It’s not like this was ancient history and they hid in the shadows. But this kind of thing can be forgiven with great characters and storylines. Now all they have to do is retcon the sequels and my journey back from the Dark Side will be complete.

Hispanics, Black Dudes, Asian chicks.......fuck it even has Maoris and bald gingas !
In terms of the Jedi and lack of knowledge I can only assume the Empire had a massive propoganda team who wiped all trace of them from existence ?

Maybe, what I thought was really good was how you had the hard core Empire loyalists spouting off about how great the Empire was. Explains how it could be preserved and how it wasn’t just the Emperor and Vader and a bunch of storm troopers. Trouble is that it makes a cartoon villain like Hux look even more absurd. Fark Favreau et al are showing up the morons behind the sequels.
Obviously small sample size but was at at Boxing Day bbq and mentioned that I’d be reclining on the sofa most of the day binging on the Mandalorian. Several others mentioned how good it was and how much better it was than the sequels and then some of the kids piped up and said the same thing. It seems a lot of kids are indifferent to SW these days because there is so much competition from Marvel and computer games. You need your Mandos, Bobas, Caras etc to compete. Astonishingly enough, the likes of Rose, Holdo, grumpy Luke, and woefully underdeveloped Rey, Finn and Poe don’t seem to cut it.

Add IG 11, Kuill, Greef Carga, Fennec, the female Mandos the Marshall and of course baby Yoda as genuinely compelling new characters. That’s not even counting the ones who have been brought back.
New trilogy doesn’t compare, someone should have told a Finn that running round shouting ‘Rey’ a lot isn’t cool.....and I’ve already given my thoughts on the other shite characters.

Rogue One had some very cool characters (particularly the droid) but they killed all of them. Hopefully the droid is in the new show because not a fan of the Mexican main dude.

Such a racist bigot.
I wonder if @Virgil is on the Mando bandwagon or if he’s still playing with his Finn, Rose and Holdo figures ?

We went over this idea a while back and think we all agreed to disagree
I’m with you, think it’s weird how little mando knows, especially give he travels to different planets unlike those confined to one. We saw the explosion of the Death Star broadcast in the bar of a forgotten town on tattoine...and the details of what happened never followed this? People just accepted the empire had fallen and had no questions
Others disagree
I’m happy to look past it because of all the other awesome stuff The Mando has brough us

You got me there. He’s actually a really physically imposing and charismatic character. He’s the new Han! But I just can’t abide him being from Mehico. Same with Rose too. Such an awesome well developed and vital character. But she’s female and Asian and thus is hated exclusively for those reasons.
I’m assuming he’s awol after having his mind blown by the Mandalorian!
