@MN5 I have to watch it because of the kids but some cameos might improve it. Snoop with a doobie would be difficult to explain the the kids.
Fo shizzle.

To get back to the actual show, and quality of the show, I find it weird how much hate this episode is getting (more refereeing to online in general as opposed to on the Fern). More because the series has always been an overarching arc with task of the week episodes. This one didn't seem any different to me, but then I don't hold S1 & S2 as sacrosanct as some fans do. It really was like most episodes, they flew to a planet, performed a task that involved some action, then got to their goal of meeting with the Mandos.
If you told me before I watched that Jack Black Black and ( I don’t even know her name ) would be in it chances are I would have hated it out of principle but it was still great fun. They played their rich dickhead parts quite well overall I thought.
I’m still struggling a bit as to what the whole point of this season is though to be honest despite how good it has been at times.
There is no point to it that's the problem. There is no plan, they just change and make this shit up as they go. The last episode of S2 was amazing. Luke comes and Grogu says goodbye. But Disney doesn't want to lose that Baby Joda cash cow so they bring the little fella back to sell more merch. The fact that you have to win the dark saber through combat also set up an intriguing conflict between Mando and BK. But nah he just hands it back after she saves his arse the entire series. If people find it entertaining that's great, but there are legitimate criticisms and the lack of an overarching plan certainly is one of them. Something that's really jarring is the fact they binned the EU but Ashoka's arc is based hugely on the Heir to an Empire story. Why they didn't just use this amazing source material from the beginning is beyond me.

There is a plan though. It may be being clunkily executed but it is a plan all the same. CW/ Rebels/ Mando/ Bad Batch/ OWK stories are all connected and very much point toward the Emperor's cloning programme.
Apart from introducing Thrawn into live action there is hardly a smattering of Heir to the Empire. In fact most SW fans are pissed of that Filoni has taken Zahn's characters to use for his own story.
I would be rapt if they really had gone down the Thrawn trilogy path. It was the obvious sequel trilogy. The problem as Disney saw it was recasting the main characters.
For me the problem is the uneven-ness of the various shows and styles and how the crossovers seem unnecessary or diversions from each series as a standalone. -
@Crucial yeah, thats starting to become more clear, theyre really committing to using the TV shows to make the sequel less shit, to fill some of those plot holes.
it makes SOME sense....just feels like theyre spread too thin across too many shows. I wish all these stories we're under one title , "Star Wars - New Republic" or something, and then they could do small 3-4 episode arcs following difference charaters....very much like they did for The Clone Wars, get rid of some of the chaff and keep the core stories

I’m here for this, leave all the skywalker stuff behind, hope to see a dude slowly works out what he can do, maybe “drawn” to that planet where they get the kyber crystals, stumbling across someone else doing the same thing from the dark side of things, an arms race to become force users…if they can commit to enough movies for it to be believable, maybe get what we missed out on with Luke….a force Demi god…striding into battle no fucks given etc

Imagine how incredible his fighting skills will be and the improvement in tech, going back 25000 years ago - I mean the progress from #4-6 to #1-3 was BIG, and that was only 20 years backwards!

I assume you mean fans of the books rather most SW fans.
I'd say most have probably never heard of the books.

@Machpants id be happy if we got stuff from the KotOR games, personal shields so people use vibroblades (dune rip off)...maybe thats what starts the main character trying to make a new type of blade, looking for the kyber crystals and developing his skills with the force on the way

Really, really good trilogy. Well worth a read to imagine where they could have gone.
