Eivion Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Dug episode S3 E2 of Mando. Spoiler Was interesting hearing Bo-Katan and Din go over the history of Mandalore at times. I like how Din speaks of it with reverence while Bo-Katan mostly with disappointment and sadness. They did well with Grogu and his interactions with Bo-Katan. Kind of loved that Bo-Katan could use the Dark saber so damn easily compared to Din. The ending with the Mythosaur in the water was neat. Anyone know who or what the hell it was they were fighting?

J.H. Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Glad to see a bad motivator can be repaired. I like the idea of one model of astromech Droid being fearless (R2-D2) and the other being scared like Claude Cat James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I'm hoping that story detour to the Rehabilitation stuff on Corusant wasn't just filler and pays off later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I assume it plays into the general cloning story stuff they have been talking about in the background of these shows that clearly plays into Palpatine in Rise. Probably a return to Gideon's story as well at some point. Personally I enjoyed all of it just for the look at how the New Republic truly operates, and the emphasis on darker elite/political/bureaucratic aspect of Coruscant that has always existed but been more subtle at times.

J.H. Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 There was about 10 minutes I liked and none of it dealt with Dr. Idontgiveafuckabout. I love Bo-Katan now being [REDACTED] James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 About midway through the episode my wife asked me if we were still watching The Mandalorian. I had to think for a second to make sure it wasn't Andor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I liked the episode, I think why I enjoyed Andor so much was the amount of ‘man on the street’ stuff. I’d be all in on a straightforward Star Wars soap opera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I loved the episode. It's rare we get stories that are that down to the street level in Star Wars. I'm not the least bit surprised that the New Republic is/was that fucking stupid, but a bunch of them getting blown away by Starkiller should have been enough. I mean, dismantling and trashing both Imperial AND Republic ships? How fucking dumb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I mean, the entire plot of the Disney Trilogy only works if everyone involved was barely intelligent enough to remember to breathe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I always have a tendency to think all sci-fi would be better if writers and showrunners watched the Expanse, but Star Wars would be infinitely better if some of these people doing the movies would sit down and watch the Expanse. Break up Star Wars governments into the shitty fascist Empire/First Order, the inept New Republic, and non-aligned planets that either want a piece of the pie or want nothing to do with either galactic government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried this in the MMO. And while we the players loved it, it didn't last and we're back to the duality of everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Ok, I didn't see Ahmed Best showing up playing the Jedi that got Grogu off Coursant, but I'm for it. Looks like Bo is falling into the Way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Good to finally see how Grogu was saved. Kind of like Bo is fitting in. Her conversation with the Armorer at the end was interesting. Couldn't tell if the Armorer believed her or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I loved Chapter 20! All those armored badasses mounting up to go save that kid. Bo Katan getting more entrenched into The Watch... I love tbis show! James 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Heartwarming to see them bring in Ahmed Best after all the bullshit he faced. Loving the Bo Katan storyline of her Mythosaur sighting forcing her to rethink her entire life. Edited March 24 by Technico Support 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 S3E5C21 - Finally, clues to an antagonist. Also... TIM MEADOWS! Between this and his fun episode of Poker Face, Meadows might be in the middle of a mini-rebirth Goid episode overall James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Tim Meadows was fun surprise, and the action was solid. Curious to see where things are going after the final scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Zeb Orrelios!! I echo the Tim Meadows love. Greef looked to have gotten a bit of humility. Would Cara Dune have possibly been on the transport ship? I did get a laugh from the talking stick bit, or hammer if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 So, the Lambda shuttle with Gideon on it was either 1) attacked by anotber Manalirian clan or 2) attacked by beskar molded dark troopers Right? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I kinda like Faverau and Filoni retconing how the First Order came about because the New Repbulic was as fucking inept as the Old One and just let shit get bad because they couldn't handle their shit post war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we just all assumed, but haven't actually seen the complete incompetence on screen. I'm also gonna guess the beskar on the shuttle are upgraded Dark Troopers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
