The Mandalorian - Disney+ *Could Contain Spoilers*

[Sauromosis]

This show is better than all the Disney Star Wars movies combined. They should remake the sequel trilogy with Jon Favreau in charge.

Filoni is the secret sauce.

Filoni is great and he understands Star Wars but he gets a little too obsessed with boring clones and his episodes tend to be repetitive. Favreau kicked off the MCU with Iron Man and he's the guy I want in charge of Star Wars.

I had a vague recollection of this character from the Clone Wars, but since I binged that whole series it mostly went in one ear and out the other.  I do remember the story arc being one of the more interesting ones, so I may go back and revisit that.

I just want to know what the "story group" was doing while the last three movies came out.  If that's the best they could come up with they should have all been fired.  It can't be that hard to find replacements with equal or higher knowledge and creativity than what we've seen.

[Sauromosis]

There was a story group and it was 20 something people and the majority were women and there was a lot of diversity in the group. And that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that but this group did not understand Star Wars at a very basic level of what's cool. What's cool is aliens, lightsabers, blasters, ships, the force, sith, mysticism, and all that. 

They created boring characters and put them in boring situations. The humor was lame and not Star Wars humor. And the directors that they chose completely fumbled the ball and told a really stupid story that didn't logically make sense.

And also the ship designs were so lame that by the third film they just ended up using the old ones...just one example.

I just binged the first three eps of the second season last night. I just loved Appa (from Kim's Convenience) as an X-wing pilot. This show is great.

When I saw him, I screamed to my wife, “That’s Appa!”
 

Kim’s Convenience is a great show too.

Also Sasha Banks from the WWE was "Koska Reeves." I thought she did a good job.

I mean, did she even speak? Lol.

too bad Pre Vizsla (Favreau) isn’t still around. That was an interesting character arc.

She was the sister of Obi Wan's (not)girlfriend from CW

They were busy coming up with ways to explain / retcon the Disney trilogy

And how to make Rey the most powerful force-user in the universe.  Step aside Bendu you've got nothing on Rey.  Of course, the writers for the sequel trilogy would say, "Ben who?"

Ben who? You must mean Ben Solo.

Duh Ben was the guy who invented electricity by flying a kite.  

Now let's go back discussing how to add dinosaurs to Star Wars

Eh, I guess my post would not make sense without this real image from SW writer rooms' brainstorm session.  I was trying to emulate one of those "writer" during one of these sessions

Yeah, I've seen that as part of the High Republic story board

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My wife and I enjoyed this episode a lot. Fun fact: Bryce Dallas Howard directed this and also Season 1 episode of "Sanctuary" featuring that creepy AT-ST and introducing Cara Dune. She has a knack for setting up episodes with great characters being introduced and also some more emotional moments too.  I just read that she once had a dinner with her father, George Lucas, and Akira Kurosawa as a kid. Holy moly.

[Mark Twain]

Wow, this season gets better and better. Carl Weathers directed this episode!

Pretty cool where this narrative is going. I remember playing Star Wars: Dark Forces in the 90s and the last scene with Moff Gideon just reminds me of the Dark Troopers in the game and may inspire the design of his army.

[Sauromosis]

Yeah, pretty good episode. Were those early Snoke versions in the tanks? Was baby Yoda used to create Snoke and Palatine's future body?

think so lol

so much for the theory of them taking episode 7 8 9 into the alternate reality timeline to the dust bin of history guess that means George Lucas is not coming back to run Lucas Film

At this point, this show should be called "Guest stars of the week, featuring baby Yoda & Mandalorian"

Still good episode, but the main stars were clearly Apollo Creed & Cara Dune

This show makes you like the New Republic a lot less, doesn’t it?

The pilot at the end - what an ass. Did you lose anyone on Alderaan? What else would her answer be?

[Jbad87]

That's why they shouldn't use X wing pilots as space police or space detectives. Fighter pilots lack that interpersonal skill set required to deal with individuals that have suffered the loss of their home planet. Now a transport pilot would be perfect for the task, they get along with everyone.

the galaxy is so freakin big...what is the point of 2 X-wings "doing patrols"...even during Empire's heyday there was never a couple of Ties flying around

when considering scale..that's like a single highway patrol car in our entire solar system

we are probably reading way too much into it...I guess I should be glad writers are even attempting at explaining the logistics of a whole galaxy being converted
