Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Spoilers)

yeah.. they stretch that out perfectly.
The CGI wasn't half bad either.

My only problem is with

Just watched the finale...


1. I knew what was coming as soon as the...
ship...appeared.

2. The following action sequence was pretty good, even if the antagonists folded like discount lawn chairs.

3. The likeness was good, but there was still a bit of uncanny valley to overcome. I'd say no improvement over Rogue One. And the character seemed too young.

4. The character came across as being a video game NPC.

5. Bo and Mando go into a room alone. A few minutes later, they come out, Bo holding the trinket, and Mando says "Man, she really kicked my ass in there." Problem solved.

6. Liked the Starktrooper Terminators.

7. The recreation in the post credit sequence was very solid. Don't know that I'm all that enthused about what it portends, though.

8. True to form, this is an ep where Mando goes somewhere and the story is resolved in an action set piece.

You know that’s not gonna happen.

As soon as I saw...



I knew it was Luke.



"One X-Wing... great, we're saved" She had no idea how right she was.

The only thing that bugged me about Luke, he looks too young for this to have happened about five years after RotJ.



He looks younger than he did here.

And, this a rather odd pose to be taking in an empty room. They killed everyone in there except the dancer girl.

Force facelift and hair dye like his Last Jedi projection.

Striking a pose for...no audience. I feel like there should be a TV Trope for this.

Fuck yeah from the moment that XWing appeared that was great.

When I saw the X-wing, I was convinced it was this guy flying in to save the day somehow:

Some jackhole on Facebook posted a very spoilery screencap early this morning, so the biggest surprise from the season finale was ruined for me hours and hours before I had the chance to see the episode.
But I was still giddy with excitement when a particular ship appeared on the scene.

Sorry that Bib Fortuna's appearance was spoiled for you.

Don't go on fuckin' Facebook when there's shit you don't want spoiled.


Hasn't every Star Wars movies since 2015, and every Marvel movie since 2012, and every season of Game Of Thrones taught you fuckin' anything?

My breaking point was a few years ago when the Walking Dead page on Facebook posted with the headline "RIP Beth"...several hours before the episode wherein Beth died aired on the west coast. F*****s!

I wish someone had just shot Moff Gideon in the face when he was bragging about how he was the only one was likely to come out of the thing alive.

Not really, but also Snape kills Dumbledore.



"(and I suck at driving my mom's minivan)" is the best quote

Honestly i think it’s so sad your mind even goes here

Enjoy it for what it is

Luke fricking Skywalker kicking some ass and taking baby Yoda as a padawan. Man that’s awesome

Anyways enough with diacanu, that episode was fucking awesome but i have no idea where it goes from here. Can’t wait to find out though

It was definitely cool to see Luke in action, and I may have had a little chub when I saw the X-Wing.

But the CGI was fucking awful. Worse than Rogue One.

I'd bet big money that within a few weeks, some Youtube nerd is going to a deepfake that will be 1,000% better than what Disney did.

I just want to know who approved those FX. Disney is a multi-billion dollar titan of entertainment and some sixteen-year-old in his mom's basement with a laptop could probably do better.

I can do both.

The friends I keep are not prone to discussing spoilers when a show has been out for three hours. This was an aberration.

It's funny because it should have been pretty eminently predictable. Pretty much everyone watching this series knows that Grogu was sent to a special Jedi place to reach out to any Jedi out there. And further, that there was only one living true Jedi that we know of in this time period. If it weren't for, "hey, how can 30-something Luke appear when Mark Hamill's old now?" it should have been obvious.

I haven't read much about Mandalorian stuff, so maybe people were really widely predicting it. I personally didn't until the X-Wing showed up consciously think about Luke himself actually showing up on screen let alone wrecking shop.

Just so we’re clear. This means Kylo Ren kills baby Yoda in a few years.

Appa!!!!

What actually happened was that Grogu stole an X-Wing, flew to Dannus 5, met the Guardian of Forever, went back in time and became Yoda proper.

Indeed, even without spoilers and even if Luke didn't cross your mind, when the dark troopers re-boarded the ship it was a given that whatever Jedi responded to Grogu was about to show up and save everyone.

Yeah, the only other established living Jedi is Ezra... and they aren't going to throw away the entire premise of the Ahsoka series to wrap this one up.

Arguably, it could have been Ahsoka again though.

... Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are de-canonizing Episodes VII through IX?

Yes!!!!!

TBH, I'd rather it had been, and that Grogu was somehow tied to her search for Ezra that'll be the McGuffin of that first season.
Her position within the whole Force balancing act (since her resurrection by the Light Side of all things) has never really been explored. Obviously she's not there to balance it, but rather could act as avatar for the one side.
