Loved the way season 1 finished, hoped Season 2 would pick back up with it but seems to have gone back to the Stargate SG1 style of new planet, quick skirmish and off we go.
Saying that, will have the second episode on this evening!
Thanks @twistedpencil
We went for the originals first, didn't want anything to spoil the surprise. Had new hope last weekend and empire last night.
Had the six year old asking me, "Dad, is he really his dad?" Last night and this morning so it's all good. We'll watch Jedi next to finish that trilogy, then jump back in time.
And it's Mando day again, which is great.
It definitely didn't disappoint.
To avoid being stuck to the election last night I re-watched Force Awakens for some reason.
Damn I love that film. Just a total remake of my favourite Star Wars (although it got knocked off the top step by Rogue One.).
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
Right back to doing some work/book keeping.
my teenage daughter and I have been mini-binging Clone Wars every Thursday since the start of the first lockdown. It's fab. Some of the stories are a bit heavy on the politics but season 4 is magnificent.
Ahsoka Tano is by far the best character. Looking forward to her appearing in the Mandalorian.
(I bought a projector and a massive screen in time for the start of this season)
Also, anyone who thinks the Mandalorian is dull must be an amoeba 😉
Looking forward to Mando and Discovery tonight !
Not one for arachnophobes!
Ahsoka Tano is by far the best character.
Have you seen Rebels, I almost cried when she showed up in that!!
Todays episode had those spider things like were on the planet in Rebels where the had the secret base.

I was just thinking that I really like the way they've done lots of stuff with models and prosthetics rather than CGI. THen I watched this week's episode. I did not enjoy the CGI in this episode.
The missus didn't enjoy tonights episode as she hate spiders! Good episode though they seem to have stole foreboding eggs from Alien. Loved Assasin droid briefly firing into life too
Best bit was baby Yoda eating the eggs, felt a bit like a filler episode, like episode 2, but it had X wings so all good.
Filler agreed
Katee Sackhoff!!!!
Good one. Not a filler episode. No spoilers from me though.
Apart from the previous post?
Sorry! But I didn’t mention she is a Jedi who went to the dark side did I? Oops.
* may not be true.
Watched the first 4 episodes of S1 and never truly took to them. Watched them a second time with my son and again, found it significantly underwhelming. Can't put my finger on why - it's jsut kind of dull. However, will wrap the series up at some time but not in any rush.
Re The Rise of SkyWalker, I watched the first 45 mins 6 months ago and didn't connect with it. Watched it again a fortnight later and found it pulling me in, so much so that I loved it. Sure, the second half may seem contrived to some but I didn't give a monkey - it was just bloody good fun.
Agreed, no filler there. Good healthy family fun, good versus evil, short term gratification with long story arc payoff, guest stars, explosions, cool spaceships.
And eastereggs.
That was a great episode 👍🏼
Brilliant episode. Katee Sakhoff and Titus Welliver in one episode; awesome.
Shaping into another fab season. I’m actually re-watching Rebels right now and Ahsoka, Lando, Tarkin and Vader have showed up. Still good. If you’ve not seen it, I’d say it’s even better than Clone Wars.
Just getting to the end of Clone Wars so really appreciating Mando at the moment.
Harry Bosch commanding an imperial freighter this week, nice
And if this week's episode was telling the truth Ahsoka Tano next week.
I was a bit so-so about the first season but I think the second is quite a bit better, it feels grittier to me. Loving the casting as well, hopefully we'll have Al Swearengen next week.
In a similar universe
Friday was a big evening in the Oddie household as it was the Mando-WWE crossover episode with WWE star Sasha Banks (real name Mercedes Varnado) in it...
WWE star Sasha Banks (real name Mercedes Varnado)
Erm, her real name is waaaaay cooler than her stage name.
Great episode wasn't it? I wonder if those who feel underwhelmed may be younger, and thus not revelling in all the cinematic and TV references?
It's a masterful genre pastiche, showing up JJ's Star Wars films for the lightweight shit that they were.
I was quite appointed about the 1st series - watched it all 4 times.
Sadly, the 2nd season, so far, sees me less than whelmed.
Timothy Olyphant as The Marshall
Doh, thought he looked familiar - didn't recognise him with hair though!
Season 2 seems good so far to me, it's far from perfect but it's entertaining
Really like it. Never been that hooked by star wars (3 ok films, 3 awful films, 3 ok films), but Mandalorian has been fun
Todays was certainly full of intrigue!!
I was disappointed by the most recent episode.
Still loving it. Couldn't care less about story arcs or whether episodes are 'fillers'. Far worse on tv to waste time on...folks expectations seem incredibly high for what is just fictional entertainment 🤷
I was disappointed by the most recent episode.
What?
The story just got massive!!!
I can’t see anyone disliking this week’s ep. Loved it.

Is it her is she the jedi...dont spoil it....runs away from thread
I simply never thought I could really accept seeing Leslie Ash as a rogue Stormtrooper but I was wrong. Ed Sheerean's cameo was pure gold as he referenced his GOT role.
Meh

Best Star Wars since Empire

Tough crowd. I thought it was great
So Mando to find Ezra then?
Whoa back on track.
Loved it. Not as action packed as kicking Storm Troopers lst week, but was great !
That was probably my favourite episode. Love how they introduced Ahsoka and it had a great samurai vibe to the whole episode. Think Ezra could be a good shout. Can’t really think of any other character who’s a Jedi unless they introduce someone new.
That was excellent. I hope we get to see more of Ahsoka.
