I would largely agree although I thought solo was good and Last Jedi was easily the best of the sequels why they didnt come up with a story for all 3 before they started I will never understand.
The main problem with the sequels on my opinion is that the effects haven’t aged well at all. They look like something the sci-fi channel would throw out. That and Vader lost all the menace when you found out he was called Ani. No wonder he’s pissed off, he’s a galaxy far, far away equivalent to a boy named Sue
For me the love for Force Awakens is total. It’s a cleaned up less weepy/****y Star Wars 1.
Brilliant.
why they didnt come up with a story for all 3 before they started
That's the nub of it.
Seemed like it was plotted by focus group. Whereas The Mandolorian has been superbly plotted and executed, despite having multiple directors.
If only Favreau had been tapped up instead of JJ in the first place.

It'll be rebooted in a few years.
Biggest issue with all the recent movies beyond the obvious is casting.
Baby Yoda is an animatronic and walks all over the entire cast of anything recent inc Ewan M.
Many very talented people in their own right but when bundled into a franchise they just look like they are trying to hard / were placed to make as many people as possible happy, ultimately making nobody happy. E.g Donnie Yen is awesome but that beach scene was so stupid. In any other movie he would have wiped out the whole beach himself IP Man style.
The Mandalorian has revived my interest in Star Wars after the being let down by the film sequels and wish every episode was longer. Really intriqued in how they used led screens and gaming imagery to make it too.
Just watched E1S2. Random set piece episodes continue...
cynic-al stick with it. There are a few a-team like episodes still but the story arc has been great including some brilliant clone wars appearances. This is the way.
Hoping for a Boy George guest spot in series 3 🙂
Cheers, I will, I'm not paying for it! 😁
oh hello Barry Norman's back....
gobuchul
Apparently he used his jetpack.
As that dates from a book published in 1996 it would appear to be Legends material. The canonical explanation for how Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc is currently unknown. It may end up following the Legends story (which seems to expand on the brief details about it in the Dark Empire Sourcebook, in that Boba Fett made his own exit rather than trying to get out through the Sarlacc's mouth) or it could end up being something different.
One difference between the details provided in the Dark Empire Sourcebook and the A Barve Like That story is that in the latter Boba Fett left the Sarlacc alone for at least a year after escaping it, but the former describes him as nuking it as soon as he had recovered from his injuries.
Wow. That was fun. Watch to the end!
Well that wasn't who I was expecting to see at the end of season 2....
Busy today so won't see it until this evening.
Lots of 10 star scores on IMDB so fingers crossed.
Excellent episode. The last eight weeks have gone by way too quickly. Need more Mando 😕
Just watched with the boy, we were both on the edge of our seats shouting at the tv. Awesome episode
One X wing, that took a second then I went Ooohhhhh Yeaaaaaa
That episode is a proper wink to battlestar!! Loved it.
Best thing ever in the history of things . There is a post credits scene so make sure you watch till the end .
Post credit scene made my day. Now that’s a spin off I was desperate to see!!
Disney are not messing around, after royally cocking up the sequels they really seem to have listened to the people who actually like Star Wars.
One X wing, that took a second
Yeah me too, about a whole second, didn't think they'd have the balls, and bringing his mate as well.
Do you think there is any chance the sequels could be decannonised, this post original trilogy time line is a lot better.
And the post credits bit, it's so long to wait.
I think that's the first time I've ever cried at star wars.
Absolutely-****inglutely-flawless. (excuse my tmesis)
It just occurred to me that the main fighting team boarding the imperial ship were all-female and they didn't make a big deal out of it. Feels classy to me.
Is that it for Mando then?
EDIT: never mind, there seems to be a S3 on IMDB. This makes me happy.
Well now I’ve watched this tonight will be Haywire for Gina and TheGreat Wall for Pedro. (Started watching Grand Tour and though no.)
Best Star Wars for 35 years and one spin off already confirmed. This is well worth a subscription to Disney.
Avoiding saying more due to spoilers.
So so good.
Finally a set of scenes that do powerful characters justice.
Awesome
Ten minutes of thinking “nah it can’t be”. But it is. Brilliant
That was the business.
ACE !
MrsF now wants to watch the lot (Mandlorian), and she has no interest in the main story... this is going to be hard.... NOT.....
Your man Pedro was in a Sci-Fi film called Prospect that was pretty decent in a alternative/indie sort of way!
😮
Meh
Filler
Also, the post credit are not to be missed, I only saw them because I was too lazy to turn over.
Holy crapola that was excellent.
That was brilliant. Got a chill down my spine as the hooded person walked down the corridor for the first time, took a few seconds to click about the 'one x-wing?' bit...
I honestly thought Mandalorian was much later than 5 years after episode 6, given that they all have almost no knowledge of the Jedi.
Bloody awesome.
Awesome. Before the X wing landed i said to Jnr, "Thats..." "Dont be ridiculous Daddy" he said. You should have seen his face...
Squeeeeee! That was ace!
Awesome. Not gonna lie there was a lump in my through at the end!
Perfect.
Absolutely awesome finale! Loved it. Mandalorian has been excellent, even the wife is glued to it. Cant wait to see the next series and all the other spin offs that are coming.
That little extra at the end post credits...yayy!
I thought the second well loved character appearing was a bit too much fan service but then the end credits pulled it back.
Overall bloody awesome!

Don't forget that most of the Jedi (bar a couple) were killed of in Episode 3, Obi Wan went into hiding on Tattoine to keep an eye on young Skywalker, Mace fell out of the Windu and Anakin slaughtered most of the those in the Temple.
So between Episode 3 and this is a good few years, so since the Jedi have been gone/hiding for 20 odd years not surprising that they've been forgotten about.
Oh and that episode tonight was awesome!!
Didn't think they'd do it,but it worked, and the spin off that's coming!!! Best character ever!!
