@kelvin - Is Bad Batch worth a watch? I'm pretty sure I started it with child no.1 but don't recall the story or how it meshes with the broader story.
I've enjoyed both Bad Batch series... but then I'm a bit of big kid.
I've got a bit behind in my viewing but have realised I now have Mando ep2, Picard Ep4 and the latest Last of Us for tonight's viewing. Win.
Bad Batch is great, today's Crosshair episode was on top form.
Mando was also great, Star Wars is spoiling us at the moment 😀
Excellent start, great ending, the 40 minutes in the middle was boring, it's supposed to be the Mandalorian not the socially anxious ex dodgy scientist.
Agree, that was a bit of a slog and so obvious what was going to happen.
That was hard work. I know they need to build a back story for the future enemy but that was too much. The acting was on a par with the mods from Boba and the ‘twist’ was so obvious.
Let’s hope the Mandalorian features the Mandalorian more!
Edit: what’s to stop Mando folk taking their helmets off to scratch their nose then just popping over to the no-longer-lost living waters for a splash so they can rejoin the cult?

Or when getting amorous.
Liked the start with the TIEs but after that it was pretty meh.
Bad batch was a poor episode this week after a great one last week.
Hopefully they'll both pickup next week.
In Chrome type in The Mandalorian and wait for the pop up.
Well I enjoyed it. It’s clearly opening up a new story arc.

Disagree, I thought the impending sense of doom was great. Just as they decide to settle down it will all kick off in a big way.

I'm gonna say that's a 'helmet on' type of affair. Kinky.
The way that the episode just went off and did something completely different for 2/3rds of its run time didn't work for me. I didn't much like it when the Book of Boba Fett separated its "now" and flashback parts in the same way, but this was sort of more disappointing, as I am more invested in Mando's story than I was in either of Fett's so being pulled away from it was more annoying.
I'm guessing the cloning guy will end up being the guy that resurrects Palpatine
The train scene has to be a nod to Final Fantasy VII
Agree! There were a few other shots that looked like FFVII and I enjoyed that a lot.
Just finished watching S3/E3 and it’s chock-full of the good bits of Star Wars! Something is afoot Dun-Dun-Dun!

+1
Bit clunky and not what I come to The Mandalorian for.
Should be classic Star Wars action, not half-baked political commentary.
Did anyone else get flashbacks to Starbuck fighting Cylons during the opening dog fight? There were definite nods in how it was filmed, I loved it. The cloning scientist story was not bad, feels like it's dove tailing with the bad batch despite the differing timelines.
I really enjoyed the episode - I certainly didn't feel it was too long. I do always get a tingle down my spine when I see TIE Fighters though - it takes me back to ten year old me seeing Star Wars for the first time in the cinema when it first came out.
Now that was more like it, light sabres, more Mandos than you could shake a stick at and Grogu back story.
Is it just me that could easily watch an hour of Grogu walking and playing with rocks?
Apparently that jedi in the backstory bit was the guy who voiced jar jar binks.
I thought his voice sounded familiar
How to train your Mandolorian.
🤣

It was, I think its quite nice of them to get him back for this after all the crap he got for playing Jar Jar the way he was asked to. I'm sure he nearly took his own life after all the hastle he got.
Back on form 👍

...and playing a badass Jedi too. Poetic.
Watching today’s episode. I’m reminded that you never see anyone reading in the Star Wars universe…
Not seen this week's episode yet but...

Wasn't there that guy in Andor who was writing a rebellion manifesto?
No massive fan of any of the Marvel / Star Wars universe but Mando is 10/10 for me. Reminds me of Firefly/Serenity which I enjoyed too. The end credits art and detail is amazing, would love to see an animated version in that style. This is the way.
Oooh! That was a very good episode the story is unfolding.
Cracking episode
I might have involuntarily shouted a characters name at the TV tonight....
I just smiled. Last of his people.
They can’t have had him at the fly base just for that scene… he was far to well realised… something’s coming…
One of my all time favourite Star Wars characters. I’m still hoping to see Chopper, the best droid in all Star Wars.
The only show on TV I'll leave the credits running just so I can listen to the theme.
I haven't seen enough of the animated stuff to get a lot of the deep cuts that a lot of folk here seem to enjoy but I love the show for what it is.
My fave bit this week was the armourer being a badass.

Wasn't the last though. He was last seen on Lira San.
Was it Zeb last night? It was certainly the same voice. A set up for the Ashoka series? Like the Perguiles a few episodes ago?
