However i wouldnt put the first order and the empire on the same level. The empire is like a government which on paper you can get behind some of their ideas whilst the first order are just ment to be straight up space nazis
Ironically lucas wanted the empire to be space nazis but after spin offs and books etc its clear they arent space nazis and instead just a very vile and despicable government whilst the first order are literally just space nazis
They brain zapped Preshing cuz he was linked to Project Palpy, think they wont get rid of Gideon too? He came too close to going to trial.
The zap was a memory wipe device, it wasnt ment to hurt the doctor, the new republic werent torturing him. it only seems to have because of the (probably) imperial spy
In fact in the episode before the dial is turned up its very evident that the feeling of the zap machine is actually very pleasant for the doctor. We see him relax and smile a little
Till Kane amps it up.
Man's probably a vegetable now.
So apparently, Rey's father is a failed, Forceless clone of Palpy. That is...reassuring.
I got a quesiton.
Question.
Does the republic not have lie detector tests? When the lady goes in and does her interview with the robot, you're telling me there is no way they could hook some shit up to her and see if she's lying, especially with all the tec they have?
dont think lie detectors exist in star wars beyond force users being able to read you
So we have all this shit.
and if they do they can probably be scammed like in real life, its a reason why lie detector results cant be used in court
We got cybernetics to the point of being able to live with just a orgas.
organs
We got sentient driods..
also it'd shorten down like 75% of all star wars if lie detectors existed
now that would be lazy writing
Fair enough
you seem to be one to bitch about lazy writing (despite there being little) and then give the most lazy possible events
It's logical.
If you're trying to imply logical writting is lazy because it can't be drawn out, we have no reason to debate writting methods because we see shit differently.
@storm garden im watching the first of the 2 finale bad batch episodes. do u recon Phee likes tech
she seems to be especially interested in him also giving him a nickname
"Character shouldn't do X because we then couldn't have an action scene" to me isn't the best writing.
Now if you explain why a character doesn't do an action, fair enough.
no reason and yet you're still talking
*you're.
we can do this convo in portuguese if u want to make fun of someone elses non mother tounge
exactly.
im saying mocking someones 2nd language is pretty stupid when you dont even speak their first
Like I'm not trying to mock you're English I'm genuinely confused by what you are trying to say.
i mean the "you're" comment thats all
anyway
@storm garden are we the only ones who care about the bad batch?
A lie detector was a device that could be used to verify the truth by scanning a sentient being for any biological indicators of possible lying. ISB Agent Alecia Beck had a prosthetic eye that featured a thermal mode, pulse rate and respiration's scanner that could be used as a makeshift lie detector. Smuggler's Run: A Han Solo & Chewbacca Adven...
It's says it's in cannon.
read it. "thermal mode, pulse rate and respiration scanner"... what we have right now lmao
So, we can't atleast deploy that just to be sure?
their lie detectors can be faked or disingenious like we have now
no, there is a reason lie detectors arent admissable in a court. its because they're incredibly easy to trick
That's irl this is Star Wars
There is no sound and space, we should't hear shooting
Ships should be on fire.
there being a lot of tech doesnt mean everything is possible, there is no teleportation device in star wars, hell their communication devices are pretty basic other than holograms, their computers are akin to that of the early 20th century
There are no teleportation devices Irl either.
So what's you
take season 2 of the mandalorian for example, when they're infultrating an imperial base to find grogus location. the cameras they have are shitty quality and in black and white
Yes, but we also have sentient robots.
reading this conversation is costing me braincells
what? there is no light speed travel irl. im saying not everything is possible just because its a sci-fi world or galaxy rather
Dunno for sure. Just seems that way.
did u read my previous comment?
.
But it just feels like the idea of the Republican not deploying any sort of cavoit for the possibility of the captured troops to lie during the interviews is kind of silly.
i feel like im arguing with a child. their lie dectors are like ours and so they can be faked, which is why they likely arent used
its really not a hard concept to understand
ive said this like 3 times
So why not try something else.
Like you're acting like them simply asking "Are you betraying us" and taking there word for it isn't silly.
Yeah, i think she likes him. Dunno why, he's kind of an introvert vulcan.
Hell, the scientist was shaking in his boots, and they still believed him.
The lie detectors are better than nothing man.
im introverted whats the problem with that
Way better.
I dont think he even wants to reciprocate the feelings.
yeah thats what i thought
tho he does seem a little flustered around her
and she flirts with him a lot
Dude is hooked to his datapad like Echo is to his scomp arm, almost.
What episode was this?
yeah but whenever talking to her he is far more awkward than when talking to anyone else
Its on par with Clone wars, i'd say.
ive enjoyed it just as much as the clone wars
definitely better than the first 3 or so seasons
Lemme guess, you think Omega's annoying.
Nope
...ok.
ezra pisses me off too
I just think the story lacks a little direction in the first season.
Its the empire slowly taking over as seen from the perspective of a covert group of special clone soldiers.
It seemed like every episode was some kind of "side quest"
Omega is definetly far better in the 2nd season.
Yeah I understand, but in my opinion, I think it lacked direction. It was going all over the place.
But no I don't find Omega annoying at all.
I actually liked her character.
So was the bad batch, gotta earn credits.
shes growing on me
I guess
And hey, maybe it's trying to be more episodic.
At least she's not like "giggles Look at me, i'm a little girl!"
But I just don't remeber it clicking for me
Heck, she's older than the clones, in terms of years.
no in season 1 she was more like "giggles look at me im doing exactly what i was explicitly told not to do, ehehe, ive put everyone around me in danger" now tho she is far more mature and thinks before she acts
tho she does have her moments still
Yeah
But at least she had some charm, and it didn't annoy me that much.
Count me in too✋🏻
That's another thing about Mando
Baby Yoda has nothing to do.
Like I'm sorry, there is no reason for him to be here.
take so bad, ima just pretend i didnt read it
Ok how?
Wasn't the whole point of season 1-2 to get him to his people?
Everything everyone has ever done was to get him safely to a jedi.
i feel it doesnt get the attention it deserves and that'll just cause them to not continue making more niche spin off animated shows like this
The Jedi gave him a choice.
Yes & i was wondering why no one made a channel about it.
Yeah, but now what?
Now he chose his Mandalorian daddy. You are now up to speed.
Yep, and also how it took a best turn with real character progression of Crosshair at ep 12, and tbf it had quite a good writing there.
And now in ep 16. ||Goddamn, what a sacrifice by Tech🙌🏻||.
the entire point of the third season in terms of grogu is to show him slowly becoming a mandalorian foundling
ment to tag this
We barly spend time with Gorgu
actually on episode 16 and clicked without thinking. sadge
Has had a max of maybe 20 minutes of screen time.
This season.
Not enough time to develop shit.
im actually watching it right now
Am so so so sorry🥲
Watching what?
Nvm
I didn't meant to, at all, if i would've known🥲
Like Gorgu at this point is more of an object then a character.
its okay, im watching it now and if anything knowing whats about to happen makes it even sadder to watch
He has some interesting lore behind him and he's cute but that's about it.
Ooo, Project Stardust...
should have been ||echo, i actually really liked tech, he was one of my favourites||
You know what it is.
lmao
Hint: If you dont know, Alderann's about to find out.
Ikr! Such a well done gripping scene too! It's at times like this Bad Batch really outdoes itself when not doing filler eps.
Damn! ||Even ep3 & ep 12 where we got really compelling and full circle arc of Crosshair and his character progression.||
Ahh i can understand, ||and also i felt sad cause i can slightly relate to Tech in a way, cause I'm a pedantic nerd myself too.||
||tech was literally one of the best characters cause hes the most like 90% of the fanbase||
Shouldn't there be a chat for bad batch?
real sadge moment
They never made one.
Why?
Why do some shows get chats, but others don't?
by "about to find out" you mean in like 17 years or so from the events of the bad batch
Yeah ||*When have we ever followed orders?*🥲||
replace that by "gonna find out the hard way"
also fuck Cid
Cid is the Sniper right?
no
No
Big lizard lady
crosshair
Right right
You know, this kinda reminds me of GI JOE
she has her moments
Damn, Saw guererra just showed up.
GI Joe mixed with Rambo
YK WHAT
FUCK IT I'MA WATCH ME SOME BAD BATCH
Is this season any good?
I always thought they should distance themselves from Cid ||cause as much as they seem they care, they'll always takes care of their self interest & don't give a fck😑(actually true of most people these days too). Omega being herself, which i don't blame, she's a young naive kid who's sees the world in rose tinted colours still and believes in better, because of her they seemed to have cut her slack time and again. If it weren't for her, Hunter always would be vary of those. He thought of Omega first and foremost as a father, so saw it coming. Idk why they had to go to Cid again, like seriously 😩||.
Yes, it does have very damn good eps, especially ones of Crosshair
yeah why didnt they just go back to the planet with phee?
that does confuse me
cid didnt know where they were and they were safe there
Since they'll be on their tail at any cost having been suspects of almost ||bombing special high ranking officers of Empire, they can track their assess down even down to Phee planet, and i think they didn't wanna risk that. At least that's my thinking. They're very considerate and that's their only safe haven cause Hunter did want to retire themselves as soldiers for good and lay down their mettle and settle there||
That's my thinking atm but that explanation too does raise up so many questions and loopholes.
also damn, that reveal at the end
also i just understand what he ment by ||plan 99, plan 99 must be a heroic sacrifice to continue the mission like clone 99 in the clone wars show||
episode 12 is some of the best animated star wars ive seen
Ikr! Didn't expect that, it's too out of the blue and weird for me, hope they can make it a better cohesive idea of how exactly is it the case.
And damn Kevin Kiner score at end credits, ||that brass requiem, sounds like a funeral theme for Tech in a way🥲🙌🏻 it's at certain moments like this Kiner does shine up with composition apart from his filler writing.||
its really incredibly how stupid i am but when it comes to star wars i know just about as much as you can when it comes to canon lore
except for the sequels
i try to know as little about that shit show as possible
I hope they retcon it somehow, and take up some of the good storyline from SW legends comics.
i doubt they will but if they do it'd make me very happy
Yep, I've only just started reading very recently, like Thrawn Trilogy & New Jedi Order either one of them can make for very good sequel trilogy material.
the ending of season 2 of the mandalorian almost made me cry from how happy i was seeing luke be luke after the last jedi butcherd the character
im still reading the canon thrawn trilogy i have all 3 books but i need to finish it
i also should get started on the high republic stuff but the content ive read so far has been so bad
Ohh good, you just saved me from typing up a discreet spoiler😂
i mean if your in the mandalorian spoiler chat and havent seen the season 2 finale then thats on you tbh
I meant about Thrawn Trilogy
have u seen the i need a hero edit of the luke hallway scene @mossy pumice ?
No i didn't.
I'm thinking Plan 99 is sacrifice to avoid compromising the squad, or something.

i think this is the right one

holy shit it goes so hard
yes, like clone 99 sacrificing himself in the clone wars show
thats what the plan is based off
Also, the went back to Ord Mantell because Omega got injured in the mission.

Cid...that two-timing bitch...
lord please, kill of cid in the most painful slow way possible in season 3 🙏
I like that Wrecker took a stun ring and didnt stop him at all.
For mando
Not bad batch
If I go into a channel for Ant Man, I shouldn't see spoilers for Shazam. It's fine tho
Understood. My bad.
It's fine.
Much better episode
wh
it was the best of the season
2 was ok, 3 was mid, 4 not good
1 was good
ive liked all the episodes so far tbh
Easily my favorite episode
Def wasn’t the lowest
But tbh this hasn’t been a great season.
It’s kinda been all over the place.
From me this 5 episode is best of season until now
definitely the best of the season, but this whole season has been very mid so far IMO
shoutouts to the talking stick they use for meetings lmao
Its a beskar hammer. To forge the armors and weapons no doubt. This is the Way.
This is the Way.
Its a good way to keep order during debates. Only them who hold the hammer shall speak.
I like that Din and Paz Viszla are tight now.
For me its
1 Confusing but good
2. Good
3. Good
4. Good
5. Great
I loved all episodes so far
so... interesting developments this episode and Tim Meadowas
I doubt we will see Sabine this season
I’m pretty sure we will
Two rebels references already + bo actively seeking Mandalorians + she was cast a while ago
Maybe but I think she will show up in Ahsoka first, only 3 episodes left and I don't see where she fits.. maybe Bo katan will also look for Sabine
well we get ahsoka show later this year
that will almost certainly have mando in it a bit
Maybe.
Still gonna watch it for Ahsoka. And possibly Ezra.
He been missing since before the battle of Yavin.
must be like...10 years older, or something like that.
maybe 5.
Dont know.
I love ashoka
Ezra will be in the Ahsoka show
She's looking for him and Thrawn, right?
Ahsoka is looking for Thrawn that's confirmed
So...Since Bo-Katan got told by the armorer to remove her helmet...is she still Mandalorian?
Ezra’s already been cast for Ahsoka
What?
She had her helmet off all the time previously
Was she not mandalorian then
Nope.
She became Mandalorian when she bathed in the waters, saving Din Djarin.
And she didnt remove her helmet since, so the Armorer declared her redeemed, and a Mandalorian.
Before, she was just a Night Owl.
Mandalorians can take off their helmet only to eat, and in absolute privacy.
This is the Way.
I'll rephrase my question then. Since Bo-Katan got told by the armorer to remove her helmet...is she no longer part of the Armorer's convert?
I guess?
But that doesn’t really matter since be the end of the episode the armorer wants bo to unite the mandalorians, covert or not
Some of the hardcores are gonna leave. Paz Viszla might be first.
Not everyone appreciates changes to long-lived traditions.
I thought it's an April fools joke and scrolled up to see if it's a message from yesterday but nah.
Just looked it up & Damn! they did cast Ezra, Sabine & also Hera. Woah!🔥 I wonder who they cast as Thrawn.
is THIS the show that gives us Chopper?!
I just love that droid to bits!
he's murderous
but cute
What’s everyone’s favourite scene so far?
of what, S3 or the whole series?
S3
The aerial ship fight before the bit with the doctor for me. Great flying.
i mean i dont have one from s3
but i have multiple from the series
everytime grogu says patu
cuz patu
Luke vs the Dark Troopers. Goddarn, it goes hard.
Ohk, so just finished ep6
Damn, so Mandalorians can run & do pursuits huh?! Armour always looked too heavy and clumsy at least for me, so i never knew they'll actually do an ep of them doing pursuits in live action.
Quite nice more or less
Easily my favorite episode this season
They should really just give bryce dallas howard her own show or movie
||looks like the sabers hers again 👀||
I don't wanna sound dumb, but do i need to watch Star wars first?
Yeah, and og trilogy + prequels + clone Wars animated series are recommended
Wow. Didnt expect Jack Black to show up. Pleasant surprise.
And Christopher Lloyd? Great Scott!
You can basically watch season 1 without any prior knowledge, but checking out the OT (4, 5, 6) would give context as to what the empire was
S2 is largely the same, but there are quite a few callbacks to the prequel trilogy and clone wars
You know what the French word for pleasure is? Plaisir. Let that sink in.
Before starting S2, I'd clearly say to be acquainted with Clone Wars, because some of the weight of the callbacks can't be felt unless you see that.
Wtf jack black and lizzo doing in star wars
Celeberity cameos is creatively bankrupt
Best episode of the season.
mmm yes sir grogu
Sir Grogu, damn right.
Lizzo is now canon on the star wars universe

When they're not listening to The Hu, anyhow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJZfEh3EciU
Cal’s journey begins with him listening to Sugaan Essena, an original song from Mongolian band The Hu. That’s not Mongolian you’re hearing though, it’s a language created with the band that’s unique to Star Wars. It’s Cal’s favorite song for ship scrapping or galactic gladiator fights, but why should he have all the fun? We recorded a special se...
i love how much these shows keep having total shock castings like andy serkis in andor
whats wrong with it?
this episode has definetly been the weakest of the season but non the less enjoyable and im excited to see what the final 2 episodes has
I dunno, we got to see two Mandalorians fight.
Bo-Katan's the uncontested boss,now.
This new episode was definitely very divisive with many hating it, I personally quite enjoyed it
Christopher Lloyd organizing a droid rebellion sounds kind of awesome on paper.
I still love season 2 more but I'm quite enjoying season 3 as well
Worse doesent always mean bad, right?
Worst is bad though
i meant worse with an "e". sry
It's still bad but I guess you are speaking relatively like season 3 of Mando is worse than season 2
I thought this episode was pretty fun
definitely liked it more than any of the previous episodes
yah. But s3 is still good, despite not being s2.
They're probably keeping the earth shattering zingers for the finale.
Gonna be hard to beat Luke having a hallway fight tho...
Agreed
this got me lmao
man remember when this show looks good
back when they had greig fraser shooting it
Lizo and Jack Black…..
I’m sorry man, this season is mid asf.
It’s all over the place tbh
Sorry Lizzo can’t act for shit. Only reason she’s here is for promo and that’s it.
Sue me.
The episode itself was another side quest, and the most pointless out of all of them.
We brought this show to a stretching holt so Lizo and Jack black could fuck around for 20 minutes.
I just wanted to see some more character man.
Some development with Mando, instead this show spends time with its stupid cloning plot and now this shit.
dont forget christopher lloyd :D
oh damn i should start downloading these now
I wonder if Thundercat will ever make a song for a Thundercats movie
i freaked out when he showed up. like yeah, jack black is amazing and im sure lots of people love lizzo, but CHRISTOPHER FUCKIN' LLOYD
It's funny to me how there's all this Disney directed angst that tries to retroactively rewrite how the prequels were kinda bad, but we get the most George Lucasy, prequel esque episode ever, and those same people think it's an abomination
My only disappointment was that this felt like a detective story and reminds me that it's a shame they can't pull rian Johnson back to this franchise to give us a star wars whodunnit episode
Don't even need his whole proposed trilogy, just give me an episode where Mando is stuck on a passenger freighter and has to solve a murder
Jack Black and Lizo were kinda goofy, yes.
But i figure they were supposed to be.
Characters called for it.
I think its goofy in a creatively bankrupt way
lucas put even more goofy and creatively bankrupt shit in his movies
Its a satire of the egoistical, pompous, lazy, irresponsible aristocracy.
Kinda like French nobility before the Revolution.
Oh, these two would have gone to the guillotine first.
i have less of an issue with the cameos (Lizzo and Jack had fun and I can get behind that) but man this show went from looking intriguing as hell to an Avocados from Mexico Super Bowl ad
Warrior. Outcast. Rebel. Jedi.
#Ahsoka arrives August 2023 on @DisneyPlus.
It's great
Glimpses of Thrawn though 😍
I just hope it has a good music composer. Not the underwhelming and very filler score we're getting by Shirley from Mando S3😩
Even Natalie Holt held quite a lot back for Obi Wan Kenobi series, cause she has gave quite a unique fusion of classical & synthscapes in Loki ost(never saw the series & not planning to anytime) & she has quite a musical sense.
Ik. I just hope Filoni directed eps don't rely too much on cameos and all, and invest in better story telling. The cameo shockfactor and selling on nostalgia doesn't work too well in long run.
They could've gotten better directors I'd say🤔
Ok, this looks like its gonna kick ass.
Same but the rebels characters are not cameos though in Ahsoka.. they are main characters
Ik they are, I'm saying other than that, i mean knowing Filoni, ik how the man has the tendency and can't help himself most of the time lol
This is more or less an unspoken Rebels S5 
Ray stevenson as a Dark Jedi, tho.
And are they seriously still continuing with Rey?! They announced a new SW film which says will be based on Rey🤮 building the new Jedi order and set 15 years after rise of skywalker 🤮.
Ohh ffs😑
Where did you read that?
Official news drop from Star Wars celebration day i guess. Which is screening right now
I dont hate Rey, perse. Maybe they do better by her this time around.
Provided they have better screenwriters and a bloody plan.
This one I'm really intrigued btw! I bet he definitely read some of the legend comics or read Star Wars Dawn of Jedi issues😍.
https://twitter.com/discussingfilm/status/1644305621322178560?s=46&t=7913ARZBRZ9iHpmlsl52LQ
Lightsabers wired to batteries. This'll be something.
I so had a glimmer of hope they'll retcon sequel trilogy soon like in coming decades while give out as much post og trilogy stuff as possible and retcon it in background slowly.
Sequel trilogy is so uninspiring and very cluttered. And having read Star Wars legend comics for first time since like last year etc, Thrawn Trilogy & New Jedi Order, idk how TF Disney could even able to think to ruin George Lucas plans like that.
What could've been!😩
Directors bickering instead of having a unified vision. Woulda gone well if JJ hadnt copied a new hope, and Rian didnt try to destroy everything with his "Kill the past" approach.
For the record, i didn't see Rise of Skywalker, having to hear so many bitchings and cries from my best friends who grew up with it, I'm pretty sure it's not worth wasting that 2 hours of my.
I just bought Rise of Skywalker tickets back then just to see Tenet prologue, and immediately got tf out before the film started
And yes, and then some say Rian is a good director in general, which i agree, but that doesn't make him infallible and his approach to Last Jedi and story progression more or less really contradicted point of Lucas vision for star wars in general and what it actually stands for.
||Palpy comes back, gets owned. Kylo goes back to the light, gets owned. Calrissian has a daughter, Rey's a Palpatine, renames herself to Skywalker. The end.||
Unfortunately I did read the plot of the film in wiki & that's some of the dumbest shit ever made, probably because JJ, lazy af director who made 1 or 2 good movies in his life(I'd say mildly decent flicks), read so many fanfics and theories and made it into a film 🤦🏻
Hopefully the next trilogy wont be marred by backstage fuckery.
You can't do a new one which is based on this cluster fuck and pretend it's better now. I'd say it's better to go with silent clean slate reset in background, like i said above, cause Disney can't say by their own words they'd retcon, basically it'll be a self admittance saying they did wrong(they have such useless ego stuck up their ass they'll never admit 😑) and then do as much post og trilogy & post prequel trilogy stuff.
But nahh, looks like they still think they can build on top of that cluster fuck😑.
Shows are pretty good right now, and they are leading to the fustercluck you describe.
Like in dc i never, CBMs in general i never see cause i grew up a comic book reader & wasn't a fan of some of the adaptation choices they take of some good comic book storyline they miss that point.
And DC i never saw post BvS and whatever tf is with Snyder's take on immigrant Superman story approach and a veteran Batman ffs. He dragged too much with overusage of symbolism it goes on the territories of being a very forced inclusive wokeness bs🤦🏻.
I never even knew they made Black Adam film, new Suicide Squad, Shazam & Flash with apparently Keatons Batman(whatever tf that is) and MCU idk there's this reunion of 3 spideys.. tf?
So I'm really glad when i saw Gunn apparently is head of new DC studio, and thought this cluster fuck can't be salvaged so as a comic book reader myself, he should take it upon himself to do a clean slate reboot leaving some characters in this new one. Which is what I so hoped to see in SW now with sequel trilogy. Doing what's necessary even though how daunting it can be for better storytelling and staying true to the vision. @storm garden
Btw i never even saw Endgame to this day & most of MCU in general. It's too far gone for me, what would've been a completely different approach from Favreau before Disney bought them out.
A sci Fi take on a sword and sandals kinda movie seems very interesting to me
1 lighter episode and you all lose your shit
episode was defs the weakest of the season but its still a great season. last season had the spider episode lets not forget that. that shit was weird af
haters gonna hate. im still enjoying this season just as much as i did season 2. also season 2 was great
Me watching the episodes when they drop at 3am
8 for me so i can watch as soon as i wake up
i am a bit harsher on this season
mainly because of the fact that disney/lucasfilm have proven that they're able to make prestige television with shows like Andor
and now I just expect more out of everything else they're making
i really dont like Andor
crazy
andor is legitimately the best thing to come out of star wars since 1980
because its not trying to be a good star wars show, its just trying to be a good show that actually has something to say
think its overrated. also Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book Of Boba Fett are so over hated too its crazy. mfs acting like its the worst most evil shit disney has made since the 1940s ww2 cartoons
i loved 'The Book Of Boba Fett' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' was great
aight i think we just look for two fundementally different things in television then lmao
because i really disliked both of those
i was really hoping for a political thriller from Andor and it just didnt feel like that. it felt like the same exact thing as the prequels and the OT and the clone wars and the bad batch and rebels except just worse. it felt like it was riding off the success of Rogue 1
andor was easily my favorite new TV show to come out last year
the only reason it wasn't my favorite in general was because better call saul s6 and barry s3 were also incredible
Did you watch all of it
yes
i watch all of every Star Wars project multiple times lmao. that argument won't work on me
the only star wars media that I think is at the same level of quality as andor is a new hope and empire
the only exception to this is rebels which im about 75% of the way through
Ahem clone wars
ranking tv shows against films is a little weird but i sure as hell think that andor is head and shoulders above any of the other star wars TV shows
damn ur gon hate my teir list fr
and better than the prequels/sequels, with the exception of maybe TLJ
Clone wars is a handful of admittedly very good episodes, surrounded by a lot of bad ones, especially in the first 2-3 seasons
They weren’t bad just not as good
genuine question, please do not take offense to this this isn't meant to be rude or anything
but how old are you
almost 19
because everyone i've ever met that loves episode 3 like that is a zoomer who grew up watching it and is very nostalgic for the prequels
ep3 is far and away the best of the prequels, but its still not what i would really call a very good film besides a handful of scenes
agree to disagree ig
Yeah a lot of people like it because it’s the most action packed I think
it still suffers from most of the same writing issues that 1 and 2 have
i love the politics and the birth/creation of the greatest villain in film history. the cool ass lightsaber fights is just a bonus W
i didn't put the shows in because ranking films against television is a bit weird
but if i made a star wars show tier list it would be andor in S and everything else in like B-C lmao
revenge of the sith being lower than the last jedi really hurts but each to their own
I will never understand people that like the last Jedi
me neither. its a spit in the face of the entire franchise. it tries to be unique and just ends up being insulting
where as Rise Of Skywalker is just laughably bad. The Last Jedi is insultingly bad
I enjoy it because i think luke's character arc in the film is absolutely beautifully done
its a "fine" standalone film. its an absolutely abysmal Star Wars film.
Even if you ignore Luke in this movie a lot of it doesn’t make sense
i can understand not liking The Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones but putting them in the worst teir then willingly saying The Last Jedi is amongst the best is just downright confusing
its like saying you hate chocolate ice cream and mint ice cream but mint chocolate is phenominal. just makes absolutely 0 sense
The Last Jedi is easily one of the worst films ive watched from the last decade and ive seen a whole ton of bad films, that may just be because of how big a star wars fan i am so it hurts more but either way its just a terrible movie
There's a lot of things I really like about TLJ, like the fact that it's probably the best looking star wars film, the cinematography and use of color is just wonderful, or the fantastic performances from adam driver and daisy ridley and mark hamill, but my favorite part is that every single character has a full, complete, satisfying arc in the film. Particularly luke's character arc in TLJ is one of my favorite things in any star wars film, its genuinely beautiful character writing IMO
brb i'll copypaste my full thing i wrote the last time i talked with someone about it lmao
wall of text incoming
I agree the acting and cinematography was amazing
the main thing that stands out to me is the culmination of luke's character arc. dave filoni has summed it up really well so i'll quote him.
“I think Luke understands that it’s not about what he wants. It’s not about what he gains. It’s frankly about what everybody else gained. Sometimes, you have to be the one that carries that burden and becomes that vessel. These aren’t characters that go and get married. They don’t get over the scar. Frodo carries the ring to Mount Doom and for the rest of his life is plagued with fear. On certain days, he remembers those pains. Because he has to carry that burden. And Frodo has no peace until he leaves that world. Luke is that character.”
We see this with luke, in the flashback. he's grown and moved on, but he still has that trauma, which is why in a moment of weakness he pulls out his lightsaber, just like he did against his father. out of that shame he isolates himself, and its not until rey and yoda help him overcome that that he's able to see what actually has to be done.
The death of luke skywalker is genuinely one of the most beautiful scenes in any star wars films. He's overcome his fears and his depression, to look back on his past mistakes (kylo) and face them head on. it mirrors the original scene of him looking forward in ANH at the twin suns, and the future that staying on tattooine entails, but now he's looking back, over the mountaintop and the ocean view of the rising sun instead. Its here that he makes a sacrifice to save the ones he loves instead of fighting kylo out of hate. in doing this he also is what sparks the rebellion again, the image of him is what gives hope, not out of him destroying anything but of him saving them.
It’s definitely the best looking film
its the best looking star wars film because its in the most recent trilogy the first was made in the 70s and 80s and the prequels was made in the 90s and 00s. its like saying someone has the best ass because they have the fattest ass but they only have that because they're 400 kg and obese
not to mention Rogue 1 is a far better looking film in my opinion
Last Jedi looks better than force awakens and rise of skywalker though
some of my favorite looking films of all time are from the 70's lmao
i'm not talking about the VFX
i'm talking about the framing and composition, and how rian johnson uses camera movement to enhance the visual storytelling of the film
yeah but looks worse than Rogue 1 and every single star wars show. the only reason it looks better than the OT and Prequels is because its 40 and 15 years older than them
one of my favorite shots in the film is an homage to a film from 1927 lmao
https://youtu.be/AO2KhMLJxq0 the scene in the casino that recreates this
Scene from the 1927 silent film 'Wings'.
Wings is a 1927 American silent war film set during World War I, produced by Lucien Hubbard, directed by William A. Wellman, released by Paramount Pictures, and starring Clara Bow, Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen. Gary Cooper appears in a small role which helped launch his career in Hollywood.
The film...
it has literally 1 good shot in the entire film and thats the holdo manoeuvre but in the world of star wars it makes 0 fucking sense, we've been told time and time again shit like that is stupid and can't be done but the last jedi just goes "lmao fuck your lore ima do what i want"
Yeah what a dumb scene
Looked great tho
literally the only good shot in the entire film and from a story and universe point of view it makes 0 fucking sense and shouldnt work
its just phenominal how ryan can make such brilliant filmwork with breaking bad episodes and knives out but he shit the bed so hard with this film in the eyes of most of the fanbase
You know he said his goal was to make it controversial
This is literally what he wanted
That bastard
like i understand my teir list isnt great its my own opinion but at least its obvious what links the things i like 'Revenge Of The Sith', 'The Mandalorian' and 'The Book Of Boba Fett' all have several things in common such as the darker tones but saying prequels is all dogshit but then saying The Last Jedi is top 4 is just straight up confusing
but again each to their own
you're allowed your opinion and im not gonna hate u for it cause that'd be dumb lmao
there is a rumour his trilogy has been cancelled (thank fuck) and we just got confirmation of a film being directed by dave filoni
Yessir I saw the three film announcements
Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are the best things to happen to star wars since its creation thank god lucas film is recognising that
buddy i feel like i'm just talking at you and you're not actually reading any of what i'm saying but whatever man, you do you
its very clear we both value different things
to be fair i send like 3 sentences at a time. u sent me a short story ofc im not gonna read it all
kings
Also can’t wait for the other movie about the origins of the Jedi
Hoping that’ll be good
yeah the acolyte was also teased with a trailer thats during the high republic so im not too excited about it but i still hope im proven wrong and it ends up being good
bs we dont get to see the trailer tho
It doesn’t come out till next year so I think that’s why
yeah have u seen the dial of destiny trailer
Nah I don’t care tbh
i was so scared it was going to be another modern destruction saying "actually he was a bad guy smh" but it looks so good
it looks like an actual indiana jones film made by someone who cares about the franchise
That would be nice
fair enough
also the music is so good jesus christ the trailer music was phenominal
If I hear it’s actually good maybe I’ll check it out
ima rewatch the indiana jones films before it releases
it releases like a month after my birthday or something i think
kingdom of the crystal skull?
Ya lol
Mando season 3 is a 6.5/10 so far i think
or a 7
its at a 7/10 rn for me but the final two episodes could bring it up to an 8
Only way Mando would fall off is if the main character vanished completely.
So long as he's involved, its all good.
I dont care who he interacts with, or what the mission ends up being.
Unless its his clan, Bo-Katan or Grogu.
I completely agree, its a downright spit in the face when it comes to Starwars films and their fans. I heavily disagree with the spot on that tier list.
and Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones at the complete bottom is also a shocker to me
Also just saw the latest Mando episode. I heard about Lizzo's appearance before i saw it and was absolutely mortified and scared that this episode was going to be ass. The episode was pretty decent, enjoyed seeing the Seperatist droids again. Really excited to see how the next few episodes tie this season to an end.
In what universe is any sequel trilogy film worse than the first two prequels lol
Both of those are like in my worst 15 all time
Though TLJ isnt my favourite of the sequels at all
the only sequel film i would ever understand being above the prequels is The Force Awakens
both The Last Jedi and The Rise Of Skywalker are absolute dogshit
i'd take the Phantom Menace over either of them any day of the week
I like some of the arguments Luke raises about the Jedi being morons. He wasnt wrong.
most of the most awful characters in star wars come from the sequels notably Rey, Holdo, and Rose 1 is dumb af with her abilities, 1 is annoying and the other is straight up completely pointless
what was the point in rose in TLJ other than to give finn a love interest? what argument can u make for her?
barely deserves a place in legends let alone canon
Sequels would've been so much better if Finn was the protagonist and was the one to become a jedi. Would've been a cooler story imo
I wonder why they have not given name for the Mandalorian movie yet, but only for the other two upcoming Star Wars movies.
Unless it's just gonna be "The Mandalorian" which is dissapointing.
Would have been more interesting too. Also don't destroy luke would have been nice
Its not a mandalorian movie is it? Its just a film made by filoni set at the same time as 'The Mandalorian'
Im excited for it. Filoni the best thing to happen to star wars since george lucas created it, glad he's finally getting his own film to direct
have you read the original Episode 9 script by any chance
i remember reading it and thought it was decent. Definitely better than what we got
Made me sick
Filoni making an ultimate movie with all the shows combine is just… no.
If not I’d love to see him stand up and leave from the Resistance because he is seeing his own friends getting murdered by maniacs who cheer at the death of billions. The film could teach about how you shouldn’t treat people on assumptions of who they are with. They honestly wasted him….
please for the love of god let this next episode start tying things together
? he's not, he's making a film set in the same time period as the shows he's made i.e 'The Mandalorian', 'The Book Of Boba Fett', 'Ahsoka'. its not a combination of the shows
yeah mando will definitely be in it
That filoni directed movie looks like a avengers sort of movie with everyone involved from rebels to boba fett to mando and new republic against Thrawn
I'd buy that for a dollar.
Same
He said culmination so I assume it's all Marvel esque
I guess it will be Heir to the Empire with that rag tag team...
I just wish Boba was just a bounty hunter and able to betray anyone for some republic credits. The show is just meh
That got him eaten. Can you blame him for wanting a change of profession?
lol i know
Even Temura disagrees...
don't understand that complaint, bro came face to face with death day after day from the second he entered the sarlacc pit then he lived with a nomadic and close nit culture of people. he evolved past bounty hunting
its not like he 1 day just up and went "nah im not a bounty hunter anymore lul"
You have a profession since childhood to be one way. I can understand the whole Daimyo arch
I'm thinking he should do adventuring more than bounty hunting, or being a Daimyo. We already know he aint wanting to sell his services to credits anymore.
But the benevolence from the Tuskens is bizarre. I like the aspect that they are just people but knowing what Boba did in the Star Wars comics he wouldn't be that ignorant to the sand people.
I just want him dead
You want Boba dead?
thank god the star was universe isnt based on what you want then
george sold star wars
George doesent have a say no more.
if it was based on what a single person wants then i want the sequels out of canon and for luke to die being luke. not a creepy hermit thats nothing like his original character but unfortunately we don't always get our own way
They can make anything work. They have money. I just find anything that Filoni or Faverau touch to really lack anything interesting besides three episodes a show
? ok
Clone wars and mandalorian are the shiz.
Clone Wars was ok. Never finished it
Ah well...
Heard about the Clone origins plot and that was weird
arguably 2 of the best pieces of star wars since disney are BECAUSE OF filoni
explains a lot
and Season 3 is declining in viewership why?
Dunno, dont care, not over yet.
fr. people so quick to complain, season 3 not even finished. plus im loving it
So am I, even if its a little bit goofy.
all your arguments are based on complete personal opinion and "this isnt what george would have wanted"
It's not even complaining if viewership is lower than the last season.
Not even. I'm simply tired of the whole proposing 15 movies ahead of time then canceling every one but two
Last season had a Luke hallway fight, how are they gonna top that?
Of course there's less people.
Doesent make the show bad in my opinion.
Why did Grogu go back to Mando again?
Luke gave Grogu a choice.
Oh right
He chose his Mandalorian daddy.
wouldnt we all
Thank god the little spud came along or we'd be stuck with porgs.
Maybe even Babu Frek
and what ever the fuck this is
Babu Frek
HE-HEEYYYYY
babu frek-ing hell he's fucking ugly
Most star wars aliens are.
That guy surviving in Rise of Skywalker
was the silliest thing I've witnessed in a while. I want to see James Mangold's Star Wars origin story
Goddamn! The ending!!!😯
Who cares if Mandalorians take their homeland planet back? It's a complete wasteland and they are small group
Just leave them because be
The council is just petty
Have you already watched the latest episode?
10 min in
Oh.. then you will know later
But like they never mention it in first converstion
True.. there's more to this
What is with Mandalorians and kaiju
That's the 4th giant monster this season
Hey those guys finally showed again
how could they crew a light cruiser with like a 10 person crew
So they're calling..."it"...Project Necromancer. I like the name.
Good ep
u will find out why later
also holy shti
phenominal episode
season best episode after the seasons worst lmao
also the end credits had a more mysterious and darker version of the theme and i love it
6.4 to a 9.1 lol
not to say i told you so but to everyone crying about the season... i told you so
good things come to those with patience and belief in filoni and favreau
||RIP Paz Viszla. Went down like a true Mandalorian Boss. ||
Good villain. Too bad you cant blow the skin off his face twice.
is that a breaking bad reference lol
it was.
yo what if the armourer set them up?
The number of reviews has now almost doubled and it's still at a 9.1 so the haters can't blame it on the number of people reviewing either. Garantee by the time it hits 10k it'll be a 9.0 or higher still
Why would the armorer sell off her covert and save the survivors?
She would rather die than betray her covert. This is the Way.
Its the same orchestral ensemble of the main theme which is used back in E7 of S1, made by Ludwig Görannsson himself.
It's more of a somber take on the main theme.
its crazy how often this is a plot device, especially this season lmao
technically the Santa fight scene in Elf follows this same principle
Idk but there has always been something off about her and idk if u noticed but her helmet and moff gideons new helmet are VERY similar
Coincidence. Imo. We'll see.
now over 5,000 reviews and still at a 9.1, 'The Mandalorian' is back babyyyyyy
He never right.
?
ah lmao
Thank goodness, I thought i might be the only one who is thinking this lmao
When the giant monster came out of the ground i thought the mythosaur decided to leave that pond
No clue why that added it in other than for the spectacle
yeah that did confuse me, they where headed to the great forge anyway why the need for the monster
To debunk the legend that the Mythosaur is a myth to the Mandalorians.
Now the Mandalorians know the Mythosaur is real.
That wasn’t the mythosaur that attacked them tho was it
^^
Giant monsters showing up randomly are just a thing this season
I have a feeling they want to make a monster movie
Is it possible Bo-Katan will get help of Mythosaur😶?
Yep, just like how it's been in most of part 2 episodes of Rebels lmao! Like in the last season with Purgills
Correction, giant creatures then 
Bro this episode was so fucking awesome. I was geeking the fuck out when i saw Moff Gideon in his new armor and those guards that|| killed Paz Visla|| were so cool too. That final scene with Paz Visla was so awesome too i genuinely loved this episode. This episode completely revived this season from being decent to being awesome.
I can not wait for this next episode
and the theme that started playing when those guards showed up was breathtaking
Praetorian Guard is no joke.
However, if all the Mandos were there, the guards would have been swamped.
oh for sure
Yep fr , it's quite amazing to see how Ezra alone got to handle them in Rebels final ep, but then again, he's really strong with the Force.
Uh huh, interesting 🤔
Wait, Jack Black, Lizzo, and Christopher Lloyd isn't Meller? (hehehe)
who we thinkin the other spy is
What do you mean by spy?
Pretty sure the Remnant have been on Mandalore long before the Mandalorians found that hidden base.
Well many are saying the armorer is the spy
Guess we'll know tomorrow, huh.
In 36 hours and 22min
She does seem sus, with how she treated Bo-Kayan all the sudden
I need to see her ride a mythosaur lol
ONLY 9.5 hours
God it’s shit
Lmao!😂
The ending ain't what i expected at all
Its got resolved..... Too soon
And i expected kind of cameos of aftermath, perhaps tease of Thrawn appearance by Lars Mikkelsen😶(ik crazy)
And i guess we can cross off Armorer as not the spy lol
And seriously ||Din besting 3 fucking Praetorian Guards?! I'm sorry ik he's a very skilled fighter when he needs to be & quite clever in combat tactics and stealth but come on||
Ofc he had ||Grogus help, like just throwing them around with the force lmao||
new episode was gud
kinda
50 percent
||what was that goofy looney tunes ending circle closing on grogu||
That's what lmao
what a phenominal episode. easily the best episode of the season
mfs will hate for any reason
Bold assumption when I haven’t said anything
seems people are starting to disagree anyway
i replied to a message of you saying "god it's shit"
Of course because it’s one of the better episodes of the season
Which isn’t saying much
A pile of shit looks better next to an uncontrollable amount
people like you will do or say anything to try and be right. face it people enjoyed most of the season
Face it based on what
The general negative discourse
The only people I’ve seen like it are Star Wars fans who will eat up anything they put out
the average rating for the season right now is 7.9 but ok lmao
You’re just looking at IMDB
Anyone who takes time to go to IMDB and rate it clearly likes it and cares
i literally despise the sequels and thought Andor was incredibly mid what tf are u talking about 💀
Look no further than the web inside your phone
Disliked the things with an actual plot
Makes sense
15,000 people out of the millions that watch it
That’s a great consensus
Yeah although the resolution felt too quick.
But i just rewatched it now(especially the combat scenes) goddamn it's one of the best now I've seen since finale of Season 1(that was just lit combat scenes I've seen there). Rick Famuyiwa is quite a solid director.
Especially Din combat scenes here though, he's improved quite a lot & he always rises upto ocassion in situations where he's boxed in. Especially at the shield scene.
He's basically like Wick Djarin lol!🙌🏻🔥
And nobody lies on the internet right
Nobody would bot or anything right
Everything is as it seems
yeah believe it or not in general surveys don't reach every person its called a sample size lmfao
That’s right
yeah i do agree, it felt a bit too quick but i enjoyed it and it sets up season 4 nicely, im hopinh season 4 will go back to the roots of just basic space western bounty hunting
you're desperate to find an argument with these strawmans and "what if" scenarios. you disliked the episode fine. but most have liked it
That's what it seems like, with Din agreeing to help New Republic as an unofficial cleaning guy, a sweeper when he said he'll take on a case-to-case basis now that seems interesting.
What is this ‘most’?
I’m not even strawmanning
I’m saying we can’t say for sure
Some people hate it, some people like it
Shock
you're making up or just blatently saying excuses to discredit someone elses argument
"b...b...but what about the bots??? u didnt think of the bots"
ahsoka uo next woooooooo
shut up bruh
Which do exist, yes
so excited
Don’t get salty now
Anyway
Really sad to see such a fall off
Season 1 and 2 were amazing
says the one literally arguing tooth and nail that its awful and most people think its shit
mf trying to talk about salty
Well I’m not arguing that it’s awful
I’m telling you that’s what I think of it
guys why
"my god it's shit"
dont do this
Yep, let's get back to about upcoming Ahsoka, woooooooo
The whole season is just severely futile
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
personally i liked it but you do you
And then the big rebellion ‘fight’ is just them flying at some troops
ok bro 💀 literally the first thing u said in this channel after the episode came out. season was great with in my opinion only 1 bad episode and 1 meh episode. others where good, fantastic or better
Moff Gideon final fight lasting 2 minutes
And it being a really slow weak fight
Just real rushed and poor
im very excited to see live action thrawn
i'm re-reading the new canon thrawn books (and some of the ones i havent read) and going to finally finish off rebels
tbf his entire religion is not taking his helmet off
So am i! Looks like Filoni wants to take certain cues and elements from Thrawn Trilogy which seems pretty apparent in some respects if the theory i have about what ||Ezra & Thrawn would've been possibly upto when sort of stranded in hyperspace with Purgills||
Btw the ones i kept in spoilers are about Rebels show so if you haven't seen, don't look at it.
so at least they have an excuse
the previous 2 seasons had him take his helmet off only once in the 1st and twice in the 2nd and thats it
I mean, he just redeemed himself and got exception by bathing in Water of Mandalore(whatever the right name is) for that sole reason. So i don't think he'll jeopardize that again.
and the entire beginning of the season was about him trying to find redemption in his religion for taking off the helmet
touché
should probably have put the disclaimer at the beginning since i read it after i opened the spoilers but its okay, i know a lot of what happened anyway
I'm so sorry again!😭 I think this is the 2nd time i might have did this on accident 🥲
speaking of Filoni
did y’all see him
nah its all good
what about him
i really do hope jon favreau isnt leaving lucasfilm. him and filoni are the best thing to happen to it since george lucas created it
also is it just me or does ahsokas skin clearly look like face paint in this poster? idk why but every time i seen her in live action so far i think she looked good but this poster kind of just looks like a cosplay attempt to me
Its just the colour grade here is quite weirdly done that's it. But that's the thing with most posters so I'm not surprised.
would smash
Honestly didnt like it as much as i thought i would
I still enjoyed it but it just isnt as good as s1 or s2
This would be decent ending to the show really
still not the biggest fan of them defiling IG11's corpse to make a mech that gets destroyed
i guess the ending with him becoming the marshal is fine?
Loved this season finale, great action scenes.. Din and Grogu relationship is now official as well, there are some questions though like who's the spy??
Season 3 overall was quite good, some episodes were much better than others but I enjoyed it a lot
imply the existence of spies
does not elaborate
ends the season
i think the episode title was just referring to gideon having eyes on the republic?
also
did i miss a post credits scene or did they just entirely dismiss the mythosaur
the spy is the woman at the new republic and the other imperials around the galaxy
i thought that was made very obvious
the episode named "the spies" opens with ... the spies
we gathered she was probably a spy the second she tortured and from the looks of it killed the doctor and when she tried to stop nevaro from being helped then the opening of the episode "the spies" started with her talking to gideon and giving him information
i think it's pretty fair most people expected "the spies" to refer to more than one spy
that arent just off screen "oh yeah they exist" spies
Ya, didn't bother me that much
Caine's the one who told Gideon about the whole spiel. Dunno why you guys thought there was anyone else involved.
Especially the armorer.
Good finale.
Guess these two are part of the Star Wars Avengers now.
The finale for Mandalorian wasn't the best finale in the world but it hit all the right notes. Great action, emotional moments. It's sad that not everyone vibed with this season, I will say it had it's ups and downs, and it wasn't perfect but it was fine. I just hope people will stick around for season 4 to see that it's better than season 3. I guess I'm not as critical with things as some people are, I just enjoy things for what they are. That's my spiel.
People hate Jack Black, Lizzy, Christopher Lloyd episode… but I liked it
Is there going to be a fourth? Seems like the big bad is dead.
Not until there's a body.
Great finale
season 4 i think is confirmed could be wrong
It is, my mistake.
Solid finale..the air fight along with the music was hype af...wish it lasted longer tho
this was truly one of the seasons of television
Mythosaur fighting alongside the Mandalorians in the movie ..Disney better deliver that
Yeah dude
Dope scene
i think "the spies" was just referring to all the people gideon was talking to at the beginning
it's amazing how this went from "event television" to "i can barely care even if i tried" in one season
at least GoT was at least kinda gradual
Wasn’t the best season but Din adopting Grogu was mad wholesome
I weeped when the Darksaber got destroyed
WEEPED
It had a good run.
its okay they'll bring it back
nothing has actual consequences in this show
i'm sure it'll get rebuilt in an episode of ahsoka
I'd dispute this, but i know what happens when i do, so...fair enough.
These last couple of episodes were incredible. I loved Moff Gideons return and his new armor was so damn cool. I wish the final act of the season was started a bit earlier so they had more time to resolve the conflict i felt the pacing was a little lack luster but other than that this season was so good
also that one "Andor" esque episode with the scientist was so damn long for no reason. I feel like if they shortened that bit of the episode and made it actually make progress in the plot the pacing would’ve been better
This season is the most elaborate April Fools joke I can think of\
I felt mixed on the finale
it didn't feel super satsfying?
Yeah it didnt feel incredible
Like something just felt off for me
it felt a bit rushed of an ending and was it just me or was the action a little bit awkward and stiff at times
yeah i get that
i keep seeing people share ||the grogu 'fight' with the guards|| and it feels so phoned in
like this entire season felt like an afterthought
like Favreau got a massive payday from season 2, celebrated for a year and then remember he still has to make a show about halfway through his vacation
the action was pretty awkward at times i agree and yeah Din against 3 praetorian guards was kind of weird fight with them just getting flailed around
by Grogu
I mean if it wasn't for Grogu, he would've met same fate like Paz. And they're putting up quite a good fight if it wasn't for Grogu who helped a bit.
But the fight before, i think the action there is quite good with Dins combat sequences at the shield scene.
Favreau had to take new directions because KK messed things up by forcing him to take Grogu back from Luke
At least, that's what the rumor mill said
checks out
would certainly explain a few things
like ||the Mythosaur getting introduced and goin nowhere||
idk that might just be me
Season 3 is a bit of a patch, but we'll see
1 and 2 was great, 2.5 is not bad (except the aforementioned thing with Luke, and the time that was devoted to that which messed with the structure of Book of Boba Fett, making it mid), 3 is serviceable, but felt more a setup of things to come than any other (full) seasons before it
It better be resolved early in season 4... coming 2024 I guess...
It's not just you... losing Gina Carano already messed with things, and then they messed with Grogu becoming more Jedi before coming back to Din... but I can't say no good came from that... we got Intergalactic Detective Carson Teva, played by Paul (the father of Kim's Convinience), and that's great.
It wasnt the best season, but it was still very entertaining, imo.
Best season was 2, and it would have been muy difficult to top it, imo.
LOL
Nevarro appears in 10 episodes. Aldahni appears in 3. Tell me a single meaningful thing about Nevarro besides “Carl Weathers lives there”
696
A whole tract of lands are owned by the Mandalorians, and Din Djarin and Din Grogu has a hut there
EZ
good season finale
iffy season but wrapped up well I think. Honestly wouldn't be annoyed if this is the last season
Emily Swallow (The Armorer) went undercover at FAN EXPO Cleveland to secretly meet her fans... and a dog.
#emilyswallow #themandalorian #thearmorer #fanexpo #fanexpocleveland #themandalorianseason3
Season 1: 7/10
Season 2: 8.5/10
Season 3: 5.5/10
my ratings of the show
I think the first half of the season was kind of snorefest but the last two episodes really woke me up I felt like I was watching a movie with real stakes.
Also I'm still feeling perplexed over that doctor episode, they're gonna grab that thread at another time but it's bizzare that not much progressed on that end. Time was very weirdly alotted and used between narratives.
I felt like there was something off writing wise this season. Some small things that just made no sense, some dialogue felt a bit off and odd story decisions at times. There was something there in the finale but i kinda felt detached for the whole episode. Idk, they tried for an epic finale but it felt kinda weak.
||However Grogu being adopted was a sweet moment even though Grogu wasn’t originally going to be here. I do also like the thread of Din Djarin working for the New Republic and the ending shot with him living with Grogu was nice and sweet too. But it doesn’t save the fact that, for me, the season overall was kinda mid and stumbled a lot, even the finale action felt like super stiff and awkward and that didn’t help things. However, it is saved from pure mediocrity by its conclusion being nice.||

And also get Ludwig Görannsson back for the 4th season. Its so evident how much of a filler Joseph Shirley has made for Mando music unless he uses Ludwigs theme which are so... Ehh.
I love how he said in interviews he wanted to involve more strings and ensemble here with orchestral writing but the thing is he obviously doesn't know how to write for strings and orchestra. The thing is, which is most probable, he used a lot of string vsts and orchestral vsts.
He might have slapped in two or three patches of those and wrote a really underwhelming melody and called it a day. What he didn't do is he didn't think in the way of a strings or ensemble are usually recorded live.
He should've mixed those sections better or at least could've set different velocities for each section, cause orchestal players in general tend to invoke more variety and make few different additions when playing, like when a drummer does perhaps, cause he can't keep doing same rhythm patterns again and again.
That’s the problem every composer has when they made an iconic motif tho… I mean look at DC, they are still using and crediting John Williams’ Superman Theme
I think problem is much more inherently deeper than that. They don't even do a faithful re-imagining of motifs with their own spin.
Görannsson is extremely skilled in that regard when he used Kiners Ahsoka theme in Mandolarian S2. Its so so well done, especially in sections where he plays both Mandos theme & Ahsoka theme with recorder and a flute with such beautiful use of counterpoints, just uff!
And Görannsson is even brave enough to write a whole new fuckin motif for Luke fckin Skywalker and that too is so brilliantly written. Williams theme is more Korngold esque whereas Görannsson new theme with really amazing chromatic dissonances, it's so Shostakovich in a way.
And that's not a small feat at all.
Joseph Shirley is not someone who in a 100 years could do something as creative and bold, cause he doesn't have such inherent depth or deep understanding music theory like Görannsson has.
Or experimentation with world instrument
Season 1 and 2 Mando music is full of unconventional instruments
They're conventional instruments tbf! Just more sound synthesis with some amazing analog synths he has like from Korg & Roland. Dude has eurorack that so many dream of to buy😍🙌🏻. Whereas me I'm still awaiting my Arutria analog synth i put an order for and still waiting to recieve🥲
He definitely has that music theory knowledge to carry cause he's trained as both classical and jazz composer. And he's a multi instrumentalist himself so he places that emphasis of making everything sound as authentic as possible. Not every section sounding the same.
Right, but how many orchestra had you seen a Bass Recorder in the last while? lol
It's not full "unconventional", fair, but it's not conventional either... most philharmonics just sort of leave those instruments out, since you can't hear them that well, and their parts are easily replaceable with other wind instruments in the section.... WHO makes it the LEAD instrument!? BASED AS F!
Ohk in that sense yeah I agree! And he's also very skilled to let like each instruments sing that melody out, like first with the bass recorder, then the electric guitar then carry forwarded by the amazing fanfare of brass & strings. Just uff & followed by the brilliant rhythms and the bass recorder.
Görannsson is my absolute favourite in film composers now when it comes to percussions. His use of polyrhythms and unusual rhythm patterns (that's what having trained in jazz & having love of math rock and metal music really pays off). And also having learned African music and diaspora must have really opened up his mind when doing BP.
Just absolutely love it cause it's actually listening to real authentic music writing there in rhythms instead of the godawful percussions Zimmer plagued with his boring vst enabled Taiko drums which sounds same like sledgehammers hitting shipping containers.
What Görannsson could've done for Dune instead of the travesty that is Zimmers so called Dune ost😑🤦🏻
They both are absolute travesty😩. And BR 2049 ain't even Zimmers work
it's just Benjamin Wallfisch, not like Zimmer could do better than bwwwwaaaaahhhh or playing 2 or 3 notes and that's all he knows. And doesn't know music notation which is fine at cases but when you're an orchestral composer music notation is absolutely necessary and knowledge of music theory and i can't stress that enough.
Yes he is!
What I meant was that any recent sountrack is better than the one that is Blade Runner 2049 one... un-listenable by itself... unlike the God-Tier Vangelis of the original.
Hmm exactly. I always wonder what late Johann Johannsson, usual collaborator of Denis would've done.
Dune also a hard album to listen by itself, it only works as part of the film
All i listened is a very generic unstructured and pretentious nonsense. And also his claims of inventing new sounds is downright laughable.
Mind-blowing the extent to which this charlatan claims inventing things that are known, were used dozillion times, and are, for e.g. the saudakar voice, simply throat-singing techniques. He is the kind of guy after skimming through a literature compendium tries to hoax you into believing he has read them all, all the great books he stutteringly summarizes.
The "highly unusual rhythmic stuff" is kunnakol. It should be a crime to look so gleeful when you steal culture and pass it off as your own. Classic culture misappropriation.
Its fine if he uses those, but what he said is he said he invented it from scratch, what a fckin mooch!
If that's what you say is listenable... Well then... Oof😶
Jesus Christ Bo-Kotan had to save Mando twice in one episode
Is this an actual joke in the series?
We wish
The show didnt really need much of Pascal this season, besides the voice.
Almost sure his stunt double could have carried the physical performance.
@thorny trellis have you heard the Bad Batch S2 ost by Kevin Kiner?!
I think most of the tracks is typical fillers he usually does. But at certain moments he does shine, like this track in particular. What a somber requiem of a piece with the brass🙌🏻

I read Kevin Costner for some reason
Yeah overall the season wasn’t good. The best episode was the second to last. The finale was alright, but not great.
I agree that it's not AS good, but it's not THAT BAD either... and come on, Jack Black, Lizzo, and Christopher Lloyd cameo episode is exactly the sort of mid-season camp that we wanted from some shows, but don't get.
Wait so they never take it back?
They do they do
Just real underwhelming way
