The Mandalorian (and a discussion of Disney+)

[Lord Ash]

His final duel with Obi Wan is one of my favorite Star Wars moments of all time. All hail Dave Filoni!

Yeah, that duel and Obi-wan's dialogue are absolutely amazing. One of the only EU exchanges that I have remembered from a single viewing.

As they say in Cameron...Ahhhhhhh Seeeeeeeeeeya!

[Lord Ash]

TOTALLY fine with that, she was a TERRIBLE actor. I found her laughably bad.

Just finished Season 2. It was a lot of fun. Will be interested to see where things go for Season 3. Lots of fun story lines to explore.

I'll be honest, I didn't really like any of the primary or secondary characters, even though I liked the show. All the characters in the prison episode were awful. The guy he met early on that ended up helping him all the time was weird. Cara Dune wasn't good. Didn't love Ahsoka's performance. Didn't love Bo Katan. Mando, Moff Gideon and the guy that gave out the bounty contracts were solid and that's about it as far as live action performers.

I long for the day when folks learn that every thought they have doesn't need to be tweeted or posted or instagrammed or whatever. Keep it among your friends and off the internet and there won't be problems.

Bill Burr was very Bill Burr-ish. Which I like.

I've never liked Burr, in any format (stand-up, podcasting, acting).

And honestly Mando's character was pretty bland himself (monotone voice, minimal emotional arc), so it's not like it required stellar acting. But then again, the acting skill has never been a key to the success of Star Wars, so it's no big deal. The story line and the special effects were the key.

Gideon was quite good, and Carl Weathers is always fun. The woman who Ahsoka fought was good for her one episode. But it's the storyline and action sequences that have carried the show.

I feel I should be reading these in Clint Eastwood's voice.

I see a vast difference between the two, personally. I suspect many others do as well. But I won't dig into it here.

I am unsurprised that Disney agreed, and I don't think it has anything to do with a particular agenda.

I think they fired her from previous run in ins. I just found it hypocritical.
I do not care to have a political discussion on this either.even though i myself made the mistake of mentioning it.

[PackMan97]

True

Sometimes it's people saying they don't like any warm fruit, or maybe the are Tarheel fans, or whatever. You just don't need to put it out there for the world to know about. Sometimes it's politics. Whatevs. The world would be a better place with less talking.

Agree .

Surprised no one has talked about the special technology at the end of the season. Still feels like that sort of thing is a few years away but it’s getting darn close.

Has scary implications for the real world, frankly.

It's weird that Disney with all their talents didn't do the best job of it, yet others have created some way scary deep fakes.

Yeah. The reveal wasn’t too bad but once it started talking it was pretty noticeable.
