he's five years younger than ming-na wen

Which makes all of these people about the same age as Darth Vader if he wasn’t dead. Being a Sith Lord or a Jedi Master puts some fucking miles on you, I tell ya.

xp yeah, but Ming-Na Wen is a goddamn immortal so... also they gave Boba some gnarly Mad Max-esque face makeup

There's no way that Baby Yoda isn't reunited with Mando by the end of the first episode of season 3, right?

xbox cutscene luke was deeply underwhelming, though I salute the thought. Love the variant final music. Cracked up over fat Bib Fortuna. I was thinking they'd need to get Mando a baby wookie or something but I guess it's "Book of Boba Fett" time instead? I'm up for one more spin.

idg why, given the ability to summon characters and actors across decades and galaxies, they would insist on using gina carono again and again
i guess she does add a certain jankiness, if much less so than giancarlo being such a wuss
― mookieproof, Saturday, 19 December 2020 05:37 (three years ago) link
All the imperials are fey. Gina carano has an enjoyable physicality, terfiness aside, which ill be charitable and chalk up to jock head trauma (ymmv)

I thought this was a terrible ending. Cool deus ex machina from the movies?? So wack. Couldn’t they let this be self contained? I’m so mad I wasted all this time on this show

i’ve no complaints with her physicality, and admittedly she’s given nothing but ridiculous lines. but so is everyone else — she just can’t pull it off

plus they keep setting her up
that WOOOO when they returned from their raid with apollo creed was an insult

Usually you let the characters from the show be the ones that you know meet the challenge and defeat it ... this just made it all seem pointless. And undermined their relationship

need a stormtrooper body count too

i hate star wars and i liked this show until the last 10 minutes of this one. what a waste of time.

Loved it, btw. I’ll take a deus ex hamill any day (and obviously that was always gonna be one of the potential options, once it was clear where they were going – but I didn’t think it would be handled this well).

the final trooper mow-down scene struck me as a tip to the Vader scene in Rogue One.

I thought it was funny when Mando asked... “Are you a Jedi?” That deserves an array of Al Jaffee-style “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions”

wasn't very happy about that deus ex machina bit.THought he was effective though. & those black trooper thigies are quite formidable.Is 8 a number that is turning up a lot in terms of series length. I think utopia which I'm also currently watching through has that number too.Keep thinking of 10s so was slightly surprised when this was coming to a series denouement.
Is there a possibility of a Mandalorian without a baby yoda in, is he up to the task. Is next series going to be focused on the freeig of Mandalore. Like what are teh spinoffs of spinoffs possibilities.Timothy Oliphant going to pop up in a new sci fi western show all of his own or anything?I mean Star Wars teh gift that just keeps giving, double digits of SW shows at one time just must mean more to go around innit. The more the merrier.
Oh yeah just thought how loong is the conscious history of the Star Wars saga, is there much space for far pre or post the Luke Skywalker saga or is that pushing things.

Likewise slightly perplexed at deus ex machina arrival at climax. Wrote many words here:https://sickmouthy.wordpress.com/2020/12/19/some-thoughts-on-star-wars/

Nah he'll turn up with new Jedi skills to get Mando out of a tight spot in the season finale.
On the one hand the show relies way to much on DEMs and last minute rescues and it was nakedly manipulative fan service and Luke's face looked like it was going to fall off every time he spoke but on the other I was whooping with a massive grin for the whole third act.

One thing I liked about the final final bit was me going “That throne setup is pretty great, kinda Frazetta-does-Conan/_Princess of Mars_ stuff, wonder why I never made that connection before...” and then remembering that, duh, Jabba wasn’t in need of a throne.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 19 December 2020 14:18 (three years ago) link
There’s an undercurrent of explicitly connecting all the non-film (cartoon, Disney attraction) material to the original trilogy so.. who would show up was kind of in the cards? I was still entertained, if kind of underwhelmed, by the reveal
Moff Gideon going from smug to scared when his BRILLIANT DARK TROOPER MASTERSTROKE failed was funny

fwiw I'm 90% sure when Luke said "I am" that it was a callback if not the same recording as when he said "I am, like my father before me"
