jfc how am I gonna catch up

And apparently seven or eight other new shows yet to be announced? Unclear if the "10" they referenced during today's call includes Mando or not.

gotta try clone wars from the beginning AGAIN.

oh wait, it's a pandemic and I have nothing to do

I've seen scattered episodes of Clone Wars before, but just started over watching it through from the start with my son. Digging it a lot so far.

Warning you that the first two seasons are kinda dogs with some good points, but the show gets better quickly around season 3. By the end I didn't regret investing in it, though it took me years to finally finish it

man, i have a hard time with shows like that. it's like making nachos and saying "well the outer layer is all feces and pubic hair but once you eat all that the bottom is really fuckin' tasty"

is there like an ep guide for the essential eps of those seasons

this is the whole reason I've put off Babylon 5

That's why it helps to watch it with an excited 9 year-old, he gets so excited by the cameos and references that it still ends up kinda fun to watch, even during the slow episodes.

I fear massive diminishing returns.

Guessing we need a new thread, hold on here...

Enjoy

Star Wars: The Disney+ Empire Strikes Again and Again and...

Think I'll stick with this and the Obi-Wan series.

thanking u

xxp Maybe the Acolyte thing too, that sounds interesting.

why because it look intersting

That was...fine.

Yeah, solid enough episode.

What, no Tangerine Dream soundtrack!?

there's still a sense of moral satisfaction when a show makes it absolutely clear that a guy is utterly terrible and should be shot only for him, inevitably, to get shot

what a ghoul

TPS reports, lol

GOOD EP

I'm surprised people seem kind of meh, I though on the level of pure Star Wars action this was maybe the best of the season! Fantastically shot and the ghoulish guy out-menaced Giancarlo Esposito which is no easy task.

yeah, that coda was pure cheese in a good way

HE'LL NEVER LOVE YOU

the bit about how much he means to Mando </3

It was pretty sweet. Doesn't put the episode over the top considering there wasn't a single shot of Grogster

I get the Tangerine Dream soundtrack I assume is a reference to Sorcerer...I came here to see if anyone was namedropping Wages of Fear. I quite liked this episode.

i've got a couple friends who i talk to about this show and I mentioned I thought the truck sequence was referencing an old french thriller they might enjoy and got some pretty hard eyerolls

Was this the first appearance of tires in the Star Wars cinematic universe?

did they discover....America?

Dug this, good combination of set pieces and melodrama for me. 👍

xp I was thinking of Wages of Fear too! Though of course the Tarantino refs overshadowed that pretty quickly

Just caught up on the first 7 episodes and I'm so impressed thus far. After the OG trilogy, Mando S2 is my next favorite SW thing. The first season had some bad episodes, and I see not everyone is hot on all the episodes this season, but all 7 have worked for me. Dawson is so perfect as Ahsoka - there's something about the writing and her acting that connects perfectly to the character in Clone Wars (haven't seen Rebels), even though so many years have passed. I thought the quiet moments between her, Mando, and the Child were wonderful

I wonder if there will be any lasting impact to Mando having to show his face

lmao the Office Space reference was unexpected

Id never seen ahsoka because not a cloner but i wish she dint have oompa loompa eyebrows

What do you get when your master's a Sith?
Was the proph-e-cy merely a myth?
When fate shuts a Windau, where can you turn next?
Can guidance be found in the Jedi text?

I don't like the look of it

Nice to hear a non-British accent on a high-ranking Imp. For a moment I thought it was Eric Roberts.

for once I'd love someone with a thick Southie accent to be an Imperial leader

is this the first time we see a Star Wars "jail"?

lol at the ED-209-esque robot security guard

since when does a blaster "click"

xpost -- Nope: following the introduction pre-title sequence a prison planet is the very first part of Rogue One. (Also in The Clone Wars there's a few episodes revolving around a jail on Coruscant or featuring it.)

I keep forgetting

We're not in love oh wait
