Ya I watched it twice this morning thinking I wouldn’t have time to finish the second round before work. Seemed short but I thought I was just having fun.
We didn't even talk about last week! It was good, nothing amazing, but I liked the action and the humor and the backstory stuff.
The IG statue was class.

I thought it was fun and entertaining, it just didn't really move the overall story forward too much, other than more Baby Yoda force powers, Dark Troopers, etc..
I want this to be a movie already, the drip drip drip is a lot!
All the good cameos. And now we know a villian from Rebels is alive. So hopefully the hero is too. That was a huge reveal. WHO will be cast as live action Thrawn? Any guesses.
MOD EDIT: Refrain from episode spoilers for 48 hours please.

I like that you don’t have to have seen all the other shows to enjoy it though. If anything, it’ll make me do back and watch them after the fact to get the full references. Even without the full background, this episode was badass!
Yeah, wow... That was... wow... lots of action, lots of fan service, lots of peril... Oh no, not the...
Razorcrest!!!
Spoiler shut the F up I warned you
So glad I didn’t put down the cash for that thing.
Had to pause at that moment & tell the wife the money I didn’t spend & how many tears were flying from fanboys

Honestly, I think if a ton of people cancel their orders, it'll only increase the value long term for said item since it'll be a lot more rare.
I have a feeling we'll see a similar one before too long.

Yeah, they’ll need a similarly iconic replacement for that. Hopefully another of the same for the fanboys.
My daughter speculated that they might free up another well known spaceship for the leading role...

I would be cool if they used another YT-1300 or similar variant, but they've been loathe to encroach on the Falcon's look. I assume Han and Chewie are still flying around in it now.
My biggest Q left is how they end up tying this all into the ST. I like the cloning stuff, as that ties into Palpy coming back.. but all the rest is so uncertain due to the way they boxed themselves in with the ST (God I hate the ST).
I wonder if we'll see a de-aged Luke saving Grogu (a la Marvel). THAT would break the internets.
That would be hilarious if Mando (Or Fett) was the one who stole the MF & flew it around for a season.
Would be kind of weird to finally bring him back and then kill him off a couple episodes later.
I don't think I'd want to see Mando in the Slave 1 either.. feels too on the nose. Disney can market the hell out of the 'continuing adventures of Boba Fett' in their new EU (books/games/etc) if he stays alive and just goes off and does his own thing.
Maybe he'll liberate an Imperial shuttle or something while rescuing Grogu?
My hope is it’s Mace Windu that comes in.
I think given his age and what he’s been through, he wouldn’t be so powerful that he’d outshine Mando in his own series.
I also kind of hope there is a tangent that solidifies this as it’s own story, going in its own direction, that doesn’t connect with the First Order and the latest trilogy. People suspect all of these things are linear tie ins to the First Order but it could be its own thing.
If it keeps trying to connect then it’s just going to write itself into a corner. That’s kind of the problem the prequels ran into.

I dunno, there is still so much time (30+ years in story) until the sequel trilogy.. they have more than enough time to do fun stories that don't all have to go OOOO LOOK FIRST ORDER IS COMING! As it is, I think the FO was supposed to be pretty secret (somehow), which is why they took the galaxy by surprise.
I DO wish they'd just casually forget about the ST and in 5-10 years just say that's all "Legends" material now.
Mining these years of the SW lore are PRIME.. it's going to be very familiar to the OT, very little is already explained now that the old EU is Legends.. Luke/Han/Leia/etc can be around in cartoons/animated/etc. Some liberal use of the "Marvel-esque" de-aging could do wonders too.
Good episode this week! Not quite as great (or impactful) as the last couple, but had some great scenes and I thought the slower talk-y stuff worked especially well at fleshing out the galaxy. Even a SW Battlefront II reference!
Some of the other stuff was really cool to see in action as well.
Can't believe there is only 1 episode left

I thought it was pretty good. I liked how it humanized the ex-Imp guy and took the PTSD route. I kinda knew where it was going for much of it, but really enjoyed the ride.
What I didn’t see coming was Mando being recognized by the data link station. What’s his face doing on the “ok to retrieve info“ list for the Imperial database?
It’s like the whole universe runs on 1970s level of computer security, you got through an actual door? You good, to access this data.
Yeah it seems like it just needed to recognize a face. Maybe Imp tech just won't work for aliens or droids or something. Definitely low tech.
Watched it at 12:01 AM to avoid any and all spoilers and BOY WAS I REWARDED!
I think I may STILL be hard!
So good, very fun, wish it was longer (don't we all), but really Mando is a proper sequel to ROTJ and the cartoon shows all in one. Impressive, most... impressive.

Not complaining about a rumored Boba show anymore, just not sure if its really in place of season 3 or not.
Yeah it's not clear to me either, is the Book of Fett = Season 3? Or is it a different show? Mando Season 3 is supposed to air the same month & year, so would they be doing 2 concurrent shows? I dunno, but I'm damn excited!
Also, they said Fennec Shan (asian assassin) is going to be in the Bad Batch cartoon to give her some backstory, which is cool.
Thankfully midnight here.. but it's still late.. but it's been worth it to remain spoiler free!!
That was comparable to the Vader scene in RO... and the CGI was passible.
Also, if you‘re gonna do a ”girl power” scene, that’s how you do it. Not at all contrived and perfectly organic.
And thank you to them for properly executing a determined, capable and generally badass (with a heart of gold) father figure in modern cinema.
Not sure what to make of the post credit scene... but I like it.
