mmmmm...beer 691 Posted November 14, 2019 1st episode tonight.. Love it... pretty happy they didn't make it to cheezy (as much ad you can). Music was decent... not overly Star Warsy... fun watch and exciting to see more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Music was decent... not overly Star Warsy... fun watch and exciting to see more! I thought the music was WAY too much---every scene had a massive music bed. Felt like I was watching a soap opera. As for the rest, thought it was more style over substance at this point, with a lot of padding to fill out an episode so it can be a series, rather than a mini-series. It has potential though, I hope that it finds it footing quickly. I have it as a C+ for the open, think it has A-/B+ potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted December 5, 2019 So is everyone else loving this show as much as I am? Episode 5 comes out in the morning. But I’m pleasantly surprised with how good it’s been. Makes me hopeful for more of Disney’s original content shows for the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me hopeful for more of Disney’s original content shows for the future I'm still on the fence---every episode is the same---Mandalorian goes somewhere, meets new ally, encounters obstacle---with blaster and help from ally overcomes obstacle...goes somewhere else. Story wise, I don't find it much different than the spaghetti westerns---just padded out from movie length to episodic length. On the plus side, as a huge fan of Star Wars, I find the production values top notch and happy that there isn't a massive overuse of CGI. Not bad, but after seeing 4 episodes it's a B- so far, just a tad bit better than average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reality 2,710 Posted December 5, 2019 I'm really digging it, excited for each new episode. Coolest part, my 16 year old son is way into it and we watch together. There's not much out now that we watch together consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they showed the woman in the water with a determined look about fighting the bad guys, I made a comment about Pale Rider coming in to save the day and while he's at it he'll ignore the advances of the love interest. My wife, god love her, recognized the Eastwood western reference. In hindsight the Mandalorian is maybe more like Josey Wales, although the people he collects don't seem to stick around.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted November 27, 2020 To me, you sell Star Wars with lightsaber battles. I would watch the sheet out of a Obi Wan TV series starring Ewan McGregor. But I can't seem to be motivated to watch Mandalorian. That's not to say Mandalorian is poorly written, nor am I saying I won't watch it eventually. It might be extremely well written and I might be really into it someday. But i just haven't bothered. You dangle a lightsaber wielding Jedi in a live action TV series in front of me and I sign up immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for the others here...Season 2 episode 5 just came out. And it is awesome. Mandalorian meets up with a Jedi. Talk about light sabering. Yep. This was the best one this season so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted November 27, 2020 I haven’t watched that Star Wars cartoon but apparently the Jedi in today’s episode is from it.

I've seen a bunch of those cartoon episodes and they can be addicting. The girl in the cartoon was young. They made her older in the Mandelorian and nailed the look perfectly.

Where would one find this cartoon? Or should I watch Clone Wars instead (is that a single movie?). Basically what is the best way to get the back story on the Mandalorian, including the Boba Fett story. TIA. I’m enjoying this series and hearing (and reading here) about tie-ins like this, but I’m not a Star Wars expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
