Based on your first and now second posts, I'm going out on a limb and say that you haven't read a book, any book, since sophomore year for English class. 

This board has no shortage of idiots so I'm sure you will fit in.

  • In June of 1977, I took a certain college girl out to dinner, and then to see "A New Hope" for our first date.  We hit it off pretty well.  Tonight, we watched the season finale together.  We laughed,

  • I don't give one fuck about the opinions of people who think Rian Johnson made a good Star Wars movie.

The Mandalorian is pretty decent. I don't get all of the hype though. Is this like some circlejerk for dorks I don't understand?

Part of it is that, post-eps VII-IX, SW fans have battered spouse syndrome. Another part is that it is a great space western, like ST:TOS and Firefly. Only the final part involves the hardcore SW fans and the incredible level of fan service from the show.

Idk I try to read 1 to 2 books per month. Hard to do with a busy schedule nowadays, ya know? Anyways, I didn't mean to insult you or your devotion to this show and other shows under the Star Wars umbrella. Carry on.

While I like Gina, I’d rather not see her in the Rangers of the New Republic series. She’s a good bit player, but not a leading woman. I do think we’ll see seeds of the New Republic spin-off in the last two episodes of Mando Season 2. 

I don’t know why, but thicc Gina Carano does it for me. Damn.
Gina had always been thick. Even when she was still fighting.

If it stars Gina, it’s dead on arrival.

So my 2nd grader was in class today, and the teacher was asking about heroes, and going around the room asking for examples, and got the normal "firefighters, soldiers, etc."  My son was apparently about falling out of his seat, raising his hand.  Teacher called on him, and he then spent a few minutes detailing the heroics of the A-Wing pilot who crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer in ROTJ.

When the teacher was telling me this after school, well, this is an approximation of my response:

Am I the only one that is a little apprehensive about all this new content? Disney doesn't exactly have a great track record and Kathleen Kennedy is still in charge of things. If they fired her and Filoni and Favreau were leading the charge, I would have a little more confidence. 

Based on the trailer/Clone Wars pedigree,  I think the Bad Batch will be good. Looks like it will have Tarkin, but I wouldn’t expect any great Star Wars mysteries to be revealed. It’ll be be fun for a season or two and we’ll enjoy it.

Honestly a lot of that content sounds like stuff Kennedy would not have been behind.

Step 1: Bill Burr

Step 2: Show empire affect on locals, have heroes fight "for the empire" for a stretch, show humanity and comradery among empire troops, absolutely reverse that with leadership interaction, Bill Burr kill everybody.

Step 3: MandoDADalorian voicemail, you done fucked up bro.

 

also glad they got the face uncovering out of the way. didn't want that to be the big gotcha moment of the last ep. And officially, no "living thing" has seen his face still

Another fantastic episode.  A lot of fun to watch.    

 

Other thoughts:

  • Boba Fett never looked so good.  Cleaned up that armor and looked like a real bad ass.  
  • Slave I's internal crew cabin rotation was fucking cool.  I had that toy as a kid, and it had the cockpit rotation knob in it.  I enjoyed that. 
  • Bill Burr did a great job as Mayfeld.
  • Operation Cinder from Bill Burr was an outstanding drop as well.  Anyone who has played Battlefront knows what that's all about.  Great drop in and call back.  
  • I never grow tired of watching Stormtroopers get blasted.  

Next week should be an awesome finale. We have to see a surprise in the finale, right?  Ezra, Thrawn, Ahsoka showing back up, or at a minimum Bo Katan coming back to reclaim the Dark Saber. 

It's going to be a long week!

Yeah, if Kennedy was anything but a figure head, we'd have a series dedicated to Rose Tico and her favorite space horse.

 

This was a good episode. A great one actually. But it wasn't on the same level as many of the episodes this season. That only speaks to how awesome this show is. In Filoni we trust.

The stormtrooper’s reaction after the officer was shot in the mess hall was hilarious.

Yeah, I enjoyed the Operation Cinder callout.

The inside of Slave I was so cool

they've got an all star lineup of creators running the new content

I like that a face scan is apparently not to match the user's visage to a database to ensure security but, as the name literally implies, to verify that the person has a face.

Those special moments when you know that you've done your job as a parent.

At a meeting with my daughter's kindergarten teacher years ago, the teacher mentioned that she was a little troubled that when she brought up that her brother lives in Oklahoma, my daughter yelled out "your brother is a cheater and not a good person." You've just got to raise them right, instill good values, and then hope for the best.

Security for disgruntled droids.

Shouldn't be.  Pretty Clear Favrau and Filoni are pretty much running the Small Screen Stuff.  If Patty Jenkins can do a similar job with Rogue Squadron that she did with WW1, It'll be fine. 

Kennedy is just a figure head IMO.  At least I hope.

I think Burr should be a series regular. Other than Grogu doing adorable stuff, it’s just not a very funny show. Burr brings the comedy relief. 

Well that was fun as hell.  Gotta think Bill Burr shows up again maybe next season.  He's a great character.  

I have been waiting for the Slave 1 to open up some whoop ass like when Jango engaged Obi Wan.

The seismic charge was badass.

This episode was really good, nice mix of action and “no matter the players, politics is the same and some people are just evil”.

Slave 1's cabin rotating just was some of the coolest shit I've seen. 

Moff Gideon, I'm coming to get youuuuuuu.

So Seven Samurai looks like it will be Din, Cara, Boba, Fennec, Bo Katan, and the two expendable Mandos.

Anyone else think Bill Burr will be a regular on the Rangers of the New Republic series? He was fantastic in this episode. The slow boil while he was getting angrier and angrier with his former CO was some great tension.

That would be greaaaaaaaat

The Mando taunting wrestling hologram was great. Don’t mess with Papa Bear.

I think Burr will be in the Rangers show. His character had a major arc point to build to his joining up with the new republic.

how come in star wars they got all this speeder, hyperspace traveling technology, but the zapping guns fire literally slower than a bow and arrow, and none of these things have automatic targeting technology?

Because it’s cheaper to mass produce blaster rifles without targeting systems.

The private sector military contracts aren’t paying for themselves


I should add that there are a couple of rifles that were autotarget rifles but as per the books they were were more expensive and not readily deployed with troops

I’ve never wanted profanity in Star Wars so much in my life. Burr is great. 
 

The seismic charge was badass. You get to use those in the Battlefront games. The dual snipers picking off stormtroopers was really satisfying too.

Sniping while standing, with no gun rest. As snipers do.
