As for Mando S3...I am disappointed that they brought Grogu back...especially that they did it in another show. I am worried he is going to become the way they get Din out of a lot of bad situations. |

Yeah, Boba wrecking Stormtroopers in Mando season 2 was greatness. Stumbling around in BoBF, helmetless, getting his ass kicked by Krssantan and being super naive, not so much. I think Boba works much better as a supporting character.
As far as Grogu, I'm beginning to suspect, that he is "the Mandalorian," not Din Jarrin. We just haven't seen it happen yet. |

I have no idea where this season is going to go (besides to Mandalore, I guess). After BoBF, I'm just hoping it's decent. I'm hopeful since S1 and S2 were good, but it's going to be tough following up Andor. It airs at midnight but I don't think I'll be able to watch until tomorrow night.

Rook being the Armorer is an interesting thought and makes a little sense. It's hard to ignore the horns on her helmet, a very obvious nod to Deathwatch.
It would be nice if that history is explained more. How exactly The Watch ended up as this cult. We could also get a glimpse of what the Empire did on Mandalore. I do agree that of the possible surprise appearances, Sabine Wren is by far the most likely, especially considering her history with the Darksaber. |

It was said in the episode by Gideon. It's the story of the Darksaber that matters; it must be won in combat to demonstrate a strong leader. Implies that Katan lost followers before when she possessed it from a gift. (She also lost the Darksaber somehow). She won't be getting new support if takes it as a gift again. |

BB episode had so much potential, especially with the opening.
A space horro episode! I was stoked. Then it became a clone wars episode... Mando makes me want to buy a double barrel shotgun and install a thumbhole stock.  Rebels reference was a nice touch. And if Steve Irwin ever said "this is the way to catch/tie/whatever", I'm sure a sound bite with a pic from the episode will be a meme.  "If you say so."

I loved season 1 and 2 but the of S3E1 was a bit of a disappointment. I feel like they are taking from the BoBF script with the scooter power rangers for the pirates (who look like they came off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean).
Click To View Spoiler I hope they go back to the former gritty style and focus more on the actual plot and don’t throw in cheesy filler characters or pointless side quests that don’t further the story like BoBF did. |

Well, lots of fun Star Wars content today.
Mandalorian Looks like I was dead wrong about Bo Katan's dialogue - she was talking to Din after all. I thought the show had a strong start, but the hopping around was bit choppy. I thought the pirate guy was a little cringe, but the asteroid chase was fun. The Pirate Captain though, WTF was with plant Davey Jones? I sure hope we don't see any more of him. Overall, I thought the sets were nicer and certainly felt like Star Wars. The two big easter eggs I saw were the Purrgil (space whales) which was super cool, and when Din first walks up to the IG-11 statue, a Convir flies off - those are usually associated with Ahsoka. Two things that surprised me: Click To View Spoiler Bad Batch Great episode. I really get the feeling they are going to have a falling out with Cid soon. I too fell for the "oh, it's Star Wars meets Aliens" only to see it was a Clone Wars thing. But I was just talking about it the other day so that's cool. T It also looks like we have a new bag guy now that Admiral Rampart is out of the way. Click To View Spoiler |

I thought it was an excellent kick off to Season 3, loved every second of it.
Woke free, solid acting, good pacing, and action packed. What more could you want? Dave Filoni's style is to do these side quest style episodes, because in those you can get a lot of character development that will pay off later. |

Mando was good. Bad Batch was great. Just about everything has been covered in this thread by now.
Omega announcing herself to the Kaminoan prime minister guy was a bad idea. Who could have seen that coming?  Mando spent the whole episode setting up every thread for the season. That's one way to do it, I guess. I did like that not only did Cara Dune get a mention, they explained her absence in a positive light. "Special Forces", not "oh, she was actually a serial killer and we had to hang her in the public square". Stoked to see the purgill. Missed the Ahsoka owl. Will have to go back. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MarkMustang: Well, lots of fun Star Wars content today. Mandalorian Looks like I was dead wrong about Bo Katan's dialogue - she was talking to Din after all. I thought the show had a strong start, but the hopping around was bit choppy. I thought the pirate guy was a little cringe, but the asteroid chase was fun. The Pirate Captain though, WTF was with plant Davey Jones? I sure hope we don't see any more of him. Overall, I thought the sets were nicer and certainly felt like Star Wars. The two big easter eggs I saw were the Purrgil (space whales) which was super cool, and when Din first walks up to the IG-11 statue, a Convir flies off - those are usually associated with Ahsoka.

I too fell for the "oh, it's Star Wars meets Aliens" only to see it was a Clone Wars thing. But I was just talking about it the other day so that's cool. T It also looks like we have a new bag guy now that Admiral Rampart is out of the way. Click To View Spoiler Click To View Spoiler |

The purgil were a surprise. I wonder if that was it or if it foreshadows more. I also wonder how many Mando fans who haven’t seen Rebels were all WTF are those whales?? BB sadly reinforces the sequel trilogy emperor cloning shit. Handled well in episode, but just reminds me of how much I hate the sequel trilogy I haven’t watched Rebels (yet - still making my way slowly through Clone Wars) and thought that very thing. I missed the cloning mention/reference - was that in this ep of Mando? Today's Bad Batch episode. Ah, thanks. I’m… quite a ways behind you guys on that front. I never jump into this thread until caught up. Too many spoilers. I’ll get there eventually. Spoilers for a show I hadn’t even considered watching until I get time don’t worry me. |
