Definitely. In particular, they were so ignorant of the male perspective that it made things both cringe and hilarious at the same time. Like the whole dating woes thing. She Hulk tries internet dating and instantly matches with a never-ending stream of hot guys, rich guys, and other types of Chads. But we're supposed to believe that her life is so tragic and hard when she keeps rejecting them for stupid reasons, like an awkward joke, or being too infatuated with the super-hero thing.

Meanwhile, the writers obviously have no clue that the average heterosexual man - i.e. their audience - only matches 1% of the time, usually with an unspeakable ham-beast. The sheer ignorance of it is unintentionally hilarious. Like who looked at the super hero genre and said "You know what this needs?  Sex and the City."

I'm a couple days behind schedule, but I just watched the most recent Mando episode.  

Holy fuck that sucked.

That story and dialog both were hot garbage.  I can't believe Jon Favreau wrote it.  Not that he's great, but it was total shit.  It was like I was watching a fucking D&D adventure I took part in back in jr high in the mid-80's.  

And that fight at the end?  So the one guy can pull a knife, launch a fucking rocket, and shoot at Bo Katan with a flamethrower??? But she won't pull a blaster and just shoot him in the fucking face?  So dumb.

They did position it wrong. I enjoyed the show for what it was, but I was hoping for the John Byrne Shulkie and I got something else.

It was actually pretty interesting commentary for the most part, even the dating thing.

True, but compared to the past 3 seasons of live-action Disney Star Wars, the original trilogy replaces The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, and The Dark Knight on IMDB's top 100.

If Bo-Katan killed him and then displayed the darksaber you think all the other Mandalorians would refuse to follow her?  

IIRC, Bo-Katan said earlier this season that all Din Djarin had to do was waive the darksaber around and the others would follow him.

Bruh most of those characters have already been introduced, have already had amazing stories with loss, growth, development, evolvement, and sacrifice.

Anybody who is turning down live action Hera, Chopper (for more than the 1 second he was in Rogue One), Sabine, more Ahsoka as some capitulation to Kathleen Kennedy's endorsement of shitty Ray-esque mary sue writing is ignorant. Probably the same idiots who did not appreciate the Zeb cameo in Mando two weeks ago.

They're setting up the Ghost crew's reunion... .They're bringing Thrawn back to reconquer the galaxy...

I, for one, also cannot wait to see live action Jabba show up again... and I wish we could get some Zeb - Kallus action as well.

Pretty sure they did not watch clone wars or rebels.

I am moist waiting to see Ashoka, Sabine and Hera in live action. Their story is not complete.

She was making a moral point.  Yes, she probably could've taken him down with a blaster.  She could've killed him instead of putting a knife to his throat and demanding that he yield.  That's easier.  But pay attention to what she says after - too much Mandalorian blood has been shed, especially by other Mandalorians.  They are stronger together.  Killing him and taking command just leaves them in the same shitty cycle they've been in, where in a couple years someone else will challenge her and kill her.

And while it was unintentional, she and Mando set a new precedent for the Darksaber - not its passing through a challenge (like her challenge to the leader of the Mandalorian mercs), but in defeating an outside threat.  The current wielder of the Darksaber was defeated by something that was a threat to Mandalorians (specifically those on a spiritual quest to the Living Waters).  She defeated that threat in turn, and reclaimed the Darksaber.  This focuses the right of succession around the Darksaber not on defeating the current wielder and taking his place, but that when the current wielder falls to an outsider, Mandalorians should come together to defeat this outside threat and have a new leader in their place.  She had every opportunity to challenge Din for it and she didn't.

Why do you think the other Mandalorians would refuse to follow Bo-Katan if she killed the leader in a duel he accepted AND after she waived around the darksaber?  I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious.

Vendettas, blood fueds. Those sorts of things. It could work out either way, yes. I think F&F are trying to add depth to the Mandos as opposed to them being just guns for hire now. I am probably wrong on that tho.

Yeah, Doomcock was correct on that one. Not sure if he has or had a source in LucasFilm because he hasn’t really been correct with anything since despite claiming the info he shares came from an insider.

I'll be in the minority with you.  I think the episode was actually an example of malicious compliance.  I'm sure, "put Lizzo in season 3" came down in a memo with KK's signature on it.  So, what does she play?

Part of a political ruling dynasty that's 'elected' in a direct democracy, who spends their time indulging in decadence on the back of the taxpayers; the elites - the non-droid citizens - have become so soft that they are unable to care for or provide for themselves.  The police have been defunded, to the point where they don't carry blasters and can't stop violent crimes in progress.  Despite being a direct democracy, there is no freedom - Din and Bo have control of their ship taken from them, and have to papers-please their chain codes.

The 'blue collar workers,' the droids, endure lives of menial labor just so they can hold onto their existence.  And in the end, the villain is a goddamn, unelected, lifelong bureaucrat glowie who is giving the blue collar workers crack nanodroid-infused oil so he can foment civil unrest.

In the Ahsoka trailer, we get a ton of fan service.

About 1 minute in or so, the duel between mystery old man Sith and Ahsoka occurs in the World Between Worlds.

Huyang, the lightsaber building master droid, is the droid seen at the end of the trailer. We saw him in season 5 of TCW in a storyline where Ahsoka takes several younglings (including Gunji, the Wookie Jedi, who we saw early in this season of BB) to Ilum and then must repel an attack from Hondo.

Sabine, Hera, Chopper (again)

I wonder if we’ll get Jacen Syndulla also. He’d be about 9-12 depending on when Ahsoka is set after Mandalorian.

I think reading the final few series of SW novels,  The Fate of the Jedi and the Legacy of the Force, made me realize how crappy most modern, and honestly a lot of the classic stuff is in comparison.  Destroying the classic characters to try and build up the new ones didn't help.  Mando had some fun moments but its never been that well written, just some cool episodes. Boba sucked badly, Kenobi was horrific, just too much nonsensical stuff happening to advance some very thin plot.  And Mando 3 is just as bad as those two.  Though I got my story arc resolution for Luke, Han, etc.  And it wasn't being abject failures.  

I guess I just hit the point where I am no longer interested in watching Marvel or Star Wars just because its Marvel and Star Wars.  The storytelling is atrocious.  Oh well, its just a mostly meaningless way to pass the time so I don't get worked up.  But Mom is still holding onto watching Mando after dinner on Sundays so I'll just keep trying not to ruin it for her with extra commentary. She loves Baby Yoda but as this season is all about Starbuck she is getting annoyed.

Star Wars has always been schlock, entertaining schlock. Some of the EU was bad schlock, some was good schlock. In the end, I was entertained and I hold it near and dear to my heart because it was material that mattered to me. I could voraciously read an EU novel from start to finish in one day.

Finally got around to watching this weeks episode.   Once again this is an episode that belongs in a season with 20 plus episodes.   Being 6th out of 8 is unacceptable at this point.   I liked the look of the city.    I enjoyed Christopher Lloyds character, especially how he still worshipped Dooku.   While I like Jack Black, I couldn’t take him seriously.   The whole time he had that Jack Black face he always has.    It’s the same face he makes all through out Shallow Hal.   Sigh, fucking Lizzo.   I’ve seen better acting from porn stars.  I can’t stand it when singers or sports stars are in a show or movie.   They’re not actors and it shows.   I enjoyed the scene with the Battle Droid.   I liked how it moved, compared to the Clone Wars cartoon were they are slow and balky.   Also enjoyed the robot cantina and how the robot explains how they feel they owe their creators.    The ending fight wasn’t much.   It was meh how Bo got the Dark saber.   Did anyone else notice the I want to fuck” look Bo gives Din after he explained how she won the Saber?  

Overall I give the episode a 5.5/10

This season is definitely weaker but Andor raised the bar so much that this feels like an even bigger step back. What little we saw of the Acolyte trailer is the only thing so far that looks like it has a chance to be as good as Andor.

It would’ve been hard to miss.

Which is a bar about as low as saying someone is more coherent than Joe Biden.

Did some looking on who lizzo is.  Apparently a star wars nerd.

So, I can overlook the acting.  Hell, if Favreau called one of us up and said "shave the beard, put on a wig and pretend to be a senator from epsilon 2" I bet most of us would do it.

Shit, I'd be empress lungtuala fighting for gungan rights if I could be in a sw show.

While doing your research did you find anything BEFORE she got the role where she said she was a Star Wars nerd?

At least Bill Burr was honest about it.

Bill Burr tells Mando he hates Star Wars

Why would I do research prior to last wednesday?
No idea who she was until posts about lizzo.  Thought she might have been the chick from rings of power until this thread.
