Star Wars - The Mandalorian
« on: November 15, 2019, 02:38:06 PM »
Two episodes in- and I absolutely love it. If you don't like Star Wars, or the western movie genre, don't bother.

I LOVE western movies, and I love Star Wars - and this series so far perfectly melds the two. The music, feel and scope is completely unique, and wonderful.

Its totally Star Wars, but nothing like it.

Lets discuss.

I caved and got Disney +.

Maybe that’s the future for the franchise, good TV series.

It’s really a bargain compared to Netflix. Up to 4 users at the same time can stream and that’s below 10$/month. I’m sharing mine with the whole family.  :D

I don’t know if I’ll personally watch much, although they do have Nat Geo programming that might interest me. But my 2 « young adult » kids are excited that they’ll have access to their childhood favorites.

So I watched all of it and really liked the whole series. I’m ranking it in the same vein as Rogue One, which I appreciated more than most of the last trilogy.

But there’s one little thing that I found annoying: this thing takes place after ROTJ and none of the characters seem familiar with The Force. WTF?  :o

I'm half way through the series.  Was surprised to see storm troopers.  At first glance their outfits seem very old like they're not really the Empire but just a bunch of people dressing up in old uniforms they found and calling themselves part of the empire.  Herzog is perfect in this series- creepy.

Binged the last four episodes last night with 2 bottles of wine (flying solo from the wife and kid for a week so i've got my stack of films and tv to get through).  Episodes 5 and 8 were my favorites.  I thought the set-up for the villain exiting the TIE fighter was going to be a well-known character.  Not sure who Gus Fring is, but the fact he has a black light saber is cool.

i didn't want to give Disney any money, but the person who rents a room from me got the free week trial.  This guy bought youtube TV just to watch Cobra Kai though...  Mandalorian might be worth paying for a month at least.
