Star Wars "The Mandalorian" Live Action TV Series

[B-Lister]

As long as they don't contradict anything from the OT, I'm cool with it.

I'm glad they have steered clear of overpowered Jedi and flawless characters. I like the fact that, while he is clearly very skilled at his chosen profession, they do not turn him into some superhero... he gets roughed up enough that he doesn't feel invincible. And the choice that he makes: to take the job, turn in the child, take payment and use it to make his armor, and *then* grow a conscience... it is problematic in a way that is far more interesting than if the change of heart happened as soon as he found out what his bounty really was.

Also, there are a lot of great Easter eggs both to Star Wars (like the way they featured the icecream maker from Empire) and to classic Westerns (like the Butch & Sundance shootout).

For now, I am very interested in seeing where they go with this.

I must admit, I'm in. Star Wars burnout is still omnipresent for me but this one has enough interesting things going on that I'm interested in seeing it through. It also doesn't hurt that it's short.

I expected to enjoy this series, but it has roped my entire family in completely. We all love it.

I'm really surprised they don't punk out on the grit you'd need for a bounty hunter/western pastiche. It's odd considering Lucasfilm is obsessed with making Han less "scoundrely", and they'll let the Mandalorian stab people in the back with a vibro-blade! The show has just the right level of violence to make it read real without glorifying it.

Spoilers-








I like that there is a lot to see in the series.

I also think that it's good that things from the setting's past are in it, connecting it all together.

[Brown Bear]

I don’t think I’m alone in saying I’m enjoying this show more than any of the recent movies.

[YoungOnce]

Yes, I agree... I honestly didn’t know if a SW show would work without that iconic music, but this works for me.

It still feels very Star Wars, and my fears that it would be too dark were unfounded. It has a perfect tone.

I certainly have enjoyed it more than I did TLJ.

[CrimsonGhost]

You can sure tell this is made by Disney. It’s odd, I like it in spite of itself. Curious to see the direction it goes with episode 4.

I'll echo everyone's comments on Episode three. Each episode gets better and just ups the game.

Ep3...WOW! Love the new look, too. Hope they make a Hot Toys version of it.

[drquest]

Just watched Ep3 and yes it was quite good.

[Nostalgiabuff]

this weeks episode was great. I never thought I would see a live action battle with "them". that was awesome

[EMCE Hammer]

My sons all had homework last night and we had to put off watching the new episode. I was really tempted to sneak and watch it without them after they went to bed. At this point I have higher expectations for the show than I do Revenge of the Skywalker.

[Bruce Banner]

Ep3 was awesome. So much action! Love this show.

Verizon gave it to us for a year

I have Spectrum so no dice there either Verizon costs more here so no thanks. I don't really care, not getting suckered into buying more equipment.
