Seconding every parsec of love for The Mandalorian, holy biscuits this would have blown my mind at ten.

Fake edit because I left this post open and kept watching: holy poo poo lmao, this loving show, I'm so completely, hopelessly sold.

E2 oh my God I recognize every single alien, this is like a heartfelt apology for episodes I-III. Ok I have to close the thread or I'm going to keep doing this

The Mandalorian feels like it's what the new star wars movies should have been. I hope it can keep it up.

Has anyone else watched Daybreak on Netflix? Just finished it and I found myself really enjoying it.

I was entertained the whole way through but like many Netflix series aimed at young audiences it tries too hard, has a very Nickolodeon-ish feel, pads out a thin story with lots of character centric episodes (not necessarily a bad thing) and the ending did the GOT/Bran thing where the least valuable character inexplicably seizes power. On the upside it's exciting, has good characters, mostly excellent casting, and is easy to watch.

Or if you ask many Star Wars fans, an apology for the Disney Star Wars movies and a return to form of the Prequel era.

The pilot is directed by Dave Filoni after all.

I'm a huge Disney Parks nerd but even if you're not The Imagineering Story is very well done.

Also today I learned Smart House was directed by Levar Burton.

Yea I mean it's only one episode so I would hesitate to make any judgments just yet, but so far The Mandalorian is excellent.

My only complaint is that I wanted him and his robot buddy to keep having adventures but instead he had to kill him. Oh well.

The silhouette of the robot buddy shows up on a bunch of the promo materials, wouldn't be surprised to see him again

It also never occurred to me that they could easily just have the Mandalorian meet different individual droids of the same model.

Besides I guess tracking him, based on the ending of the episode we find out they can be programmed to self destruct

I was thinking too that you can't really read a droid. A trained killer can look at a dude and say, 'Yeah I don't trust you.' Can't do that with a droid. For a guy like Mr. Mando, a droid is a liability more than anything else.

His flashback during the forging scene shows he’s a war orphan who likely lost his parents to a droid attack in the Clone Wars.

A lot of people in Star Wars are prejudiced against droids. This is already established.

Jack Ryan was so dumb this season. The secret plot to mine for valuable minerals in their own country didn’t require any cover up at all, meaning there was never any reason to kill the senator.

What should have happened was they go down to Venezuela and ask about what’s up, and the government tells them its a mining operation, mind your own business and then they just leave the country.

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this. I kept waiting for them to uncover an actual illegal conspiracy other than hiring a hitman and whatnot. I feel like I missed something..

How many episodes is The Mandalorian? I was expecting maybe 8 or 10 which would air over the course of a few months and then I'd just cancel.

In that case you might as well just subscribe for one month when it finishes?

FWIW I think this is kind of overshadowed but it sounds like even if you have Hulu w/ no ads you can get a $6 monthly credit towards Disney+

I signed up on that D23 3 year deal so I'm just sort of set for a while, but might be worth looking into.
