I wonder if those fighters you see Din going against are meant to be R-41 Starchasers. They're not quite the same, but very close.

It's been a long time since I've seen rebels and I can't remember, were Ezra and Sabine a thing, or at least heading that way, by the end? I feel there was a decent age gap

Initially thought that from the video camera recording of the trailer but I'd bet more that they're that lovely Porsche fighter they made a couple years back (which got a cameo in Obi-Wan)

Mando's cult is probably an offshoot of Death Watch so it's an Idiot Civil War.

This season supposedly features a big time skip, do you suppose it’ll be up front or mid-season? Carl Weathers seems to have been through a lot in the mean time.

I love the Mandalorian but don't really give two shits about Mandalorians. But I get they have to make him King or something for some reason. Just let the guy go around killing idiots while teaching his kid to kill idiots for a bit first.

Apparently when Jon Favreau originally pitched the show, he settled on doing a western about a Mandalorian OC because he figured they'd never let him do a show about Boba Fett. When he mentioned his idea, Lucasfilm got him connected with Filoni, who was developing his own ideas for what happened to the Mandalorians as a culture after Clone Wars and Rebels. So it was kind of inevitable that the whole Mandalorian Game of Thrones stuff would creep into the series with Filoni working on it, and I wonder if any Favreau's original ideas for where the show might go prior to Filoni went to Book of Boba Fett instead? The "bounty hunter rises to crime lord, but a nice one" arc makes more sense if Din's trying to clean up the town to create a place to raise his kid, and Greef Karga makes more sense as a political advisor than Fennec Shand.

It’s likely going to combine the best of both worlds just like the series has done so far. You’ll have 3-4 big epic story episodes and the rest will be one off adventures. Have faith.

mutata posted:lol this post I mean, they’re right though. That’s what the Mandalorian as a show does. A mix of episodic and serialized content. Dunno why you would expect otherwise at this point. It’s not impossible they could buck the trend, but as a default assumption it seems more than reasonable.

We are absolutely gonna have episode or two where the Naboo fighter breaks down on route to the main plot planet and Mando has to save a village from monsters/empire, etc. Gonna own, can’t wait. It’s always funny how in the past the complaints were always that Mando’s plot is going nowhere and now the complaints are that Mando’s plot needs to slow down.

I think the complaint is that the plot of The Mandolorian has completely changed between S2 and S3 and the entire premise of the series was completely upended & derailed in a totally different show, essentially happening off screen for people who didn’t watch BoBF

As others have said there'll be plenty of one off adventure to enjoy between the Mandalorian stuff.

We need to distract audiences with the Mandalore storyline so that it's a surprise when older, Handsome Squidward Grogu appears to wreck poo poo up Jedi style.

Unpopular opinion: Andor has such a cool maturity to it that it kinda makes the Clone Wars-Rebels-Mandalorian-Ahsoka lovefest feel juvenile and indulgent to me. Even Obi-Wan Kenobi, for its faults, by not having Filoni's voice in it it felt different and wasn't cameo city.

It's also based upon some full scenes that have been released which had a certain tone to them. And for what it's worth, Gilroy is a pretty big "I'm not a Star Wars nerd" guy in his interviews. The original Andor pitch had a big pivot after the original showrunner left. Gilroy was asked for feedback on what they had, and he had a ton of notes on how the story should work that he gave to Kennedy. She loved it and he was brought in to refocus the story and tone.

Andor is trying to recapture that fan mentality of "not your dad's kiddy star wars" that Rogue One aimed for (and fell short of most of the time). I'll give it a watch but if it is going for a hardline stance I hope it commits to it rather than tossing it aside for fanservice like Rogue One ended up doing.

I thought Rogue One was widely regarded as A Good Star War by hardcore nerds and casual fans alike. I only saw it once right after it came out on Blu-Ray, but I remember thinking it was a solid B+.

It's fine but there was definitely an attitude surrounding the film of it being darker and more mature than other star wars films despite it not really being that.

Rogue One comes more directly out of Filoni stuff than any other live action Star Wars movie. Saw Gerrera was in it. It’s less goofy than CW/Rebels, but takes a lot of cues from it. I guess you can argue Solo kind of ties into the Filoni stuff as well but it’s much more tenuous imo.

IIRC, Forest Whitaker's character had another name originally, and at some point they decided to turn him into an old Saw Gerrera to establish some kind of continuity with the Clone Wars show. Gerrera looks completely different in The Clone Wars (blue eyes, for one), and Rebels actually did a decent job of bridging the two looks retroactively.

You can also see Chopper tooling around the Rebel Base and at one point the intercom is calling for General Syndulla. Plus I believe the Ghost is shown at one point.
