If you’re not a Star Wars fan, it won’t be anything special.

But if you are, it’s Star Wars at some of it’s best.

I loved the original 3 films. The rest, other than Rogue One, fall between mediocre (The Force Awakens, Solo) and steaming Hagg shit (Episodes 1-3)

I think I've seen like 3 episodes of Clone Wars, but I knew enough about the character / her reputation to be excited for the episode, but that intro was just...wow. I turned to my sons after it (meaning, the intro) and already declared it to be the best episode of the series so far.

My wife, decidedly NOT a Star Wars fan, has been enjoying the series, I think, but she was very annoyed with us when we were discussing where the Mandalorian fits in on the Star Wars timeline.

I’m not a Star Wars fan and it’s one of my favorite current airing shows.
If you go into it thinking of it as a space western, it’s the shit.

That’s fair, I just more meant that it’s not really some earth shattering storyline kind of show. It’s heavily propped up by the Star Wars name, IMO.

It’s a fun watch but I don’t think it’s exactly critically acclaimed.

Poor Firefly. If only it had the Star Wars license

Altho space western is pretty old of a concept. Gene Roddenbury pitched Star Trek to NBC as "Wagon Train in space"

So it just now dawned on me that the kid who played young anakin is in fact Jaime from jingle all the way. To confirm, I looked it up. However, while looking it up I stumbled onto the affront to god.
Jingle All the Way 2 (Video 2014) - IMDb

Firefly was also the shit.

Spoiler: Mando

Mace Windu is going to be the one that saved The Child isn’t he?

Spoiler

We never actually saw him die, so who knows. (Can't remember if his final fight was before/during/after Order 66.)

I think we are in for an Ezra Bridger sighting at some point.

He got yeeted right before Anakin became Darth Vader and Sheev executed the order.


Probably didn’t die and hobbled over to the Temple.

Mace Windu being alive would ruin any good will this series has returned to the franchise.

I would rather Sith Lord Binks train the obviously evil child then have a Mace Windu appearance in the Mandalorian.

Samuel L. puts asses in the seats though.

Don’t take this all as I want it to happen. When I made the statement it came with the most eye roll possible situation, but it’s actually possible/plausible in my head.

Man, I hope Disney isn't so desperate for subscribers that they revive a character that should stay dead.

Maybe they'll go full RoS and have a Windu clone and/or a Windu offspring. The offspring would also be played by Samuel L., obviously.

The last few posts are my concern about using big names from the franchise in the series...it takes something away from the story they are telling I feel

Not for nothing but almost every episode has a big name is a cameo role

I think he's talking about characters. Like if they were to bring Luke into this. It's a very fine line to tie into the events using characters that were already created and fairly big, and overshadowing Mando and the Child.

The one thing that bothered me is Ahsoka didn't fight with an underhand grip until the very end. Otherwise, I think it was pretty perfect. Also, I'm excited for the prospect of the return of my second favorite character from animation in Sabine. It's mostly just a hope, but if Ahsoka is still looking for Thrawn, she should be working with Sabine.

I'm not sure we see Ahsoka again in this series, she will more than likely get her own spin-off and I believe that might already be in the works.

I'm also fairly certain that we're going to see Luke in this series in some capacity. It could just be a matter of Mando and The Child showing up to Luke's school as it starts to burn and "Luke" is off in the background. As I was typing that though it made me think more and the timeline doesn't really match up. That's something like twenty or so years from happening from when The Mandalorian takes place so maybe not.

 

[Rebels57]

I dont want any major characters from the movies involved. Its a massive galaxy. Lets keep exploring it and meeting new characters.

That would be fantastic - I liked her too, and she obviously has connections to Mandalore, so it could work perfectly.
