I watched Disney's Gallery thing on this which is basically a making of documentary type thing. Maybe while some of us weren't too impressed with the story or the writing, just seeing what went into their production is pretty impressive. I think they have some talented and passionate people working on this.
One thing I was kind of amazed by was how they did their sets. I probably won't explain it correctly but they used this thing they called 'The Volume' which is basically a studio set surrounded by giant led screens on which you can display your background. It's essentially a better version of a blue/green screen. With the green screens you would have to shoot your scene and edit the background in post. In the Volume, you can shoot the background in real time. The background is also dynamic and you can make it move because it uses video game engine technology. This is really cool imo and it creates a much more immersive experience for the actors because they feel like they're actually there. Not only is acting better but all the editing stuff like lighting and whatnot is better too because it's a lot more real.
I believe these guys were the first to do this but it's actually sort of a combination of different technologies people have been using for years. This is basically what George wanted to do with the prequels but the technology just wasn't there. George was definitely ahead of his time

He was planning to do each episode with like $4 million which is nothing compared to Mando's $15 mil per episode. I know they never will though lol. But at the least I hope someone borrows ideas from those scripts I'm sure there was a lot of cool stuff in there |

Found this downvoted to hell on r/saltierthancrait
Ah yes the badass Droid who is ridiculously overpowered, that somehow beats the Mandalorian to the destination, despite Mando learning that the terrain is not traversable without a blurg. He then walks out in the open, confronting dozens of soldiers by himself, announcing his presence before opening fire instead of getting the jump on them like an assassin Droid would.
Then moments later, he surrenders against even less soldiers, willing to blow himself up the moment the fight isn't going his way. Trying several times to the point where it's comedic. Taking several heavy Blaster shots that are able to melt down a door, but 1 pistol shot to the head destroys him. Let's not forget that the Empire wanted baby Yoda dead or alive, IG 11 says dead only and Mendo is I think like that was the order the whole time.
He disappears for most of the season, comes back later and for some reason has to be trained to walk again like a baby. Doesn't show up at all to help/defend Kuill. Instead of letting him get shot right outside, ignoring those sounds and not going to rescue baby Yoda until much later. He does not use the guns on the razor crest to cover his friend and baby Yoda approaching. He then decides to bring baby Yoda into the target Zone, and help Mandalorian while putting baby Yoda at extreme risk, instead of securing him on the ship and showing up with that instead. Nuking the Imperial forces from above with the massive cannons on board and heavy armor, instead settling for a old Imperial Scout bike with no cover whatsoever and immediately ditching it.
Oh yes. And let's not forget that despite two out of four of them being extremely armored and one having a jetpack, he decides to blow himself up to kill roughly 10 Stormtroopers, despite mowing down more than that earlier in the episode. As they couldn't have him around to shoot down the Tie Fighter plus he probably costed too much in the CGI budget.
He didn't have many scenes to dissect, but despite loving the time he was on screen. The Mandalorian is the worst written TV show I have ever seen. The writing quality is truly shocking and appalling. It's amazing how it's getting so much praise, Dave filoni is a hack writer that just stuff the screen with fanservice and people eat that shit up like the force awakens when it first came out

I agree with some of his points but others are kinda nitpicky I feel like. But yeah all the Mando and Dave circle jerking that goes on really makes me cringe. I hope one day Star Wars fans will up their standards. |

Obviously I don’t hate Dave but it’s becoming increasingly clear that he needs someone like GL to work with to reach his max potential. I know he’s not a lazy person but every show he makes seems to be worse than the last.

I know he’s not a lazy person but every show he makes seems to be worse than the last. I think Favreau is credited as the writer for each episode but I'm thinking he and Dave probably came up with the story together. I could see much of it coming from Favreau actually he appears to be a lot more "aggressive" than Dave who is more timid. So Dave likely didn't keep shooting down Favreau's ideas and conversely Favreau didn't always listen to Dave's input. Just my guess could be way off Dave is a MASSIVE Star Wars nerd though. There was one moment in the documentary where he references some super obscure thing from TESB that no one else gets. Even I didn't know what he was talking about. It was kind of awkward tbh lol. But I think just knowing the universe isn't good enough. Like it's definitely very important, without knowing the source material you get the sequels. Idk maybe Filoni is the best we can get. I think George's genius was just a once in a lifetime thing. Not a whole lot of stuff out there with that level of intricate world building and compelling themes. It's easy to play in the sandbox George created but I think there's more to the Star Wars magic than the cool ships and military stuff and whatnot that most people aren't able to replicate |

Gonna watch this again start to finish. I've watched each episode like 2-5 times individually when they were coming out week by week but I haven't really seen them consecutively.
So I just finished the third one. First three are honestly pretty fire and really enjoyable. I mean yeah I can nitpick stuff like the stupid tracking fobs and whatnot. But usually when something is overall decent, I can let some things slide. Obviously they are still issues but idk. I do think they kinda did too much JJ Abrams mystery box shit. Mysterious stuff is cool but it should be resolved in a timely manner and for me that's usually within an episode or two. But this season left a lot of loose ends even when it concluded.
But back to how enjoyable it is. Before I was saying they went overboard with the western stuff but now I kinda dig it. Probably because I've been playing a lot of Red Dead lol. But yeah I really want to watch the old Eastwood movies now. Just really like the vibe. And it looks really good too.
I think at this point I had high hopes for the show but then things kinda went downhill... Let's see if I change my opinions this time lol

Perhaps I treated you too harshly... Idk what it was but I actually enjoyed it a lot more this time around. Before I was really disappointed with the fillers but now I think they make sense actually. I think episodes 2, 4, and 5 work to give the story some room to breath. Episode 6 was maybe one too many though. But yeah it's not perfect but it was pretty entertaining and I appreciate the things they were going for. Maybe watching the documentary helped with this.

I guess there's still some bullshit though but fortunately not too much. Mainly just the Force healing I mean come on and also the entirety of episode 6... Shit is just garbage. The premise was decent but not the execution and it was dragged on for way too long. Incidentally it was one of only two episodes not written by Favreau. The other was the Tatooine episode that Dave wrote which, unsurprisingly, was another one of the weaker ones. Though I have to say I somehow enjoyed it a lot more this time around. Maybe it's the western appreciation
I said the tracking fobs were stupid and I think they still kinda are but I think I can kind of let it slide. Seems like the main explanation is anyone who's ever been arrested gets some biometric chip implant or something which is what gets tracked... I guess I can go with that
Also I thought them not knowing about the Jedi was dumb but actually I believe that is not explicitly indicated. They just don't know what the Force is which a lot of people in ANH didn't either. I think even if knowledge of the Jedi was common, knowledge if the Force might not have been.
The contradictory helmet rule and how baby Yoda got to Alvara-7 is still a mystery though... Really hoping both are explained in season 2

One thing I will give Mando is that its projection screens idea to create backgrounds without shooting on location could lead to the next step beyond green/blue screen for blockbusters. Just feels like a major step in filmmaking as you'd never guess it was made on a big soundstage.

Yeah I think that's awesome I feel like it opens up a lot of opportunities to create some complicated locations with limited set building. Perfect for sci fi stuff. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been done before though because to me it seems like a rather simple idea that uses existing technology |

Maybe even evolve it further as we all know the guy is a real Yoda when it comes to the special effects world  |

There was a new trailer during the Cowboys and Bucs game. Looks really good honestly. We saw Coruscant in the sequel era and more of what looks like Order 66. Also all of the Mandalore stuff looks super cool tbh. I think Mando season 3 is gonna be the best live action Star Wars we’ve seen to date in the Disney Era.

New trailer looks really promising. I can't believe it's been over two years since season 2 ended.
We see Dr. Pershing on Coruscant around 1:01. Interested to see how they'll continue his plot with Force-sensitive cloning. Honestly it may even play off of some stuff we see in Bad Batch season 2. The New Republic guy's quote about a dangerous entity is likely a First Order reference. I wonder how much they'll lean into that this season. I'm sure Filoni and the crew is trying to work their redemptive magic on major plot elements from the sequel trilogy.
Then of course there's the Order 66 flashbacks and present-day ruins of Mandalore. Excited for what's in store with both of those.

Apart from Coruscant, I found this trailer to be less exciting than the last one. Man I think I am just too jaded and too salty because I don't really feel any hype for Star Wars anymore. I think Mando is going to lose me soon. The stuff in BOBF like the premature reunion and Luke's portrayal already took me out of it quite a bit. Now babu frik and praetorian guards and I think the First Order is going to quickly become more prominent starting this season. Like no thanks tbh
Honestly considering just becoming an EU fanboy and only reading legends books/comics lol...

New clip. I'm guessing this will be the first episode. I do feel like technically the two BOBF episodes were supposed to be the first two for season 3. Which makes me wonder if season 3 will only be like 6 or 7 episodes or 8 like usual.
But yeah I gotta be honest I've completely written off season 3 already. It's mainly because of the obvious executive mandate to have baby Yoda do cute stuff instead of creating a good and organic story. Even this single clip just reeks of that. I bet there's going to be a lot of marvel level humor in this season.
So between that and the rumors/leaks of sequel tie ins that F&F themselves are actually pushing for because they want to redeem the sequels... I might be done with Mando. First two seasons were good. Even season 3 might actually be awesome but I am certain a lot of it will be triggering for me lmao

Going further on that, and this will probably sound edgy, but yeah I think I more or less completely reject Disney Star Wars lol. And the thing that finally broke me was actually Andor. At first I was pretty indifferent about the show, like it's just there. I think I genuinely liked maybe three or four episodes but in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty inconsequential contribution to the lore. Which is totally fine, good even, because then it can't bother me too much. But the problem was the fan base.
Disney fans will straight up bully you, insult you, and attack your whole character just for having a less than positive opinion on anything. I decided to stop engaging in online Star Wars communities/discussions because it got so bad. So now I've kinda come to despise the Star Wars fandom and don't even want to associate with it... I also loathe Andor because I relate it to everything wrong with Disney Star Wars. It's crazy, I think that show is even making me retroactively like Rogue One less, a movie I initially loved.
But yeah it's been 10 years since Disney bought Star Wars and it feels like they've totally run the brand into the ground. Out of everything they've put out in the last decade, there's literally been only one thing I've thoroughly enjoyed and loved and have no issues with which is Fallen Order. Actually the video games are probably what I've had the most fun with for Star Wars since Disney like both Battlefronts and to a degree Lego Skywalker Saga.
Everything else, none of it feels worthwhile. Their best efforts still have some issues and their worst are infuriatingly bad. I would absolutely trade everything we've gotten after 2012 to just keep things the way they were under George.

I'm not gonna lie, I liked the Bad Batch episode more which is crazy. I'm still so salty about the rushed reunion with Grogu. In fact if he was totally removed from this episode, I think I would've enjoyed it so much more. His role in this one felt unnecessary and he was just there for gags.
There was very good worldbuilding in this episode. Greef and Nevarro are now very reminiscent of Lando and Cloud City. Also I'm sure those pirates will be returning for a filler episode.
But my hype for Mandalorian remains at an all time low. They are really gonna waste time building an IG-11 mech for Grogu... The detonator was in his chest, how is 90% of his torso still intact? And Mando asking them to tear down the statue because he refuses to get another droid is beyond stupid.
But yeah Grogu being there is pissing me off so much lmao. If they simply kept the BOBF episodes as the season 3 premiere, I think it would've been somewhat less annoying. But really they should've just ended the Grogu arc for a little bit. Din doing the Mandalore arc solo would've been so much better. Grogu is dead weight.

Oh and I guess they handled the Cara thing decently well. Still annoyed by that whole ordeal. I liked that character and honestly think the outrage against the actress was way overblown. I think Star Wars reached a peak with the season 2 finale but then firing Gina was the point it started going downhill again.

Pretty decent premiere, lots of world building and setting the stage for what's to come. They packed a lot into the short runtime.
Lots of aliens used here, especially with the pirates. For that reason alone I'd like to see them come back at least once more. Also I really liked the Purrgil nod, that was neat to see in live action. Perhaps it's also a sign that we'll see them again in relation to Ezra/Thrawn returning to the post-ROTJ story.
I enjoyed the episode. It did what it needed to, and I'm expecting next week will dive into the mines. That should be where the story starts picking up much more.

Honestly it wasn’t a bad premiere but nowhere near the spectacle that was the season 2 premiere (still my favorite live action Star Wars episode). I do like how Mandalorian feels the most like the OT/ PT movies IMO, you don’t see a bunch of new made up aliens cause the directors want to leave their mark on the universe. Lots of familiar aliens… Twi’leks, Nikto, Weequay, Gammorean, and Trandoshan were all apart of the pirate gang. I agree with Kenbo that it was definitely some Cloud City and Lando vibes there, similar dialogue as well. Did anyone else get a little confused at the start of the episode? I honestly kind of thought that was a flashback and the long hair kid might have been Din. But I think I got young Din kind of confused for young Cassian Andor tbh since he had really long hair. I guess they are rebuilding their clan which kind of makes sense why they all sucked at fighting so much. Honestly my theory of this season focusing on Bo and her mandos has already fallen apart, but at least it was a good and sensible explanation within in the lore we know. It makes sense. I do wonder if this is really the main plot of the season overall, I can’t imagine it is. I bet he gets to the waters by episode 3 or 4 and then the real plot hopefully comes into the picture. |

I also thought the opening scene was a flashback to Din. Glad it wasn't though, I think it worked better as a moment to show the clan rebuilding. Also I think Favreau recently said that close to two years have passed since the S2 finale. I guess it's apparent by how things have progressed with Karga, Bo, and so on, but I initially thought it was only a few months. I guess this means Grogu had more training under Luke than we realized? Maybe we'll see him use his Force powers more effectively, which I suppose was displayed on a small scale this episode with the candies on Karga's desk. |

I thought the same with Andor especially with the Sister plot basically going nowhere in season 1 at least. Hmm I could see that much time passing. I think BoBF might have taken place over a couple of months itself tbh, just didn’t feel like it because of how many flashbacks we got in the first 4 episodes. I do feel bad for people that didn’t watch Boba Fett… they must be so confused by Grogu and the new Ship. |

I think this season might dive into Grogus past a lot though since we see Coruscant and Jedi temple flashbacks in the trailer. I really kind of hope we get to see the ruins of the temple or something. I was actually really hoping they would have shown us that in Bad Batch when we saw coruscant, at least just a flyover of what it looks like now

We still need to know how he got to Arvala-7 and why the Empire wanted him. Honestly I wish those two threads were tied up last season because then you can do a kind of clean cut at season 2. I think season 3 and beyond is not going to feel like the same show |

I watched the second episode of the new season! So far pretty good but Mando looks so defeated this episode. {Spoiler} gets captured, has to rely on baby yoda, can barely stand after his blood was drawn but yet still wants to search for the waters? Then once he does he get sucked under...bro just took L's this whole episode. Whatever concoction of a creature they created looked so cool, it felt like it fit right into Star Wars. It gave me some serious grievous vibes. I'm sure it will be explained later in a book or something but what was that thing? It looked like a robot, but it had an eye of an organism? Probably something out of whatever sewer Maul crawled out of lmao. Seriously though, so many questions like why did he draw blood, and did he specifically target Mandalorians because there was a lot of helmets in his lair. It had a giant spider mech too, I assume it is some species turned into a cyborg? |

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
