      My conclusion about the Mandalorian: <ssnip> and has next to zero story or progression.
      

      WTF? You want a TV series to be done in 1 episode? What would be the point of a series?

      Get over the binge watching attitude of needing to see 10 hours of story at once.

      That or wait until the season is over and then watch the fucking thing.

      It may well turn out to be shit. But that is not what it looks like so far.

      I'm probably in the minority. But so far the pacing of The Mandelorian has been pretty decent. It throws a ton of lore in there without going overboard, and gives you plenty of time during the show to digest what's going on.

      It also, bizarrely, doesn't play the audience for stupid. Which is a nice change of pace.

      And most of the actual lore is about the Mandalorians and the Bounty Hunters Guild so far.

      Tidbits about the resistance in Episode 4 with Cara.
      Obvious bits about the down and out Empire remnants driving the whole plot with the entire "The Child" thing seeming to be the over arching storyline.

      And that is my primary complaint. They are at 5/8 for Season 1 and all we have are tidbits and bits and pieces.

      8? that's all - man, yeah, in three remaining episodes, they really need to turn a page, else this will get dull real fast! and I wonder how long until the next season comes out? I know they are filming season 2 already.. hopefully we don't have to wait a year!

        They had Timothy Zahn's best selling trilogy in hand and had to build a ramp, drive a JLG up and add a ladder to see past it. Sometimes....

        This was the most frustrating thing about TFA.

        https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/lucasfilm-president-kathleen-kennedy-interview-rise-skywalker-future-star-wars-912393/

        "Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be."

        im just gonna hop in here for a second :

        There are Comic Books, and Novels for starwars. I own 4 different star wars book right now. and have read over 50 comics...

        That's all i gotta say about it : carry on.

        I specifically called that out. Those mediums have barely ever been more than core fans really. I have probably 50+ EU books But I know i'm an exception to the norm. Most people only watch movies and TV.

        Comics is likely the least taken in form of star wars - I'd say
        Movies
        TV shows (mainly cartoons)
        video games
        TV comercials
        Toys
        Books



        comics

        😛

                The 501st has been called in to do several things like this in the past.

                it's also a big reason why Disney had the 501st march in their Star Wars Weekend parades for about 10 years for their Star Wars Weekends events... our costumes were actually better than most of the Disney ones for the same characters. Of course this was hugely beneficial to Dinsey at way below normal costs for something like this.

                Each person who marched received 1-2 tickets (it started as two park hopper, then went to one park hopper, then down to a single ticket single park - cheap ass bastards). for this, the marchers had to arrive by 7 AM, wait around outside in the boiling sun - often with zero shade until 11:30 AM, then get suited up and stand around, again in the direct sun from 11:30 - 12:30 when the parade would start. So in the early days, people were getting around $200 worth of tickets for 5.5 hours of onsite time, not horrible pay for only 20 mins of actual work. But in the end, a single ticket worth around $100 cut that down a lot!

                    As I mentioned in the other thread. fuck yeah. I love how they are making this an actual continuation with what happened before being a once off thing.

                      Great! Looking forward to that. The 2016 movie had some great people in it and a good director but for some reason it turned out to be rather mediocre. Not horrible but not something worth watching again. Hopefully this one will be better.

                        I liked the 2016 movie. But I like a continuation of the original story even more. There was barely a connection between 1 and 2 IMO. Just some passing references. This, seemingly, makes it all a cohesive story.

                          I don't know what movie you guys watched back in 2016, but if you're talking the girl version of GB, that thing was crap! Super dumb gadgets (though this likely came because of the cartoon - from 20 years earlier) it was just horrible from the get go - more like a saturday night live skit than an actual movie. Only saw it cause it was on broadcast TV and the wife was like - I want to see this.. ug fine.

                          I'm not against an all female crew of GBs, I just wanted it much less dumb - but I fully expected nothing less once I saw that Melissa McCarthy was in it. Her humor is something I just can't stand.
