Everything Star Wars

Really enjoyed this.

The new Star Wars stuff is proof that no matter what you do with things set in this "universe", people will find something wrong with it.

For me, this, Rogue One, Solo, and Episode 7 have been decent enough.

However Episode 8 was atrocious which then made 9 a shit attempt at a rescue job.

"Rogue One" had been re-shot to lessen the mood of the original synopsis.

What we got was a passable version of what could have been an amazing 'Star Wars' entry. The execs panicked, so changed it. You can tell, if anyone ever paid attention, that the original trailers contained stuff never seen in the film. Disney went in a different direction and so hired Tony Gilmour to do the re-shooting.

Even then, that film is 10x what 'The Mandalorian' is and they are almost polar opposites in delivery.

I think the weakness may lie in the fight sequences. At no point do I believe 'Mando' is a 'great warrior'. He just doesn't display the skillset, but he has nifty weapons that give him the edge.

At no point does 'Mando' ever display a mastery of his hand held weapons, when you'd expect him to do so.

And that, is what I was saying before, about the 'Ashoka' entry.

At no point does anyone display mastery of hand held weapons apart from the two sharp shooters. Therein lies the fun. Do you think the wild west gunslingers hit every time? The fight sequences are supposed to be fun. A pastiche of Leone and his ilk. There lies the interest. He is vulnerable. His armour saves him on numerous occasions. If someone shot him in the arm or he'd lose. But they don't. He has surrounded himself with a band who compliment his style. They all have a common interest. The kid.

Switch of the part of your brain that has to dissect every single programme you ever watch and just sit back and enjoy. There's fun to be had.

Fun.
 
I got to s01e05.

I couldn't move past the fact that Mandalorians never removed their helmet. I envisaged him, at the big reveal, having a super-crusty head with a 15' long whispy beard...

My son has done both series, and the feedback is very good, similar to the bulk of this thread. So, I'll give it another go starting later tonight...

"Fun" was watching 'Darth Maul' take fight scenes to another level.

"Fun" was watching an amazing fight sequence with an angry 'Anakin' wanting to slice 'Ben Kenobi' in half.

My idea of 'fun' and potential.
