Great ending. I'm not crying, you are!
Pretty much this, 100%....albeit that the original Star Wars movie, which I queued halfway down Sidwell Street in Exeter to see as a 13 year old, was a cinematic rite of passage. I‘ve never come out of a cinema more blown away by a movie from that day to this.I’ve always found sci-fi stuff (as well as the superhero stuff) very naff. Comic book geeks might love it all but I never have.
I thought I’d give Star Wars ago during lockdown and I watched them all in story-chronological order. I only liked Rogue One and Episode VII. Found the old ones very dated and the last two were just the same as all those modern superhero films - too much CGI, no storyline, and pretty much total dross.
But The Mandalorian is cool as fuck, I love it!
it’ll be interesting to see where they take it after that finish to season 2 yesterday! Great stuff
The original movies are far and away the best part of the saga but I have enjoyed the other movies and the originals gave me such a deep seated love of Star Wars; not that, despite my online alias, I'm not one of those walking encyclopaedias on the subject. I did once upon a time know a lot about how they made the original trilogy.Pretty much this, 100%....albeit that the original Star Wars movie, which I queued halfway down Sidwell Street in Exeter to see as a 13 year old, was a cinematic rite of passage.

All of the new films have been fucking awful IMO. Terrible scripts, bereft of plot, way too much CGI, basically just naff, sub-par rip-offs of the original.
The Mandalorian has come as a superb surprise. Can’t wait for season 3, which is scheduled for release in Dec 2021....although it’ll be interesting to see where they take it after that finish to season 2 yesterday! Great stuff
