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

Great mindsIs it on Amazon or Netflix, or do I have to subscribe to Disney plus?

Nah,youre on your own there pal.Well, there's been about 4 good solid episodes throughout the whole series. To think that the ending sequence has been bettered in previous films says a lot about the stunt scenes not really being worked upon.
As for the 'surprise' why the fuck not use Sebastian Stann??
Disney have painted themselves into a corner here unless they re-edit the final scenes later on.
Poor overall.
Maybe.Nah,youre on your own there pal.
I honestly don't believe 99% of peope who watch it examine the episodes in such fine detail.I just enjoy the action put in front of me,i dont take it that seriously,and what ive seen in these 2 series has been well up my street where escapism and enjoyment is concerned.Maybe.
But you look back on the whole event and it's nothing but meandering and navel gazing except for a few eps. The 'Ashoka' episode summed up the whole series, where it could have been so much more, but it's the sum of its parts as the whole thing is shot over 4 months tops and then has to go into post-production.
That leaves not enough time to make great scenes, just mediocre.
I'm a fan of the 'Star Wars' potential and it's nowhere near it.
