That was probably as good as I could have hoped for. Just so great.

That was beautiful and perfect way to wrap up the Mando+Grogu arc.

Can they just cancel the last 3 movies?
Just make a press release and say "Nah, we didn't mean it." Put the Mandalorian crew on the job. |
The only thing that was missing from that episode was this guy.

The end sequence including post credits scene was like listening to Hulk Hogan's intro when you were 5 -8 years old |
Oh yeah. Yeah forgot to ask.

Favreau and Filoni have done a remarkable job with The Mandalorian and fortunately, they're producing at least one more series together in Rangers of the Republic. Andor, the Rogue One prequel is obviously in good hands with Tony Gilroy, while the other series appear to be in good hands as well (Deborah Chow and Leslye Headland). Instead of rushing to announce Episode VII and Rogue One, she should have taken some time to put together a really solid plan, which they seem to have in place now, but at the expense of 7-9.

Well, shit. That was ****ing awesome.

I’m glad they have it figured out. But the expense on 7-9 is a real travesty. They could have taken that so many directions. Positive directions. But NOPE. I’ve stood up for TLJ. I got what RJ was trying to get across. But from The perspective of THIS being possible, it looks bad. Maybe I can say it hasn’t aged well. IDK. |

I've texted with or spoken to more than a dozen men today, age 43-57, and every last one shed a tear.
I don't know if there's ever been this kind of male-bonding moment due to a Television/Cinematic experience, at least in my lifetime. Kevin Smith even posted his red, teary eyes on Twitter. |

Michael Arndt, who wrote Toy Story 3 and other acclaimed films, had it right because his script featured Luke, Leia and Han, only to have "Kira" appear in Act 3. That's what we wanted to see. Not crappy imitations in the forms of Poe, Finn and Rey. Alas, what could have been... |
Beautiful

I just want to say....I would Gina Carano. The whole thing.

Oh and whoever did the music during the Dark Troopers scene? ****ing epic.

I recently did a "Spotlight" interview and one of the questions was "Who are your favorite composers?". While I listed John Williams and others, I also mentioned that Ludwig is my favorite composer working today because he's breaking new ground with a Synthesizer/Sound Design/Orchestral Hybrid type of scoring that IMO, is absolutely amazing and astonishingly refreshing. The dude is literally a genius composer. |

What an amazing episode.
One critique I have that I can’t even take credit for. At the ending when mando asks Luke if he’s a Jedi, my oldest son was like he should have said, I am a Jedi, like my father before me. That really would have made that scene so much more connected. |

That was FANTASTIC. I was super excited to see

I really think a lot of that is the costume. She’s definitely shaped different than a decade ago, but she’s 38. And as a dude that’s a year and a day younger than her and used to push my body pretty hard, I get it. EDIT: I get it and I’m down. But she’d probably beat my ass when we were done because I’m such a pussy. |

If the story is good, I’m focused on the actors and story, then the next watch I’ll pick up more subtle aspects and VFX, then by the fourth or fifth pass, I’ll listen to the music to see how it fits with all of the other aspects. The old saying is that “The best score is the score that goes unnoticed”, which I find holds true most of the time. |

I’d have to watch and listen but I think it clashed with Luke’s theme a little too much. |
Great season end. Loved it all. Wonder how boba will take over a mafia.

Along with Ming-Na Wen, who is ridiculously good looking, then you remember that she is also 58 years old and https://external-content.duckduckgo....gif&f=1&nofb=1 |

Ming Na-Wen is the best example case for why you want an Asian wife that I’ve seen yet.

So, fellow Star Wars EU "Legends" nerds...
What "legends" EU characters do we hope get introduced? Let's list some notable ones: Mara Jade - As a Zahn creation, she starts from a strong place. Her later story arcs and partnership with Luke obviously would need to be changed, but the core character is interesting and, if cast well, could be really dynamic and fun (you just have to take her end story in a different direction). Gilad Pellaeon - Sticking with the Thrawn theme, he was someone that really made the Empire more interesting and deep for me in the EU. Also noticeably BA in his own right after years of work and training with Thrawn. Quinlan Vos - One of the cooler End-of-the-Republic Jedi, he's technically in-canon already. He's complex and nuanced and would fit well in something set between the rise of the Empire and the original trilogy, and his psychometry ability could offer the opportunity for some really interesting narratives. Corran Horn - You could have a lot of fun with a Force-using fighter pilot and fit him into a LOT of stories. |

That’s amazing. She moves pretty well too. |

Sooooo, what makes the dark troopers different than battle droids?

I have to say that the regular stormtroopers are hilariously bad fighters bordering on inept.

I guess the dark saber isn't impressive as a weapon itself, it's important due to symbolism.
I was expecting it to be like a light saber. |

Rewatched the annihilation scene scene 3 times. Probably watch it a few more times this weekend.

Kinda surprised they went all in with the Reunion Tour to the point of Luke showing up. But damn, that was sure satisfying to watch...

Very powerful stuff. All the little guys in the galaxy fighting, and all that it takes is one Jedi/Sith Lord to wipe them out. Mando is a badass, and it took everything he had to kill one Dark Trooper. Luke dispatched them with minimal effort. |

It is literally a lightsaber unless they’re changing the backstory. There was a Mandalorian Jedi (Viszla) who made jt and then passed it down through his family. He left the Jedi at some point to rule Mandalore. |
