Just checking in as a fan of the original trilogy, and someone who hates pretty much everything else they've done. This series is great, IMO. I actually give a shit about the characters and I'm genuinely curious as to where this goes. You guys are WAY more into the lore than I am (and that's fine) but for a fan who just loves the originals and is hoping for a fun, character driven narrative, I'm pretty happy with everything so far. I hope it doesn't jump the shark with too many call backs, and so far it's been just enough. I don't feel like spoilering a bunch of comments, so I'll leave it there. Suffice it to say, I'm pleasantly surprised at how great this thing is and I'm looking forward to more. I'm absolutely shocked at that.

I have always been a fan of westerns and old western TV series. The Mandalorian to me is basically Have Gun Will Travel or Tales of the Wells Fargo. Different shows each week with new things and characters. Maybe it has no connection to past movies cartoons or books just adventures of this Mandalorian.

I've liked it so far.
I had a major geek moment when the X-Wings pulled up. The sound.....oh god. When they switched to attack mode, YES! Mando is so badass. He is respected by everyone, even sand people. So cool. This series is similar to general science fiction in that they have a bunch of "stand alone" episodes. Farscape, Star Trek, BSG, etc. come to mind. You shouldn't have every episode directly pushing the main story along or it will become a one rail series. |

This felt like a step back from the season premier, but I'm not dismayed with it. Yet. |

Cant really disagree with anything said from any side.
I’ll reserve judgement until I see where it all ends up. I share most of Danes concerns, but I think there is an argument to be made that it can’t all be balls to walls. Big moments hit harder if they’re not stacked up.

But like I said, they earned the rope to hang themselves. |

Jon Favreau is a good to great storyteller and since he wrote every screenplay for Season 2, I'd imagine we'll view these episodes differently after 16, 24 and/or 32 episodes have aired. Friday night's episode was certainly fun and scary enough but I think that most of us would like to see a continuation of where they left off in Season 1, which I assume he'll get to by no later than Episode 5 this season. |
