Disney is fully aware of its missteps leading up to this and intends to rectify the Star Wars image. They simply have spent far too much money on the franchise to keep running it the way they have. It will be interesting to see what moves they make post-TROS in terms of who and what makes future SW films. I for one would love to see a Vader heavy stand alone, from either end of III to Rogue One or from end of IV to V Skylath, Kree8ev1, media_junkie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never actually got to see Vader hunt down and kill Jedi as the Darth Vader we all love and know. This was mentioned in the original trilogy but not executed in the Revenge of the Sith except for him offing some little bastards. I loved seeing him tear apart the ship in Rogue One so to get a Vader movie of him in full costume blasting out the force would be right up my alley. Most importantly anyone tall can be Vader under that costume but James Earl Jones IS Darth Vader. He is almost 90 years old please don’t let that talent go further untapped.

Agree wholeheartedly except that even on III James Earl Jones was sounding weak and nowhere near as strong as he used to be. They are going to have to find a decent mimic I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think episode 6 is the best and it's not even a contest in my mind. The jail break episode was just too cool. Bosco685 and Mr Sneeze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I can't decide if this episode is the best or episode 3 where he steals the kid and all of the Mandalorians fly in to save him is the best. I lean slightly towards episode 3 because that shootout is just too cool, but Giancarlo Esposito tips it right back to episode 7...so I just can't decide.

Mr Sneeze Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just binge watched it this evening. Wow, I'm really impressed. Honestly, if they just focus on good writing - as they have here IMHO - they could leave the movies behind and do Game of Throne numbers in a short while. bentbryan, Bosco685, media_junkie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show has its minor issues, and a few weak episodes, but proves a few things. When done right people still love Star Wars. Star Wars can be successful beyond the core story and characters.

MetalPSI Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just watched the first 3 episodes, really not a bad show. Feels modern without trying too hard. I really think this is the way shows are evolving (series style movies) and its not bad. I finished the first season of The Witcher and was really impressed. I can see this series taking off as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 The Mandalorian Episode 8 is really good. I didn't understand all the tie-ins associated with Clone Wars (I think that was some of the symbolism). But overall, a really great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Spoiler The Darksaber is so rich with lore they can build movies around it. I would love to see an origin movie on this. For those looking for a toy, the Darksaber was packaged with Pre Vizsla (voiced by Jon Favreau). He is the Mandalorian who wielded it in The Clone Wars cartoon. It was already a short print figure selling for $50-$85 with the most recent sale after the live action reveal hitting $100. They also made a Darksaber toy called Pre Vizsla sword, this might help while searching on E-bay. Edited December 27, 2019 by Rip Foley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastic_four Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What's that thing? Last episode was enjoyable but not one of the better ones. The TIE fighter crashes but doesn't explode and they don't think to go check it? He's tasked with finding out about the child, and the one guy who knows all about it falls right over there and he doesn't even check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
