And Boba Fett was a massively wasted property with that series... Browns81 and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 The Mandalorian to Air on ABC, Freeform, and FX Quote Star Wars' The Mandalorian was one of the flagship TV series that helped launch the streaming service Disney+, but for those fans who have opted not to sign up for the platform in the years since its debut, you'll be able to check out the first episode later this month on linear networks. ABC, Freeform, and FX will all be airing the debut episode of the series, "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian," the week leading up to the Season 3 premiere of The Mandalorian on Disney+. The series premiere of The Mandalorian will air on these networks on February 24th at 8 p.m. ET. The episode is described, "In the lawless aftermath of the collapse of the Galactic Empire, an armored bounty hunter known only as the Mandalorian takes on a well-paying yet cryptic assignment." The upcoming Season 3 of the series is described, "The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together." The series stars Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow, and Giancarlo Esposito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go. Granted Disney selling to these companies are essentially moving money from one pocket to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are like 3 episodes that focus on Mando and Grogu. You really only need to watch those. Maybe the last 10 minutes of the finale as well. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if we get a little bit of backstory to the pirates we saw during that short-lived series. It’s worth revisiting if anyone gave up on it. It does get better as the series progresses. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pirates completely take me out of the show, they are too cartoon like for live action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtracy64 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I didn't make it halfway through the first episode of Resistance, and I've since decided that the entire First Order era is dead to me . . . no comics, no novels, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, and I was the same way, but I was bored and decided to give it another go. It takes 3/4 of the first season to get to the point, but it honestly gets good. Season two is completely different except for the characters. Setting, plot, motivation, all different and compelling. It was getting real close to doing TFA a lot of justice. I don’t blame anyone for passing on it, but it gets quite good. It’s not rebels, but it’s better than anything that graced the big screen as it relates to the sequels.

It’s not rebels, but it’s better than anything that graced the big screen as it relates to the sequels. I did read a few of the early novels from the sequel era but really only enjoyed Bloodline. The last two films killed any interest I had in the characters and overall storyline - if I cared about those things, I would give Resistance another shot. I took to all the Clone Wars shows very quickly and had enjoyed the comics and novels from that era also. I took me some time to warm up to Rebels, but I stuck with it, and it did become really good after a while. At their best, Clone Wars and Rebels are the best Star Wars material there is in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m right there with you. I always go back to clone wars. I’d add Andor Season 1 to that list now as well. mtracy64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
