Did he die already?

Just looked him up...he's still alive. But he really seemed to disappear off the face of the planet a while ago. Wonder what happened...

Sexual harassment accusations.

Only one bad episode in the first 2 seasons.

Remind me, which was the bad one??

Wow, amazing video, thanks for posting.

The 4th episode of season one where he meets Cara Dune. It’s just so cheap looking. Takes me out of the show cause it looks like the Ewok movie on ABC.

Was that the one where they had to take out the AT-ST the raiders were terrorizing the village with?

Those killable alien raider guys were basically from the Ewok movies right?

Ah ok yes that one is pretty awful. Bryce Dallas Howard’s first directing ep. She got a lot better. I do love the red eyes of the AT-ST though.

Also my least favorite. I was not nearly as smitten with Cara as others were, and the whole thing had a vibe that reminded me of lesser episodes of "Firefly". Some good moments, though.

I liked the single mom in that episode. She's hot. I think she was naked in Westworld.

I liked the concept of the Cara Dune character, and Carano's athleticism but she's not a particularly good actor and Howard's directing was pretty weak -- in that episode anyway.

That episode, IMHO, had a lot of homage to Lone Wolf And Cub. I really liked the early Mando episodes. He was wandering around, getting into adventures, meeting people, while Grogu was in perpetual mischief, much like Cub did.

One issue for Cara Dune was Carano was clearly out of shape. If your bread and butter zone is to be a physical actor and really engage in the fight scenes, then you have to commit to that.

Show absolutely positively hit a wall when it tried to keep churning out storylines to support back door pilots and spin offs and kept trying to engage into a larger overall "universe" The show was great as it was in the beginning, small scale, sort of detached from the main canon. Same thing happened to Glee. It was a fun show, the first half season, with a lot of humor and heart, but small stakes with more realistic people. Then it became an "event" and had to drag in all this other bloat that killed off what made the show a fan favorite in the first place.

Viewers are just smart enough to understand when a brand is grinding down to trying to squeeze every nickel into pure paste. It's exhausting to watch interesting things get whored out into just more energy drinks and "content"

I loved those early Mando episodes, too. Just an adventure of the week, like Dukes of Hazzard and The Fall Guy and Knight Rider. Loved those as a kid.

IDK if it’s because I just watched Mando season 1&2 or what but my son and I are watching the movies and OMG are these Prequel movies bad.

TPM still has good moments but Jar Jar’s annoying level has gone up several notches due to the poorly aged VFX

AOTC - This is easily the worst made film of the series. Hayden’s performance actually makes a little more sense if you interpret it the following way. He’s an incell. And my son pointed out how he talks like those cringe tik tok vids of incells professing threat love.

That’s all fine accept WTF does Padme see in him. My only guess is she is a gal who will **** anything and the kids she has might belong to Obi Wan’s, Mace Windu’s, or yoda’s

ROTS tomorrow night. Sigh.

It was that japor snippet, dawg. After Ani gave her that, she was putty in his hand.

She was hot that is true.

Shame the episode was naff.

Speaking of Dkrs of Hazard

I know it’s fashionable to trash on Star Wars nowadays, but remember one thing if you really want to know how crazy unique SW was in 1977 just watch Stsr Crash from 1978 to see just how far advanced Star Wars was when created.

 

[JAWS]

Finally got around to watching ROTS again. Warning: A lot of repeat thoughts here

It gave me some false hope as I enjoyed the first hour more than I ever had.. But then Palps starts using a saber, becomes stupid looking, and Anakins turn just does not work. Same complaints as always but it hurts the film.

It’s leaps and bounds better than AOTC

For me it’s about as good as TPM. There is no Jar Jar and the pace is better. I am the least familiar with this one so that helps.

Ewan is great as Obi wan in this and I appreciated Hayden more until his “Liar” performance at the end. Together they keep the movie from being a total loss.

This film would be greatly improved if

Every scene of the Emperor with a Saber was cut out.

Anakin’s turn was more natural and he did not go right to killing children. So dumb. The fact he gets rewarded at the end of Jedi by being one with the force… Just awful.

And if the final Duel between Anakin and Obi was Duel of the Fates great.

Those three things would make it my 3rd fav SW film in the original 6.

Off to RO then the OT

I may give the ST its final shot after that. Curious how I will feel about TROS this time. Probably will be the last time I watch TFA and TLJ.

 

[Khev]

Honestly since you did the whole PT I recommend Solo before skipping to RO. It's a nice segue set 10 years after ROTS which serves as a palette cleanser before jumping right into the OT era.
