The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Yeah, other than just gushing and crying like that disgusting Eric Butts guy, there's not a lot to say about Mando right now.....it was a complete lovefest all weekend though.

And as I said before, for me, it very well COULD be over cause that was one HELL of a finale. Sad, but not tragic. Bittersweet, but satisfying.

Yes, the show will continue, but I know I'll never be emotionally invested in some randos fighting over a sword the way I was about this ruthless killer that was stopped in his tracks and put out his hand to touch a tiny green hand in a moment of wonder....and his life was changed forever.

Oh man. I'm gonna start crying again. Stop.

I'm still excited to see what Favreau does with season 3 and the spinoffs but you are right, the first two seasons of Mando were very well done and can always be viewed as the self contained beautiful story of Mando and Grogu(that also managed to fix Luke Skywalker, wow). If this was the end I would still be satisfied.

Yup yup I have improved big time i'm just waiting now to get my taste and smell back, for my left side to stop being numb and blowing blood clots out of my nose.

When that's the much improved condition it reinforces how nasty this virus really is.

Seeing Luke anytime > any KK agenda hence my acceptance of the ST.

But that wasn't Luke we saw, that was a weak, homeless, tatty milk drinking loser quitter.

Have you tried updating your eye glasses prescription since 2015 because plenty of people saw something else during the 3rd act of TLJ and TROS.

But then again KK is not in my home running my life so I am very capable of separating her agenda from the stuff I quite enjoyed in the ST.

You see it's not an all or nothing scenario for me my brain is more than capable of not throwing Han, Luke and Leia out along with the KK bath water.

I'm happy I stuck with it too because Han, Luke and Leia arcs had tremendously rewarding and satisfying closures in TROS as did Rey and Kylo the main players I might add.

Oh well the 3 never shared screen time together in the ST will you look at that just another flawed SW movie shocker I know!

Funny enough the 3 did share screen time together in ROTJ and lets just say they were at their best when they were alone lol

Sorry I didn't mean to make actual sense could you please forgive me lol

The big three didn't share a scene in the Mando finale so I guess Favreau was just as big a failure as JJ, lol.

Should have had the Falcon show up and then ALL the Deepfake heroes poured out to take on the Dark Troopers. Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Wedge, Lando, Hayden, Mace, Ezra, Maul, video characters, etc. So much for making this one "for the fans."

Holy christ Khev these doomcockers literally want to watch 25 straight movies of Luke being 100% heroic 100% of the time.

Like ZERO character growth thru changes. ZERO!

Just do the same thing over and over and over again.

Zzzz Zzzz

I got 3 consecutive OT movies of straight heroic Luke and now Mando bad ass Luke plus the ST Luke character downfall and redemption i'm good!

You know I think you are 100% correct when you said had we got Mando bad ass Luke FIRST before the ST things might've turned out differently for those doomcockers lol

 

[The Buffinator]

Wow, so Favreau confirmed that Book of Boba will be December 2021, then Mando season 3 will be out after that. He didn't give a date, so I hope it's not later than Spring 2022. Damn that seems so far away right now...

Yep. And this episode really showed me that "badass Luke" is actually the least interesting Luke for me. And we've seen him be a badass before. At the Sarlacc Pit, going off on Vader, choking Gamorrean guards. But none of that compares to any of his scenes in ESB. Or him facing down the Emperor with no lightsaber, or staring at the twin suns or Vader's funeral pyre.

RJ was right all along.

LOLOLOL

Ya know ... it?s not binary. Luke can be handled better than he was in the ST without being a non-stop badass ... oh wait ... the way you guys wanted Boba Fett to be.

Never mind.

I laugh some more.

I guess I need to revisit the pertinent Rebels episode(s), but I was under the impression that when Ezra used the WBW to save Ahsoka from Vader he was jumping to that particular location, but regardless of what doorway he chose everything was happening simultaneously. I thought the "save Kanan" bit was Palpatine playing on Ezra's naivete and using Sith smoke & mirrors to trick him into activating the WBW so he could (a) capture him and (b) gain access/control of the WBW.

If everything was "happening simultaneously" Ezra wouldn't be able to pull Ahsoka out of a fight with Vader that happened in the past. That duel took place in an earlier Rebels season. You realize that, right? Ezra even sees his younger self trying to help Ahsoka. That's not Palpatine using smoke and mirrors because Ezra literally reached *into the past* to pull Ahsoka out, and saved her life.

Ezra also hears voices from the future (including Rey and Finn). That's not Palpatine playing those future events for him. And it's not a simultaneous timeline.

The WBW is very much a time machine. It is a cheap and lazy plot device imo, and one that I think has no place in SW. The amount of hypothetical scenarios that I could point out where a misstep with it could ruin the entire SW universe would be staggering. I loathe that stupid creation.

I sant to see little ajp get his way out of this one lol

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I still feel that Luke isn't terribly well written in TLJ, but to me the whole movie is a mess.
It's not just that I don't really find the logic in who Luke has become in TLJ, it's bad but I could live with it if the movie itself was written better. To me TLJ is just a bad movie, so I can't get into it, and that taints the entire experience for me. The momma jokes, the pointless side-stories, the lack of a cohesive tone, the poorly written characters, the complete reversal of the fundamental message of SW... it's just a terrible SW movie, but on top of it, it's a bad movie.
And it threw the entire ST into disarray, forcing the power that be to try to "fix" things in TROS, which despite its shortcomings I can actually enjoy.

Thanks for the visual aid ... I often have trouble hearing you over the sound of how wrong you are.

Even if it weren't the least interesting Luke, it's a Luke that doesn't jibe with his personal character journey. The moment he throws his saber down in ROTJ is the moment where not only does he become a true Jedi, but where he restores the Jedi to what they were before they were corrupted.

When Vader watches Luke do that, not only is Anakin seeing his son lay down the sword, he's seeing his son become the kind of true Jedi that the whole Order had ceased to be after he joined it in the PT.

Luke is supposed to be above those petty trappings of Palpatine-manipulated Jedi. He's supposed to represent something more evolved. When I read post after post claiming to know the "true Luke" and how he was done "wrong" it's a much appreciated reprieve to get to a post like yours and be able to say, "okay, at least one person gets it." Thank you!

Getting back on target but the deepfake has arrived already

Deepfake looks better.


Ya know what takes me out of the scene more then the CGI.. The cold quick delivery of the lines.

Are you a jedi?

"I am"

"Come Little one"

etc..


Along with the CGI and the voice it kind of felt like Luke was not there... Like they were pulling a "Dead man Don't Wear Plaid" move on us (Anyone remember that one ) and they spliced Luke's lines in from another film...


I dont know it just could have been more natural..


Of course there is nothing natural about a CGI Luke but you know what I mean.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Btw..... I?ll take jar jar a thousand times over rey.

Like Agent Smith, a thousand Jar Jar's suddenly appear in ironwez's house.

Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa - Meesa!!!

Why is the deepfake always better? Because they are going off the already altered face.

Sorry but like most married men i?m addicted to porn and female domination with my muscle joy stick with a Vader cap hence my over sexualized posts at an alarming constant rate lol

Epic post is epic.

Staring down Palpatine was heroic and yes foolish but heroic nonetheless and it ultimately lead to Vader changing.

Cap staring down Thanos was even more bad ass than Luke because Cap was alone believing everyone had perished he had no Vader laying on the ground next to him ready to provide back up at a moments notice.

It was like Cap stared down Palpatine AND THE Sith cultist (Thanos army) all at once.

Which makes Rey even more heroic and bad ass than Luke or Cap!
