The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[JAWS]

With regards to Luke in TLJ.. While I love Hamill in the role and what they tried to do with him... They still could have tried to give him a more Mando outing at the end instead of what we got...

I understand why peeps were upset. They get no Luke in TFA and then its just a subvert your expectations fest in TLJ.

I have no issue with how he was handled or why he was the way he was... but there should have been payoff.. And what we got was not enough IMO.. And killing him off should have been saved for the 3rd film if it needed to happen at all.

I do like how TFA is Han's film, TLJ is Lukes and too a lesser extent TROS is Leia and would have been more hers if not for her death. I did not really need to see them all on screen together.. I was worried about the fact the original cast was going to be in it at all.. I the time I personally would have kept them more as cameos then have actually major plots surrounding them... Mostly because I didnt want to see old fat luke and Leia doing any action and Old han refusing to act.

What we ended up getting out Ford and Hamill was better then what I expected.. Fisher was about what I thought she would be...

Anyways I am rambling.

basically

I like Luke in TLJ

But I get why people have issues and a better payoff would have been nice. Just not a fan of the hologram twist.

Maybe after the first order breach the rebels hideout Luke is there waiting for them and we get a RO / Mando type bad ass scene.. He leaves with the Rebels and then passes away.. IDK.. I dont write movies

Oh oh doomcockers I hope you are sitting.

Boyega announced he is in talks with Disney with making things right and that he respects Disney for trying.

That screams Disney + Finn prequel or Jedi in training Finn to me!

True that Daisy said that while she loves Rey and the ST she wants to try new things but when new things are shut down because of covid and Disney backs up a truck full of money then revisiting Rey just might be new again lol

if you're going to jump out a window may I suggest fifth floor and up lol

Why is everyone on Ducky when Jye is literally just as bad. O MUH ST wILL FINally BE acccepted cause BOyega is talking to people. It could be anything lol.

I would find it hilarious if they do retcon the ST with Finn as the main character. Jye and maybe Khev's other personality will propably burn all tthere star wars dolls and box sets and video it and put it on youtube.

MY DREAMS ARE DEAD. Would be the title.

 

[jye4ever]

Well i'm never on Ducky.

Ducky can be Ducky all Ducky wants lol

Quitting Star Wars wouldn't be difficult especially now after Mando season 2, I won't need to off myself. You are right though, future content has a very high likelihood to suck. Anything Favreau isn't involved with will probably be terrible.

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 find your lack of faith disturbing.

OK, it's coming back to me now. I'd forgotten their fight with Vader was the Sith holocron episode when Maul showed up for the first time. So in the WBW episode Ezra saved Ahsoka, but IIRC she talked him out of saving Kanan, right? Then Palpatine later tempted him with rejoining his parents, but that was the smoke & mirrors stuff - not WBW at all.

He too will one day go the way Lucas did.... the wrong way.

Enjoy what you have right now.

I love how Luke says, "He IS strong with the force. But talent without training is nothing."
Wasn't that established in the OT? It's like Favreau/Filoni are making it clear that the things Rey did in TFA and TLJ was absurd.

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!

The nice thing about the Mando scene is that Luke is just taking down droids. Any such onslaught against living opponents would have wrecked the "enlightened Jedi" Luke who refused to finish off his father or attack the Emperor at the end of ROTJ. Luke slicing and dicing living people or using the Force to make Star Destroyers crash into one another would have been a discredit to his character and inferior to his portrayal in the ST.

But as a little one and done little bone to throw to the fans screaming about needing a badass Luke his appearance in Mando does check that box nicely without undercutting who he was at the end of ROTJ or the ST. So kudos to Favreau on pulling that off.

Luke himself mocked Rey in TLJ though. His line in Mando isn't the massive "F U" that some fans are making it out to be, 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!

Um jye Cap did stare down both Thanos and Thanos' army though before the portals started opening behind him.

Or did I somehow miss your point, lol.

Agreed...although killing living beings isn't necessarily beyond him right? This is the guy who personally blew up the Death Star afterall. In light of that my only issue with him doing something like using the force to make Star Destroyers crash into eachother would be to wonder why the hell Obi-wan and Yoda couldn't pull off feats like that....or if they could...why again do they take themselves out of the fight against the Empire?

Well, we're talking about a space station that destroyed Alderaan (murdering probably a couple of billion people in the process) and was about to destroy the Yavin 4 moon where the Rebel base was located. So relatively speaking not quite as many voices suddenly crying out in terror before they were suddenly silenced. Besides, he wasn't a Jedi yet, so no Jedi code was violated.

So ****ing bummed we have to wait 2 years for Mando's return.

Even if he does go off the rails before he calls it quits Favreau will still rank among the best of the best, on the same tier as Spielberg, Lucas, etc. The dude made Iron Man, The Mandalorian, and Elf(mic drop). Over the last 15-20 years it doesn't get much more classic and timeless than that. The wild success of his projects along with his versatility are quite impressive.
