The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Khev]

BEST battle finale since RO!

Love the cutting back and forth. Multiple action scenes going on simultaneously.

Can't wait to watch again.

Same!

See I think they've already achieved that with Gideon. His tactics and abilities were totally sound, he'd won! It was just a fluke Star Destroyer falling out of the sky that he never could have anticipated that did him in.

The guy only shows up Chapter 7 to get bested in Chapter 8. Repeat that for 3 seasons in a row and I’m ok never seeing him again.

Just focus on Thrawn for now and then they can fully segue into the ST crap for all I care so I can completely bail from this franchise instead of having one foot in

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just watched it again. So awesome. So full of awesomeness.

I wish I could have a bluray copy!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Makes me want to get the HT Koska and Axe and Bo-Katan.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Thrawn this year.

You just know if that resurrection goes well, they will bring Xizor into live-action by 2025.

I'd watch Xizor.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd watch Xizor.

You cannot resist Xizor.

I see the usual YouTube crowd are declaring the final as terrible, Chris Gore stating it’s for 6 year olds! It’s gotten to the point now it’s really obvious that they’ve milking their audiences for hate clicks. How long can this go on?

 

[Ramatuelle]

You cannot resist Xizor.

The trick to resisting him is staying far away.

I doubt theyd bring in the EU Xizor, way too sexually charged for these times. (Said times combining Victorian prudery and wild sexual excesses in a way that those watching aliens must really puzzle over). But he was an effective Black Sun high up and very ruthless. Theres something very Ming the Merciless about him too.

Would watch.

Alas I was underwhelmed even by these better episodes. Fatigue may be setting in, as it has with Marvel and DC. BOBF, Obi-Wan, Mando S3....I didn't even like Andor.

 

[Otomofan]

Yeah, Xizor would be considered..."problematic"(™) in current day.

He's a green reptile man (well, red when he's horny) but he's also vaguely Asian, so that would NOT fly in today's climate. Like you said, he gives off too strong a Ming the Merciless vibe and they don't like that. The horniness and the *** pheromones and wanting to bang women of all kinds of species....AND "cultural appropriation" in there too? Yeah, the outrage mob would have a field day with that.

Somehow back in the 90s I ended up with both versions of the action figure, even though I didn't really want him in my collection. One of them came with what looked like Asian burlesque dancer's fans, like he was gonna put on a weird strip tease. What the hell kind of weapons are those??

Goes to show you the grip SW has on my soul.

The byproduct of being there 77/80/83 in theaters then the great vacuum afterwards.

My brain is instantly able to erase Lizzo, Tico, Big Nose, Purple Hair, Canto, Dex, Gungans, Taxes, NOO, Oompah, Grevious, Rabbit, Pershing and Little Annie and act as if everything is 77/80/83 all over again and then look at complainers and be like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Then be like are you bashing my soul?

No other IP gets that same level of treatment (ignore then defend) from me bash away i’m first in line to do so.

 

[Khev]

Lol at taxes, oompah, and rabbit.

For whatever reason I can't seem to feel the same. I wasn't alive for the original theatrical runs of Star Wars and Empire and I was a toddler for Jedi but I do remember (and became a fan during) that great vacuum. Now I yearn for that vacuum. For me that was the magical time for Star Wars. Imma go dig my Galoob Micro-machines and musclebound POTF2 figures out of the attic

I picture you yearning to go back to the simpler great vacuum era but being blocked by a great corporate content barrier.

If only Otomofan could provide a helping hand…

This sums it up for me:

1977 ObiWan mutters the words “The Clone Wars”…

Me:

Cut to 2002 AOTC, 25 years after 77, finally “THE CLONE WARS” How was it!

Cut to Mando S3 episode 8, 21 years later after AOTC and 46 years after ObiWan said those magical words…”The Clone Wars”

How was it for jye, Khev, Wor-Gar and Sassafras?

You should have used this gif for 2002 AOTC...

This is literally me right now until my wife glanced over..

Weapons of seduction...clearly

Brilliant

There's another Bear on the other side of that wall - who else has Otomofan helped? (it looked like he was considering climbing back over, whoever it is)
