    @MN5 I watched 1 and a half, or two and a half of the first series and gave up 'cos it was dull. Is this the 2nd or 3rd series? Either way, can I pick up without returning to the first one?

    @MN5 said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

    This new season of Mando is the best yet so far.

    Certainly the production values have gone through the roof in S3. The night scenes on Coruscant looked amazing in 4K.

    I'll add that the episode lengths are all over the place in this season.

    @Bovidae IIRC episode lengths have always been all over the place...some eps in the 30 mins some in the 40s and even the odd one stretched to over 50, although the end credits always takes several minutes too

    Great to see some excellent lightsaber action. The nerds will be going apeshit working out who that flashback Jedi was.

    What was the story with the General Grievous type dude who lived in Mandalore ?

    Any ideas what his deal was ?

    im not sure enough has changed that you'd go from finding the first season dull to enjoying it...but i think you probably do need the back story

    dull? i thought the first couple of episodes were pretty action packed

    He played @MN5's favourite character from the prequels.

    I don’t even know who my favourite character from the prequels is so it’s most impressive that you do

    Maybe I should have included an irony emoji.

    all right....who actually wants to see grogu grow up...i admit i would love to see an adult grogu by the time the mandalorian ends, with him taking up mandos mantle and just using the force on the side rather than becoming a jedi...could be very cringey....could be awesome

    I'm slightly worried we wont get conclusion on what happens to him, where was he during the sequels etc

    do we think they have a long term view to wrap up his story or do we think theyre just going to stretch it out as long as they can for the bucks

    Surely a mandalorian with force powers would be about the most invincible SW character in history ?

    @MN5 untrained (effectively) might even things? i think mace v jango kind of proved it was never an even fight, and if he leans much more to the mando side of things with just some force push/pull it cold be cool

    Jango had just been trampled by that beast and his jet pack malfunctioned. If it hadn’t he would have lasted much longer.

    Definitely not emerged victorious, but would have made a much bigger fight of it.

    There are a few force users who aren’t Jedi. The blind guy from Rogue One being an obvious example.

    @MN5 was he actually a force user? i thought he just kind of wanted to...and treated the force a bit like a religion

    just clicked Donnie Yen has played two blind characters now after his role in john wick 4....kind of niche

    You can’t fight that well when you’re blind without a degree of force sensitivity.

    Good God Man, come on. Think 😉

    so, star wars probably has as much resource material as either the Marvel or DC back catalogs. like all the stuff pre disney that was "Extended Universe" (Canon) and was re branded and "Legends" (non canon) after disney....but Disney still owns all that material

    Why do we think marvel can very successfully release 2-4 movies a year for 15 years (and the next few years planned out)....and yet Star Wars has managed one trilogy that was flawed...a couple of stand alone films and some hit and miss TV

    why do we think we havent seen even a movie a year? there are thousands of years of "history" they could use but why do we think they didn't re cast luke and show us what he did after Episode VI
