The world of Star Wars is simply not fleshed out enough in the right places to be Prestige TV. I’m not even sure if the Star Wars universe has actors in it...

I’m not suggesting that it has the makings of prestige television, just that it would need to adopt some of the trappings of it. In The Mandalorian, the titular character cuts a motherfucker in half in order to get to his payday within the first couple of minutes. In the previous episode of this very show, he readily…

If the Lucasfilm intention is to say yes, the Jedi were a cult that perpetuated an awful system, then okay I guess. But then Grogu giving up on joining that cult to go back to Mando isn’t really a hard choice at all, removing a lot of of the stakes for what we’re led to believe is a momentous decision.

It would also…

Okay, two things:

1) Was the deputy played by James Roday?

2) If so, did anyone spot a pineapple?

Okay, that’s a lie. Three things:
3) If the Pykes are muscling in on Mos Espa, I wouldn’t trust that the Pykes haven’t bribed some of the local toughs ahead of time

This episode and last week’s outing seem to be sending the clear message that the people behind this show wish they were making Mandolorian season 3 instead of this.

I have a feeling that Cad Bane killed Boba’s Tusken Tribe, not the Speeder gang! How did Bane know that Cobb had Fett’s Armor? He has apparently been on Tatooine for a while.

Has anyone asked if Max Rebo survived the explosion? This dude has bad luck with being at a place at the wrong time. lol

Is it just me or did Olyphant look a little too skinny here?  Like he was sick or something.

But it’s the one show where it would have been okay to have characters in masks!! 

The Mandalorian was already a show about Boba Fett in all but name. This show never had a single good reason to exist. 

Anything they could do with Boba Fett they already did with Mando.  

It’s almost like you can pinpoint the moment the writers realized there’s no there there with Boba Fett as a character and decided it was easier to bring in established characters to fill it out. 

I get more and more confused by this series each week. I would’ve been very interested to have heard the early pitches and the articulation of how this would relate to The Mandalorian because the episodic narrative structure is perplexing to me. It’s definitely fading in its appeal over time but that was to be…

I thought it was because this is yet another COVID show. They’ve almost all been weirdly paced and setted.

It’s like they got bored with their own series and decided to switch to a new show mid-season.

It is weird for a show to be this slow and still absolutely batshit insane. Also it was stunning to realize that next week is the last episode after they did four episodes of Boba learning the basics of being a crime boss, kind of, before not having him speak two episodes and only appear in one scene. This is a parody…

Now Grogu just needs a vibroknife that glows when Sith are near.

its like the screenwriters wrote the 1st few eps designed around the sand people flashbacks, then quickly realized they had no idea of how to go thru the plot mechanics of Boba becoming a crime lord, and decided “eh, let’s do a mando ep and a baby grogu ep, then have a vaguely magnificent 7-style coming together of…

Is it Vance or Vanth?

I like that Grogu has more choice than the kids in the old Jedi Order do. But it’s still pretty fucked up. Luke’s line of thinking makes some sense considering he knows that his father’s inability to detach from his loved ones led to his downfall. But it also explains why his attempt to re-do the Jedi order so…
