Oh, speaking of episode 2. Did anyone else see the eggs and think, "oh god, please don't shoehorn Xenomorphs into the SW universe..."

They were actually based on old concept art from empire strikes backs...

Huh, neat! Although I meant more about how the eggs opened and then we saw the legs all curled up. For me it reminded me straight away of the first Alien film with the face-huggers.

 

That's cool about ESB, though! I did start thinking about Hoth when the Razor Crest first dipped below the clouds.

 

And again with an Alien reference, when I realised they were spiders I thought, "NOPE! Nuke that place from orbit."

Thanks for the valuable contribution.

To quote Mando "That's not saying much"

Mandalorian succeeds because like the earlier Star Wars movies it borrows from successful Westerns and samurai shows. From there it comes up with storylines that are well-paced and with characterization developed across several episodes.

I'm glad you do, I'm still a bit lost! Is Gideon trying to transplant midi-chlorians into Stormtroopers?

 

I read an article that said Gina Carano has got herself into some hot water on Twitter recently, causing some doubts about if she will keep returning in the series. But I guess with the way the episode ended they don't have to keep bringing her back.

That's what it looks like.  Dark Forces Troopers.  Think back to the first ID Engine Star Wars game.

It's more SJW's trying to "cancel" her because of some nonsense to do with her NOT using gender pronouns or something like that.

Pedro Pascal is an awesome actor. Loved him on the Netflix series "Narcos". Here's an interview with The Mandalorian himself.

I doubt those complaining even watch the show simply the perpetually outraged needing to waste time & the media fueling them

[FloatingFatMan]

Well... That was just... AWESOME!!

 

Spoiler

Dawson looked fantastic as Ahsoka Tano and I felt she did a really good job with her body language etc in portraying the character. They also did a great job of portraying Ahsoka's skill and agility with light sabers.

 

[Xenon]

OMG!

 

Spoiler

Where is your Master? Where is Grand Admiral Thrawn! That alone can be a spinoff series. It could even show what happened to Ezra!

I suspect Filoni is planning to bring as much as his own "Filoni" verse, and even some of the old EU unto Mandalorian, and probably any spin offs, as he can get away with.

[Xenon]

Something else just occurred to me. 

 

Spoiler

Din (the Mandalorian) now has a anti-dark saber weapon. That beskar spear can stop a lightsaber. So it should work on the dark saber.

There is a good chance we will see Luke Skywalker at some point. This is 5 years after Return of The Jedi so technically, Luke, Han, Chewy and all of them are still alive. It will be interesting to see if Mark Hamills makes a cameo appearance.

 

By the way, Michael Biehn has gotten old. My God.

I hope not! At least in the Mandalorian. Let it happen in a spin off series.

 

And yea Michael Biehn did really age. 

[spy beef]

Who's going to play Ezra, Thrawn and Sabine?

[spacelordmaster]

I really loved Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo on Tombstone. He nailed that character. How time flies. So sad to see him get so old.

[spacelordmaster]

Such a bad ass. Loved him.

So I watched Season 2 Episode 1 and it was super boring and ridiculous. "Give me your armor", "no", "I aint asking", "ok but do me a massive favour first even though you don't need to at all and there is legit no reason for you to have any motivation whatsoever to do so", "ok". Then I look up episode 2 and apparently it's worse... Do I chug along? Episode 1 felt like a chore.

Tip #1.  Never ever ever believe "professional" critics, especially with science fiction. They're all either hacks or SJW a-holes.

Tip #2.  Only continue to watch something if you enjoy it.  If you're bored already, go find something else to entertain you.  Personally, I'm loving it so far, but that's me not you. You do you.

[Dick Montage]

For me, this show is utterly enriching the Star Wars galaxy.  It's familiar yet different and feels like an organic way of bringing some flesh to the weak cannon storylines post ROTJ.  Even the slowest episodes (for me - ep2) I enjoyed more than msot other current sci-fi.

And yet oddly, I feel compelled to suggest that you grow up.  Funny isn't it...

I don't, checked out the user reviews.

That's what I was looking for. See "User Reviews" on imdb are completely useless as I can't verify the source. I know you, and you've said it's good. Which was what I asked, thanks for the tips.
