The Mandalorian The Mandalorian: General Thread

Thought this was hilarious

At this point, I have to wonder what a person's issue is for them to leap to a dig at Rey.

And JJ managed to do neither in the end with TROS.

I always liked Rey and still do, I think people had an issue with things coming a bit easy for her at times, but the Palpatine connection showed why that was for me, and was something I liked in TROS.

 

[BatLobster]

So then. Who actually trained Luke in lightsaber combat? Who taught him how to force choke and force crush like we saw in Mando. It sure wasn't Yoda. I'll wait.

I personally hate the idea that you have to be from a famous bloodline to be unusually strong in the Force. I was much more into the idea of her being a "nobody," tbh.

Agreed. My preference would have been to see her be like a late bloomer when it came her abilities with the force. Only after training harder than others and overcoming her own trials, then we should have seen Rey emerge as a powerful Jedi that would be capable of leading a new generation.

Also, if the goal was to give her the Skywalker surname, then they should have established a believable father/daughter like relationship between her and Luke.

We at least just barely missed Finn Calrissian.

Rey's heritage being insignificant and cementing Kylo as the villain were my two favorite parts of Last Jedi, so naturally JJ had to undo both of them.

Whenever I see memes like this I just cringe. I'm not some huge fan of Rey. I hated what Abrams did with Rise of Skywalker, but I I see no reason to trash Rey or Abrams or Kennedy for that matter to prop up Mandalorian. Just another reason why I hate social media and meme culture in general.

 

[TheVileOne]

So, after this finale...

Spoiler

is Mando over now? Kind of seems like it with the Boba Fett series now taking over? His story seems finished and all the creatives look like they’ve moved onto different Star Wars shows.

I don't feel like his story is over because there are lot of loose ends untied. I just feel like the story of Grogu and Mando is over for now.

 

[Schlosser85]

A lot of people can’t praise one thing without tearing down something else.

 

[Sithborg]

TROS is a strange beast for me. I don't hate it. But good god, I have some strong feelings about JJ and Terrio's work on it...

 

[Albright]

I don’t get, why it’s a big problem now for Bo Kattan to defeat Din in a battle? Mando defeated Moff Gideon and spared his life. Bo Kattan can still defeat Din and not killing him

 

[Sithborg]

Given how she got it last time, I think Bo-Katan is especially concerned with how she wins it this time. Defeating another Mandalorian, who already indicated he did not want it, who did what you should have done by beating Gideon, is going to have much less weight with other Mandos than if she had defeated Gideon, the man who took it from her, herself.

Also rewatched the first Mando arc in Clone Wars. I'm not sure when it happened, but somehow Satine has solidified herself as my favorite Mando. Sorry Sabine.

 

[TheVileOne]

Why not just make up a story? Who's going to break the lie?

I'm not going to speculate how she got it last time was the problem until it's properly and adequately shown as such.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, it probably wasn't an issue to most Mandos. And it wouldn't have been if she had been a good Mandalore.

[looks at the stated result of her leadership]

I think a failed Mandalore has more to prove.

 

[Albright]

or give it back to moff gideon and she can retrieve it from him. If it fails, Cara Dune or Din can kill him, before he kills Bo-Katan. If he refuses she can tease him, until he strikes back.

Well as someone who hates TLJ the retcon didn't bother me. We should have seen Rey training so much more in TLJ than we did. But her being a Palpatine at least explained why she was so powerful without any training.

I will say this and leave this convo...

I don't think for one milisecond that either Terrio or J.J. had much say of ANYTHING in TROS.

I think they were given obvious mandates, abided by them for that sweet, sweet cash, and were then addtionally told that they were gonna have to pack it all into a run time that was calcuated to make the optimum amount of showings in a day.


And thus I stand by this...


Disney/Lucasfilm overreacted to online hostility towards TLJ, meddled too much in trying to make a "safe" product and in trying to placate the fans, made a hot mess of a movie that ultimately satisfied very few.

In my review I called it Overcorrection: The Movie.

Yeah I have to agree with this. I don't hate TROS like many. But even as someone who hates TLJ and thought it caused too many problems for the 3rd movie. They either needed to run with what TLJ had set up, or retcon the hell out of it.

In the end they did a mixture of both and didn't go far enough with either, which just didn't help matters in the end.

Still, at least TROS gave us actual scenes of Rey training and Luke being more back to his old self.

I'm super hype! Best of both worlds.

Luke literally had like one scene. As a ghost.
