It made me consider that there could be cool Star Wars stuff that didn't involve the Force, a thought I had after Rogue One but then dropped after TLJ.

Yeah Mandalorian was ok at best but that's not surprising, spaghetti westerns are pretty bad in general.

Overall the memes are better than the show.

My favorite part was when I was reading the Mandalorian thread in TVIV, and all the posters were saying they hoped there would never be a lightsaber in the show. Then the bad guy pulled out a lightsaber and everybody was ecstatically excited. :iiam:

That was the literal opposite of a lightsaber: a dark saber

Well I guess a dark fork would be the literal opposite but you get what Im saying

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Also the thing he pulled out has meaning to the Mandalorian culture, rather than just being a laser penis. It's also primarily used by people that aren't space wizards. Which is really what people didn't want, the Mandalorian turning into "Space wizards push their laser penises together because they are literally the only thing that matters in the galaxy".

"The Darksaber was an ancient and unique black-bladed lightsaber created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order, prior to 1019 BBY."

From the star wars wiki. It's been in the Clone Wars show and some other EU type things.

I was the first person to post how much I didn’t want a lightsaber in The Mando Show, and I was thrilled by the Darksaber. It’s because the Jedi and the Sith are the most boring parts of Star Wars, but this was a cool way to bring a lightsaber into the story that somehow culturally relevant to the main character while also completely leaving the Jedi and the Sith out of it.

The Mandalorian is NOT a Spaghetti western, it’s a the kind of Japanese samurai drama that is what all your favorite Spaghetti Westerns are based on :colbert:

Samurai movies are just the Japanese version of the western.

Yeah I loved the first season but I'm expecting it to get all Filoni'd up and be terrible sooner rather than later :(

Edit: Samurai films are a subset of "Westerns" that is closely related to Spaghetti Westerns where they mutually feed off each other.

Oh gently caress, are you serious? djnskdfjnlxvknxv why

Seriously just let the skywalker saga be dead already.

It makes me crazy that the star wars writing team has an entire universe of characters and stories, but they keep rehashing the same tired characters. Like do we really need to see Chewbacca yet again?

Let them all stay in the past. Make some new characters and use them to sell toys.

For all the bitterness and division Star Wars movies cause, everyone's always willing to head back to the well.

The Mandalorian is pretty good, but it definitely benefits from the fact that people don't have high expectations for TV. It's as pandering as any JJ movie at times and the plotting is a bit of a mess. People saying it looks like it's movie quality are :rolleyes:. It's designed around its budget, and that's OK.

Frankly I think the best part of the show is the constant reaction shots of the helmet.

How Wonderful!

It looks better than the movies because they're not trying to CGI dewbacks into every other scene.
