Vinylshadow posted:The back half of both seasons is where the series shines, but man are the first few episodes a chore to get through on repeat viewings Resistance tries to squeeze some life out of the sequels to its credit but overall it isn’t that great (as you said, both seasons don’t really start getting good until the back half). It also doesn’t help that the cast is kind of meh (at best), Filoni wasn’t involved quite as much as he was with the other shows as I understand it, and at the time the show came out I believe they only had one movie to work with In other news, Bad Batch S2 has been pushed back from its original planned release date of Spring 2022 and is now just TBA: https://thedirect.com/article/star-wars-bad-batch-season-2-release-date-update Larryb fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Mar 3, 2022 |

stev posted:My favourite storm trooper chumping is Jedi Fallen Order. By hammering the block button when they're firing at you, you one shot most of them without even looking in their direction. Casually mow the fuckers down, then get killed by a spider. I love how they panic when they do manage to land a hit "I hit him! ...Why did I do that?!" "Please don't hurt me!" "I think we made him angry..." "A Purge Trooper complimented me yesterday." "The Second Sister tried to compliment me once, but we were too busy fighting Jedi." "We are truly assets to the Empire." "Mhm."

Anyway back to Star Wars: tryna figure out when to kick off my prequel binge of watching episodes 1&2 then the clone wars and finishing off with episode 3 before Kenobi drops. Figure it’ll take me about a month to get through the show with my schedule but I wanna start now cus I can’t wait.

Here's the breakdown on all of them, looks like there's actually just 5. Of course, everyone's idea of what to keep and what to trim would be different if they were to attempt the same exercise—but I think the creator does a great job at making those calls. They also trim a lot of the sillier material out, which frankly I'm totally okay with even if the actual films have their fair share of that stuff. Plus they're really well made, seamless and interwoven with each other to feel less episodic and more like proper movies. Would highly recommend tracking them down if that sort of thing would appeal to you.

Man, that first episode of the second season of Mandelorian is really great.  (killing the Krayt dragon)Also love that the Marshall was driving around on what looked like a pod racer engine.

Darth TNT posted:Man, that first episode of the second season of Mandelorian is really great. Yeah, it's the only episode to me that feels like it fully embraces the "let's just make a spaghetti western in space" angle. Plenty of other episodes have moments or use the aesthetic, but that episode is the only one that fully delivers.

It looks like those are mostly earlier stories so you'd still want to watch things like Umbara or The Wrong Jedi (or the Mortis arc if you like those). Not to mention the final 4 episodes. The stuff in movie 2 is skippable too.

 Ewan looking amazing as always as Obi-Wan. Love (casting spoiler) that we're getting another Inquisitor. Not surprising, but still good to get confirmation. Now I just need a trailer, but I know we tend to not get trailers until we're pretty close to premiere date, now. I'm expecting one near the end of this month, once we're within 2 months of the premiere on May 25th. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Mar 9, 2022 |
