In my ongoing exploration of Disney+ I’ve started s3 of the Mandalorian. I’d read a lot of opinions about it that kind of ranged from lukewarm to bad. And I guess I’m an Old and easily amused, or whatever, but I’m having great fun with it. Nothing is as cool as s1 was… that was some great tv. But even though this is the weakest of the three seasons for sure, it still has a lot of fun stuff. I legit LOL’d when they put Grogu into IG-12 and he started hitting the NO and YES buttons. And later on when they were walking together, and he’s hitting the YES button with each footstep?  I seriously howled laughing both times. Am I a simpleton? I’m not really sure about Bo Katan and this whole plotline but I’ll tell you, this show always has kept me entertained.

Over all, Season 3 is perfectly middle of the road Okay for a Star Wars anything. Nothing ground breaking, but it does what it does mostly competently. People are also just insufferably miserable about Star Wars online as a default state now, and they've collectively Overton Window'd Attack of the Clones into be a good movie somehow, so the curve we are grading all of Star Wars on now is shaped like the goddamn euthanasia coaster.

The one who carried a big autofire gun just like the infiltrator terminator in Kyle Reese’s flashback? Just saw him get shithoused by what looked like three palpatine-era imperial guards, and realized, I will miss him!

This kind of e/n I guess. So please scroll down if you don’t want that. But I think I have finally reached this point in my SW fandom and/or my life (most likely both) where I’m now able to sit back and not nitpick and just enjoy all this stuff we have now. I saw the original film in the theater when I was eight. Decades later, I was pretty critical of the prequels. At some point more recently, I just forgot about all the bad juju, forgot all the wookiepedia-type debates, and instead started sitting back wide-eyed, shoveling popcorn in my mouth and watching all this stuff through a child’s eyes (in a sense) It’s been huge fun and re-subbing to D+ is the best money I’ve spent in a long time. I can (but won’t) go on at length about pros and cons of everything I’ve watched so far. But as a whole my opinion is very positive. I have also rewatched Rogue One like 3x because I love it. fake edit: I have yet to watch Boba’s Book faker edit: also I realize I just basically created an ad for Disney+ up there. 🚨 Do not quote me Disney, I will sue 🚨

I'm equally deferential to Star Wars because it's all plastic toy slop aside from Empire, Andor, and parts of The Last Jedi, but BoBF was just profoundly taxing to watch, I found. There's some decent bits to it, like the episodes that are basically The Mandalorian Season 2.5, and Ming-Na Wen and Temuera Morrison are just loving fire every time they're on screen together being dumb criminal shitheads who walk around town having what goods and services are explained to them, but it's a LOT of wasted potential for a series that was initially sold on this image:

Yeah, everything with the Tuskens was really good Just...ya know, shame about the other 85% of the show (The twi'lek bar lady was also a lot of fun, but...well, she's in the other 85% of the show, so that doesn't end well either) 'Wasted potential' is the name of the show

Eh, they still sell action figures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo and they're all dead. You can get a Lego death star and that got blown to smithereens. All of the objects and personages depicted are from a distant galaxy long ago and likely destroyed or dead by now.

TPM is getting a theatrical re-release in May for its 25th anniversary https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-the-phantom-menace-to-return-to-theaters-this-may-for-its-25th-anniversary Doesn't all of that late 90s CGI look like garbage now? The last time I saw a clip from one of the big fight scenes near the end I remember it looking like trash.

I would assume TPM is the only prequel movie that would look good on a modern cinema screen since it was actually shot on film and not on an early-2000s digital camera.

Yeah this was my impression last time I watched through the prequels. I don't think it's entirely the cameras to blame though, it's more that they were still generally using sets instead of greenscreening everything they possibly could. The digital stuff is mostly in the backgrounds and out the windows.

Book of Boba Fett has some good stuff in it but half of that doesn't involve Boba at all and none of it involves the nominal main plot of him becoming a crime lord. Still better than Kenobi.

They should make a Star war that is a final fantasy seven, where Darth Vader is Sephiroth and Cloud is like a regular Naboo trooper who idolized some Jedi who managed to barely survive an encounter with Vader and the empire did experiments on him and the Jedi and they escaped and then the Jedi was killed by clone troopers and gave Cloud his lightsaber (and it's a fuckin huge buster sword of a lightsaber) and Cloud's memories are all hosed up and he thinks he's that Jedi and he helps some rebel cell do some terrorism in Coruscant. And Darth Vader's father is actually Jenova that palpatine discovered in the outer rim

"Steal from one of the japanese franchises that has at various points been a better star wars than star wars" is a perfectly fair suggestion but unlikely to be taken. I don't think anybody there besides gilroy has the courage to make a star wars that reflects anything but star wars- not even one that reflects marvel
