Philomath Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 18 hours ago, Toaster Retribution said: I really hope the coming episodes of season 2 develop the plot around the Child and establishes a main cast, rather than "hey, lets have these random adventures on different places for one episode". Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the season premiere, but it wound up feeling a lot like filler. Sure, the Fett armor and Bobas cameo will surely be very important down the line, and hopefullt Cobb Vanth will as well (I really enjoyed him, and Timothy Olyphant was great). But the sand people and the Krayt Dragon really just felt like a one-off thing. Also, those Tuskens who had to draw out the Krayt dragon from its cave defenitely has one of the worst jobs in Star Wars. Poor guys. I actually agree with this a bit. I have thoroughly enjoyed the show, but I do look forward to a bit more connection between each episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. Star Wars properties need to quit being coy with new canon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottTheBrave Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I feel like Mando is building his own private army. He has the respect of Cobb, his people, and the sand people. I could easily see him calling on them by the end of the season to help fight Moff and his stormtroopers. and who doesn’t want to see Raiders v Stormtroopers? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Reading Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 So, I just watched the first 2 episodes and I must say 3 things. I love this show I really like the humor and how deadpan the mandolorian is, and I worship baby yoda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaywalk Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thoughts on Chapter 10 Spoiler Well, that was certainly a ride! I quite enjoyed the horror aspects of the episode, and while it was fun, I found it lacking. To me, the show hasn’t quite found its identity. Part of the show has teased a greater overarching plot, while the others have been more serialized. Perhaps I wouldn’t struggle with this as much if the episodes were released all at once instead of weekly—which I know won’t happen—but while we only get 30-60 minutes each week, I would really like if we got a little more progression with each chapter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottTheBrave Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I loved it a lot. This is very much a filoni style show, even if it’s Jon whose doing most of the writing. It reminds me a lot of Clone Wars and Rebels. An overarching story, but plenty of episodes that don’t deal with that directly. The thing is, those episodes all have greater meaning for the characters. for example, this episode is moving forward the main arc by pushing din towards the other Mandos. More importantly, it’s really developing the child and din’s relationship. He’s quickly taking on the father role, leading to the inevitable “I can’t leave him” conclusion we’ll come to when din has to choose between leaving the child or not. Din is learning to be more sympathetic. Both he and the child are learning morality lessons. They also addressed dins relationship to the new republic, and the almost destruction of the razor crest will certainly play into the next few episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) I shall now use the same standards to judge the remaining season as I used for judging the final season of The Clone Wars. By those standards, this episode sucks Spoiler The standard is "does this episode have Ahsoka Tano?" If the answer is "no", the episode automatically sucks Edited February 3, 2021 by Ooklara 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 My thoughts on the new episode: Spoiler I do not like spiders. I never have. My dad says I will not like Alien because of this, and now I know what I'll never watch. Other than that, there wasn't much for me to comment on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneeente Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 This show reminds me so much of Firefly.. I like it a lot, imho the Mandalorian is way better than the last three actual SW-movies, and it hurts to say that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “bounty hunter in space” theme is really similar to “cowboys in space”, and Baby Yoda is basically just River. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndlerunner Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 So this latest episode of Mandalorian gave me the same vibes that I did when watching the Clone Wars Season 2 Episode "Brain Invaders" when I was like 8 or 9. Those vibes are: "I'm terrified right now. What the heck is that. Ah that's gross. I think I just developed a new fear" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philomath Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Episode 2.2 was fun. Spoiler So many mothers all just trying to take care of their kids. Speaking of kids... Do you think Mando will ever give Baby Yoda it’s own name? I really hope they made it on time for Frog Mama and her eggs. 17 hours ago, Spren of Kindness said: My thoughts on the new episode: Reveal hidden contents I do not like spiders. I never have.

Truthless of Shinovar Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Ehh I thought episode 2.2 was pretty lame. Nothing I could directly put my finger on, but overall, I feel like it was a pretty much pointless episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby yoda not caring if they eat babies because Y U M. Also it lets you know what the rebellion did post-empire, which I thought was useful. I think we will need to watch the next episode to make an opinion on this one. wait hold on should i spoiler tag this or is this thread now the S P O I L E R Z O N E Edited November 7, 2020 by Koloss17 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing I could directly put my finger on, but overall, I feel like it was a pretty much pointless episode. I wasn't impressed either, but I do feel like we'll see the direct fallout of this episode in the next one. And I think that's a relatively new trend for this season. Last season we had breaks of time between each episode. Maybe it was a day, maybe a few weeks or months. But time passed. This time around, one episode leads into the next after a couple of days at most. And I like that change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Reading Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 So... I was watching episode 7 with my sister and mom and we reach the end and my mom just turned it off. How can you do that? You have to be dead inside to not be able to keep watching it! I mean, Spoiler Quill died and you did not even cry! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
