The Mandalorian
We just finished watching both seasons of this show over the last month. We loved it! It's corny and slaptstick at times, in a way that felt true to the original trilogy. Overall it felt really really well done on all counts, except a bit of the acting here and there (Gina Corano is pretty wooden, and Rosario Dawson was pretty blah). The storytelling is really great, and, they've set up so many possible new Star Wars shows, for better or worse. (I'm not sure what the point of a Boba Fett show will be, but whatever.) This was easily the most entertaining Star Wars content for me personally by a million miles, since the original trilogy. A

Re: The Mandalorian
I'm finally up to Season 2, starting Episode 2 next... This seemed like a sure fire homerun series for someone like me, but it took me slogging through the first 4(?) episodes (until they get to the planet with the AT-ST in the forest) for me to get interested. I think it's very slow... however, once I got to Episode 5 (I think) I've been enjoying it. Seeing the first Episode of Season 2 and the ending of it has me excited to see the rest, even if the internet has spoiled Season 2's ending for me already.

Though they're right, Sebastian Stan should have played Luke instead of Mr. Bad CGI Face.

Re: The Mandalorian

where the Mando took his helmet off for IG-11, and gave the viewers at home a gratuitous face-shot.

he gets his lid off a few times, but by then it's not gratuitous - it's a part of the storytelling and development of Mando's character, and the way he has to challenge his own sense of self in support of little bebbe yoda

had him remove his helmet so IG-11 could fix him up, but position the camera so the viewer couldn't see his face. I wanted to honour that mystery longer
