The Song Fight Bulletin Board

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

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.

Timothy Olyphant as The Marshall sure was fun being a Deadwood fan, in

Well I really enjoyed it, apart from the end of the first season

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

and look, I know that in the second season

because honestly in the first season they could have

Spoiler

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

I really liked the series. It was kind of a wtf transition to Boba Fett, but I quickly got into that too. Just watch the first ep of Obi Wan last night. Not what I was expecting, but promising.

I loved it, with the spaghetti western/star wars vibe, and the score really bore that out. totally enjoyed it in english with my family and then watched it again in italian on my own.

Great! Now I want spaghetti.

And yes, Obi Won has my undivided attention just like the first two.
