Season 2. There's a whole episode that's basically an homage to Yojimbo and Princess Mononoke where industrialist antagonist, who is stripping a world for it's resources and terrorizing the locals, is accused of working for Thrawn.
Those looked so fucking dumb
You know theyre gonna sell those and the biscuits at disney though
When they could just have glow in the dark cyan beer instead
what the fuck is with his intro music
I just watched the last one and they play that little slide whistle thing repeatedly
it used to play once when he showed up somewhere
last time it was when he jumped from the ship, then when he landed, then when he got in the Naboo ship, then again when we see him flying the ship
5:07 to 5:27 is it specifically. Some people will insist it's more, but they're just mistaken because of the Gall Spaceport level from Shadows of The Empire.
If you think that's any kind of theme or leet motive you're fucking dumb. That's the worst most unmemorable piece of Star Wars music I've ever heard. Did you just pick some random transition and decide it was Boba music?
>why didn't they just use Boba Fett's theme from ESB?
Probably so they don't have to pay John Williams royalties as much. They do use SOME of the themes he wrote, but very sparingly.
Wait, he quit? Fuck that sucks. So that explains why there is no new music and it’s the previous soundtrack that’s reused. Wrongly.
I always kinda knew season 3 would be sketchy because of too many cooks in the kitchen but god damn was this season gutted, worse sin was placing the first episodes in bobas clubhouse.
With Mando being the ONLY success nu-wars (not counting Andor since it was not released when Mando was in production), I imagine that there has been a shit ton of meddling by Disney executives. Pushing episodes from season 3 to bobas bathhouse can’t be Favreau’s fault.
But he also wrote all of Book of Boba Fett. So the writing for Boba Fett and Mando S3 were meddled with?

Biggest flaw of Boba was the director thinking he was making Sharkboy and lava girl again.

Everything is rumors and speculation, but it’s obvious that something went wrong with the production of Boba. It could be many things, but I am positive the episodes was chopped up and re-edited beyond recognition. Also jamming in plot significant episodes from Mando S3 didn’t exactly help either.
not really. the episode focuses on that cloning scientist with the round glasses that was with moff gideon. people are just jumping to all sorts of conclusions as to why
Its all about establishing tomboy chick as the villain
They had motivations for andor guy trying to restore law and order and avenge his guards too, and they spent time on him seeing how shitty a desk job is.
The show should have ended with S2. They then should have just started a new show about The New Republic/ New Jedi Order like Game of Thrones that bounces between stories and characters and tells a large story.
Slapping "Star Wars" on something no longer works to sell the product. More-over, when it reads "DISNEY'S...", it's a death sentence to whatever it's attached to.
Funny part is they made this the longest episode of the series at 58 minutes to account for the side plot where most of the episodes have been 10-20 minutes shorter and people are still complaining.
I bet ut was supposed to be parallel to mando's story. Every episide would have 5 of that dr's life but it was so bad they decided to flush it in one episode.
yeah but alot of the older star wars guns are based on like WW1 and WW2 guns which arent as well known so they effectively look alien to the eye
thats literally just an AK and everyone has seen an AK, they have such an identifiable shape that its retarded to try to pass it off as a scifi weapon.
>morons instead of aliens >ak47's instead of blaster rifles
why the fuck does blandor get so much praise on here
>worst part about Andor is a single prop
Yeah it was pretty kino
lol nice space AK
>I-IS THAT A FUCKING REAL LIFE GUN!? WTF HOW DARE THEY BE SO FUCKING LAZY OUR GUNS DO NOT EXIST IN THE STAR WARS UNVIERSE SIRS! FUCKING LAZY PRICKS GEROGE LUCAS WOULD NEVER BE SO FUCKING LAZY AND USE REAL LIFE GUNS TO FILL IN THE SHOES OF LAZER GU-
>first part of ep 3 was a based action sequence >then it became some Blandor-tier shit about a some scientist
It's amazing how Disney can't stop fucking shit up.
A really dumb subplot with quite possibly one of the top 5 dumbest scenes in the entire Disney Star Wars era. Yes, it's that bad. It might have eeked out >Vader is unable to chase Obi-wan because of fire immediately after having put out fire two seconds before
I was genuinely floored by how bad the writing got in the latest episode. I thought I had seen it all, I thought we had reached at least the point where you could only go as dumb as "Somehow, Palpatine returned", it wouldn't get any better but at least it would only ever equal that.
But then, somehow, they had a scene where they let the girl into the room while they were brain fucking him, using something that had previously been used for torture, even though he keeps screaming about her being evil, and they not only show her the exact way to up the things to dangerous levels, they not only have zero restrictions to turn this thing from mild brain fuckery to brain melting, they not only don't even have a safety feature on a fucking knob, but then they seriously, no joke, IMMEDIATELY ALL LEAVE THE ROOM AND HER ALONE IN SAID ROOM WHILE THE PROCEDURE IS STILL GOING.
THEY FUCKING WENT "Yeah this thing's super dangerous, lady who he is saying tricked him and we let into this room despite you not being allowed in here. This thing, right here, this little twisty knob. So long as you keep it at this level it's fine, but if someone were to turn it up, and you could because there's not even a little stopper, let alone a password, you would melt his brain. Whelp, time for me to just up and leave! Enjoy being alone in this monitoring room while a BRAIN ALTERING MEDICAL PROCEDURE is happening right there!"
Did the bitch from Wanda/Vision who directed the "Escape" on the army base direct this shit?
>Professor from first scene gets tricked by tomboy ex-empire girl and arrested cause they think he's doing an illegal science. >He gets put into a repurposed Mind Flayer, yes, they called it that, but insist it's "Safe' >Ex-Empire girl, who they know is ex-empire, is let into the room where they control the Mind Flayer because "She's his friend", ignoring that he keeps saying she was in on all of this. >Guy in control of it literally points out that it's only safe on a low setting >And points out how to turn up the setting >EVERYONE LEAVES THE ROOM >Yes, seriously, everyone just fucking leaves so the ex-empire girl is all alone in the control room. >She turns it up and starts frying his brain.

I can accept "Let's do a cult thing next to a dangerous lake just so Mando has a monster to shoot." I can. I'm serious, the cult has been shown and established to constantly do this shit and others comment on them doing this incredibly stupid thing. Them caring more about rituals being done "Right" then any sort of sense is fine. It's stupid, but at least they're saying "It's stupid because these are a bunch of cult members who practice really destructive and dumb things over and over" and you need to showcase that, making an action scene out of a dumb cult being dumb is fine.
But there's no excuse for that. There's no possible, logical, charitable explanation you can have for that scene. There's not a single way to look at it and have it make sense. There's no way to write around it outside of revealing that literally every single one of them was in on it. That's how bad it is. Either the entire room is in on this guy getting brainfucked and making the girl take the fall, or this is just a new level of dumb that dug right past Mando needing to be saved a second time because he somehow walked into a giant hole.
The best part is him traveling all the way to the planet where the bo katan is just sitting on the throne like a video game NPC, just to tell her "I'm going to this planet right after this conversation".
The only reason why they had that scene was so that baby yoda knew exactly where to return after mando gets caught by the droid and ask her to save his sorry ass.

LMAO I remember in Boba Fett that baby yoda's force power was so strong that he had the power to yank out a leg joint from one of the giant droidekas in the godawful finale.
They can't keep track of anything. The power levels of characters wax and wane depending on plot convenience.

Don't make me defend shitty writing...
He went to her to get the location of where the waters were on the planet, he didn't know where they were located and he couldn't use any sort of tracking due to the planet getting glassed. He needed her to tell him the exact spot to land and go down. That at least makes some sense. What did not make any motherfucking sense was the IG88 subplot.

I thought it was going to be revealed the thing tried to eat him and he shot it to make it let go or something, Bo flew at a pretty odd angle when she went down. That was the only explanation I had to why he suddenly floated that far away, but no, apparently he just fucking launched himself after tripping like a goddamn looney tune, and knocked himself out. Underwater.
This is again ruining the OT because it makes the Rebels and the Republic look absolutely necessary to destroy. It makes Palpatine look like a hero just for killing these fucking overly bureaucratic Soviet Union style morons.
Just how many times does it need to be shown that the Republic is full of anarchy and corruption? Whether its the KOTOR era, Prequels or Sequels the Republic ALWAYS falls into petty squabbling, dysfunction and eventually starts to dissolve, the Jedi intervene and bend the force in a way that defies the built in entropy it wants for the universe, and the Jedi get obliterated for it, requiring a period of time to rebuild from almost nothing.
You can see the LucasFilm Creative Committee's grubby little fingerprints all over Mando since the end of season 2.
It literally took 2 and a half years for them to release season 3. Continuing storylines in other shows and expanding the universe like it's Marvel through Mando simpy because they struck gold with the show.
And mark my fucking words.. They're going to use Mandalorian to clean up their mess from the sequel trilogy.
>And mark my fucking words.. They're going to use Mandalorian to clean up their mess from the sequel trilogy.
I just finished watching the episode. Holy shit this was “they put Mando in the booba fat series” levels of bad, and for most of it I was thinking that maybe the first order had a point. Who the fuck is discount Syril? Why do I care?
That fucking "story team" is full of the most dense, uncreative retards in charge of any fictional franchise I've ever seen. Even Sonic Team manages to keep their autistic audience buying up everything. Star Wars fans have just been pirating everything since TLJ and the mainstream audience isn't into this at all.

I think the idea is to show that the New Republic is complacent and incompetent to a fault, but this is reaching absurd levels.
It's almost like if EVERY SINGLE New Republic character was hit by a retard-ray.
They could have kept the show going decently with an episodic formula of bounty hunting, running into old friends and enemies along the way, and Baby Yoda helping out or getting in the way.
I can stomach a show where the plot is thin or meandering, but it needs to make up for it with strong characters.
I hate the characters in Mandalorian. They are so fucking boring and one-dimensional.
It really did end at season 2 and they should have continued with another show and just have Din show up in other shows sometimes. There really is no plot going on at all. I will say the action is better than previous seasons.
Then they compounded it by having Not-r2 do exactly one thing, an air scan, which you'd think a regular ass spaceship would have as a default because it fucking goes to other planets, and then his "Exploration" is going out of sight and vanishing off the radar.
Now, you'd think, according to what he just established, that this is the exact thing he's worried about. He sent out the droid specifically to see if it was dangerous and, seemingly, it fucking died. Hurrah, we avoided death. But no! He immediately gets out of the motherfucking ship and marches to the area where it vanished and, surprise, is attacked! What the fuck were you expecting? Did you think he was playing hide and go seek? This is why you needed a droid! It's like everything he does has to be for the most pointless and asinine reasons before he blunders into the next set piece!
>which you'd think a regular ass spaceship would have as a default because it fucking goes to other planets
We know that X-Wings have life sign scanners.
He needed the spelunking droid for the difficult terrain so he got a maintenance droid on wheels meant for spaceship interiors.
So he used the droid to check the air, which spaceships also do and his helmet is also a spaceship anyway.
The danger of leaving the baby in the spaceship is established but then it turns out the baby is an ace fighter pilot and navigator anyway.
The reddit atheist lady that knows all about mandalore just hangs around in some weird castle 5 minutes away but never goes to check it until a mutant baby that can't speak shows up.
The hero that kills dragons every other episode is confounded by the concept of water and sinks 300 meters in a second. At least his helmet is a spaceship so the pressure won't kill him. Nope he almost drowned anyway.
You forgot >Random ass robot grabs him, starts draining his blood. Baby Merch has time to float all the way back up to the surface, fly to a completely different planet, get Bo, fly back, go back down this massive cave system, and only by the time they reach the end is he about to actually be killed.
>Bo literally lives on the moon orbiting Mandalore
Neato, still a complete other planet. > and the coordinates were already plugged in,
Wasn't aware this made reverse spelunking, flying to a moon, grabbing someone, returning back to entrypoint, respelunking and still managing to arrive at the exact moment he's about to be killed less comical.

watching it now... jesus fucking christ what is this horrible scene with the doctor and those people sitting at a table talking about how they miss the food.
LETS WALK AND TALK WHILE LICKING THESE GLOWING LOLLIPOPS FOR 5 MINUTES
They had already filmed that shit for Gina's show that she fucked up when she girlbossed too close to the sun and whatever it's building towards, they couldn't just leave it out.
I don't know, making the Nu Republic be just the Empire but Communist instead of Fascist seems like a new idea someone had. Rangera of the New Republic sounds too much like a show that would make them seem heroic.
I wouldn't call this season Reddit, it's just extremely boring with a nonexistent plot. The pilot being less than half an hour was the first sign that something went wrong with this.
>Andor and the more recent and nuanced focus on Imperial bureaucracy, the issues of the New Republic and regular military or ex military characters dealing with how fucked up their day to day situations are >probably some of the best Star Wars material in years >zoomers hate it
lol of course. This is the manifested version of what prequelfags pretended their prequel shit movies were actually about.
Look, gay. Andor was alright. But you know what the problem here is? Andor isn't a high noons action blockbuster. Once you start mixing heavy drama with pew pew kill kill kill, it satisfies nobody and you have exactly what we had here: a literal nonsense interruption on what was otherwise just a fun adventure flick.
>Andor isn't a high noons action blockbuster.
It literally was never advertised as that you stupid gay zoomer. You are just flat out lying if you are pretending Andor is the best written Star Wars material in years.

No seriously, it's time you accepted you're a delusional paranoid schizophrenic who thinks everyone is the same person and go fuck yourself you delusional mental cripple.
Its shows the Rebels as being a bunch of insecure infighting terrorists and also shows the sophisticated and efficient side of the Empire. The first three episodes should have been one pilot episode.
Mon Mothma, Forrest Whitaker and Andor are the only people from the rest of Star Wars you would recognize. There are some officers who are from Rebels but it doesn't matter at all. Not even big deal cameos, they're just there sitting at a table. Same with one Rebel who's in Rogue One a little but you wouldn't know it unless someone told you.
I think they may have even moved that section up to try to hook Andor fans. I feel like that plot could have been chopped up and sprinkled throughout the season. The streaming platform really allows them to analyze what the audience is saying and rearranging episodes and scenes to suit what people are nagging about.
Anyone who would defend that final sequence in the new republic has enough brain damage already. We hit you any harder and you're going to be crying "Autism!" at everything.

There's nothing in the originals that is ever going to look as stupid as pointing out the kill switch to a medical device and then leaving the person being fingered as a double agent alone in the room with said kill device. You can't retroactively make the originals that dumb, this is a special kind of dumb only only current Disney can mange.
To be fair, Disney's New Republic has always been shown as wildly incompetent. The first time they even show up their entire solar system gets blown up and can't do anything to help at all during the entire ST. They're a joke.
>To be fair, Disney's New Republic has always been shown as wildly incompetent.
Even then I can't think of any writing that was just this out and out bad, I mean from a story standpoint, character standpoint, just a logical standpoint it was so nonsensical and out of nowhere. You can't even accidentally into this level of incompetence, this is writing so bad it could only be made to fit a wildly specific plot point. It's just a whole new level of dumb.
Am I the only person who is curious about *why* she is trying to fry his brain? She could have killed him at any time. What is she after? Who does she work for?
He's too much of a good boy. He doesn't care who he works for, he just wants to do muh science. Thrawn only wants psycho Imperial loyalists. Also Disney writers are shit so we have to come up with explanations for them.
Funny how they're going to try to explain Palpatine's "lol the dark side brought me back" explanation with Star Wars pseudoscience instead. The ST is so bad but they refuse to just scrap it.
They also tried to set up more ST content with the Battlefront 2 story DLC a couple years ago but the backlash seemed to have made them rethink it again. Lucasfilm has been pretty obviously walking on eggshells since TRoS and the failure of their Star Wars land at Disneyland. There are a lot of people who will never watch anything that confirms the ST.
>Am I the only person who is curious about *why* she is trying to fry his brain?
Probably. What's the point of asking such a question in the face of such a stupid scene? It could be anything, literally any reason, because the scene was written so poorly that nothing is off the table. She could be doing it because she wanted to test the machine. Would that make any sense? No, of course not, that makes no sense, but nothing about the scene made sense. None of it had any thought in it, so the follow up doesn't need to have any thought to it either.
When they write something that poorly, why waste your brain thinking with all the two brain cells the writers clearly don't have?
>Hey there, lady this guy we just arrested for possible subterfuge keeps claiming is part of subterfuge! >Oh, you're "His friend"? Well you don't actually have clearance and also this would give credence to his fingering you as a conspirator, but let's let you hang out near this equipment anyway! >Also, we're going to explain to you why this is dangerous >And what controls make it dangerous >And also explain what it is and why it's insane to use at all >And then, unprompted, not even bothering to give the audience the barest, tiniest hint of a doubt that we think them and all they are watching are fucking morons, we're just going to leave you alone in this room. >While a medical procedure is happening. >Just up and fucking leave after unprompted telling you how to brain fuck him.
You couldn't have written it worse. From a character standpoint, storytelling standpoint, just fucking exposition standpoint, you couldn't have done worse.
I'm honestly at a loss of how to intentionally do it worse, because this fits an over the top parody. Unprompted explaining how to kill someone with medical equipment and then leaving the room for no reason is like, something you'd see on one of the worst seasons of Family Guy as an intentional gag.
Literally the only time this gay has openly gone against Disney is when "Rise of Skywalker" had her voice as a dead Jedi. He got so butthurt he immediately went to Twitter to rant NO MY WAIFU ISN'T DEAD, even though she would've been over 80 years old at that point, and her race has the lifespan of humans.
it was a given that Star Wars was "a brand" you could "licence", there was some great stuff (like the d6 role playing game and Dark Forces) but you also knew there were terrible Kevin J. Anderson novels starring K'vinn J'und'rson the Jedimost Jedi Who Ever Jedi'd.
difference is nobody ever treated the donotsteals as the TRUE Star Wars, as if the original films were great but simply a launchpad for the majesty that was the Thrawn Trilogy. now that's exactly how people talk about the 3D Clone Wars, or that stupid new Rogue One series ("it's not like the OTHER spin-offs...").
They do have to somewhat validate the ST in some way. If they split the timelines they will never be able to do a theatrical release again. Normalfags aren't keeping up with this shit. A lot of people were confused about Vader being in Rogue One because they thought he was dead. They definitely overestimated casual Star Wars fans and underestimated normal and hardcore fans.
honestly who is this even for? as A Product i get that they just want people to pay for Disney+ subscriptions, whatever.
but if you want to watch the Ahsoka series you have to:
be a Star Wars fan -> have seen the main films -> went on to watch the 3D animated film and series -> then watched The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett (?) -> have an interest in the exciting character, Ahsoka, and seeing her in live action
how the fuck is that more than a few thousand people, on planet Earth?
The first season was such an insane surprise hit in a time when the ST was about to become the first trilogy in history to go down one BILLION DOLLARS from the first movie to the last, after the disaster of a drop that was The Last Jedi at that, that they panicked. The show didn't just get people watching it, way more important was that it actually fucking moved merch. Actual star wars stuff was in hot demand, for once, in a time when even a CEO at hasbro was directly namedropping The Last Jedi as a reason people just out and stopped buying Star Wars merch and directly cited Baby Yoda as a major point of interest
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/21/business/frozen-star-wars-toys-hasbro/index.html >. “However, the Mandalorian, the Baby Yoda, that’s generating a lot of interest and excitement. I know some the fans on the last episodic movie were very upset with the movie. There were people who really disliked that movie so much that they swore off all Star Wars ever again. I’ve heard that. … If Hasbro can get a product out for Baby Yoda, that will help.”
So, they greenlit stuff they thought people might buy, might want. Clone Wars had amazing ratings on television and the "Sixth season" was enough of a hit they immediately greenlit a spinoff for the clones, maybe do that? Boba Fett has always sold, do that. Gina was one of the few female characters people actually responded to in a time when Rey is rotting on the shelves, give her a show-nevermind wrong political alignment. Point is, they don't know who these shows are for, because they don't know who their audience is anymore. They wanted to get rid of the "Diehard nerds" with The Last Jedi and their comments about "Theories ruining star wars", and after the catastrophic and unheard of 732 million drop, they seemed to have succeeded. Now, they're just wondering... who's left, and how do we get their money?
>So, they greenlit stuff they thought people might buy, might want.
A lot of this stuff was inevitable and obvious, even if doing TV shows instead of movies isn't what they had in mind. In Hasbro's case the biggest issue is that kids just don't give a fuck about Star Wars as much as they did even 15 years ago. And I'm not sure that the sequels being good or even being prequel-tier toyetic shitfests would have changed that outcome much. TFA did very well for Hasbro, per Hasbro, but that was never going to be sustainable no matter how the trilogy turned out.
TPM infamously wasn't sustainable either, but the early 2000s were a very different time to be in the toy business.
This is the current issue, the only reason we're on episode 3 and he just resolved the water thing is, realistically, it should've been at most 1 episode. We had to cram in an entire subplot about IG88 that got dropped after a half hour of content and a completely unrelated giant robot thing just to pad out getting to a pool, complete with him, uh, slipping? I don't even know what happened in that forced scene just to get Bo to see the dinosaur. Even then they had to cram in an episode from a completely different, somehow worse written show just to pad out episode 3. So, now we're at the point where >Din has everything he wants, he's all good >Bo has spent the entire damn show saying not to bother with Mandalore, so her wanting to "Take it back" would be fucking weird, so she's right where she was back when she was fine, before. >Baby Yoda said no to the Jedi, he doesn't have anything he wants either. >Apollo Creed is ruling his little place just fine, can obviously handle himself. >IG88 is back to being a paperweight because it turns out we didn't need him.
Everyone's story is over and this is after dragging our feet for a third of the season.
[...] >TPM infamously wasn't sustainable either,
Yes and no, while they overdid it on merch for TPM, all of the Prequels did fucking gangbusters in merch. Even Clone Wars merch was selling insanely well in 2008. Like, number one kids toy, in 2008. Grievous has sold more toys than Rey ever will. GRIEVOUS.
The sequels being good absolutely would've changed it, but who would want any of the new toys, or any of the old characters who got fucked over?
I think toy sales are unironically a major reason for the random padding. Lego has been announcing new sets week-by-week based on each episode. They know mando sells toys but people are kinda over yeed, so they're just gonna spam le cool ships/robots/creatures/whatever in the hopes to make it onto kids birthday lists
Fun fact, Disney saw its star wars sales go up instead of drop for the very first time in 2020.
When they had next to no Rise of Skywalker stuff out. And had the market full of Mandalorian stuff. The Razorcrest sold at least 10 million, alone. And then they blew it up.
I'm still mad about that. The razorcrest was a very practical ship for a bounty hunter, and people liked it. But it had to go, because new ship means new toys. The N1 is so fucking stupid

The choice for the N1 is just member berries, there's no logical reason for a bounty hunter to get a ship with no area to store his stuff or bounties. They could've just made a new design and sold it as a toy

I dunno, man. I'll take Mando getting a nifty little fighter jet over Chewbacca and Yoda knowing each other or Anakin building C-3PO and being space messiah.
They did show the Death Star and people were still confused. I'm going off of my normalfags sister's experience watching it and she used to watch TCW more than I did and she was still confused. Disney really didn't know the SW audience at all when they bought it. There's a reason George focused on toys, games and comics. Way cheaper to produce and satisfy the core fanbase while anyone curious could pick up KotOR or Jedi Outcast and have a good time without needing all this lore.
You had quite a few people who thought Daenerys’ name in GOT, until the moment she died, was Khaleesi. Professional writers wrote a “running out of gas” plot into Star Wars as a major plot point and had a chase in outer space where ships can basically teleport. You are grossly overestimating people.
Grogu needed to go to a Jedi since the early episodes and Luke is the only logical person to send him to. Kennedy fucked it all up by demanding him back. No one will ever care about adult Grogu with a lightsaber who can talk.
I mean the entire point of the show is "gotta get Grogu to his kind, the Jedi", arguably Luke is the only one who makes sense and isn't just a glorified cameo, him appearing is vital to the actual narrative of the show and only works as a finale.
Problem is they just kept going and apparently undid the entire fucking narrative in a spin off so now him being here makes no sense and we don't even know what we're supposed to be doing. I mean, he got redeemed now that he's been in the waters, right? So, is that it? Done? Go off and be a sheriff? Why not?
I mean if they're okay with him being a bounty hunter, surely they're alright with him taking a law enforcement position, right? He literally has no reason not to settle down right now.
>Bo Katan ends up being charismatic enough to get the cult on her side >Din is cool with it since she is following their customs now >the cult wants Bo to lead them but Din has the saber and won't/can't fight her >hijinks ensue
They either get married or Bo Katan tries to kill Din again. Or none of that gets resolved at all and other side plots keep taking up the whole run time.
Realistically there’s no reason any of them should involve themselves again. Din should plow Bo Katan. Baby Yoda should hang out. Everyone should be cool. If they want to go retake Mandalore, I guess go do it. It should be an easy operation since it seems mostly abandoned by anything but some cave humanoids that fight with melee weapons and maybe a few fugitives or some shit? Plus there’s massive amounts of Beskar that they could easily melt a couple suits down and probably buy a fleet of ships with it. Or fuck it, just collect it all and suit some new recruits up. There’s no reason for any of them to involve themselves in anything else at this point unless Disney’s shitty writing dictates it.

Some of that was Star Wars in general, though. AOTC didn't even have its own dedicated toyline, which is insane to think about now. It was a general Star Wars line with a lot of OT stuff mixed in. That's how apprehensive they were after TPM backfired. ROTS got its own branding again, but the composition of the line still wasn't anything like TPM.

The very first Star Wars action figures from Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones were released by Hasbro during Spring 2002 in special sneak preview packaging. The four figures released were Bounty Hunter Zam Wesell, R3-T7, Jango Fett and a Clone Trooper. Hasbro's 3.75" toyline for Attack Of The Clones was launched on April 23rd, 2002 at midnight madness events at Toys'R'Us stores across the United States. Figures based on Attack Of The Clones have been released ever since.

Prequels did a lot of things wrong, move merch wasn't one of them.
>Yes it did?
No it didn't. Not in the all-encompassing way other movies have had. What you posted is just a categorization by source material. The main line of the time was just "The Saga" series. It launched with a lot of AOTC stuff, as one would expect, but even in 2002 OT stuff was getting worked in, and its overall footprint was much smaller than TPM's. This was deliberate.

It had a multitude of lines in exactly the same way, from Lego launches to the 3.75 previews to more of the vehicles than would ever have made it to film.

The second one posted is literally under the "Attack of the Clones, Geonosis Arena" Series.

Of all the 2002 line in the second link I can count, I can't find ANY OT stuff, there is at most 5 in the first link that I've seen.
>and its overall footprint was much smaller than TPM's
Maybe in ancillary merch, but to imply toys and other merch weren't also being sold with AOTC branding is just, well, plainly wrong, and I'm curious where you're getting this information. Everything I've found and remember point to it being a massive wave of merch that sold spectacularly, do you have a source that says it didn't do well?

But at least on Hasbro's end (can't speak for LEGO) it still wasn't like TPM, or even TFA in terms of branding specifically. >The second one posted is literally under the "Attack of the Clones, Geonosis Arena" Series.
Again, that's the source material categorization. The toy line is listed below that under each figure. >I can't find ANY OT stuff

Plenty of it was. Hasbro's main Star Wars line just didn't, unlike TPM and unlike ROTS. >do you have a source that says it didn't do well?
Whether AOTC toys sold isn't the question. I'm sure they did, and it might've even influenced ROTS having dedicated branding for Hasbro again. The point is that Hasbro realized *ahead of AOTC* that they fucked up somewhat with TPM and were much more conservative. It wasn't just Hasbro, either; Lucasfilm Licensing themselves were less aggressive in general.

The whole plot of s1 and 2 was getting yeed to a jedi, and mandos whole arc was about moving away from the cult shit and learning to chill out a bit, take off his helmet, etc.
Its literally as if all of that was never a thing. I knew I wouldn't like mando s3 as much after andor but it really is astoundingly shit
It's very bad. And now even Bo won't take off her helmet because she thinks the cult shit and Din are hot and cool. You could literally also end Bo's arc with her learning she's cool being a Mandalorian with the cult but like you said that goes against Din learning to let the cult shit go. It's so regressive for every character it's insane.
Honestly only s1 and the first episode of s2 were great and the rest was shit. I only watch because of baby Yeed because I love that lil bro like you wouldn't believe
Season is a Stinker so far. Disney Executives really fucked the writers with demanding Grogu back with him.
I don’t think even Thrawn will save it now.

Retard, you don't target your ads towards people who already subscribe to your service. Do they not even bother running those kinds of ads in your impoverished home country? Are all your ads for soap?

They released 2 absolute shit show with Boba and Kenobi.
Most people didn't watch Andor after that, even if it was actually the best star wars tv show ever made.
Mando S3 is just dealing with the aftermath too and since both episode 1 and 3 were terrible, why would you go back to this show?
It's another case of Disney fucking up every good thing they had.

Season 2. There's a whole episode that's basically an homage to Yojimbo and Princess Mononoke where industrialist antagonist, who is stripping a world for it's resources and terrorizing the locals, is accused of working for Thrawn.
he's talking about the last episode. the cunt and pedro pascal got most likely attacked by thrawn fleet
And they were fucking worthless. Disney has no idea how to make villains threatening.

If they removed the glow in the dark ice cream scene I could have enjoyed it.

When they could just have glow in the dark cyan beer instead
what the fuck is with his intro music
I just watched the last one and they play that little slide whistle thing repeatedly
it used to play once when he showed up somewhere
last time it was when he jumped from the ship, then when he landed, then when he got in the Naboo ship, then again when we see him flying the ship
Ludwig Göransson quit and was replaced by the Book of Boba Fett composer who reuses Mando's theme instead of coming up with new music.
i've not seen mando or boba show, why didn't they just use Boba Fett's theme from ESB?
Boba Fett had a theme?
A leitmotif, yes.
?t=306
5:07 to 5:27 is it specifically. Some people will insist it's more, but they're just mistaken because of the Gall Spaceport level from Shadows of The Empire.
If you think that's any kind of theme or leet motive you're fucking dumb. That's the worst most unmemorable piece of Star Wars music I've ever heard. Did you just pick some random transition and decide it was Boba music?
Yea, remember when he's loading Han Solo into the cargo hold of Slave 1?
>why didn't they just use Boba Fett's theme from ESB?
Probably so they don't have to pay John Williams royalties as much. They do use SOME of the themes he wrote, but very sparingly.
Wait, he quit? Fuck that sucks. So that explains why there is no new music and it’s the previous soundtrack that’s reused. Wrongly.
I always kinda knew season 3 would be sketchy because of too many cooks in the kitchen but god damn was this season gutted, worse sin was placing the first episodes in bobas clubhouse.
>jon fav leaves and your show is consumed by retarded Disney hanger ons
I'd quit too. Happy we got one good season out of this mess.
Jon wrote every episode for season 3.
With Mando being the ONLY success nu-wars (not counting Andor since it was not released when Mando was in production), I imagine that there has been a shit ton of meddling by Disney executives. Pushing episodes from season 3 to bobas bathhouse can’t be Favreau’s fault.
But he also wrote all of Book of Boba Fett. So the writing for Boba Fett and Mando S3 were meddled with?
Biggest flaw of Boba was the director thinking he was making Sharkboy and lava girl again.
Everything is rumors and speculation, but it’s obvious that something went wrong with the production of Boba. It could be many things, but I am positive the episodes was chopped up and re-edited beyond recognition. Also jamming in plot significant episodes from Mando S3 didn’t exactly help either.
Sayonara. It's our time now.
No you aren't.
See you next Wednesday, moron.
me? I'll be watching every episode.
I haven't watched the new episode yet. Is it true they're literally focusing on Snoke?
not really. the episode focuses on that cloning scientist with the round glasses that was with moff gideon. people are just jumping to all sorts of conclusions as to why
Its all about establishing tomboy chick as the villain
They had motivations for andor guy trying to restore law and order and avenge his guards too, and they spent time on him seeing how shitty a desk job is.
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if they filled that massive fucking plot hole. We have a right to know
>Somehow….. Snoke is in charge of the First Order
DEEP LORE
Yeah, me too. Mando delivered the baby, the end. I don`t care about these clones and dark sabers or whatever the show is about now.
This.
The show should have ended with S2. They then should have just started a new show about The New Republic/ New Jedi Order like Game of Thrones that bounces between stories and characters and tells a large story.
I still want my show about a fucking bounty hunter
But why? Mando has been the only consistently decent Yidsney star wars series.
>Mando has been the only consistently decent
It was never good.
The hell are you talking about?
Better than Blandor.
Agreed. The fact they have to shoehorn baby Yoda back into it is clunky as shit and short of ruins the previous seasons
Never watched a second of this Boobafet and that Ancore guys show.
Slapping "Star Wars" on something no longer works to sell the product. More-over, when it reads "DISNEY'S...", it's a death sentence to whatever it's attached to.
Funny part is they made this the longest episode of the series at 58 minutes to account for the side plot where most of the episodes have been 10-20 minutes shorter and people are still complaining.
I bet ut was supposed to be parallel to mando's story. Every episide would have 5 of that dr's life but it was so bad they decided to flush it in one episode.
I watched the opening of this episode and about 10 minutes of the scientist guy, and then skipped to the end with mando and bo.
This show is just so bad it hurts. Andor spoiled me.
>Andor spoiled me.
I see I triggered the schizo
>morons instead of aliens
>ak47's instead of blaster rifles
why the fuck does blandor get so much praise on here
Every single Star Wars gun is based on a real one. They're just usually a little less noticeable.
yeah but alot of the older star wars guns are based on like WW1 and WW2 guns which arent as well known so they effectively look alien to the eye
thats literally just an AK and everyone has seen an AK, they have such an identifiable shape that its retarded to try to pass it off as a scifi weapon.

t. wisely tapped out at the end of season 2.
A really dumb subplot with quite possibly one of the top 5 dumbest scenes in the entire Disney Star Wars era. Yes, it's that bad. It might have eeked out
>Vader is unable to chase Obi-wan because of fire immediately after having put out fire two seconds before
Qrd?
Gonna sum up this guy
>Professor from first scene gets tricked by tomboy ex-empire girl and arrested cause they think he's doing an illegal science.
>He gets put into a repurposed Mind Flayer, yes, they called it that, but insist it's "Safe'
>Ex-Empire girl, who they know is ex-empire, is let into the room where they control the Mind Flayer because "She's his friend", ignoring that he keeps saying she was in on all of this.
>Guy in control of it literally points out that it's only safe on a low setting
>And points out how to turn up the setting
>EVERYONE LEAVES THE ROOM
>Yes, seriously, everyone just fucking leaves so the ex-empire girl is all alone in the control room.
>She turns it up and starts frying his brain.
ha ha ha
Ok, that was a good Tom and Jerry cartoon episode recap, but what really happens, anon?
>t. wisely tapped out at the end of season 2.
You aren't really wise unless you tapped out at the start of the Force Awakens teaser trailer.
I was genuinely floored by how bad the writing got in the latest episode. I thought I had seen it all, I thought we had reached at least the point where you could only go as dumb as "Somehow, Palpatine returned", it wouldn't get any better but at least it would only ever equal that.
But then, somehow, they had a scene where they let the girl into the room while they were brain fucking him, using something that had previously been used for torture, even though he keeps screaming about her being evil, and they not only show her the exact way to up the things to dangerous levels, they not only have zero restrictions to turn this thing from mild brain fuckery to brain melting, they not only don't even have a safety feature on a fucking knob, but then they seriously, no joke, IMMEDIATELY ALL LEAVE THE ROOM AND HER ALONE IN SAID ROOM WHILE THE PROCEDURE IS STILL GOING.
THEY FUCKING WENT "Yeah this thing's super dangerous, lady who he is saying tricked him and we let into this room despite you not being allowed in here. This thing, right here, this little twisty knob. So long as you keep it at this level it's fine, but if someone were to turn it up, and you could because there's not even a little stopper, let alone a password, you would melt his brain. Whelp, time for me to just up and leave! Enjoy being alone in this monitoring room while a BRAIN ALTERING MEDICAL PROCEDURE is happening right there!"
Did the bitch from Wanda/Vision who directed the "Escape" on the army base direct this shit?
The very first scene in the first episode of this season was mind-numbingly retarded and should have clued you in how terrible the show is.
I can accept "Let's do a cult thing next to a dangerous lake just so Mando has a monster to shoot." I can. I'm serious, the cult has been shown and established to constantly do this shit and others comment on them doing this incredibly stupid thing. Them caring more about rituals being done "Right" then any sort of sense is fine. It's stupid, but at least they're saying "It's stupid because these are a bunch of cult members who practice really destructive and dumb things over and over" and you need to showcase that, making an action scene out of a dumb cult being dumb is fine.
But there's no excuse for that. There's no possible, logical, charitable explanation you can have for that scene. There's not a single way to look at it and have it make sense. There's no way to write around it outside of revealing that literally every single one of them was in on it. That's how bad it is. Either the entire room is in on this guy getting brainfucked and making the girl take the fall, or this is just a new level of dumb that dug right past Mando needing to be saved a second time because he somehow walked into a giant hole.
>Mando needing to be saved a second time because he somehow walked into a giant hole.
How did he get knocked out in that scene anyway?
The best part is him traveling all the way to the planet where the bo katan is just sitting on the throne like a video game NPC, just to tell her "I'm going to this planet right after this conversation".
The only reason why they had that scene was so that baby yoda knew exactly where to return after mando gets caught by the droid and ask her to save his sorry ass.
Amazing writing. 10/10
>Mando had at least 30 cutting gizmos, lasers and rocket pack that could have gotten him out of that cage trap
>Yeed also could have just force ripped open the cage door
Instead Mando has Yeed go get Bo Katan.
>>Yeed also could have just force ripped open the cage door
LMAO I remember in Boba Fett that baby yoda's force power was so strong that he had the power to yank out a leg joint from one of the giant droidekas in the godawful finale.
They can't keep track of anything. The power levels of characters wax and wane depending on plot convenience.
>The best part is him traveling all the way to the planet where the bo katan is just sitting on the throne like a video game NPC, just to tell her "I'm going to this planet right after this conversation".
He actually left the system for a Tatooine cameo only to come right back.
That fucking subplot.
>Hello, guy from first two seasons, I need to turn IG-88 back online because I need a droid to test toxicity levels on a planet and I only trust that guy.
>Yes, we saw him literally be blown into a thousand fucking pieces by a bomb so strong it killed stormtroopers on either side of him and also he was standing in fucking lava, but now his top half is actually fine, because.
>Oh no, he's evil again.
>Oh no, we crushed his head, we need to go get a thing. Off to tatooine to get a thing.
>You don't have a thing, but you have this other droid? Well you see I did indeed say multiple times it couldn't be any droid, turning down my other friend's offer for one in fact literally minutes ago, but I suppose I could take a droid!
>Why yes, put the droid controls back in the spaceship that specifically was made for my little green merchandising, I guess my original plan was just to strap the killbot to the roof or something!
>NOW we can go lets just ignore that fucking subplot we spent MORE THAN HALF OF THE ENTIRE FUCKING EPISODE ON AND COULD'VE BEEN SOLVED IN SECONDS
The writing for season 1 and 2 was just dumb fun at best but who the fuck is having fun watching a sidequest that just gets dropped?
>>Oh no, we crushed his head
They shot IG-88 with lasers and they had not effect. But a gold bust of Apollo Creed crushed his skull like it was an egg
That bust had more force than a goddamn grenade at point blank range.
>IG88's head gets crushed by statue
>mando: I think he went back to his original programming.
No shit?
The writers really do think the people who watch this show are retarded.
>The writers really do think the people who watch this show are retarded.
*the writers know the people who watch this show are retarded
"That's using your head"
The only reason to have IG-88 make an appearance at all was so that they could tease the reveal 5 years later where he gets a shiny chrome look that can be sold as action figures.
i understand this show is slop for those who just want their rememberberries, but surely even the most braindead of normies has to notice how retarded it was that he was suddenly OK with r5-d4 after him ONLY being ok with ig-11 was such a huge thing in literally the episode right before?
>in literally the episode right before?
It wasn't even the episode right before! It was the same episode! IT WAS LITERALLY MINUTES APART
my dad loves this shit and hes a brain damaged boomer if that explains anything
>They shot IG-88 with lasers and they had not effect
Oh, yeah. He got shot once in the first episode and went down.
>The best part is him traveling all the way to the planet where the bo katan is just sitting on the throne like a video game NPC, just to tell her "I'm going to this planet right after this conversation".
Don't make me defend shitty writing...
He went to her to get the location of where the waters were on the planet, he didn't know where they were located and he couldn't use any sort of tracking due to the planet getting glassed. He needed her to tell him the exact spot to land and go down. That at least makes some sense. What did not make any motherfucking sense was the IG88 subplot.
>I need this droid because I only trust him!
>Wait no nevermind
>What did not make any motherfucking sense was the IG88 subplot.
>>I need this droid because I only trust him!
>>Wait no nevermind
this, it was so fucking retarded. seemingly only existed to give carl weathers his allotted one episode per season, and cameo taika i guess?
Because he’s progressively becoming more and more of a helpless homosexual because gays, disabled people, and women are writing the show.
He fell really fast in... water?
Genuinely I thought the Mythosaur hit him or something the first go round but apparently the damn thing was just hanging around.
I thought it was going to be revealed the thing tried to eat him and he shot it to make it let go or something, Bo flew at a pretty odd angle when she went down. That was the only explanation I had to why he suddenly floated that far away, but no, apparently he just fucking launched himself after tripping like a goddamn looney tune, and knocked himself out. Underwater.
It also makes the sequels so much worse.
This is again ruining the OT because it makes the Rebels and the Republic look absolutely necessary to destroy. It makes Palpatine look like a hero just for killing these fucking overly bureaucratic Soviet Union style morons.
Just how many times does it need to be shown that the Republic is full of anarchy and corruption? Whether its the KOTOR era, Prequels or Sequels the Republic ALWAYS falls into petty squabbling, dysfunction and eventually starts to dissolve, the Jedi intervene and bend the force in a way that defies the built in entropy it wants for the universe, and the Jedi get obliterated for it, requiring a period of time to rebuild from almost nothing.
You can see the LucasFilm Creative Committee's grubby little fingerprints all over Mando since the end of season 2.
It literally took 2 and a half years for them to release season 3. Continuing storylines in other shows and expanding the universe like it's Marvel through Mando simpy because they struck gold with the show.
And mark my fucking words.. They're going to use Mandalorian to clean up their mess from the sequel trilogy.
>And mark my fucking words.. They're going to use Mandalorian to clean up their mess from the sequel trilogy.
I just finished watching the episode. Holy shit this was “they put Mando in the booba fat series” levels of bad, and for most of it I was thinking that maybe the first order had a point. Who the fuck is discount Syril? Why do I care?
That fucking "story team" is full of the most dense, uncreative retards in charge of any fictional franchise I've ever seen. Even Sonic Team manages to keep their autistic audience buying up everything. Star Wars fans have just been pirating everything since TLJ and the mainstream audience isn't into this at all.
I don't think the Story Group has that much creative power. They're just stewards that help keep shit straight.
I fucking hated Andor and now they are trying to make Mandalorian more like Andor (which is show that nobody fucking watched)
Do you see how the planet and the moon look like a giant eye looking down on him?
HAHAHAAHAH>?!
YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE EVERYTHING MY FRIEND LOOK FOR PYRAMIDS EYES PILLARS BUTTERFLIES GLASS ORBS ON THE FLOOR CHILDREN BLACK AND WHITE CHECKERED FLOORS.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED HAHAHAHAAHAHH BLACK STAR BLACK STAR BLACK STAR HAHAHAHAAH AS ABOVE SO BELOW HAHAHA YOU ARE MOCKED YOU ARE THE BIRD THE WAS MOCKED INTO MOCKING HAHAHAAHHA.
>that picrel
I think the idea is to show that the New Republic is complacent and incompetent to a fault, but this is reaching absurd levels.
It's almost like if EVERY SINGLE New Republic character was hit by a retard-ray.
They could have kept the show going decently with an episodic formula of bounty hunting, running into old friends and enemies along the way, and Baby Yoda helping out or getting in the way.
how do I watch disney+ on my 4k philips tv
Wasted digits
Answer the question
Boomer moment
oh god what a bad get
what a fucking perfect post for this get lmao
you have mastered the ways of empty mindedness, my friend. a true buddha
dumb moron
the show now just has action for action's sake. there is no overarching good story anymore.
I can stomach a show where the plot is thin or meandering, but it needs to make up for it with strong characters.
I hate the characters in Mandalorian. They are so fucking boring and one-dimensional.
It really did end at season 2 and they should have continued with another show and just have Din show up in other shows sometimes. There really is no plot going on at all. I will say the action is better than previous seasons.
It was bizarre to see IG-88 be needed to explore Mandelore and then promptly forgotten.by R5-D4.
>It was bizarre to see IG-88 be needed to explore Mandelore and then promptly forgotten.by R5-D4.
you're a poet and don't know it.
Then they compounded it by having Not-r2 do exactly one thing, an air scan, which you'd think a regular ass spaceship would have as a default because it fucking goes to other planets, and then his "Exploration" is going out of sight and vanishing off the radar.
Now, you'd think, according to what he just established, that this is the exact thing he's worried about. He sent out the droid specifically to see if it was dangerous and, seemingly, it fucking died. Hurrah, we avoided death. But no! He immediately gets out of the motherfucking ship and marches to the area where it vanished and, surprise, is attacked! What the fuck were you expecting? Did you think he was playing hide and go seek? This is why you needed a droid! It's like everything he does has to be for the most pointless and asinine reasons before he blunders into the next set piece!
>which you'd think a regular ass spaceship would have as a default because it fucking goes to other planets
We know that X-Wings have life sign scanners.
He needed the spelunking droid for the difficult terrain so he got a maintenance droid on wheels meant for spaceship interiors.
So he used the droid to check the air, which spaceships also do and his helmet is also a spaceship anyway.
The danger of leaving the baby in the spaceship is established but then it turns out the baby is an ace fighter pilot and navigator anyway.
The reddit atheist lady that knows all about mandalore just hangs around in some weird castle 5 minutes away but never goes to check it until a mutant baby that can't speak shows up.
The hero that kills dragons every other episode is confounded by the concept of water and sinks 300 meters in a second. At least his helmet is a spaceship so the pressure won't kill him. Nope he almost drowned anyway.
You forgot
>Random ass robot grabs him, starts draining his blood. Baby Merch has time to float all the way back up to the surface, fly to a completely different planet, get Bo, fly back, go back down this massive cave system, and only by the time they reach the end is he about to actually be killed.
Bo literally lives on the moon orbiting Mandalore and the coordinates were already plugged in, retard.
>Bo literally lives on the moon orbiting Mandalore
Neato, still a complete other planet.
> and the coordinates were already plugged in,
Wasn't aware this made reverse spelunking, flying to a moon, grabbing someone, returning back to entrypoint, respelunking and still managing to arrive at the exact moment he's about to be killed less comical.
Thanks for filling me in, retard.
>being this much of a nitpicking nerd
Bud, none of what happened is beyond my suspension of disbelief. Grogu isn't actually retarded, he displays intelligence, the ship can be set to an auto pilot the N1 has, that's old canon established, Bo doesn't live far away, she's not retarded either. It's not hard to get R5 to map out or just directly tell her where his last destination point was. Why are you like this?
>none of what happened is beyond my suspension of disbelief.
Good for you.
Don't need to read the rest after that, can't change pride.
Cool, I accept your very odd and needlessly divisive Kremlin generated nonsense then. You are mad that a universe with space whales and wizards has ships with auto pilot.
>Cool, I accept your very odd and needlessly divisive Kremlin generated nonsense then
Thanks? Weirdest way to say "I accept your words" ever.
I think he was going to say "I accept your concession" or something and his autistic brain fried halfway, my assumption is the boner he popped when thinking of the Kremlin. As it stands he literally just said he agrees with you.
I'm calling you a retarded, nonsensical gay anon. I'd be surprised if you weren't a bot.
>I'm calling you a retarded, nonsensical gay anon
No, you said "I accept your nonsense". You meant to call me a retarded gay, but you fell victim to the same level of stupidity that caused you to try to defend that hilariously stupid sequence of "Hold up, I need to climb up out of this massive ass pitfall we flew down, get back into the ship, literally fly to another celestial body, talk to someone, fly back to the spot I just came from on said original celestial body, jump back down this massive chasm that requires jetpacks to navigate, go through this tunnel, and phew! We made it EXACTLY in time! What luck!"
I mean there's really only one kind of stupid that says "Well, I believed it!"
Literal. Autism.
It means they're not on an epic quest. They just got lost in the basement of boca raton's castle.
What sort of autism do you possess? I'm truly asking.
The kind that understands basic storytelling.
Lol sure prequelfag.
There's a remarkably huge gap between early mando and these last few braindead episodes.
On the whole I still liked the cave episode because the based crusader knight BTFO the atheist reddit lady with facts and logic.
>my star wars isn't comical
this is sincerely the most bizzare and emotionally stunted fandom I've ever seen.
I realize you're just struggling at this point, but did you really just imply nobody ever found dumb things comical in Star Wars before?
Boy howdy I'd mention Ewoks but there's no way to break stupid.
Are you illiterate?
It's classic epic quest storytelling. Like that time in LOTR when they were close to the end and the fellowship quickly popped back to the Shire to get their favourite pipe.
Is it worth watching season 2? I saw the first one when it came out: admittedly I was shitfaced but I remember enjoying it.
Season 2 has a lot of Filoni wank with cameos from the Clone Wars animated show that gets a bit obnoxious.
>Is it worth watching season 2?
Yes. It has a plot. Season 3 doesn't.
>Early 2000s web series tier writing.
>No memorable characters besides merchandise bait.
Completely forgot the new season started. Can’t wait to not watch it
It’s physically painful for me to watch hour long series for multiple seasons. Just make a goddamn movie.
>Just make a goddamn movie.
They did, then chopped it up.
Standards are lower for TV shows, and you can get away with hiring much cheaper actors and having far cheaper special effects.
I also really enjoy the comics. The Vader comics are kino.
This same episode has an action scene that looked movie quality and probably cost millions. They spend a lot of money on these Star Wars shows.
watching it now... jesus fucking christ what is this horrible scene with the doctor and those people sitting at a table talking about how they miss the food.
MY GOD THIS IS SHIT
They had already filmed that shit for Gina's show that she fucked up when she girlbossed too close to the sun and whatever it's building towards, they couldn't just leave it out.
I don't know, making the Nu Republic be just the Empire but Communist instead of Fascist seems like a new idea someone had. Rangera of the New Republic sounds too much like a show that would make them seem heroic.
LETS WALK AND TALK WHILE LICKING THESE GLOWING LOLLIPOPS FOR 5 MINUTES
I liked this show when he was bounty hunting and had the Razorcrest...
iktfb
It has some awesome episodes. And the last episode is fantastic, especially if you're a fan Luke Skywalker kicking ass and being extremely powerful
How can you go from the kinoest tv show to the redditest show in just one fucking season
I wouldn't call this season Reddit, it's just extremely boring with a nonexistent plot. The pilot being less than half an hour was the first sign that something went wrong with this.
>Andor and the more recent and nuanced focus on Imperial bureaucracy, the issues of the New Republic and regular military or ex military characters dealing with how fucked up their day to day situations are
>probably some of the best Star Wars material in years
>zoomers hate it
lol of course. This is the manifested version of what prequelfags pretended their prequel shit movies were actually about.
Look, gay. Andor was alright. But you know what the problem here is? Andor isn't a high noons action blockbuster. Once you start mixing heavy drama with pew pew kill kill kill, it satisfies nobody and you have exactly what we had here: a literal nonsense interruption on what was otherwise just a fun adventure flick.
>Andor isn't a high noons action blockbuster.
It literally was never advertised as that you stupid gay zoomer. You are just flat out lying if you are pretending Andor is the best written Star Wars material in years.
Oh I said that, did I? The fuck outta here you disingenous pile of raw blubbering feces. You're so far up your own ass you're not even able to follow the conversation, so why even bother posting? Fuck off and don't come back.
Yup, clearly autism. You have autism.
Yeah ok. I'm autistic enough to know you're a gay. I'll be fine, but you'll always be gagging on dicks.
This literally is autism, friend.
You're literally an idiot.
No seriously, it's time you accepted you're a delusional paranoid schizophrenic who thinks everyone is the same person and go fuck yourself you delusional mental cripple.
He drops his dark saber so much it's ridiculous. Every scene he gets in any danger he drops it.
should've stuck with the spear, instead of being a budget jedi
Can someone who watched Andor tell me how it expands the universe? What's the basedboy breakdown ie what does it set up and any significant cameos?
Its shows the Rebels as being a bunch of insecure infighting terrorists and also shows the sophisticated and efficient side of the Empire. The first three episodes should have been one pilot episode.
Mon Mothma, Forrest Whitaker and Andor are the only people from the rest of Star Wars you would recognize. There are some officers who are from Rebels but it doesn't matter at all. Not even big deal cameos, they're just there sitting at a table. Same with one Rebel who's in Rogue One a little but you wouldn't know it unless someone told you.
Indeed. It's garbage now.
I thought the last episode was fine. Fight me.
It was fine, just poorly placed when the main plot still has zero direction.
It kind of gave me echo-of-Andor vibes. That's why I kinda liked it. Also, I find the bad guys engrossing.
I think they may have even moved that section up to try to hook Andor fans. I feel like that plot could have been chopped up and sprinkled throughout the season. The streaming platform really allows them to analyze what the audience is saying and rearranging episodes and scenes to suit what people are nagging about.
Anyone who would defend that final sequence in the new republic has enough brain damage already. We hit you any harder and you're going to be crying "Autism!" at everything.
Why are you so mad at this episode?
Question, when you see people making fun of Super Mario Bros, the first live action one, or Mortal Kombat Annihilation, or The Room, or any number of similar movies, do you sit there and wonder why everyone's so angry all the time?
Why you fucking Blackmosexual
the more they try to make Star Wars look complicated the more the (intentionally very simple) originals look stupid
There's nothing in the originals that is ever going to look as stupid as pointing out the kill switch to a medical device and then leaving the person being fingered as a double agent alone in the room with said kill device. You can't retroactively make the originals that dumb, this is a special kind of dumb only only current Disney can mange.
To be fair, Disney's New Republic has always been shown as wildly incompetent. The first time they even show up their entire solar system gets blown up and can't do anything to help at all during the entire ST. They're a joke.
>To be fair, Disney's New Republic has always been shown as wildly incompetent.
Even then I can't think of any writing that was just this out and out bad, I mean from a story standpoint, character standpoint, just a logical standpoint it was so nonsensical and out of nowhere. You can't even accidentally into this level of incompetence, this is writing so bad it could only be made to fit a wildly specific plot point. It's just a whole new level of dumb.
Am I the only person who is curious about *why* she is trying to fry his brain? She could have killed him at any time. What is she after? Who does she work for?
He's too much of a good boy. He doesn't care who he works for, he just wants to do muh science. Thrawn only wants psycho Imperial loyalists. Also Disney writers are shit so we have to come up with explanations for them.
I think shes trying to erase the clone snoke/palpatine stuff from his head or something
Funny how they're going to try to explain Palpatine's "lol the dark side brought me back" explanation with Star Wars pseudoscience instead. The ST is so bad but they refuse to just scrap it.
Some of us still hope for a retcon.
A retcon will never happen, its clear they're trying to connect the sequel trilogy with every show their producing
They also tried to set up more ST content with the Battlefront 2 story DLC a couple years ago but the backlash seemed to have made them rethink it again. Lucasfilm has been pretty obviously walking on eggshells since TRoS and the failure of their Star Wars land at Disneyland. There are a lot of people who will never watch anything that confirms the ST.
And some of us still hope that George Lucas buys it back from Disney for pennies.
Literal who Ezra is the only one who can make it happen. If no retcon happens in this show then it's over.
>Am I the only person who is curious about *why* she is trying to fry his brain?
Probably. What's the point of asking such a question in the face of such a stupid scene? It could be anything, literally any reason, because the scene was written so poorly that nothing is off the table. She could be doing it because she wanted to test the machine. Would that make any sense? No, of course not, that makes no sense, but nothing about the scene made sense. None of it had any thought in it, so the follow up doesn't need to have any thought to it either.
When they write something that poorly, why waste your brain thinking with all the two brain cells the writers clearly don't have?
Explain what makes it "written poorly".
Reminder all nu wars is gay shit
>Hey there, lady this guy we just arrested for possible subterfuge keeps claiming is part of subterfuge!

You couldn't have written it worse. From a character standpoint, storytelling standpoint, just fucking exposition standpoint, you couldn't have done worse.
I'm honestly at a loss of how to intentionally do it worse, because this fits an over the top parody. Unprompted explaining how to kill someone with medical equipment and then leaving the room for no reason is like, something you'd see on one of the worst seasons of Family Guy as an intentional gag.
honestly just do time travel.
you're going to do it eventually, might as well get it over with.
they already did time travel in rebels show with ashoka
>invents time travel just to put his doughnut steel into more stuff
Literally the only time this gay has openly gone against Disney is when "Rise of Skywalker" had her voice as a dead Jedi. He got so butthurt he immediately went to Twitter to rant NO MY WAIFU ISN'T DEAD, even though she would've been over 80 years old at that point, and her race has the lifespan of humans.
at this point i earnestly miss the EU.
it was a given that Star Wars was "a brand" you could "licence", there was some great stuff (like the d6 role playing game and Dark Forces) but you also knew there were terrible Kevin J. Anderson novels starring K'vinn J'und'rson the Jedimost Jedi Who Ever Jedi'd.
difference is nobody ever treated the donotsteals as the TRUE Star Wars, as if the original films were great but simply a launchpad for the majesty that was the Thrawn Trilogy. now that's exactly how people talk about the 3D Clone Wars, or that stupid new Rogue One series ("it's not like the OTHER spin-offs...").
Reminder all nu wars is gay shit
go away bot
They do have to somewhat validate the ST in some way. If they split the timelines they will never be able to do a theatrical release again. Normalfags aren't keeping up with this shit. A lot of people were confused about Vader being in Rogue One because they thought he was dead. They definitely overestimated casual Star Wars fans and underestimated normal and hardcore fans.
honestly who is this even for? as A Product i get that they just want people to pay for Disney+ subscriptions, whatever.
but if you want to watch the Ahsoka series you have to:
be a Star Wars fan -> have seen the main films -> went on to watch the 3D animated film and series -> then watched The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett (?) -> have an interest in the exciting character, Ahsoka, and seeing her in live action
how the fuck is that more than a few thousand people, on planet Earth?
The first season was such an insane surprise hit in a time when the ST was about to become the first trilogy in history to go down one BILLION DOLLARS from the first movie to the last, after the disaster of a drop that was The Last Jedi at that, that they panicked. The show didn't just get people watching it, way more important was that it actually fucking moved merch. Actual star wars stuff was in hot demand, for once, in a time when even a CEO at hasbro was directly namedropping The Last Jedi as a reason people just out and stopped buying Star Wars merch and directly cited Baby Yoda as a major point of interest
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/21/business/frozen-star-wars-toys-hasbro/index.html
>. “However, the Mandalorian, the Baby Yoda, that’s generating a lot of interest and excitement. I know some the fans on the last episodic movie were very upset with the movie. There were people who really disliked that movie so much that they swore off all Star Wars ever again. I’ve heard that. … If Hasbro can get a product out for Baby Yoda, that will help.”
So, they greenlit stuff they thought people might buy, might want. Clone Wars had amazing ratings on television and the "Sixth season" was enough of a hit they immediately greenlit a spinoff for the clones, maybe do that? Boba Fett has always sold, do that. Gina was one of the few female characters people actually responded to in a time when Rey is rotting on the shelves, give her a show-nevermind wrong political alignment. Point is, they don't know who these shows are for, because they don't know who their audience is anymore. They wanted to get rid of the "Diehard nerds" with The Last Jedi and their comments about "Theories ruining star wars", and after the catastrophic and unheard of 732 million drop, they seemed to have succeeded. Now, they're just wondering... who's left, and how do we get their money?
>So, they greenlit stuff they thought people might buy, might want.
A lot of this stuff was inevitable and obvious, even if doing TV shows instead of movies isn't what they had in mind. In Hasbro's case the biggest issue is that kids just don't give a fuck about Star Wars as much as they did even 15 years ago. And I'm not sure that the sequels being good or even being prequel-tier toyetic shitfests would have changed that outcome much. TFA did very well for Hasbro, per Hasbro, but that was never going to be sustainable no matter how the trilogy turned out.
TPM infamously wasn't sustainable either, but the early 2000s were a very different time to be in the toy business.
I think toy sales are unironically a major reason for the random padding. Lego has been announcing new sets week-by-week based on each episode. They know mando sells toys but people are kinda over yeed, so they're just gonna spam le cool ships/robots/creatures/whatever in the hopes to make it onto kids birthday lists
Fun fact, Disney saw its star wars sales go up instead of drop for the very first time in 2020.
When they had next to no Rise of Skywalker stuff out. And had the market full of Mandalorian stuff. The Razorcrest sold at least 10 million, alone. And then they blew it up.
I'm still mad about that. The razorcrest was a very practical ship for a bounty hunter, and people liked it. But it had to go, because new ship means new toys. The N1 is so fucking stupid
The choice for the N1 is just member berries, there's no logical reason for a bounty hunter to get a ship with no area to store his stuff or bounties. They could've just made a new design and sold it as a toy
>the punishing one
We were robbed. I hate rememberberries so much. Filoni and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Even the prequels are filled with lots of needless memberberry wank. It's par for the course with Star Wars, not just Filoni.
I agree, I just think filoni is especially bad for it. Or maybe it's just his obsession with his OCs and stuffing them everywhere
I dunno, man. I'll take Mando getting a nifty little fighter jet over Chewbacca and Yoda knowing each other or Anakin building C-3PO and being space messiah.
Didn't they show the death star in the trailer? You have to be retarded to not know the movie takes place before a new hope
They did show the Death Star and people were still confused. I'm going off of my normalfags sister's experience watching it and she used to watch TCW more than I did and she was still confused. Disney really didn't know the SW audience at all when they bought it. There's a reason George focused on toys, games and comics. Way cheaper to produce and satisfy the core fanbase while anyone curious could pick up KotOR or Jedi Outcast and have a good time without needing all this lore.
You had quite a few people who thought Daenerys’ name in GOT, until the moment she died, was Khaleesi. Professional writers wrote a “running out of gas” plot into Star Wars as a major plot point and had a chase in outer space where ships can basically teleport. You are grossly overestimating people.
The show has sucked since midway through season 2.
“We don’t have any more exiting stories? Uhhhhh, let’s just shove in cameos from Bo Katan/Ahsoka/Boba Fett/R2-D2/Luke and even a Thrawn reference”.
Fucking uninspired, shitty, garbage show.
The Bo-Katan cameo kind of made sense as you know she is Mandalorian, tho the Ashoka, Luke or any other cameo not so mush.
Grogu needed to go to a Jedi since the early episodes and Luke is the only logical person to send him to. Kennedy fucked it all up by demanding him back. No one will ever care about adult Grogu with a lightsaber who can talk.
I mean the entire point of the show is "gotta get Grogu to his kind, the Jedi", arguably Luke is the only one who makes sense and isn't just a glorified cameo, him appearing is vital to the actual narrative of the show and only works as a finale.
Problem is they just kept going and apparently undid the entire fucking narrative in a spin off so now him being here makes no sense and we don't even know what we're supposed to be doing. I mean, he got redeemed now that he's been in the waters, right? So, is that it? Done? Go off and be a sheriff? Why not?
I mean if they're okay with him being a bounty hunter, surely they're alright with him taking a law enforcement position, right? He literally has no reason not to settle down right now.
Bounty Hunters are basically Law Enforcement
It's now about Bo-Katan converting to the Deathwatch, or Din learning how to rule Mandalore with his shiny stick. Or they redeem Mandalore.
>Bo Katan ends up being charismatic enough to get the cult on her side
>Din is cool with it since she is following their customs now
>the cult wants Bo to lead them but Din has the saber and won't/can't fight her
>hijinks ensue
They either get married or Bo Katan tries to kill Din again. Or none of that gets resolved at all and other side plots keep taking up the whole run time.
Realistically there’s no reason any of them should involve themselves again. Din should plow Bo Katan. Baby Yoda should hang out. Everyone should be cool. If they want to go retake Mandalore, I guess go do it. It should be an easy operation since it seems mostly abandoned by anything but some cave humanoids that fight with melee weapons and maybe a few fugitives or some shit? Plus there’s massive amounts of Beskar that they could easily melt a couple suits down and probably buy a fleet of ships with it. Or fuck it, just collect it all and suit some new recruits up. There’s no reason for any of them to involve themselves in anything else at this point unless Disney’s shitty writing dictates it.
This is the current issue, the only reason we're on episode 3 and he just resolved the water thing is, realistically, it should've been at most 1 episode. We had to cram in an entire subplot about IG88 that got dropped after a half hour of content and a completely unrelated giant robot thing just to pad out getting to a pool, complete with him, uh, slipping? I don't even know what happened in that forced scene just to get Bo to see the dinosaur. Even then they had to cram in an episode from a completely different, somehow worse written show just to pad out episode 3. So, now we're at the point where
>Din has everything he wants, he's all good
>Bo has spent the entire damn show saying not to bother with Mandalore, so her wanting to "Take it back" would be fucking weird, so she's right where she was back when she was fine, before.
>Baby Yoda said no to the Jedi, he doesn't have anything he wants either.
>Apollo Creed is ruling his little place just fine, can obviously handle himself.
>IG88 is back to being a paperweight because it turns out we didn't need him.
Everyone's story is over and this is after dragging our feet for a third of the season.
>TPM infamously wasn't sustainable either,
Yes and no, while they overdid it on merch for TPM, all of the Prequels did fucking gangbusters in merch. Even Clone Wars merch was selling insanely well in 2008. Like, number one kids toy, in 2008. Grievous has sold more toys than Rey ever will. GRIEVOUS.
The sequels being good absolutely would've changed it, but who would want any of the new toys, or any of the old characters who got fucked over?
>while they overdid it on merch for TPM, all of the Prequels did fucking gangbusters in merch.
Some of that was Star Wars in general, though. AOTC didn't even have its own dedicated toyline, which is insane to think about now. It was a general Star Wars line with a lot of OT stuff mixed in. That's how apprehensive they were after TPM backfired. ROTS got its own branding again, but the composition of the line still wasn't anything like TPM.
>AOTC didn't even have its own dedicated toyline, which is insane to think about now
Yes it did?

The very first Star Wars action figures from Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones were released by Hasbro during Spring 2002 in special sneak preview packaging. The four figures released were Bounty Hunter Zam Wesell, R3-T7, Jango Fett and a Clone Trooper. Hasbro's 3.75" toyline for Attack Of The Clones was launched on April 23rd, 2002 at midnight madness events at Toys'R'Us stores across the United States. Figures based on Attack Of The Clones have been released ever since.
An entire toyset of the Genosha battle was out the same time as the movie, even.
>Yes it did?
No it didn't. Not in the all-encompassing way other movies have had. What you posted is just a categorization by source material. The main line of the time was just "The Saga" series. It launched with a lot of AOTC stuff, as one would expect, but even in 2002 OT stuff was getting worked in, and its overall footprint was much smaller than TPM's. This was deliberate.
>Not in the all-encompassing way other movies have had.
It had a multitude of lines in exactly the same way, from Lego launches to the 3.75 previews to more of the vehicles than would ever have made it to film.
>. The main line of the time was just "The Saga" series
The second one posted is literally under the "Attack of the Clones, Geonosis Arena" Series.
>but even in 2002 OT stuff was getting worked in
Of all the 2002 line in the second link I can count, I can't find ANY OT stuff, there is at most 5 in the first link that I've seen.
>and its overall footprint was much smaller than TPM's
Maybe in ancillary merch, but to imply toys and other merch weren't also being sold with AOTC branding is just, well, plainly wrong, and I'm curious where you're getting this information. Everything I've found and remember point to it being a massive wave of merch that sold spectacularly, do you have a source that says it didn't do well?
>It had a multitude of lines in exactly the same way, from Lego launches to the 3.75 previews to more of the vehicles than would ever have made it to film.
But at least on Hasbro's end (can't speak for LEGO) it still wasn't like TPM, or even TFA in terms of branding specifically.
>The second one posted is literally under the "Attack of the Clones, Geonosis Arena" Series.
Again, that's the source material categorization. The toy line is listed below that under each figure.
>I can't find ANY OT stuff
https://galacticfigures.com/star-wars-figures.aspx?type=toyline&typeName=saga
>but to imply toys and other merch weren't also being sold with AOTC branding
Plenty of it was. Hasbro's main Star Wars line just didn't, unlike TPM and unlike ROTS.
>do you have a source that says it didn't do well?
Whether AOTC toys sold isn't the question. I'm sure they did, and it might've even influenced ROTS having dedicated branding for Hasbro again. The point is that Hasbro realized *ahead of AOTC* that they fucked up somewhat with TPM and were much more conservative. It wasn't just Hasbro, either; Lucasfilm Licensing themselves were less aggressive in general.
>Zam Wesell
Oh my god after like 20 years I finally know what one-off chamelon lady's name was
I was about to say, I remebered stores getting flooded with the Clones back when it was out, I went and got two of them and a Mace Windu immediately after I saw it in theaters because those were the only ones left.
This one also has dates on release and specific characters like Jango Fett, just to clarify it's not general star wars stuff or OT stuff. https://galacticfigures.com/star-wars-figures.aspx?type=appearance&typeName=aotc just Ctrl-F 2002 to see the full ones released for Genoshia arena, and you can see they were still getting new figures as late as 2013 because Prequel Toys just sold that motherfucking strong, over a literal decade. Prequels did a lot of things wrong, move merch wasn't one of them.
The whole plot of s1 and 2 was getting yeed to a jedi, and mandos whole arc was about moving away from the cult shit and learning to chill out a bit, take off his helmet, etc.
Its literally as if all of that was never a thing. I knew I wouldn't like mando s3 as much after andor but it really is astoundingly shit
The writers seem to be bipolar with the cult, cant tell if they want the audience to like them or dislike them
They seem to want you to dislike them but are also afraid of anyone disliking the forge lady or mando.
It's very bad. And now even Bo won't take off her helmet because she thinks the cult shit and Din are hot and cool. You could literally also end Bo's arc with her learning she's cool being a Mandalorian with the cult but like you said that goes against Din learning to let the cult shit go. It's so regressive for every character it's insane.
>Anakin beings balance to the force thanks to his son Luke
>Anakin's Padawan course corrects the timeline with Ezra's help to maintain balance
Fucking why no? Daisy, Adam, Oscar and John Boyega won't ever touch this shit again.
Honestly only s1 and the first episode of s2 were great and the rest was shit. I only watch because of baby Yeed because I love that lil bro like you wouldn't believe
After Boba I've not been able to bring myself to start the new season.
>only episode that doesn't mention "the mandalorian" in its summary
>7.3
Season is a Stinker so far. Disney Executives really fucked the writers with demanding Grogu back with him.
I don’t think even Thrawn will save it now.
>Yeah, I'm out. Fuck this show.
I was ok with hatewatching until I started getting ads for the show pandering to Disney Moms and I realized the joke is on me. They ruined Babu Frick or whatever his name was. The one character/race in nuWars that I liked
>BAD BABY NO SQUEEZE
>getting ads
normiefag
They're on the Twitter mobile app, dumb fuck. They use this scene.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TavJkp3VJHQ
Why would you get ads for watching a fucking tv show?
You pay for Disney+? So yes, you are a normie.
>Why would you get ads for watching a fucking tv show?
Retard, you don't target your ads towards people who already subscribe to your service. Do they not even bother running those kinds of ads in your impoverished home country? Are all your ads for soap?
Disney paid for mobile Twitter ads promoting their memebait "bad baby" scene. It's not complicated.
I don't get ads because I fucking download the episodes, retard.
>still doesn't understand how ads work
>thinks Twitter ads are like in-app "watch next" notifications
Cinemaphile being majority third-world ESLs is working out great
>using the twitter mobile app
>not realizing daddy Elon nuked every other decent Twitter app
I suppose next you're going to post
>using Twitter
as you continue to get btfo and move the goalposts again to get your smug energy back up.
You can just use twitter in your browser and have an adblocker, you simpleton.
>You could just not have Twitter on your phone
Retard, YOU are the one complaining about ads, not me. I'm pointing out the retarded Disney ad and you're acting like the point is not having ads when idgaf I'd rather have Twitter on my phone then not have it. It's not my fault that Elon killed every other app.
>>You could just not have Twitter on your phone
Nice strawman you fucking moron. You do realise there's browsers with ad blocks on your phone, right? Also, how am I complaining about ads? I'm not the one whinging about getting Disney ads pandering to mums
>realise
Oh..... you're another ESL retard. I got it
>whinging about getting Disney ads pandering to mums
oi roit wott eff ya nans me mum. mentol init?
It’s obvious Grogu wasn’t supposed to be in season 3 so far. He is just there, doing nothing plot significant at all. Getting to Bo Karan for help could also have been Cara Dune, IG-11 or the R5 droid even.
I expect at least one or two of the remaining episodes to be good, but this season did not deliver.
LoL people are so triggered by a quiet B story. I enjoyed it as it made the betrayal more disturbing as he was just wanting to do good.

Serious question is this biggest, fatest, thickest L disney has ever taken?
>this show has sucked since S1E3
>and the last episode was the worst
I honestly don't get people who whine they hate this or the boys or obiwan and intentionally spend hours on it. I wish I had countless hours to burn doing nothing like you basement dwellers.
We're just waiting to die deaths of despair. It's what our leaders want. Probably for the best.
The actual funniest thing is leftists seething about Din's cult not being portrayed as evil and problematic for their traditionalist religion.
Wow.
>Mandalorian is gonna be three years old soon
wtf
It's already three years, anon.
Four soon.
WAR WITH TIME
I am positive that no Cara Dune put off way more female viewers than they imagined. They came for “baby today”, stayed for Cara.
I mean, she did say the garden gnomes deserved the Holocaust or something. I mean, they had to fire her.
The way I see it is Disney ironically forgot that Star Wars is primarily for kids. Catering to millennials and up was the wrong move.
I love the way you see it, anon. You always see things the best way. What else do you see?
Your moms back 😉
You see everyone's back, though. Everyone runs away from you.
Aw man why you need to do that? Make me all depressed and shit
Star Wars was not originally aimed at children. Targeting them is what has resulted in where we are at now.
You need to read a little history anon, on how Lucas started his merchandising empire back in the late 70’s early 80’s.
George Lucas has said countless times for 40 years Star Wars was aimed for children.
>Star Wars was not originally aimed at children.

how the hell do you not get this
They released 2 absolute shit show with Boba and Kenobi.
Most people didn't watch Andor after that, even if it was actually the best star wars tv show ever made.
Mando S3 is just dealing with the aftermath too and since both episode 1 and 3 were terrible, why would you go back to this show?
It's another case of Disney fucking up every good thing they had.
for me it's accessing T*tter via Tor using my own Nitter instance

I cancelled Disney+ last year. If you're still subscribed at this point you're beyond fucking retarded
>subscribing to disney+ in the first place
If you had any dignity you wouldnt have consumed Disney products to begin with. Fuck off.
oh no really sad to see you go, literal nobody
Go back to reddiτ gay.
