Baby Yoda really has to stop

Certainly would have been more interesting than what we got, and would have felt more like fluent progression.
I still find it ridiculous that in TFA that some characters treat 30 years as though it was hundreds of years ago and don't seem to know much about recent history.
Par for the course, really, when the people of the Original Trilogy act as though the Jedi died out centuries ago when it hadn't even been two full decades.
Indeed. Obi-Wan was supposed to be a very elderly man in the OT which why he’s referred to as “an old fossil”, but with the prequels retconning his age turns out he’s only on his 50s. Not a spring chicken, but far from the ancient man he was implied to be in the OT.
Fair point.
Should BDH follow in her dad’s footsteps and direct a Star Wars movie? Hopefully better planned, lol. I would also like to see Jon Favreau direct a full Star Wars movie.
The shot where they take off and there’s the explosion I thought was great.
Interesting to see and find out about the empire/republic post Jedi though
Episode 2 I just like the action scenes especially the chase sequence, looked fantastic. Agree the plot was not pushed along a great deal.
Star Wars insta just posted a photo of them and he looks like a dead ringer.
Good spot I knew I had seem him before though it did not click. Just checked Imdb it is him Simon Kassianides.
I knew him from Agents of SHIELD.
Bond, Star Wars, and Marvel. Has any other actor touched all three enormous franchises?
EDIT: Mads Mikkelson: Casino Royale, Rogue One, Doctor Strange.
It's a good show but to link yoda to a bounty hunter is strange, don't you think ?
You don't think it's yoda ?
Funnily, I forgot of this scene. I’m really only watching this show at this point because my roommate wants to watch the show together. I honestly can’t understand the appeal beyond this being a pretty okay show.
I think I just have to accept that the only Star Wars that actually matters are the episode films. No spin-offs. No TV. Nothing else. I tried to get into CLONE WARS but aside from being quite boring I also have a very difficult time investing in the actual war because it isn’t actually a war, it’s just a farce controlled by Palpatine. Doesn’t help that those fighting in the war are disposable clones and droids, not actual people willingly putting their lives on the line like in the OT. Makes it feel very bloodless (especially in ROTS where there doesn’t seem to be any ravages of war even when battle is right above Coruscant).
IMO The Mandalorian is pretty great for a lot of the reasons the OT was great. It feels like it puts the fact they're in space in the background, and just focuses on the story (the main distinction between Star Wars and Star Trek IMO; Star Wars is not science fiction). Heavily inspired by spaghetti westerns in the same way Star Wars was heavily inspired by The Hidden Fortress. The smaller stakes really work in favour of The Mandalorian; all of these big things are going on around the story (the sometimes negative effects of the fall of the galactic empire), but you're able to focus down into a more intimate tale.
If you haven't seen Rogue One I'd recommend it, really settles you into the reality of the war from the perspective of rebels far less powerful than the Jedi.
I thought Solo was fun as hell and told a mature story, but it may not be for you.
Damn. Well, at least you have the original trilogy.
To be fair I don't think I ever re-watched Rogue One. Solo I've seen a few times. And if I'm honest, I do like The Mandalorian, but the main thing keeping me with it is the Boba Fett content.
1. The Empire Strikes Back

I think there is a good character dynamic between Mando and Baby Yoda, them both being orphans contributes a lot to Mando taking care of Baby Yoda I think.
My current ranking...
The Empire Strikes Back
New Hope
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
Attack of the Clones
The Phantom Menace
The Rise of Skywalker
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
I think Solo is not very good so would be below the Saga films. Rogue One I love so would be placed after ROTS.
Empire
Hope
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
Phantom Menace
Force Awakens
Rise of Skywalker
Last Jedi
Attack of the Clones
Hastily put together and it’s been a while since I’ve watched anything in my lower ranking so it’s subject to change. Hopefully not too many people are triggered by a prequel film topping an OT film. ;)
