Same. I had some pretty fanboyish moments in that 45 minutes of TV and ended with a big grin on my face. That was NOT my movie experience.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Considering how xenophobic and intolerant the Empire was always portrayed to be, I was surprised Thrawn was as high ranking as he was. I guess the point was it was a true testament to his tremendous tactical mind and leadership ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 That was extremely satisfying. Now that this season is over, I need to find something else to justify the 1 year sub I jumped into.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I hope they increase the budget for next season. I was sitting here thinking how the Witcher’s production looked higher quality than Mandalorian. Then looked it up and noticed Witcher had a budget of $15m/episode to Mandalorian’s $10m/episode.

He’s strike anything from canon if he wanted to do something else. He commissioned the 2D clone wars animated show, then struck if from canon before Episode III even came out. Then commissioned the 3D clone wars show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yeah, even the games and comics. He treated anything that wasn’t the movies and the last clone wars show to be akin to fan projects. though the bright side was Lucas never (to my knowledge) pulled copyright strike on people that made fan project works, like has happened to youtubers since Disney took over. He treated Star Wars like everyone was entitled to make it their own. Which is probably what has lead to so many hating the new canon. and why some honestly thought they could legally get control of Star Wars canon from Disney ... just because they’re fans.

Dave Filloni who is a producer in this show has been on record agreeing with George Lucas. I think it will be something they are chasing all series long, yet never attain. The lesson will be they’ve been all the family each other need the whole time. George Lucas has a habit of wanting to keep the wrong things a mystery. It's inconsequential to know the background of Yoda's species. The science behind the force? Yeah, that's the sort of thing better kept as a mystery.

What about Season 6? Lots of strong episodes there. The whole season is really there to bridge the gap between the Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith.

Bacon Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 For like 5 seconds, I totally thought the Mando that rescued Kid Mando was Boba Fett and that would have been amazing.

I wonder if the colors have those commandos belonging to an established clan. Knowing Filloni it could be a clan from legends now made canon. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show takes place after ROTJ, but I didn't even think about when the flashback took place. In my head it was all just after ROTJ but that wouldn't work at all.

The problem with every Star Wars movie since the original trilogy has been about how small the universe seems to be. Forget about six degrees of separation. All the major live action Star Wars have been about two degrees of separation from a Skywalker. I'll be equally as upset if we find out the child is like Yoda's nephew or some bullshit like that.
