Mandalorian Season 3

[scooternick]

Looks pretty good, Salacious Crumb

 

[MrGudz]

There is something that I find so right about the Mando series. Really enjoyed tonight's episode. Nice to see an OT touch or two from Favroux - i.e Salacious Crumb.

The pirate boss was a bit naff, pirates of the Caribbean sprung to mind, as was half expecting Johnny Depp to pop up.

I felt the same, it had a Pirates of the Caribbean feel to it, I kept looking for Keira to pop her head up (but alas not)

 

[Cyborg-Fett]

Trailer's arrived! Looks really awesome! Only a few weeks away...

It looks quite good but not sure, I haven't been able to view a single episode. And appears to have a bit too much CGI going by the trailer, cheezy visuals sort of thing.

 

[sith-smith]

Not a bad start, but hopefully it will pick up. Seemed like it was just introducing some storylines for the series

Yeah, I felt the same. Enjoyable, but quite a lot of exposition, which I guess is necessary. Some of the dialogue was a little clunky as well. Loved the pirates and their main ship was superb. I'm sure it will pick up.

My son said the same thing!

I agree with the above pretty much. I enjoyed the episode overall. Yes, it had to set up the new story and hence was perhaps a little slow to get going, but it still looks and feels like Star Wars to me, which is more than I can say about the rubbish canon-breaking 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series. That's the difference between a show where Kathleen Kennedy is largely kept at bay, compared to one where she gets to wield her fan-hating non-Midas touch. The sooner she flies off on her broomstick the better off we'll all be.

The only real gripes I had with the first episode was the rubbishy pirate captain that was clearly a feeble rip-off from Pirates of the Caribbean only done less well or believably, the mini-mechanics that were obvious puppets (I know Episode 9 featured one of them, but since I refuse to watch that non-canonical garbage, I haven't seen it), and the dreadful kiddy Mando helmets at the start, which were clearly shamelessly inserted to shift repainted and tweaked versions of these abominations with the gargantuan eye slit:

They probably didn`t put too much effort in for the helmets as the kids heads are still growing

 

[lejackal]

Possibly the worst episode to date imo

I would have liked to see her pop up, would have been something nice to look at….sorry possibly not very PC

 

[Pomse2001]

Finally, last night I saw the episode from this week. I think it was really great

 

[Blackbeard]

It was a great episode imo.
Can't wait for more...but I do notice I really miss Andor.

Andor is definitely a great show, despite its poor viewing figures. Hopefully the second season will continue the good work started in the first and attract the larger audience the show deserves.

 

[theforceuk]

I agree with @lejackal by far the worst episode to date. Hoping it picks up, Mando was good but the entire episode just seemed un cohesive and to many scenes reminded me of Star Trek. I don't no what to think really.

 

[lejackal]

Maybe I need a rewatch but this wasn't Andor slow and deliberate, this was slow and painful, bad writing and crap acting with naff effects and worse creatures.

 

[theforceuk]

No way I'm rewatching that episode, agree with you Carl on all your points which is annoying! Majority seem to like it though so can't be that bad, onwards and upwards. Hopefully.

Adam, I'll only worry if we start agreeing on the footy

 

[theforceuk]

@lejackal agree on footfall? I'm rolling around on the floor laughing.

This one's going in my To Watch ASAP list

Should have been Crimson Jack from the Star Wars Weekly Comics, rather than a pound store Swamp Thing.
Would've been a nice callback.

I`ve a feeling we are going to see more of him throughout the episodes

If I remember correct Crimson Jack died in the comics before the esb. and mandalorian is after rotj. So I don't think they could use him for the series

Yeah, I seem to remember he was killed off in the comics, but there's some bollocks on Wookiepedia about him being on the Galactic Starcruiser during the Sequel Trilogy era .

Who knows? Another case of Disney using a legacy character, to justify the existence of their godawful hotel/bunker.

Yes maybe disney bring him back alive

'Pound store Swamp Thing'....

 

[Hod10]

I thought the first episode was ok. Nothing too special but hoping it will get better. Nice to see it was full of aliens unlike Andor.

 

[Pomse2001]

'Pound store Swamp Thing'....

I think there was some pirates of the caribian with that pirate

 

[Palifan]

Well it finally arrived and I must admit, after eagerly awaiting this series to return, I did find it a bit of a mid season episode (at best). I wouldn't say it was the worst episode (hello Ep 4 Season 1 with the Samurai Seven/70's Incredible Hulk/A-Team/Kung-Fu......any series from the late 70's,early 80's storyline!), but even with it's big monster attack sequence, it all felt a little too familiar.

I won't go into the details, and did enjoy it, but let's see where this all goes. I'm sure it will pick up some weeks and drop off some of the others, but it's still all SW and I'm sure will have some great surprises along the way, so I'll be there until the end.
