Or, you know, you can just wait 6 months, just like you can wait 6 months if you dont want to see Rise of Skywalker in theaters and wait for video.

Seriously, what happened to simple patience?
People got fed up of being patient when they realised they could watch a thing the day after other people instead of waiting 6 months (or seven years as it used to take a movie to reach TV screens) and having to suffer through either spoilers or maintaining spoiler avoidance disciple for six months. Which in the case of The Mandalorian, is going to be about four months longer than it takes for the entire series if it drops at an episode a week.
 
Solid start. It didn't blow me away but for a TV adaption of the star wars universe, I enjoyed it. Great action scenes, some cool exposition, some nods to the wider universe (what with Mandalorian Iron being a focus).

Carbon Freezing - now available in portable mode! Just 20,000 Empire Credits!

EDIT - IG-11 was great, I love Taika. I hope he is in other episodes.
 
Yes, there are two highlights to the episode and how IG-11 moves around is one of them.
 
Is this intended to be an ongoing proposition, or just a single series?

How many episdoes will this season be, that I, of course, will absolutely be waiting until March to watch

It was titled “season one, episode one”. I assume if it is watched and it looks like it is, there will be multiple seasons.

Episode #2 is dropping on Friday.

I’ve seen people losing their minds in the US because they’re having to wait week to week for episodes (and not necessarily people younger than me).

Are they doing a binge release? That seems to be popular these days for some reason
 
They are drip feeding the show a la HBO - one episode a week, every friday (including this friday). I think they might skip a week for the film release of Rise of Skywalker. 8 episodes total.
 
I'm wondering (theoretically since Im being patient of course) if this is going to be star wars version of Lone Wolf and Cub given what (apparently) happens in the end.

I did not say this, I am not here, I see plans within plans
 
I don't think that's what's going to happen.

I'm not going to divulge spoilers because a lot of people here haven't seen the episode yet.
 
Personally, I'm more excited for the Obi-Wan series, but that's only going to be eight episodes from what I understand.
 
When is Disney Plus streaming some new SW porn?

:hehe:

I think that is the smarter model, even if it frustrates some viewers. Week-to-week discussion and speculation on the Internet provides a lot of free promotion spread over a few months. While Netflix occasionally gets a show like Stranger Things that sets the Internet on fire, the annual discussion of it comes and goes a lot faster than what HBO got out of Game of Thrones every year.

Not everyone binges a whole show in one Saturday, so online discussion is stifled by having people who have watched different amounts of the show. I rarely have time on weekends to sit down and watch a whole series in one sitting, so by the time I get done with a Netflix show, the world has usually moved on.

From a creative standpoint, I think the Netflix model encourages sloppy episode structure. I'm more likely to revisit a show if it has strong individual episodes that I can go back and watch without committing to watching the entire thing again. Some Netflix shows feel like 8-hour movies, and I can't recall what happened in which episode.
 
Episode two was better than the first. The quality of this series is actually getting me even more excited for the Kenobi stuff coming later.
 
For the last few years, we have had a Star Wars marathon on a suitable weekend near his birthday (May the forth). I hope The Mandaloraian will be available in Sweden by then, as I would much prefer to do a Madalorian marathon, than one including Episode VIII (Ep VII - IX is ... kind of ... an option).
 
The Mandalorian episodes go by quick. They are about 40 minutes each and are over before you know it because they are good.
 
So between Mando, Fallen Order and re-watching the prequel trilogy... god, you really need some super SW nerds to even just slightly tap into the essence of what made the Original trilogy great to make your thing good. Mando is subtle, and FO captures a lot of the magic in it's soundtrack. The prequels are as godawful as I remember, and the more modern memery around them doesn't salvage them for what they are - terribly written, terribly directed and in some cases, terribly acted.
 
They feel like live action episodes in the style of that guy that did Samurai Jack and the Clones Wars cartoon

...apparently

The guy that did the CGI Clone Wars cartoon, Dave Filoni, not the guy that did the Clone Wars mini-cartoons, Genndy Tartakovski.

I loved the Tartakovski Clone Wars cartoons. And they were the ones that tied directly o to the beginning of Eposode 3.

Shame they got quietly ignored.

I guess they got overshadowed by the animated series, but I'm not sure they were ignored.

They are however very good
 
Driver is one of the best American actors of his generation as is Oscar Isaac. Having them in SW is almost like having Pacino and Redford in the original trilogy.
Or you know, Harrison Ford in one trilogy d Ewan Macgregor in another.

I love Ford but before SW his biggest roles were bit parts in The Conversation and American Grafitti. SW made him a star but while he is underrated I don't think most would rate him one of the best actors of his generation. Ditto for MacGregor, he was a respected actor but hardly considered one of the greats.

Agree and it makes it even more of a sin how brutally underused they've been.

I agree for Isaac and to a degree for Driver. They certainly haven’t been used they way they could have been with their range but I think that is part the original films and to a degree part of the genre (or big budget takes in the genre) as well.

I’d also say that Bale and Caine’s range as actors were underused in the Dark Knight films, unlike Oldman and of course Ledger.

Even in the Avengers films most the actors were working off screen charisma and charm for most of the films, only really getting to act act in the extended epilogue of Endgame. Again Brolin was given more to do than the heroes.
