So, that thing Mando saw at the end...
It's one of these things, right?
Been waiting ages to find out what that thing is. I wasn't expecting them to go there with the plot but I'm super excited to see how it plays out.
These new series have really been expanding and filling out the SW universe in a fantastical way. Giant beasts, Jedi academy, Mon Mothma, Coruscant politics fuckery, the first seeds of the rebellion, prisons that are essentially slave labor (and I'm assuming they were building parts for the Death Star), hyper space whales, fleshing out the Tusken Raiders with a Boba Fett story arc tie-in, hinting at more Ahsoka plot, etc. SW has been on a good run lately.
I would really love a super dark Vader series with Hayden Christensen in the suit again. Show all the destruction and carnage he wreaked across the galaxy, but also have themes of his internal struggle and how his destructiveness is mirroring what's going on inside his head. Perhaps he is still searching for a way to bring Padme back to life. Maybe even show how Vader and the Emperor didn't always see eye to eye, which could make Vader's ultimate betrayal of the Emperor make even more sense. But mostly, let's just see Vader being one of the most bad ass force users in the entire franchise. A full 8 episodes of him showing what the dark side is fully capable of would be so much fun to watch.
Before Andor I would have said the same. That show isn't really geared toward kids as much as the others. Plus, they could make a Vader series and keep it PG-13. I'm not talking about blood and guts here.
It still has to lead to The Last Jedi so don't get your hopes up Grogu will make some huge difference.
Yeah that was a missed opportunity to show something cool, instead they just went with generic ruined buildings that could have been anywhere.
Wait, you thought Din was the protagonist of The Mandalorian? No no no no, Paco Raban is.
I always figured Grogu is his age but level of maturity because of the rate his species ages, not due to PTSD. Also, that character is the golden goose, particularly because of his cuteness, so there’s a good chance they don’t mess with that formula anytime soon.
Lol I did think Morlocks too but Lotr has a stronger flex.
It needs a Brie Larson type of activist actress in it.
Ya perfect example.
Cowboy Bebop made up for that with tons and tons of Style. From the jazz, to the cool background scenes, amazing animations, interesting universe/world that unraveled more and more each episode, and charismatic characters who could carry a show on their own if needed. There was always something interesting, up beat, off beat, or exciting when it came to Cowboy Bebop. The show also knew exactly when to bring back the seriousness too.
I stopped a bit after that congress speech. I don't remember that female character. And I dunno why, but everyone looked fake like they are CGI.
She was one of Moff Gideon's officers in the first season. She was shown for like 5 minutes so it's understandable why no one remembers her.
I don't mind a slow build up. I loved Andor. But after 2.25 episodes my gut tells me this is going no where.
There's nothing particularly wrong with it. It's just missing a bit more. If I could try and pinpoint the problem, it's partly with the way things are shot. Let's take this opening scene of Blade Runner 2049:
Follow your gut, check out another show for now, and come back to the thread every now and then to see if things improved a month from now.
same also episode 2 what was with the dozens shots of people walking from the ship to the cave... its like they didnt have another set built
I think if done right, this longer form of storytelling can open up the show to wider audiences who want a great show period, instead of a good Star Wars show. Both are good things, but the former leads to a larger renown years from now.
