Rogue One was a standout for sure. And Solo had its moments, though it's divisive. As for the main movies, they've been hit or miss for me too.
But The Mandalorian is where it's at! I've been loving it. The teaser got me hyped, and I can't wait for that trailer drop on the 23rd.


This bot has C-3PO level AI.

Pretty sure C-3PO is more charismatic and less obviously artificial than that.

C-3PO is one of the worst characters in Star Wars, and that’s saying something. He didn’t want to help the princess. He didn’t want to get in the escape pod. He didn’t want to find Luke and just walked off and ditched R2…b**ching the entire time…and that’s just the first half hour. He sucks. Now ME, I like THIS GUY. I’m with matspettersson.

That's because he was modeled on one of the 2 peasant characters in Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress.

They DO NOT WANT to get involved but get involved anyway!

You might have appreciated him more if he would have had a red arm.

I would have appreciated him more if he had all his dialogue removed. He's a cool looking robot.

Since my Jedi faith was somehow restored thanks to the Mandalorian, a friend pointed out that "Star Wars Rebel" was a good catch up to explain some of the Mandalorian storyline choices. Same writer (Dave Filoni) who also directed Mando S01E01, S01E05 and S02E05.


And now Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as creative director of Lucasfilm... and David Filoni is taking over!

Doller store Boba Fett and a ripoff of Lone Wolf and Cub. At best season one is decent. Season 2 is mixed. after that it's pointless to watch.

Anything sequel era all roads lead to Jake Skywalker.

Book of Boba Fett was horrible. Luke teaching Grogu about attachments like a failed prequel Jedi.

Let's see how Filoni will deliver on the Mandalorian movie.

The teaser poster is very much reminiscent of oldskool Star Wars!
