OK, I have to break down and get the Disney trial. This series is getting way too much favorable buzz - I guess access to the full Star Wars library is worth it.
@stolicat I’m someone who hates what Star Wars has done to itself and I almost like the Mandalorian. If it just had the guts to not have two catchphrases, a yoda knockoff, and a Tatooine in the first episode I’d have been excited.
That is, I agree and recommend the series.
Based on the first episode. Haven’t gotten around to episode two yet.
@blaineg@InnocuousFarmer@stolicat 7 Episodes “Chapters” in, and this is definitely my favorite of the franchise. A big part of it due to Pedro Pascal and his ability to create the character of Mando with no facial expressions, very few words, and no big emotional outbursts. Some favorite scenes: Returning to his ship after the Jawa raid, and reacting with a long look and a little exasperated sigh. Watching the Jawas with the Egg. Taking the knob off his control panel to let Baby play with it.
So much baby Yoda. He is adorable

@InnocuousFarmer @stolicat 5 episodes in, and it’s some of the best Star Wars ever!
Yes, there’s a lot of in jokes for rabid fans, but the show would be perfectly enjoyable if it were your introduction to Star Wars.
And the end credits concept art is amazing.

and of course… “I gotta get one of those” (re the jetpacks)
So many “Stormtroopers can’t shoot” gags!
