Star Wars: The Mandalorian
 

That's a "meh" from me.

Guaranteed Boba Fett shows up and probably pops in from time to time.

Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandalorian:

How much your willing to bet. That this Mandalorian character will turn up to be a good guy in the end? You usually have these type of characters that appear to be fighting on the other side. But then at some point. they switch sides and join the rebels. So we can probably expect this character to join the resistance at some point when some sort of betrayal happens.

If you look at Star Wars Rebels. There was a character who originally started out as a villain working for the empire. Then something happened to him that caused him to join the rebellion.

Gina Carano (Deadpool) joins the cast: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...lorian-1160809

Of course he'll be a good guy. Or an "anti-hero." There's not a doubt in my mind.

Werner Herzog, Carl Weathers, and Giancarlo Esposito to the cast.

I'm conflicted, it looks awesome in many parts albeit unnecessary. On the other hand it's another OT rehash and a mandalorian who isn't boba fett in the same era as him yet the fan service still got me sort of excited.

I'm still thinking we will see a post-Sarlacc Boba Fett in this.

I saw that full scene that leaked months back and that was really, really intriguing.

I know old EU was pretty bad about how many times Boba got eaten by the same Sarlac, but has new EU been that bad?

Don't know, but it sounds like largely the new EU beyond the cartoons is pretty boring, probably because the writers are barely allowed to do anything.

This looks silly fun and better than anything we've seen from Rogue One to the sequel trilogy. It reminds me of something a SWs video game would come up with and I'm ok with this.

So now that everything is 100% canon yet ignored by everyone we now get a boring EU. Ironic.

The First Order's origins will be explored in this series

I'm thinking it will be nothing but a name drop here and there, unless the show goes for another four or five seasons. Like, when they run out of other ideas.

I think I'd love to be wrong, but I don't know. I guess the truth is, like many, I've always loved Boba for his armor. Now that the new guys has just as cool armor, I'm feeling both shallow and satisfied.

So it's out today. Anybody see it?

And is it ALL out, all episodes at once?

I will watch it when it’s *free.

I nabbed it off the Pirate Bay. Easy.

As for the show...yeah, I'd say it's decent. Just the one episode at the moment. Not that long either, about 38 minutes plus credits.
