Well, The Mandalorian started and it looks promising. It's got a cinematic feel and it looks like we're seeing a little Jim Henson Co. work here and there, which is fun.
The casting is great and the overall tone is light, but still on point for what we're dealing with.
I don't like the new Star Wars films -- and it's impossible to make a solid judgement based on 38 minutes of a series, but I'm hoping they can really craft these series into something new and special, and not the same, recycled crap that the movies have been so far.
Also, Life Day.
Kinda disappointed that he hasn't had a musical number yet, let alone actually show us the Mandolin. Must be saving it for the end.
But in all seriousness, if the Clone Wars is your Star Wars, this id very much cut from that cloth, and it being civilian focused adds an odd wrinkle to a setting that mostly takes place at wartime. And it definitely has enough alien humans slumming it in the desert to feel like a Star Wars.
the only thing I really want from Star Wars is for it to have a Western feel. So much of the Mandalorian is a spaghetti western — which is perfect for me.
A lot of great connections with the OT. Overall, all I want is a Darth Bane series. This is a great period in the overall timeline.
Ha...that Life Day song reminds me of this Tim and Eric sketch.
haha — that's amazing! I wonder if Life Day is what they're parodying. The entire special was insane and filled with remarkably similar moments.
