The Mandalorian discussion thread

I know, and it's getting old.

I'm pretty sure I said it before and I'll say it again, Filoni is basically making live-action cartoons with all his D+ endeavors. Not that I didn't enjoy Clone Wars and Rebels for what they were, I'm saying I expected more with these live-action D+ shows.

Very surprising to see Christopher Lloyd (Doc really got old!), but in a good way. I was less enthusiastic about the appearance of Jack Black who I largely can't stand. I was expecting some kind revelation/come-uppance at the end when Lloyd's character said, "nothing's been the same since he came," but nothing came of that. Thought perhaps he'd reveal a plot to placate the locals since he'd earlier said no one does any work and would be lost without the droids.
I enjoed this episode a TON!
The fight between Bo and Axe was well choreographed, filmed, and super cool, but a little too short for me!
The Darksabre passed to Bo Katan pretty much the way I expected it to, but thought it would be through fights upcoming rather than the rescue on Mandalore, but it made perfect sense. When they showed the recap at the beginning mentioning Goff stating how it must be earned, then showed her rescuing him for the computer-spider creature, I wondered if they going there as the pass off. Sure enough, that was it.
DJ1BigTymer may not like the Clone Wars references/characters. but I'm enjoying them immensely. I dug the entire "mystery droid hunting" sequence including seeing all the live battle droids of various kinds.
I'm also fine about how the plot is moving little by little towards the climax of Mandalore and what antagonists will be trying to stop them reclaiming their world. I don't want zap-bang, it's over. I want to enjoy the journey. Now, I don't want them to turn it into Iron Fist, season 1 where I'm yelling at the writers to get on with it, of course, but so far, I don't feel that way at all.
