The Mandalorian discussion thread
The 2 biggest problems facing the announced new SW trilogy are The Mandalorian and Andor, possibly 3 problems if Ahsoka hits like Mando and Andor, especially if they bring back the main cast from the last trilogy. Character to character, there isn't a single character from the last 3 movies that is more interesting than any character in Mandalorian or Andor. The one character that could've possibly been interesting in the last trilogy was Phasma, and they squandered her.
Obviously the actor influences the character, and actor to actor, it's no contest either IMO. Direction probably plays a part too.
I have not felt an "oh, sheet!" moment in a long time watching any movie, much less a TV show, until Moff Gideon put on that helmet.
The last 3 episodes of season 3 had a runtime of 117 minutes. They could've released them together as a movie, and that movie would've been better than any Star Wars film since TESB. Heck, it would've been better than a lot of action films.
