Chapter 2 is pretty awesome. Wayyyy better than Ch 1

Wait a minute....i realize the intitial problem with predicting a hot toy in '77 when...Lucas himself didn't even know how successful the movie was gonna be but out of his own mouth he said the TOYS are where the money is...SO, from 1983 ROTJ til 1999 TPM there wasn't a Star Wars movie and with Lucas involved there were plenty of toys for kids dealing with those movies...fast forward to 2015 TFA, the last movie before that was 2005 ROTS...10 years!!! They had 10yrs (obviously Lucas sold to Disney, still having plenty of time) and 32 YEARS since the original cast was in a Star Wars movie and they didn't have enough time to prepare or predict that the toys would be a big draw?....i'm not buying that excuse.

With the preparation of the first live action Star Wars TV show in HISTORY (Mandalorian) they didn't know it would be huge? not buying it
(Still no Mudhorn figure lol...i'm gonna beat this drum til it breaks..lol, my kid really wants one**his favorite episode and it's his insignia for crying out loud)

With the success and popularity of the Mandalorian they didn't think to make a lot of toys for TBOB?(i realize that plot reveals through toys is an issue)

Seriously, you're watching it on a projector? or are you trying to say i'm really old school?lol...you'd be right.haha

I tried getting my son into those Pumped up action figures of the mid 90s he had Vaders Tie Fighter Slave 1 a slew of OG figures his nan took him to Eurodisney where he got a few Droids figures too but even the prequel characters never really hooked him back then..not sure why as he watched my vhs then DVDs later on. The promise of GL making a TV show was in the air for many a year..

Yeah I run most to All my content through my Nvidia Shield hardwired to my Epson 4K Projection unit.
I am lucky to have a 4 meter Wall in our living room so can Throw a pretty Big arse image in 4K or upscale if lower quality with if avaliable Dolby Atmosphere sound..

All we need is an usher for drinks and popcorn to get that cinema vibe but the wife says Thats what she's got me for lol

 

[Halliwax]

What an episode!!!

 

[Mottrex]

No way, that dent is classic Boba fett

I agree...
Maybe we will get to see how he gets it..

As long as its not from a Can of Beans falling off a High shelf in Mos Espa lol..

 

[janglesworthy]

every time that tusken kid runs across the screen all I can think about is...remember when Anakin.....

I'm not going to talk about the amour at all. It is what it is.

Loved the new episode. It looks like we are going to learn what happened to Boba from the time he came out of the pit up through when we first saw him in Mando and could take up a good portion of this season.

 

[Prop Collector]

These shows really demonstrate what a missed opportunity the new films were. I understand why they played it safe, but they didn't even do a good job with that. Maybe it's for the best since it forced Disney to give the franchise over to more capable producers/directors.

Chapter 2 was much better all around. Acting, cinematography, even believability. There’s a few things I disliked but they’re more related to minor behavioral actions.. why oh why does he keep taking the helmet off.. especially in public immediately after the *big scene* in this episode... Least we know where all the budget for episode I went now loll
I still don’t understand their desire to reframe the Tuskens in a new light as misunderstood people but it was at least better handled this episode. Think they’re setting him up to be ‘Mandalor of Tatooine’ or something
The music sounds like a bastardization between Beowulf and Farscapes soundtracks, but it weirdly works at times

Spoiler: Throw that armor in the closet

Samurai Boba Confirmed

Making the Tuskens into fully fleshed out characters has been one of my favorite parts of the show so far

 

[Usagi Pilgrim]

Really liked both episodes, but I think you have to go in understanding that these stories are going to be very familiar to anyone who's seen films over the last 30-40 years. That's a beautiful thing to me, because it's continues the original idea of bringing myths & stories that have been told for centuries to a new audience by reframing it in a space fantasy setting.

This episode to me was Seven Samurai, Dances With Wolves, Last Samurai, & Star Wars, all mishmashed together to tell a very familiar story, & as I said after episode 1, I'm here for it.

 

[harrisonp]

I’m a sucker for the setting, so I enjoying seeing a lot of ideas I wouldn’t normally watch in a movie but will in this setting.

Completely agree.

I called every beat of AVATAR with almost an eye roll, & I did the same thing this morning, but with a grin.

Also, I'm watching these with my grandson, so it's REALLY HARD to be cynical when he scoots closer & looks up with wide eyes, a big smile, & a point at the TV.


Matter of fact, here's my new policy for discussing any STAR WARS related content with anyone-

Them:"I found it to be unrealistic, with lazy writing, poor effects, stilted acting, boring settings, & a dirivitive plot. Plus, it interferes with my 30+ years of expectations."

Me:"Did you watch it with a child?"

Them:"No."

Me:"Then shut up. You've already missed the point."

LOL

 

[HMSwolfe]

Much better than last week’s. I really like everything they’ve done with the Tuskens in both shows so far, and I think based on that alone totally justifies “returning” to Tatooine.

 

[CopperRevan]

Wow!!! I absolutely loved it!!!! Magnificent episode!

 

[harrisonp]

I actually got goosebumps at multiple points in the episode, especially the last scene.

Agreed...and Indiana Jones...and Back to the Future...superb!!

One scene really choked me up...lol

LOL

Yes!!! right after it ended my son was jumping for joy, ran in, got his Boba Fett figure and added a certain "weapon" in his hand...lol...he's still playing. All i saw was the magic in his eye's that we experienced as kids watching the OT. That episode brought it back and i experienced a great flashback myself

 

[Elevader]

Great episode. I’m really impressed by how they ride the line of it feeling fresh yet familiar. I think it’s because Jon and Dave like using the influences that inspired Star Wars, so the western/samurai feel really works without feeling like they are copying anything from a previous movie.
