The Mandalorian (TV series)

I love watching The Drinker videos!! And I agree with everything he said. This season I got an Ironman 2 vibe. So busy setting up spin offs/crossovers that the overall story suffered. Don't get me wrong, I like the Mandalorian... but it's not perfect!!
 
This made me giggle first this this morning...

I love what this show has done / is doing. Despite some god awful cheeseball acting / dialogue throughout the series, this finale was, in my opinion, one of the greatest episodes in television history.........ever. And it ranks right up there with the some of the top moments in Star Wars. Fan service, you bet, but I'm fine with it. I get just as much satisfaction in watching the 100s of reaction videos on YouTube to this finale that I did when I watched it. Seeing the genuine emotion in those fans, both young AND old, should speak volumes to Disney.

And as far as I'm concerned, post-ROTJ Star Wars starts with The Mandalorian. And that's canon in my head. Those disappointing sequels are erased from my memory.

That's the only shot I could see where it's like that. The wide shots they're normal.

There are two different R2s used; a practical one (three legs) and a CG one (transition from 3 to 2 and 2 legs). The practical one has the studs on the shoulders and the CG one doesn’t. No one in the R2 builder community has been able to figure out the purpose of the studs yet. Also, in true R2 fashion, the two versions have several other inconsistencies from one shot to the next.
 
About Chapter 15 with Gina, Ming-na and Bill.
It was a terrific episode, but the one thing that was irritating is they had two "snipers" in basically one hide - and both shooting from a standing position. Everything is wrong about that. It was bigtime cringe for the principal action sequence. Am I alone here?

I didn’t mind it too much because I wasn’t particularly interested in either character. As far as I was concerned they were keeping out of the way of the story. But I agree that tactically it’s a bad move, especially for trained soldiers and lifetime assassins.

When the majority of films get the basics of weapon handling/tactics completely wrong, I can forgive Star Wars characters
 
You can’t deny that, barring some extras in ANH that were probably some quickly thrown together costumes, the ethos has been consistent, regardless of a definitive statement by Lucas
 
I accept the limitations of de-aging, especially for a TV series. Just like Clone Wars Anakin didn't look exactly like Hayden Christensen, I can accept that Luke can look a little off here.
My bigger problem.was that Luke just took Grogu and left practically without a word. I'm sure talking to Bo-Katan, st least, would be interesting. She knew Luke's father, his master, and his father's apprentice. Plus, she and Din knew where to find that apprentice.
It's just a good thing Boba bugged out. That conversation would have been awkward.

I think that it was one of those things done for cinematic reasons and keeping the characters together. It's much like in any movie or show involving the military they're always much closer together than they really should be be they grunts on foot, tanks, or planes. This is done so that they can keep everything and everybody in frame at the same time. Just one of the many things that you just have to accept in film making for reasons of brevity, framing, or safety, no film or show is ever going to get things (anything) 100% right.
