Jon Watts, The Daniels , Lowery so far for this show then?These Star Wars shows in general have some good directors.

> The prequels are at least an attempt at something different.

Did they? The Phantom Menace is about a boy from the desert who leaves home with a wizard, falls in with a group of people rebelling against an oppressive enemy, flies a starfighter with no experience, and then blows up a giant orb in space which saves the day.

yes, the dialogue alone is tops; on another kind of show like, say, Law and Order, it would sound pretentious but on a show where everyone is obviously very smart but also borderline psychotic it sounds appropriate

Yea I know..... just pointing out he was annoying there too.

The series has taken a huge dip in quality, and any perceived flaws or/quibbles some might have with the previous seasons can’t be ignored or forgiven anymore.

In the latest episode I had to laugh at the plan to run into the open flat land when the pirates bombard the city. We’ve already established there are tunnels and a sewer system under the city. They couldn’t hole up there?

That example is just a minor one with the laziness this episode, and this season, have shown us.

I don’t see that much of a difference, some say it's lacking direction and purpose, but where were those in s1 and 2, exactly?

The scene with the kid mando fighting a literal baby with a paintball gun was some of the funniest shit I’ve seen. It felt like a joke and looked absolutely terrible, especially with the Mando encouraging him hahahaha

The prequels are at least an attempt at something different. They are ok, not as great as 4,5,6 but after the Disney stuff, it was at least an attempt to do more with the story. Disney has been real bad imo

> Grogu has no real role anymore, and his presence is becoming sort of weird

That's why I think that he truly was written out and then was forced back in after some focus testing/producer meddling.

Did you not watch the Prequels? If you strip away Star Wars from those, they're The Room level terrible.

Star Wars being bad is the norm, not the exception.

He wasn't a lead on there, tbf

Good answer. Damn she was unlikable.

Morgan on TWD.

It sucks

I'm still enjoying it but it feels directionless. Seasons 1-2 had a heavy adventure of the week vibe but the entire thing was still held together by the overarching quest to find Grogu a home.

Ever since Mando returned him to Luke it seems like they had no idea what to do next and now it's just random things happening

Glad I'm not alone in thinking the plot is all over the place - feels very disjointed with very minor threads holding everything together. Am sure it's building up to something... just hope they get to it sooner rather than later.

I like you. Most accurate description of Star Wars post Lucas

oh please, don't keep us guessing

Hated season 3's premiere. But I personally enjoyed yesterday's episode. I think the Mandalorian story line is decent, especially some of the character development.

I hate the Grogu stuff and think it's just fan service. Even last week's episode had a flashback with a cameo that was clearly meant for fans. Took me out of it tbh.

I also didn't really enjoy the little back door subplot thing going on with the new republic on coruscant. I think they're just trying to save money by decreasing how much Pedro Pascal is in it.

JFC-first it's a fictional show. Two-no it's not the worst, because according to those who say things like that-there's Chicago PD, COPS. The Rookie, etc etc. They're ALL frickin' fictional. We have documentaries, and well real life if we want reality. I mean there's all those who complain endlessly when these shows do show reality, because they watch them to "get away" from our crap reality. Just because our real life is not exactly paradise....why isn't anyone making the same idiot distinctions with the med shows, or lawyer shows, or space fantasy shows???? People spend more time on this, then what needs to be done in our healthcare, especially when it comes to people shooting up schools.

While a lot of those threads were positive, they still largely pointed out the flaws. You're doing exactly what you're accusing the fan base of doing.

I think it’s going fine. Why the hell we gotta take sides on this? Like it or don’t but there’s nothing to prove here except you wanna gatekeep Star Wars.

You don’t win anything by convincing people to join your side. Let people have their own opinions.

Honestly worth watching just for O’Dowd himself. He’s so incredibly charismatic. One of the best actors to come out of Ireland in recent years. Great bloke too.
