She's a B movie action star like Steve Austin. She can act enough to snarl "you'll never (something or other) (villian)"

I watched part of some action movie made in Canada she was in. She mostly fought, ran and drove cars in action scenes. Her occasional dialogue was okay as she seems like a nice enough gal. She jumps right into action scenes and runs around and hits people like she means business.

She needs to cut back on the chicken wings, chocolate milk and hit the gym. She just was in some western. I hope she's in more movies. I'd like to see her succeed.

I totally agree. She's a hard worker, no doubt. Some acting classes and some time back in the gym would serve her well. I watched one of her movies recently where she's trying to track down her missing husband in an exotic vacation place, and she actually didn't do too badly. You're right, she's in line with someone like Steve Austin.

I wouldn't call it amazing, but I did enjoy it enough to watch both seasons.

How could they make it better, at least IMO?

1. Lose Pedro the Commie, a stunt man can wear the helmet and a voice actor can do the lines. Find a plot reason he goes back to never taking the helmet off.
2. As much as I like Carano IRL, she brought nothing to the show that any chubby actress couldn't do better. Either give the woman acting and voice lessons or hire a real actress. Love you babe, but you couldn't act your way out of a wet paper bag.
3. Lose Sackhoff, she's just going to be Starbuck again. Lose the other actress that plays Starbuck's partner, she's not at all convincing in a tough girl role. Fett would have handed her ass to her in 3 seconds flat and we all knew it.
4. Tell the entire crew that supporting commies and criminals in public will cost them their jobs. Put it in their contracts. Make an example if necessary.

They sure hit a licensing/merchandising goldmine with baby Yoda though didn't they?  Damn.

In my house we have:

None of this is true.

Rumors of Gina coming back are just rumors.

Jon, Dave and George are only running what they are allowed to.

Star Wars is dead until they can Kennedy and erase the entire Disney Trilogy. It doesnt matter how good ANY Star Wars content is, it all ends up in the burning dumpster of the Sequels.

The visuals and soundtrack are stunning, and the CGI is pretty much unrecognizable.

The series shows a ton of landscape shots and huge vistas and they look amazing.

And, not to stir the pot too much for the leg jumpers who love Gina Carano, yes Disney got rid of her because of her beep bop bop or whatever post she made, but she is a terrible actress.

Semi pleasant to look at, but the staged fights are silly looking and her acting is atrocious.

I have spoken.

Mandalorian and Rogue One are the closest look and feel to the original SW series.

Mandalorian was great in featuring huge expansive backstories on a lot of SW creatures and locations that were never really explored in depth e.g. the Tuskens

Never knew John Favreau was a SW nerd so hard, but from here on out they can just hand the franchise to him. The guy develops fucking great storylines

And I would let thicc Gina manhandle me any time

Agreed. I've never been as excited and emotional about Star Wars as I was the last 10 minutes of the season 2 finale. I was laughing, I was cheering, I was yelling, I was crying. Those are the moments that are so very few and far between in entertainment that are extremely difficult to pull off and very precious. THAT'S what the movies should have been. That's what we deserved.

Just make a Kyle Katarn series so you can make a jedi who isn't an asexual monk nerd.

Send me a royalty check after it makes a few hundred million, thanks Disney.

But for the chief complaint about the Mandalorian, I don't see formulaic as bad. It's exactly what I want. It's essentially monster of the week.

No the Mandalorian will continue on it's own.  The Boba Fett is a spin off show.  Holding back the next season of Mando to get Boba going.
