Quoted: I 100% agree with OP - I love me some Gina Carano (she looks VERY much like my ex girlfriend), and I could watch her all day on mute, but she's a horrible actress. View Quote 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. |

The unreal engine and lcd panels are a huge upgrade from green screen. Really neat technology.

Quoted: Gina has been rehired Kathleen Kennedy has been side lined, her Star Wars shows canceled, and is on the way out. John, Dave, and George are running everything Star Wars. The next few years will be the golden age of Star Wars. View Quote I hope you are right. After reading your post I went to Google. There was nothing concrete. Half the articles said NFW, the other half talked about a "rumored" appearance. |

Quoted: I enjoy it and look forward to the next season. Also: https://preview.redd.it/agma22sgi6861.jpg?auto=webp&s=55165832392d343cc0e80303c20ad24ad5d36934 View Quote I know Batman and Mando. Who's the third one? |

The next few years will be the golden age of Star Wars. View Quote Kathleen Kennedy’s contract was renewed to 2024. She’s in it for the long haul and will be credited in every episode going forward. ETA: but the rumor of Gina returning seems to be true. |

View Quote That is the most important scene in Star Wars lore since the end of Return of the Jedi. |

Meh, it’s a fun series made for 12 year olds.
Amazing? I don’t agree. It’s very formulaic and lacks a lot of substance. There have been some great episodes and some very meh episodes. |

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. |

I loved it, but they stepped on their dick with gina carano. They put politics in front of the story. And now that the douche sniffing lead pablo ass sniffer came out against rittenhouse, I can't watch it without getting pissed so it's not fun.
I cancelled my disney account a few months ago over it. |

Quoted: Quoted: Gina has been rehired Kathleen Kennedy has been side lined, her Star Wars shows canceled, and is on the way out. John, Dave, and George are running everything Star Wars. The next few years will be the golden age of Star Wars. Good to hear! Kennedy's contract has been extended. 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. |
|
Quoted: 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. View Quote I liked it. I quit watching it because they fired her. Doesn't matter how good it is their politics screwed it up. |

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 |

Too bad the nurse robot self destructed. And yes Miss Carano is easy on the eyes.

Star Wars died for me on May 19th 1999. Walking out of the midnight showing of The Phantom Menace my friend remarked quite loudly to the crowd waiting outside for the 3am show "THAT FUCKING SUCKED".
He was right. |
|
It is an excellent show.
The story itself is an uncomplicated heroes journey. The world building is excellent. The visuals engrossing. |
|
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. |

I won’t watch it unless Gina is back. Pedro Pascal is a nasty leftist who needs to be cancelled, if anyone does.
