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. |

Having been a Star Wars nerd since '77, I like it as well. The tech usage of the panorama screen behind the actors has greatly increased "immersiveness".
~on the politics side, I can't keep up with the news of Gina Carano is in/ not in/ in again.... I did like her character |

It is the best live action star wars in a long time, but "Grogu"?
PP is a super liberal prick and even he defended GC. We'll see how House of Fett looks |

He should not have taken his helmet off until the end. It would have been much more powerful.

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. |

Damn, I hope so. The last few decades have been pretty slim for us fans

SW fan since 1977 .
It looks good and has good visuals. The storyline is pretty pedestrian. The acting is nothing special. Its got Baby Yoda and I got to see Luke finally as he should be rather than the broken wreck in the SW sequels. I enjoy watching it. |
|
I like it although I think the plot lines are predictable and don’t bring much new to the table.
|
|
I've gotta say, I like the show in general, but It's Gina Carano that kept me coming back. Chunky women warriors do it for me.
|

Are they going to keep using a de-aged Hamill as Luke for season 3? Last I heard, Sebastian Stan was not going to be in the series at all.
|

I have a lot of free time at work. I've been watching Star Wars news videos on YouTube.
1. New movie trilogy. Keanu Reeves as a Sith Prince set in the Old Republic 2. TV show focusing on Luke Skywalker starting the new Jedi Temple. Mara Jade will be in it. Mace Windu is alive and will be in it as well. 2 more seasons of Mando which will then branch into these other other shows. 3. Asoka series with Hayden Christenison. And Thrawn! Mando season 2 was the best Star Wars since the originals. It's tough to be negative about where Star Wars is headed. We've made it through the darkness. |

Before PP was supporting rioting, looting, murder and child rapists I was interested in seeing the series... Since only a child molester would support a child rapist I'm getting the impression PP is a child molester and don't care to see anything with him in it. YMMV
Disney stars defending convicted pedophiles is not a good look |

Yes, it is, and this seen gets my misty eyed every time. That being said, I'm satisfied with how season 2 wrapped up and I don't feel the need to watch it further. I don't normally do the boycott thing, but I think that what they did to Gina was so egregiously fucked up, that I just can't continue giving Disney money. I'm sad that I'll miss out on the Obi Wan show as well. I do not fault people for continuing to watch, it's a personal choice, and in this case, I choose to protest with my dollars.

Quoted: They just renewed her contract last month. She is here until at least 2024. View Quote Doomcock has a theory about that. She has no power over Star Wars. Disney is paying her to save face and keep her mouth shut. She is working on rat fucking Indiana Jones 5. I'll gladly sacrifice Indiana to save Star Wars. |

The series was kinda meh. It had some moments but it is not The Expanse.
|
|
I want to see the episode where Luke wakes up and realizes the last three movies were just a bad dream.
|
|
Yes it is very solid. The only decent movie apart from the three main is Rogue One, FWIW

If you play it double speed, you'll hear that the voices are a snippet of the Imperial March. Darth Vader Hallway Fight Scene [4k UltraHD] - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story |

Damn shame I had to cancel my Disney subscription due to their politics.
I guess they can go fuck themselves. |

I read the first (new) book which goes back to The Clone Wars, documents Thrawns rise to Power in the Empire and relationship with Anakin/Vader. It was good but not great. The OG Thrawn novels from the 90s are still my favorites. I got my original hardcovers and they are a treasure of my collection. |

I loved it. I will rewatch it. You can't boycott everything in life...

Did you guys see that episode where his ship gets damaged, and he has to engage in a difficult side mission while on-planet, to get it repaired as he can continue on?

The visuals can be very good and the music is excellent. There are times though when I feel like it's in the Hercules/Xena category of shows.

It is. My decision to stop watching wasn’t just political, but dumping Gina was awful from a character stand point.

View Quote 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. |
