CyricZ 03/01/23 7:43:18 AM #8:	It was okay. I'm worried that the quest for bathing in the Living Waters isn't enough to sustain the season, so they have to throw a bunch of crap in the way of getting there. Not the least of which is Din's insistence that he uses the most deader-than-dead droid in the galaxy to help him when a billion others would probably manage the same, unless he's keeping something from the rest of us of why he needs IG-11. The Shard Pirates walked right off the Flying Dutchman. Always a good time being able to raid the PotC wardrobe. Even Shard himself is just Davy Jones with a moss head instead of a tentacle head. That said I do like their flagship, yet I can't quite place what kind of dagger-shaped Star Destroyer it's built off of. I feel Mando is at its strongest when it's Din and Grogu going to new places for new adventures, but this episode was a bunch of old places, or to old characters wherever they currently are just to talk to them. Blast a big monster, shoot some lame bad guys, and then an okay space battle is kinda by the numbers. --- CyricZ He/him <cite>CyricZ posted [p:971879936] in The Mandal...

MrToothHasYou 03/01/23 1:24:22 PM #13:	I wasnt too impressed. What made the first season so special was its eagerness to dive into new and unknown territories, introduce new people, new cultures, explore new ideas, within the framework of a fairly well-known genre. Since then nearly every step theyve taken, narratively, has been in service of re-introducing old ideas, old characters, etc. into the plot. Guess what guys, were bringing back Bo-Katan! Guess what guys, were bringing back Ahsoka Tano! Guess what guys, we are bringing back Boba Fett! Bill Burr! Cara Dune! Luke Skywalker! Now its gotten to the point where they are completely undercutting the emotional and character arcs of the previous seasons in order to resurrect what they think fans want. Dins rejection of The Creed because he discovered something that was more important to him than abiding by his cults rules? JK he is going to move heaven and earth to get back into their graces after they rejected him. Dins tearful farewell to his surrogate son? JK Grogu isnt even going to spend three whole episodes in an entirely different series away from him before he comes back. IG-11s noble sacrifice serving as a lesson that droids, like people, can become trustworthy? JK Din only likes IG-11 because he was special and is going to rebuild him. The shows dependence on The Volume is also becoming more and more of a noticeable weakness in production, particularly in the wake of Andors first season. What was a brilliant technical achievement four years ago is beginning to show its cracks. Not a super-exciting premiere, imo. It does a fine enough job setting up the seasons plot, I supposeDin has his first fetch quest and a new antagonist established alreadybut the plot itself doesnt feel particularly compelling, and every time they do something to undo previous plot arcs it feels more and more like they dont really know where they are going with this series. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ <cite>MrToothHasYou posted [p:971886027] in The Mandal...

Low budget in comparison? I know it's not, but yea The Volume just isn't as great as people once thought. I rolled my eyes when they brought back IG11. I rolled my eyes at Din wanting so badly to be accepted by the cult again. I don't understand that. The scenes Greef were kinda corny. Too much fanservice.

I was already a little wary because, as someone else said, they completely undercut their own plot in the Boba Fett show. And in this episode, absolutely nothing happens. There were like four different points where I thought we were getting into the meat of the episode. Not the main plot, mind you, just the episode itself. First I thought Djinn was going to deal with the pirates in town. Then I thought this episode would be him going somewhere to get the memory chip. Then I thought we'd be getting him captured by the pirates. Then I thought he'd be doing something on Bo's planet, but no, that was the end of the episode.

legendary_zell 03/02/23 10:55:20 PM #30:	I just watched it and I see why there's been essentially no hype or discussion. After watching Andor, the drop off from that to this is precipitous. The writing, the plot, the dialogue, the visuals, all were trash this episode. The only thing this has going for it at this point is the cuteness of Grogu and Marvel style "are we gonna see X character from Y" or "maybe they're gonna bring back Z who died and was blown up in the vacuum of space." I have no faith in the actual story at this point. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:971919780] in The Mandal...

I do like the whole fetch quest thing he's been doing since season 1, but some of the stuff here was just kind of pointlessly added. It's gonna be tough with some of these shows after stuff like Andor. At least we got a second season of Andor coming up.

masterpug53 03/03/23 11:03:41 AM #37:	Yeah, in a way it's kind of unfortunate that Andor came out of nowhere and kicked ass right when Mandalorian's starting to veer harder away from its own identity. The season opener felt very meh. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read https://imgur.com/1WshTZu - by DB_Insider https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - by Wii_Shaker <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:971927990] in The Mandal...

CyricZ 03/03/23 11:06:23 AM #38:	lolife67 posted... It's pretty silly to compare this to Abdor for a number reasons, not the least of which they're two different types of shows. It's like comparing a drama to a action show/film. This show is the same as it's always been so expecting it to change and be more like Andor doesn't make any sense. But that's the thing. It's not the same show it's always been. The major plot thread of the entire series up to this point has been resolved. We're in a very much "now what" scenario with Mando. I'm not expecting Mando to turn into Andor "rise up against fascism", nor do I think Star Wars can only be top quality if it's that specific theming. Andor did not just succeed because of the "type of show" it is. It succeeded because it made that type of show extremely well. Pacing, dialogue, narrative, characterization. All things any show should be focused on. Mando was doing similarly well back in the first season when the novelty was there. Now the novelty is gone and I would like the show to do something that's not just the same old thing. And if it can't do that, then the show should end. --- CyricZ He/him <cite>CyricZ posted [p:971928029] in The Mandal...

I don't think anyone expects it to be like Andor, just that Andor set a really high bar for what a Star Wars show could be, do this feels like a let down How is it a let down when it's basically the same show it's always been?

Smashingpmkns 03/03/23 3:16:57 PM #49:	Tbh I don't think any of the episodes felt this empty in terms of like, everything. There doesn't have to be a huge plot or anything. This is a pulpy, episodic type show. Usually those types of shows have a central, standalone story to the episode that gets resolved within the episode (as has been the case for the majority of this series) and then onto the next one. I feel like this episode was setting up three individual episodes in the future and nothing else. There wasn't anything to grab onto. It was just needless exposition and build up. I'm not expecting Andor. If anything I'm expecting the exact opposite. But what they did with this episode is neither. It's just a whole lot of nothing. --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:971933106] in The Mandal...
