#mandalorian s2 watch

[victorian-nymph]

This is how their interactions went right

[do-it-uncomfterbl]

Logging into Disney+ every week desperately trying to guess which episode is the chill one and which will leave me inconsolable

S.O.: New phone wallpaper?

Me (staring at my Cal Kestis wallpaper): I want to wrap Cal in a blanket and feed him soup.

S.O.: That was fast.

Me: Hyper fixating on Star Wars properties at the drop of a hat is one of my top ten skills!

the saga of my dad being a casual star wars watcher and me being a ‘i live and breathe this shit’ watcher continues: me yelling THRAWN MENTION at the tv and my dad going ‘who’

tbh from what I’ve seen people who love andor hate kenobi and some people who are insane for kenobi are more lukewarm about andor because they don’t come to Star Wars for that sort of thing. so if it does Star Wars emotions to you it might be new and different ones

thank you anon this is not at all comforting but very funny

Bad Batch Wednesday! Ep10!

Wrecker starts off being a mood, perfect

Gonky is the hero :)

Benny? His name is freaking BENNY?!

Annnnndddd they are about to destroy the ship

Hunter sitting at the back of the speeder like a little kid 😂

"This our defective energy-droid", yes Hunter. Tell him.

Yeah. Boy. You stole the wrong ship. Now you gotta jump down into a mine

And again. I love the animation so much. So fluid. Clean. Details (the animation of the smoke)

BOY. Don't say anything against Omegas dripping outfit

Ah yes. Letting your workers starve and basically treating them like slaves

Also that way to big jacket on Omega is adorable

"This is my home" - "the marauder is our home" - Emotion

And of course Mokko is lying, I expected nothing else

Dadada~ dramatic music

Benny's eyebags look like make-up 🤣

How the table turns, that's on yourself Mokko

OMEGA IS SKILLED, YES

Wait. Whas that episode for Hunter and the crew gaining a deeper realization that more people need help against the empire?

Go on. Go join Echo in the rebellion

All in all a good episode. Really. Again showing how hard of a life people are living, but just not that impressive since we had such a good and emotional episode last week.

ok time to catch up on Ted Lasso

Im still going on my star wars newbie binge ft my boyfriend who is a lifelong star wars fan and we just finished watching the first 2 seasons of the mandalorian and like..... its really good but why does everything have to be serialized....

I enjoyed the show 100 times more when it was just mando and lil yoda (ik his name is grogu i just think its funny) going on episodic space lone ranger adventures and helping random ppl bc mando may be a bounty hunter but he is a Noble Man.

Why does moff gideon exist. He is just space gustavo from breaking bad except gustavo was cool and smart. Moff gideon just knows everything about everyone bc he's played by gustavo from breaking bad. I dont give a shit that the empire is rebuilding itself as... the empire.... if the remnants of the empire were rebranding as a proto-first order or smth like that it would b so much cooler and interesting but. Star war. Storm trooper or something.

Anyways i love pedro pascal hermano latinoamericano. Also din and luke only have like 15 seconds of interaction but honestly?? I see the appeal.

even if bo doesn't die in ep 8, she'll always be dead to me☺️

this is definitely my shout into the void of mandalorian fandom but does anyone feel like this season (and the whole bobf interlude) basically exist to undo season 2?

i don't think it's necessarily an intentional thing, but the whole point of season 2 was Find Grogu A Jedi, plus Din Having Mandalorian Inner Conflict. and yet all the major points of season 2, including grogu's name reveal, were all either reversed or criticized in-show.

within two episodes (of an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SHOW), grogu is back with din, just like that. din's relationship with the children of the watch is thrown into question when he meets bo katan, and then later with mayfeld - and then of his own accord he decides to take his helmet off to say goodbye to grogu. and now we're right back where we started, except grogu has a name (which has at least twice been criticized by other characters) and can do force jumps now.

this isn't to say that the rest of season 3 won't delve deeper into din's identity and beliefs as a mandalorian, or even into grogu's need for instruction on being force-sensitive. i really, really hope that they will explore that at least a little.

it just feels to me that they wanted to rapidly undo their decisions from season 2, especially given that grogu is such a big draw and (at least in my understanding) is part of what makes the show a commercial success (aka something d*sney wants to continue making)

which definitely feels hollow from a story-telling standpoint, but also we saw two different giant repitilian beasts within 3 episodes so i guess i can't realllyyyyy complain (/lh)

my love affair with the original star wars trilogy is a decade strong but ive fully broken up with the tv aspect at this point. clone wars was everything to me but id give filoni a swirly literally at the drop of a hat like stop writing the seven samurai stop writing it i swear

[bereft-of-frogs]

I was not intending to watch Ahsoka, at least not right away because 1) I think getting more selective about star wars and not chasing after completionism is a net positive for my experience, it's cool if I want to wait for reviews/spoilers before watching something, 2) I have a complicated relationship with the two major animated shows, as you all know, if you define 'complicated relationship' as 'I really, really don't want to watch them' so I figured I'd be confused but apparently even Rebels fans are confused so that's one excuse gone XD

Let me get this out before Wednesday. Moff Gideon, I am in your walls. You better watch out.

i really hate to be rewatching this show just to compare it to s3 like truly i just want some wonder and whimsy in my life again as a break from being a hater, but still, rewatching s1 is really just reminding of WHY im disliking s3 so much

so a relatively minor thing about s3 that has nonetheless been irking me is how weird and unnatural and stilted the dialogue is. it just feels so flat and empty. and even the way pedro is voiceacting for din just makes him so monotone and flat - and im not even blaming pedro for like, bad acting or anything, im blaming the direction because the same thing is evident in the written dialogue itself, and obv pedro has been doing fine before this. but overall both the written dialogue and the voiceacting makes din just have like.. no personality whatsoever.

and then contrast it with s1. din really is generally a monotone, minimal words kinda guy, even back in the beginning, but he still had a personality despite that. its the way he said those minimal words that delivered that personality, like theres still the subtle emotion behind everything that really endears you to him and makes the monotone quality like, less of Oh No, Protag Has No Personality, and more of an actual TRAIT of his personality

just listen to this scene! he speaks pretty flatly but its more in a gruff detached way, and he still emotes underneath it which shows his impatience and resignation! he emphasizes words and changes his cadence to stress things, and just overall the way he says “you understand? great.” i dont get this feeling from anything in s3 so far its like din is just Saying Words to keep the show rolling and nothing else, no more subtle characterization and subtle emoting. Sighs

i dont know if im wording this right but just overall the line delivery is so different and so much better in s1 and i cannot believe s3 is so bad so far its got me marveling over the most basic ass shit, like full on writing essays about a random 40 second scene like this

i watched everything i needed to in order to watch the new episode of the mandolorian and

man, they really just gave two whole episodes of boba fett’s solo series to din, grogu, and Uncanny Valley Luke Skywalker huh, and it wasn’t even a good two episodes, they just made Ming Na Wen and Temuera Morrison give up two episodes of their lil mayoral race slash planetary drug war tv show so The Mandalorian could remind them who pays the goddamn bills around here (it’s the puppet, the cute green puppet pays the bills) and shove like an entire season’s worth of emotional arc and plot into two tacked on episodes of someone else’s show. genius.

my unfortunate disney adult trait is i believe baby yoda is the right combination of ugly cute i think he's adorable
