Please indulge me, I'm playing around with creating a new effect.

Make one with your Anderson Silva Darth.
His big eyes will give you space to work.
 
Couldn't agree more. Saw a YouTube video about him a week ago or so. Glad that they've continued the tradition of having a top notch score to go along with a Star Wars production. Probably the only show I can remember watching the ending credits because of the great music and artwork.


That guy is brilliant. I'm not big on soundtracks and I can only really recall 3 composers that stood out. Morricone for the good bad and ugly, Williams for both of the real prequels (duel of the fates was the best part of the 2nd trilogy), and now this guy for the mandalorian.

It's incredible to see someone that has such insanely big shoes to fill come in and exceed expectations. That's so rare. I can't even think of another example right now.

Oh, and as for the show itself. Congrats to Filoni and Favrau. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you simply listen to the fans and give them what THEY want instead of what YOU want.

Disney needs to declare that last trilogy non-canon right now. The fans will instantly forgive them. And anyone who enjoyed those movies won't care because they're not star wars fans anyway. Disney's already made their money off that crappy trilogy, now it's time to win back the fans. They have nothing to lose. In fact, they have a lot to gain because any future stories involving Luke or the orginal characters will have fans throwing money at them.

Honestly at this point the only reason to NOT do it is simply to spare the egos of Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams, and maybe Rian Johnson. But I doubt Kennedy will care as long as she gets to keep her job. And it sounds like JJ and Rian are out of star wars forever so who cares about their feelings.
 
Hey, is it just me or could this show use some decent villains?

+100

As great as it is, the show never gave us real villains. Mando isn't a main event hero so when it was just him and Grogu, incompetent stormtroopers and cantina roughnecks were appropriate. But after they introduced Ahsoka, Boba and tie ins with the main SW universe, they moved into a bigger pond but kept the small time villain.

Gideon reminds me of George Takei. Not threatening, not scary, a goofy nerd who's kind of smart. Oh my.

Seeing Luke Skywaller as full powered master Jedi was maybe greatest surprise I ever got watching a tv show.
They should do a Jedi Order series with Luke and Grogu. They can then retcon 7-9 and feature Grogu in the new movies. Then they can time jump 200 years into the future when Grogu is an adult.
And it would be massively better

It's not just you. Moff Fring is off course a A-Level actor, but he lacked the sheer menace and power of true heavyweights like Vader, Palpatine or even Maul. You need someone with either Dark Side powers or some other form of enhancement to pose a real threat to Mando. The finale showed the difference between Force users and normal humans: Mando, for all his training, experience and Beskar armour struggled against a single Dark Trooper droid. Luke literally walked through a whole platoon of them and crushed the last one like an empty soda can. Without even breathing hard:cool:

That kid made the right call not trying to follow Williams in how he approached the show. Yes, Star Wars certainly has a certain sound associated with it, but this show didn't need the epic sweeping soundscapes Williams is known for. The kid made it more intimate for TV.

I also agree with the rest of your post.

True, but Jango and Boba both killed Jedi, if I remember correctly. Probably not one of Luke’s or Ashoka’s power though.
 
Hmmm.......forgot about this too.....Darth Sidious is technically the last clear winner.....way too much inconsistency F&F need to clear up.
