"The Mandalorian, also known as Star Wars: The Mandalorian, is an American space Western web television series that premiered on Disney+ on November 12, 2019. Set in the Star Wars universe, the series takes place five years after the events of Return of the Jedi and follows a Mandalorian bounty hunter beyond the reaches of the New Republic."



This show is really good. It isn't exactly what I hoped for, but it's great. It's very well made, the episodes so far have been good, interesting takes on Westerns and Samurai movies.

One of the main characters is weapons grade cuteness that eclipsed Baby Groot almost instantly.

Please use spoiler tags

Please do not discuss the new movie here.

    I have watched 2.5 episodes so far and my opinion is that it's a great example of how star wars should just be banned from making main movies so jank bullshit can exist.

    Well now I know that crotchspawn is a term people use and get real mad about.

    That's a thing I can't remove from my brain now.

    Oh and I guess this show is pretty good.

    Def not really bitter at whoever decided there should be a week and a half between episodes 7 and 8 with how 7 ended.

    Well, they do have something big planned for Friday, so it makes.. some sense?

    Could be worse, could be the Good Place taking a month long cliff hanger on it's entire finale.

    I will curse them to the ends of the earth for putting a cliffhanger in the episode released before their long week.

    I will curse them even more if the finale also ends in a cliffhanger.

    I think it'll be wrapped up. The baby arc at least if not the overall baddie

    Episode 6 was good but I personally didn't super like it. Didn't feel very Star Wars. I think it was the costumes maybe? They seemed a little bland by comparison.

    Episode 7
    Death Troopers hell yeah!

    Episode 7:
    They did a very good job answering my question of how exactly this is gonna have an ending. I started to get real anxious once they picked up Kuiil and the IG about the multitude of ways this was going to go bad, turns out it did just not in the ways I was expecting. I love seeing the difference between Herzog’s little band playing house in dirty, ill-fitting armor vs the Moff and an actual Imperial remnant.

    Please don't do that here

    I do not enjoy the shit talking and counter shit talking and the negative aspects of the star wars fandom, and asked tube if I could make a separate thread for this show I enjoy, so I could be free of the discourse in the other thread

    I finally got to watch episode eight

    It was amazing. There were so many good moments for the characters, the dialog and action were great, this is now firmly one of my favorite shows, right up there with Adventure Time

    This show is really good and I’m looking forward to the next season.

    I’ve never been into the non-Jedi/Sith parts of Star Wars, so this is a very welcome surprise.

    What are the odds of (Mandalorian Season 1 finale spoilers)
    Mando getting the Darksaber

    Or, wildcard, does it actually belong to the armorer

    When Mando said that he knew who the head imp was because the head imp knew Mando's name, I was 100% expecting the head imp to be a former mandalorian
