    OK I watched both seasons back to back and like most of you I'm sure, rewatched the final scene of the Jedi kicking some major ass.

    So when the X-wing pulls up I said, nah can't be.
    The green lightsaber?  No way.
    Pops that hood.  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

    Fanboy 5yo me comes rushing out!

    The series as a whole was good.  Not sure about the whole A-Team aspect of each episode sometimes but it was really good. Including Ahsoka Tano from Clone Wars was a nice touch.

    The stories weaved throughout this series can have spinoffs for decades on this time period alone.

    So after all of this does Baby Grogu go off w Luke to get slaughtered?
    The Cloning that was going on at that base, I couldn't make out whom they were trying to make.  Anyone?
    Will we see Tano in future movies and spinoffs?

    That's all for now.  More to come of course!

    I had the same reaction when the X-wing showed up. I was like holy s***!. My wife was like "what?', and then she figured out what was happening she started geeking out too.

    I had a feeling it was going to be our green saber wielding friend who finished things off for S2 and took away the kid.

    Loved it....Rosario Dawson as Ashoka Tano was the best part for me.  Easy to predict if you know how I feel about her - she is awesome.  (Sort of like how you feel about John Favreau, but different?  lol)

    BTW, there is nothing, seemingly, JF cannot do well.  Chef Show on Netflix is one of my favorites and the movie Chef is something I watch monthly.  If there are no sports on, it is late, and I am boozing, odds are strong that I am watching either that show or that movie.
    Love his Marvel work as well.
    Cannot stand Rudy, but Swingers is a classic.

    Very much look forward to more from Mando. 
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    The obvious one is Asoka looking for Ezra. I really liked Rebels, so I am curious to see if they go with a story line that follows what happened at the end.

    I think they were considering a spinoff for Cara Dune before Carano pissed everyone off on twitter...

    Love The Mandalorian!
    Jon Favreau has done a great job, especially after the mixed bag of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Some of the episodes were great, some were just ok, but overall it's nice to be excited about Star Wars again.

    I'm looking forward to the Ahsoka spin off, she was a real highlight of season 2. Hopefully it will be ready this year.



    The Rangers of the New Republic spin off is apparently set in the same timeline as The Mandalorian, so there could be a crossover at some point. And of course there is The Book Of Boba Fett to look forward to as well.

    This is obvious.  I'm talking about possible other plot lines.

    I'm a huge Boba fan but I can't imagine this being as good as Mando.

    I mean for 25 years he has been roaming around Tatooine looking for his damn armor so I'm skeptical.

    That to me wouldn't have been that exciting.  Spreading the heard thin.

    The addition of a Tano show makes sense since she was a big factor in Rebels.

    Rangers is going to be a space cop movie?

    Former MMA fighter is MAGA? Literally no one could have predicted this.  

    Oh well, somehow I'll find a way to enjoy the show regardless.

    Anyway... love the Mandolorian. 

    It isn't perfect, some of the dialogue is rough, and I didn't love how the 1st 5 episodes of S2 were 'mission of the week' type stories, but minor criticisms aside, it's the best SW content we've got since the '80s IMO. 

    Favreau & Filoni are fantastic, and should be given the reigns of the franchise moving forward. 

    Have people watched the Mandolorian Gallery? Amazing behind the scenes footage, I highly recommend.

    Have not, will have to check it out.

    I loved the storyboards or portraits at the end.  How does one buy one of those?!?
