Oso planning to go pro
Are you guys familiar with the Clone Wars series?Some of the Ahsoka/Luke interaction is fed directly from Ahsoka/Anakin that was explored in CW. And also the Bane character is quite familiar to Clone Wars watchers. Deep cuts for nerds.
It was cool as hell to have Luke show up in the Season 2 finale of Mando, but the absolute minimum you use him now, the better at this point.
To be clear, I'm by no means trying to criticize anyone who is deep into Star Wars and loves everything Star Wars. I'm familiar with Clone Wars, but didn't consume it. My thought process is there is potentially a great and interesting story to tell with The Book of Boba Fett. A "backstory" of Boba coming back, combined with a criminal underworld on Tatooine, with a Western backdrop for seven episodes would be awesome (if built right). If you bring Mando in at the tail end of episode 6 and build towards some epic showdown with the syndicates in the finale would be sweet.It was cool as hell to have Luke show up in the Season 2 finale of Mando, but the absolute minimum you use him now, the better at this point.
I can see where people unfamiliar with Clone Wars might not be able to follow E6, but it was the best of the series by far, IMO. It was a storytelling keystone that bridges what has come before with what will come in the next few years. Just awesome bomb drop after awesome bomb drop.I know it's a LOT, and that's how I felt when I waded into Clone Wars (currently in Season 5 myself) but there are some guides of must-watch episodes like this that make it easier to get through while hitting all the key points and characters. It's worth getting to know Ahsoka, Cad Bane, Duchess Satine, Asajj Ventress, Saw Gerrera (later seen in Rogue One), Hondo, Savage Opress, Captain Rex, and so many other characters and plotlines. The animation takes some getting used to, but it's a really good show that makes stuff like Rogue One, Mandalorian, and TBOBF so much better.
I liked episode 7, enjoyed the action and rooting for some of the characters, and wrapped up the series just fine. And overall, I'd say Boba Fett was OK. Nowhere near as good as The Mandalorian, but I don't regret the few hours I spent watching it.Was it "disjointed," as Dish says? Sure. But as I said earlier, I'm a SW fan but not a fanatic or "nerd." I look at this stuff as escapism; I didn't go in hoping to for a masterpiece of storytelling. And the arc of the Star Wars universe certainly doesn't matter to me. There is 0.0% chance I watch the Clone Wars. Yeah, I know, brew ... I'm a heretic!

Nah, not a heretic, I just think the target audience isn't people like you and Dish. This was closure for the Boba Fett/Cad Bane arc and world-building Fennec, the Mods, and Krrsantan. All that was designed for people that did watch Clone Wars, and they knew they could do this because of the success of characters like Ahsoka in Mando.I think of this as a Mandalorian season that focusses elsewhere, hence the "Book" of Boba Fett. He was just one of the characters that got chapters and it was part of a greater overall storyline. I could see a second season that's more an anthology, giving different characters episodes.
So I've been watching rebels and just finished clone wars. I can't begin to explain how frustrating it is. Its awesome that we have different stories but the addition of all these other Jedi or force sensitive individuals who survived is really ticking me off. At a certain point I'm just sitting here thinking they made as many horrible decisions as possible and caused the hopeless situation that lead to the empire in the first place.
While totally true, part of what I enjoy about those is seeing mistakes the Jedi made. They definitely aren't the infallible gurus Lucas made them out to be, which makes sense considering their regime collapsed to the Sith. I also like how the Jedi philosophies, mostly based on individualism and a departure from emotion are now placed in contrast with the Mandalorian "Way" where it is all about connection, mostly centered on the Din Djarin/Grogu/Luke love triangle.
The Kenobi trailer is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Apparently there were some major changes made to the original script of Kenobi because it was "too dark"? The series that tells the story of Obi Wan after he had to dismember his best friend who betrayed him and is forced into hiding after the Empire killed almost everyone he knows? Isn't "dark" kind of the point?Disney is making the same mistake here they made with Boba Fett. We wanted an antihero crime lord badass ruthlessly building his empire across the galaxy, and we got Mandalorian season 2.5 with Boba playing sheriff on Tatooine. The point of these series should be to provide opportunities for other kinds of stories to be told in the SW universe, and deviate from the motifs of the films where the hero is always good, the cause is always noble, and the setting is always f-ing Tatooine.
