Kolek planning to go pro
I love the show and I don't "hate" her. I just find her storyline the least interesting -- and, as you said, the most repetitive -- of all of them so far.And why do we care that her daughter is a rude, spoiled brat? Right now, I sure don't. But hey, maybe she goes on to be some big shot in the rebellion ... or in the Empire!
See, I’m fascinated by the daughter. The role of a rebellion leader leads to things not really covered in Star Wars, how it impacts the family. There are unintended consequences
I'm hoping she emerges as a leader of some kind down the line, which will have made that part of the storyline be something other than a distraction. Just my opinion. It's cool that a series like this can offer different things to different viewers.
Waiting over a year for season two seems cruel
It will be interesting to see if at some point, Mon has to decide between her daughter and the rebellion.
Enjoyable season finale, but there are so many open storylines! Next up: 3 months till Mando S4.
So far it’s looking like the latter!
Rewatched the Andor season finale today. So much emotion packed into it, even on a 2nd watch.It would have been even better if Disney let them use the original line, "F*ck the Empire" instead of "Fight the Empire." But alas, it was still very good.
I'm finding the character-driven parts of the Mandolorian (where we learn more about Din, the culture/religion/cult, etc) to be very interesting. And even though I'm a Star Wars fan, I'm finding the more Star Warsy stuff to be less interesting.So far, I'm enjoying S3 but not quite as much as I did the first two. That's a real high bar because I really loved the first 2 seasons.I do hope that in the time remaining this season, we get to see more about what Gorgu will become. The little guy needs to be about more than looking cute and performing the occasional Force magic trick. But I don't know ... maybe they're saving that for a whole new series.
Grogu is The Mandalorian
Very meh 3rd season of The Mandolorian. Disjointed at times, trying to do way too much. Show needs to get back to Mando & Grogu going on episodic adventures and meeting interesting characters along the way.The finale rushed to try to tie up some storylines. An incredibly weak end story for the Dark Saber (seriously, WTF?). The show set a high bar early, but this season didn’t get back to those expectations.
And at times it resorts to telling, rather than showing, the audience. Captain Teeva tells us that Moff Gideon escaped, we didn't see the breakout. Moff Gideon spent a lot of time talking about what he was up to with out showing us. Just one exposition after another.The retaking of Mandolore seemed way too rushed. Just completely hollow and unearned. Things just happened with very shallow reasoning from the characters.
