Kolek planning to go pro
I think this is the Rangers cost. The escape of Moff Gideon, watching his plans unfurl, all the stuff Teva was doing, he would've just been the supporting character and all that would've been told in that series had it not been cancelled. They had to just cram it in, which left less time to dedicate to Mandalore and the actual story we were getting.
Great stuff. But at this point it has to be setting up season 2 or a crossover. To tie this up in 90 minutes will be rushed and disappointing.
Of course on the strike. I am guessing 'the movie' will actually be a trilogy.
I believe the plan is Mando Season 4 -> Ahsoka season 2 -> Movie
Filoni has been greenlit to do a movie to tie up the entire Mandoverse.No word on a second season other than rumors. With the strike, that’s aways away
Not a fan of that plan at all, unless it's a direct to D+ release. The following for Mando, Ahsoka, Rebels, etc. was all built with a televised audience. I initially thought Ahsoka felt accessible for general fans, but the more I watch the more I feel you really need that backstory to understand it all. Even Thrawn is someone you probably won't fully understand if you haven't read Heir to the Empire or some of the later Zahn stuff (Rebels didn't do him justice).Putting a Mando movie in theaters would be similar to the Serenity movie following Firefly. It was great for diehard fans, but it presumed fans knew too much and it never got the love it deserved because they screwed up the marketing and channel choice for the original show three years earlier. Incorporating all of these into a Mando series would require viewers to have even more knowledge from more properties over a longer period.I'd watch it, but it's a bad idea to try to cram a cinematic finale into 2 hours when you'll be wrapping (at least) 4 different properties that filled hundreds of hours of screen time.
Maybe, but I imagine Disney will put older Mando seasons on ABC eventually to build the audience base (similar to what they did with Andor).
Not sure that helps much. A few will watch, but it won't be the kind of appointment television needed to generate the audience they want.Like 82 said, there are simply aspects that won't appeal to a mass audience. I'll go watch it all, but I just don't see the market for the non-hardcore fans.
Probably right, but good shows (like Mando) will draw an audience. Maybe not Oppenheimer or Force Awakens #s, but solid movies that WILL make the mouse some money.As for episode 7, another good to very good episode, but like many of these series on Disney+ (MCU and SW), only one episode left, so much left...also, curious character arc for Sabine in this series. She literally aided an abetted her master getting nearly murdered, and when Ahsoka comes back to save them, her only response "You're alive?". then hugs and kisses...kinda lazy if you ask me

It’s a shame the Baylon arc will end. That could be interesting and add a lot of new threats to the galaxies
She also literally made it possible for the big, bad Thrawn to get the empire rolling again.She's a criminal who has done irreparable harm and arguably has cost millions of innocent lives, yet she's celebrated as a hero.I thought the same. As I watched the last couple of episodes, I even wondered if he'd change sides after feeling abandoned by Thrawn, bringing his powers to the good guys.Although who knows ... lots of assumed dead Star Warsians end up not really being dead, which is always convenient.I also thought the ending of E7 was a little weird. Almost felt like a celebration for Ahsoka & Gang as if they had accomplished anything ... while Thrawn prepares to kill millions (or billions).Hey, I'm enjoying the series for what it is and for what I understand (which is most but not all).
That was hot garbage.Woof
Agree with you both. Episodes 7 and 8 were quite bad, which was disappointing after getting me reeled in pretty good the first 6 weeks. When S2 comes out, I'll probably wait until a few of you here give it the thumbs up before I decide to watch.
