Al of this makes sense in the star wars universe. All of it serves to progress the character(s) too.
The ship repair thing is pretty low effort criticism. How do you know how long it took? It purposefully ambiguous because it doesn't really matter. If it takes 1 vs 5 days the outcome is the same. Also name an action/adventure film/series like this that doesnt have some nature of a fetch quest?
Its fine if you dont like it but I think you're getting tripped up trying to justify those opinions with some YouTube level criticism.
I think you need to take a breather if you think what I'm saying is "YT level criticism". I'm saying part of what I stated is breaking the immersion for me.
It shows them transition from day to night, and then day again. There is no indication that it took them days, it appears to have taken them basically a night-morning.
I'm not criticizing it just because it's a fetch quest, but because the quest itself was incredibly boring and disconnected from character development. All we get out of it is the baby Force moment, which obviously opens the door to some interesting narrative possibilities. There are a million different ways to put him out on an adventure and still have a similar moment, maybe introduce more world building, meet new characters, find some self discovery along the way. But "kill the beast and take the egg" felt incredibly lazy to me.

I don't know who this guy is, so this could be bullshit, but taking this tweet at face value this would line up with that old rumor of Snyder doing a Jedi remake of Seven Samurai. Didn't realize that and the Yoda solo movie were one and the same...though kinda makes sense with Yoda playing the Kanbe role.
This is parody, isn't it? Not real info or rumor or anything, right?
One thing I find really odd about The Mandalorian, is that the planet that we're spending the most time on appears to be another Tatooine clone? Why another desert?
I like really like Man of steel, dawn of the dead, 300 , and sucker punch.
I'm not the biggest fan of BvS but reigned in a Snyder Star Wars film has a ton of potential.
Is it Anakinmfw a certain John Williams tune starts playing in Fallen Order
its fits with the cowboy theme
he's left now though so who knows where he'll end up on the way back to the client
I really like Mandalorian. Really easy to follow. Great visual storytelling, especially in the second episode, great humor utilized in a good way, the Mando trying to overcome obstacles but is clearly struggling sometimes (which in a hero's journey you want), and just great shots all around. Nothing feels random, and actually, very easy to follow. It never trails in side plots and just follows one simple storyline. Every episode has one or two revelations that moves the storyline forward. It's great, and those complaining are looking at it from a reactionary perspective instead of seeing it for what it is. Has fantastic dialogue and a well-written plot.
There is nothing "reactionary" about my criticisms. I've seen the first episode three times and the 2nd two. We should be allowed to criticize the show without being labeled as "YT video" level and "reactionary". I've clearly laid out my gripes here and in the Mando OT. Please stop with this. No one here is saying it's hard to follow.
I wasn't sure who you were referring to so hit the unignore content button and now it makes sense who's calling you reactionary for not liking something lol
Was I singling you out? Did I respond to you up until this moment? This is a positive thread, let's keep it that way.
I mean I'm loving the show but light criticism like that shouldn't really be considered negative (at least not by star wars fan standards lol)
The thread is positive and will remain positive regardless of if some people just aren't feelin it unless we make it negative

You responded using specific works from my criticism, including "random". I also just had a conversation with someone which involved confusing what I was saying with "I can't understand the plot".
By positive I hope you don't mean "don't criticize the show". I'm still watching and hoping that I'll eventually like it.
And I'll praise something if I like it/criticize it if I don't, it's really as simple as that. As I've always done in this thread.
Mando is wonderful but I mean I wouldn't claim it's anywhere near as good as either TFA or TLJ yet.
It's really enjoyable so far though.

I've seen so many westerns I'm giddy at all the callbacks. Here's another from Stephen Stanton:

Yeah, I've just travelled to my first planet and I'm having a good time. The performance issues are a bit disappointing but they're not ruining my enjoyment. It just makes you marvel all the more at the likes of Naughty Dog getting Uncharted 4 running on a base PS4 without a hitch.
I'm liking Cal more than I expected. Pretty cool seeing an older Cere after reading the Fallen Order comic too.
Well now you've got me looking forward to this.
The influences are cool to see.
Westerns are probably my least favorite genre in film so maybe that's why the show isn't doing much for me.
Someone just said "faster, more intensity" to me lmao.
I'm so glad I don't live in the Star Wars universe. I'd be like a Jedi or something and be upholding peace and justice and honor and defending the innocent and then some hot chick in black leather would show up and be like "Want to turn to the dark side and kill Jedi or abduct children or whatever" and I'd be like
Started to pick up Rebels on Disney+ where I left off after season 2. Watched the first few episodes of season 3. How big is the rebellion in this show? Cause they had the episode where they raid a salvage yard to steal a bunch of Y-Wings. But they ultimately take off with like, five ships total. And they said its for Dodonna's cell, so like are these going to be the five Y-Wings seen in ANH?
Wondering how big the rebellion actually got to. Was it like a bunch of old EU stuff which went buck wild with shit popping off all over the galaxy and what we saw in the movies was only a small slice of it? Or was the height of the rebel fleet like "aw dang, we got three whole mon cal cruisers!"

In the current canon the Rebel Alliance was very much a ragtag thing until shortly before ANH. The opening crawl of the original movie makes it clear that the Rebels have just recently "won their first victory" against the Empire, which the old EU kind of shat all over by having the fully-formed Rebel Alliance running around blowing shit up for twenty years before ANH. In the current canon they're careful to avoid having the actual official "Rebel Alliance" form until around two years before ANH and the only official Rebel-sanctioned operation victory that occurs before ANH is Scarif in Rogue One, which is the one mentioned in the crawl.
Whenever I do my biennial rewatch, it's in chronological order for this reason.
Warning - don't go look at the Wikipedia entry for The Mandalorian. If it's true, it spoils the Mando's name.
Its true lol. Pedro Pascal revealed it in a interview.
