It was illegal to speak up. Like, empire means empire and in the eye of the republic the jedi tried to usurp power and murder Palpatine.
I mean, take Fallen Order's opening as an example, look how fast the inquisitors came to Bracca when there was just a rumor that there was a jedi there. Palpatine really wasn't playing around and none of the dissent could really be made public. So even if you knew the story about the jedi being traitors at the very least sounded fishy and/or was total bullshit, unless you were joining the rebellion holding your tongue was still a far better alternative than what the empire would do to you. And it's fucked up because it becomes increasingly normalized in the galaxy until a full on rebellion is needed.
Huh, that's wild. Apparently Bryce Dallas Howard didn't even meet Pedro Pascal.
Does it? That in and of itself explains so much about this show honestly.
I'd say none of the issues I have with the show are connected to the performance of the mandalorian himself and I wouldn't have guessed that Pedro missed an entire episode
You'll actually find that owning your own ship is kinda essential to being a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe.
Jabba didn't know who Luke Skywalker was when he met him. Fett didn't really consider him a threat and ignored him at Jabba's Palace. He didn't even consider him a threat on the Desert Skiff until he had taken out a couple of guards. Too bad there were no witness to Luke's greatness.
What Rebellion propaganda? The Rebels were living out of caves or were nomads five years prior to the show.
It's clear from the show that Mando is a local operator and his preferred modus operandi is under the radar. His ignorance of the Force suggests he is ignorant of Jedi. His ignorance of Jedi supports an inference he is ignorant who Luke Skywalker is.
Yep. Had a suspicion all along that was not him and he was mostly doing voiceover for a lot of it. Kind of takes me out of it never seeing facial expressions honestly. Especially since PP has a great face
It's a completely unnecessary plot device that covers for lazy writing. It's functions have been wildly inconsistent throughout the show.
Yeah, I mentioned this last week as well after seeing the Bryce Dallas Howard episode. What's the point of hiding out when a single tracking fob is apparently able to perfectly pinpoint your location from across the Galaxy? This episode was even more ridiculous about it then the last one.
Quite a feat, too. To memorize which sandy dune she was at on a desert planet.
I am prepared to give the writers the benefit of the doubt on that one and assume word go out about his feat in defeating the AT-ST (apparently several weeks passed). Mando even suggested that would be the case in his conversation with Cara Dune.
While true, the show also explicitly places the planet in the episode as some backwater planet that has basically nothing more advanced than droids. It doesn't even have a proper spaceport. Furthermore, that village they're in is in the middle of nowhere. So while technically word could've gone out across the galaxy about the AT-ST battle, it seems quite farfetched going from the information provided in the episode.
Indeed. It's highly implausible and I don't want to give the impression that I am covering for shoddy writing. The line "They know he's here" makes it even worse.
What success? The only successful thing about the show is how it succeeded in generating free marketing through emotional manipulation.
Millions of people are watching and enjoying it. The overall response to the show is fairly positive. It's ok that you can't see that through your cynicism. 🙂
Considering it's pretty much the only Disney Plus OC, you'd sure hope so.
If the show was objectively trash, you wouldn't have people still tuning in week to week but yes, your subjective opinion supercedes all that.
Oh i see. You're the "cool guy" fan that has the schtick of looking down on everyone that isn't you. Wow. People still do that I guess. Carry on. 🤭
Why does everything on this forum have to be black or white? Perhaps the premise of the show appeals to me but the quality of the delivery falls below my expectations? Perhaps I am willing to overlook my misgivings in the short-term in the hope that it improves? It's not going to stop me from calling out what I don't like.
Lots of people feel that there things that could improve the show. That is a perfectly fine position to have. If you had said that, you would zero pushback from me...but you didn't. You said:
I maintain that has been the show's crowning glory. It has not brought anything new to the table much less representative of a new Gold standard for the genre.
It really stands out as missing when it shows up so much in the art at the end of the episodes.
