Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
The final episode better be like 3 hours long. They've set up so much stuff, there's no way to pay off even half of it: midichlorian transfusions, dark troopers, the Darksabre, Ahsoka, Bo Katan, different Mandalorian factions, Grow-goo's signal from the top of Force Mountain...

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
I think you might be confused. Star Wars logic has always been first and foremost about plot constraints. Logic is a distant concern far down the priority list.

Hover skiffs! Thermal detonator! Spears....?
It's almost like the pirates credit at ACME petered out at the end of their order.
Perhaps they would earn more if they tried to *steal* stuff rather than blow it up?

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
It's a season finale, not a series finale (using the non-UK meaning of those words). They certainly WON'T pay off most of it (or maybe even ANY of it).

More great guest stars. I could watch Richard Brake read Horton Hears a Who and still get creeped out. He’s so damn good at being slimy and menacing.

I will add that I watched Star Wars as a kid and have loved it ever since. The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars EVER.

One final note. There is a post credits scene.

This is killing me. I have had so many friends crowing about this episode, and I can't watch until tonight.

Well, don't get too excited. The big thing that happened was the reappearance of Jar Jar Binks.

I have to wait until after my wife gets off work tonight so that we can watch it together.

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
They could have ended the series on that episode and I would have been happy! But I'm all down with seeing more to come!

Ion cannons have been a thing in Star Wars since TESB, though. Sure, it's not Newtonian, but it's long-established canon.

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
Loved it. However, the opening scene made me laugh out loud when the imperial pilot shot his copilot. It answered an age old question about how being shot with a blaster must feel. And that answer is apparently “a lot like taking a really cold shower”.

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
I almost wish that were the end of the show because it would be a damn near perfect ending.
Where does it go now?
I have no idea what's going to happen, but I have faith that it will continue to be something amazing.

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
I applaud their A lesser show would have ridden that popular character to the bank and back again until they couldn’t withdraw anymore. They told a great tale and ended it in a poignant and fulfilling manner. I have confidence they’ll make seasons 3 and further equally as good.
Especially now that we know Jar Jar Binks is back, baby!

Re: [series] The Mandalorian ......Disney
The post-credit scene ended with a new title card. Does that point to a whole new series or (as I assume) the name of the next chapter in The Mandalorian?
If the latter, it's not hard to see how it could expand into new story opportunities while still leaving room to settle the Bo-Katan plot.
