Well what can I add. Not much. Seeing Boba meet up with Bo and company (where did the guy Mando go?) was pretty cool. I like Bo, but still can't get over how I think Charlie Theron would have done with that roll. I can't get it out of my head. It was interesting to hear Bo's take on the "legitamacy" of Boba as a Mandalorian. I like how in this show there isn't too long spent on trivial details. They just meet up, set things, and get it done.
Loved the TIE scene getting into the Cruiser. I can so see crashing in that way. The DarkTroopers were just spot on in my opinion from what I remember reading about them. It was interesting to see Din take one on and barely win even with his training.
Speaking of Din I thought it was great with him fighting Gideon darksaber to beskar spear. Good stuff that. And now is he the Mandalore as he has the Darksaber? This will be interesting to see them get back Mandalore from the Empire. I smell Thrawn here perhaps. And what will Bo cook up to get the darksaber back? I don't see her backing down, but I also don't see her fighting Din for it. It will be interesting to see where this story goes and how they take back Mandalore. I can't wait to see all those Mandos!
What can I say about Luke coming back. I so agree they did right by his character this time. At least Mark Hammil is probably smiling a bit today. More so than he was for the sequels. Why o why we didn't get this type of older Luke in the sequels I will never understand. Cara saying oh one X-Wing we're saved was priceless. I have to go back and see if I can see the markers on the wings, but I immediately teared up. I knew it was Luke. Each new scene of him going through the ship my gals watched me more than the show. I was a teary mess by the end of it. Yeah, I know already. And then R2 shows up and does his leg vanishing thing and they do the tube shaft end credit like in the original movies is just spot on perfect.
JON FAVREAU FOR PRESIDENT!
They need to just let him direct all the rest of the movies and tv shows period. Can you imagine what he would have done with the sequels?! They better keep him nice and happy. I want shows like this long to come.
And then we get the Marvel thing where we have a scene after the credits. No artwork this time. My daughter really likes the concept art. Boba goes in and takes out ole Bib. And then sits on the dias with Fennec posing on the right all Games of Thrones style. I mean it looks tough as all get out. I thought Fennec would bite it in the rescue, but am glad she didn't. I can't wait to see what she and Boba get into in the new series. I can't wait to see the folks here make that scene with Boba and Fennec too. You gotta love Boba, no talk, just blasting! I kinda hope his series goes that way too.
To me, this second season was like The Empire Strikes Back, it just got better and better. Does anyone know when the new season is coming out? Or has it even been announced yet? Whatever the case, this series is saving Star Wars as those of old enough to remember the original movies know it. Man it is gonna stink having to wait another year for it. 2020 sure did stink, but the Mandalorian in 2020 sure didn't!
