Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

The lack of focus on Mando and Glup Shitto is a genuine concern that I've felt too, but after today's episode I feel like it's back on track. Din's going to get knocked down a peg or two by the end of this and we'll probably be back to building him up again like in S1.

Really? To me it seemed the other way around, that the show will double down on this boka character and her quest to unite mandalore or whatever they have planned.

Sounds like Dave's trying to shove him to the side for his shitty mando waifu tbh.

Considering that everyone is saying the new episode had Space Aladdin characters in it, Filoni probably wants to prioritize his shitty worn out OCs over the new ones. Holy fuck I hate how all Lasats are purple now because of Filoni's shitty Jet Black expy.

I don't know if Favreau is trying to re-write or course-correct the childish post-RotJ worldbuilding that Cuck Wendig came up with, but I like it.

If that were true, they never would've referenced his OCs or used characters from fucking Dr. Aphra. They could've just created new ones to replace them instead of giving those two godawful shitheads more attention as a consequence.

They're making a big show out of Bo being the uniter, but Din's currently the one with the Darksaber. Feels like a misdirect.

I wouldn't bat an eyelash over it if it wasn't for the fact that Bo-Katan practically ruined the Mandalorian nation. She helped bring Maul and his gangsters to Mandalore to overthrow her sister Satine, then when Maul defeated her boyfriend Pre Vizsla and took control of Death Watch LEGALLY, Bo started another civil war to unseat Maul, even bringing in the Republic, their ancient foe and the reason why Mandalore was glassed.

Then Bo-Katan started a third civil war with Sabine Wren and the Phoenix Squadron overthrowing the pro-Imperial Mandalorians, who were quite literally, the only reason why the Empire didn't glass Mandalore. When their Mando puppets were gone, the Imps came to Mandalore in force and glassed the planet. Bo-Katan could've evacuated the planet and had the Mandalorians join the Rebellion proper, then returned to retake the planet once the Empire had been overthrown. Instead, she and her people stayed despite pissing off the Imps, and what happened after was obvious; a repeat of Alderaan, except on a smaller scale. She's the last person who should lead.

They could've had it so that Din would learn how to be a leader from Bo, the Armorer, and other figures from both within and outside the Mandalorians. Instead, it seems that he's destined for the sidekick bin as Bo-Katan takes center stage.

The mandalorian has really gone down the shitter.

Started off as a fun adventure of the week about a hardass bounty hunter on the outer rim collecting hits with a thread to tie it all toogether and in the span of 1 and a half seasons we're right the fuck back to legends, prophecies, conspiracies and chosen ones.

I also wish someone would stab this boka tan bitch already so the focus can go back on mando and baby yoda, I seriously couldn't give less of a fuck about her and now she's the main character of every fucking episode.

Hot take, but "the book of boba fett" was way more entertaining than "The bokatan show: Mando is there too sometimes".

Hot take, it was never that great and your standards are too low.

Near as I can tell there are three Disney Warz types on the Farms. People like me who legit like to watch bad things that are so bad they're good (Batman and Robin) or if they have some saving grace (Hayden and Ewan together again). Then there are people like Imperator or others that hate it and are watching to document how bad it is. Then there are people that like actually 'like' it.

So Disney is replacing bland, Marvelized Boba Fett Lite with a stronk female?

Oh my how surprising...

Fucking shit! How are we still getting the fucking Rebels characters! I actually had to google. Zeb??? Really?

How is Fagloni on Aphra? He's gonna have to be allowed to put he's greasy faggot fingers on the character if he uses her. So what's he going to 'fix' about her?

So Sabine the Mando Princess will probably show up at some point?

Why the hell not! A fucking galaxy to choose from and we're still getting Filoni OC's from failed cartoons. Fuck I'm glad I completely checked out and stopped caring about Star Wars period after Season Two.

The only thing new out of Star Wars I paid attention to after Season Two of Fagloni's glorified fanfic was the first episode of Boba Fett (truly loathsome) and Kenobi (skipped anything that wasn't Hayden and Ewan). Nothing else and boy have I not missed anything of fucking value.

The Mandalorian, especially in its first two seasons, pretty much just ran on one basic concept: the fact that we've been so inundated with trash that basic competence is like seeing the face of God.

Dave doesn't have an original bone in his body.

If you go back and do your research, Mando, as it was originally conceived, was Dave taking the basic plots of spaghetti westerns and ripping them off into episodes without much connective tissue. Jon Favreau was there to lend the project credibility and to try to get on the ground floor of Star Wars after what happened to him with Iron Man and Marvel.

The end result is two seasons where we saw a literal train heist in a universe with space ships and ATATs. Why is the empire using a land vehicle? Because Dave is ripping off a Cowboy show episode where the marshal protects a train. Even Mandos character (what there is of it) is based around ripping off spaghetti westerns. The man with no name breezes into town, fixes things, and leaves.

It's not that Dave hasn't done okay or decent work. But when he does it's because he's copying someone else. Rebels was a dead show with cameos until he pilfered Timothy Zahn's dumpster. Season three is not ironically the best thing he's done and its because he's taking other people's stuff and using it. The problem is he's too narcissistic, too egotistical to just rip something off, he has to insert himself creatively into it.

That's why Rebels Season 3 falls flat in it's first and last episodes. It's why Clone Wars feels so disjointed and wildly up and down in quality. The only difference with Mando is instead of Zahn or Stackpole or John Ostrander, Dave is stealing the ideas of Chuck Wendig and Claudia Grey.

Its competent and fun, which is more than can be said about 90% of shows that come out today.

So if you find a turd that is less smelly, it's better?

Regardless, I dispute whether Mando is 'fun' or 'competent.' As for television. Tulsa Kings, Reacher. Then there's foreign programs like Squid Games from Korea or Spain programs like Money heist. Even Star Wars. I haven't bothered, but everyone on here I trust on this thread has described Andor as infinitely better than Mando.

But you keep consooming whatever Disney pumps out.

If you got another episodic sci fi show about bounty hunting to recommend me I'd be happy to watch it. On the grand totem pole of things cowboy beebop is better, but there isn't much competition on the genre right now.

You have 80 years of television, and nearly a century of Radio, and a massive the written body of work - many with audiobook versions - available for piracy streaming at minimal cost but instead you give money to the Rat for Current Thing made by people who hate the property and you.
Rewatch Babylon 5, Farscape, SG1, Lexx (until it gets retarded. er.). Watch the Outer Limits (any series).

Hell, just read Lone Wolf and Cub instead of getting it watered down with consoomer drivel.

Spend your time with things you enjoy instead of just mindlessly consooming Latest Content and getting soy faced about Next Content.

tl;dr:

Read a Motherfuckin' Book! [Mirror for Great Justice]

Like I said, play the fucking Bounty Hunter game. Don't just watch a Mando bounty hunting through the galaxy-live it!
