I just watched Episode 6 of "The Mandalorian", and it just makes me weep how easy its been for the showrunners of that thing to make Star Wars work. Setting aside the fact that Mando is a compelling and interesting character and the emotional hook while simplistic works, they actually get the fucking continuity right.
They spend approximately 30 seconds or so IN THE ENTIRE SERIES spread out over multiple episodes to imply that the New Republic is a thing, that it is in charge, and that there was actually some sort of payoff for us rooting for the rebellion. In that the rebels won their revolution and are now the government. And in Episode 6 this is rammed home by the fact that Mando has to raid a Prison ship, it is crewed by an officer in a uniform we associated with the rebellion, and the rapid response force is a flight of X Wings in the same uniform as we saw in the Original Trilogy.
Oh and in this TV show the X wings can use hyperspace lhjk;fasdljk;fasd jl k;fasdljk; fsdaljk; fsd a FUCK YOU RIAN JOHNSON.....
sorry, I kinda lost the thread there for a second....
Point is the Mandalorian doesn't fuck with the lore but actually respects and builds on it. And it does it with such minimal effort that it blows my mind that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson managed to fuck up something so basic.

I've been saying it for ages. This movie is a shittier knockoff of Dark Empire but all the main characters are dead (Lando, Leia, 3PO, Chewie and R2 die at the end apparently or just Leia while the others just get a fake out death).
So this is it... the final stretch of a horrid year... We made it... The moment of truth is here at last...
Did we lose any brave shitposters along the way here?
I honestly did find it weird and somewhat pleasent how the New Republic was more like its EU depiction than its Disney depiction. They even used the old pre-Disney EU logo instead of the Disney EU one.
For comparison, the Disney logo on the left and the old logo that was used for Mandalorian the other night.
Its a shame the show had to go and remind the audience that TLJ and Solo still fucking happened in the continuity of the show.
No matter how "good" this shit is. It still has the same lame end result.

Sorry. I meant "lose". So, is there anyone who used to post here regularly that's now perma-AFK? I think we all made it. Maybe...

Not at all. Because Force Awakens supposedly takes place 13 years after this show, and in that time everyone seems to have magically forgotten everything that happened at the end of Return of the Jedi (20 years later), and that SOMEHOW, in the span of just TWO DECADES, the New Republic managed to unite the galaxy, disarm itself unilaterally, and let some shit called the First Order take over using a superweapon that not only has the power to destroy multiplate star systems at once, but also give people watching it happen the power to see events happening light years apart instantly.
Oh, and never once is the New Republic mentioned in the disney movies. Not even as a throw away line. Its just "the resistance". Which begs the question, the resistance to what? The First Order? In Force Awakens aren't the First Order trying to conquer the galaxy? Wouldn't that make THEM the resistance? Resisting the New Republic? And why would the New Republic just roll over and let it happen? Is there reason? Is it EXPLAINED? Not at all. Even now after the abortion that is TLJ we STILL don't know what the First Order fucking is, or how it came to "reign", or why we should even care.
Whearas in the Mandalorian, they have created two new factions from whole cloth, the Mandalorian Clan (Though they borrow hard from the Bioware Games) and the Bounty Hunters Guild, artfully explained without resorting to a monologue what they are and what their deal is, while also world building a galaxy in which both are underground forces living in a galaxy under the administrative control of the New Republic, that replaced the defunct Empire, and will drop a flight of X Wings on your ass if you run afoul of it.
What could have been. FFS.

Only way this could be resolved is if they show Canto Bight in the show and it turns out that its just the name of a Dug casino on Malastare or Nar Shadaa and that the show takes place in its own personal continuity. But that's not likely going to happen since a lot of the ugly and donut steal TLJ aliens are already in the show.
Pretty much how I feel. We know no matter what shit happens, its all going to amount to nothing and the FO is going to wipe a shit ton of planets and any stability off the map while the New Republic shits itself with extreme incompetence and turn its back on Leia no matter what we see in this show. This show has so much potential, all they need to do is just cut it off from the festering boils that are the new trilogy.
Also in case anyone's interested (and as a follow-up to my old TLJ Casino planet coverage) this is what a Canto Blight slot machine looks like:
It doesn't look anything like the ship, it relies on a three-match win and I feel like it'd be easy to cheat with this thing.

Okay I'm not going to catch up to page 1011 from page 1006 so I'll just dump my impressions of Mando #6 and this fucking hilarious Fortnite clip.
Are you a real life person, what the fuck are you DOING Jay-Jay. They arrive in the middle of a fuck-ass HYOOGE First Order hangar, kill two troops, and then just waltz the fuck right in without getting swarmed!?!??!?!!?!?!
THANK. YOU. JOM-JAM
--for removing all doubt. I thought there might be a few good scenes in this catastrofuck of a film, but you've quite simply made the shittiest fucking fan-fiction of Star Wars into a goddamn billion dollar film production.
B R A V O J J
so anyways heres my impressions of mando 6: it's pretty good.
I really enjoyed the New Republic security droids. They looked pretty cool and were fairly intimidating for mooks. This felt like a solid episode overall, feather #2 in Rick Famuyiwa's cap. Looking forward to his next episode. Also as for episode 5, that wasn't as good but not terrible. Fairly average to bottom-of-the-barrel so far. Didn't find anything SJW about it at all.

The more important date however is December 20. That is when Cats comes out.

Oh shit you're right. The movie may come out earlier than anticipated, but the Cats rivalry is where the real show is at. Also the Jumanji 3 box office is currently at over 200mil I think.

There's more of Karen Traviss than of KOTOR about them, I think. Certainly, they've borrowed a lot from her depiction of Mandalorians, from the nomadic, clan-structured society to the significance of the different colors on their armor to bits of her Mandalorian language like the word "Beskar" for Mandalorian Iron and the importance of the metal to their culture and the plot-point about the Empire hoarding much of the known supply during the Galactic Civil War era (the "never show your face" thing seems to have been swiped from the EU Tusken Raider culture, though).
One detail I found particularly interesting was that Paz Vizsla/Heavy Infantry Mando has a kama (or "belt-spat") incorporated into his armor, apparently to protect the back of his legs from the exhaust from his rocketpack, exactly as Traviss described that particular item of Mandalorian garb all those years ago...
I've just started watching the episodes thanks to our pirate heroes in-thread, and it is indeed pretty sickening to compare The Mandalorian, which appears to have been made by people who actually like Star Wars, with the main-line Disney product. I mean, you're handed the world's most lucrative multimedia franchise, an almost literal license to print money, and you then proceed to drive it into the ground out of...what? Spite? Egomania? The arrogance to believe that you could turn the Galaxy Far, Far Away into yet another Disney Princess brand and the boys would still line up to throw their money at you out of Pavlovian brand loyalty? It honestly boggles the mind...

Ooh I like the addition of a turret. It gives it an actual purpose on a battlefield, instead of just being an oversized jeep for 2 people. (Or infinitely worse, a clown-world soldier catapult.)
For some reason the only angle it looks good in is the video thumbnail. The car-based interior makes me vomit, fuck cars, the cockpit should look like an airplane and have grime and coffee-stains everywhere. Rating: boring/10. Scrap it completely and replace it with a ripoff of a sidewinder from Elite Dangerous.
>or even his dreaded Knights of Ren to root out malcontents and crush spirits.
Wow, those 6 Knights of Ren must be pretty busy people since it's their job to pacify A GALACTIC EMPIRE.
He should have posted scans of every page on Kiwifarms.

JJ probably thought he could rip off WH40K as well replacing space marines with his donut steals.

The fact these films are tarnishing the brand way more than that shitty holiday special and Jar Jar, tells you how passionless these series of films have been. Thank god for The Mandalorian, but the fact it's force to fit with the nu-trilogy is really depressing. I am actually begging for a cop-out ending like it's all a dream, a simulation or a shitty story someone made-up because they had beef with Luke, then the Rey skywalker shit were getting. The only way I can see these films being retconned is if these films flop.
I implore anyone who still wants to see it, just pirate it in anyway they can, like just go buy money on another movie at the movie theater and sneak in to see it. Or watch a torrent. Just don't give it any money. Speak with your wallet!
