The Disney SW movies are basically a write off...


... but this show is brilliant! How can the same company be behind both?

Maybe Disney should put Favreau, Chow, and Waititi in charge of the future movies, if there are going to be any.

I'm pretty sure Kathleen Kennedy and her toxic story group aren't meddling with The Mandalorian. That's why.

Yes when you aren’t focused on identity politics and instead focused on your characters the results typically turn out better.

Waititi is a skilled guy, but he's too religious. Better have somebody that it's not pushing the gospel down your throat in every movie.

I enjoyed the force awakens.
Last Jedi was terrible, mainly because Luke dies for no reason (without even fighting or training Rey).
I haven't watched the latest, but have heard that it's average.

Mandalorian on the other hand is several levels above the movies.
Yesterday I watched EP7 and EP8, which are basically an 80 minute movie. Those episodes were fantastic!

IMO, instead of having Rey, The black dude and Oscar Isaacs as the 3 main good guys in the movies, they should've had Rey, Mando and 'Baby' Yoda.

The problem with the 3 movies was that nobody truly cared if the 3 main good guys lived or died and Rey in particular is not likeable. Mando and Baby would definitely address that.

At the end of the 3rd movie, you could have Emporer P vs Rey, Mando and Baby. That would be an insane fight - not on the level of the Endgame final battle (which was off the charts), but certainly a memorable battle.

You state that Rey is not likeable, which I agree with but then keep her for your scenario, I’d rather replace Rey with Gina Carano (Cara) a better likeable actress and character, Mando could be a Skywalker but that’s not revealed til the third movie.

No need to include the Emperor, that just pisses over the OT.
