New Poster for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu"
Has anyone else fallen out of love with Star Wars? Don’t want to be a downer, but serious question. Maybe it was about “what it could have been?” But also clone wars tv shows felt right from someone growing up with episode 4-6 and seeing 1-3 in theaters as a teenager was cool.
I'm with you. I can't believe how many shows, movies and everything that are out there. I just don't really care anymore.
I still enjoy the originals and some parts of the prequels, but Disney has done their thing and made it into a Disney universe.
I'm with this guy.
I had read almost every Star Wars novel on the planet, even the bad ones. I had played almost every Star Wars video game on the planet, even the bad ones. My understanding of Star Wars was that it's a vast universe that enables the telling of all kinds of stories with slight magical and/or sci fi twists.
When they announced that all those stories would be thrown away to make space for new ones I was slightly perturbed but was open to seeing what they'd do with it. After all they had plenty of examples to show them what not to do.
Then they released a somewhat enjoyable movie with an imperial war lord (again) being controlled by some dark Jedi (again) using an even bigger deadlier superweapon (again). And they paired that up with an incomprehensible political landscape that makes absolutely no sense other than to press the good guys into an underdog role (again).
Still, the movie was somewhat enjoyable. So I was ready to see what they had in store to tie all of that together. And then The Last Jedi showed that they had absolutely nothing in store. Nobody had thought of anything beyond that one movie. It was just a disjointed mess of wouldn't it be cool if.
The last one just cemented that feeling. I didn't even bother to watch that one in theatre which turned out to be a good decision. They had thrown away thousands of pages of material to give us this mess. And they didn't even acknowledge any wrongdoings.
I watched the side stuff. The Mandalorian season 1 could still live outside of the rest of Disney. But with season 2 ever more connections crept in.
I got so sick and tired of being reminded of what they had destroyed I couldn't even enjoy the good stuff. I gave up on Star Wars. I'll just play Jedi Knight, KOTOR and TIE Fighter forever.
I was a massive Star Wars fan but the prequels dampened my spirit a bit.
Force Awakens, which is basically Star Wars Greatest Hits album, I really enjoyed but episodes 8 and 9 disappointed.
It felt like, well it shows, they had no plan for the trilogy. Abrams makes up a story and then Rian Johnson has to figure out how to continue it etc.
Then we all thought that Mandalorian was going to be the coolest TV show ever and then they introduced Grogu. You obviously can't expect Disney to pander to 40 something year old nerds exclusively but I can't deny it was disappointing.
Obi-Wan show was a story that didn't really need to exist and felt like fan pleasing.
Boba Fett was fan pleasing onto a whole new level and then turned into Mando season 2.5.
I couldn't get into Ashoka, the Acolyte was really disappointing and Skeleton Crew was basically Star Wars Goonies but was really enjoyable.
I'm hoping the Ryan Gosling film turns out to be good. I wish wish we had the Rogue Squadron film as well.
More content set in the Star Wars universe that isn't connected to stories we've already had please.
Andor andor andor. It's soo good, and with so little fan service it's very surprising coming from Disney.
You took it a step further than I did. I saw 7-9, the first two seasons of Mandalorian and rebels. It was too much and saw the signs to just stop, but kept hoping. Rogue One was the hope in the right direction.
Star Wars is only good anymore when it's just a story wrapped in Star Wars paper. Andor: WW2 spy thriller. Skeleton Crew: Goonies knockoff. Disney has no goddamn clue what to do with their IP, and that includes Marvel. The best Marvel movies are not about superheroes.
Ah soulless, just the way I like my manufactured corporate sentiment.
“Sentiment”
This looks like a parody.
Yeah, clicked through to the comments to see if it’s real.
We’re clearly in the tail end of the value extraction phase.
Does anyone actually give the slightest shit about Grogu?
Shut your mouth, Baby Yoda is adorable.
Shhhh don't hurt the little shit's feelings. It doesn't know it's in a shitty productions and it's made up...
The stylisation of the title lends itself to pulp-adventure stories, as if an old-timey radio announcer was about to tell you what happened “Last Time on… THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU!”.
The poster that this logo is on looks like a grey mush.
They don’t know what they want this movie to be. It is going to be mush.
Really can't believe they didn't come up with a better title
I'll probably see this but watching the trailer, it just doesn't feel like a film. It looks like expensive TV footage.
Honestly, Grogu is the worst thing about the Mandalorian...
Yeah I was so looking forward to a bounty hunter show, somehow they made 2 shows with bounty hunters without bounty hunting..
I've been saying this for a very long time but this show always seems to remind me something done a while back:
Did that kid genocide some frog people for giggles too?
Ok, May 21st? They couldn't push for May 4th?
When they threw away ALL of the extended lore and stories and then later said "we can't write good stories cuz we have no source material to use" was when I knew that star wars was truly dead. Not to say there aren't gems here and there. As a whole, the star wars we loved and grew up with, no longer exists.
Man. The only reason to watch this might be Pedro. Maybe. Grogu is rapidly approaching Minion level.
Does anyone else find it bland, washed out, and upsettingly unbalanced?
Maybe it's the bloom, but there's this contrast in relative crispness that make the end result seem like a digital hand painting added to a photo.
All i could think of when they announced this…Movie is…
The movie that looks like a tv show
The Star Wars Mandalorian and Grogu
Neat detail of an Imperial Walker being reflected on the bottom-right of Djarin’s helmet.
It feels like this movie is coming too late and has missed the boat for the fans who enjoyed the show. I don't even remember most of it now and I long since removed it all from my Plex server.
It doesn’t help that the last season was terrible.
Fun western styled isolated adventures? No! Epic tie in to all the rest of the dumb new SW storyline!
I loved the first season and really enjoyed the second. Then fired up the third only to discover that a chunk of related action had taken place in a whole other show, and that was the point at which I gave up on caring about anything Disney have their hands on. I won't be made to do homework just so I can enjoy a fucking TV show.
The only exception was Andor, because Rogue One was top notch and I wanted to see how they got to it.
You remove things from your Plex server?!
Not all of us have infinite space for stuff.
You’re right, we all died.
