WOW! Okay, I still hate the sequels, but I'm starting to love Disney again.

| I liked the ending. Particularly when Baby Yoda looked at the scene and closed up his carrier. He was smart enough to realize the stuff's about to fly and hit the fan. He didn't want to see it or be hit. |

There are some rumors that this rainy, water planet is Mon Calamari. Quite possible, IMO, as in this "fisherman town" at 0:47 most of species are Quarrens and Mon Cals.
1:25 - personal shields?

Which, incidentally, irritates the hell out of me because Starkiller Base is apparently built on the hollowed-out world of Ilum. Which is yet more of Disney's insistent and continual focus on iconoclastically destroying everything preceding.
Beyond that, I wish I could be positive about the series but given how half the cast is made up of transphobes, I'm kinda feeling hesitant. |

Thank you!
But they did already harvest all the magic crystals from Jedha for the Death Star, so how else does a First Order make a hyperlight weapon planet?

They could use the method of, you know.
Not doing that at all and doing something more original.
Honestly the whole Sequel Trilogy just bugs the hell out of me. I've been listening to the 20th Anniversary audiobooks of the Thrawn Trilogy lately and for all the missteps the 'Legends' version of things is just so much better overall. |

We are rewatching the show to refresh our memories before Season 2. Last night we watched Episode 3 where the other Mandalorians help Mando escape with The Child. This is the way. Anyone watch the series more than once already?
I ordered a 3.75" scale action figure of Mando that is on the way. Unfortunately he doesn't come with a tiny repulsorpod with The Child. I figured that like Babu Frik, The Child is so small you would have to get a 6" scale figure to get The Child with it. But no, the 6" Mando also doesn't come with The Child either. The reason is because they are selling The Child in the Black Series 6" scale as a separate figure, which means he is only about 1". He retails for $10. I had decided I wasn't going to buy one, but tonight I went to the grocery store and they surprisingly had a handful of them on the shelf for $7-something. I said screw it and bought one. It's staying in the little box for my collection - The only other figures he is to scale with in my collection is the 6" Threepio with Babu Frik. I'm still not buying the 6" Mando figure, so when when 3.75" Mando comes I will just throw him in the action figure tote too and be done with it.
Even if Season 2 gets sucky with undead Palpatine, Snoke, the First Order, and "Anakin's padawan," at least Season 1 was good. But hopefully S2 will be good anyway even if it has all that stuff. When I watch season 1, I view it as it's own entity distinct from the rest of the franchise. Hopefully I will be able to keep doing that.

My wife and I watched The Mandalorian last week, and then decided we should watch Star Trek: The Next Generation from the beginning while we wait for the next season of Mando.

My kids and I watched it first run, then watched it a second time early in the covid lockdowns, and we just watched it again this week to prepare for season 2.
Other than episode 6 I really liked it.

We watched Chapter 7 tonight.
| Quote: | | Mando: He's not a local warlord. He's Imperial. |
This confused me because I thought that local warlords were Imperials so I read up on Wookieepedia about the DU's Imperial Remnants and Mandalorians.
So it would seem that sometime after Star Wars Rebels, there was a "Great Purge" of the Mandalorians by the Empire, which involved Moff Gideon. It is most likely that this occurred during the classic trilogy. The Mandalorian people were decimated and scattered. This may be when the surviving Mandalorians adopted the tradition of not removing their helmets, or maybe just at least "The Tribe" of Mandalorians hiding on Nevarro. Also, Mandalorian characters had biological parents, children, siblings in the canon cartoons but I don't remember the canon cartoons having foundlings. "The Way" of the Mandalore also seems continuity newly introduced into the DU through this Disney+ show. Is this stuff from Legends they are porting over into the new canon?
It seems that DU continuity is filing up with post-Jakku Imperial Remnants that refused to follow the peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic, which paints a different picture of the post-RotJ world than TFA Visual Dictionary did. Moff Gideon's Imperial Remnant is one of those remnants.
I'd still like to know who all the non-Imperial "local warlords" were.
