I like it so far...however...really unsure there is enough content I havent seen to keep this service.  Maybe.

Just do what everyone else does and sign up for the free period when the show is finished releasing or cancel till then.. There’s a reason they are keeping it at 1 episode release at a time. When there’s only 1 piece of content gotta do something to get people to pay.

Agreed, I personally dont like what Disney is doing to Star Wars but this show is somewhat of an exception.  At least this is good.  The 4 billion price tag is starting to look really cheap with the amazing amount of money grabs Disney is deploying.

I like it, but it feels like it's only 30 minutes because they were too lazy to create actual characters and write dialogue.  It doesn't feel like a tv show, it feels like a movie that's been cut in to bit sized morsels. 

That's actually why a lot of people who are into Star Wars lore enjoy the show. Mandos aren't supposed to say much. I give the writers credit for being able  to move the plot forward without much dialogue.

I hope I don't get crushed here, but I'm going to try and give an honest opinion of the show.

It's enjoyable to watch, but it's not the best thing I've ever seen. I don't geek out over Star Wars, but I do enjoy watching SW-related things. That might be why I'm not as into it.

Some things really annoy me, but from a directorial (?) standpoint. For instance, they did the whole "I'm going to learn to ride this animal after two tries because my ancestors did it!" and when they attacked the base in the first episode...there were what seemed like 30+ people, the robot did most of the work, and when he finally gets on the big gun, he takes out 3 people and it's done. Eh... maybe I'm too critical, but stuff like that gets to me. Don't even get me started about the cheesy fly-by salute from the bigger Mando at the end of Ep. 3. 

Like I said in my earlier post, the writers are doing a phenomenal job of moving the plot forward with very little dialogue and the settings/props they're using are awesome. I enjoying seeing something different (I don't agree with the earlier poster who said the story is the same). Like another poster said, I don't want this to turn into a cat 'n mouse type story; I'm interested to see if they move in that direction. I'm hoping they don't. I'll continue watching it for sure.

Oh, I do like the RPG style of building his armor, but I'm a little sad that he has the entire set already. P.S. Those scenes of them crafting the armor were a bit cheesy, too.

Don't hate me. Convince me why I'm wrong :)

You’re not wrong, you’re just not looking at it the way it’s intended. It’s myth, not a police procedural. It’s visual storytelling, not a plot heavy drama. It’s mood and attitude. Think of the first 20 minutes of Star Wars. Hardly any dialog but the visuals and music told you all you needed to know.

Let's be honest, the AT-ST is the dumbest vehicle in the history of movies.     Here they are fighting these raiders and are afraid of this machine when they can just put ropes around the trees and watch it trip over itself to the ground.       Those things always cracked me up on Star Wars.

They’re no problem against trained soldiers. However, unarmed villagers, facing a bunch of armed raiders on foot, backed up by that thing, would have a hard time, even if they got it on the ground. 

4th Episode was basically a Star Wars themed mash up of Shane/Three Amigos, and it was great.

It was Seven Samurai...except with just two samurai. With the villagers in a rice paddy using spears, it almost went past paying homage. The scene with the farmers coming to barter for aid with their meager harvest was taken almost verbatim. 

It was very appropriate to do an homage to a Japanese film about samurai, also known as a "jidaigeki" (where Lucas got the word "jedi" from).

But I really liked this episode! I was so happy to see them take a break from the A plot to tell a one-off adventure. Hope to see more like it! Got my head spinning over what other genre I'd like to see them homage. 

My dream would be a "mystery on a train" movie. Check out the plot to Shanghai Express and tell me that wouldn't make perfect sense in the Star Wars universe.

I gotta be honest, I don't like this show much. The originality is lacking, as it is with some of the newer movies. And the writing honestly is almost Xena Warrior Princess level. I will give it a shot until it ends but I am highly skeptical through 4 episodes. 

For reference, the newest trilogy is palatable but largely just glorified remakes, Rogue One is possibly the best Star Wars movie ever made, and I liked Solo quite a bit too. 

I suspect Disney will make a lot of pretty terrible and unoriginal Star Wars content but with their over saturation you might see some really great things creep in. It's going to be a rough slog through all the fuging awfulness they are going to pump out.

    • For as much as fans complained about a lack of depth all around last year, we also have way more than I anticipated complaining about a depth youngish swing tackle getting inked. Can’t have it both ways. It is what it is….a depth signing that can start well in a pinch. He’s not replacing any of the starters long-term. 
    • Everybody knows why Health is like that, however there isn't much doubt that it is. That wasn't the first time I've seen that problem. The concept wasn't that they're passionate relative to doing this. It situation is really artificial and partially maintained by doing it. That was remarkable information. This stale saying had simply gotten far out of hand at this time. Lucky for you I just occur to be pretty good at using this. https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/590f00b7-5bfb-4476-95cc-a9a532d9082e https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/6c4dfdd6-ea60-43c0-a078-e6ee33e0df16 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/90d78070-25e1-430b-8968-3977e228528d https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/423337ec-b753-4cae-9677-23b8e6dc999e https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/92c84652-6ce1-44d7-bb69-8ff451a23376 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/719eeb77-94c1-4a25-be1d-c28fb2fcf8f4 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/7450a046-b6a6-4d3f-8f4f-58716999f6ac https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/ff797a67-e1b6-4d01-9eaf-257d06f17fe7 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/1a4a6f1f-bb11-4108-b835-c0c2527ed3e0 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/0e5f4e3b-2603-4a8e-87f0-fe56e6290f4b https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/98f9b85e-942d-4a6b-8a6d-71767373da37 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/577be84c-166c-42e2-a363-7a495142dba4 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/c3b3968a-0491-40c4-9b7a-c6e5013db51b https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/be9029fd-4c87-42cd-bb99-1cc3bc61123c https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/c9e57a6d-08b5-46b1-bb36-0ec19efb036b https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/2edd6da9-890e-479f-82db-98cffedd6a34 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/68db7b44-1a80-4f19-9ff2-a6734fefc844 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/1229f1da-5755-4c81-94ca-1f895457d648 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/55cb6008-5684-4c85-ae3f-aa4a9b6c0225 https://www.myrtlebeastocr.com/group/gear-accessories/discussion/190d2b33-3a20-4fb6-9950-9330026fe83f  
    • My theory is BC is going to be the RT when the Panthers move on from Moton next season. I think he’s just going to be the “next guy” up this year for whatever position needs filled.
