It's great, but 27 minute episodes (8 total) is not cool.    I can't help but feel the bait and switch with subscribers who probably expected a full season like Netflix not an extended movie.   I hope it was just the first week since it was two episodes so we'll see.     Other than that, quality of the show is high.

I had no idea the second episode was so short it felt much longer to me

It really does look and feel like the original Star Wars, and it's great to see the Mandalorian image taken down a notch every time he's getting his butt kicked and needs some assistance. Finding out that Jawas were a galactic problem and not just a Tattooine problem was interesting, but the scenes all around the sandcrawler were a geek dream come true. The episodes are short but so full of detail you can watch then a couple more times and still enjoy them.

Man, I am LOVING it!  I'm watching the episodes multiple time and picking up new details.  There is so much depth in each scene.  Like looking at the costumes, the tools, the atmosphere.  It's such a great show!

I like that it's a pretty simple premise - Bounty Hunting.  Then you add the first big surprise, and it's not an immediate change, it's going to be gradual.  I am having so much fun because there's not the bloat and filler you get in many shows.  They just GO which is great!

I've only just started but I'm very happy. They did exactly what I hoped they would do but never imagined they would have the balls to do. They didn't make a "Star Wars" show, they made a show set in the Star Wars universe that explores a different part of it within the format of a different genre. If it weren't for the odd Gonk droid or R2 unit popping into frame, it could be any SciFi universe.

Mandalorian is a Western set in space, which is just amazing. I love genre-blending, and if you're making a show that pays homage to Boba Fett, it simply HAS to be a western. Boba Fett was based on the Man with No Name, and Ben Burtt, the Star Wars sound designer, added the sound of Spurs Jangling when he walked in the Cloud City scenes.

So a story of a lone gunslinger getting into adventures in the seedy frontiers of the Star Wars universe is exactly what the show needed to be.

And I can't believe that's exactly what the show is.

I got little kid chills watching the first episode. Can't wait to see more!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
