Spoilers The Mandalorian | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12

This episode was a good example of simple, entertaining fun. Like A New Hope.

God I'm going to get killed for that one.........
 
I was underwhelmed by this episode and I continue to wonder what the point of this show is other than being a nostalgia-fest.

For a show with only 8 episodes, they sure are devoting a lot of time to stand alone stories.

FANS: We want stuff that reminds us of the old times
Disney: *makes stuff like the old times*
FANS: *cry in outrage*

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Stop thinking of the OT as the invention of something brilliant. As amazing as it was, it was a re-hash of old stories in a new lick of paint. If that's your problem with The Mandalorian....... I think you get my point.

I’m not one of those fans who only loves the OT though.

My biggest problem with The Mandalorian is that there isn’t an interesting ongoing storyline. The last 3 episodes have been completely stand alone (at least they appear to be stand alone). And they’ve all been stories done to death on other sci fi shows.

I'm going to wait till it finishes it's run before I rule them 100% stand alone........I have a feeling they have been dropping some bread crumbs along the way. Of course there are so many armchair writers/directors online that just KNOW this isn't REAL STAAR WARS.

That is what sells right now, so that is the point is to engage in the nostalgia, why dropping in smaller bits of new stuff.

With so much crying and handwringing (it may not be the majority but it is quite loud) Lucasfilm is not going to run out and take big risks. Why would they? What reward is there for them to take a risk?

Fans: I want a story line that's gonna last several seasons!!!
Disney: *a few episodes in....*
Fans: *cry in outrage*

Long term satisfaction against instant gratification.
AKA.... be patient
 
Why I like Rebels and clone Wars the best.. Took chances, told a deeper story.
With mando
While I like the fan wanking, and the show in general, some payoffs would be nice.

Good shows don't "wait around" for payoff, they're always good.
 
Well, something like babylon 5, they posed questions, but didn't let them linger till the end of season, they asked questions, then answered them, then asked new ones.
Maybe just telling baby, hey, we're going to planet X but we need some monies.. So we need a few jobs.. Guess A bit more exposition on whats going on, or an end of episode saying it..
