[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

To be fair, one spend decades in the desert sun, and the other got eaten by a Sarlacc, the spent years in same desert...
I'm so glad the Potter threesome seem to have made it through Hollywood Kid Hell in good shape. Daniel just gives off hoopy frood vibes.
You know that did not need to be posted...

Aw man, Tumblr and Twitter are never going to shut up about how problematic Rosario Dawson is.
A quick scan shows Twitter to be mostly positive.
Burr wasn't the worst thing in that first episode of his. The two Twileks were overdoing it way too much.
I think it has a lot to do with who is in charge. The latest trilogy just lacked a clear vision of what it should be from start to end, and I don’t think had someone in charge who truly knew and loved the Star Wars universe to guide it.
The movies do lack the time to really flesh out the characters though. I was never much of a Star Wars fan until I watched he The Clone Wars. The characters all felt boring and hollow.
I thought they had established when this series took place in the Star Wars timeline during the first season?
In any case,

I thought Mace was dead by this point? When they had Grogu reach out 2 episodes back, we (as in my household) pointed out the only Jedi we could think of at the point in time was Ashoka, Ezra, or Luke. Or possbily Rowan? I'm still haven't seen the end of Freemaker yet.
I don’t think they’ve ever definitively said he’s dead at any point. He was thrown out the window in episode 3, but jedis are like cats. They always seem to land on their feet.
There is an on-going theory that Mace Windu didn't die during his fight with the Emperor, because we never see his body. It's mostly wishful thinking.
My two cents? It should have been Ezra or maybe even Kyle Katarn.

Character-wise, I doubt Mace Windu would have kept himself hidden all this time. But then again, Yoda did. It's Star Wars, so they could justify anything... oh, hey there, Boba!
I think Ezra or Kyle would have been more budget-friendly, but part of me is excited they put in the extra $$$ to bring in the big gun. There was a lot of cheering here.

My guess is Ezra will be saved for the Ashoka series.
Cal Kestis would have been another possibility for the Jedi, especially since his character's appearance is based on Cameron Monaghan, so they'd just have to age him up for Mandalorian.
Cere Junda saved a group of younglings. So she could have been the one to save Grogu during Order 66.

I would have preferred if they cast Sebastian Stan instead of using the deep fake.
Welp, finished the finale. What utter, tripe, bullshit. There was one particular thing I loved about The Mandalorian (I'll say in the spoilers) and they shat all over that. If there's more of that in Season 3, I'm out. I'm already pissed enough I don't think I'll bother.
See, the one thing I liked about the show is it was entirely separate from the Skywalker saga movies. It's a big universe. There's absolutely no reason why literally everything has to tie back to the Skywalkers. But no. They can't even do that. They have to have a fucking cameo with Mark Hamil, with some the worst - even by TV standards - de-aging effects. I was so angry at his appearance that I didn't even care about Grogu's send-off.
I barely minded tying it in with The Clone Wars cartoon because they didn't really explain why the Dark Saber was so important. I didn't even know Bo Katan was in the original cartoon. I didn't give a shit about Boba Fett coming back and I sure as hell don't give a shit about his teased spin-off.

Great series, great finale. I'm interested in what was teased post-credits, too.
That picture going around of Stan as Luke was already altered to look more like Luke, so it's kind of already a deepfake.
I totally get your feelings on Luke showing up. I'd rather they would have left it with Ahsoka saying "He's too attached, it turned out poorly with the last Jedi with attachment issues, he can't become a Jedi." and then Grogu becomes a Mandalorian when he grows up. Leave the Jedi stuff alone and focus on Mandalorians (there is a lot of Mandalorian history and culture to fill out multiple storylines).
I doubt they'd have de-aged Mark Hamill show up a lot, so I'm guessing Luke is going to discover the same thing, maybe give him a little training to learn control, then he'll be back with Dad. Maybe as a couple training scenes here and there to keep up with where Grogu is at while Din deals with being the new Mand'alor. I don't see how Grogu could stay with Luke, unless they're going to ignore the sequels exist. (Not a bad idea...) Unless they're going to follow through with Grogu getting killed with the rest of the students by Kylo Ren in the future, which would suck. Of course, if that had happened, Kylo wouldn't be around for long and there wouldn't have been any sequels, because Din would have hunted him down and murderized him!

It was awesome!
I've mentioned before we are binging Rebels and Clone Wars because I watched them sporadically and my husband and son didn't see them originally. I also already know how Rebels ends.
Last night, after watching The Mandalorian and scanning the internet for discussions/analysis, Mr.
Z asks me,

Z asks me,
"Hey, how come when everyone is speculating on what Jedi could show up, no one mentions Kanaan?"
"...they probably forgot."
