Stoney Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Loved the original Star Wars, not so much the prequels. I’m not watching the Disney girl power Star Wars. Should I skip the Mandalorian or give it a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 From what I've seen I'd give it a try. I don't have netflix, but I hope to watch it on YouTube. If it doesn't grab me after two episodes then I'm done. I have liked watching some of the Kobra Kai on netflix, and it's still as cheesy as The Karate Kid was.

It's got the same rough "lived in" feel. It doesn't hit you over the head with the story, but the action unfolds gradually. Minimal dialogue and exposition. Not all fancy bells and whistles and magical Mary Sues. Basically a Sergio Leone spaghetti western in space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some strong space western vibes but none of “The Force” goofiness to get in the way of it so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's similar to if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move a mountain or a X-Wing out the swamp on Dagobah. I have seen how faith works much as the force does. So I don't see it as hokey or goofy. I've been seeing a lot of stuff about the Baby Yoda, but he has a race, and Yoda doesn't. So the force may come into play later. I haven't yet decided to purchase Disney Plus, because of their disclaimers on old Disney movies that they have made for the PC crowd. I watch movies for entertainment, and not how a race or people are depicted in the movie. I have seen evil on both sides, and those stereotypes do not concern me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I caught up with all 4 episodes that are out. I honestly don’t know where this story is leading. I mean I like it but I’m curious to see what the big picture is going to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't felt this kind of anxious mystery about the saga since I was a kid. Who even is the Mandalorian? What is the new Imperial guy's game? Why do they want Baby Yoda so bad? How is Mando gonna escape not only the countless stream of bounty hunters now chasing him, but the big baddie behind the scenes (because there always is one)? It's all very intriguing, and I too can only wonder how it's gonna come together. That's worth the pittance that Disney+ costs, if nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got enough bits and pieces to move the story along but they haven’t come out full bore with the whole story. That’s a refreshing take on a story. Nowadays you would know in the whole first five minutes that this is the bad guy, this is the good guy and here’s the plot. There’s so many ways that this story could go. You have the Empire. You have the Force. Is it that epic or is it something smaller in scope? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hillarious. I hate him back in the 80's. It seemed like he was the bully in almost every teen flick back then. Some of those movies were "Just One of the Guys", "European Vacation" , and "Back to School". Then it seemed like he fell off the screen in the 90's. I just looked him up, and people would hassle him in public, because of his screen characters. He has a 2nd degree black belt in Tang Soo Do.

He's pretty empathetic in cobra kai, at least to me. Yes, he was the poster child for bullies back in the 80's, but in cobra kai he's the one helping to teach kids who have been bullied how to fight back, at least thus far. Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread, I just started watching cobra kai the other day and love it. Edited December 15, 2019 by DAWG91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
