    WOW, the best thing to happen to Star Wars, since Star Wars.

    Clearly written by people who have knowledge and reverance for the old
    films and the comic books (which Jar Jar Abrahams and Ruin Johnson
    trashed in favour of doing something different for their films)

    Great cast, including Carl Weathers, Warner Herzog, Nick Nolte and
    others. Filmed very much in the style of those old Westerns, lots of shoot-outs and action.

    Darker in tone than the films, but not excessively so. It still feels
    like Star Wars.

    It's not often I rave about a TV show, but this is quite probably the
    best thing I have seen on TV in years.

    Obviously, this will depend on your view of the original Star Wars
    films, but being a huge sci-fi fan, as well as a horror movie addict, I
    just loved it!!!





    i did enjoy it although some episodes were a little slight with their
    varying length.
    i liked werner turning up though.

    I'd say the best since EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

    Whilst I agree that this show is better than anything with the star wars
    logo on it in decades, i don't get on board with the nerd-rage hatred of
    the post-2010 films. All 5 of them are very watchable, and for my money
    all better than RETURN OF THE JEDI, not to mention being a billion times
    better than the god-awful unwatchable prequel trilogy of shite. With all
    the cinematic war crimes going on these days, i can't get behind a
    complete dismissal of Abrahams and Johnson who are at worst very average filmmakers.

    Yep, feels like an old tv western mixed with LONE WOLF & CUB.

    Alright now you're pushing it. What about LOVE ISLAND?

    For future historians this thread is about the first season of THE
    MANDALORIAN, before the inevitable fall from grace... I'm expecting
    season 3 to have a will-they won't-they love tension between teenage
    Yoda and a Ton-Ton.

    Sci-fi starts and ends with the Italian post-nukers. Everything else is

    OK, you've managed to peak my interest... Still cautious overall, though. Never been a Star Wars fan-boy.

    I've been hearing a lot of good things about the series and look forward
    to renting it once it is out on Bluray.
