Star Wars - The Mandalorian
Discussion
I caught Chapter 6 last night, it was definitely the weaker of the series so far, but I still enjoyed it.
The nods to the films were quite good I thought and quite subtle, with the exception of the Gungan impression, which I thought was quite funny. Seeing the X-Wings was cool, though the fact that they just immediately open fired on the station I thought was odd, though they did say they could see a Gun-ship launching.
Final thought for me was the older guy calling Mando a b
d at the end, Star wars never had "language" in it I don't think, however since Disney took over it's had a bit more, I think there was some in TLJ. I don't know why, but it doesn't sit well with me (and as a ex-sailor I can swear like the best of them). I don't know why it doesn't sit well with me.
However, on the flip side, because this has some slightly more gritty elements to it (though not too many) I hardly noticed it when it initially happened and had to rewind to check.

The X wing bit reminded me of the ending of Das Boot.The nods to the films were quite good I thought and quite subtle, with the exception of the Gungan impression, which I thought was quite funny.

/OT - I thought Giancarlo Esposito was supposed to be in the Mandalorian, but he hasn't cropped yet, the rumour was that he played one of the main antagonists......so far we haven't had a main antagonist really, they've all only lasted a chapter or two.

Chapter 7 - best episode yet - no spoilers - but it has no tie in with the new film as far as i can , even though interwebby suggested otherwise - it did have a little extra clip of the new film at the end if watching on Disney+
Agreed.I don't actually have any problem with some episodes being fillers or weaker. The story has to evolve rather than just being thrust into the meat of it and left wondering who/what/why/where.
and the target practice. Brilliant.
