OT: Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Three

Spoiler

Ahmed Best, the actor that played Jar-Jar, played the Jedi in this episode that saved Grogu

I figured it was that scene but had no idea who it was. Thank you.

I laughed hard when I saw the guest. Good for him.

We've almost finished Andor, finally. What a fantastically solid show. You can make serious Star Wars and do it well. I'm glad it's been done.

Andor really plundered the Chernobyl cast

yeah..i had very low expectations for Andor and really hadn't planned on watching it..but it was really really good

I was shocked to see there were more episodes after the heist. That seemed naturally like it had to be the climax. Nope! We move from a heist plot to a prison break plot. Awesome.

I stopped watching after the heist, I thought it was over. Now it’s been a bit and I feel like I don’t remember what all happened before the heist and can’t get back to it.

My wife and I were talking about how solid the show was and how we couldn't wait for the next season to watch more. Then we backed out and the episode list had something like 6 more episodes. Bonus!

The 2nd half is much better too IMO

episode 5 was really really good...and once more did not expect a certain actor to be in Star Wars

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I can't wait for that "Ahsoka" series. Please don't suck. They cast Ahsoka and Sabine absolutely perfectly.

episode 6 was good..fun romp..with count them 3...1 2 3 ...3 surprise guests stars

The second secret Sanderson book dropped over the weekend. The first one was better, and this one is different than what he normally writes, but it was still enjoyable.

Spoiler: Mando

why did the droid run? Why was there a droid bar? Are droids not just advanced robots that rely on programming to exist?
This episode was all over the damn place. Not a fan of it.

 

[wankstifier]

Sounds like Mando sucks now?

i enjoyed the episode..but it is feeling...like they are all over the place this season..i've enjoyed most of the episodes save one..but the cohesion doesn't feel there ...like i don't see what the end game for the season is

 

[Lord Defect]

I wouldn’t say sucks, but it sure isn’t season 1.

 

[Flybynite]

I wouldn’t say sucks, but it sure isn’t season 1.

It feels like a lot going on is filler and things that could easily be told/explained in an episode are instead dragged out because Disney+ is 'world-building' and has all these other shows that are going to need to have plotlines connected.

@Captain Dave Poulin

What. The. f***?!

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That was f***ing stupid. I hate stunt casting. I hate anthropomorphizing robots.

I hope Mando gave Grogu a good, hard scrubbing with space soap after he was manhandled by that f***ing elephant.

F***'s sake.

I found her performance to be distractingly flat. No pun intended.

Great post. The most ironic "well-rounded" character ever. What a load of absolute shit.

Yeah that episode didn't work for me either. It was all too distracting, and it almost felt like an episode of Scooby-Doo.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I didn't want to upset @Hollywood Cannon.

Reminded me of a noir, but not very well done.

I appreciate your tact and consideration but yeah... that episode was a mess. It seemed like a Taika Waititi Thor crapfest to me.
