Reply to comment by jez124 in ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘Skeleton Crew’ Enlists Director David Lowery - The series wrapped production in recent months, however news of who directed is just now coming out, with more expected to be revealed later by Neo2199

I know I’m in the minority, but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of the shows thus far. I would hope it leads to some event movie in the future since the majority of these shows are in the “Mandoverse”

I doubt you’re in the minority, the internet is just a very negative space about most things.

Especially about Star Wars.

yeah, I can’t really talk about SW on r/movies. I’ve made the same comment above but I’d often get some nasty replies

I mean there's probably a reason. The Internet is actually positive is about some things when they like them and they're good.

Take for TV shows, House of The Dragon, The White Lotus, The Bear, Succession, Better Call Saul, The Last of Us... all in the last few months and I have only heard positive things about them.

Still think the animated ones (Clone Wars, Rebels, and now Bad Batch) are even higher in quality, and already in a more "verse" that Mando and those are building on.

Pretty much agreed. I’ve loved Rebels and Bad Batch. They’re some of my favorite Star Wars things. Obi-Wan, Clone Wars, and Mando have been a step down from there but still good. And TBoBF a couple of steps down from there.

Haven’t seen Andor or Resistance yet.

EDIT: May I ask why this is being downvoted? I’m not purposely avoiding Andor if that’s the point of contention, lol!

Andor was amazing.

I’m looking forward to getting around to it!

Stop whatever you're doing and go see it. Unless you're saving people's life, than first save them and bring them to see Andor with you.

Haha, I’m actually working through all the Star Wars content in chronological order, so I’m getting close to Andor!

I'm guessing it's because you put CW on the same level as Obi- Wan 😂

Also definitely watch Andor !

Probably bc most people like Clone Wars way more and put it up there with the pinnacle of Star Wars in general. Most consider Rebels and definitely Bad Batch to be a step down in quality from it. You probably don’t realize how unpopular your opinion there is lol.

It would be like someone saying “I loved Revenge of the Sith. Empire Strikes Back was a bit of a step down from there.” in the eyes of many.

I don’t blame you for liking Rebels more personally. I think Rebels later seasons are actually some of the best animated Star Wars content.

That actually does surprise me. I thought Clone Wars got really good eventually, but the first 3 or 4 seasons felt more hit or miss to me than the show it would eventually become.

Broomguy t1_jed5fhx wrote

Probably being down voted for saying you liked rebels and bad batch more than clone wars and Mando. People hate opinions on Reddit.

Aside from Mandos signature cringy or dragging sequence at least once per an episode, I feel like it's improved a lot this season on overall tone, acting direction, and especially production. It's also tapping into that connective tissue from those shows you liked and seems like it will expand on it in a way that could mitigate some of the damage from the Sequels.

Andor instantly shot up to one of my favorite shows in general and I think some of this season of Mando and The Bad Batch haven't been at odds with it's tone and world building, even if they both have sort of different vibes.

Obi Wan and Book of Boba Fett were huge letdowns for me though.

My dream is the Mandoverse leading up to a new spin on Heir to the Empire.

They keep teasing Thrawn (including just recently in Mando) and he would be the absolute perfect villain for a Star Wars Infinity War/Endgame.

Obviously we can't have the OT characters in their roles in the original books but they've got a good number of new characters to choose from who could fill similar roles.

I have been thinking they'd introduce Thrawn because they keep bringing in Thrawn-like things... but I think they're just going to re-use Moff Gideon instead, after that last episode.

Isn't Thrawn meant to be for the Ashoka show?

Mandoverse has been freaking awesome lately. The more recent episode of The Mandalorian had me excited for so many reasons.

Djamalfna t1_jeek21j wrote

Eh. I just can't bring myself to care about the Mandalorian's stupid helmet religion.

If they'd get away from that and do something more interesting...

I don’t know if they’re the best shows but they sure are fun.

yeah I’m not going to ignore the criticism, but yes, they have been just a joy to watch

geek_of_nature t1_jedx663 wrote

And honestly thats all I want sometimes. Not just in shows but film too. I don't need everything to be a deep exploration of the human experience, sometimes I just want to watch some fun space battles or see some heroes beat up some villains. As long as it's fun and entertaining that's all I needed.
