Having just watched that fairly epic takedown of butthurt SW fanbois by Freddie Prinze Jr, I can say that I find that theory to be sort of poppycock.
(Speaking of: The only thing I disagreed with in FPJ's rantgasm is the notion that Luke is/was not a 'gray' Jedi. He ultimately turned to the light, but showed he had the urge to succumb to the Dark Side when pushed, not once but twice, and the second time solidified his apprentice's turn to the Dark. To me, that's what makes him - as a character - such a great hero, and I call that 'gray'. That might not be the canonical Pablo Hidalgo term for it, but it works for me. Otherwise, FPJ was on point.)

Thought the first episode was awesome, though the music came dangerously close to being too much.

I watched the first episode and enjoyed it.

Disagree. The music was one of the best parts and perfectly fit the tone. It wouldn't have been as good if it were the typical orchestral Star Wars music.Source of the post though the music came dangerously close to being too much.

I actually agree with both of you here. The music was an absolute highlight; it sounded like what Ennio Morricone would've written for The Good, The Bad & The Ugly if he had a Roland Jupiter available to him instead of an ocarina to make the coyote hoot noise. But it was very much skirting the line of being too on the nose.

I saw the Ludwig Goransson name during the credits and thought it sounded familiar, but couldn't place it. Later that night I was watching Community and saw it pop up again for the work on there. Looked it up and was surprised to see he did Creed and Black Panther as well as a lot of stuff for Childish Gambino which explains the Community connection. I could see being a little on the nose, during I think it was the Blurg scene, it sounded note for note with The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Still enjoyed everything about that first episode.Source of the post I actually agree with both of you here.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the music. I just don't need it CONSTANTLY. Let's hear some ambiance. The wind whipping down that frozen ass planet or the remote near silence of wherever the green middle aged baby was hiding.What's this now?Source of the post fairly epic takedown of butthurt SW fanbois by Freddie Prinze Jr

So the Mando episodes are going to be well under an hour? Ep 2 is 32 minutes (haven't watched it yet). Gift horse in the mouth and all that, but I would've thought they would be in the hour long range.

Finally something about the show I don't like. Wonder why they went that route? 1st was 38 minutes I think. At least it will make things easier for when I keep rewatching leading up to the new episode.So the Mando episodes are going to be well under an hour? Ep 2 is 32 minutes (haven't watched it yet).

That's disappointing. I wasn't thrilled with the length of the first episode and somehow this one is shorter?
Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)
Eh I'd rather it be a tight 30-40 minutes than a drawn out 60 minutes. Longer doesn't equal better.

I'd rather it be longer than an episode of This Is Us.

This is Us is not a good example of a show where its long runtime is a good thing.

Yeah, network shows have too many episodes (22-23) and **** gets drawn out. This is Us is a perfect example of that. I peaced out early in the Vietnam flashback season. Really liked the first season.
Yeah, I think 40-50 minutes would be good. But probably not feasible budget wise maybe? If there are a lot of sfx battles coming up that is. But no need to bloat them like GoT's last few seasons.

Forgotten Weapons is a great channel, if you're into that sort of thing. (Which I am.)
An season of Mando will be roughly 240 minutes of storytelling, plus or minus. That's roughly like 2-3 feature films worth of SW. I'm good with that.

Mando Ep2....... yup, fired up, ready to go. Good stuff.

Had to watch it twice because it was hard to hear over "i can't stand it, he's so cute " during the entire episode. Can't believe we are getting this story. So good
