I don’t even want it to be Luke. This is a new series, a new area of the universe. Give me new or different people. Stop going back to the Skywalkers. There are other stories to be had. Make even a Jedi I’ve never heard of.

I am of the same - really don't want any Skywalkers in this. I would be ok with a new Jedi though I do think there are enough obscure ones that are already known to have survived Order 66 that you can use one of them

Loved reading everyone's thoughts on the episode. Thanks, guys!

I too really don’t want it to be Luke. The only reasons I would want to see him is to see a CGI de-aged Mark Hamill and personally I would like to see him semi-redeemed from the crotchety old man he was in The Last Jedi. He was such a HUGE part of the Legends EU it would be nice to see him have a role, but I would only want it to be a small cameo in the finale and not carry over. Whereas if they introduce a new Jedi or an obscure one, they could have that one join the team going forward.

Forgive me if someone mentioned it but I’ve seen some rumblings that the next Jedi we get is Cal Kestis in his first non-video game appearance.

It was ok. I'm not a huge fan of the actress that plays the fairy godmother which is part of it. For me I find her comedic acting too slap stick and over the top. Didn't like her in 22 jump street but really enjoyed her in Brittany runs a marathon but it was a bit of a different role. Fun story and after the first 15 to 20 min it was better for me.

Isla Fisher's accent was all over the place which was odd from other stuff I've seen her in and also distracting.

It's worth a watch but is def a d+ movie like Noelle was last year. Better than Disney channel but not as good as theatre. About equal to one of hallmark channels good christmas movies. So good story with a message but tied up a little too quick and easily at the end.

Just finished Godmothered and we loved it. Thought it was cute and funny - easy watching! We are currently watching Mulan right now. There are some decent moments so far. It isn't living up to what I was hoping it would be, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

So I watched Godmothered - sorry to say I wasn't a fan. It felt like they were going for Enchanted type charm, but really missed the mark.

I may try Mulan tonight, but I'm not sure it will keep my interest.

I'll also try the suggestion of Christmas Chronicles.

Or I'll just watch some really bad horror films from the 60's....

If you like horror and looking for Christmas movies I'd recommend Anna and the Apocalypse on Hulu if you have it. It's a good, fun movie that's different. It's a Christmas zombie musical comedy.

Highly recommend this - one of my favorite. A lot of the songs are brilliant

If it were Luke, it’s not like he’d become a series regular. It would be 1 episode. Pops in, tells Mando he can’t help, but tells him another planet that might have someone or something that can, end of episode. I just think it would be weird that he’s out there, he would definitely sense the call from Grogu, roll over in bed and say “eh, someone else will answer”

 

[Mit88]

I would also recommend Jingle Jangle - very fun movie, good songs and good show numbers

After watching this last night, I would like to 2nd this recommendation. What a fantastic movie

You don’t do that for one episode. Whoever it is will have an impact on the series. This is why I don’t think it would be Luke. I think they’d be rather dumb to do that.

I have the opposite opinion. Putting a Jedi into a show with regular fighters kind of neuters those fighters. Mando won't even have to do anything, just stand aside and let new Jedi handle everything.

I don't think whatever Jedi answers will join the regular cast.

I’m not saying that Jedi will but at the same time I don’t think it’s a one time thing either. I just really believe they would be doing a disservice to the universe by going with Luke. This show expands the universe and gives new breath, move on from the skywalkers. Ahsoka certainly will return. You don’t cast Rosario Dawson for one episode.

I'm really torn because in a lot of ways it would make the most sense for it to be Luke as we know at this point he is out searching for students and hasn't started his academy yet but would be the one most attuned to "hearing" a call

but I really don't want the Skywalkers in this and also just don't know how they do it with Luke - like he can't become a series regular but what does he do - show up, help them out and then take Grogu to train him? Guess I am trying to figure out how this goes back to being focused on Mando and Grogu for season 3 if Luke shows up.

If it is another force sensitive person that is maybe not as skilled that could make more sense as that individual and Grogu kid of train each other as they go along and then you get sort of the "triangle" with Mando and this new person vying for Grogu's affections, etc.

In the end, it is super fun to speculate and theorize but I do trust Filoni so am also just going to go along for the ride

I don’t necessarily want it to be Luke. I just think he’s the most obvious of who it should be for a number of reasons, some of which you explain here. Expanding the universe getting to know new Jedi would best for the show and the Star Wars universe.

Has anyone watched Godmothered?

I'm less than 20 minutes in and I am already disappointed.
It goes wrong in the first minute when they use Mozart's Queen of the Night aria. This song is about revenge, death and disowning. That's what we start off this light-hearted Disney romcom with?

Enchanted did so much better.

I don't have much hope for the other 1:25 hours.

I wouldn't consider it a romcom at all.

I'm now about 30 minutes in and I'm not sure what I am watching. The trailer looked like a kind of romcom.

Giselle in Enchanted was charming and funny in her trying to understand the new world. Eleanor is an idiot.
In one scene she refers to drugs needles as knitting needles, as if she doesn't understand what kind of needles they are. In the next scene she knows what a needle for medical purposes is. There must be at least one deleted scene explaining what is going on in her head, maybe more.

No clue. I didn't compare it to another movie and also didn't pay that close attention to see the issues. I watched it while I was working because I knew it was a movie I didn't want to waste time with.
