So this afternoon I was looking at Disney+ and noticed there was a new Gallery episode for season 3 of Mandalorian. I went to watch it and found there was also one for the finale of Season 2. Anyone know if this is fairly new, or did I just miss it? If it’s new, I highly recommend it, as it touches on much of the discussion on this thread.

 

[leiaorgana]

The Season 3 one came out the other week (haven’t had chance to watch it yet because I was on holiday when it came out) and the one for the S2 finale came out last year, I think? Or maybe even the year before? I know they released it a while after the Season 2 one and I thought it was odd at the time that they had one just for the finale but I guess they wanted to spend more time taking about it then trying to cram it all into one hour. There’s one for TBOBF too.

Yeah, I watched that one. Just somehow missed the one for the S2 finale.

OMG those last four episodes, were so amazing, that final scene with Vader and her saber. was so poignant. .. kinda wonder if she could have talked him back, but que sera sera. Just finished all 7 seasons of CW in a first time watch in prep for Ashoka... Now I am onto Rebels and starting season 2 today. I was in grad school and a mom, so no time for fun back then. When they were watching I was studying.

Glad you've found REbels, looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

If you want to watch Rebels Recon after each one, they're still on YouTube. Just be careful as you might get spoiled by other videos. Maybe search by the season you are in.

Been mulling over my top 5, and just too hard, but I have some ideas

Finals scenes of Rogue One, VADER! and the way they recaptured the essense of ep 4

Final episodes of the Clone Wars---wow, so emotional, and brilliant

(CW just increased my appreciation of so many characters, exponentially: Obi Wan, Anakin, Dooku, Maul, but then also introduced Ahsoka, Hondo, Ventress, Nightsisters, and more

Rebels-several episodes stand out: Twilight of the Apprentice, Jedi Night, World between Worlds

Getting to 'fly' the Millenium falcon into hyperspace on Batuu. Wow. dream come true. tears were shed
Used to enjoy Star Wars weekends, and dearly miss those

Boba Fett lives! Mandalorian S2 ep 1, but even better, ep 5-The Tragedy, my favorite episode
I read Tales of the Bounty Hunters back in the 90s, and I dreamed and hoped so, so much that Boba Fett clawed his way out of the Sarlacc, and to finally have it materialize in canon and on screen....wow

Andor-One way out

Many honorable mentions, (Solo, Force Awakens, several episodes of Mando, and some in Obi wan, and Bad Batch as a whole---I could go on and on......but that's it for now)

I cannot wait to ride Smugglers again. I have such a new appreciation of Hondo after watching the Clone Wars. He is my favorite pirate, perhaps ever more so than Captain Jack LOL...

Nightsisters and Mother Talzin were so much fun and my fav bad Grrl... Asajj

There were 8 episodes for the making of season 1 of the Mandalorian, too.

I never liked Boba Fett, but that episode of Mandalorian was SO cool. It was great seeing Temuera Morrison back in action.

And I agree with you about the Falcon. I'm a local and went to a preview of GE, but didn't get to ride as I was pregnant. When I finally went on the ride a few months later, my friends let me be right pilot, and even though I was horrible at flying, nothing beat the sensation of pulling that hyperspace lever. (I also deeply miss Star Wars Weekends.)

One Way Out is definitely the standout episode of Andor.

 

[leiaorgana]

Star Wars Weekends were the best and I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t get to experience them. I remember meeting Jake Lloyd at the first one and it was like a year after TPM came out and so we were both around the same age and we were both blushing when we were speaking with each other cos we were just kids and in the photo I got with him haha

SWW was the only time I got to see Carrie in person so I’ll always treasure that (She’s with Jeremy Bulloch in the first pic)

My husband has motion sickness so he was reluctant to ride, he usually serves as the official bag holder while the rest of us enjoy. I tried to get him onto Smugglers when we first went in NYE 2019-2020, but nope. Tried the next year in 2021.... nope. 2022... also nope. FINALLY this past April i got him onto it... it was so fun seeing his joy at the ride, he loved it (didn't hurt he is a Hondo fan). I think us 70's and 80's kids get an extra kick out of being on the Falcon. I still have my original Falcon playset with the teeny mini figures... well technically my daughter has it now hanging from her celling... love seeing how the next generation also embraced the force.

Finished episode #1 last night, it's a slow burn for sure. I found myself a little disinterested at times, but I am going to stick it out and finish the series. It looks incredible from a visual stand point, I will give you that.

I saw Mark Hamill at SWW in 2014. I skipped work on Friday so I could see him all three days. During one of the parades he pointed at me and I almost died, lol. Then during the Stars of the Saga show my friends and I got seats in the middle section, behind the reserved seats. Well, right before the show, in comes a bunch of people... who I recognize as his family. His sons were sitting directly in front of me (one of them looked EXACTLY like him) and it was all I could do not to pee my pants. I cheered a lot louder than usual during that show, haha.

I also got to know Ashley Eckstein through Star Wars Weekends as we were there every weekend and would make a point to go to the Her Universe area (before it exploded in popularity). She was hosting a show on the hat stage one year and while we were watching, her husband David saw us, said hi, and then came over to watch the show with us. My husband, who loves baseball, later marveled, "how the hell did I get to be on a first name basis with a famous baseball player because of Star Wars???"

I've met Anthony Daniels and David Prowse and have autographs from both when they were both at SDCC in the early to mid 90's. I never got Peter Mayhew due to not wanting to stand in line that long, since it look away from me looking for comic books that I needed.

I miss how SDCC was back then, when artist, creators and actors would sign an autograph book, draw a small drawing or just write something next to their name and not charge for the experience.

you talking about San Diego Comic Con? LOL... wonder if you bought books from my husband. Back then... 1992-96 or so... He worked for Comic Relief in Berkeley and they would always travel to the con.

I could have bought from them back then. Hard to say for sure, but if they had an issue I was looking for at a price I was willing to pay, then good chance I did. I used to go to SDCC between 1989 and 1996 when I was still living in SD. Last time I went back to SDCC was in 2011 and a lot changed between the visits in 1996 and 2011. It went from more Comic Book focused to more media focused and the amount of dealers dropped.

It has been nice seeing how several of our comic store clerks went on to have careers in the industry as artists and writers. We moved back east to Massachusetts in 1996. Lately there have been more comic stores opening near us... and surviving LOL. I think the market is back on a bit of an upswing, online shopping has helped a lot. It def. dipped after the 90's... but I think as more and more folks see the jump from the comic pages to the big screen, they get interested in going back to the source. Most of the films and series we (my family) watch are from the comic/graphic novel worlds. So looking forward to season 2 of Sandman

Glad you've found REbels, looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

so, starting season 3 this week... but here are my thoughts up to now

Overall I like it as much as the Clone Wars if not more. I find Rebels to be more of a cohesive storyline, where the episodes are more interconnected and flowing together. It seemed to me that the CLone Wars really jumped around... with a lot of fluff episodes thrown in between major jumps in the story... fun... but fluffy in that they sometimes seemed to just be not connected to the overall story arcs or a little out of sequence/topic.

The switch in art style took a little getting used to, especially once Ahsoka showed up, but that is becoming less 'jarring'. Overall I like the art better in Rebels. Sometimes the overly pointy angular features on the female characters in Clone Wars was off putting to me I like the more emotive animation faces of Rebels.


Was awesome seeing both Maul and Vader in the same episode... Twilight of the Apprentice was excellent.

I like seeing the connections to things that i think are going to get expanded in the current live actions series happening. For example the Purgills in Rebels... and then Grogu seeing them in the Mandalorian.
