Wow and just wow, im just afraid that the director is a big time movie director and i wonder how long he can keep this going as a project along with other things..

Well season one is over and what a blast. It feels like Star Wars.
it had everything you would expect from Star Wars, action, character development,mythology,depth in the backstory and the visuals we know and love.
We get Baby Yoda while the cini-verse gets Rose Tico.
And we know that Moff Gideon will become some one not to be messed with.
Can't wait for Season 2.
It's what you get when the viewer doesn't already have their "Fan Service SUKXXXX" cap on, which is good. But, it's also what you get when you don't tread any new ground, and that isn't always so good.
If I ranked this using the same methodology as I do the films, it'd probably rank somewhere alongside Solo, and that's not meant as a criticism or anything like that. It's good, enjoyable, and very Star Wars-esque, but as of Chapter 8...
.. it's trading on Canon set up in the Clone Wars and in Rebels for the big pay off... it hasn't yet delivered anything of significance on its own. We don't yet know what the story of the Darksaber will be, or what significance the child will have.
Based on this series, I really want Favreau, Filoni, Waititi and Chow to have more input going forward... Mando S2, the Kenobi, then the Cassian Andor series are next... if they can hit the same beats that this has, Disney will be doing very well.
Clone Wars season 7 is now the next big thing to arrive. TCW has been my favourite thing in Star Wars since 'A New Hope', I hope it doesn't disappoint.
My issues with Episode 9 is that it feels removed from what has come before. There is no consistency in this trilogy. Look at the original and prequels and you see consistency from a beginning to a conclusion. I felt that some of the interesting beginnings in VII should have had some continuation in Episode VIII instead you got social justice lectures and your main hero squeezing milk out of the breasts of a giant sea turtle-thing. Because your director gets high on agendas.
Rey's journey was unlike the journey Luke Skywalker took. Luke had struggles, remember Luke had trouble lifting some rocks. Rey practically lifted a whole mountain.
And how can someone brought up on a desert planet, sail through high seas?
It remains consistently accurate that they had no overall plan or adjoining story.
Back to The Mandalorian. We need more Baby Yoda to do that hand thing...
Spot on! After watching the sequel trilogy, it’s clear there was no overall plan/overarching story. People can criticise the prequels (which I enjoyed) but at least each film felt connected.
Although I didn’t enjoy the Episode 8’s directive choices (Rose, canto shite and Luke’s arc) the films pacing and direction was strong and bold.
Episode 9 felt extremely rushed. No time for character development or anytime to let the new revelations/plot twist sink in. The film completely retconned all of the choices made in the last Jedi and completely disregarded Vader’s sacrifice in episode 6. Kylo Ren was criminally wasted. Palatines presence had no real explanation. Hayden Christensen reduced to a voice. No rebooted order? The films a failure.
Personally, I think the sequel trilogy was doomed due to the ending of 7. Leaving the cliffhanger with Luke right at the end of the film pushed 8 in a certain direction with no time gap between the two episodes.
Episode 9 had the task of being two films in one, which really shows.
Moff possession then Darksaber holds some pretty deep complications for Mando.
Now the fan service and nostalgias out the way, I think season 2 will focus on the mystery behind Yodas home-world/species and Moffs pursuit of the child.
I would like to see this series but no Disney + in Norway until sometime next year. It should have been easy to launch this platform globally instead of region by region.
I don't think it disregards Vaders sacrifice. Vader died to save his son, which he did - not kill the Emperor. As for the rest of the retconning, I think this was more about JJ wanting to answer every question that had been asked of TFA andTLJ, than it was wanting to change the thematic narrative of TLJ.

Not sure about Norway, but here in the UK it's because Disney doesn't own exclusive rights to broadcast Star Wars stuff, if they released it here now, it would have been on Sky, not Disney+.
We don’t get Disney+ in Germany until Spring. The Mandalorian was the only thing that appealed. So in order to see it early I went on the torrent sites and downloaded it. Was not going to wait.
