Episode 10:

This episode we talk about The Mandalorian Episodes 5 (The Gunslinger) and 6 (The Prisoner).

*SPOILER ALERT* for The Mandalorian

We try to get through Mando quickly so we can get to our final anticipations for The Rise of Skywalker. 

 

The Mandalorian 

Ep. 5: The Gunslinger

Dave Filoni wrote and directed this episode. He’s responsible for much of The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. We’ve dubbed him “Star Wars smart”. That being said, this episode might be the weakest of the season so far. Royce breaks down the fan service 101 that was The Gunslinger. 

 

Ep. 6: The Prisoner

Back to the action with The Prisoner. We play a fun game of ‘who’s that tv actor’ with the entire cast. We discuss it being the “Where’s baby Yoda?” show. And we have varying opinions about the quality of the episode in general. Is it ok that this show is, so far, just a series of side quests? 

 

The Rise of Skywalker

Do we have expectations/theories? 2/3 of us do, yes. Is it safer/better/healthier to not? Turns out the answer may be yes. What are we most excited for? How will everything tie in? How do you end the Skywalker Saga satisfyingly? Can Star Wars fans be satisfied? 

 

Royce hosts surprise question time this week!
