Finished second episode last night and it was great. Took them long enough, but I think this is the right group of people to be guiding the content now. There are still nods, but it's beginning to feel like a galaxy rather than Albert Square.

What the fuck are you fucking fuckers talking about Luke's motivation or whether the pirates are pirates or not? Jesus  It's all about the

Silence...Bwarrrrrrrrrrp! sonic mine thing.

 

As a token nod, I also chuckled when Boba Fett said

My face may get recognised or words to that effect

Don't click unless you've watched.

I was wondering which Jedi would show up when baby Yoda sent out his call. But I never saw that coming! I don't think the CGI is ready yet but it still looked pretty decent. I wonder was that old footage they had or did they work up something totally new? 

 

It's a bit pointless complaining about how rubbish the Empire are but this week was particularly silly. How many times can they fall for that trojan-horse tactic? Yes, I know the ship was operating at reduced capacity but it was still daft. 

 

Absolutely hated the post-credit bit.

 

Proper good series over all.

Now that's pod racing!

 

Anyone associated with the sequels should be slightly embarrassed that they missed the feel of Star Wars so badly and this show absolutely fucking nailed it.

I was grinning like a kid all the way through, more so when a certain someone turned up.

 

Thanks to @JohnC for the end credits tip, I'd already switched it off when I saw his post. Went back to watch it and :omg::omg::omg:

I almost couldn’t believe what I was watching. What a great finish.
 

Spoiler

All the signs were there. The lone x-wing, the green saber. I just didn’t believe they’d do it. I thought it would be another EU character.


I got quite emotional watching that. It caught me off guard.

I watched the last 20 minutes of that literally on my knees in front of the TV. The early comments in here from this morning got me excited but that.... that was one of the most important episodes of anything ever made IMO. Fucking hell!

 

Spoiler

There has been chat about it, but nobody really wanted to think about it too much. It would be a step too far surely. No way he will come back. But then it builds this unbelievably tense situation, where unless something truly magical and spectacular happens these beloved characters are going to die. And even fucking then, you still dont let yourself hope. Ashoka at a stretch, but it will be Boba... has to be Bo..... and then it appears. Like an angel descending from the heavens. But still, STILL you dont let yourself hope and its all very deliberate. Favareau and his crew know what Star Wars and specifically certain characters mean to people so they know how to handle it. And then, only then, when you on your knees, shaking, begging, do you see the saber ignite. You know its him. And in an instant almost 40 years of love and nostalgia slams into you. Luke :wub:

 

And just when you think you have nothing left, R2 rolls round to talk (yes they spoke to each other I dont care what anyone says) to Grogu and you actually start to cry.

 

That was simply the greatest post original trilogy Star Wars moment of all time for me. I'm so fucking happy!!

That was great.

I hope they leave it there, it doesn't need any more.

 

Actually I've just realised they've got all this dark saber stuff to deal with, haven't they.

 

The post-credits scene was hilarious

Spoiler

As for leaving it there I'm really hoping we get an Ahsoka meeting Luke moment at some point, that'll be magical.

You’ve put that perfectly. Just how I experienced it.

 

Spoiler

I felt it was coming but I just didn’t believe they’d actually do it. The emotion just bubbled up in me anyway because the hope was so strong. I was holding back tears even before his hood came off. That’s never happened to me before. Usually it would have been a “Yes...Luke!” fist in the air moment but I just bloody cried. A huge lovely nostalgia punch right in the gut and I absolutely loved it.


I think a lot of the stress of work and covid and everything else I’ve been carrying inside just poured out of me at that moment. It was pure joy and I really needed this today :wub:

Well fuck me sideways with a dark saber. 

 

That was utterly captivating and magical fan service of the highest standard. 

 

I literally got off the sofa and sat on the floor in front of the telly for the last 10 mins with my jaw dropped. 

 

Is it Xmas 2021 yet!
