Actually yes. I don't want Mando season 3 to be the Boba Fett show, but it makes no sense to run these shows at the same time. Networks don't do that. It's dumb programming.
It is odd that they would have 2 shows starring main characters in Mandalorian armor both premiering in December of next year.

Anyway, I dislike the use of Luke like a lot.
First off, the CGI face shit looks really fake. It didn't work with Leia and Tarkin in Rogue One, it didn't work with Leia and Luke in Rise of Skywalker and it still doesn't work here. It's some massive uncanny valley stuff, where it looks slightly off which makes the whole thing look fake. I'd much rather Disney just recast or, ya know, not use Luke at all.
Secondly, this is massive fanservice/fanfic Luke where he solo's an entire super elite squad of Dark Troopers without a single sweat while we have seen other characters struggle to even make a dent. It's everything boring Star Wars fans demanded Luke in TLJ should've been and it's just bereft of any tension. At least have the main characters of the show doing something instead of going 'OH LOOK HOW COOL LUKE IS WOOHOO!'
Thirdly, it's just boring. I guess I should be happy that they didn't tie in yet another animated show character, but Luke likely isn't going to factor into the further show at all and we already know where he ends up vs. using someone like Ezra who they would be free to reuse in the show and have him do whatever they want to. They can't really do that with Luke, because canonically he will start his Jedi Temple not very long after this episode is taking place. So, Luke being the one to take Grogu basically leaves two options: 1. Grogu is done in the show and died in the Jedi Temple burning. or 2. the next time we see Grogu he will be somehow separated from Luke anyway and Luke taking him was utterly meaningless except that maybe Grogu will have a couple of extra Force powers.

Yeah and some of those shows have been in development for ages now and still haven't come out. KenobI for obvious reasons but Andor has been moving pretty steadily and it still isn't coming out until 2022.
How is it possible they fast-tracked a Boba spin-off PLUS are still making Mando season 3? All those other live action shows are made by different teams. If there was to be a Boba show then it would most likely take place in the Mando universe they are creating, which means Filoni and Favreau are spearheading the project. And I simply can't see them finding time to make 2 big shows at once. Did they build another volume in SoCal? That's another issue too. I guess it's possible they shoot them back to back but I just find it hard to plan it all.
Is there a chance they uploaded an unfinished episode or was that monstrosity of computer effects supposed to be taken seriously? I'm still SHOOK at that uncanny valley bullshit
I mean,
Razor Crest is destroyed
Din's journey is complete
Baby Yoda is safe until Kylo's tantrum
Boba is chilling where he got jobbed for some reason
The only thing not wrapped up in a nice bow is the dark saber succession story which kind of feels arbitrary. Din doesn't give a shit about it.
This is why Mace Windu should've been the one brought back. There would be some interesting shit to work through that affects both Din and Boba. Now I guess it's up to the writers to cook up something completely new for both of them.
was that guy in the beginning some celebrity because it was really cringe and was given a lot of attention
Deep fake aside I really liked this finale. I think in about 5 years time this technology will be ready. They gotta figure out the eyes.
Din not caring about the dark saber and being stuck with this weapon that is so important to everybody else is actually hella more interesting than Boba being the ruler of Tatooine's underworld.
Yup. They've set up Din's story for next season perfectly just like how I was hoping they would.
Again, absolutely sure Boba is a separate series but I'm sure we'll get clarification tomorrow.
I think Book of Boba will be it's own thing. Some sort of The Godfather in the SW universe with Boba becoming a crime boss. ^^
Mandalorian should continue on the Mandalorian parts of the story, Mandalore, the war, Dark Saber, Bo-Katan, legacy of the Death Watch and everything.

Young CGI Anthony Hopkins in Westworld looked way way better than Luke here. This has got to be due to some COVID fuckery because good de aging cgi is possible on a TV budget
It just seems like, to me, that the fact that each episode is "Chapter X" refers to the book and with the latest episode finished it makes sense that Book 1 is finished and Book 2 will begin next season and since the post credit scene refers to a book it just makes sense that its referring to Season 3.
People who think it's a spinoff show or a movie are crazy
It's clearly a second story and they're rotating stories of a different Mandalorian through each one's story to tell.
So it's Boba's turn next as he just got back into the story.
S3 is Book of Boba Fett
SX will be The Mandalorian and it'll be about Mandalore the planet and then Favreau will be like "I never said The Mandalorian was singular" and reveal an Aizen mask

If the show is going to do the whole chapter thing, I think we'll get a Bo katan chapter at some point and maybe a Sabine one too before eventually circling back around to Din and Grogu
My thoughts:
-Koska Reeves hitting Boba Fett with a tornado DDT is an iconic Star Wars moment
-While the Luke stuff is cool, I really wish they had done a better job than Deepfake Luke™
-80% sure that Book of Boba Fett is Mando S3
-99% sure we will see Din Djarin and Bo Katan again
-Fennec Shand is cool as hell
-lmao Bib Fortuna closure, thank you Favreau
-Really sad that Grogu/Din's journey has taken them separate ways
-No, you jackasses, Grogu isn't going to die at the temple

First order theme during the goodbye between Grogo and Mando.
This is going to go sour isnt it.

I'm pretty sure his very first line is an OT edit like "Hope" and "Rey!". Specifically, they took "I am" from "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
To be fair, Young Han specifically had a pretty big backlash. And I also am skeptical the type of thing they did with Luke here (or Leia in the films) is sustainable for a long period of time/an entire feature. Part of it probably also has to do with Mark Hamill still being completely game to do whatever for Star Wars (unlike Harrison Ford), and his voice acting skill still allowing himself to modulate his voice enough to sound close to how he was when he was younger (unlike Billy Dee Williams).
I mean, you clearly have no idea how Television production works if you think this. But logistically a studio or production company can actually put multiple series into production simultaneously.
That said, it would definitely be odd to have two different series about characters wearing Mandalorian armor premiering in the exact same month... which means...
Yeah. Probably it is just season 3. The only thing that is making me hesitate is why even announced it like that at the end of the show as if it was a new series. I am sure they will clear it up... but probably wait at least a week, maybe two, to do so.
Fuck me ...
The all Female gun fight was amazing
Luke turning up and slaying the Dark Troopers has me over the fucking edge.

I don't understand how some fan vid can look so much better than what ILM accomplished on the show
this logic makes no sense because it assumes Boba's story excludes all external forces and just focuses on him, which these two seasons of Mandalorian didn't do with Din
Reluctance to use the technology. Pride in their CGI tech. Any of these.
