Star Wars series, starring a bounty hunter who's the same "nationality" as Boba Fett.
I watched both eps this morning, it's brilliant |

I personally am not watching Disney+ on their DUMB weekly schedule, I don't know why they're being all "different-from-Netflix-hmph!"... full season releases are MUCH better for streaming platforms. So, I'm just going to pretend that it is full season releases, and ignore each show until the season finale drops (December 27th in this case).

I'm sure they tried? All they could really do is IP block, so I'd imagine it doesn't work with free VPNs (speed would be bad anyway though with a free one). It definitely still works on my VPN. It actually adapts the content based on where I'm connected to (e.g. I can turn off the VPN and it'll show DC's Titans, which isn't on Netflix US because DC have their own streaming thing over there). From what I've read it isn't meant to do that... it's supposed to show the content from your "home country" no matter where in the world you are unless you log in consistently from a new location in which case it assumes you've relocated rather than travelling. But mine definitely changes between the two
In fact I've just tested it, both logged in at the same time (one on PC one on VPN-connected server). Receipts in spoiler. Spoiler: Last edited by Toy Soldier; 17-11-2019 at 10:32 AM. |

The finale was good - the entire series was awesome! I'm not gonna crap on the Disney movies to praise this, but I will say I wish the creative team behind the show were in charge of the movies.
Deborah Chow is an awesome director, and apparently she's going to helm the Kenobi show! That's brilliant! Taika Waititi's finale kept my eyes on the screen the whole time. Great lineup of characters... If the Baby Yoda memes put you off, don't worry, he's only a small part of the show! |

I think that's literally the case tbh - it seems like all future movies have been "postponed" while S2 of Mando is coming, as is a Kenobi series, and a series for a random character from Rogue One |

I hope they do more Star Wars spin off movies. Rogue One was great!
I heard about this series. Sounds good. And aww, baby Yoda is so cute

it's really brilliant, I'd give it a solid recommend to anyone if you want to compare tastes, I would NOT recommend the Sequel Trilogy, as in I'd say "watch it if you want, don't put yourself out", while I'd give a recommendation to Solo, and a soft one to Rouge One.
Does any of that make sense? Sequels - if you want to, maybe have it on in the background or something Solo - yes Rogue One - yeah sure Mando - YES |

Gahh it's so good!
I'd not seen the cartoon show with Ashoka, but she was awesome in last week's episode. Cara Dune is great too, there're rumours she's going to get her own spinoff show, which would be great, especially as she's now a warden (or something) AND BOBA FETT'S BACK!! |

It's certainly a pallet-cleanser after the sequel trilogy

I've not watched it, but what is it with Star Wars and bringing back characters that were obviously killed off previously.

I've just started Season 2 and I know these are stupid questions but when is this supposed to be is it before or after the Star Wars movies? Also, is baby Yoda the actual yoda or just the same species as Yoda?

I think it is set about 5 years after the original trilogy of films?

So baby Yoda isn't the actual Yoda then? Although, if it's set after the original films surely people would know what he was because Yoda was kind of famous?

Yeah, I guess not, unless they are doing something really weird. I mean they never explained in the latest film how The Emperor survived being thrown down that shaft, then blowing up in a nuclear explosion.

In all six Star Wars movies, there was only one other from Yoda's species. Yaddle was in the Jedi Council, and didn't have any lines. Plus, Mando was raised in an insular cult, all non-Mandos were probably the same to him. Last edited by Oliver_W; 11-12-2020 at 03:43 PM. |
