They should have made this a serial "bounty of the week" type of show with a Mandalorian mytharc running through the series like X-Files or Supernatural. Could have easily churned out 200+ one-hour long episodes of that shit in a SW universe instead of this piddly shit
my hope is he passes baby yoda off to some chick and then goes back to work.

I mean if you think this show sucks you probably needed a Thorazine injection to get through a showing of TLJ.

this show's existence is to market baby yoda dolls, nothing else matters, it just needs to be good enough for that
you would think that, but no. Disney had no plans to market Baby Yoda merch. they rushed shit out the door and this is what they are throwing at people.

You greatly underestimate the skill it takes to run a ripple filter on a jpeg and print it on a shirt. It takes decades of training to operate at that level of graphic design.

But thats how simple Star Wars actually is. Its not all space dog fights and laser sword showdowns. Luke was just a simple farm boy who wanted to leave home to do more with his boring life.
why the fuck was Luke growing up for 18ish years saying

"morning uncle owen, morning aunt beru", why the fuck is he growing up like spider-man? why wasn't he just adopted?

As much as I would agree, and would love to see a Cowboy Bebop esq Mandalorian.. I feel like 200 episodes would be overkill for a series with/without, unless it decided to go the 7 route then maybe; imo. Pretty sure we are kinda getting an inverted idea, where he is the high stakes bounty on the run.. they're gonna hash that out through the rest of the series, and given that they're putting heavy emphasis on foundlings and the idea of orphan with the mando mytharc inbetween it all, if not that being the front while the bounty hunting being inbetween. We just kinda ended the whole anime esq introductory arc.

It does just takes one bad ending to ruin it all, being that its Disney.. the good guy is probably not going to die and that they still trying to maintain that E rating. Yoda is there to sell the other half of the audience, and we will prob see more marketing when his story is more fleshed out. I think Fav was pretty adamant on not releasing any merchandise, given he doesn't even have a name, and a lot of times those toy boxes have a little quip of their background. My own theory is that Disney is pulling restraint because they're trying to pull star wars out of the gutter.. and mando, and other starwars based tv series is their hope. I'd put money on Fav ending up becoming the creative director over the Starwars universe.. I am semi sure a Darth Maul series was confirmed, and I think the Obi-Wan shit is going to end up a series too.

I'm reserved on saying its a good series until it ends, but I am entertained thus far.. if it were any other sci-fi theme that isn't Star Wars, I think i'd still enjoy it.. but depends on how they decided to make the world look. I don't think Altered Carbon story was that good, but I enjoyed the uhh cyberpunk/bladerunner scenery?

Finally some good Star Wars. For boys. If they had some Mandalorian toys out there they would outsell the shit out of any new trilogy toys. I know I'd buy a couple lego sets for my sons for Christmas.

Episode sucked. Yodakid is overplayed. Bryce only has a job because of her dad. Sidekick woman is the size of a Bantha's ass and about as attractive. Another episode of this shit, and they might as well rename the series Mandocuck: Space Jesus.
