I am one of the biggest Star Wars fans but I watched the first episode and this is straight boring bro! Dude gets in one fight and is like " take me back to my tank". How do you get interested in a crime lord as the main character. I may just watch the episode with luke in it and be done.

I think it's just ok. Watching Peacemaker too right now, and I think it's a lot better

With the exceptions of Episodes 5 and 6, which are basically Mandalorian episodes, this show has been pretty meh IMO.

Man, I just don't get it. These last 2 episodes without BF in them have been so boring and corny with a few highlights. What scenes did you guys find entertaining? The jedi training? The ship rebuild scenes?

Grogu sucks. Yeah, I said it.

Oddly enough, those are my favorite episodes. The rest of the show is just so boring to me. The plot just doesn't do anything for me TBH.

It doesn't seem odd in here. They seemed to be everybody's favorite episodes in here, but I think you all are much bigger Star Wars fans than I am. I've got some friends who aren't such big Star Wars fans that I found to have roughly the same opinions as me, so that seems to be the divide. Like somebody in here tried to say that BF/Mando is as good as Peacemaker in its own way. You're just an unapologetic Star Wars fanboy (or a kid) if you think that. All I want is a good storyline, some cool action, and some laughs in a show like this. I don't care about space religions, cute alien creatures, references to a cartoon from the SW universe, or 20 minutes with Amy Sedaris.

I’m not into comparing an rated R show aimed strictly at adults to any PG-13 show aimed at a wider audience on a family oriented streaming service. The have completely different goals as entertainment from who it targets to world building within the respective franchise.

I’ll say this about Mando, it captures the magic of the OT better than any Star Wars since 1983. For the most part BoB was a little slow and plodding until it became Mando 2.5 and that is why people loved the last 3 episodes over the first four.

I don't think you have to compare them 1:1, but I think Peacemaker is an A+ for what it is and Mando/BF are about a B for what they are.

I would give Peacemaker a B, for what it is. With B actors.

And, Mando an A. BBF is a B+

What's a better irreverent action series/movie? Deadpool is on the same tier. The next tier would be a show like Wayne and 21/22 Jump Street and Hot Fuzz. I put it above anything Guy Ritchie made. Better than Kickass. I can't think of anything else on Peacemaker's level.

all marvel series and movies are, with exception of one or two.

and they did it without the vulgarity.

So then they aren't "irreverent." Marvel movies are in Mando's realm, not Peacemaker's.

If one must resort to being foul to generate interest, then, says a lot about them. Again, I enjoyed the fiction, story. Cena did a nice job. It was one of best DC stories yet. But there is a big gap between Marvel ane DC.

The Suicide Squad was absolute unfettered crap.

You moved the goalposts. You were the one saying apples to oranges and they should be judged for what they are and now you're holding what it is against it. This would be like me holding Mando's family friendliness against it, but in this convo we're judging it within that light.

Also, super lame take. Vulgarity is funny and Peacemaker is clever about it.

I know I'm late on this but finally watched it the last three or four days. I have to say it was a chore getting through the first two or three episodes. However with episode 4 on it was very entertaining.

A few thoughts the whole series could have been done with Fett guesting in a three episode arc on the Mandalorian. I wished Grogu had stayed with Luke also the technology with how they accomplished that appearance is amazing. Nice mention of the training school from the most recent trilogy.

It was great seeing the Naboo Starfighter that Anakin used.

Loved the Clint Eastwood alien killer and the old wookie fighter.

If I watch it again or recommend it I would say start with Episode 4 and go from there.

I finally got around to watching this and I thought it was pretty good, a few moments I’m not sure are corny or awesome, but entertaining nonetheless.

The Tusken Raider storyline was probably the best part.
