i kinda wish i did

I just started watching and am a little disappointed - expectations might have been too high from the fact everyone else seems to love it. I still plan on giving season 2 a try, but yeah, I don't think I understand the "it's so amazing" that I have been hearing.

Very excited for the Obi Wan series though. Again in the minority of Star Wars fans in that I really like the prequels, and Ewan Mcgregor is great.

Just finished season 2 of Mando. Pretty good. No hyperbole, but I liked it.

I think the Mandalorian is great, but I don't have a childhood emotional attachment to Star Wars like some do. I think the best Star Wars movie/series is like a B/B+ and the worst is like a B/B-. They're fun little space movies, but none of them are fantastic pieces. The concept is extraordinary, but the execution has always lacked. Mainly by really bad acting (like D-/F) and poor dialog.

Disagree on the acting. I think the awful performances by the Anakins and Laura Dern are offset by the awesomeness of Ewan Mcgregor and Adam Driver. C+ for the three trilogies overall.

ROS was pretty bad.
Just long and random with keys shaped like shipwrecks. The emperor just showing up with random powers ... and then that ending. Last Jedi mighta been worse with the whole gambling rich planet waste of time. The battle with snokes guards was sweet...but snoke was so uselessly weak.

I liked the first one ( Force Awakens ) though...lot of promise.

The Phantom Menace still has the best fight scene of all of em v Darth Maul.

No. Anakin v Obi Wan in episode 3, easily.

Give me the cool tense Darth Maul battle over the loud balancing on little robots to avoid falling into lava.

THe Rogue squadron books were pretty good for fandom--kind of looking forward to that stuff
