Do I need to catch up on the sequel films first to know what's happening on this? I haven't watched any Star Wars since RotS. Kids are caught to to everything but the sequel films too. I'm being impatient and wanna watch this first haha The show is set about 25 years before the sequel trilogy, so no.

Loved the episode. Bill Burr felt so natural in the Star Wars universe. More of that. Dudes you wouldn’t expect who add more grounding to the whole thing. Favorite parts had to be .. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}When Mando started f***ing with them. So, so satisfying. And how cool was it to see New Republic/X-Wings just be an authority figure and just handle shit?? Felt so new and cool. Enjoyed Mando trying to talk to the egghead too, and the reveal he didn’t kill the bastard bounty hunters. Just love the character more and more.

Also, it's been 25 years and battle droids are still completely useless.

Another good episode. They're knocking it out of the park with the guest castings - Clancy Brown, Natalia Tena, Bill Burr, and Mark Boone Jr. as space pirates? *chef kiss*

Episode 7 is out on Wednesday. Guessing to encourage people to go see Rise of Skywalker over the weekend.
Then episode 8 which is the final episode of the season will be out on the 27th.

I’m glad they’ve announced they’ve already begun working on Season 2. They're following the exact same schedule for filming as the first season (late-October until the end of February), so I'd say they're likely about halfway done already. Favreau confirmed last week the episode he directed is already finished.

Wouldn’t doubt it. And considering Ford and Hamill and Fishers and Guinness’ stance in ANH, maybe that should be the benchmark for casting from now on lol

Another really fun episode.
I like how they're following the style of the original Star Wars trilogy by using standard, classic storylines and setting them in Star Wars.
A prison break, arming a group of villagers against bandits etc, the overall story of a lone badass protecting an innocent--we've seen it all before, but like how the original took the classic Heroes Journey and set it in space and made it work, this does the same.
Nice to see X-Wings appear. I wonder if we'll see a lightsaber at some point--a crime lord who wields a salvaged lightsaber despite not been a force user could be an interesting opponent.

I’ll say it again;
This show rules. Just so much fun and if after ROTS, we get more stuff like this from Disney long term, I’m all for it.

Spoiler for The Rise of Skywalker {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}This Chapter 7 Baby Yoda does some “Force Healing” .. a power I have only seen in some SW games like Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (and in that you only heal yourself not others)
Well in The Rise of Skywalker the “Force Healing” is used a few times.
