If you ever wanted to see a live version of the cover to Nameless Cults, then this week's episode is for you. And yes, it's a direct Lovecraft reference in the show.
Seems to be some online chatter about too many stars and the return of the Darksaber. A) It's a TV show, you're going to see people you know, and people you don't, get used to it. And B) why contrive a whole fight sequence when you can subvert expectations. Thought it was well done myself.

I enjoyed this week's episode. It felt a bit like a Star Trek problem of the week to solve episode, but was a nice change of pace. The montage of droids going haywire was hilarious.

Regarding this week's episode of the Mandalorian... that's the best Star Wars I've seen since finishing the original trilogy for the first time. Going to be tough to top. Yep, totally agree, and I love the pulp feel of the show. Even enjoy watching the credits for that great artwork!

A very fun episode, and I too always watch the credits to enjoy the artwork. I certainly wouldn't mind some posters of some of that art...

Why can't Kathleen Kennedy just retire?

Not that I am aware of, but Midnight's Edge and similar channels do sometimes get insider info. The recent event was to promote the new movies with their respective directors and Favreau may not have been there because he may only be involved with the new streaming series going forward. A falling out did however apparently very nearly happen during the filming of Mandalorian season 2. This article was posted two days ago:

After tonight's episode... if the powers that be at Disney don't put Star Wars in the hands of Favreau and Filoni and shitcan Kathleen Kennedy they deserve everything they get.
It's insane how good the Mandalorian has been.

Should Walt Simonson get a bit of a nod there with Paz's standoff?
This is the Way...Star Wars should be done now.

Ah, Star Wars.
The original trilogy, the prequels to an extent, Rogue One and the Clone Wars animated series. That's it for me. Even though I would have loved an Ahsoka show, because I liked that character, I won't go near any of this stuff.

You really need to give Mandalorian and the final episodes of the Book of Bobba Fett (where Djin guest stars) a chance. It embraces the pulp science fantasy roots as well as the Western and Samurai influence of the original trilogy. Obi-Wan Wan wasn't as good as it could have been, same with most of the Bobba Fett episodes (the last few episodes of the Book of Bobba Fett are really the Mandalorian Season 2.5). But don't deny yourself the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. Pascal is a great lead and Sackhoff has been the perfect addition, one of the best actresses of her generation (not to mention she continues to have a butt that doesn't quit and defies aging).

I would, but that would mean giving Disney my money and I refuse to do that. The Ahsoka show is tapping me on the shoulder though. My main source of new media that I bring into the house is DVDs and Bluy Rays from Amazon and eBay and these don't seem to exist. I saw Mandolrian on eBay once, but it looked like a bootleg. I would prefer that Disney makes BluRays and then I could get them used on eBay so my money doesn't directly go into their hands. I know, I feel silly at times and some of my buddies poke fun at this, but I just can't do it.
