The Mandalorian.



[Currently] not a patch on Firefly, mind.
Never seen it. Although I very much doubt that anything in Firefly is a good as an IG unit shooting people to a SE nerd.

BTW, you can hear each episode deconstructed by the SW minute podcast chaps over at The Mindalorian podcast.
 
Enjoyed tonight’s episode, good stuff & nice brit cameo... still needs to expand the narrative on the bigger picture...
 
i said that too, that this felt like a 80s sunday night action series (the previous one where they rebuilt his ship after the jawas was a nod to macgyver i thought)... not that it was the worst thing in the world as it was an enjoyable watch i thought.
Plenty of 80s references to hook the nerds. Apollo Creed as the Bounty Hunter shop owner, in the space battle Mando pulls a "Maverick" so the baddy flies right past him, plus a ridiculous amount of Star Wars references every episode.

In the last one there's a reference to Stormtroopers being the worst marksmen in the galaxy, a bit fourth wall but the fanboys will lap it up.

That said I was all FFS when I first clapped eyes on Baby Yoda and he ended up being the best thing about the series.
