Disney has a chance to redeem the sequels with the TV series they're doing in-universe. The Mandalorian is a great start.

I was just talking with Brother_de_Jour about “Rogue Squadron” and he said it’s being head up by Patty Jenkins who did the Wonder Woman movie. She’s the daughter of a fighter pilot and was very eager to do the project.Swaye said:
Holy shit that stuff looks bad ass. Disney could really make some of this stuff excellent. Can't wait to see the fighter squadron stuff.Doog_de_Jour said:
Co-sign on both of these. Excellent series.1to392831weretaken said:If you like "space as a backdrop," not-too-serious series, two options while you're waiting for another season:
Firefly: Space western, semi-comedy. Doesn't take itself seriously and is really fun.
Cowboy Bebop: I'm not into anime, but I really liked this.
Both of these series are getting older and can be found all over for download or streaming.
Back to Mando...what I appreciated most about this series is they do fan service-y stuff the RIGHT way...meaning it makes sense to the plot. (One exception IMHO, but I don’t want to spoil stuff for @chuck.) You can tell the showrunners were thoughtful about the overall narrative.
@Swaye - some of the future Star Wars projects look promising...

So some of my trusted noyd sources said it's a bit more violent than New Hope / Empire which is where I'm trying to stay for now. Maybe I will watch a few episodes and judge for myself. Lil' piss was pissed at me last night for not letting the viewing commence.biak1 said:
Yes, especially if they’re into Star Wars. My nieces and nephews are about that age and love it.YellowSnow said:What is the appropriate age? If I’ve let a 6 yr old watch Empire Strikes back is Mandalorian kosher?

There is a pretty violent episode with the Sand People...I didn’t dare turn it off though as I knew they’d soon be back, and in greater numbers.YellowSnow said:

I mean in 2020 violence terms it’s pretty tame, it’s Disney after all .. Empire had bodily dismemberment, just sayin’.YellowSnow said:
