Filoni is straight up making a live-action Rebels sequel and I'm here for it. (Sabine with long hair seems weird, though.)
There's a certain cognitive dissonance with animated characters being translated to live action that you don't see in the reverse in that they sound nothing like you expect them to when they open their mouths (rare cases like Bo-Katan not withstanding) since they generally try to find voice actors that sound like the live action character if they can't get the original actor. I've kind of gotten used to Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka, but man did Sabine and Hera's voices catch me off guard.
The Mandalorian:
That was bizarre. The cameos kind of took me out of what would have otherwise been an odd but serviceable episode. It doesn't help that Lizzo can't act and Jack Black was apparently trying to make up for it by going over the top.
As for The Darksaber I (and a lot of other people online) have been thinking that that should be the case ever since it happened and it was odd they took so long to address it.
I hate to say it, but Mandalorian duels are a lot more fun in animation.
I actually liked the fight scene at the end: it was a lot more physical and believable than I expected.
Post Deleted!
The Mandalorian:
Grogu piloting the body of a dead ally is kind of disturbing but him spamming the "Yes" button while they were walking down the street was hilarious.
While Paz Vizla's final stand was really cool I will never understand media that pulls the "there's too many" sacrifice card and then has that person almost win. If they almost win solo then they should have been able to win easily with their allies. They probably should have had the Praetorian Guards show up while there were still super commandos up and fighting.
I loved every single bit of this week's Ted Lasso. (Well, except the unsurprising reveal that Jamie's dad is even more horrific than he previously demonstrated himself to be.) Every other part, though. SO GOOD.
SO GOOD
I’m still not sure about Rebecca’s psychic predictions storyline although I like her story other than that, I think.
Basically every time I would think “well, this storyline is giving me everything, I don’t need anything else” we’d switch focus to someone else giving me a different everything. Good job, show.
The whole thing with Roy and Jamie was amazing.
