I watched Small Axe on BBC last night, absolutely top quality fresh new drama.

 

It's a disgrace that Lucas Arts keep remaking the same thing time after time, and that it's done so poorly.

 

SWU is nothing more than a franchise, all about the cash, not at all about artistic integrity, but hey if cutsie wootsie furry likkle baby Yoda's float your boat then I give up.

Nearly all TV shows and films are about the cash. 

 

And nearly all popular TV shows and media have characters created to appeal to the market in order to make more money, you aren't clever for noticing it this one time. 

 

Name a few of your favourite TV show characters and I'll give you a quick and lazy deconstruction of why they are liked.

I am really disappointed in the amount of wrong in this post.

 

Ruined my day.

Me too Skids, literally every sentence, apart for the first one, is way off.

Star Wars is this holy cow, whereby if anybody dare to criticise it then the fan boys get triggered.

 

If you like that tired and lazy stuff then fair play to you. I just happen to like my drama a little bit more grown up and fresh.

I'm no Star Wars fan boy, i just happen to think (like most others, apparently) that The Mandalorian is a hugely entertaining 45 minutes of television, and that is literally all that matters.

The only Star Wars characters I know of are Darth Vader, Yoda and Leia and even I have enjoyed this series, I'm in love with the camerawork and how they make each planet seem unique. The last episode gave me strong fallout vibes fr example, and the artwork at the end of the episodes is brilliant as well, wouldnt mind getting a few of them as prints.

It is, true enough, but the acting is awful, the script clichéd and wooden.

Ah come on man!

 

It's totally fair to criticize Star Wars. The prequels and the sequels have been (rightly) ripped apart.

It was his comment about Star Wars not having a good film since '77 that hurt the most.

Star Wars is wank, Mando is decent.

I like Star Wars because I loved it as a kid. People seem to expect a hell of a lot from a franchise aimed primarily at children

Especially when it is now in the hand of Disney.

Absolutely no issue with the script of the acting, personally, but bear in mind it's (albeit loosely) connected to the same kind of dialogue that Alec Guinness rightly said "you can type this shlt but you cant say it", so it's never going to be Glengarry Glen Ross

Not sure this is true, given that the fan boys have spent most of the past three years criticising Star Wars.

I've just watched series 1 over the last 2 days.

 

Tired and cliched writing, appalling wooden acting from characters we do not care about,  piss poor set pieces and action sequences with little or no tension, and not forgetting that likkle cutsie wootsie furry green motnerfucker.

 

Really, is this the best these businessmen can muster?

 

Scrap the whole god-damned Star Wars franchise, end it, kill it, they haven't released a half decent film since 1977. It's all about the $$$, artistic integrity zero.

 

If Disney / Lucas had an ounce of decency they would reinvest their ill gotten scabrous profit into some fresh new drama not solely driven by greed.

 

A generous 2/10

 

 

I haven’t seen it. Out of interest, mate, why would you waste time watching it, if you don’t like Star Wars?

Fear is the path to Carvalho Diablo. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to Carvalho Diablo.

Not at all. Just an honest review.

 

Obviously a bit too honest for some.

I’ve never really been a huge Star Wars fan but I have liked this which I’ve watched over the last two weeks ago. 
 

What it’s given me most is two new phrases to say to my kids. 
 

“I have spoken” 

 

“This is the way”.

Just got caught up with the latest episodes, really enjoying this series, it’s boss. First season was good but definitely feels like a big step up.

 

I’m not a Star Wars fan-boy in the sense that I’ve never watched Clone Wars or Rebels or anything like that so I’m not familiar with some of the characters but that doesn’t detract from it just being loads of fun to watch.

[Pete]

That was fucking great.

Yeah just finished it now, fucking boss. I can’t wait for the next one, so that in itself is proof that this is really good series.

Isn't it weird waiting a week for the next episode as well? Old school.

I want to know how I can be so invested in the future of a little green puppet/CGI creation!!?!?!?
A week seems a long way right now.
