Huh? You lost me. If a 2nd season wasn't confirmed, wouldn't you want to go all in on the first season? |
Not going all in, but instead focusing on smaller, closed histories every episode. |
Yeah, I was thinking of the opposite.
Because seems like alot of fans want them to get on with the main story, since there's only 8 episodes.
But I've heard excuses from other fans saying, well, if they tell the entire story in 8 episodes, what else would they have to tell in the following seasons?
So, I would think that if the 2nd season wasn't guaranteed, they'd just tell a complete story in season 1 and then worry about season 2 when it gets picked up. |

Well yeah.
Just talking theoretically, if they were actually worried about not having a season 2.... |

Don't read about it, WATCH IT!!
It's everything we were hoping for. Back to the main story arch. Really good storyline. Cliffhanger for Episode 8. It's going to be good. |

The same director from ep 3 directed ep 7, and Taika Waititi is directing ep 8. Of course it was too early to bail. |

Weird how ep 7 was released on a Wednesday. I only found out cuz a friend texted me. It looks like ep 8 won't be released until next Friday. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Some really nice moments in the last 2 episodes. Made up for the filler in the middle of the season. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same."

What a great season it was!
Can't wait for Season 2.
PS: To understand the season finale you gotta watch Clone Wars and Rebels (great shows, BTW) |

That part actually made me laugh out loud. All in all, a good show. Jon Favreau obviously knows how to work with a man in armor. Although of course it's really been Baby Yoda's show from the moment he appeared. |

I just read the one who punched Baby Yoda was played by Jason Sudeikas and now he's catching heat for it on social media. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

They should've had Filoni or Waititi direct TRS. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

Filoni and waititi should have made episodes 7-9. They are the only ones who read legends and try to bring most of those story lines over to cannon. Clone wars materials were all from Lucas and legends the same with rebels and now we see this in the mandalorian |
