Just wondered if any forum members are fans of the SW universe? I enjoyed the first episode of season 2 of Mandalorian... did you guys?

Yep 馃榿

Have been watching it with my lad, while he was younger he suffered with malformation of the brain causing umpteen seizures a day. When things got really bad he got into his films, the Marvel and Star Wars Universe's....

Fast forward a few years and all is good in the world and we're watching Mando & Co... as long as he doesn't spoil the plots as he's always ahead of the current storyline due to the interweb 馃

... that's not to scale 馃槑

I'll wait for it all to come out and then I shall binge. I was a big fan of what is now known as 'Legends'/Expanded Universe; Kevin J. Anderson, Timothy Zahn, A.C. Crispin, and Michael Stackpole filled many a teen afternoon. The whole midichlorians and space magic really irked me. Must say though, the animated Clone Wars series was pretty good, as was Genndy Tartakovsky's 'version' (now not considered canon)

Clone Wars is absolutely amazing. The character development is second to none. I used to have your approach but I couldn't walk around and get on with my day knowing there were episodes out that I hadn't seen yet haha!

I'm really glad that your son found an outlet. It is such a minefield to avoid spoilers these days. You could get them from so many places!

My dad got a Disney + subscription this past year so he can watch movies on his laptop with my son. I heard them talking about watching some new episodes this past weekend. They are covering a span of 7 - 78 years old.

I think of it as an obsession now, like us err... adults and watches 馃槜. He's now a typical 17 year old, towering above his parents and only leaving his xbox to raid the fridge 馃榾

This is super cool!

I've still to hang the display cabinets but the aim is a centre piece to a cinema/games room with a life size Han Solo in carbonate.

Big Star Wars fan here. Aged 14 I went to the West End to see the first film, then just called Star Wars, and have been hooked pretty much ever since.

the Mandalorian doesn鈥檛 really feel like a Star Wars thing, the connection is rather slight for me, but it鈥檚 OK. Reminds me more of the 1970s series, Kung Fu, than Star Wars.

I'm glad Disney took over the franchise, no more waiting 5 years to find out who the father is...

Some nerd art. A painting a friend did for me when I graduated and an original Revenge of the Jedi poster from before the name change. 馃榾

The number of calls I got to explain who was wearing the armor, how can you verify it鈥檚 that armor, and who is that guy at the end was impressive.

I was 17 just 10 years ago and that was me - literally a carbon copy!

The best thing about the Mandalorian is that it isn't some galaxy defining thing. The events won't alter the entire universe. Its just a journey of a few people and how their paths intertwine. Its the best thing to come out of Disney's Star Wars since the acquisition by a landslide.

Thanks. I do love it. There are so many fakes out there that when I had the chance to get an authentic, original one, I snagged it!

Halfway through the first season and a little underwhelmed. Not sure I will finish it
