    True. I think most people keep cable/satellite services due to convenience. That and boomers don't know any better.
    Too many shows still on TV that aren't available to stream.

    If TV networks start moving towards streaming and not being live, that would make a big difference.
    I still watch a lot of TV shows that offer new episodes that are only available on TV networks.
    My guess based on market direction, is you're going to see these streaming services bidding on shows the same way TV stations do right now. It absolves Netflix for example, from all the production costs and unknowns of a new show. They can just pay a fixed price for like 2 and a half men or whatever that they know is already popular, and host it on their service instead of NBC hosting it.

    For some reason, I thought about mogwais from the Gremlins instead of these "Baby Yodas" lol.

    If Disney knows anything. It’s how to slip in a stupid character for the sole purpose of selling toys.

    Did we forget the Porg?

    I will admit, I love the droids and their unique personalities lol. I would love models of L3-37, IG-88, K-2SO, etc.

    Not as thrilled with last night's episode. Had a more campy/stargate feeling to it with a rehashed story arc. ATST was cool though

    The whole show is a campy Western by design.

    Porgs werent to sell toys. They were to cover up the protected puffins that were everywhere when they were filming.

    No baby Yoda merch (other than stupid print out phone cases/shirts) until next year. They try to keep it a secret, hence didn't plan any toys ahead of time.

    The latest episode was really lame IMO...
    Where the fuck did the AT-ST come from?!
    Apparently you can just out run a 40 ton armored mech with 20' stride and 4 blasters.
    Drivers of the AT didnt just blast everything to bits at the fight scene.
    Somehow Mando forget the kid was being tracked?
    40 some years of being a Mando and suddenly he has a soft spot for a native chick?
    Leaves the planet with no plot or cool Jedi force tricks.
    /RANT

    Otherwise its still fun to watch.

    Mando IS Clint Eastwood's man with no name. We knew this last episode was coming. It's "The Magnificent Seven" or "Seven Samurai" if you want to go a bit further back. Prior to that we've seen chunks of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", "Fistful of Dollars" etc. Every Mandalorian episode is a classic western trope dressed up in Star Wars clothing. I love it, but there's nothing original in these stories. There will be a quick draw showdown and a Mexican standoff coming soon for sure.

    Much like how easy it is to acquire a USSR era T-72 today.
    https://www.wired.com/2015/06/heres-...-russian-tank/


    The battle scene while cool, the trap should have been set in forest.

    And as much as they win that small battle, the enemy seems to be a more fierce army and have resource to acquire AT-ST, they will eventually get wiped out.

    The plot is fine for a kids focus episode of Rebels, didn't really stand for adults.

    fuck the AT-ST. Those things were pieces of shit.

    Why you take something that can trip and fall into jungle battles constantly?

    I mean, they got beat up by a bunch of koala bears in RoTJ.

    Failed design.

    Haha I thought the same. But still enjoyed it.

    Also, the artwork at the beginning of the credits is incredible!

    Same could be said about AT-ATs and anything that has "legs"

    Stop seeing this thru the lens of an adult. These damn things were cool when we were kids and just hope that kids today find it cool as well.
