The end of the second season of The Mandalorian is coming and Star Wars fans are amazed at the great “fan service”.
Attention SPOILERS. When Disney bought LucasFilm and announced they would be making a new Star Wars trilogy, all the fans were thrilled, when they confirmed JJ Abrams as the director of Episode VII, it seemed like the right choice. But the first thing that occurred to him is to skip everything they had prepared and made a bad copy of Episode IV. So now that all three movies have been released, we realize that they could have done something very big. But if you see them all together, not even the story is coherent. Luckily, the end of The Mandalorian gives a lesson in love to the saga and to the fans who are at heart the basis for Star Wars to be so popular.
Many times you can think that Star Wars fans are so demanding that it is difficult for 100% of them to be satisfied by the series and movies. That may be true, but it is even more true that the percentage of people who get excited about stories is higher if things are done well.
One of the great problems of the new Star Wars trilogy is the use of Luke Skywalker since we had been waiting 40 years to see him again and even Mark Hamill himself was dissatisfied with the final result. Especially because of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017), which is where it has more minutes.
A single scene is so much better than the whole new trilogy.
At the end of the second season of The Mandalorian, Luke Skywalker heeds Baby Yoda’s call and saves the protagonists by confronting the dark soldiers. That moment is so epic that it completely erases all the bad taste left by the new Star Wars trilogy. That I do not doubt that he liked these films, but it is clear that they moved away from the importance of “fan service”.
Since Star Wars is for the fans so that they get excited so that they enjoy and then comment with the rest of their friends and family about what they have made them feel. They forgot all that and did not know how to manage a franchise that almost completely collapsed. But once again the fans save the saga. And I mean two fans, in particular, Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. They are the main engines of The Mandalorian and have introduced a new technology, while they have managed to gather millions of viewers around the saga.
Now you just have to think how many spin-offs or secondary series will come out of the new Star Wars trilogy, no one is asking for more adventures of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Finn (John Boyega), Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o), Zorii Bliss (Keri Russell) or some other character that we have seen. However, The Mandalorian will have parallel series such as Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), or Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff).
Did you like the end of The Mandalorian? Do you think this is the best Star Wars Disney has done since it bought LucasFilm?
