The Real Good Guys

I really loved this show! Up until the last episode. I loved the style even if it felt a bit too much with the pirate hats and pirate guns and thick sailingboat nets in space in a spaceship. I loved the pirate style, it brought back memories, it felt like if we loved these when we were kids then why shouldnt kids today like it? Right? It was a nice adventure the kids were cute and adorable, the story was fun. But then we arrived to At Attin end it felt like the writers ran out of ideas. Not just ran out of ideas but totally failed. I don't know who made what decision, probably some producers, but the last episode was a total failure. The story got rushed all of a sudden, so many things happened in such a short time it became nonsense, it had so many mistakes and illogical plots and decisions that it was very painful to watch and finish. It ruined a lot for me. It made not want to watch it anymore. Instead of trying to make me feel impatient to see what is going to happen it made not care at all. There was no cliffhanger there was only disappointment. Such a shame.

Once again, another series that suffers from the lazy writing that Star Wars has become under Disney. The turn of Jude Law's character was sloppily handled. This entire episode was rushed just to tie things up in a pretty pink bow.

The ending of the previous episode was wasted. The menace that supposedly was there was lazy set aside. It was a cheap way to create suspense. The way that the adults were written was quite bad. I also thought that the overseer would have better protection and would not have been so vulnerable as it was.

Once again, we have a series that does not understand, nor does it honor, its source material.

You know that wonderful feeling of having something exciting to wake up to on the weekend? This is it. This is what makes good Star Wars and if you are on the sidelines not sure if you should watch this show because of the horrible recent Disney stuff lately, you're missing out.

It captures what makes the original Star Wars fun and adventurous. The stakes feel real, the characters feel real. The writing is top tier and the production value is on par with Andor.

If Disney has one mainline show like Andor, and 1-2 of these smaller budget, could be one off adventures in the Star Wars universe, you got subscription. What did well here is capture the wonder that Star Wars has. If there isn't a season 2, make an animated adventure series or give these same writers another series. You got a winning team here.

It's been really fun to see the show and its development, how you've built a connection with these characters and it really pays off in this finale because the stakes are really high.

Everything that's been built up from the previous episodes comes together here, it's a lot of what you'd expect but the way it's done makes it special.

Especially after the weak final episodes since Mando S2, it's refreshing to finally see a good conclusion to the story, even if it leaves a lot unanswered that hopefully will be answered in a second season or the Mandoverse movie.

Star Wars has finally tried something completely new and succeeded on a creative level, hopefully they take the positives with them.

Boy, this episode was action packed and had some TENSE moments. I had high hopes that we'd be tossed a curveball here, something to get the fan base going, but for the most part the writers stuck a landing with little frills. This felt like the safe move.

I will again shoutout the marvelous work of the composer Mick Giacchino. Definitely the strongest work since Goransson on Mando.

I find it so interesting that the two weakest episodes of the season were directed by the show creator, Jon Watts. The only way I can articulate it is that his episodes just didn't have the same magic that the others did. Don't get me wrong, still good, but I'm left wanting.
