The only bit I liked was that Palpatine had a vision of their invasion and realized he had to unite the galaxy to succeed, and that's why he built the Empire.

I absolutely refuse attempts to justify Palpatine or assign any benevolence to his actions.

Star Wars was apparently never that big in India, how are folks back in the real world feeling about the Mandalorian movie?

I feel like my social media feed should be full of stuff but it's not. If I hadn't looked up the release date I'd have no idea it's coming.

I’m excited for it.

Big fan of the show, and there are some teasers up on D+ which have me enthused.

Patiently waiting for it to come out, but not overly hyped.

I wonder how it will work for those who haven't watched the whole show.

Because I saw season 1 and that's all.

My wife is really excited to see it. I’m about half as hyped to see Grogu as I am to see that A24 movie where rocks become buildings or some gak. I probably would have forgotten about Grogu if they didn’t play the trailer before Project Hail Mary.

Bought me ticket. 4DX and 3D. So a week Friday around 17:20 I’ll be settling in, and no doubt be promptly thrown out me chair!

I'm planning to see it but expecting it to be so so and dreading the deluge of hate its sure to accrue online. It's such a hard fanbase to get excited about these days.

Seeing it opening day. I’ll happily point out where I think folks saying it’s not good haven’t actually seen it.

Which won’t be all of them. But it will be some of them. Sadly.

Reminds me of a Viz strip called Ivan Jellical, which I absolutely cannot share on Dakka, where he and his church buddies are protesting Harry Potter, making all sorts of accusations about its content whilst clearly knowing nothing about it.

I lost interest in Star Wars long ago, in a geography far, far away......

One of my favorite recent Star Wars things was a super cut of people pushing buttons and flicking switches in Star Wars shows.

A friend & I are planning to see it opening weekend. Exact day/time to be determined.

I expect to be over-charged & at least moderately entertained.

I'm looking forward to it, not enough to actually go to the cinema, but I'll see it eventually.

I do need to actually get around to watching season 3 of The Mandolorian though. I've been putting it off because I need to watch the Boba Fett series first, and that I've been putting off because I was waiting for it's Blu-ray release, unfortunately Disney seems to have given up on physical releases for it's streaming shows again.

You really don't. You can easily just watch the 2 episodes of Boba Fett that have nothing to do with the plot of Boba Fett and you'll get everything you need to know for Mando 3. Technically Din is in the last episode of Boba as well but he really adds nothing to it and nothing happens that matters for his own show. The two episodes prior are pretty vital as part of the big reset they've been pushing.
