The Mandalorian (2019– )
I have doubts about the future of this show
16 August 2021
I started as a super fan from the first episode, but stuff happened to dampen my enthusiasm. Baby Yoda was given a bizarre name then was handed off to that whiney effeminate Luke Skywalker. Really, did anyone really take him for a warrior type? Then Gina Carano was unceremoniously dumped from the cast for political reasons. As one wit said brilliantly, "Texan Gina Carano broke barriers in the Star Wars universe: not a princess, not a victim, not some emotionally tortured Jedi.... She played a woman who kicked ass & who girls looked up to. She was instrumental in making Star Wars fun again. Of course Disney canceled her." She was a favorite character and the show loses luster with her gone. I know my husband misses her already. Anyone notice her character still shows up in parades featuring Star Wars? Then Pascal had to make social comments that I could understand up to a very limited point. Now he has lost his glow.

So no baby Yoda; No Cara Dune; Luke is back--big meh. What other damage will be done? I don't eagerly await a new season. I often forget there will be one. Maybe I should just keep the memory of the good times on The Madalorian like it's a beloved dead relative.
