There will always only be one movie named "Michael" in my heart, and it's with John Travolta wearing angel wings, goddammit!

I gotta be honest: the Mandalorian movie is one that I'm the least excited for. And I used to be excited for everything Star Wars.

Mandalorian was just so meh and bland imo. Especially after that first season.

I think the second season had its ups and downs:

  • "The Marshal" was a good episode, Timothy Olyphant (as always) is a great marshal.
  • "The Jedi" was also fantastic. It's a shame they couldn't capture what made it great into whatever it became in Ahsoka. Somehow Boba Fett was even worse yet initially it seemed like an easy hit (grey hat headhunter headhunts across the galaxy).
  • I'm split with the Bo-Katan episodes. On one side, I think that "The Heiress" was fun to watch, but because the story becomes a puddle of nothing, in retrospect, I wouldn't watch it again.

Finally, the final chapter was a reflection of how the season went: Good ideas mixed with a different format and feel from the original season, with great moments and a sarlacc pit of boring stuff, and when consequences had to be had, the season shied from having them (because let's keep the characters).

Big year for distinctively dressed 80s alleged paedophiles with the Savile gang in 28 Years Later and now this.

I kind of deleted that ending from my mind; I had to search it because your statement seemed like the ramblings of a madman. And yet, it did happen, there was a "Clockwork Orange"-like Saville gang at the end of that movie for no fucking good reason, and I completely forgot it...

Disclosure Day seems like a very interesting premise, but the fact that it is Spielberg and David Koepp, brings me no hope. Koepp shouldn't get any work after whatever "Jurassic World Rebirth" was.

Michael actually looks pretty good tbh, being around back then it's kind of hard to describe just how popular and beloved his music was, across all boundaries. It was kind of uniting, looking back now at least. I think it'll be a popular movie.
