The Mandalorian Man : A Star Wars Podcast

And just like that, it's over. The second and final season of Andor comes to and end with "Jedha, Kyber, Erso", and just as expected it leads us right into Rogue One, which I need to rewatch again as soon as possible.And did you catch that music at the end? Go back if you didn't (because I sure didn't the first time!)It was fun catching up on this show and podcast - got off to a late start, but was worth it in the end because of how excellent this entire series was. The Mandalorian Man will return - as soon as Disney Plus gives us another live-action Star Wars show....or maybe sooner.Until then - MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

As promised, I am back with part two of the Andor Finale, Who Else Knows? Some great robot moments in this episode and a cliffhanger that had me hanging on the edge of my chair. So more like a chairhanger - which sounds gross for some reason.One more to go Star Wars fans!!!!

Here we are - the final three episodes of Andor. For most of us, it's already over. We've already watched how Andor comes to an...Endor (oof) - but for this episode and the one that follows I do not know what happens next. This was recorded minutes after watching Make It Stop and seconds before moving on to watch the next episode.I watched and recorded all of my thoughts last night and will be releasing the final three episodes of the podcast, starting with this one, throughout the day.

And just like that, I am finally caught up with the rest of you and ready for the final three episodes of Andor. While Episode 8 was one of the best episodes of television I've maybe ever seen (too much?), they followed it up with a perfect ending to this block of episodes with Welcome to the Rebellion.

This was an incredible episode of television. There's no other way to describe it. I was on edge almost the entire time. Incredible storytelling. Incredible acting. Incredible directing.Have I said incredible enough? It was that good. Emmy voters pay attention. Just remarkable. "Who Are You?" is Star Wars at its very best. 

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. I watched this episode right after watching episode 6, but then did not record my thoughts until the following day. I think it shows - drastically. I swear episode 8 will be much better as I recorded that (and episode 9) right after watching those episodes. But there is no looking back! Once I record it - it's done. I'm like a big, dumb, podcasting shark. Always moving forward. So...Enjoy my episode on Messenger?

Ahoy there Star Wars fans! You wouldn't know it by this being only episode six, but I am now fully caught up on season 2 of Andor! I've watched and recorded episodes for episodes 6-9 and will be releasing them all today. First up, the last part of the second block of episodes, What a Festive Evening!

Star Wars Day is behind us. It's in the past. No looking back. Just keep moving forward - which is what I did this morning in my attempt to catch up on Andor before week three. Today I watched and talked about the fifth episode of season 2, I Have Friends Everywhere. One more to go and I'm in the same boat with the rest of you punks!

Andor may have jumped ahead one year, but Andor with Candor jumped ahead one episode. After completing that first block of three, I found time today on the actual Star Wars Day, to talk about the fourth episode.At the time of this posting, I haven't watched episodes 5 or 6 yet - and I am starting to think that is becoming whatever you call the day after Star Wars Day....Oh yeah - that's Cinco de Mayo!MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU MY FELLOW FRIENDS!

Look at that! I told you would be posting the first buch of episodes of this final season of ANDOR all at once. I literally watched these first three episodes back-to-back-to-back while recording my thoughts after each one. I truly is a Star Wars Day miracle.MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

Star Wars Day continues as I publish yet another episode covering the final season of ANDOR. Trying to get caught up for the latest week - but will I make it? Ooh the suspense is palpatine - I mean palpable.MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

"Better late than never." Those words were first spoken by George Washington when his new wooden teeth finally arrived. I think.They are also the sentiment I am feeling when I - FINALLY - bring you the beginning on the second (and final) season of ANDOR. I have some very good reasons and maybe a couple excuses - but yesterday I finally sat down and watched the first three episodes of the new season and ANDOR - and today I watched the fourth episode.So buckle up Star Wars fans - you're getting all four episodes at once. Not a bad way to celebrate Star Wars Day, right?MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

We did it Crewnies! We made it through another Star Wars series on Disney Plus! Just a few hours ago I watched the season finale of "Skeleton Crew" but I fell asleep before getting this show up! The good thing is, my dog woke me up at 4:00am so I can put the show up now. I should probably go back to sleep though. Anyway, it's been fun talking Star Wars with you again, I'll see you for the next series - but until then enjoy as I talk about "The Real Good Guys" and remember - CREWNIES NEVER SAY DIE!

I can't believe after the this there is only one more episode of "Skeleton Crew" and one more episode of this podcast left! I think this episode did a nice job of setting up some major tension, showing us who the villain seemingly is, and leaving us still with more answers that we hopefully get answered next week! The way this last episode ended, when Fern said "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," she had no idea just how true that statement was!

Happy New Year, Crewnies! Yes, I stayed up and watched some Ryan Seacrest with my wife last night5 and did not watch the latest "Skeleton Crew" until the following year. Which thankfully was today. Just finished it a little while ago and immediately started recording. Not a ton happened in this episode, titled "Zero Friends Again," but I'm still having fun!

Happy Holidays, Crewnies! Yes, I know that I am a couple days late talking the latest episode of "Skeleton Crew" but I have a good excuse...I didn't do it until now. I mean, let's be honest - that's the greatest, most accurate excuse ever. But I'm finally here after taking a few extra holiday days off talking about the latest Crewnie adventure, "You Have a Lot to Learn About Pirates." And bonus, if you're accessing this episode on Spotify or YouTube you can watch me talk about this episode and never remember Jude Law's characters name!

Ahoy Crewnies! Happy Tuesday Night and Happy "Skeleton Crew" night! This episode takes place all on one planet. Not a lot happens, but the mystery grows deeper concering the kids planet even though SM-33 continues to tell them... "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin."

Aye, eye Crewnies! I'm back talking a brand new episode of of "Skeleton Crew!" The adventure continues as the mystery deepens. It's not only, "will these kids get home" but also "what are the secrets that their home holds" in another great episode, episode 3 - "Very Interesting, As An Astrogration Problem."

Welcome back space cadets! Getting this episode out a little later than I originally planned - but finally I was able to sit down today and talk about another fun episode of "Skeleton Crew!" Seems like we've set up our adventure AND they've given us a little bit mystery as we found our heroes - "Way, Way Out Past The Barrier."

Greetings fellow space nerds! The Mandalorian Man is BACK with a brand new adventure watching every episode of the new Disney+ Star Wars show, "Skeleton Crew!" Not to tip my hand at all, but I thought this first episode was totally wizard! So sit back and relax as I talk about the Skeleton Crew series premiere, "This Could Be A Real Adventure."

Hello fellow Space Opera fans! It's finale night and I stayed up way too late getting this episode done. My dog really wanted to walk super late tonight. And then again. So I'm tired and need to go to sleep - but not before getting this episode out discussing the season finale of the Acolyte! Until next time - May that Force be next to you!

Greetings cool kids! Tuesday night just happened - which means that we get an all new episode of the The Acolyte! Choice is the penultimate episode (how is there not an infomercial for something called the "Penultimate" - the world's greatest writing instrument? Okay, let me get back on track...). Is next week the end of the season or the series? Only time will tell. We got a lot of answers in this episode, but I wonder if any of it will change the mind anyone (both in the show and us watching at home). This week I decided to put the episode out on video - so if you're on Spotify or YouTube, you have a chance to see the face of the man my wife calls "handsome" (she doesn't use air quotes, but it'd be hilarious if she did).

What up fellow space nerds!? I'm back again with a look at the latest episode of The Acolyte, Teach / Corrupt. As much as I wasn't in love with the last episode - I really enjoyed this one and am intrigued on where they could go with the final two installments.

Hello Alcolyters - I'm bac again on a Tuesday night (and by that I mean Wednesday morning) talking about the latest episode of The Acolyte, Night. Last week I thought not enough happened - and this week a lot happened....But did I like it? Hmm, you're going to have to listen and find out. I COMMAND YOU TO LISTEN NOW! (did that work?)

Happy Acolyte Day Star Wars nerds! Tonight I talked about the most recent episode, Day (not sure I get the title). It was short, and not much happened - but that ending was very cool. And much like it, this episode of the podcast is short, not much happens - but it features a very cool song and voicemail sent in from listener @thejudahzadok - follow him on Instagram if you want to be cool and someday be able to claim you followed a famous musician early in their career....

Happy Tuesday...Okay, it's Wednesday morning technically here on the east coast of the US, but being way past my bed time didn't stop me from talking about the next episode of the Acolyte, episode 3, Destiny.

I'm back already! The Acolyte had a two-episode premiere, so The Acolyte Tonight has a two episode premiere as well. Yup, that's what I decided to call this Mandalorian Man series, even though I completely forgot to mention it in either of tonight's episodes. It's late I'm tired. But I did enjoy this episode and the mystery is getting more in-depth in part two, "Revenge / Justice"

The Podcast Strikes Back! Yes folks it's been too many months since you last heard from me, but your Mandalorian Man is back discussing not one - but two episodes of the brand new Star Wars Disney+ show, "The Acolyte." In this episode I talk about part one of a two part premiere, "Lost / Found."

Welcome back fellow mere droids! It's (finally) time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 8th episode of Ahsoka, "Part Eight: The Jedi, The Witch, And The Warlord." Well, this is it - the season finale of Ahsoka is finally here, which means this is the last time you'll be hearing for me for a while. But with that said, this episode was good and really leaves you wanting more. May those (yes those) Stormroopers be with you!

Welcome back fellow mere droids! It's (finally) time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 7th episode of Ahsoka, "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness." After waiting too many days last time I wanted to be sure to get this episode (which I really enjoyed) out to you as quickly as possible! May the Great Mothers (mine being the greatest since it's her birthday) be with you!

Welcome back fellow Creepy Stormtroopers! It's (finally) time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 6th episode of Ahsoka, "Part Six: Far, Far Away." This episode is coming out a few days late because I've been sick!!! But I finally feel good enough today to return to the world of mediocre podcasting. You're welcome, galaxy. May the Space Rock/Crab People be with you!

Welcome back fellow clones! It's time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 5th episode of Ahsoka, "Part Five: Shadow Warrior." This episode seemed like a love letter to the fans of Clone Wars, and for those not quite as knowledgable, just some cool, cool Star Wars stuff. May the Space Flashbacks be with you!

Welcome back nerf herders! It's time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 4th episode of Ahsoka, "Part Four: Fallen Jedi." I'm starting to realize some things that seem cool on this show would be even more cool if I realized what they were referencing. May the Laser Swords be with you!

Welcome back fellow space nerds! It's time for more of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 3nd episode of Ahsoka, "Part Three: Time to Fly." I almost started this episode singing some REO Speedwagon, but I realize the name of their song is slightly different. Not sure why I told you that. May the Space Whales be with you!

Welcome back Star Wars fans! to episode two of "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" where today I talked about the 2nd episode of Ahsoka, "Part Two: Toil and Trouble." I can't think of anything clever to type here, so I'll just say - go listen to it, and do it now! May the Space Cats be with you!

Greetings Star Wars fans! I'm back talking about another new live-action Star Wars Disney+ series with today's premiere of Ahsoka! This special series is cleverly titled, "The Ahsoka Ahshowka" which really looks weird when you spell it out... Today the first two episodes of Ahsoka premiered, but I am only talking about the first one in this episode as I've only watched the first one. But fear not, tomorrow (or actually later today) I will be back with another brand new episode discussing episode two - and I'll be back every Tuesday with new episodes! May the Star Wars be with you!

Here we are...face to face, a couple of silver spoons.....Sigh. That's all I can say is - sigh. It's over. Season 3 of The Mandalorian AND Season 3 of The Mandalorian Man are officially done. Today I am here talking about the latest and last (for now) episode - "Chapter 24: The Return." For whatever people are saying about this season, I think it ended on an enjoyable/satisfying note. Was there that jaw-dropping moment like what we got waaaay back in season 2? Well, I'm sure as heck (I apologize for the language) not going to spoil it here in case you are reading this before you watched the episode. All I will say is, that I (me, myself) was happy with how it ended regardless of how we got here - and I'm not even saying that as a negative. I'm just saying that with everything they set up last week, I left smiling this week. Smiling - and ready for more.

Thanks to everyone in this hive of scum And villainy who come back week after week to hear lil ol' me talk Star Wars! I'm back talking another rad episode of The Mandalorian – "Chapter 23: The Spies." This episode REALLY sets up for a big finale, as well as a bigger overall Star Wars story being told in these show – but fair warning: I got almost no sleep last night, watched the episode about 12 hours before I talked about it, and took almost no notes. Does it show? Um, yeah probably – but let's be honest, you don't keep coming back here for dynamic in-depth discussion right? You come back because I'm paying you! (Imagine being that one guy who's like – wait, I haven't gotten paid yet!)

Hey there all you cocky kids, I'm back talking another funky episode of The Mandalorian - "Chapter 22: Guns for Hire" - with robots, detective work, and cameos galore! But will our heroes get what they need to take back Mandalore? Yup, that rhymed.

Hey Fuzzballs! Hi, it's me. I'm the Mandalorian Man, it's me. Is that still cool to riff on? If not and you think that joke is already old, then I'm glad I didn't use the "Wayne's World" reference I was originally going to lead with. Anywho, today I'm back talking the newest episode of The Mandalorian - "Chapter 21: The Pirate" - in which my SNL intro almost kinda make sense. Schwing!

Hey Nerf Herders! I'm back to talk about the latest episode of The Mandalorian - "Chapter 20: The Foundling" - where we get a very cool flashback from Grogu while Din and Bo are off saving some kid that Grogu beat at paintball. Enjoy!

Hey Star Warriors! I'm back to talk about the latest episode of The Mandalorian - "Chapter 19: The Convert" - where our hero and his trusty sidekick Grogu….don't really do much - but that leaves room to catch up with some other characters we haven't thought about in quite some time.

Happy Wednesday fellow Star Warriors...yeah I'm not feeling that one either, but too late. My back arrow key is stuck so I can't go back and edit that. I better be really careful with how I spell stuff going foward - oh no, I jinxed myself. Better wrap this up before I mes up again. Oh great, now the grammar police are sure to come after me. Anywho, today I watched the brand new episode of The Mandalorian - "Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore" which I thoroughly enjoyed and I hope you enjoy me tallking about it. Dammit!

For two years and three months, we waited (not so) patiently for the return of the Mandalorian. We saw him and Grogu get reunited in Boba Fetts' spinoff, but that wasn't enough. We wanted the REAL THING back and finally - finally - FINALLY - The Mandalorian returns for season 3 and that means the O.G. Mandalorian Man is back to talk about Chapter 17: The Apostate! STAR WAAAAAARS BABY!!!!!!!

This isn't a goodbye. This is just a "see you until next time!" Today I watched the fantastic season finale of the fantastic ANDOR and I couldn't wait to talk about it. I mean I DID wait until almost the end of the day to watch it and podcast about it - but I didn't want to....So saying I couldn't wait was a lie. Wait, what am I talking about? Oh yeah - great end to a great season of a great series! Can't wait to see what comes next from ANDOR and what comes next for live-action Star Wars on Disney+. Whatever it is, the Mandalorian Man will be there to talk about it. May the force be with you - and shine on you crazy (Neil) diamond! STAR WARS!!!!

It's the last Wednesday before the next Wednesday that is the Wednesday that will have the last episode of Andor! And today I am talking the last episode of Andor before the LAST episode of Andor for this season. Don't worry - I'm annoyed by myself at this point too. Good episode (as usual) that I think really sets up for what should be a fantastic finale. But again - that is NEXT Wednesday. Until then my blue milk drinking friends....

Happy Wednesday Space Fight fans! What else is there to say about this episode except that Andy Serkis is a gift to the world and the Emmys should not ignore him or this show! Another great one and I can only imagine what we have in store for the final two. LET'S GO!

Greetings fellow Warring Star friends! Hope everyone had a great Halloween! A new episode of Andor came out today so I thought - why not do the same thing I do every Wednesday and talk about it! So I did! I really enjoyed this episode and I think next week is going to be a great one based on what was set up today. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

Greetings from planet Earth! I come to you today with the assumption that someday, many many years from now this podcast will be transmitted through space to another planet. And then the (obviously cool) person who listens to this can be asked - hey where did you find such amazing entertainment? And that person can respond, oh this? This is from a long time ago, from a galaxy far, far away.... Get it!? Took me long enough, but I think I landed that....Enjoy the show!

Happy Wednesday fellow nerds! I'm back with another Andor with Candor covering the latest episode of that Disney+ Series....not the one about the musical show about a musical show - though there was some upbeat music in this one. Nope, I'm talking about the latest episode of Andor that I thought was - well in one word - great! Now go make yourself a tuna fish sandwich, crack open a can of Moxie, and listen to me as I attempt to talk Andor without going off on too many tangents. Spoiler, I fail at that last part.
