I had less than zero expectations for this series after the disaster that was Book of Boba Fett, and the first two episode don't suck, but still get a resounding "meh" from me.

Calling it now, the Nightsister is one of the younglings from the beginning, who is somehow obsessed with Kenobi for not saving her or something lame.

The bounty hunters chasing Leia through the forest might be more embarrassing than that Mos Espa speeder chase in Book of Boba Fett. I had to pause it for a few minutes so I could laugh when that green alien ran into the tree branch.

I don't want to sound like a total negative nancy, so here are some things I liked: the meeting with Ben and Owen, the veteran hobo 501st Clone, Kumail being a fake Jedi for money, Flea getting non-RHCP work

$40 for a new headsculpt?

I spotted at least 10 Droids 3POs at a Walmart yesterday afternoon. This was near St. Louis. ???

Which city?

Granite City, IL (I've been here for work all week)

There's a LOT of cool stuff coming out soon, like the 20th Anniversary Legends. The Spider-Man 60th Anniversary figures from a few weeks back are awesome too, but I'm passing on most of them for space reasons.

Something weird must be going on because I saw the Target exclusive TVC Droids card 3PO at Walmart yesterday. And there were at least 10 on the pegs, so it wasn't like someone made a return with a swapped barcode.

I wound up canceling my preorder on the Merrick/Erso due to a variety of personal reasons, but Target was putting holds on my card for these for a few weeks too, which I thought was odd if these aren't ready to ship.

I recently traded for a Plo Koon figure, which arrived yesterday. Just need to track down Kit Fisto and a Geonosis Battle Droid and I'll be done with the red/black numbered line

I'll get Sev and the Comic Leia, maybe Vader and the Stormtrooper dude... and based on the emails I get from online stores, it's probably worth waiting to get everything in some sort of $40 bundle a few months after release.

I was in a small town in Florida for work last night and stopped by the Walmart and found the entire Archive wave with Revan, Leia, etc. I grabbed one 501st Clone and left the rest since I already have everything (or just don’t want the Kenobi). May pick up Leia for cheap later on but I already have 2 other versions of that figure and wonder if the new face paint apps are worth it on their own.

Hasbro Pulse delivered my 90s Retro Spidey Wave 2 a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to even open the box yet. Excited for the new Symbiote Spidey!

I know a few people who are holding out for Hammerhead to make mafia goons... and it may be smart. I've seen what appears to be solid cases of Hammerhead at two different Targets and a Walmart.

I'm in for the Republic Commando. I'll have to order in-store since Gamestop's website won't allow me to preorder anything for whatever reason.

After the last few Disney Star Wars shows, I have zero faith in this being any good, and I'm desperately trying to figure out a way that I can enjoy it. My biggest issue is that they've all but said Obi Wan is going to face off with Vader, which absolutely breaks the lore of the time between ROTS and ANH... maybe if I look at this as some sort of fan fiction.  :-\

What's weirder is that the Rex and Crosshair exclusives were both priced around $32  ???

Watch them insult us further by using the 2013 Stormtrooper sculpt for Kreel too, instead of the new one from 2020  :P

Finally got a chance to watch the finale after traveling out of the country for work.

Overall this show was really bad. The story was all over the place, stuff was introduced and then forgotten about... hell, Boba doesn't even appear in two full episodes. Also undoes the emotional finale of Mando Season 2 by bringing us right back to the status quo with The Travelin' Adventures of Din and Grogu. The characters were awful

As for the finale... that was the worst battle I think I've ever seen. Why on earth would they not hold up in Jabba's Palace, a literal armed fortress, instead of the blown up casino? Why don't they have any sort of ion cannons or ion weapons to take down those POTF2 Deluxe Figure Robots' shields? Why are the bad guys only able to hit Black ChrisHanson's bandolier, which only covers 10% of his body, tops? Why is Shand killing off the bad guy leaders (that scene was REALLY dark for Disney too) instead of Boba?

I wanted to like this show, I really did. But they've now ruined the Boba Fett character (had the story and timeline not been so inconsistent, that may not have happened), and actually kind of made me unexcited for Mandalorian Season 3.
