OK… its no secret that star wars is my wheelhouse. My groove (even though I SUCK at dancing). My Jam! My Babe Ruth’s called shot! My Michael Jordan’s “Nuthin’ but Net”. My double weapon specialization. Unfortunately there’s the universal truth that star wars fans cannot agree on anything. Not which of the movies is best. Not that Luke and Leah kissing was right or wrong. Not even how wrong… just plain WRONG… Jar Jar binks is and that he is a pox on the entire Star Wars universe on should never have existed! So I knew that The Mandalorian was going to have its work cut out for it.

Having said all that… I was still guardedly optimistic about the release of “The Mandalorian”. I mean… Jon Favreau DID start the MCU off with Iron Man. Dave Filoni WAS involved in ALL of the Clone Wars cartoon. Disney has been amazingly good at throwing oodles of cash at worthy projects. Still… guarded… very guardedly optimistic.

And then… episode 1, “The Client” came out. I could barely contain my eagerness! OK.. to be fair… I couldn’t.. and didn’t. I watched it at 4am… and then again at 5am… I made Sandy watch it on the way to work on my phone. I insisted that all my nerdy friends watch it IMIDIATELY… if not sooner! WHYYYY? Because the Star Wars universe had finally come out with something I knew was great… nay… EPIC!

Even more shockingly… ALL THE STAR WARS NERD UNIVERSALLY LOVED IT! I’m soo happy right now! Even better… our little podcast is going to talk about all thinks Mandalorian! I’m in nerdvana! So, lets get to it! How far did this opening series make your lightsaber go up? A little? Halfway? FULLY EXTENDED? Somebody start before I cant contain myself!
