Have finally started The Mandalorian, did not expect this alien rodeo humor, 10/10 so far

also definitely gonna start ending every conversation with “I have spoken”

WHERE’S THE BB THOUGH

BABY YODA BABY YODA BABY YODA

all i want out of life is to be a small green baby in a floating car seat with no responsibilities

AHHHHHHHH LIL' FORCE BABY LIFTED A WHOLE-ASS SPACE RHINO

and now he's all tuckered out

AN ANGEL

i do not want children but i DO want to adopt a baby yoda, i feel like i could sell @alice_v_smith on this

"Solitary Curmudgeon Grudgingly Adopts Chaos Child" really is one of my favorite genres of anything

adults who talk to babies with a totally straight face like they're just extremely short adults ALWAYS makes me laugh

i do this myself constantly when i encounter babies (for my own amusement; the babies, obviously, do not get the joke)

me @ Mando in episode 4

my friend Jesse was roasting me for how long it took me to get around to this show and I explained that IN MY DEFENSE i have a hard time motivating myself to watch anything that doesn't have hot ladies and he was like "gina carano!" and i was like "right-wing ladies don't count"

ALL THE KIDS IN THE VILLAGE WANT TO PLAY WITH BABY YODA THIS IS RELATABLE CONTENT!!!!!!!

i love how the theme of every episode is "The Mandalorian is offered the chance to be a good person, turns it down, then five minutes later grumpily changes his mind"

I ship Mando and the soft village mom

if anything happens to her I will LOSE it

honestly they could just swap out Marie Avgeropoulos for Gina Carano with the same haircut and not address it at all and I bet most people would be fine with it

obviously I know if this happened there would be no show but i'm solidly in favor of Mando just ditching the helmet, marrying the nice widow, and settling down in the cute village to raise a baby yoda in peace

"DIRECTED BY BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD"???????? love this journey for her

I appreciate this because it’s important to me to know that he is hot even if we never get objective confirmation https://twitter.com/deelaundry/status/1350058884480819200

The Lord spoke to me and said if you have to start your Friday with a 9:30 am gynecologist appointment you’re legally allowed to spend the rest of the day watching The Mandalorian and drinking coffee in your jammies so let’s ride

These space battles feel worthy of the name of Star Wars tbh like this is good shit

also I just really love this kicky little theme song???

MOS EISLEY?!??!?????????

@ Hollywood cast them in a gay romcom you cowards https://twitter.com/anneursu/status/1350167318970703877

IS THAT AMY SEDARIS

I love how literally everyone who sees Baby Yoda just immediately wants to pick him up and cuddle him, even the grumpy Mos Eisley spaceship mechanic

IT’S THE CANTINA

I’m so happy I might cry

omg he’s hunting for Ming-Na Wen, very excited for a milf to enter this story

especially what sounds like a milf assassin

“RAWR RAWR GRUMP GRUMP NO I WILL NOT HELP YOU”

“but reasons”

*furious sigh of exasperation* “FINE, I WILL HELP YOU”

this is every single episode

Tusken Raiders! Banthu!! Zippin’ across the desert on SPACE BIKES!!!!! God I love Star Wars

Ming-Na Wen looks so good wtf

Mando is about to be the lone Order Muppet on a five-man crew of Chaos Muppets, and I absolutely cannot wait to see how this goes wrong

Something I really like about this show is that the Big Mythology is there in the background but the show really only cares about how it affects the scrappy folks on the fringes

like how no one really wants Imperial money anymore, or why a pre-Empire ship is useful

I swear to god this droid is voiced by either Jack Davenport or Steve Coogan and it’s going to make me crazy trying to guess without cheating

I’m like .... 95% sold on Davenport

update, apparently I was wrong and it’s Richard Ayoade, who I also adore and who frankly should be in everything

“ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY MANAGERIAL STYLE, XI’AN??????”

I am. screaming

I would watch an entire show called “How the Fuck Has This Crew Ever Successfully Completed a Single Job”

nooooooooooooooooo THEY LOCKED HIM UP WHO’S GONNA RAISE HIS CHILD NOW oh nvm he’s already taken care of it

This is PERFECTLY expressed and really gets at why it’s so much fun

the Star Wars universe is so big that there are infinity jillion kinds of stories you could tell inside it that don’t all have to be about the Jedi or the Skywalkers or the balance of power in the galaxy https://twitter.com/cboxwriter/status/1350185071580499969
