Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer Reaction Video!
After watching 2 minutes of this video, I'm sold.
This is cool. I would listen to a preacher who was into anime and could draw parallels to the scripture
Father why haven’t you finished the show but I understand bc of the this show did on the third episode
Thank you👍 Just recently I watched the Evangelion Films again and I thought it could be "fallen angels" that attack mankind.
So did you give up on the Acolyte ?
The trailer was better than what was released, as a fan for 38 years, Frozen Empire was a let down. Good beginning, slow tedious middle, short ending, no good music or anything that felt like 84.
Thank you father Evangillion is my favourite anime
What are your thoughts on the latest episode did you feel it was too dark and anti Christian? I am curious to know your thoughts
I need to get into this franchise
I understood the end credit scene but I still don't understand the the title "book of boba fett"
Father Roderick I am thrilled that you have such insightful content. I was an active member of the old Virtual Edition Forums back in the late 90s-early 00s. Wishing you all the best!
I watched it and loved it! I also read the books but the only thing I wish they could update is the cover art for the books. Something similar to the art of WH40k covers.
Hi Father. A bit off topic, but I was trying to find which podcast episode that you mentioned the B12 issues that you had after switching to being vegan. What symptoms did you have during that time? If there is a better place to ask things like this, do let me know and I'll move over.
You are doing God's work.
Amazing analysis🎉 .. when I watched Evangelion I was in 7th grade. It took me a second rewatch to figure out all those details.
love your balanced take on this show. the music and sets feel like star wars, although I am suspending judgement until the finale. Finales make or break a show for me. For me the most important things are character arcs, dialogue and the message of the show.
I found your channel after watching neon genesis evangelion, and recently I’ve been trying to become more religious as my family was never religious and I wanted to say thank you, your videos are helping me want to go out and read the verses you say in these videos or read about the topics mentioned in these videos.
One of the only Star Wars related channels that actually takes a step back and analyses Star Wars in a relaxed way. Thank you for the breath of fresh air 🙂
I was frustrated with how quickly Master Torbin went for the poison. For one, I thought if he was mediating for years, surely he would have come to an insight of his past that was plaguing him, and two, Torbin did not strike me as someone who is a Jedi Master, who couldn’t see past their transgressions and see the other, and be willing to admit fault. But I suppose the point is nobody is perfect. Luke isolated and blamed himself for creating Kylo Ren for instance, and it took him time to ‘come back to himself’ like the prodigal. I think you may be right about Sol having a chance to bring Mae back, will see what the rest of the series holds. Thanks for your breakdown Fr!
Thanks for your take. Have a beautiful week
Good lighting!
Thanks!
Listening to your reflection made me think back to this struggle in so many Star Wars stories. I haven't heard much talk about this theme. How much we need to hear it! Thank you for making this video.
I'm trying to do more of these types of reflections. I'm not sure if it's too heavy handed or too preachy, but at least it's different from all the toxic hatred Star Wars seems to attract nowadays...
Acoylte is pretty good so far, still hoping we get a sith focused show/movie at some point
Maybe that's still to come in this series.
I'm glad that you're liking this series so far and finding some thematic resonance.
I enjoy the series very much, there are always so many layers in these stories...
Nice to see someone not following the long line of people bashing this show before they have given it a real chance. I turned off Andor after the first episode and later went back and thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like people hating here should do the same.
I am so baffled by the negativity of a segment of the fanbase. If people hate Star Wars so much, why don't they just go watch something else?
Finally. Someone who has something meaningful to say about the show. Grief is something in life that we all have to bear. Sometimes more than we would like.
I like how the writers don't shy away from themes like this. Can't wait to see how the series will resolve the story arcs of Osha and Mae.
Star Wars can teach us so much about life. Thank you, Father for leading us down a path of understanding and a way we Star Wars fans can become better human beings for ourselves and others.
The first episodes are great. The haters don't know what they talk about when they trash them around. Master Sol is already one of my favorite characters!
I'm also a fan of the way in which Master Sol is portrayed. I hope his character will be around at the end of the season for future stories!
@@FatherRoderick that's damn right, although I suspect he'll sacrifice himself while trying to turn Mae to the light side, in atonement for having failed to save her as a child. The use of an Asian actor for the character is great. Given the Samurai and Buddhist heritage of Star Wars, it's long overdue.
Love the commentary. Very insightful. You can definitely see the grief that Master Sol is dealing with as well. He seems to be dealing with it by administering compassion towards others. Really enjoyed your outlook on this show.
We will probably see much more of what caused all that grief in flashbacks in future episodes. It may help us see these first episodes in a totally different light.
Finally, you said something about Jesus. Congratulation.
Glad to be of service.
Psalm 37:8: "Don't give in to worry or anger; it only leads to trouble".
Sounds just like Yoda 😉
yes yes yes. thank you! 🙏
You're so welcome!
And sometimes you think you've processed your grief, but something (a song, a memory, a photograph) will resurface the feelings again, and you realize you'll always carry some of that grief with you. Jesus himself was not immune from sorrow. It's part of being truly human.
True. Wounds can heal, but scars remain.
Videos like this are why we all love you so much! Thank you! <3
Thank you!
Your analysis struck a chord with me. Thank you❤
There is truly no “right way” to grieve or an “appropriate” measure of time. Thank you for posting this and acknowledging settling in with opening one’s heart to grieve can be healthy and spiritually beneficial.
This reflection is so important, Father. SO important. I hope you will share more about this as the series progresses.
Is this gentleman a real priest? What faith/denomination?
I'm a Catholic priest, check out my website FatherRoderick.com
@@FatherRoderick Thank you for your response, Father. I’ve never heard of a priest having a CZcams channel. I haven’t seen any of your other videos. I just found it interesting that you were covering a pop-culture event.
Definitely looking forward to this, I saw the preview scene at the end of Episode I in theaters and my mind was blown away, I really cannot wait to see this tonight and thanks for the review!
When we have Faith we have Force.
Very intriguing review! A couple questions: what have been your favorite Disney-era soundtracks so far? And is there any type of opening crawl or something to introduce more casual fans to the concept of the High Republic and its place in the timeline?
I liked the score for the first season of The Mandalorian because it was so different from anything we had heard before. Some other series mixed various styles, but nothing memorable. This Acolyte Soundtrack is on par with the movies though. There is a variation on the opening crawl to introduce the story, but the setting of the High Republic is mostly the backdrop for a solid story that would work in any period; you don't need to have any prior knowledge of the High Republic.
the story wasn't even mentioned lol. That is the most important thing
I didn't want to spoil anything. But it's a good story so far.
Nice, I am looking forward to watching it tonight!
Hope you enjoy it!
Sounds good, what was the run time of the episodes please?.
Around 40 minutes each. Felt like a good length, since both episodes had quite a bit of action and a variety of locations.
Thanks fir for that, look forward to watching it.
Agreed
👍🏻
I saw one of the scenes previewed in the cinema when I went to watch the 25th anniversary re-release of The Phantom Menace last month and the first thing I thought was the score was SO John Williams and I couldn’t be happier about that. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack!
It's the best soundtrack since the prequels if you ask me.
@@FatherRoderick that is great to hear! I am so excited! I would not have become a musician if it wasn’t for John Williams’ original trilogy score!
While it's hard to judge a whole show on only the first two episodes, your review really makes me hopeful!!! There were some things that the creator of the show said beforehand that made me a bit worried, but the sheer premise of the story being set during the High Republic is too intriguing to be ignored!
I hope you're going to enjoy the series just as much as I did!
I am actually looking forward to this after seeing some of the reactions. I love Old Republic stuff and this will finally bring that vision to the screen.
It is so cool to see the Jedi Temple and the Jedi in a different era!
So excited to hear your opinion of the score! I’m so eager to hear it and have been hoping it would have that John Williams sound!
It is a stunning score. Feels as if John Williams is back.
: ) ❤
