Mando can&#39;t be the lonely loner anymore. The contrast makes it fun.<br/><br/>The Book of Boba Fett however has two leads that are pretty much the same (both bounty hunters, few words, serious, etc.), and I think that&#39;s why Mando on the whole is much more enjoyable to watch. <br/><br/>Neither show is perfect, but it is nice to get #starwars content so can&#39;t complain!<br/><br/>Side note: Saw Baby Yoda with Mando at Disneyland, and it made for a pretty awesome day. 2023-03-01T16:36:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy5ylzunq604w6uyk9m4n4c6954vj3ehpj3xkf6ryxqyt6u4y284czyqatlpugnd5xnm3xg4jcehs82xmk6udg3zpmscz8esprncs9efdv7qtsv7h Overthinking what to post in a note is a difficult thing to overcome.<br/><br/>You can always delete the note.<br/><br/> …oh, no delete.<br/><br/>We’ll you can edit at least.<br/><br/> …oh, no edit.<br/><br/>No wonder I have anxiety about posting. 😅<br/><br/>Actually, I love nostr for all this.
