That Sweet Mandalorian Content You Love!

The Mandalorian is back and the first episode was great! The second episode is out today, and I’ll watch it later tonight. Can’t wait! Until then, here are a couple of cool Mandalorian things I’ve seen on the internet in the past week.

First up is this cool anime-style Mandalorian opening sequence by Malec. This thing is sweet as hell!

Heck yeah! That’s what the internet was made for: showing off the creative abilities of all us wonderful people in the world!

Next up is a cutesy Christmas short from Star Wars Kids, so it’s an official Star Wars production. It’s also in LEGO.

There’s a new LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special coming out later this month. You can check out the trailer here. It looks OK. I don’t watch the Star Wars LEGO movies and whatnot, so I don’t know if I’ll view this one.

But all of this reminds me that I still need to build that LEGO Razor Crest I bought…

The Mandalorian Returns Today!

Honestly, I’m very excited about The Mandalorian’s return. It’s a fun show, it’s an exciting show, I enjoy Star Wars; what’s not to love? Honest Trailers is definitely excited!

All of that makes sense to me! I can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for this upcoming episode and season. Will we get Boba Fett? Will we get Ahsoka Tano? Only time and upcoming weeks will tell!

How The Mandalorian Should Have Ended

The How It Should Have Ended gang has gone above and beyond for the first season of The Mandalorian, giving us alternate endings for all 8 episodes! Let’s give it up to these creative so-and-so’s!

Pretty funny stuff. And great animation, as always! They drew a glorious looking Mando.

Now we just have to sit back and wait another couple of weeks for the new season! Woohoo!

The Mandalorian Season 2 is No Place for The Child

The Mandalorian TV show returns on Oct. 30! Mando and The Child are out in space, on a journey of discovery! There’s gonna be action! There’s gonna be shooting! There’s maybe gonna be a race of enemy sorcerers!

Looks great! It’s just a teaser trailer for now. No sign of Ahsoka Tano or Boba Fett, both of whom are rumored to appear. But I can be patient. I can wait a month and a half and enjoy the show like everybody else. In the meantime, I still need to build my Razor Crest LEGO set.

It’s good to be excited about Star Wars again.

6 Thoughts on Star Wars Alphabet Squadron (Review)

Let’s talk some Star Wars! Specifically, let’s talk about the series of novels about Alphabet Squadron, the hip new starfighter squadron that’s roaring into our hopes and dreams. Even more specifically, let’s talk about how Alphabet Squadron is definitely not a replacement for the classic Rogue and Wraith squadron books of my youth.

Book Rating: 5/10 – Alright.

This might be my first ever book review on Henchman-4-Hire. I haven’t read any real novels or books for many years. But I’ve decided to pick it up again during the pandemic. Since Star Wars Expanded Universe novels were one of my favorites as a teen, I decided to scratch that itch once again with Alphabet Squadron, the first of three planned novels set in the new Disney continuity. Could it live up to my fond memories of the original X-Wing novels, a concept this new series was clearly trying to copy?

No, it could not. But I read it anyway and now I’m going to give you my thoughts on the Star Wars novel Alphabet Squadron! Join me after the jump for my review. Expect FULL SPOILERS for Alphabet Squadron.
