Show, Don't Tell: The Mandalorian vs. The Last Jedi

I'm curious what you think Rey's cave scene meant, what it is that her voice-over summed up. To take your critique as you present it, you seem to think that narration or dialog reflection is always bad. I don't think you understand what "show, don't tell" actually means. It doesn't mean that characters shouldn't talk about their actions.

I just finished watching The Creator, and it reminded me of this video.

Din Djarin isn't explaining to the audience. He is explaining to Grogu. That only makes the show better.

I definitely want to see Mandalorian now.

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One: Loaded with telling instead of showing.

Omg this guys real simple minded only seeing what he wants to see. He describes one of the original movie scenes positively even though the emperor is "narrating"

does Disney ever wonder why the Mandalorian was more successful than the Sequel Trilogy?

You make some great points about storytelling, but i was just lost with the shit going on with Rey and skywalker. But i needed something to go on with yoda and luke, and got a kernal of wisdom...failure is the greatest teacher. The return of the jedi scene where luke is suppose to just casually swap places with his father to serve the emperor seemed corny as hell. Like jumping to the dark side is a two minute conversion. Anakin took a while to fall and was under extreme duress. The Empire killed his aunt, uncle, mentor. The dark side his mom and dad so he is going to join it. His friends are anchoring him to the light side.

It got worse. And then we got season 3 and it fell off a cliff.

RIP Writing maxim, he always had the best quotes

they shouldve just not shown us the new sequels lol

thank god the Sequels are not cannon :)

and somehow palpatine returned

The worse example of telling not showing is in Attack of the Clones : “From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you. And now I’m with you again, I’m in agony. The closer I get to you the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you… I can’t breathe. I’m haunted with the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me…”
Star Wars has always had this kind of flaw, it’s not new to the sequel trilogy.

“Never. I’ll never turn to the dark side. You failed your highness, I am a Jedi like my father before me.”
Isn’t that explaining what just happened ?

well, this aged poorly LOL

The 3 new movies are like the Lego Skywalker saga, it doesn't expect much from the players, mean while kids are building tower and killing people in 20 seconds on Fortnite, so maybe you should expect more from your customers and not be so simple it's dull and boring

Lol so is Palp saying "Your hate has made you powerful" not explaining what just happened? Could we not see that Luke was giving into the darkside? Him becoming his father is shown and not explained? You say this directly after Palp says "and take your father's place". Dude, the nostalgia blinders can't be on that hard

Looked at one scene and were supprised they released it like that? Im surprised they looked at the entirety of the 3 monies and released them. AND THEN doubling down on it with more movies, it didn't work try something else ffs

It sucks how the mandalorian esque starwars TV shows have failed to match the storytelling in the first season.
