The Starbird Files

  Normally I make several end of year lists, albums of the year, films I watched, books I read, but I didn’t see nearly as many films, read many books or buy much music this year, so I decided to create a list of the 10 best things from 2020 that helped me get through the madness. It’s in order but don’t pay too much attention to that. 1 - Gorillaz - Song Machine Vol1 (album)   Song Machine wasn’t just an album it was a regular occurrence that was something to look forward to during the course of the year, not to mention it was Gorillaz best album for quite some time. 2 - Beastie Boys Story (film) I watched the whole of this with a smile on my face. 3 - The Boys s2 (TV)   We finished binging season one for the first time right in time for season 2 and it did not disappoint. 4 - The Mandalorian s2 (TV)   A great second season of the adventures of Din & Grogu, plus getting to see some canon characters come to live action in Ashoka Tano, Bo Katan and Cobb Vanth plus meeting Frog Lady

  Let me start by saying I loved this episode.....just not as much as everyone else I don’t expect you to agree with me, this is me working through my feelings. Din vs Bo Katan I don’t want my boy at odds with my girl Bo Katan, but it does make for great storyline potential tension between the characters. It seems obvious that the future of the show lies on Mandalore and the Dark Saber which I kind of expected just not this soon. There are interesting parallels to be made with Din’s beliefs being challenged this season, where he bends his rules for Grogu, will Bo Katan be able to do the same? Will she have to consider what she really wants - is it power for herself or is it truly freedom and restoration for Mandalore? The Problem with Moff Gideon Moff Gideon has been built up to be a great villain with so much potential played a great actor who is fantastic at what he does, however in this episode he was let down. First he has the Dark Saber, he has connections to the Mandalorian purge
