After the very first episode of the second season of The Mandalorian, I realized I should create an initial reaction video - a hot take of sorts - and I did that, in a way that was like a preview piece, since I really wanted to avoid spoilers, because I was putting it out so soon after the episode's release (the same morning).
However, when the second episode came out, I realized I didn't need to avoid spoilers, since most people watching the video probably already watched the episode (as they probably wanted to remain far away from spoilers), so I could just give my reactions and hot takes on the episode(s). And that's what I did for the next few episodes.
When I got to the fifth episode, I realized I should probably mention something about Ahsoka Tano and Grand Admiral Thrawn so I mentioned them and where they had appeared previously. But, as I've been seeing online and talking to more casual Star Wars fans, they want to know what these references are - who are these characters?
That is what has caused me to change my approach to these videos, and I am adjusting for the 6th episode that just came out this morning, and perhaps the 7th and 8th episodes, as well, in this second season.
So, now, my series, due to what I'm hearing from friends and fellow fans, is now shifting into a little bit of a guide, a helpful resource to people who may be less familiar with the Star Wars universe, and to provide background on characters and other things that have happened.
So here is what I've published today as the sixth video:
(And here is the playlist for my videos on the second season)
(Related: this series is a result of publishing more Star Wars videos in 2020)
