“Can the Mandalorian beat two 20 year old first time filmmakers at the box office?”

The Mandalorian does not even know his powers yet.

She’s must be dumber than a box of rocks if she think mando can beat Vader

Old? If Vader was still alive during the time of The Mandalorian, he would only be in his late 40’s/early 50’s.

Palpatine was centuries old yet he killed anyone and everything. But alright. This is who Star wars got sold to. A company that has zero clue how Star wars works internally and just spews trash everywhere.

Sorry but the mandilorian is the most overrated character in all of Star Wars
@Nimrod12436

Mandilorian is already gone first five seconds

Are you serious? The Mandalorian is weak. He was literally crushed him. How old or young he is.

Yes, but not without Guru.

Wow, this woman is the type of person working on Star wars right now. Literally has no understanding whatsoever of the ip. Palpatine was 119 when he died and he was extremely powerful

Actual Star Wars fans would say Vader hands down.

Anyone saying “No” forgets the brutal war between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. Yes, the Jedi won, but the Mandalorians put up a good fight.

True, but like you said…they lost. This is also just one mandalorian vs the second most powerful sith lord in the universe.

This is what everything is wrong after the Prequels. Characters played by people that don‘t care and even spit on the fans of the franchise. The og trilogy and prequels will forever have a place in my heart (and clone wars) everything else may look good but has no heart, no soul and even more: No f*cking idea what they are doing

“Characters played by people” so actors, who have nothing to do with the creative process?
@valordin
June 6, 2026 at 3:31 pm
@ironicname5901acting is not a creative process? I’m not supporting oc’s comment but that’s a crazy take you just had.

I love Sigourney but I have to disagree with her on this. ❤

All of this juste for money not fort art. Hollywood was made just for them: actors

No one way Mando would beat Darth Vader. Not even close.

THIS IS WHY STAR WARS HAS BEEN DESTROYED. GTFO

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The Mandalorian can’t even beat two movies with a combined budget of 11 million dollars.

I actually almost choked on my drink when she deadpan without a hint of sarcasm said “yes.”

They should be glad Vader is dead.

I feel like Pedro plays characters we love and for that we deal with him, but beyond that dude is bizzare 😭

Star Wars is on its way out, and it’s been a long time coming. Look at these tired husks trying to convince the world this stuff is quality content worth your dollar and not a crappy season of a television show smooshed together into a film
because *they have no ideas* 😂

Vader can just force crush the mandalorian
@AliciaWickham-u1c
June 6, 2026 at 9:52 am
No cause Darth Vader can just summon the clone armies. He can easily take out Grogu then he will get the more clone armies to fully beat the Mando, but on a one on one I’m voting on Darth Vader because Darth Vader can easily block his attacks with a light saber, and then take the helmet off and stab his head easy win
@AliciaWickham-u1c
June 6, 2026 at 9:54 am
I have my reasons
@commanderoof4578

If he dont use his force powers probably…
Otherwise its just a lift and snap

Darth vader effortlessly wipes the floor with the mandalorian, and it doesn’t matter what version of vader either.
