The Mandalorian

Quick word of advice for anyone who usually zooms in the picture to hide the black bars top and bottom. About 40 minutes in the aspect ratio changes from 21:9 to 16:9 for cinematic reasons.

Oh! Was that

a clone? It looked like a clone! Had heard there was some hype before watching so I'd thought Sabine or Ahsoka might have been making some appearance. Couldn't for the life of me figure how they'd work that in. A clone makes way more sense.

it's Boba Fett

I think so anyway

It's Temuera Morrison, so he could be portraying any number of characters. Would be a fitting red herring to hint at him being Fett, but actually be Cody or another clone.

I actually hope it isn't a named clone if that's the way they decide to go. With Bo Katan, Ahsoka and the dark saber I think we've enough clone wars/rebels links

Dunno, it's Filoni's baby and Favreau has a lot of grá for Clone Wars stuff as well

Yeah I get that but I don't think they need to shoe horn characters into the show. It's my biggest gripe with the prequel trilogy (and to some degree rebels) Everyone and everything is too connected. Honestly I'd be ok if

fett

wasn't involved either and there was no mention of

his armour

PhiloCypher · 02-11-2020 10:48pm

Thought that was a great first episode, a simple story well told. No needlessly overcomplicated/nonsensical overarching plot that if you don't buy you'll get nothing from the season(hello Star Trek Discovery). Mando has to get Baby Yoda to the Jedi, on the way he'll have self contained adventures. Really hoping Favreau and Filoni have some input on the Cassian Andor spin off , Disney could do worse then putting them in charge of all their Star Wars content.

That was a decent and simple enough first episode. Some jet engine. I think you would want to be wearing good muffs sitting on the side of that do or you could end up deaf not that it sounded that loud but if it is a jet engine like that it would have to be loud.
As for the sand dragon. Just aim for the mouth. That's what I was saying as soon as I seen it.

Great second episode.

To think this is what Firefly could have been if people weren't so short sighted.

I thought it was a bit meh.

OT X-wings though!!!

Slydice · 06-11-2020 4:14pm

Felt like this was a transition from the old west setting into a more space based setting for a couple of episodes at least. Cool setup on the

trap at the start.

ASOT · 13-11-2020 11:46pm

Episode three was great, the show keeps getting better and better.

RasTa · 14-11-2020 1:42pm

Too short!

Agreed but think it would have suffered if they stretched it out

Edit: Unless he met

Ahsoka

It's and that was were the episode ended

14-11-2020 2:27pm

This would have been a great show in the 80s when people liked the a team and knight rider.

Now it's very vanilla and very safe. Not a single event is a surprise

Vicxas · 20-11-2020 10:58am

Slow burner of an episode. Like how they're building up to something big

Slydice · 21-11-2020 7:09pm

Yeah definitely something going on. Feels like they're keeping it subtle for now though

robinph · 21-11-2020 11:24pm

Feels like they missed something out in the edit on this episode. All in a base, some new information about them using a child for something (seems like not baby yoda, a different child from the time line they are talking about) Mando goes running off in one direction, others go running off in a different one and fetch a vehicle. Meanwhile Mando has presumably used a transporter from Star Trek to fetch the child from school and his ship which was in for major repairs that were going to take days as of that morning is somehow repaired and good as new.

As for lizard guy, didn't get the reason for him tagging along for the mission at all. Does none of the rest of them know how to drive a speeder.

Have loved all the previous episodes, but think this ended up with half the story on the cutting room floor.

I think the reason for lizard guy tagging was for comedy value kind of like C-3PO.
I knew they would end upper taking that land transport just knew it. I thought the spender getting crushed was cool. I think lizard guy must have owned it and would not or did not want anyone else to drive it . Ye mandarin must have hit super speed on his jet suit to get back get his super quick repaired ship back in the air get baby Yoda and to go help the other 3 in that time who seemed to be taking the long route back to there town.
It was not a perfect episode but I enjoyed it for what it was an easy half hours watch of entertainment.

touts · 27-11-2020 10:52am

I don't know what was the bigger reveal today

Grogu

or "Tell me where your Master is! Tell me where to find

Grand Admiral THRAWN

!" Of course if you watched Rebels it makes perfect sense but I really hope it isn't just a link back to that and that there is real substance to it and he'll appear.

I'm really enjoying it but it's jumping around a lot. It feels like the Mandalorian is intersecting with a hell of a lot of other story lines and future shows. We've had what seems to be a setup for
- Boba Fett the Series
- Bo Katan the serie
- An Empire post rebellion series
- Asoka Tano the series.

Disney could be onto a right winner of they start producing even half the potential shoes. They could turn this into something bigger and more complex than the MCU

It's getting to the stage now where I genuinely think the cameos are purely to set up spin off shows. There all one off encounters so far except Fett who is literally just tagged on to the end of an episode

Edit: I think there's potential for the show to suffer because of Star Wars need to link absolutely everything together

PhiloCypher · 27-11-2020 5:16pm

Am I the only one who thinks they are setting up a possible appearance by Luke in season 3 . By seasons end Mando will have gotten Grogo to the planet Ashoka mentioned, Grogo will reach out through the force and we'll cut to Sebastian Stans Luke opening his eyes * cue credits*

It just felt like Ashokas " there aren't many Jedi left" was tailored to make us think of the only other Jedi we know is alive at this point. Granted they've left things vague enough that if its someother random jedi its not contradicting anything .

I feel like that would be saved for an Ashoka series, there's so much history. Couldn't do it justice in one episode.

I must have missed that one!
When was Fett on the Mandalorian?

The end of the first episode of season 2. It was literally one shot. A few different things I've read confirm it's him but I read it in the linked article below first

Slydice · 28-11-2020 3:59am

Great episode! I totally guessed wrong about who

Ashoka was looking for. When she kept saying master, I was full sure it was gonna be Maul! Thrawn makes way more sense following Rebels obviously though.

Mr.Fantastic · 28-11-2020 12:33pm

Anyone notice the Kotor reference with the droids Hk-87 droids. Noone was called meatbag though unfortunately

Newer models (KotOR was HK-47)

That said, 40 upgrades in 3000+ years seems unrealistic given we have a new iPhone every year

Vicxas · 04-12-2020 10:53am

Seriously geeking out at that episode.

So many spoilers to talk about
