    I could be completely wrong I just remember hearing it was inspired by han having adventures smuggling. Could be completely wrong.

    Firefly was similar.

    Western in Space following a big war. Firefly team were on the losing side though.

    There's probably an unending debate as to which side The Mandalorians were on but either way, their population was decimated from what I know. The honour code they follow looks like it will slow down their repopulation for ages.

    I'd guess there's plenty of stuff from before both Firefly and The Mandalorian which probably influenced both. Not just the Western arena but Space Western and SciFi.

    Just a dumb theory about ahsoka. No spoilers. Just tagged it cos someone got sensitive. About casting we already know. Eye roll.
    There’s really no spoiler in it .

    They wont get this or care in the other thread but Favreau voiced Pre Vizla in clone wars. Now he’s acted and voiced Paz Vizla in the Mandalorian

    We’re gonna get siege of mandalore in the new clone wars but this is a mad deep cut. Where they going with this? Tie in? Look like it.

    New episode is very good.

    If they make one that’s intelligent like the bb8 sphero droid where it learns the room and just wanders around it would be awesome.

    They're getting good with the emotions on his face. At the end though, it felt like they could've done better with how sad Baby Yoda was.

    Another hit of an episode.

    Did you notice the cube from portal?

    And also...

    Was that Bobba Fett somehow?

    Let us all hope so.

    Finally watched the whole series having given up after 2 episodes. It definitely improved but story and narrative was non existent in many episodes. I didn't change my view on Pedro Pascal from what I first thought. He's a good actor but he can't act behind the mask. I had no connection to him for the whole series.

    Baby Yoda is a stupid character though, everyone knows it but no one will admit it because of the cute factor.

    Really enjoyed this. The best Star Wars related thing since Return of the Jedi imo. Loved the 70's aesthetic.

    Hrmmm... feels like a big ask to get Rosario Dawson to do a voice the likes of Ashley Ecksteins

    Has the ominous feeling of asking Oscar Isaac to try and do the Apocalypse voice!

    but shur.. let's see how they do

    Looks to be confirmed now. Variety have it. I doubt anyone will care about the voice too much apart from the huge Ahsoka cohort but it’s not like they won’t watch it.

    This is huge though. She knew yoda so I’m wondering will he hand over the child to her even to train? Also sets up massive Potential for her to be in the obi wan series.
    Delighted it happening anyways

    Ah no offense meant. They’re already complaining cos it’s not the lady voices her on the show playing her live action. I’ve seen her pic. No way could she be live action Ahsoka.
    Dawson is ideal.

    The mandalorian is set after Return of the jedi, right?
    so Ahsoka survived?

    It's.. eh.. complicated... but yes.

    The animated shows The Clones Wars and Rebels would be good recommendations to catch up.

    Seems the latest rumours are that this will be a backdoor pilot for her own series.
    Or maybe that's just people theorising about comments made about possible Mandolorian spinoffs

    https://www.slashfilm.com/rosario-dawson-ahsoka-mandalorian/
    last month during the Walt Disney Company’s Fiscal First Quarter 2020 Financial Results Conference Call, then-CEO Bob Iger mentioned that “The Mandalorian season 2 coming in October, and then more coming from The Mandalorian thereafter, including the possibility of – infusing it with more characters and the possibility of taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series.”

    I would find that acceptable :)

    In other news..

    Grace doesn't watch the Star Wars animated shows from what I know... but she definitely has contacts inside Disney/Marvel.

    She also heard that Ezra will be cast.

    She hasn't heard anything about Sabine but does point out that Sabine is Mandalorian. You can tell she doesn't watch the animated shows cos she didn't make a point out of what a big deal Sabine and the Dark Sabre are. Just that Sabine gave it away.

    Just from where they left it off in Rebels I'd say Sabine would have been more likely than Ezra if they were to do any of that.

    I can’t see Ezra fitting into the Mandalorian.
    They have the Ahsoka and Sabine animated series coming this autumn so it might cross over but Ezra? His whole character is just so I dunno. Childish. And intentionally. I get that. Don’t see how that would work in this series. But who knows

    ** he’s also endlessly annoying but it’s a character written for kids as a vehicle or entry point into the story so let them try it



    Apparently Grace Randolph was the one who made up one of the rumors about kennedy getting fired. ‘She's Fandom Menace and a fraud who knows nothing and consistently wrong about everything.’ But hey. Anything for clicks on YouTube.

    She might have. Rebels leaves that unclear.

    I’m expecting the flashbacks to reveal a Jedi saved the Mando from the Super Battle Droid and though it was going to be Kenobi but if they are bringing Ashoka to live action then it could be her that saves him and she might only appear in his past, not the present day.

    Will we get an explanation of the tracking fobs in an upcoming episode?

    They make no sense to me - if there is a gadget for tracking fugitives then bounty hunting requires no hunting or searching.

    Looking forward to learning more about the Way. I don’t recall it being mentioned in TCW or Rebels and loads of Mandalorians have been shown with the helmet led off - so is a new thing to their culture, a religion that we haven’t been told about before or are these guys outcast from Mandalorian society. One of the covert is from House Vizla.
