I believe subsequent episodes will be released on Fridays Really liked it. Show felt...desolate. Like the planets Mando is on.
Do I need to know anything about the new movies? And by new, I mean anything other than the original 3.
After 1 episode, it doesn’t seem like it. Only think that would help for context is that this takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi
Just finished Loved it. Not a lot of actual story but fantastic world building, cinematography, acting, etc. I wish I could binge it all. I guess this will be a weekly-Tuesday release?
Didn't realize until the end of the episode that I didn't know the name of Yoda's species only to find out it's never been revealed
Any non-EU readings on the Mandalorians. Obviously know about the Fetts and the clones but what’s the deal with that ceremonial smelting and such?
Just finished Ep. 1 fucking loved everything; The tone The casting Everything Probably the most underrated part were the subtle nods to the OG trilogy; an Ugnaught, an IG-series bounty droid, a entry droid that was the same kind as Jabba’s palace. The Salacious Crumbs on a spit/in cages, Carbonite freezing...it wasn’t all in your face like hahaha here’s R2D2
In the OT and the old EU I’m pretty sure he’s the only one. I think there’s another one in the background at the Jedi Temple in the PT but not sure.
And here I thought Disney was gonna make bank with Baby Groot AND THEY OUTDID THEMSELVES WITH FUCKING BABY YODA give me all of it
The show only reinforces my belief that Filoni should replace KK as head of Lucasfilm. If you're looking for a "Kevin Fiege for Star Wars" there's your man.
Really enjoyed this first episode and it gives me high hopes that maybe the future of Star Wars isn't fucked. Side note: Taking care of a baby for 50+ years sounds like a never-ending nightmare.
Really, really enjoyed it. The fact that Boba Fett was no where to be found should automatically give it an A from everyone.
Utterly fantastic. Will continue to watch. Bonus that my wife seemed engaged with it, excitedly asking questions afterwards.
I don’t even know how to describe it, but the score during his entrance to the cantina at the beginning was amazing. Like a weird almost creature-like wail.
Ship-sized carbon freezing unit seemed a little convenient given they had an entire floor and huge equipment dedicated to it at Bespin.
Bespin was an industrial site and it wasn’t ever used for humans before Han. Maybe you don’t need such a big carbon freezer if it’s designed for humans and it can fit on a ship.
I suppose the Mandalorian just adopted what Vader/Fett did with Han in ESB. Maybe in the five-six years since bounty hunters realized carbon freezing was an effective way to move their prisoners. Since, you know, it was an unheard of thing that Fett didn't like when Vader proposed it in Empire.
For all we know Han might have jump-started the miniaturization of the entire industry. Fett could have shown how effective it was.
