Television The Mandalorian - TV Show

Did the Dark troopers just land in by themselves at the end? Like flying through space.

Because that makes it seem like Mando jettisoning the first batch shouldn’t have worked so well.

They were the 1st batch
 
That was great. Proper Star Wars. CGI on Luke was good enough. I was racking my brain because I was convinced his saber was blue. Thought it may have been Qui Gon Jinn but then realised he’s dead in this timeline.
 
Why oh why didn't they use deep fake ai instead of that god awful lucas arts thing? Or even better, just used Sebastian Stan. Either way enjoyed the series. Enjoyed the post credits scene as well. Very Conan the Barbarian.
 
Wow that was incredible. Sad to see the baby yoda/mando arc end though :(

I'm guessing that's it for the Grogu arc for a little while and they'll refocus the show on retaking Mandalore. None of us want to see yet another Jedi training arc, not to mention costing too much in cgi money to do lukes face for all the scenes.

As great as it was to see a fully developed Luke Skywalker going ham, actually think the best moment was Grogu touching his face. :(

I'm a bit concerned about the direction the show will take in all honesty, but they've raised the bar this season so I trust them. I just hope they don't take the heart out of the show and that to me has always been the relationship between the two of them.

Imagine a training montage with Luke riding on Grogu's back and hitting him with his stick & weird little wisdoms.

Hopefully now they'll move away from the force side of things.

Nah. Green in Return of the Jedi. Blue in the first two.

Why? Star Wars has always been about the force and most people like to see it involved in some capacity.

It's a dead end story wise at the moment. They have a possibly infinite sand box to play in. I am interested in seeing an ashoka series but not if it starts going down the same route. Also every time they dive into force stuff they start fecking it up.

What made this series enjoyable is that its a western in space. Exploring the possibilities.
 
Is The Book of Boba Fett replacing the Mandolorian? Or just a side story with its own show? If its not then i think the next arc will just follow the take over of Mandolore? Or however you spell it?

Great episode tonight though.

Well yeah but they don't have to remove the force completely, it was barely in the show much anyway.

holy crap that was awesome.

Man the music was incredible this episode.

I'm glad if you resisted the temptation and it worked out for you.

Fantastic episode and the mandolarian has captured the true heart of star wars and why its loved. One episode is better than the entire sequel trilogy.

To be fair, that's not hard to do when the latter was written by two hacks (well, one's maybe borderline) and rubberstamped by a carpetbagger.

Also not gonna lie, I got totes emosh at the end there. God damnit baby Yoda you adorable shit.

Paradoxically, the real manly move is to just say one cried. I wasn't man enough to full-on bawl like a baby, but I'm proud to say I like to think I almost made it there.

The first image of it was a black and white surveillance feed, so the saber was just bright and for a moment I thought it were Ahsoka, which obviously made no sense. ^^

The bolded part was by design. A little tease. Part of the build-up.

There's also a moment where it's used in another capacity regarding one of the things that Baby Yoda is being used to represent on another level of writing.

Oh my God, Spoondog cried, too.

Has there been a post credit scene after every episode? I’ve missed every one if that’s the case!!

Sorry I meant in general. Usually post credit scenes are a bit pointless or nit worthy the wait. This was just feck8ng deadly
 
Great stuff for fans of Star Wars. I’m not sure the Mandalorian survives losing baby Yoda though.
 
For those who saw how good Filoni's writing was on the last three episodes of The Clone Wars this year will not have been surprised that he brought this season to the conclusion that it has. Favreau deserves immense credit for the superb direction, but the brains behind the magic is Filoni. It's no coincidence that Filoni's two properties, Clone Wars and Mandalorian are the only two properties of this current period to truly capture the magic of Lucas' vision of SW.

Filoni is the heir apparent, plain and simple. No one gets it better than he does. No one gets Lucas's world-building vision like he does. If Disney are clever they'll make Filoni a big part of the writing process for future movies/trilogies and not just tv series.
 
Really hearing good stuffs about it but having not watched any of the star wars movie, can I watch this or should I first watch the movies before watching this?

Probably watch the first set of original movies. This takes place chronologically after those.

Thanks. Will do that then. Anyways this is one set of series I have never watched so would be fun to finally catch all the parts, especially during the holiday times.

In addition to the zookeeper thing mentioned before, I'd watch a Galactic News Network spinoff. Kind of like The Newsroom, but set in the Star Wars universe. Because if you look closely, the galaxy doesn't seem to be too good at disseminating information.

Also a show about a cooking show. A show centered around the creation/running of a cooking show in the Star Wars universe. Think of all the recipes.

Isn't Force the only thing that sets SW apart from any other sci-fi series?

How can you have a Jedi series without the force? A major part of Ahsoka's life is about Jedi training and relationship with Anakin and then opposing a sith lord in Emperor. Surely it's near impossible to make a non-force Ahsoka storyline.

if you're looking at a less force series, then Mandalorian and the upcoming Boba Fett series would be the most likely candidates.
 
fecking epic. Best post ROTJ Star Wars we’ve seen that actually captured the feeling of Star Wars, along with Rogue One. The new trilogy is just shit after they basically retconned TLJ.
 


overall i thought it the season was ok. i think the problem, that started early in the first season, is that, with very rare exceptions, every one of these charcters - bounty hunters and badass fighters in the very rough and lawless outer rim - turn out to be nice moral people who care about others.
look at boba or his companions in the clone wars series, or han's description of mos eisley, or just the world as shown here, and their character doesn't really fit with that.

this ep was good fun, but i dont think it was *that* good. i still feel the luke vs kylo force projection ending of 8 is the best thing disney has done.
 
Gideon vs Mando duel was perfection. In next years this could be most underrated fighting scene of SW as a whole.

Did you like that movie?

I think it laid the groundwork for what could have been an original trilogy. But it needed the kast movie to bring it home. Instead they reset everything which nullified the whole thing. TLJ infuriated me as much as it delighted me. Snoke was potentially great, and had some awesome scenes, but then they killed him so easily. If he’d been alive in the next movie and had just force projected, it’d been great, but instead they went the whole clone/palatine route. Which was shit. Rose and the whole section on that gambling planet was fecking terrible beyond belief but the Skywalker part and his force projection was pretty awesome. It had new elements which could’ve been built on and been great, but they just dick slapped the entire thing in the next movie.
 
I don't think this will be the last time we see Baby Yoda. I expect him to make a comeback in season 3 in some form as IMO Baby Yoda was a big reason for the success of the show and I'm sure has made disney millions if not billions as an IP. Will be interesting to see how the shows moves forward without Baby Yoda and if baby yoda has left the show for good, I don't see the show surviving for more than a season or two as all the other main characters like Boba Fett, Ahsoka have their own shows/stoeylines now.

Love the theme song/soundtrack and love what these guys did with it :D

I have never watched any star wars stuff ever.

Me and my family loved the Mandalorian. Loved the ending.

Now the question is how do we watch star wars? In what order? Original release order or supposed chronological order of events? I'm leaning towards original release order, wife wants to watch chronological order. Either way nice stuff for the upcoming vacation hopefully.

Thanks for any advice.

If you watch chronologically you will stop after 2

I'd go rogue 1, 4,5,6.. then u can sit through 1 and 2 to get to 3 which is decent..
The new trilogy has no redeeming features other than 7 which is basically a remake of 4

Nothing to apologise for. I’d turned off every episode at the credits so your post made me realise I’d missed the cool post credit score you mentioned, but I was also worried I’d also missed a load of other post credit scene as!
