The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Sassafras]

Canto Blight is the worst expression of Star Wars yet put on film. It just beat out Dex's diner.


Let's play a game everyone can play: name your Top 3 WORST places in the SW Saga (movies only)

1) Canto Bight. Canto Bight. Canto Bight.
2) Maz planet whatever it was - woods were OK but why would she have a big friggin' statue of herself? Why are there
stairs where anyone drunk can wander down and do - whatever...ugh.
3) Naboo 'coz Anakin/Padme cringe and why is a princess there with NO STAFF WHATSOEVER yeah sure.

Bonus point to the FURRY HOLE Rey falls into - like waz that supposed to be one those subliminal things - ugh.

"What did you experience when you were sucked into the furry hole?"

Rey: "Bright light. Pain. Like being born maybe."

No, no, no . . . Nevarro is the *other, other* desert/rocky planet in the show. It's the one with the bounty hunter cantina. The desert planet with the Jawas (and where Mando found baby Yoda) is called "Arvala-7."

Neither of which are to be confused with the desert planet of Tatooine. Dave Filoni made sure of that by clearly reminding us exactly where we were in Chapter 5. And I do mean reminding us *very* clearly!

Stand corrected - thanx - but u sure? *&^% gotta catch up.

Tho didn't think of bounty hunter hangout as "desert". Just looked kinda desolate. Cold, except in town. Kinda like where I live including a few folks in alley corners.

"Desert" to me means Tattoine and Jakku.

LOL I'm good (for now) with Filoni's SW LUV overload. IMO also re his background havin' to learn there's a DIFFERENCE when u are doing live action. I also figure this show - while IMO great out of the gate - is still finding its legs too. Am just - happy. Long term heavy SW fans may or may not be as forgiving. Also re complaints maybe for Filoni it WAS to fan service fans, that it would make fans happy. Hard to say, if u do that in environment where some are still pretty raw about stuff.

Furries and ganormous sea cow teats. And Mary Poppins. There's stuff I appreciate about TLJ but gotta wonder if RJ is into Swedish films or something.

 

[xipotec]

The fan service scenes are running on fumes after this last episode.

"Oh look, its Tatooine!"
"Oh look, its a similar docking bay to '94'..."
"Oh look, its THE cantina."
"Oh look, its Jabba's torture droid now as a bar-keep."
"Oh dear, its the cubby where Han shot Greedo..."
"Oh my,"its speeder bikes..."
"Oh boy, its Sand People..."
etc...

Interspersed, they are little nods. Having a flood of them hit in one episode is like a neon sign in Vegas.

I'm surprised Toro didn't refer to Mando's ship as "a piece of junk"...

You forgot.

Pit Droids
?She has the high ground?
Dewbacks
Dune Sea
Hell even that shot of him walking down the street is the same as ANH.

Arvala-7 is the desert planet that baby Yoda and the ugnaught farmer were on. Here are pics of what it looks like from space, and from the terrestrial view:

And I was exaggerating the "desert" description of Nevarro. To be fair, and as you mentioned, it definitely is more volcanic than anything else. But Nevarro is definitely where the bounty hunter cantina is, where the Mandalorian clan was hiding, and where the Herzog imperials were.

Let's not forget the mechanic lady telling her pit droids to drag the body to Beggar's Canyon ("Hey, did you guys catch that!? Beggar's Canyon! Remember when Luke mentioned that?") - because, yeah, it makes total sense that her pit droids would drag the body however-many-miles to Beggar's Canyon.

Also, "no good to us dead."

And probably 50 other examples that were only there for wink-wink-nudge-nudge "remember this?" callbacks.

Good idea Wor.

In no order.

1. Canto ( worst part of TLJ as well)
2. Dexters Diner (so out of place and obvious Lucas self nod to American Graffiti.)
3. Tie between underwater Naboo and Geonosis both suck about the same.

Appreciate it! Much as I am into series just haven't had time to check in detail. Mostly when Fennec Shand mentions Nevarro I was *imagining* she - since others had also gone for Baby - had been to same planet; maybe even seen the bodies Mando and IG left behind. *Much confusion for me, there was. Much jumping to conclusions*. I need the *&^% art book.

(Actually to me that would've been interesting e.g. "I saw the mess u left behind and by the way, hot-wired the EXPENSIVE droid u shot and played back the whole thing" vs. "I hung out in the bar, Greef Karga is really po'd but glad u didn't do a head shot, no-one has seen any kind of Mandalorian since, and BTW every mercenary and bounty hunter in the galaxy is after u. Oh, but some girls started a fan club for yah. Except me. I'm gonna gut u like a fish".)

Arvala-7 to me doesn't look like desert even from space - more like "semi desert" sorry nature geekdom. ANYWAY tho to me it looks like it has more water than Jakku and Tattooine. Waiting for them to come up with something really weird like a planet that's mostly gases. Or something like the MCU's Vormir.

*Random yuck thought - I felt REALLY bad for Mando when I thought about large animals and barnyards and what large animals do in barnyards so it's clear why he took the time to clean up at some point* Poor guy. Guess the Jawas didn't mind the smell. Soo-ga!!!!

Definitely seems like Canto and diner are the two most popular 'worst' places.

My third is a tough choice. I have a feeling we haven't seen it yet. It might be that ridicules looking Ice Capade Island in the TROS trailer where the hidden navy is stashed. Or maybe its that wacky Avatar-looking world where the blue Jedi girl gets gunned down in ROTS -- not that that place pisses me off but its just so out there compared to every other Star Wars planet. Or maybe its just the repetition of Tatooine-Geonosis-Jakku-Nevarro-Arvala-7...

Bonus point to the FURRY HOLE Rey falls into - like waz that supposed to be one those subliminal things - ugh.

Having seen TLJ only once, I totally forgot about Vajyenah. That was not a very Star Wars place.

Oh man Sass post are so freaking awesome I go over every sentence with a fine tooth comb to make sure I didn?t miss anything but also just to double check that what I read was really there and i?m not going crazy lol

lol

Well i?m sure she didn?t mean drag in the literal sense they probably used a speeder lol

My biggest question mark with the episode was how the heck did Toro fetch *two* speeders, lol.

"Okay grab two speeders and bring them to the hangar."

"Coming sir!"

Not my fault. I like art. Ur just minding ur own business, surfing web photos and trip over this close-up of an orange and u can't unsee it. And U KNOW the artist did it on purpose.

RJ should've remembered there were KIDS at TLJ with their little tiny Jedi robes and rubber light sabers. No place for his weird feminist ideas "so Rey falls into the furry wet hole, filled with the liquid sea of the feminine unconscousnessnessness, the powerful darkness is really the light of truth, like compost...."

Probably was giddy over one-upping Josh Whedon in the sensitivity department. Look, just give me gawdess Cara Dune giving an elbow smack to the head, OK?

Holy crap!!

You made my day with that one, Khev.

Levity aside, my biggest question remains the tracking fob. Particularly in the first scene with the dogfight against the other bounty hunter. That **** tracks across space distances too? Does Mando's ship have a tracker on it after all, and he's too dumb to notice?

They were wise to leave the opening pursuit ambiguous as to how it began. I just handwave away the logistics in the same manner I do for the opening chase between Vader and Leia in ANH. Sure Mando could have a tracker on his ship or maybe the other bounty hunter assumed that he was bound to flee to some backwater planet eventually and simply correctly guessed Tatooine. Mando comes out of hyperspace in the system and boom the guy is waiting for him.

1. Canto Blight... Definitely the worst location in that galaxy far, far away.
2. Dexters Diner - Not sure which was worse; the diner or Dex and that waitress. The whole scene was Canto bad.
3. Underwater Naboo - Again, this location because of Jar-Jar, Boss Nass and that entire scene.

Honorable Mention - Crait. Poor man's Hoth.

You forgot.

Pit Droids

Oh yeah! There were a ton of them. I just listed the first few that came to mind.

Exactly! Good ones there, as well.

I just want to say that I do appreciate the fan service nods but there really is no need to have gone overboard. It really makes Tatooine and specifically Mos Eisley quite a small place.

The Mando told him how, you just SLAVE ONE to the other.
