The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

My top three worst places in the SW universe...

1. Canto Bight
2. Not-snow-planet from TLJ
3. Gunganlopolis

 

[Wor-Gar]

3. Underwater Naboo - Again, this location because of Jar-Jar, Boss Nass and that entire scene.

Levity aside, my biggest question remains the tracking fob.

In a universe where everyone is a walking GPS, how is it the rebellion ever hid from the Empire?

You know Canto Bight is really bad when in TLJ behind the scenes vids, even the production designer is saying "This doesn't feel like Star Wars"

Kathleen, Ruin (and I'm throwing Bob Iger under the bus for not reeling those other 2 idiots in), clearly have no ****ing idea about SW when their greatest resource character (Mark Hamill), their production designer, and multiple others (John Boyaga as of today) are all saying "This isn't very Star Wars."

Oh god, I forgot about that abomination of a scene.

I tried to watch TPM the other day....

I got as far as ?they went up the ventilation shaft? before tuning most of it out.

Came back a bit for the pod race, but was surprised how short and bad Mauls first fight was.

Then tuned out again until the final Lighsaber fight. Which still stands as one of the best in the series.

They were not twirling too much in that one.

Do you have a link to the designer saying that? If its on Youtube, I'll find it. And hear is the rub: the story was bad, right. Had that movie been great, people would have loved the location. What is Star Wars? Not just the dirty parts. But, Canto Bright stuff sucked.

For those still hating on the Canto Bight parts. Two words: Bathroom Break


Whenever I see KK on screen during her interviews, I have to reist the urge to punch the screen. ***** needs to go

Does it count if u have them running but during key nausea-inducing scenes u clean fish tank or re-arrange shelves...for me include:

1) Anakin pursuing Padme. Huge airsick/seasick level bonus for the "i hate sand" blather. Points to Portman for not just jumping over balcony with loud Wilhelm. Save urself Padme!

2) Rubbery jaws flapping with drool and pretty much Jar Jar.

3) Tiny kid heading into outer space etc. Boring fight in throne room

4) It's been a while but still can't follow the politics what the &^% zzzzzzzzzzzz. (Fast forward tho and this completely foreshadows the insanity of the First Order *inexplicably* popping out of nowhere only 30 years after the fall of Empire. Because, basically, this *&^% goes on constantly and everyone is always fighting everyone anyway. So it doesn't matter if I can't keep track.)

5) Midichlorians *torpedo the mystery* Sounds like a disease u get. Maybe there's a picture of the critters in the sacred Jedi texts - wow, Rey is in for a shock. It'll be like a dentist telling u "root canal". (And will Kylo be the One for her, since he has lots of 'em too)?

6) Padme dying and leaving her babies for no reason really. Okaaaaaayyyy Leaving aside Leia talking about remembering her mother so guess that was Padme bein' a Force ghost in a deleted mystery scene...

But why nitpick. Ewan Mcgregor. Palpatine. Darth Maul. Yoda. Anakin falls to the Dark. Clones.

Nazi Germany came to power only 19 years after the end of WWI.
It only took 3 years from when they first got into the German parliament in 1930, to completely take over in 1933.

So how the FO came to be doesn't bother me. Everything else in the ST,especially TLJ does.

 

[jye4ever]

It has been confirmed that throughout the entire run time of ep4 it was never Pedro in the costume lol

So now I question how much of it is really him at all in all the episodes

Pedro Pascal Is the Mandalorian, but That's Not Him Starring in Every Episode

Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder are the stunt double responsible for bringing Mando to life.

Zack Sharf

Dec 9, 2019 5:21 pm

Pedro Pascal receives top billing on "The Mandalorian" for playing the title character, but it turns out that's not actually Pascal underneath the helmet and armor in every episode of the buzzy Disney+ "Star Wars" series. In fact, at least one episode of "The Mandalorian" did not feature Pascal in any capacity. Bryce Dallas Howard tells Vulture that Pascal was absent from the fourth episode, "Sanctuary," which she directed. Pascal did not act in the episode because he was starring on Broadway in "King Lear."

So who is the real Mandalorian? The creation of the character was a joint effort among Pascal and doubles Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder. Howard worked closely with Wayne when she was helming her episode. Wayne happens to the grandson of legendary Western star John Wayne. "He absolutely just brought everything to that character," Howard told Vulture about working with Wayne. "We were able to find the moments and figure them out together."


Even when Pascal is not performing as the Mandalorian on set, he is always voicing the Mandalorian in episodes. Wayne says the two men saw each other "frequently" on set and collaborated to ensure the Mandalorian's movements would be seamless between the two of them.

"[Pascal] would ask me, and I would ask him the same question, which is, 'Why did you move like this during that moment?'" Wayne said. "We would go back and forth. The great thing about him is he's not impressed with himself. He's just an actor. And I mean that in the good way, not the bad way. He likes to learn and he likes to collaborate and he's very good at it."

Howard calls the Mandalorian that "Star Wars" fans are seeing on screen a "real collaboration" between the different actors. New episodes of "The Mandalorian" debut Fridays on Disney+. Head over to Vulture to read more about the doubles working on the show.

Yup John Wayne bloodline is the Mandalorian.

As crazy as that sounds it should?ve been Scott Eastwood playing him.

I think the entire Pedro Pascal is a ruse... its really Fett under that Mando helmet. The Blacksmith chick knows the truth.

Even with all these helmet-wearing blind dates these days?

I'd accept Eastwood in the suit with Pascal voicing him.

I'd accept Eastwood in the suit with Pascal voicing him.

And Boba Fett as the ultimate reveal.

And get this: he ain't the son of Jango. And he's not a Mandalorian. Kiddies say: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt????

 

[jye4ever]

Pocahantas is going to be Fett she was using a voice modulator lol

Why else they make her a rifle marksman.
