Can we please stop treating Favreau like a god. Sure he's a fan. Sure he's trying to do his best. But...

He has as many misses as he has hits.

This is Gospel.

The dude directed Iron Man and Elf, he most certainly is a god!

Well it?s a given that he?s part of the Hollywood machine, but he appears to be the best we have at the moment.

Until the next one takes a crack at the property and we see what?s what.

I am liking the series in general but do have nit picks throughout watching. One thing I don't get about the last episode is the no killing thing. Mando killed tons of bounty hunters, Stormtroopers, Jawas, all the Bossk looking guys guarding the Child in ep 1, all the guys going after that village in the episode before, and then he's like, 'no killing.' I mean I get the guard was probably very innocent in everything, but it just made no sense.

Then he doesn't kill the 3 on the ship with him, who literally all tried to kill him and left him to die, but then gets the other 2 killed along with probably dozens of other people on that space station who had no idea what was going on.

That one had me baffled. Also has he killed anyone with a human face besides the bounty hunter who double crossed him? I feel like showing him kill aliens is really easy for them to do but they probably don't want him killing humans (directly anyway) too often.

He seems to kill only as a last option or if he thinks someone deserves it and avoids killing anyone he considers innocent, in other words he's not a homocidal maniac... As for not killing his teammates he probably thought it was more of a punishment to make them suffer in prison then to end their misery quick with a laser blast... As for Stormtroopers, Jawas and other Bounty Hutners none of them were innocent, the Jawas were stealing parts of his ship (might as well be stealing his horse), Stormtroopers were going to stop him from taking baby Yoda and the other Bounty Hunters were trying to kill him because he wouldn't giveup the baby, so yeah I feel he was justified in killing them.

A true Bounty Hunter is not an Assassin, A Bounty Hunter's job is to capture someone, now of course the client might give the option of Dead or Alive but in this case Mando seems to prefer to capture targets alive but if others are trying to kill you then you might not have any other choice but to do the same.

Fixed it for you to prove your point even further.

I retract my previous statement and stand corrected. Move along. Move along.

I thought it was fairly obvious why:

...the first episode as a Spaghetti Western style laconic killer, a cold professional bounty hunter. He finds the asset and he brings him back for the bounty.

Then he has second thoughts and returns to rescue him. The implication is that this is the first time he's failed to fulfil his duty to the Guild.

In spite of this change of heart the Child irritates him, and it's an invasion of the private space of his ship. He's irked when it plays with the controls and steals the knob from the lever.

As time passes he becomes more tolerant and finds an attachment to the Child. There's that significant moment when talking to the widow when his voice cracks, because he can't have the perfect life.

By the end of episode six he's subverted expectations. He didn't kill the three Mercs, he merely overpowered them and locked them up. He also now willingly gives the knob from the lever to the Child.

The Child is the instigator of both his physical and psychological journey.

IMO this is good. Except the Sifo-Dyas pre-cognition e.g. the Client would have known that Mando would come for the Child. Maybe.

Except *triggers* took it as Mando was pretty unhappy and the Child's fate was eating at him, but he was gonna leave. "Always in motion is the future". Hard to predict a random interest in a knob by baby is gonna swing the pendulum, hard the other way. Butterfly chaos theory.

Assume the Client is pretty important tho as he apparently isn't too worried about the request to bring the Child back alive. Would luv to see character again anyway, hope he comes back in season 2. Also that Mando offs him, but perhaps in the future, it will be.

Seein' as I took the line about finding a Mandalorian being more difficult than finding the beskar to be a nasty reminder of how the Empire wiped out the Mandalorians. U reap what u sow.

Without spoiling anything, I'm going to go ahead and say you're probably best off waiting to watch this episode and next week's back to back. It's very, very tense.

 

[Ehollywood]

I Loved EP 7. Wow!

Yeah. For me anyway. It should have been the way. Hold out and do back 2 back if u can.
But who knew, right?

Did weaken and watched the special TROS sneak peek too. Hadn't watched many of the TROS trailers so as expected felt like watching a trailer more or less IMO. Really dont wanna know tho. Gotta hold out another 60 hours or so.

Man, the wait for last Mando episode is gonna feel like the Jakku desert

 

[DeadLeaves]

Good ep. all round, I was hoping they would lift it up for the final two & that was excellent! Nice bit of "we're getting the band back together" filler, although kind of expected. I hope the final has bit of resolution and not complete cliff hanger...

That TIE fighter landing was sweet.

Yes, that was a good one! Maybe it's just me, but I can't help think that

Spoiler

our newly reprogrammed IG-11 will play a role in their getting out of that predicament. They made a point of telling us about his developing a personality (and demonstrated his new respect for life), so I'm thinking he'll see Kuill's dead body and go into action. I suppose it's also possible Kuill gave him last second instructions to protect/save them. This would also explain HT bothering to make an action figure of him. After the first episode, I found that a curious decision at best.

Yes, that was a great introduction to

Giancarlo Esposito. Here's hoping that he'll have an extended run in the series. Also, I think that The Client is Sifo-Dyas theory has been put to rest.

A cliffhanger now?? Ugh....brutal!!

 

[ZE_501]

To quote Khev: "Holy crap!"

This is The Mandalorian I want to see.

 

[The Buffinator]

A cliffhanger now?? Ugh....brutal!!

I know! Waiting until the 27th to see what happens next is going to be torture. As if seeing an abundance of ugly Christmas sweaters during that time wasn't bad enough...

Also loved:

...the Imperial Troop Transport. That's how you do fan service, IMO.

Seems they are setting us up for Force healing in Episode 9.

 

[Otomofan]

So one the surface it seems like The Child's ability to Force heal is only in there to make it more palatable when Kylo does it in the new movie.

But I'm trying to think....what are some instances we've seen in the movies when this should have been used and wasn't? Meaning...if they could have Force healed, it would have changed the outcome of what we saw on screen?

In the OT, we only see Yoda interact with Luke, and he's never injured on Dagobah.

In the ST, there's definitely circumstances where Jedi could have healed or "saved" other Jedi with this skill in AOTC and ROTS.

In AOTC....Yoda should have healed Obi Wan's saber burns. Who knows....maybe he did off screen, after the battle. But what about severed limbs? Obviously helping someone regrow an arm is something the Force can't do.

We've seen The Child heal some deep cuts. And in the case of Ep 7, he healed poison as well. But he didn't go as far as bringing anyone back to life. That really would have come in handy on Geonosis.

I don't mind a retcon of a being powerful in the Force (or even almost purely Force energy) being able to heal cuts and wounds, but resurrecting the dead is way too much for me.
