The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

Quark... does anyone remember the show, Quark from the late 70's?

Only vaguely. I may have watched the first episode solely for the T&A potential (I was a H.S. senior at the time).

Ah... then someone here is older than me. At last!

Don't forget to subtract the 10 years that my father kept me frozen in carbonite.

I was a wee lad in the late '70s, but you'd think I'd have come across it. But I'm drawing a blank. That theme music is a Disco-fied but nonetheless blatant Star Trek rip-off.

My old brain remembered it for some reason. And when I remember that, I also remembered "When Things Were Rotten"....

At 135 I thought I was the oldest man here.

Oh man, that show was Mel Brooks completely unchecked! Absolutely bonkers.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mando but it was *so* video-gamey with how the quests played out. It even had a person who literally did nothing but sit underground in the same spot for days on end until he was ready to get new weapons, lol.

Generally loved the show, but this is awesome because it's true [emoji38]

Go do some questing, upgrade your armor, make a powerful ally, and learn new abilities so that one day you may recover the mythic Darksaber!

The name of Din D'jarin's home planet was ferreted out....

Mild spoiler but I want to know EVERYTHING about this SHINING GEM of a series that lit the FIRE of the moribund entertainment industry where even BATMAN is sinking because the lead actor couldn't give up beer and cinnabons....

Say what u like but even Dune has failed me (getting delayed). Black Widow has been delayed so long, beginning to think they lost the entire movie when a server blew and nobody caught it due to staff layoffs.

Sounds more like the village name than the planet.

D@mn am learning a lot about Star Wars:

https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/mandalorian-season-2-star-wars-video-game-thok-gamorreans

IF YOU PLAYED STAR WARS VIDEO GAMES IN THE LATE 1990S, you were probably aware of several characters nobody talks about anymore. Mention the names "Thok" or "Arden Lyn" to a Star Wars fan today, and you may appear to have lost your mind. But in 1997, the Street Fighter knock-off Star Wars: Masters of Ter?s K?si saw familiar characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo duking it out against a host of new faces. Even back then, nobody really thought Ter?s K?si counted as real canon, but the trailer for The Mandalorian Season 2 might change all that...

It seems like some form of Gamorrean grudge-match exists in this season. At the end of the Season 2 trailer, Mando walks into what looks like spot hosting a fight between two Gamorreans, wacking each other with vibro-axes. This feels very reminiscent of Masters of Ter?s K?si, if only because examples of formalized fighting-matches in Star Wars are pretty rare. This looks like a literal cage match between these two Gamorreans, which, makes it seem like an Easter egg for Ter?s K?si. Which, then makes you wonder if one of these Gamorreans is literally named Thok. Now, this is non-canon stuff, but if it is Thok, that means he has the ability to belch a fireball.

Rewatched a few of my favorite chapters last week to get ready for season 2.

2, 7 and 8 are my favorites but I think I could watch 1-3 then 7 and 8 and call season one good. I’m back to really not liking the music though. I think it comes across as silly and detracts from the mood of the scene in most places.

I came to the same conclusion the other day. The other episodes are weak. I don't have really strong feelings about the music either way, though.

Re: Star Wars live action series produced and written by Jon Favreau

Soon enough, Pascal will slip on his character?s signature helmet once more. Executive producer and showrunner Jon Favreau told Variety that ?The Mandalorian? is ?on schedule? to start production on Season 3 of the series ?before the end of the year? ? after Pascal wraps shooting in Europe on the feature film ?The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent? with Nicolas Cage.

?We?re operating under the assumption that we?ll be able to go forward,? Favreau said. He noted that the innovative production technique pioneered for ?The Mandalorian? ? with wall-sized video panels for location backdrops ? puts the show in a unique position within the industry.

?We?re in very small situations and oftentimes we have a lot of characters in masks,? he said. ?And we also have a lot of digital work that augments things. So we?re a show that?s probably well-equipped to be flexible based on the protocols that are emerging surrounding work restarting.?

No great surprise but still good to hear.

Latest RUMOR is Ezra Bridger will show up in Season 3 - works for me.

 

[Buttmunch]

If that’s true, Thrawn ought to be with him!

The name of Din D'jarin's home planet was ferreted out....

So "The" Mandalorian isn't actually Mandalorian? Typical of SW I guess, most main characters are adopted.




Is it just me, or is most of the pre-S2 hype about The Child rather than the actual Mandalorian? Think that's why I've never really got into it.
