The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, Mando is straight up savage, but as the twist ending revealed, his moments of mercy and good judgment rewarded him, and prove he isn't just a mindless killing machine.

YOU people, however, are ALL MURDERERS and you're ALL GOING TO HELL.

Good lord that video made me quizzical and frustrated at the same time.

Is that what happened in Mando?

That video was great.. I wish I could have been there so I could have thrown a corpse from my plate at them

Guess the jet pack isn’t Beskar

That was a pretty weird episode, falling more into Holiday Special or early Marvel comics territory.

The frog language that supposedly communicates so much detail with just a few odd noises (that a human can replicate) is even stretching the credulity of an already incredulous universe.

Baby Yoda was less adorable, and too wilful. Djarin needs to give the brat a damn good hiding, but then he'd just get force choked if he tried. The Child is a lethal menace.

If little orphan Annie could become Darth Vader, the Child already has a head start on the path to the dark side.

As if eating frog lady's eggs wasn't already bad enough, eating the spider was just horrific!


It's just as well frog lady can't count.

I enjoyed the 2nd episode well enough. I guess I'm easily pleased with seeing familiar things and places as long as the classic stories and characters aren't being ****ed with.

I've never seen that before. Like seeing the iceberg damage on the wreck of Titanic.

Han hit it with a stick. Setting the precedent for Chirrut's scene in Rogue One. Space Sticks are LETHAL. Must be why the Emperor's guards carry 'em.

I don't hate the show.. I just find it incredibly overrated which I think impacts my enjoyment of it.

Like I said.. If this was not a SW show I know I would not watch it.. I wonder how many would.

I can't understand the idea of allowing other people's opinions to affect my own about a TV show or movie that I watch. Why do you GAF what other people think?

If YOU don't like, just stop watching it.

I really want Hot Toys to make Cobb Vanth. He, Kuiil, and Cara Dune are at the top of my want list.

Where'd that pic of the backpack with the hole in it come from? I've never seen it before. I don't remember Han gouging a hole out of the jetpack, I just thought he activated it.

I dont care what others think.. I just watch average episodes and I cant help think... "Why does everyone love this so much? " So when I see dumb things and everyone who complained about such things in the PT and ST give this show a pass... Well It just sticks out that much more.

Its like with the movie Avatar.. It was meh... Ok time at the movies.. But then it became the #1 movie of all time and got this weird cult following for a little while.. An average film getting all that.. Well that affects a lot of people how they view something.. Its human nature I thing

Also.. I never said I didn't like the show. I just find it overrated.

Hope that's ok with you

All these years later and I see this.

I've seen this movie dozens of times and I always thought the jetpack malfunctioned because Han hit it with a steel pole.

I thought it sucked.

The final battle made ZERO sense, never mind the rest being mediocre at best.

Same here!

I imagined for years he hit a trigger on the jetpack, a silly chance event that sent Boba off onto his comedic end.

When I realised Han picked up one of the guards' vibro-axes it made much more sense, and Boba's demise became less comedic.

I don't think much of Infinity War or End Game - or GOTG 2 either. Thought BP was overrated - saved by committed performances. Not much interest in re-watching.

If something doesn't grab u, it doesn't. Only thing that really baffles me is the "instant gratification" or movie format (2 hours and we're done) format some commenters seem to want - not necessarily on this board.

Don't get it because Favreau said from the beginning this is a Western-serial style TV SHOW. Multiple seasons. Many adventures. Many, many adventures. It's like the creators can talk and repeat themselves about their vision/show design and it just gets ignored, even tho a lot of the same viewers are familiar with Clone Wars and Rebels. Which have multiple seasons and many, many adventures. Recurring characters. New characters. Evolving character arcs and stories.

Look, my comic fan bro hasn't even watched Season 2 yet but he doesn't tell me to shut it about the epic incredible mindblowing awesomeness of this show or *&^%% out about getting pics of the latest collectible (Gentle Giant Mando minibusts)

TBH appreciate the PT - at least from a world building perspective - a lot more now. Like one YT blogger points out, Lucas cared about what he was doing, even if it wasn't what a lot of people wanted at the time.

When I realised Han picked up one of the guards' vibro-axes it made much more sense, and Boba's demise became less comedic.

Still the same whether stick or vibro-ax: Han turns, accidentally hits the jetpack -- causing it to short/explode (how it can still fly with a hole like that is anyone's guess) -- Boba is launched and cries out like Dean Jones in a bad Disney comedy, added "incoming!" sound effect added for comedic effect, as he slams into a wall, drops to the ground and tumble-rolls into a hole. Classic comedic beat. Wiley Coyote style. George even added the guffaw punctuation: BURP! If the ridiculousness of the stunt didn't make the kiddies laugh, that belch certainly will.

Yeah, that's cool and all, but I've never seen that particular picture or detail of the jetpack. It certainly wasn't on the version of the actual costume on display at Magic of Myth. And you don't SEE a hole in the pack at all in the movie. Obviously there's tons of details in all the SW movies you never actually see on screen, but I just find it amazing that they made a prop specifically for the 1.5 seconds of screentime after he gets hit, and I've never seen a picture of that prop in my life and I'm a pretty hardcore fan. Just wonder where that pic came from.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well that damage is not there in ROTJ, so who knows why it was made...

Mando maneuvers with precision during mid battle.

Fett flails like its his first day flying and someone put a spider in his helmet.
