The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Jaycepticon]

You guys have me thinking I'm assuming too much now

I just figured new episodes would be done sort of like how the WWE does their PPV's nowadays. They'll air it live on that Sunday and then its just there forever after to watch whenever.

Most likely the main reason they want to do weekly episodes is to avoid a lot of people signing up then dropping the service after 1 month and bingeing the entire show in a day or two. This way they're more likely to last at least 2 to 3 months, and during that time may decide the service is worth keeping as they find other things to watch and enjoy over that time period. If The Mando and The Clone Wars dropped at the same time in November, and with all episodes available at the same time, I'm sure many would binge watch them all and pay for just a single month of Disney+. Disney wants to own our *****, not be a rental service.

Once it's released, I'm pretty sure this (and all Disney+ exclusive shows such as the Marvel stuff) will stay on their streaming service indefinitely. Doesn't make sense to remove it at all. It's their property. It'll never be shown anywhere else. And, depending on popularity, may never even see a home video release. Most Netflix shows never make it to BluRay either. So this will also force those who prefer to own to actually have to sign up for their streaming service as well.

I hope they at least release The Clone Wars on Blu, as it would really suck owning the initial 6 seasons (along with the entire run of Rebels) but not being able to own the final and last season as it's exclusive to Disney+. The Mando would have to be amazing for me to want to own it.

Yeah the only way I'll pay the monthly service fee on an ongoing basis is if all this stuff remains on-demand indefinitely after it airs.

 

[jye4ever]

Which it should since only Disney owned items will populate the service that is unless creates a “digital streaming vault”.

Speaking of which, can they air the 90's Spiderman and X-Men cartoons too since they own them now?

Id say its a good bet that this is the beginning of the end for discs...

That's exactly how I assume it will work.

While i’m now addicted to the binge model I see multiple reasons why Disney should do it.

Be different than Netflix’s dump and forget model. Seriously other than Stranger Things Netflix just dumps with little fanfare and then jumps to the next big thing.

Allows Disney to stretch out products because of limited content at the moment.

Gives it that old school delivery feel that fits perfectly with the OT vibe.

Makes the show feel special instead of dump and run like Netflix.

Perfect marketing build up towards IX everyone thinking of SW for over a month indtead of concentrating on other movies.

It all sounds very reasonable for me.

Ugh, after the stellar season 1, Stranger Things season 2 was such a ****pile I'm not sure I'm all that interested in season 3. I'm genuinely shocked they even bothered with Season 3.

Yep I see no issue with simply rewatching each new episode 13 times before the next one instead of watching 13 new ones at once, lol.

I keep hearing that Blu is a soon-to-be-doomed format because of the factories that produce the discs shutting up. I really love BR... it would be a shame to see it go. I like owning that disc with all the features.

You know that Disney + is going to have special versions of the Marvel/SW films with Ex features that's essentially going to be a virtual BR.

Prediction: The Mandalorian will be the best thing since Rogue One.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I had an opportunity to meet McCallum back in his LFL days and just missed out and was kind of bummed out at the time - don't feel that way any more.

Yeah, McCallum is opposite of Gary Kurtz.

McCallum is now lost somewhere in Prague with a little film company making movies no one's heard of.

 

[jye4ever]

Probably porn, i’m jealous of RM lol

 

[Khev]

I got to stand about 10 feet away from McCallum while he signed autographs at SW Weekends in WDW back in 2006 and at least he did come across as a genuinely friendly and chummy guy with fans.

Would depend on the type of porn JYE. Might be old person porn for all you know or fattie porn.

I wouldn't worry. Physical media has definitely been cut back on, but its here to stay.

Talk about porn I was walking with my son and wife lastnight still daylight out and we see a commotion going on outside a burger joint we were going to and as we approach the crowd of males AND females who are all chanting “go go go!” and in the middle of the circle are three white girls had to be between 18-20 all 3 wearing thongs, see thru t-shirts, no bras and flip flops tonguing each other out in public lol

My son was like dad what’s going on I was like ask your mother lol

Kids today I swear

Wow how cool. I have a feeling The Mandalorian is going to be so good.

 

[Buttmunch]

Like Rogue One, I feel this is being made by true OT fans. I have no doubt this will be height of GoT good.

Maybe I'll wait for some reactions before I pay for another streaming service. It does look good so far though.
