The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

Spoiler

Wait, what do you mean? He was overpowered BY the Dark Trooper and barely survived the encounter, then he fought and defeated Gideon - someone who isn't exactly a front line soldier. And once he was disarmed, you knew Gideon was most likely to resort to deceit to try to turn the tables.

Spoiler

It was a win win for Gideon. He either killed Din and stole away with Grogu or Din bested him and Bo Katarn's plans were ruined (plus he knew that the Dark Troopers would come back).

Which character did they get wrong?

Spoiler

I saw pure perfection in Luke and I liked the fact that Fett honored his Mando word but also is clearly going back to the underworld to be the new kingpin in place of Jabba. So he's got some honor but he's still got that bad a$$ in him. And Fennic is just awesome!

Fett was completely ruined.

Absolutely horrible just horrible.

My Fett doesn't need Mulan doing his dirty work for him when he arrives at a job.

My Fett doesn't honor commitments he only has double crosses and only honors himself.

My Fett doesn't say "Just be safe" unless he is double crossing.

He could've had his way with the Mando mission and still went and claimed his new throne at the end.

meh he was bested by lame single small Mandalorian.

You just know this quote is going to be thrown in your face next year when you're praising his new series.

Dude.

Fett is tapping that lady's cyborg ****** with what's left of his sarlacc-eaten genitals. Of course he's gonna tell her to be safe.

 

[jye4ever]

Fett is still a P***Y ROTJ skiff flailing style lol

 

[Otomofan]

Boba Fatt is my favorite. I know the masses went goo goo ga ga over Baby Yoda when he was revealed, but the greatest moment for me was seeing Fett in his armor again.

I don't even care that he's fat and has a stupid New Zealand accent. The Boba Fett armor looks so freaking damned cool with that matte paint job and black robe underneath. I need figures of it yesterday.

I think he told the entire team on the shuttle to please just be safe.

Awww how nice of him so cute Fett now has feelings of comradeship and teamwork.

I was waiting for him to shed a tear for the strike team.

At least now we know what most likely happened to Grogu...he was probably slaughtered along with the rest of Luke?s Padawan by Kylo Ren. ST - the gift that keeps on giving.

I don't know what you're talking about. Kylo who? ST?

Kylo Ren? ST? These words mean nothing to me. Maybe you're from some weird alternate universe where some soulless mega corporation made some bad fan fiction. In my universe, ROTJ leads directly into The Mandalorian.

I know, right? I have a vague memory ... of long arguments with a Dark Entity called Khev about some awful Hellscape ... but ... it fades.

Spoiler

[...]wasn't Luke a little too cold in his demeanor.

Spoiler

They ran out of budget after Shuttle + Slave I

You just know this quote [jye4ever hating Boba Fett] is going to be thrown in your face next year when you're praising his new series.

Hyperbole leads to the Dark Side.

 

[The Buffinator]

I actually thought MG put up a decent fight lol

Yes he did. He looked like he'd actually practiced with the Darksaber. I wonder how many stormtroopers he sliced & diced just for the hell of it in his effort to become proficient with it lol..

 

[The Buffinator]

Spoiler

Well, other than Gideon saying the word "ORDER" and winking into the camera, there's no reason that this story has to lead into the **** trilogy. I watched this as an incredibly satisfied viewer finally getting to see the post-ROTJ Luke I always wanted to see. And boba Fett too. This could be the coda to ROTJ for me and I could stop right here and be perfectly satisfied.

And am I nuts or did the Slave 1 and the Imperial Shuttle and the TIES all just look freaking amazing??

Even the Death Troopers looked better and more menacing than the pure cheese they were in their first episode.

Yes, I found that incredibly satisfying as well. But it also served as a reminder that Lucas was the real culprit by not releasing his ST in the PT time frame. But then again, I doubt that his version 20 years ago would have given us something this well executed, so maybe some ST haters will come to view it as a blessing in disguise.

Pedro...don't make me cry on a Friday morning.

Indeed.

Spoiler

That scene broke me.
Lost the Child, no Razor Crest, a mythical blade he doesn't want *awkward*

But - thank you Peyton Reed for letting scenes breath and that saber vs. spear fight.

This is the Way.

 

[jye4ever]

You know why this Fett was now made to be a P***Y it's all because of you damn Filoni Bo Katan fans that's why so freaking lame lol

That whole session from tiny mandalorian taking Boba Fett down and smack talking him made me gringe.

The girl power avengers style assault on the ship didn't bother me whatsoever at least it was well executed but that tiny mandalorian trash talking Fett GTFO of here with that nonsense lol

Thank the maker they included the really big surprise that SAVED ME from all of that Fett misery and left me crying in joy.

For 37 years I believed that Bib Fortuna died. Today for a span of 1 minute he was alive. Then died again. Don's do that!! Also if your not going to make the Gammorean Gaurds big and fat.......don't use them.

 

[Otomofan]

And what happened to the guy Mandalorian that didn't even get any lines in that episode, if I remember correctly? Guess he was killed offscreen. I know they wanted their GIRRRRLLL POWER raid on the Star Destroyer, but that guy set off my gaydar, so I think he could still have been in the scene and it would count as "inclusive" to Disney's LGBTQ+ quota.

Really surprised they didn't have him in the scene just to get killed, to be honest. They needed to up the stakes a bit and that guy is completely expendable.

I thought "whoa cool, Gideon just totally killed one of those female Mandos!" but then, nope, she's fine. 6 or 7 laser blasts, no biggie.

I thought the same thing missed opportunity.

The girl power thing while obvious I thought was handled organically and as natural as possible it flowed well enough with very good execution so it worked for me with only minor eye roll lol

Fett and Slave 1 looked great shame he was more gay than that mando guy.

Oh how cute he has Fennec working with him.

WIMP

 

[Bo Shrek]

I don't mind the "Girl Power" thing but is it wrong when I'm watching i'm thinking "Oh we're doing this again"!! Also, honestly tell me please what is the point of Stormtroopers. It's getting boring.

Spoiler

With the reveal of the Book of Boba Fett in the end scene does this mean the Mandalorian show is all done with Din Djarin?

 

[Sassafras]

Yes, I found that incredibly satisfying as well. But it also served as a reminder that Lucas was the real culprit by not releasing his ST in the PT time frame. But then again, I doubt that his version 20 years ago would have given us something this well executed, so maybe some ST haters will come to view it as a blessing in disguise.

I think it's hilarious that

Spoiler

Essentially F & F gave a certain group of fans the badass Luke they didn't get in TLJ.

Like they can't fix the ST but they are doing what they can.

For me tho, this is Mando's show. Not Boba's or Luke's or Ezra Bridger or Ahsoka, no matter how much Filoni fan service stuffing has gone on. Which I still feel dubious about.

But this show and last episode really honed in on re-forging Din D'jarin (his arc), plenty of badassery, and it's interesting place to end up - this
"Child of the Watch" now has the Darksaber, tho I question based on some other canon why he can't just gift the sword.

Also, tho not a fan of de-aging, at that point in time re the scene, it really did need to be Hamill as Luke - if they were gonna go there.

Don't care about the female-heaviness; this is how it's done - where u don't make a big deal about it. Cara knocking out Moff Gideon LOL.

Figure Season 3 is gonna be Death Watch heavy and hopefully lead to retaking Mandalore. Fennec is badass - there's another 250$ figure

Appreciate they even changed the music after Grogu and Mando - I needed that after getting gutted. Also the Boba credit scene.

 

[Khev]

HO-LY...CRAP.

That was some of the most awesome AND most infuriating SW that I could have asked for.

I kid you not when the X-Wing showed up I felt the hate swelling in me as I anticipated another Filoni cameo. I am NOT kidding, lol. So imagine the turn around at the actual reveal!

As for the infuriating I liked everything about Fett except for his one showdown ARE YOU KIDDING ME. WHY????? Seriously WHY?????? Of all the two-bit nobody characters for him to spar with and lose, WHY HER?!???? Not Mando, not Bo Katan, not even Cara. SOME STUPID LACKEY CHICK WHO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME?!?!? FAVREAU DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE? Well I'm going to see that that nail you right to the wall here. RIGHT TO THE WALL.

Umm the point of stormtroopers is to storm not be boss soldiers.

They are meant to swarm as mindless disposable faceless grunts that are just thrown to the slaughter as not only fodder but to show that many will die as zealots for the powerful people eating their cavier without a care in the world that they are dying for them.

So let stormtroopers storm they are serving their purpose.
