The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[ArtDamage]

Ep3 solid as expected . Some fan fictiony feeling bits at the end to be honest, but too awesome to make you too cynical about it.

Bill Burr confirmed on his podcast today he won't be on until episode 6.

For now show is ok. Not too good, but ok. Can't wait Burr

Well, it's 3 for 3 for me.....I absolutely love this show. Today's episode was just as good as previous eps. Maybe not super surprising; a bit formulaic, but still thoroughly entertaining.

And look...it was directed by a woman! And here I am saying she did a fantastic job and I loved it! I'm such a terrible misogynist, aren't I?

So one non-spoilery detail that bothered me.....

The Doctor character....he' wearing regular old Earth style sunglasses. Is this the first time we've seen actual "spectacles" in Star Wars? Kinda took me out of things for a moment, wondering why he wasn't wearing goggles or just floating lenses or something. Like that little fat girl in Phantom Menace that had braces. On Tattooine. She had BRACES on her teeth. Man, that pissed me off when I saw it.

So...spoilery....

And just like that, every existing figure based on the Mandalorian is obsolete! That was one hell of an upgrade. I dig the nice new shiny armor look, but do we think it will last? Will he have to go back to his old "crappy" armor at some point, especially since he broke the contract and all?

Also, it was cool to finally see a group of actual "Mandalorian Super Commandos" in combat, even if I did see their rescue coming a mile away. As someone who never watched the Clone Wars or any other cartoons, this is the first time I've seen them in action. I used to imagine that as a kid, so it was cool. Also, the concept art for that Heavy Armored Mandalorian had Jon Favreau's likeness, so it's possible he was actually in that outfit, but I didn't see him in the credits as an actor.

Even sounded like him...had to be.

I continue to be really impressed with this show! To be honest I thought the asset was going to do something crazy at the end, I was relieved how it all turned out. The show is just way too cool to nitpick!

This keeps getting better for me. As mentioned above, the climax to the end scene was a bit predictable, but that didn't make it any less awesome. I nearly got up and cheered when it happened.

I actually *didn't* see a couple of beats coming, so it was fun to be surprised. Had I been thinking about it maybe, but the show enables full suspension of disbelief and encourages immersion.

This is how you use a formula -- or to go back to something I said earlier somewhere -- this is how you make a really good wheel.

I actually smiled when the credits rolled. It really does feel like they went back to an older style of episodic storytelling and they're nailing it.

Nice to finally see what all those weapons can do. Actually felt bad for some of those guys.

What gets me is how much I care for Baby Yoda. Care more about him/her than any of the ST characters and I've only seen him for like a few minutes....

That's what got Mando.

 

[Otomofan]

Baby Yoda really is a shaved Mogwai though. He even makes the same cooing noises as Gizmo.


I still love him.

Get ready for all the plush toys to hit holiday stores like it's 1984 again. Don't care, baby Yoda is almost as likable as Gizmo.

I am ready! If they do one like the animatronic Chewbacca I've got, I will lose my mind!

Great series, and I'm not even a fan of Fett. This is the Star Wars I was waiting for. Cool main character, that has his own flaws and makes believable mistakes, an excellent story so far, and really good background characters in all episodes, Kuiil, Jawas, Herzog's Imperial character, IG-11, Carl Weather's character and of course Baby Yoda (or Baby of whatever species Yoda is LOL). Give me Mando instead of any Sequel they keep trying to make. I have spoken

 

[jye4ever]

This show is improving in quality from episode to episode at an exponential rate.

I've seen Baby Yoda referred to as "TINY" (This Is Not Yoda) online. That works … for now.

 

[jye4ever]

The bond I felt between a cooing baby that only communicates with their eyes and ears and a person that has their freaking face covered is out of the world strong.

That is freaking unbelievable.

I?m a grown *** big gruffy bearded man and I need that cute thing on my shelf next to his surrogate papa lol

What about calling it Yodel in honor of Yoda and Yaddle.
