The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

Re: Star Wars live action series-Jon Favreau's THE MANDALORIAN

I think the only time we've ever gotten such a prequel was Temple of Doom. Not a single callback other than the brief moment he reached for his pistol in front of the two Thugee swordsman. Probably won't ever see such a film again.

The brilliance of ToD...

It followed the Bond formula of moving ever forward rather than looking back (like the new ones do). I'm a huge supporter of "the further adventures of..." stories rather than constant "origin" stories and/or prequels and reboots (which at the end of the day is just a 2nd chance to do it again).

Sadly it was Spielberg himself who ushered in the "cram-in-the-callbacks" into a 10-minute opening in the next Indy film that revealed how young Indy gained all of his signature character bits in one hastily thrown-together train chase -- from his chin scar to his fear of snakes. One of the many reasons I think its almost the worst Indiana Jones movie.

I wasn't of an age to be bothered by that. And hindsight hasn't changed anything

Other than Pirates, LOTR and Marvel, have you ever seen a franchise in its original order?

Re: Star Wars live action series-Jon Favreau's THE MANDALORIAN

I've only seen the first two Pirates films, not really a fan of those.

With the classics of my childhood I could have seen them in correct order, I just don't remember, especially where I was too young to see them in the cinema. The only one where I'm sure I didn't see them in correct order is Star Wars - definitely remember ANH being new and exciting after already been very familiar with Empire and Jedi. I may have seen Aliens before Alien.

Terminator, no idea. Indy, no idea, Back to the Future, dunno.

Predator is one I think I saw in release order - and every Batman film from '89 onwards.

I didn't think Solo over did the Memberberrys, but why can't hollywood do a sequel/prequel that has zero callbacks? No Kessle Run, no first meeting between Han and Chewie or Lando, no origin of the gold dice, no playing holochest, no winning the Falcon and no Maul cameo. Just an original story with Han and Chewie doing something unexpected.

If they did that the other half of the fandom would be bitching about them holding out on the kessel run, Chewies life debt...etc etc...

You cant win with SW fans....thats why the studio is catering to new ones.

All us old guys don’t know what we want anymore...

Honestly never got the Fett Hype, hated the Mandalorian arcs in both animated shows....

This series is the ultimate pandering to the fans.

Give us a series about anything else....how about the oragins of the sith?

Re: Star Wars live action series-Jon Favreau's THE MANDALORIAN

Okay

A. Kid living off the streets in India with no sewer system and subjected to predetermined class structure daily abuse illness and hunger but watched OT and Indy in proper order.

B. a-dev in beautiful Ireland but simply because of date of birth he experienced OT and Indy out of order.

Yup like you Khev I choose life A!

Wait....

In what order did a-dev watch T1/T2!

Re: Star Wars live action series-Jon Favreau's THE MANDALORIAN



Being born in the early 80's and thus *just* missing watching the OT on the big screen must be a special kind of hell, lol.

I could play the Joker with the huge grin I have on my face right now it hurts so much.

Best part a-dev is shlubbing at work having no idea this is taking place lol

As for what order I saw T1/T2 in - I wish I knew. Although it's perhaps that uncertainty that enables me to see both as equally legitimate canon. Wouldn't want to be one of those purists for whom there has never been a good sequel to T1

Meh, I got to see the special editions. What...that was still a big event...

I'm afraid the Hereditary references go over my head. I'm waiting to watch the sequel first
