I think his right thigh is the only part that doesn’t look new and shiny but I can’t tell.

Episode owns. Mandalorian owns. Nostalgia is OK when it's done well. Episodic-style sci-fi with over-arching plot is the best. Show rules.

text editor posted:Olyphant's character clearly a movie fan, as his speeder bike was a modified engine from Anakin's podracer I loved this little bit of callback. All the best callbacks in this show are little nods but not obvious if you're not a huge dork like Anakin's Podracer, or R5 being from A New Hope, the Tuskan Raiders riding single file, or best of all, how they used Obi Wan's scream from A New Hope as the base for the actual Kyyyrt (sp?) Dragon call which was awesome Also - I saw that and was delighted, but then I wondered - did he pull apart Anakin's podracer or did Anakin salvage two lovely speeders to make his podracer? The whole "mysterious stranger riding into town" cliche is so great and I love it and they go at it 100% in this show and I respect them for it, spurs and all.

Also when it comes to tropes and how well this show works episodically this was a perfect combination of Western - two (or more) devil-may-care rogues must come together to fight a threat to the village and learn to respect eachother Fantasy - a good old fashioned "town hires a mysterious knight in armor to slay the dragon"

Still, the Seven Samurai episode would have been better with seven of them. Like in season 3 or something.

I'm guessing we get that last shot resolved in the next episode. I'm curious how it'll go down considering that Boba's likely shown his face. He may have answers but returning the armor might be culturally problematic. Heck, he may not have a rightful claim to it anyways if he just took it from ol' dad-clone. Hopefully we'll see a bit more of 'The Way' spelled out.

Big fan of spaghetti westerns so I really appreciate this show leaning into that feel like it does. It understands what made Star Wars cool too.

This is not the best show in the world by conventional standards but it is so goddamn fun and exactly why I got into Star Wars. They’re nailing this show in the ways that really matter to me.

Darth Brooks posted:I enjoyed that way more than I've enjoyed the sequel movies. I mean, it's Disney applying the Marvel formula properly to Star Wars. "What if Star Wars - but a Western?" It's the same reason Disney's best Star Wars movie was Rogue One. "What if Star Wars - but war and light espionage?"

I definitely took it that Anakin's podracer was made from two lovely speeders. Just like he "built" c3p0 but we see the same base model of protocol droid all over the galaxy

Even if he is, they can just say basically Deathwatch is Orthadox and whatever tribe/creed Boba belongs to is Reform. The "helmet stays on" stricture isn't a thing with the Mandos in TCW or Rebels either.

teagone posted:No big! The Mandalorian AR transition was super seamless. I didn't notice the AR changed until the close up shot of Cobb. That's why I had to rewind it lol. I wanted to see when the AR started to open up. It's so good. Wow, I never even noticed when watching. I went back to look when it happens...and just never noticed, even with the dolly zoom.

Owlbear Camus posted:Even if he is, they can just say basically Deathwatch is Orthadox and whatever tribe/creed Boba belongs to is Reform. Also Mando's set like 30 years after Mandalore got the poo poo kicked out of it by the Empire and its people scattered to the galactic winds. That hadn't happened yet in Clone Wars and still relatively fresh by the time of Rebels. So I'm guessing the "don't take the helmet off" thing is relatively recent development and in response to the whole Mandalorian diaspora thing. Well, the good news is that the same one guy is in charge of all three shows, so there's probably going to be a consistent through line between them once we get to the point of exploring it in depth. Also, according to The Way, when you take the helmet off, you're dead. As far as the rest of the Galaxy knows, Boba Fett is dead, so if there's one Mando out there who's earned the right to ditch the helmet, it's him. Also the implication seems to be that he's going to hunt Din down and take his armor back, so maybe he didn't take the helmet off willingly and is looking to fix that? We'll see.

You know considering the Covert has a lot of former Death Watch members and Jango loving hated the Death Watch in Open Seasons, I'm wondering if the show does decide to make Boba Fett a recurring character do they give him some issues with Din because Din was raised by Death Watch.

Episode was good... ...BUT it lacked in Jawa-action! I would have loved them to join in the Dragonslayer-Alliance, ramming the Sandcrawler into the beast. Also in the scene, where the Tuskan raises the pearl above his head, i so wanted a Jawa to run in, screaming SOOOOOGAAAA! and snatching it. I already heard it in my head, dammit!

Episode owned. Still kinda weird that the last thread was hemming and hawing about the show becoming to serialized or “live action clone wars”, and now there’s a bunch of complaints that the second season seems to have committed to the semi-episodic format and narrow focus of the first season, lmao.

My only complaint about the episode is it needed some earlier instance where he used the stun baton, to remind the audience (or show a new audience) that was something he had. Maybe that was used in the opening fight, I don't remember.

I'd completely forgotten about Temuera's casting, so I was watching the episode thinking "Ah, so they're using this to finally tell us Boba's dead and gone" And then the end of the episode happened The remake of the Tatooine KOTOR mission was an interesting choice

Chill Penguin posted:He used it when he escaped from the Krayt dragon Yes the poster is saying it could have used some set up earlier in the episode since it was so important in the end. I had no idea what he was using so just assumed some cool Magical Mandalorian Armor Nonsense which is fine by me. Edit: a good example is the micro missiles (I forget the cool name) - they don’t set them up from last season but when e turns them on Baby Yoda’s reaction tells us what is up.
