As a big fan of animation, I'm glad The Mandalorian goes with the live-action look- as said, it recreates and expands on the visual language of the original trilogy in meaningful ways, and has its own very distinct vibes as a result. Samurai Jack was great, but we already had Star Wars Samurai Jack. The costumes, puppetry, and choreography combined with acting ranging from decent to hammy requires and has clearly received a ton of loving effort. The whole comparison to Lone Wolf and Cub and the general samurai plot is also quite fitting, because yeah, it's got the same themes of being on a lawless periphery where any central authority is sparse, distrusted and arbitrary while warlords and opportunists are thick on the ground. Every choice that the protagonist makes matters, because there's rarely someone just standing around to tell him otherwise- and he's not clearly bound by honour or rules like Jack or a typical Jedi.

I’m reading some websites and Bo Katan and Ahsoka are apparently in other media.

Yes, they were in The Clone Wars and Rebels. However so far that doesn't really matter to whats going on in Mandalorian too much, the majority of the audience probably hasn't seen those and will be just fine.

Everyone posted:Animated Werner Herzog did own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U03ofzkptDg I feel like the only thing you have to do to get Werner Herzog to show up is just say "Hey Werner, wanna go do something?". And then it happens. Or possibly pull a Joaquin Phoenix and nearly die, and just suddenly there's Werner.

Cheesus posted:And then after seeing a job through you can go back and take back a delivery because you have mortal qualms about it. There's a whole chunk of episode focusing on making the decision that the Mandalorian code of honor outweighs the bounty hunter code. The show explains it better than I can, if you watch it with the sound on. *Also the "payment" was spoils of war, and keeping it was recovery of stolen cultural artifacts.

Did Dawson do a good job as Ash(hs)oka? Assume I've never seen a star wars cartoon.

I think the interesting nuance of Dawson's Ahsoka is that she's unapologetically driven and aggressively wrecking poo poo. Old Ben and Old Yoda become quiet and contemplative monks, but Ahsoka is not at peace and does not really want to go back to being a traditional Jedi. I read that as an unstated reason why she chooses not to train Grogu; not just because of the attachment but because it would mean she'd have to give up on her mission.

Yeah I think that conflict was well acted / directed.

euphronius posted:Did Dawson do a good job as Ash(hs)oka? She did a fantastic job. Dawson embodied the character excellently. I knew we were in good hands when Mando used his launched cords to tie her up and she realized she could jump up and screw up his plan, the smile on her face is 100% the Ahsoka from the Clone Wars and Rebels. She got the physicality, the personality, and the heart of the character very well. She also happens to look very good in the makeup and her voice is fairly close to what Ahsoka would sound like at the age, continuing the progression her voice actress was doing from CW to Rebels.

The best part was after her fight with Mando whe she points at Grogu and says “I hope your here to talk about that!” Pure Ahsoka from what I’ve seen of her in the toons.

I was a huge EU nerd back in the nineties and now that they're picking and choosing the cool stuff to bring back into the canon, how long until we see some fuckin' World Devastators?

When Grogu gets his armor, do you think his helmet will have articulated ears? If not, what's the point.

It's an enormous statement of quality that they take a character from a show with a different format and a different theme and different actor and still manage to make it feel absolutely consistent within the broader world.

Having it be written and directed by the same guy who co-created and was the showrunner of both of those series definitely helps. Filoni ![]()
