gohmak posted:I sincerely hope we see the Darksaber in The Mandalorian It was last seen 10 years before the events in The Mandalorian on planet Mandalore (in the Rebels cartoon series ) and it kind've feels like the Mandalorian series is trying to avoid anything to do with the Mandalorians' home planet, but apparently the Empire kicked the absolute poo poo out of Mandalore during The Great Purge and we don't know exactly when that happened so who knows where the Darksaber might be now.

Is everyone calling him Mando doing a space racism like if I called Chewie “hey Wookie!” Or is it more like calling someone a Frenchie? Is Mandaloria like a culture or a religion or a race or what? I feel like the show plays fast and loose with it by design but everyone calling him Mando seems... uh, rude I guess?

Then it probably isn't racism. Or at least it's not racism that he gives a wet rear end in a top hat's fart about punishing.

Mando doesn’t seem like the kind of person to get into fights like that, he’s frequently shown to descalate things. In the Bill Burr episode he doesn’t even swing at Bill when he threatens to steal the baby. I don’t think it’s weird to presume people are disrespectful of a mysterious armored alien with weird customs, or that they’d come up with a slur for him, like how Bill Burr calls the Twi’Lek a “Crazy Tweek”. Space racism is a part of Star Wars, like how everyone treats Tuskens and Jawas

I'm pretty sure in a pan galactic civilization with thousands of intelligent species, sapient beings would be species-ist as hell. Humans are already racist as gently caress irl and there aren’t actually anything but superficial phenotypical differences between ethnic groups. But like different species of intelligent beings could have actual and significant differences, could be more or less aggressive, intelligent, xenophobic, war-like etc. It is (or was) canon that the Empire was very racist, which is every Imperial officer is a human, except Thrawn.

I think of it as yet another nod to classic westerns. Like when the hero walks into a saloon and people would adress him as "cowboy" or "gringo" or whatever. And of course that setting is also full of racism.

They call him Mando because that's what they call him. I'm sure that's about as much thought as the writers put into it and that's how much thought you should put into it.

Also his tribe is living in a secret underground enclave where they only ever leave one at a time (except if poo poo hits the fan) so every time he steps outside he's stepping into the role of "the only Mandalorian we see around town ever" so it's probably a deliberate choice to keep non-Mandalorians from knowing his name.

zoux posted:Anyway, someone earlier said this show acts like the prequels never happened That person must have missed the part where Mando has a deep and abiding distrust of droids due to his home planet being attacked by murderous CIS droid forces and nearly being killed by the same seperatist B2 super battle droid that slaughtered his parents.

Start was a bit weak, stormtrooper chat tends to be bad but whatever. Good episode, with a few lore dumps throughout which has helped to flesh out the characters a bit more. Plus, ya know. Darksaber is back, RIP Bo-Katan.

I liked episodes 7-9 quite a bit, so I can't get behind the Mandalorian being better than the recent films, but it's certainly on par and I think it's a very valid opinion because while I liked the movies they had some pretty obvious flaws, and the Mandalorian is much more of a streamlined package with fewer weak points. It does some stuff really well that the films didn't, and the films did some stuff well that the Mandalorian doesn't. Really to me it comes across as two parts of the same whole and I'm excited for future Star Wars Disney+ projects that further flesh out the universe, and bring in the occasional vibroblade or you know what from the end of the episode as part of my continued desire to see more elements from all aspects of Star Wars (books, animated shows, etc.) in live action. A fun finale here, though the Prisoner is still my top episode of the season because I felt that just a really fun story that was super well executed. I also admire that they struck a good balance between losing some characters to raise stakes and leaving plenty on the table to come back again in future seasons. Jerkface posted:Jason Sudeikis & Adam Pally were the scout troopers lmao Nice, it's been really fun to see so many comedians get to come in for nice little roles here and there. I hope that trend continues. I was really hoping we'd see that officer executed once they brought that up, a drat shame that didn't happen on screen. Put me down for hoping that Sudeikis appearing is a possible sign that Olivia Wilde comes in for an episode, I'm sure she could pull off a hell of a Star Wars character. I also would really like to see Mando head into systems under proper New Republic control next season. Seeing a planet that's not having crazy battles all the time and running smoothly under a non-evil multi-planet government would really interest me. Basically I want Mando showing up to a fancy space library in full armor. NowonSA fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Dec 27, 2019 |

Yeah, little things like Cara Dune being from Alderaan or Greef Karga being a disgraced magistrate really fleshed out the characters. Plus I LOLed at the Mando going "It's not a race. It's" (looking directly at Carl Weathers) "a Creed." The biker scouts having their discussion had me giggling as well, but them constantly missing the target was a bit too much. Also one of them goes "oh my god" at some point, which sounded a bit too earthly to me. Nonetheless they deserved what they got for hitting baby Yoda.

It's a minor thing, but the books really go all-in on giving as many alternate words for earth things as they can. Hackers become slicers, bathrooms become refreshers, and so on. I was a bit sad that the Mandalorian didn't go quite as far asthey could with that, and using words like "oh my god" is one example of that. I guess it's better to use language that sounds natural to the 98% or so of people watching who aren't way deep into the books though.

Yeah it's like it was just a fun ending that hit all the beats people would expect and setup what the show would be going forward, and then throws one little crazy "Hey. Hey. Why see something cool?" shot at the end to tie it in to the wider universe in a way relevant to the cartoons in general and Mandalorians in particular. loving Darksaber, really? God bless you show.
