CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I guess every mandalorian freezes their targets because it happened once in the movies. Empire establishes that carbon freezing people is, if not common not completely unheard of. Lando's objections are based around cloud city's facility being crude and used for industrial freezing, not designed for life forms. Thom12255 posted:Looks like Episode 9 is gonna retcon this to show Luke did train her for a bit. Revealing something that happened off screen during a 30 year time gap isn't a "retcon". jivjov fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Gay Horney posted:the trailer where they showed someone going YOU SPILLED MY DRINK and then the tough good guy beats up some bad guys and his friends using age old Jason Statham moves really really killed this for me fast. those sixty seconds confirmed this show is going to be unwatchable. without even seeing the rest you can immediately confirm he'll get a wacky sidekick and a moment of characterization at some point where he's asked to do something distasteful by a mysterious client. plots from the 1960s in rubber suits.

Rewatched episode 1...was gonna go to a theatrical screening but my wife had to cancel. Anyway, I seriously can't wait to see more of this show. While I'm glad it wasn't an entire season drop at once, I absolutely would have binged it if that was the case. I totally get the complaints of a bit of a slow start...but giving us a "normal" bounty run and some Clan stuff before launching into what is sure to be the Season Arc really helps flesh out the character and the world. Greef's line about there being plenty of jobs, but people not wanting to pay guild rates and being okay with "sloppy" bounties says so much about the state of the galaxy

ufarn posted:The thing that wasn't great about it was that you could cut it all out without really missing out on anything crucial, and with a TV episode duration, it's a lot of time to spend on something that only serves to bring us from point A to B. If you take the other bounty pucks offered by Greef as a representative sample, it looks like the majority of the available jobs are bail jumpers, with the occasional wanted smuggler. The Guild is presented, at least in the first episode, as being on the fringes of the underworld but still mostly legitimate. They have rules and a charter and formal procedures. The sequence itself is to show "a day in the life" for The Mando, it's basically the same thing we got from Rey in The Force Awakens--a routine average day before the Call To Adventure kicks in.

It's also worth nothing that we're told there are plenty of other jobs out there, just not officially guild sanctioned ones. If "make as much money as possible" was the sole goal, he could always go freelance

ufarn posted:Hopefully the weekly release schedule means they won't have the god-awful Netflix pacing where showrunners seem to just write for their entire season to be binged in one or two days. It just blows my mind that there are people out there who hate the episodic release method. An entire season drop removes so much of the pacing, the tension, the discussion and speculation that you can get out of weekly releases. Speaking of, do we know what time episode 2 hits tomorrow? Trying to plan out when to watch that versus when to play Jedi Fallen Order

Weedle posted:True, but I'm 99% sure this is literally an adaptation of the story of a canceled video game. Kennedy actually said "we want to reuse stuff from that game for a TV show" after Disney bought Lucasfilm. I just didn't expect them to make it feel exactly like watching a Twitch stream. I don't think a story set on one level of a giant city planet is the one they're using for their planet-hopping western....

Weedle posted:Prediction: this show's only notable female character will be a hot lady bounty hunter leading a gang of multi-ethnic (but all pretty light-skinned) lady bounty hunters. It won't be immediately obvious that she's a woman, though, because she'll be fighting while wearing a helmet that disguises her voice. Then after the fight someone will say "That guy's crazy!!" or something, and then she'll be like "That... GUY???" and take off her helmet so her long hair cascades down her back. Her henchwomen will have minimal to no dialogue. Given that we literally know casting information of two different women who will be appearing in the show.....

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I remember something about Mandos using Vibro-blades that cause enormous amounts of damage so I'm assuming it's one of those, or maybe it has a fast-acting neurotoxin or something on it? Vibro weapons have been Star Wars lore for decades; so cool to finally see one on screen. (The trandoshans had them too)

Space Panda posted:He makes a good point. Might be better to wait and just binge all the episodes of you are on the fence with Disney +. Sure, wait and binge if Mando is literally the only thing on the service you care about; but to sit there and demand specific run-times and episode counts is peak entitlement culture.

"Let the past die" was not the thesis of the film. It's made explicitly clear that trying to ignore the past is a lovely idea.

veni veni veni posted:This is the one thing throwing me for a loop. I am generally a prequel/EU hater so my memory of it isn't perfect, but weren't the Mandalorians supposed to be an extinct warrior race as opposed to just a bunch of Boba Fetts who are still around, post ROTJ? I don't really care cause this is cooler, but doesn't this clash with the prequels? Full disclosure I haven't seen them since they were in theaters. Mandalorians are a culture, not a species. There are some clans/families that have been part of that culture for generations, there's a whole planet of Mandalorian Humans, but (as we've seen from the snippets of The Mandalorian's backstory), you can be adopted in or join up.

NienNunb posted:The thing is, the scene in TLJ with Luke and Kylo is a top 3 Star Wars scene. I'm sure that's a nuclear take, but I'm right and smart. Absolutely. There's a reason that movie is one of, if not the, best Star Wars films ever made. But to touch on that big ol effort post slightly above, the coolest thing about the star wars universe is that it does actually feel like a full universe. There's the Skywalker Saga, the generational tale of a dysfunctional family, and then there's all this other stuff that fits into so many different genres.
