Show is good. I'm definitely interested to see where this is going. The costumes, sets and some of the cgi looked real good. A few of the cgi shots looked really fake though, like they ran out of time. I did cringe at the parsec line and also I guess every mandalorian freezes their targets because it happened once in the movies.bbf2 posted:I think the Mandolorian will have to patch him up and keep working with him. He’s promoted in all the advertising as a major supporting character, I don’t think they would bait and switch us like that. I'm down for this buddy comedy.

So the action continues to be cut really quickly, most of the time after the first hit, probably to hide their bad fight choreography. That's pretty sad considering the budget and the fact that they can easily have a stuntman in place of the actual actor since his face is covered. I think I need to adjust my expectations from thrawn527 posted:So how many desert planets are Jawas riding around Sandcrawlers on? I kind of thought this meant we were on Tatooine, but I guess someone here found out that it's a different planet? Time for Jawas, the indigenous people of every desert biome planet in Star Wars!

Hobo Clown posted:The whole Nick Nolte sideplot is even more silly in that context. Mando has a spaceship and a target tracker, he needs neither a mount nor a guide. The only info we got from it are "this base of kidnappers are bad people" and "your ancestors rode blurg monsters and therefore so can you". It probably fits some cowboy trope but it feels more like a celebrity Star Wars fan asked for a cameo in the new Star Wars project. "The way is impossible to pass without a blurg mount." walks back on foot just fine They could've at least given it some throwaway line like they have a sensor tower or something and will see your ship. But

Goreld posted:It’s possible they downplay the fights right now so that when Gina Carano shows up and inevitably beats the living poo poo out of everyone it has more impact. Literally. It's not that he's a bad fighter, it's that all the fight scenes cut away really fast. It's the editing(maybe caused by bad choreography) and it's really jarring and just looks bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P75XwOm2JWw Not as extreme as this example, but it's the same idea.

NowonSA posted:I also thought this added a lot of character to the Jawa culture. I already knew they were weird little space dwarves, but them valuing trade to the point that they don't really take offense at some of their tribe being straight up dusted, and are willing to do business with the Mandalorian, is an interesting wrinkle to me. They were even willing to work with him after he tried to flamethrower one of them in the face.

Hakkesshu posted:I like this show so far, but I really wish they would have more confidence in it being able to stand on its own two feet instead of having basically everything be "it's that thing from the movies but with a slight twist!" and hell they don't even do the twist half the time. See also: the landspeeder in the first episode on the ice loving planet. Because of course you want to ride in the open air when it's freezing outside. It's fine that it's basically TFA / nostalgia themepark right now, but maybe they will try to tread some new ground sometime later in the season or even in season 2.

Mandalorian things to do list:
Noirex posted:The lady blacksmith talks nearly as much as the hero and she's clearly very skilled and in a position of power and reverence by the rest of the male Mandos. I like that she wasn't in some dumb boob plate armor or anything remotely sexy. She's just a badass character who happens to be a woman. Did Anita even watch the eps fully? Plus Deborah Chow being not only a woman but also a woman of color directing the last ep. She's also completely unfazed by the little scuffle in front of her. "Must be Tuesday again."

It's crazy how many bounty hunters want to kill Yooda instead of just capturing him for a bigger bounty. I want more of them to at least try to take him alive first.

It's a real shame the bounty hunter in the opening didn't have plot  Jerkface posted:I don't get this complaint. What do we think the "point" of the series is that we need an episode to fill us in on? If we look at it the plot momentum right now is around the Mandalorian loving with the bounty hunter guild & stealing baby yoda. This episode continues the threat that people are tracking BY & Mando, we get confirmation that word is out on him shooting up the BHer guild on his old planet, and we are introduced to a new potential threat. We see the attrition that running from all these BHers is going to take. AND its a fun western bounty hunt. I mean that information in your spoiler text could've been told last episode too. Maybe he overhears a conversation in the bar about how someone shot up the bounty guild. Frankenstyle posted:It wasn't terrible or anything, but if you're only doing eight episodes and most of them are just 30 minutes you need to spend your time a lot more wisely than that.  e: the fight choreography and editing is still terrible.

teagone posted:To give some examples of "good" fanservice from this show, I thought the Jawas in the second episode were great. They were integral to the plot and enabled some of the cooler action setpieces the show has had. Same for the AT-ST last episode. That's fanservice done right imo. See, I'd say that's bad fan service. They were just there because it was a desert planet, not because it made any sense. Unless you just want to assume that Jawas are native to every desert planet in Star Wars.

Daric posted:I like how all of these things which were perceived as not super dangerous after the OT are now seen as excessively so. The single AT-ST fighting the villagers was terrifying even though we've already seen several of them get destroyed by teddy bears and logs. And now, if this guy has a single Star Destroyer, that would be a big deal even though we've already seen 3-4 of them a time in all of the OT movies and we know there's dozens out in the ST movies. At least one thing is consistent: Regular stormtroopers are still a joke

lol the people hoping he never takes his helmet off and there would never be any jedi stuff in the show. If Moff "War Crimes" Gideon wants the baby so bad, why is he filling the building full of holes / fire? NowonSA posted:Ming-Na's too cool to use just for one episode if you ask me. Gutshot by a random wannabe bounty hunter? Not good enough for me, seems more sensible that one of her allies found her and will heal her up. She was lying there in the same spot, not having moved the whole day. She's dead. If they bring her back, it will only be second only to House of Cards in terms of copouts where they brought back Doug Stamper despite him having his head bashed in and lying motionless with his eyes open in the forest for the whole night.

Mandrel posted:There were only like at most a thousand (probably a lot less) Jedi at their peak, in a galaxy of thousands of worlds in and outside of the Republic. We’re led to believe by Mace and other’s comments that their position in the Republic was somewhat more diplomatic and hands-off pre Clone Wars. I’d liken them to like, court sorcerers in medieval fantasy or spiritual advisors or whatever. Peacekeepers brought in at most to mediate huge problems (like a rogue Trade Federation blockading a major core world). Then again, the Republic Clone army was like 5 million troopers and that is apparently enough to fight a galaxy wide war. I doubt you could even take a single planet with 5 million troopers. Star Wars is bad at numbers.

thrawn527 posted:It just occurred to me that we still haven't even found out what the bad guys want Baby Yoda for. He wants baby yoda, presumably alive because the bounty would have paid way more that way. But then he opens fire on the building where he thinks the baby is then tries to burn / smoke them out.  So I guess his motivation is yes.

Everyone posted:BTW, the point of Gideon threatening them at the start and being fine spraying the bar with blaster fire is that while he didn't know where the baby was, he could be 95% certain it wasn't in the bar, because he knows these people well enough (through their detailed ISB files, at least) to know that none of them would be dumb enough to bring the baby with them to meet The Client. However, he doesn't want to immediately kill our heroes, because he knows that they at least know where the baby is. He's willing to kill them, because he figures he can find the baby eventually, but it's be much simpler if they turned the kid over to him or tell him where it is. He might now even be lying about letting them go, because gently caress them once he's got the kid at that point. And if they come to his turf to try a rescue, he'll just kill them then. It's arrogance on Gideon's part, which is a common Imperial fault, but his arrogance isn't unjustified. That's quite a leap to make. I guess he also knew they had plot armor from their ISB files and that none of them would die when he fired on the building the first time? The way he talked about it, he definitely assumed the baby was in there with them. And then he tried to burn the building and everyone inside it after IG 11 went inside with Yooda. And finally tried to vaporize all of them with his tie fighter. Does he want the baby alive or as a pile of ash?

You know I just remembered in ep4, he took off his helmet to eat. While seated in front of an open window. While watching all the kids play with Yooda. Good thing no one looked in his general direction. He should've just told everyone to look away while he took off his helmet and gave himself some first aid spray. Dems da rules!

Joke Miriam posted:Did anyone manage to piece together who hired IG-11 and that one sniper to to KILL Baby Yoda? It wasn't Gus or Herzog. Herzog doesn't care one way or another. Also he absolutely gave out the bounty to everyone through Carl Weathers. Gideon doesn't seem to care either. See: him murdering Herzog by firing through the building while Yooda was inside, him threatening to open fire with that heavy repeater, him trying to burn them out and finally him firing on them with his Tie Fighter. I'm beginning to think only that scientist cared about not killing Yooda.
