Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)

I love Binge Mode so much, but I've been a fan of Jason for years.

I really liked that HBO show they had briefly after Game of Thrones. I’ve never really listened to any binge mode podcasts because I’m never watching the same thing they’re recapping at the same time. Great stuff though. I’ll probably follow along for this show.

You ever watch Jason's NBA Desktop show?

Can we please talk about the second episode?

Im watching it maybe tonight because its been available for a few hours and LIFE MAN.

I’m home with a sick baby while my wife goes in for her postpartum checkup. I promised to wait for her to watch it. So I’m doing a refresher with The Mandalore Plot instead.

I’m not really an NBA fan.

Now that Ruddo is canon all he wants to do is talk SW.

That was a fantastic episode. It couldn’t have been more Star Wars. Original trilogy elements and clone wars / rebels elements up the yazoo

Did anyone catch that direct nod to that shot Indy?

Just brilliant. And the music was way way better this time.

This time? I thought the music in Ep1 was perfect.

Also, what’s the deal with Mando’s droid hate?

It’s a robot trying to take his pay check?

Well that. But also the scene where he turns down an Uber with a droid in it then request that the whistleblower hail a new one without a droid.

I caught a Mandalorian muttering “droids” with an audible annoyance during a scene with R2D2 on this episode of Clone Wars (Voyage of Temptation) that I’m watching right now. These dudes DEFINITELY hate droids.

[dimejinky99]

Battle droids massacres many on mandalore. We see him and his mom escape from a battle droid in one of the trailers.

So it’s a hatred with a basis

[tragabigzanda]

Star Wars sucks now

So...not time to start a “Things Mandalorians have an irrational hatred of” thread just yet.

[dimejinky99]

Isn’t that big beasty one of the ones in attack of the clones in the collessium?

[washing machine]

Big beasty?

Also dime, can you expound on "Mandalore" vs bounty hunters? Is that a planet and everyone from there is a Mandalorian? Is there any direct connection between Mandalore and the job of a bounty hunter? I remember the prequels dug a little bit into bounty hunter lore, but I've tried my best to block those movies out.

Wookiepedia is you friend. The mandos have not been my study at all and up to now have been one of my least favorite elements in Star Wars.

Ruddo or durds or strat might be better able to help you here.

Is that a planet and everyone from there is a Mandalorian?

Yes

Is there any direct connection between Mandalore and the job of a bounty hunter?

Not at all. Other than Fett being a bounty hunter and wearing Mandalorian armor. I think it's pretty much assumed at this point that Fett wasn't Mandalorian, but I don't remember seeing anything saying he wasn't. Jango could've been from Mandalore quite easily.

Star Wars sucks now

Can we maintain a spoiler policy for a day or two after each episode please?

OK, but I only spoiled the existence of Baby Yoda, which was 3 days ago.
