Fun way to tie that back into the story. But I doubt it given that the Mando had trackers for the other people he captured earlier and I assume not all, if any, were Force sensitive -- or had midichlorian counts high enough to register (if in fact ALL lifeforms have SOME midichlorians; which is something I'm still not 100% on).tragabigzanda wrote:maybe it tracks midichloriansdimejinky99 wrote:Chris_H_2 wrote:ok guys, i have a dumb question: in episode 1 when mando (or whatever they're calling him) has the tracking device that homes in on baby yoda, how was that device able to identify and locate where he was without another device already planted on cute little baby yoda? did i miss something or just completely fail to appreciate how these things work?
Bloody good question. I don’t know.

Re: Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2020)
there's got to be something on BY considering those other guys find them after they've been walking for awhile. So whatever it is it's coded for the BY, not the location.Chris_H_2 wrote:ok guys, i have a dumb question: in episode 1 when mando (or whatever they're calling him) has the tracking device that homes in on baby yoda, how was that device able to identify and locate where he was without another device already planted on cute little baby yoda? did i miss something or just completely fail to appreciate how these things work?

Re: Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2020)
I think it's really interesting that The Mando was paid to bring BY back alive (though Herzog did give his pragmatic caveat at the end there) and the IG droid was paid to kill BY. That opens up a lot of really interesting questions.

Definitely two factions looking for BY, yeah.
It's weird that TW voiced the IG because that was a big push for the marketing team and he's dead in one?

Sooooo.....if Lucasfilm had fired Rian, would they still be allowing him to hang around on set?

Ruddo nails it
The client has some sort of tracking number for the asset but only the last five digits.
That's what they called it, right? A puck?

I can see all the design language and follow through links.
