Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)

[Mecca]

I just hope they don't try to tie this back into the Skywalker Saga. Our galaxy has as many as 400 billion stars. We've seen, what?, 40-50 systems in Star Wars? Maybe it's time for something to be happening that isn't anywhere near a Skywalker.

Star Wars has never been about the Skywalkers

What IS it about Mecca?

Merchandise!

No. I’ll be at work from 8-8 then come home exhausted and hope I have 30 minutes alone for the tv to watch it. You’ll probably see it before I will.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I'll be watching as soon as I wake up, before I head out for RSD

Good luck on the hunt today Ruddo!!

You guys mind using spoiler tags until further notice?
Cheeky I know

The cameo by digital Leia has ruined the whole series.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Ok episode. Some early thoughts:

Spoiler: show

definitely lacking budget in this one. Some obvious cgi moments and the close up fighting was obvious.

Also, Loth cats!!!

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also, could be a big deal:

Spoiler: show

he said "the Mandalorians took me in" which implies he isn't one?

[E.H. Ruddock]

None of you fuckers are working today. Hurry up and watch this

[VinylGuy]

I might watch it tonight maybe. I have a shooting so maybe afterwards? If not maybe tomorrow.

After the lackluster of last ep, im not running towards it.

[dimejinky99]

Really liked the gear shift in tone here.

But

Spoiler: show

How could he possibly forget there were hunters that still were tracking the kid?? The idea of leaving him there just plain dumb

In the interest of full disclosure. I had to clean up the apartment today before heading into work. I'm at work now. I watched all but the last 8 mins of the episode. So, I haven't seen the entire thing just yet. But regarding your spoiler tag:

Spoiler: show

I think, yes. 100% This episode was a big deal in defining his backstory, I think. It's safe to say he's not a native born Madalorian. I'm not sure if I like this idea or if it feels like too much retread. We know Favreau wrote this with Boba Fett as the main character and Lucasfilm said no, made him change to a different character. Is that just a left over from the original drafts?

It also means that what we're seeing in his flashbacks likely is NOT the Siege of Mandalore. Which was kinda my feeling/suspicion all along. Which I think is cool.

But obviously this is all inference. Maybe he is a native Mandalorian, but it really seems unlikely now.

There's a lot of that kind of stuff so far that you kind of just have to suspend disbelief about and move on.

Those episodes of clone wars Anakin and obi wan teaching Saw Gerrera and his people to fight back came immediately to mind.
