Spoilers The Mandalorian | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12
- Thread starter think
- Start date
The first episode I didn't really care for.
I know the acting on this show has been a bit wonky at times (looking at you, waitress from two episodes ago) but was the whole crew told to act like overtly cartoonish cliche arseholes?
Why was the recap at the beginning a compilation of Mando kills when here he is acting like a no-kill-code Batman even though arsehole squad totally had it coming?
Is it just me or were the X-Wing pilots a bit too trigger happy (nice casting though)?
And the New Republic uses droid manned prisoner barges, I'm beginning to see how the First Order could happen, the NR just isn't that competent, that's a direction/explanation I like.

Bryce Dallas Howard revealed that she never worked with Pedro Pascal. While Pascal provided the voice of the Mandalorian, his stunt double did all of the on-camera work.

Half of the reason I like SW at all.. and always have was the CREATIVE PROCESS.. all the ways the original films pushed the envelope behind the scenes. So one aspect of The Mandalorian that I will always enjoy are the concept drawings that they show during the end credits of every episode. It's such a great way to give hints as to the hard work and creative efforts that go into each episode.
Some brilliant person just looped the main part of the theme music for 30 minutes.. Now I know this will be played every day while I work.

God, that's lame.
Great episode, really fun assortment of scum and villainy. Loved seeing the other prisoners briefly too.
Lol for the flamethrower vs the Devaronian.
But the best had to be Baby Yoda looking at his hand after Zero got shot. Classic!!!
Also, lol for Trapper Wolf and his pals.
Now that Deborah Chow is getting her own Star Wars show, can Rick Famuyiwa get one too please? I'd gladly watch another 8 episodes just like this one.
Also, besides those three X-Wing cameos, Matt Lanter got to say hello.

Not that surprised. I have admit, in situations like this I always wonder how much the actor is actually in the suit. Same goes for superheroes with full face masks, like Spider-Man and Iron Man.
It really isn't.
Why? If he doesn't need to be there, then I don't see the need for him to be there.
Maybe he was busy still getting his Lord on?
Imperial sharpshooter... BWAAHHHH!!!!
also.. Wasn't that a Grevious style fighter that was greebled up at the end?

Great episode. Loved seeing Mando being badass and the x-Wings at the end were awesome. Also I didn’t think we would get a Jar Jar reference again but here we are.
Turns out the New Republic officer they ran into on the ship, was played by Matt Lanter, who voices Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars, and Zero was voiced by the IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade. I'm a huge fan of the IT Crowed so I get an especially big kick out of knowing that Ayoade voicing Zero.
Another really simple and solid episode. Enjoyed it. Wonder how long they'll go with the "Lone Wolf and Cub" vibe for this show? 
I guess I'm in the minority this week, I thought this episode seemed kind of well, dumb. Luckily, most of the best stuff came in the last minutes. I liked the strobe shot of The Mandalorian stalking Bill Burr and that ridiculous gun arm thing, the bit with Baby Yoda "using the Force", but a lot of this seemed clumsily helmed and very "TV" in the worst sense. I like the guest cast but just wasn't feeling it. Baby Yoda must really be getting to Mando to let those clowns live after all that.
I also thought this was my least-favorite episode of the show so far. I found the guest stars grating, and the plotting slapdash and under-thought. At first I thought the guard-droids being all "shoot to kill" (and the first use of a mouse droid by the good guys, excepting the prequel era) was an intentional indication that the New Republic might not be all it's cracked up to be, but then the X-Wings just blasted apart a space station which, in all likelihood, had one of their own officers held hostage on it without so much as a "Surrender or be destroyed," and I decided the episode was just shoddy (well, I first thought it was sloppy when the guard droids had everyone but the Mandalorian pinned down easily, and then the main guy was able to plug three of them on his own without breaking a sweat, but that confirmed it).
They destroyed the gunship and then took a few shots at the station in areas away from where the tracker was.
Just like that big lame phony James Earl Jones. Never was in the Vader suit even once!
Could be, but it's not like we haven't seen good and bad guys using the same model droids before. (R4 and BB spring to mind. And was't there a Threepio-esque droid on the Death Star too?)
YOU STOP MAKING SENSE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. Please stop confusing the issue with facts. I find it...disturbing.
Well, the tracker wasn't anywhere, anymore, because they killed whoever was holding it when they blew up the gunship that was next to it.
