The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

[Set Harth]

Yep, still zero!

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Not to mention reusing the damn BOP explosion from the previous movie!

Does anybody have a count on how many times they reused that shot in DS9 and other places?

I swear I've seen that shot countless times to save money.

 

[Set Harth]

I had no idea they reused it more than once!

The people who were quick to cry "boycott Disney" now look even more foolish give.n that Kimmel's"indefinite" hiatus lasted all of 5 days, but that's what a knee-jerk reaction will do.

Boycott Disney I've heard about for twelve to fifteen years. This is not new.

Someone needs to stop Grogu from his excessive rudeness (which resulted in the deaths of several viable fetuses), not to mention stop Favreau from leaning on the exceedingly tired "ha ha, Grogu likes to eat" joke every thirty seconds.

They were not fetuses but eggs. She needed her mate to fertilize them. Jumping in hyperspace would have rendered the eggs unable to be fertilized.

Yes. Certainly Frank Oz got the credit he was due as Yoda.

"As himself." Hmm. When James Caan appeared in an episode of Get Smart, as the nefarious Rupert of Rathskeller, he chose a billing as "Rupert of Rathskeller As Himself," not wanting a TV credit to get in the way of feature film roles.

When it comes to the Grogu as himself credit, I'm sure that's just a joke for the poster and the actual credits of the final movie will include everybody.

A joke going back to the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Hoojib make an onscreen appearance.

Would be nice to see instead of the stupid snake alien or whatever from Jabba's palace.

Viable eggs that she fully intended to have fertilized.

Boycott Disney I've heard about for twelve to fifteen years. This is not new.

It's entirely new since the vast majority of those "boycott calls" were from right wingers who objected to Disney being nominally inclusive.

They were also entirely ineffective and this one wasn't.

So, yeah, pretty "new."

 

[fireproof78]

Viable eggs that she fully intended to have fertilized.

Still not a fetus.


I'm not saying Grogu was right, nor do I find handy episode especially enjoyable, between the stupid name of "Frog" and ice spiders. But, eggs are not the same as fetuses.

I don't see the difference beyond who is administering the boycott. I've been told to boycott stuff since college so it doesn't strike as me something terribly significant.

Mileage will vary.

You don't think hoojibs would look goofy in live action?

The intent is the same and that's what matters.

 

[Garak]

So you're cool with the authoritarians using governmental power to silence speech, then? Interesting take!

Sir this is a Mandalorian and Grogu movie thread

No goofier than what we got.

The intent is the same and that's what matters.

It's not a fetus regardless of intent. Words matter too.

I'm done with that chat!

Jaxxon or bust.

 

[Christopher]

Jaxxon or bust.

Didn't they already recanonize Jaxxon in the comics?

It got re-used once. In Generations.
But the interior shot of a Klingon running and splodin' in Generations was in turn re-used too, in an ep of DS9.

 

[FredH]

Didn't they already recanonize Jaxxon in the comics?

They did, and also made him a bit more unpleasant than classic Marvel Jaxxon. Haven’t seen him on screen yet, though.

(They also brought back Valance and Crimson Jack in the comics, and likewise in both cases I much prefer the original iterations.)

The exploding BoP from TUC was only reused in Generations, nowhere else.

I think some of the interior shots of Klingons being knocked around by explosions (including the one played backwards so it looked like he was being sucked out toward a hull breach) appeared in DS9.

That one, I think was reused in Sacrifice of Angels, and then again in WYLB, given that battle has a lot of recycled shots from Sacrifice of Angels.
