Spoilers The Mandalorian | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12

[Jaster]

These things in Mandalorian could lift a grown adult human and fly off. Those mynocks from ESB were not that big.

Could be a variation from a the same species perhaps. Or maybe the mynocks we saw in ESB were younglings that are hatched/born/spawned in space and later make it down to planets.

Feels like I’m reaching, but I’ve read stranger life cycles in SW material.

 

[Tosk]

Or maybe they're just completely different species.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah, there can be more than one type of winged creature in Star Wars. It's a big galaxy after all.

 

[11Alive]

Mynocks were the things that attacked the crew of the Millenium Falcon inside the asteroid in The Empire Strikes Back.

The things in the Mandalorian Episode 7 were NOT Mynocks.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Somebody made a bad assumption and put it in the episode summary. Can somebody edit that out? Wikipedia blocks me from editing since I'm on a VPN.

This is Star Wars though which never met a callback it didn't like.

My favorite flying creature appearance in a a Star Wars story:

Anyway, I'm not an idiot.
Artoo!
Am not!

 

[Reverend]

Wasn't there actually something like those creatures in one of the old Ewok tv movies? Possibly the same one the Blurrg originally showed up in? It's been a few decades so my memory is a little fuzzy, but if I'm right, if those things are a continuity pull from anything it'd be that. I mean, they already used the Blurrgs, so why not?

 

[JD]

The Blurrgs were also in The Clone Wars, so I had assumed their use in The Mandalorian was more of a reference to TCW rather than the Ewok movie.

 

[Trekker4747]

I've not watched the show yet, but intrigued by the good things I've seen. But, damn, I don't want to be on another subscription service.

Anyway the RLM guys watched it and liked it..

I like the smaller-scale quest/road movie feel of this show. I wish the Sequel Trilogy had felt more like this instead of cramming in tons of overwhelming epic action on a humongous scale.

[JD]

The problem with that is blockbuster movies are pretty much required to have overwhelming epic action on a humongous scale.

 

[fireproof78]

I thought the sequels did fine.

At last I found someone who is not a big fan of Mandalorian!

Well, I didn't realize how much words could hurt until it was my turn...

Adam Pally, who played one of the bike scouts from the beginning of the season finale has done a short interview with Entertainment Weekly where he talks a little about The Mandalorian.
Apparently the Baby Yoda puppet that he punched was the hero puppet worth $5million, and after he found that out he was so nervous he missed hitting the next three takes.
He's a huge Star Wars and got the job because he's good friends with Jon Favreau.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I don't get why it would be the hero puppet since you don't even see him in the scenes where he hits it.

 

[kitik]

They may have shot some takes where you actually can see The Child, and wisely decided to use the version where you can't see him instead.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I was wondering about that. "Sir, the good news is Disney+ is a financial success, the bad news is that the fans have burned down the studios."

 

[JD]

I don't get why it would be the hero puppet since you don't even see him in the scenes where he hits it.

I thought he had him outside of the bag one of the times he hit him?
