The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Khev]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed IG-Grogu. I thought it was cool how he broke up the duel especially with that little reference to Luke's training.

The visuals of the Mando barge cruising across the planet were off the charts.

One thing I can say - thank goodness for Katee Sackhoff.

I'm more happy for the return of Koska.

Footage of Wor-Gar watching episode 7:

The first thing Wor-Gar pictures when he thinks of you and me, lol.

 

[wormlander]

That's just the character, it's how he's always been. He's not a talkative or social guy. He says what needs to be said and that's that.

I'm somewhere inbetween on this. Part of it is definitely due to less than stellar dialogue (I'm being kind here), but I also found the delivery to be somewhat stale in a couple of instances. Looking back though I'm pretty sure this was always the case

Jetpack troopers, super praetorians, helmeted Gideon, this episode had so many awesome bad guys!

Plus Hux's dad, Babu Frik, ST references galore!

Wait, they fly now?

 

[The Buffinator]

Yep this ep was absolutely a SW "kid's" (ie you and me, lol) dream. Wor-Gar will absolutely detest it, lol.

Yeah, those sexagenarians collectors are all about acting grown up now. They can be so annoying sometimes.....

Yeah, if it was me I'd have told Grogu that his going to Mandalore was too dangerous and I'd have dropped him off at his Uncle Luke's before rejoining the rest of the group. And I'd never go back for him lol...

Was there a reason that Paz

Spoiler:

didn't fly up with his jetpack and try to take any of the dozens of weapons laying around and drop the praetorian guards from above? Am I overthinking this, am I upset Paz is gone, yeah I'm upset! I'm Opie upset from Sons of Anarchy, upset.

It seemed like

Spoiler:

his minigun was drawing power from his jetpack and since everything seemed to be overheating, malfunctioning or damaged I just assumed it no longer worked.

You're not overthinking it. As cool as it seemed the whole scene was dumb. They all retreated because there were 'too many of them', yet when the door opened up he took them out all by himself. They could have stood their ground, taken out the jetpack guys and then all of them could have taken on the Praetorians.

His jetpack was damaged, it took multiple hits, hence the sparks flying out of it.

Hindsight is 20/20. It was a valid last stand in the heat of battle all things considered. Not dumb at all.

Dang, that is very, very upset, based on my memory of that SOA episode (laying pipe). That was a rough one...

W.....T.......#&^@ !!!

It seems this show has turned into a full fledged cartoon. I cannot unsee what I have now seen.



The Asian market is gonna eat this crap up. Finally they have their obsession for Iron Man given an equivalent in Star Wars. Without a doubt HT makes this. And it will be they're best selling SW figure in the Asian markets ever.

This is way worse than watching Ewoks drive a Speederbike or control an AT-ST...

Sometimes I worry about my fellow collectors and fans....No wonder people don't get our obsession with Star Wars. This is NOT helping anyone's defense.....

Well, The Ewoks never actually "drove" those machines. They fiddled with the controls and **** happened. The speederbike flew in a straight line until the 'wok' managed to sit up straight and grab a wine. The AT-ST was only started by one before Chewie overtook the controls. Suspension of disbelief is underrated.

 

[Khev]

How badass are the Praetorians if Gideon didn't say "I need all that you can spare" and instead said that he'd be good with three?

He went like a boss and a true Mandalorian. Also it's consistent with his behavior all the way back to S1, when he stood his ground to let Din get away. I'd like to think Din gets loose, finds out about it, and goes on a vengeance quest, since S1 when he felt the death of Mandalorians was something he couldn't let go. But first, obviously, there's a problem with Din going anywhere.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed IG-Grogu. I thought it was cool how he broke up the duel especially with that little reference to Luke's training.

Yeah, I'd read a spoiler and the thought of IG-Grogu I thought was cringe, but IMO it works pretty well - AND lets Grogu get weaponized at some point, without bouncing all over the place with the Force. It's a nice blending of Grogu with his former protector.

Totally agree about the barge, and can't get a Mad Max/dystopian world out of my head. That was awesome as well as the green glass and scorched skies.

And I wonder - with all the inane-ness of knighting Grogu, I wonder if that actually had a point in that Grogu has a right now to ask those Ugnaughts there for tech help or something.
