Not all of it is perfectly consistent with what we saw in the cartoons, sure. But she looked fucking rad, the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that folks ITT have no idea what it means to "mo-cap" a physical performance for live action. So much easier to do mo-cap performance for animation than the otherway around. Not worth the time, effort or expense when it is done solely for the reason pleasing nitpicking "fans" who, let's be honest, will NEVER BE PLEASED. The action in this episode was fine and Dawson did a great job as the character (an older version of the character, right?) I really hope we see more of her. The show itself is doing such a good job of expanding the Star Wars mythos in ways the recent movies just weren't able to do, I hope Disney takes a break from actual theatrical releases and focus more on high production value series like this. LIVE ACTION series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputator Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 We are now at what they call "the ordeal" of the hero's journey. This is the lowest point of the protagonist's story, necessary for making the climax all the sweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well that was awesome! Sooo the Dark Troopers are Robots? Based on their need of baby Yoda I assumed they were going to be like special forces that could use the force a bit. Like Inquisitors but more on the soldier side than sith side.

Chris- Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Man I was kind of bummed that they were bringing Boba back and I really wanted him to be a little bitch, but that fucking owned so hard. Filoni and Favreau rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Also, another example of the show leaning on the films and cleaning them up: the way they handled any questions about how Jango/Boba fit the new cannon surrounding Mandalorian culture was so deftly done (I bet Pablo Hidalgo is a big reason why).

cusideabelincoln Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 So speculation... Spoiler The Jedi that Asohka sent them towards is going to be Ezra, yeah?

It could only be him. Otherwise you'd have to try and make Luke look 30, which involves technology that's probably too expensive for a single episode or two, and a bigger surprise like Mace Windu is just too farfetched. Someone also suggested the guy from Fallen Order, which I have not played and know nothing about. But I think that would be a lot less exciting for a lot of people.

Filloni in an interview alluded to Mandalorian and the end of Rebels not being in chronological order. This would imply that Mandalorian takes place before that final scene in Rebels where Ashoka goes off to find Ezra. so while not impossible, I’d say it is improbable. Unless maybe it is Grogu that sets Ashoka on a path to finding Ezra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I’d guess that given that Mandolorian is just about 10 years after Rebels...Ashoka is back, Thrawn has been mentioned, AND we saw those whale things as a kind of nod...Ezra makes a lot of sense. But I agree that the kid will stay with Mando and any Jedi will be a cameo. I don’t think we see Grogu going down the full Jedi path. Seeing Cal would also be very cool and lend even more legitimacy to the that story being part of the Canon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
