Mercury33 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Man I LOVED that episode. Everything about it was so interesting. It was Star Wars and yet it wasn’t. The music certainly wasn’t Star Wars but it might be my favorite television score of the year. Can’t wait for Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Even though the episode was "only" 40 minutes long, nothing about it felt "rushed" at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person has not watched a lot of TV and must not have any streaming services... or Cable. As good and high produced as The Mandalorian is, it's scope (so far) still seems smaller than the Expanse to me. I'm sure that will change as we only have one episode to judge vs 3 seasons, but yeah.

Watchmen's might be better, but this certainly gives it a run for its money. Really enjoyed the episode - didn't feel like only 40 minutes (in a good way). Subtitles really helped this episode. Weird we have a third Mandalorian similar to Jango Fett and Boba Fett that isn't either of them, and weird to see a new IG droid that isn't IG-88, but at least we're expanding the universe, sort of. And I hope people realize that that baby is just a baby of that species and not actually that person themselves (though cloning seems heavily involved here given the insignia of the people guarding the baby are those of the cloners from Planet Kamino from Episode II - Attack of the Clones - same with the scientist that was with Werner Herzog). This is far more like the OT and Rogue One than it is Solo, which I appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firewithin Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 so clearly Werner Herzog is the new mvp of the entire SW universe correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 People seem really high on it, and I did like it, but I felt like it could have been more. Through at least the first half it felt like a fan project made by industry professionals, if that makes sense. the GC ranged In quality. Some good. Other times it looked very cheap, like maybe the interns at ILM were given the scenes, and not their seasoned talent. If there was one thing I disliked the most, it was the carbonite freezer in the ship used on all his bounties. In EP V the impression I got was they were having to rig the machine to do something it wasn’t meant to do. A few years later the practice is common? And then there is holding him in place...that doesn’t carbonite his own hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iger is committing whatever it takes to keep the production values as close to parity with the theatrical siblings as possible. I enjoyed the first episode. But it still felt "TV-Quality" to me. Do you still think it will be comparable in production values to a Star Wars movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm not only anxious for Bill Burr to appear But also, there was a character in the background of the bar that resembled slightly, Embo from Clone Wars which made me start to wonder, he was never canonically killed off so...give me Embo if we don't get Fett!!

They are positive but then there's the other side, some group calling themselves "The Fandom Menace" that's trashing the first episode because they have to keep the angry narrative that Disney has ruined their lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdeaOfEvil Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Episode 2 was much better than episode 1. The music still feels generic, but that was about the only issue I had. This baby thing definitely has my interest, especially with this episode showing a bit more about it =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69los Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Pretty big reveal or confirmation about the baby's species. I think this is only the 3rd of its kind in canon and I'm not sure if anything previously said Spoiler they were natural with the force. No training I assume. Not sure if we should be tagging but just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I hope that instead of a clone, they are simply wanting to clone a member of the species or something. Or get eternal youth from the DNA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Honestly I don’t have a problem with it being a clone, if that’s what it is. It’s not the most interesting thing they could do but given who seems to be after the asset... it would be on brand, at least. And they could potentially do some subversive stuff with that, if they choose to walk down that road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just finished episode 2. Holy hell. This show is legit good. I thought I was going to like it because it plays in my favorite sandbox. But I like it for so much more than that too and I'm happy about that. The way it is shot is beautifully done. The score is fantastic and feels on point but at the same time not Star Wars-y. And all the characters just feel so authentic and real. I hope the show can stay at this level. All the jawa stuff was amazing and hilarious too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't know why I thought this but I had been under the impression that they would all be essentially what would equate to an hour long program (so think 45 minutes then?) I'm not disappointed by the quality at all and I love how there are already SO many questions I'm asking myself about where it can all go from here, so that's exciting!

I don’t think they have any standard length, but I’ve heard from one of my Disney guys that episode 2 is among the shorter and there is likely one episode longer than episode 1.

Baby becomes so strong in force that it decides to use to force to travel back in time to warm the Jedi about order 66 and the impending empire. Unbeknown to Yoda the cost of time travel is the loss of all your memories and he has no idea he time traveled. He goes back in time roughly 900 years and following the Destiny we’ve already been witness to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where they're going with futuristic western vibe. There's just enough hints of Sergio Leone in there that you can get spaghetti western vibes from it. I'm also starting to get some Lone Wolf and Cub vibes from this... curious to see if that's where they're going. Also i'm pretty sure we know what the best selling toy this Christmas will be.

Greatoneshere Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's a clone guys. Pershing and the guys guarding baby Yoda have planet Kamino cloning company insiginias. I mean, it's related to cloning, c'mon now. Lame, but I'll take it since the show is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Also based on what we see in Episode II, the Kaminoans just give the Jedi an army with no down payment and deliver it ten years later, no questions asked, to someone other than the person who ordered it after showing up unexpectedly, just dressed in the same clothes. A little blood sample from Yoda seems like a fair price for 2M+ clones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
