Mandalorian Season 3

Am I the only one? I twinge a little when they use earth terms sometimes.. spelunking? Call it something more Star Wars-ey. Andor used a few terms that just brought me out of it now and then too.
He didn’t use that actual word. He said it in Mandonese. The galactic translator used the word spelunking so that we would understand.
 
So, Peli is no longer a tough-talking, brutally honest mechanic, but rather a full-on thief and a fraudster?

Was that scene supposed to endear her to us?

I love Amy Sedaris, but her talents are being completely wasted on this character.

Also, being “built for adventure” does not make an astromech any better for spleunking. A droid that rolls (and with no booster jets like Artoo) being brought to reconnoiter a bombed-out city that is nothing but huge gaps and jagged rubble?

Din is not an idiot. Was the point that he bought the droid out of pity because he could tell Peli was desperate?

I did love seeing R5 get a chance to shine, all the same.
I never really liked the way her character is portrayed in the series. Humor is Meh at best. I think they should cut the "jokes" to a minimum!
Guess I was spoiled by "Andor":p

it's a nit to be sure, but cavern exploration would have worked too, and I wouldn't have thought about weekend hobbyist spelunking about on youtube. LOL
 
I was waiting to see the organic eyeball creature come out of the head and be some little dude.. guess its just an eyeball?

My thought at the time is she is taking a huge risk invovling herself in ripping of potentially very bad types that could come back to mess her up. Maybe that is going to be a thing later.
 
2) If Mandalorian helmets can seal and pressurize, how do they breathe? They don't seem to carry air tanks with them and even if their jetpacks also double as O2 tanks, there are no hoses that connect them to their helmets.
We‘ve already seen that in the Star Wars universe you only need a tiny apparatus to breathe under water. This small device could be tucked anywhere, even in Mando’s helmet.

Me, neither. I get that the characters have to be drawn broadly to appeal to the kids, but Peli is broad to the point of annoying caricature.

“Andor” really did spoil us.

Funny how we each took something different from that scene.

My read was that it was just supposed to be funny how she played that jerky Rodian by stealing his parts and then selling them back to him at an inflated fee. Like, what Favs was shooting for was for us to just chuckle and say, “Ohhh, that’s our Peli! Such a rascal!

Maybe I’m just getting old, but just because somebody is an *******, that doesn’t make it funny or charming to steal from them.

The thing I really didn't get was that Din flew all the way to Tatooine to ask if she had a part. Like, I'd have sent an email first.

Yeah, it’s like what a few people said earlier - these first two eps are playing out like a medieval MMO.

Quest to this person to get Item A. Then quest to this person to get Item B. Then a surprise attack when you try to pick up Item C from the person after that….
 
Major negativity coming

I am sorry but this sucks.

IG-11, who I loved, was blown to smithereens.

He really needs a droid to test air? When he goes around the world in a "Spaceship. ' Kind of like AC. You really need it in Arizona.

Yeah, his suit can seal, but can't test air.

No one ever since the bombing swung by to see if the planet is livable

He sank quicker than she went down using her jetpack when she went into the water a few seconds after him.

No Gina,... FU$& Disney

Two episodes wasted, having done nothing.

Yeah, another big CGI animal for someone to ride.

Picking apart a 40 year old movie you have seen 100 times is one thing. But this crap seams like it was written by children who do not care. It's obvious flaws are noticeable as it's being viewed the 1st time.

We are all like abused spouses hoping this time will be different and then super happy we only get hit a few times.

I liked this show, despite a lot of questionable things, but this is hot garbage. Ready to sell all my Mando crap and move on from Star Wars.

Nothing good since 83

I warned you.

Just my humble, but always correct opinion.








Same to you!! (y) :lol: :love:
 
I thought that the cyborg was . . . interesting. Did anybody else get Lost in Space Robot vibes in the way it sounded and looked?

A couple of other things that this episode had me wondering about was:

1) What capabilities do Mandalorian helmets have? Because they certainly don't have any sort of light amplification or night vision capability because we see both Din & Bo use flashlights to see in the dark. You'd think that some sort of night vision capability would be something that they'd build into these helmets, particularly considering how darkly tinted their visors are. Not to mention how tactically unsound it is to run around the dark with a flashlight that announces your presence to any opponents that may be around. In the dark, a flashlight is going to be seen by someone from much farther away than you'd be able to see with it.

2) If Mandalorian helmets can seal and pressurize, how do they breathe? They don't seem to carry air tanks with them and even if their jetpacks also double as O2 tanks, there are no hoses that connect them to their helmets. And with that pressurizing capability, why does Din need a droid to check the atmosphere for him? Can't he just go in sealed on the assumption that the atmosphere is poisonous? For that matter, why doesn't his N1 have the capability to analyze an atmosphere or why does Din not just get a hold of some sort of handheld atmospheric analyzer type device, a Star Trek equivalent to a tricorder? Sure that sort of tech must exist in the Star Wars universe.
Yeah, the flashlights always bugged me because I think it has been demonstrated the helmets have various view modes. Nightvision is a much better idea than running around with a light on your head, announcing where you are. I always imagined the visors displayed a "Terminator"-type HUD but weirdly the shows have not demonstrated this.

Kinda weird that the discussion of the helmets sealing came up last week and then we see that they actually can somehow in the latest episode. I always thought the vents (or keyslots as they are sometimes called) on the back of the helmets could be some sort of air filtration or rebreather.

Night vision would be great, until there was ANY bright light that popped up unexpectedly, then you're effectively blinded.

Infrared would be great, as long as what you're looking at was radiating heat.

Not every situation is a stealth/combat situation that requires you to be invisible. Sometimes, it's just dark & you need to see where the CRAP you're trying to go.
 
They were those spider droids in Jabba's Palace when C3PO and R2D2 enter. The monks thought that if they lose their physical bodies and have their brains carried in glass bowls by droids, it will lead to true enlightenment...I'm probably paraphrasing from what I've read about them.

TazMan2000
ah, I never knew they had their own lore.
