The Mandalorian (TV series)

Ok as for Jangos helmet, Mace noted that it was a decoy since he felt Boba would not destroy his fathers helmet. This was he told Anikin in that episode.

As for the Slave 1, Ahsoka cut the stabilizer off and it crashed. In a comic book, Hondo repaired it and gave it a fresh green paint job and used it for a time before Boba came to claim it. Hondo gave it back since it was Bobas'.

Are you sure about that? I just scanned that ep (“R2 Come Home”) and I didn’t catch him saying anything to that effect. He told Anakin that the helmet “belongs to a bounty hunter I killed on Geonosis, by the name of Jango Fett,” and that Boba was his son and had watched as Mace killed him. That was the end of the helmet discussion.

I think EFX can release a new helmetversion now...the triangle visor version...

Who the hell has attached this visor?

^yeah, his helmet this episode was WHACK! Between the missed paintup and this visor... they must have just grabbed a stunt bucket and threw it on

Quite uncharacteristic for a prop forum member I know but so far I haven't paid a lot of attention or did research on the props and costumes of this show...what was so off in this episode?

You're not alone. I've barely paid attention to the props and costumes in this show too.

On the pic that I´ve posted:

The sides on the bottom of the visor are a lot too close together.It look like a triangle visor.That is not accurate.

yea, the helmet was pretty dorked up. little continuity errors like that every now and then don't bug me at all though. If there was something where a helmet switched back and forth over a season or something, it'd make me wonder what was going on on set. but heaven forbid a stunt prop make it into a hero shot one day? "oh no"

But the process of filming a prop/costume/makeup heavy show like mandalorian is an art of constant problem solving. all that crap is breaking and being wrong for the scene, and getting touched up on the fly, constantly. sometimes less than perfect happens.

I meant he was possibly an Imperial or even a Stormtrooper, not just doing bounties for them.

That seems highly unlikely since he was found and taken in by Death Watch at a fairly early age, much too young to have spent any time in the Imperial Forces. And unless Death Watch are like Quakers where at a certain age their members can go out into the outside world to see what it's like and whether the Quaker life (Mando life in this case) is truly for them, there's no way that Mando could have served in the Empire. It is strongly implied that he grew up with Death Watch and spent his entire life since the day that he was taken in to the very first episode of the series living The Way.

The ears were painted differently (no highlight on the upper pieces or the wedge on the lower ears, and the back vent wasn't highlighted either. Also the T visor area was "pinched in" at the bottom, instead of being completely vertical and parallel as per usual.

I think you can build and paint your helmet like you want and will find it later in one episode of the show.

The helmet changes a lot if you havent been paying attention. There are a lot of shots where the visor is too narrow, and the rubber stunt the use a lot has a suuuuper wide visor. During the first Cara Dune fight Mando gets hit in the helmet and you can see the whole thing bend.

Yes...thats great for the the Hasbro helmet that comes next year...the wider visor is no problem now.Its accurate.

The size is another thing...but hey...perhaps in the next episodes the use a bigger helmet on a smaller stuntmen...so who knows?

Had a crazy weekend and just now saw the latest and OMG that was sooooo good!!! I raised my hands over my head several times but had to keep quiet since I'm at work/lunch.

That's a "belowdecks" interior portion. Later in the episode, you see Boba laying flat on his back in the pilot seat while the ship is grounded. I was quietly pleased they made sure the cockpit is fixed. I kinda like they gave that "lounge" the place of the old "lower crew seats" from the filming miniature. I'm still mildly annoyed they got the cockpit console wrong. In the last episode and this one, it's in its AOTC configuration, rather than its ESB configuration.

I like more and more the implication that style of Imperial helmet is ISB. Makes me wonder about the Shoretroopers, as well. We know the Deathtroopers are. But in Rogue One, the ISB -- under Krennic -- were scrounging kyber crystals on Jeddha. They seemed to be running the data facility on Scarif, too. And I feel like, if you take most of the faceplate off, you'd have a "movie style" version of Kallus' helmet from Rebels. Because, here, it was the Rogue One tank/AT-ACT driver helmet on "mudtrooper" infantry armor.

I liked the reference to Operation: Cinder. I do not like that the General said "What's your TK number." *sigh*

My favorite easter egg, though, has got to be the century tank -- aka TIE crawler -- revealed as we round the corner as Cara and Mayfield approach Slave I.

Whoa! TIE Crawler? I missed that!

I get that, but then there's zero chance he should have gotten security clearance on that Imperial computer. The only thing that makes sense is that he has clearance.

[emoji848] I thought that at some point Mace mentioned it. It may have been Faloni during one of the q&a sessions.. but I am fairly certain that it was mentioned.

 

[Strikerkc]

It wasn't checking FOR clearance, it was checking for denial. Cara wouldn't pass because she's a registered republic commando. the assassin wouldn't pass because she's wanted. fett wouldn't pass because clone.

mayfeld specifically states in the episode that the console checks databases to deny people. it doesn't check lists to approve them.

Mando never worked as a storm trooper or anything.
