The Mandalorian (TV series)

[firesprite]

The reason I tend to think Jedi is to connect it to the moment he saw baby yoda use the force. You could tell that this moment meant something to him

Or it could just be that the child helped him when he didn't have to, and that isn't something the Mandalorian is used to...

Oh, look... it's the vanguard of the "I hate fun" contingent...

I, for one, loved this episode. It was fantastic and gave us some nice backstory for the Mandalorian, as well as introduced Cara Dune, who is freaking awesome. I've never been a big Carano fan, but she is doing a great job here.

Also, Imma need a baby Yoda AND a giant lothcat now!

Oh look, it’s the “ignore valid criticism/difference of opinion by reducing everyone else as fun-hating babies” vanguard. I’ve been one of the folks defending the first few episodes from those saying they feel too quick, or like filler, or anything else. I really enjoyed the first few episodes. But this one felt sloppy, which makes sense because it was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, who as far as I’m aware doesn’t have any directing experience herself.

Yup, as director, they got to write the script. All your complaints fall on the director. They run the cameras to.

I don't get the problem with doing the 7 samurai set up. Believe it or not, even most Star wars fans haven't seen that movie. Us forum going ultra nerds, are actually the minority.

It was a fun episode, with a lot of good backstory in it, great character interactions, and a giant robot fight. I got nothing to complain about.

Baby Yoda sipping bone broth killed me.

 

[Edraven99]

I came here to say Lothcat! That is all

I agree all the praise and criticism of this episode... Least favorite so far, but I still enjoyed it.

Might want to consult IMDB. I mean, she's never directed a big budget feature length film, but she has 7 other directing credits.

Gina Carano

Yea, makes sense. I think right now I probably rank them 2, 3, 1, 4.

 

[Halliwax]

Pretty sure season 2 is already in production? He better get after it.

Honestly, the episodes he directed on Breaking Bad were well done.

Just don't let him near the writing...

Holy crap I didn’t know he directed some episodes of breaking bad!!

 

[Halliwax]

I want to know why baby Yoda hasn't been given a name yet. They said they were at that little village for a few weeks. Are you telling me in all that time none of those children asked it's name? Even if Mando had said "he has no name" the kids would've given it one, in some form or another. Kids always name stuff. Whatever they called it, that's what we should be calling it now.

Also, after seeing this episode I'm willing to bet that that in the last episode of this season we will finally see Mando's face. To go even further, I will bet it is the last shot in the last episode.

Yeah they were calling him gizmo

Yes!!! Loved it!! And the red eyed walker!!

At first I thought they were on endor and that alien race was the same race from caravan of garbage!

 

[Jaitea]

Holy crap I didn’t know he (Rian Johnston) directed some episodes of breaking bad!!

'Fly'

Loved this Episode,.....The A-Team

Also "51" and "Ozymandias". Three in total I think.

O.......kay. Seems kinda moot now though, doesn't it?

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

Was a great episode! But as always the nitpicks and downers will always try to spoil it for everyone..... At times it seems some are even mad that this series is been enjoyed by the VAST majority of fans. Disney did something right> How can that be!? LOL!

Was the AT-ST self driving? I didn’t see any indications of a pilot within the cabin.

No crew visible.

 

[Mr Webber]

Still enjoying this but its starting to drift down the path of predictability. True that the younglings have probably never seen The Seven Samurai or Magnificent Seven or old westerns on TV but Mr Favreau has to take his older audience into consideration. Just a small point of concern so theres no need to call the fun police or invoke the spirit of the grinch or anything.

 

[gizmo]

Really enjoyed this episode. Nitpick it all you want, but it was fun and for me, had some really important character development. This is the first show in ages that has me excited for Fridays. I'm actually glad they are doing it weekly and not binge watchable.
