The Mandalorian (TV series)

First, it's IG-11 not IG-88.
Second, Vader says "These facilities are crude but adequate to freez captain Solo." Carbon freezing was used for high profile bounties. Cloud City was not set up for "human" freezing which was the danger.

If so it was simply revisionist history. There was no differentiation of freezing in ESB. I know it's common in SWTOR though.
 
I wish...
A) GL hadn't killed off Boba Fett as a bit of lame comic relief in ROTJ.

B) This had come out before the new DSW trilogy got started.
Unfortunately as cool as it LOOKS, I didn't feel any excitement when I watched it.
 
My point with carbonite is that everything post original trilogy acts like everything that happened in the originals, every line, has deep rooted history or sets up future events...

Obi grabs a training remote from the falcon and a blast shield, and now it’s part of every Jedi training.

Yoda says Luke is too old, so now Jedis are trained in the crib

Vader wants to trick Luke into landos freezer, lando thinks it will kill him. Vader wants to test it on Han...

Now it’s the way it’s always been done.

Saying “oh it’s always been that way!” takes away from the coolness of dealing rebels on the fly.

I don’t care if they worked it out in cartoons. It kills the craziness that Vader was just straight up using what’s on hand.

I assume in a future movie they’ll reveal Taun-tauns are bred to be made into sleeping bags... there’s a whole underworld of taun-taun fur dealers.

*side note... weird side note... I’m typing this on my phone and autocorrect keeps changing “yoda” to “gods” and “jedis” to “*****” but “Vader” to “Jan”...

Sorry, Jan. My phone doesn’t think much of you.
 
The shield and orb, yeah, i agree. Lame to bring them back. I always wondered why there was a training remote on the falcon in the first place. Nothing implied ben brought it in his carry on bag or anything, though that would make sense.

The training as kids, sorry, but that works just fine. Luke was too old at 17-18, ergo, the age had to be a good deal lower. If your going to train people in a monastic style so to speak, grabbing them as kids works out best quite frankly.

The carbonizing i agree with you. If they wanted to get the point across in ESB that that specific one wasn't meant for humans, they'd have done that. the line was you can't put him in there it might kill him. It was not this system isn't one meant for humans (beings, or whatever), it might kill him.
 
I always got the impression that the training remote was used for any given thing. Han could set it to chase him through the ship, hit it with stun shots. any old thing. Likely had different modes to try and help with melee or ranged. Figured that's why it's on the ship. It's like an old stationary bike Han or Lando bought, and then left in a closet someplace.
 
There’s a very good reason he’s using carbonite. It’s not an SOP in the Bounty Hunter Guild.
 
It's this kind of material that gives me hope for the future of the franchise. We need more stuff like R1 and The Mandalorian.
Exactly. The costuming and filming in this series looks like it'll be much closer to the originals and R1 than all the CGI from Episodes I, II, and III. It also doesn't look as sugar coated and PC as Episodes VII, VII, and that God-awful Solo movie.

Plus, Jon Favreau is directing it. He did a great job on Iron Man and Jungle Book, so I have a lot more faith in him that I do in JJ.

Well, if by directing you mean "steering the ship..."

He's the creator and main writer (as well as one of the executive producers), but he hasn't directed a single episode. There are five listed directors, including Taika Waititi for one episode, which is intriguing.
