The Mandalorian (TV series)

So, what are everyone's opinion - is the TIE Fighter from episode 7 specially modified to land as it did (now known as the TFF - TIE Fighter Fold), or should we believe all have that capability?

Carl Weather's acting when he was a hologram was cringe-worthy.

At least he was lying and a bad actor in universe

as for the TIE with the folding wings, we’ve seen other TIEs grounded and resting on their full wings so I would say it’s likely a unique model, but it could just be a soft retcon

Until something comes out and says otherwise, I figure it's at least a particular model of tie. Can ALL of them do that? Probably not. There's probably some meant to ONLY go on racks in a carrier. But this is probably just an example of a model meant to function from a ground based airfield.

Yea, I don't know how much of that was the actor, and how much was meant to convey how bad/nervous a liar the character is. He's struck me as someone that's enjoyed his cushy "desk" job, and the ability to throw the weight of the guild around. Now that he's lost that, he's grasping at straws and flowery language. I figure MOST of it was by design. Especially when you add in the fact that he would have recorded that alone, and done 100 takes to get it good at least once.

We jumped when the "dragons" attacked. It's good this series is showing the predators that were always in the legacy books. Not the exact one, but that there are dangerous predators on all of these different worlds.

Just seen TRoS, saw chapter 7 yesterday, no relation that I'm aware of, at least not plot-wise

Spoiler: TROS/Mando relation

Yup, just what I thought then. But no relation plot-wise right? Like no reveal about the First Order or anything... I was actually looking for it the whole time lol

 

[harrisonp]

Not unless the concept of the remnant is enough of an allusion to the back story of the FO. But nothing explicit as far as I can see.

I Saw the tie comming and thought ok lets see how the guy will come out of it and the the wings changed and i thought ouhhh thats really cool, i Love it. For me it makes sense

 

[Jaitea]

The way that Kuiil was talking about his working in an Imperial establishment,....I was starting to think that perhaps he had salvaged Luke's lightsabre from Imperial run Cloud City,.....

It could still go that way, IF he is still alive

Well... I think it's that and...

Cloning. I don't think that was Palpatine as a survivor of destruction of the Death Star II. The way I interpreted it, it was an imperfectly cloned body with his consciousness.

Enough about TROS. Back to Mando. During the Kuiil/ IG-11 flashback scene, where the Microflame torch is first shown, I squeed, paused the show and looked at my girlfriend. She looked at me like something was wrong, and when I jumped off the couch and went to my prop display shelves, she thought I lost my mind. Until I came back with my Microflame torch. It took her a second, but as soon as she figured it out, she was nearly as geeked out as I was.

 

[Richard Baker]

I do not think any reveal about SW-0 was in the last episode, they just had an extended clip you could watch that popped up after the ending credits.
Good scene with the Falcon and some TIEs

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

Kuill had worked off his servitude for "three human lifetimes". I'm curious who with -- the Empire was only around for less than one.

 

[jhazard]

I thought it a bit ironic that someone who lived as an indentured servant would create a servant droid. Or not..

Not being critical - I love the show, but that struck me funny.

See, I just took it as he was teaching/raising it as a surrogate child. We were just introduced to it as it was serving tea, which was just being hospitable. I could be reading it wrong.

That never even registered with me.

 

[Kylash]

Well he worked in the "gene farms" .... Kamino? Somewhere else? who knows.
