The Mandalorian |OT| A Complicated Profession [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]

The episode is still pretty high on IMDB, at 9.2. That's really high for an episode of a series from such a fandom-heavy franchise like Star Wars that can go from one extreme to the other, so at least the larger fandom is happy, plus critics are giving it mostly positive reviews. Overall, a really good start for the series.
This is a great start. It was more than enough to make me forget that I haven't been loving more recent Star Wars.
Shouldn't have watched it last night at 4am. Just watched it again and loved it. Pedros personality really shines through near the end. In for the entire season. Best Star Wars material I've seen outside of Vader in RO since Empire.
My first guess was Horatio Sanz, but his name wasn't in the credits.
Sounded like John C Riely to me. But looked like Patton Oswald. Lol.
Cant place him.
Somewhat related, Powell's signature snare drums on 'Corellia Chase' on the Solo score are fucking god tier.
I love how Favreau demystifies the bounty hunting profession. Instead of badass Jedi hunters like Jango Fett and Cad Bane, we get a poorly paid gig-worker wrangling bail jumpers. Vintage Star Wars is playing with fantasy cliches and dirtying them with lawless pragmatism.
I didn't really like the way the shootout scene was shot because we didn't get a single angle where it showed the mandalorian and the enemies in the same frame iirc
Felt like it was purposefully edited to keep it PG which is funny when the show starts with someone getting bisected

Horatio Sanz according to the credits.
The odd thing is that Pedro Pascal didn't do the Spanish dub. I wonder if there's some guild/union thing that prevented him from doing it.
I will say, that dude in the beginning really made a meal of every syllable of his Huttese (?) Very stilted.
Awesome! Hopefully he will be on CBB and Scott will grill him about it.
When he shoots the guy off the building you see it from right behind him.
Good pilot. Nice hook ending which you need. I felt the only effects that looked shaky were those desert creater things
my one complaint is I Really didn't like the music. Not in a "not sw" kind of way. but in I just didn't think it was good period

HOLY SHIT!!! That was amazing!
Some people can't be pleased it seems. We got a Star Wars show that is badass right off the bat. What a great standoff, IG-11 was so good in just a few minutes. The entire sequence let Mando's personality shine and we get to see some bad ass moments. It's Star Wars it's about action and adventure and this had it.
It felt right and I'm very intrigued at where this will go.

My favorite track is You are the Mandalorian the music that plays when they ride through the desert just love this music.
Yeps.
Star Wars fans are fucking awful.
At first glance, i thought it was Patton, too. 🤣
Kinda sad it wasn't, TBH.
Badass ?
It was fine. Honestly had higher hopes, but it's just episode one, so plenty of room to get better. Didn't love the pacing, but an interesting reveal at the end can lead to some cool stuff going forward.
Guys, we still have Giancarlo, Bill Burr, Ming-Na and Sassy Twi'Lek waiting to join the party. It's gonna be glorious.
Finally finished it, amazing! Don't know what baby Yoda was about though, and I'm guessing IG-11 gets repaired?
What he get clapped for?
EDIT:
Nvm, I see. At least it's just a day.

My man!
Yeah, exactly. We ain't even got started yet.
5 Years after EP.6
25 Years Before EP.7
During this time Ben is 4 Years old. Rey still not Born yet.
I generally agree. Initially I was disappointed by some of the tonal unevenness (the first bounty was not particularly well written and almost felt like he should have been in a different show), but I'm warming up to it. Perhaps the biggest issue is that the tone of the trailers was a little misleading, for me at least.
Ultimately, it's more Star Wars, but different Star Wars, with tremendous production values, so I can't complain. I think they're set up to go to some very interesting places as the season progresses.
I will say the opening was a bit cringe with the whole, "you spilled my drink." Like the most cliche bar brawl instigation.
Wut?
Wut?
Exactly what I was thinking and Watchmen is one of my favorites of the year.
