The baby isn't Yoda - this series takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi
Thank you! :) Didn't know the timeline and thought the baby was actually Yoda.
I am surprised how many people I see online think this is a prequel to the OT. The stormtroopers and talk of the Empire falling I thought would be a dead giveaway lol.
The more atmospheric and contemplative tone of the series gives me a lot of 2003 Clone Wars vibes, which is the absolute best compliment I can give anything.
Fuck it I would watch it. I can watch them pillage, barter and get drunk on Rhino egg all daylol the jawas. They're pretty much a star wars minions.
Don't surprise If Disneys gonna make movies//series about them someday.
Jawas are crackheads. I can see them all like Tyrone Byggums scratching their necks asking if we got more of them eggs.
I got that now. I've been avoiding almost all info on this thing, so going in fresh.
I seem to be in the minority thinking the first episode was better. It looks great but the story isn't anything interesting. I can't imagine casual viewers finding this compelling.
Also the colour timing is really weird, all the black levels are lifted way too high. I hear the same colourist graded the OT which looks a little desaturated.

They mention the Empire isn't really around anymore in the first episode.
The music is so weird in this show. Good weird mostly, but very un-Star Warsy much of the time. Feels like a 70s sci-fi flick, but maybe that's the point.
I really liked Episode 2, mostly because I really like both not-Yoda and Jawas. I'm still scared for not-Yoda's safety (I am ready to protect that adorable thing with my life), but I'm convinced this series will have a happy ending for not-Yoda. I can't imagine they'll go the evil route, right? RIGHT? But then I don't know what would explain why not-Yoda hasn't been mentioned in anything happening in the recent films. So I'm scared for not-Yoda.
On a different note, I'm kind of surprised that the Mandalorian wasn't familiar with the Force, even from stories and legends. However, I guess at this point, the Jedi have been gone for a while, and Luke's, Vader's, and the Emperor's powers probably weren't super well publicized. Maybe?

When the flashbacks were happening in the foundry, the music, the cuts, the overall feel were like a fan film.
Because Yoda and his kind are the best and there is an obligation for anyone working with Star Wars who has the option to include Yoda or his kind to do so.
/s
More seriously, you raise a good point. If this race ages super slowly, it would still be a child during the ST and not really of any use. It's not like this series will end with not-Yoda carrying a lightsaber and ready to join Rey in the fight and offer wisdom.
Yeah the direction isn't helping either, with the choice of shots and framing. Would not be surprised if episode 8 (Waititi) is a big step up.
The flashbacks weren't handled the best in terms of integration but you made it sound like the entire execution of both chapters so far feel like fan films which is why i responded.
But I mean...WHICH empire, you know what I mean? Eh?
Sorry.
Yep, it's much more of a thing in other countries - the US is just now catching up.
If he's fifty years old AND a force sensitive, it means that he survived the Jedi purge and the Inquisitors' search for Jedi babies.
Little dude's lived through some shit.
But the Mandalorians of all people should be familiar with the Force given their history with Force users.
It bugged me a bit but I justified it by thinking the Mandalorian was a foundling and maybe didn't learn the Mandalorian history as much as someone actually of the race.
The Jawas were great. They only sent the Mandalorian out for the egg because they knew it would probably kill him. It would have gone two ways.
He dies. They keep his stuff.
He lives. They get a giant Cadbury egg.
Whole episode was top tier. He sucks up a little of his pride, gets an intermediary, and ultimately gets his ship parts back and rebuilt. All while not pointing every thing out in dialog. He gets his ass kicked and eventually runs out of gadgets. You get a character that won't go down without a knife fight. True badass.
Also have a new respect for the Sandcrawler level in Super Star Wars.

Finally caught up to both episodes
I'm not the biggest Star Wars guy, so I thought this was pretty average
also wtf, you're gonna have my boy Pedro Pascal wear a helmet for the whole series?
What a waste!

Great show. But the music keeps giving me weird Temple of Doom flashbacks. Or am I the only one?
I think playing expansive RPGs have rotted my brain because this recent episode felt like Mando was on a side quest just to get his ship back in literally one piece.
I have spoken.
I have spoken.
No no. You misunderstand.
The reason is because not everything needs to be connected. Star Wars is already too small.
Do you know what a foundling is, then?
I thought they were either:
1. Orphans.
2. Young Mandalorians in general.
Very much enjoyed the first two episodes. Hoping for longer episodes as season goes on as I want as much of this as they have to offer!
