Yeah, it's the first time I can tell a person isn't that great at acting but I still really like them in the role.

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

Just got caught up, and I liked the whole thing, but especially the last episode. Don't know if we're still doing spoilers, but
That was really pretty awesome.
OH YEAH RANDOM STORMTROOPERS YOU JUST GOT FUCKING BLACKSMITHED.
That was really pretty awesome.
We're gonna find out I'm sure. It was last seen pre-Episode 4 in the hands of a Mandalorian.
well that thing connects the mandalorian to rebels. right?
The Darksaber is in Clone Wars and Rebels, yeah. There's a very decent chance Sabine Wren or Bo Katan of those shows will at least be explicitly mentioned at some point.
Bruh that R2 unit standing up caught me so off guard.
The R2 unit she tells you not to worry about.

I agree. She plays a big tough bruiser who's more comfortable with a blaster than chatting. She pulls it off well.
I agree, but I will say, that she seemed to do better in her second appearance. I don't know if that is due to difference in writing or directors, but I'm hoping it is just her getting adjusted to character. I hope they increase her role in season two because her and Pedro have that good unspoken buddy cop chemistry. Gives me shades of Ben McKenzie and Michael Cudlitz in Southland.
This is so obvious that it's annoying to see people pretend otherwise. Marketing gonna get asses in seats.
Yeah me too. I liked the others enough, but the last few eps pulled me in much better.
Just play random episodes of the a-team, and just imagine that Mando is hannibal, Cara is Face, Karda is murdock, and the child is BA, and the Moff is decker. It all works out!
Just finished watching it. It's a bit of a slow burn at first, but the last two episodes are amazing.
I liked the Sergio Leone vibe too.
The thing I liked best is that most of the "nostalgia-bait" was used as actual important parts of the story rather than just fanservice.
IG-11 is great. The use of the AT-ST was great. The whole Mandalorian creed stuff was great.
The casting was good too. Gina really looks the part. Herzog and the Grand Moff dude were brilliant.
It's definitely surprised me to find that the SW series I assumed would be the worst was actually the best thing since the originals.
Boba Fett was only cool because he was mysterious, so why would we want a whole series of backstory about his people? I thought it was an even worse idea than a movie about how Han Solo did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. Very glad to see that I was wrong.

Right?!
If anything this made me dislike Boba Fett. I loved him as a kid, as most did. The armor makes the man even if he was a jobber in the movies.
Now I just feel like "you dishonorable thieving motherf....!"
Screw you and your dad.
Giancarlo Esposito is like the best guy at playing the penultimate bad guy. Dude is in like everything and always in the same type of role.
I'll admit...
I need to go back and fill in the gaps in Clone Wars/Rebels
Enjoyed this show way more than I thought I would.
I kinda marked out when Gideon emerged from the wrecked TIE with a Darksaber.
That final shot is just *chef's kiss*

I had that moment ruined for me by my Google News feed. Like, literally the moment the episode dropped, the headlines were all like:
The Darksaber Explained
Where Did [redacted] Get His New Weapon?
Gideon's Fearsome New [redacted]
Like, come the fuck on.
why wouldn't they have checked out the crash though?
also i'm just catching up watching the last two episodes and don't quite understand why the blacksmith talks about Jedi in the way she does?
oh and the TIE landing scene was amazing. You never see them close up and I don't know if the folding wings/landing mode is new in this but I don't care - it just looked so good and the sense of scale with the stormtroopers in front.

I believe she's referencing the Mandalorian Wars from the Old Republic era (assuming its still canon).
Revan (yes, that Revan) and Malak rallied a bunch of Jedi, against the council's orders, and broke the Mandalorian hierarchy in efforts to halt a Sith-driven campaign of conquest.

...or when he was just an acne-riddled extra in Trading Places.
Is this our mysterious figure at the end of Episode 5?
That's the current speculation, yeah.
So, they have a few Baby Yoda things. I get it, but I need some merch with Kuili or something.
I have spoken...

This is going to be a long wait. The seasons and episodes were so short. Hopefully next season will have much more content.
First time I've seen this. Kinda Boba Fett but not really vibes
Who the fuck said that lol? Or are you just having a shower argument moment?

🤔
and yes I realise the pose is different... but the speculation must flow.

I think "Covert Mandalorian" makes it pretty clear it's just one of the Mandalorians from the covert. Funko Pop isn't going to know details about season two.
You're deliberately not supposed to know. It's a tease, specifically with the sound effects used in the scene.
