Awesome opener. Simple story told effectively with a great group of characters and some killer action.

Lots of nods and pulls from lore not just from the films.

I'm so into it.

At least with their Star Wars and Marvel shows, if you're going to have weekly releases then you should make them an event instead of a midnight on Friday thing.

Amazing, would love nothing more than having this show drop at 3AM on a Monday morning.

No wait, that would actually suck ass.

I don't think her specific date is the point (though that would match up with a lot of shows that come out on Sunday). I think the point she's trying to make is for a more reasonable release time that reaches the widest audience for biggest immediate impact and live reaction/discussion.


It's obviously a double edge sword because no matter when you do it it's going to be an awkward time for a group(s). Like this morning for the people in the eastern and central time zone of the US who saw it at 3/2 AM their time.

Netflix, Amazon and Disney all drop their new shows at a similar time and seems to work for them. Having all weekend for everyone to watch their content seems better than dropping at a convenient time for 1 time zone and when all the others have to go to bed for work/school.

Then move it by 24 hours or to a North American Friday evening.

Because that scenario you just said of people having work or school the next morning is a thing where it's currently at.

-He was played by Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett (whom Boba is a clone of)
-The entire episode was about armor worn by Boba Fett
-He looked scarred, which could be bounty hunting, sarlacc acid, or both
-He was watching Mando take off with the Fett armor and looked pretty pissed
-Most previous versions of the canon have Boba Fett surviving somehow
-Most other clones of Jango have accelerated aging and would be much older

The actor of Jango Fett, who all the clones and Boba are based off of:

Based on the S2 trailer, I'm wondering if the boba fett cliff hanger will be addressed next episode or wait until S3 to be explored. I'm not sure where Fett would fit in with the next few episodes

Also got a big kick out of Mando basically sending Cobb away like Han sent Boba flying.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Yeah, that's how you do a callback. Everything in the prequels and sequels is fucking hamfisted. The Mandalorian team is working on a whole other plane than the rest of the Star Wars universe.

The premise of that tweet - that The Mandalorian isn't event TV - is false. It absolutely is.

I can't stop thinking about Temuera Morrison back in Star Wars. Even after all the leaks and rumors, part of me didn't believe they'd really go there... but they did. And he looks amazing.

One thing I really appreciated was the nods to AOTC with the Mastiffs. Plus the pod racer engine too to TPM. They're using the whole turkey and it's great.

I was like 50/50 on the monster turning out to be the Dune Worm from Super Star Wars for a bit because of all the deep cuts they'd been doing up to that point.

It's funny that the single street town reminded me of Perfection before the worm came tunneling through.
