Yeah this I can get behind. It takes cues from both, while not excelling at either.Well, I brought up the Man With No Name exactly because it seems Mando takes it as an inspiration, but lacks what makes those films good. (While still being bad-ass character doing bad-ass things)
John Wick is fun, but there the balls-to-the-walls action makes good for the flat characters. I don't feel Mando as a whole has find this kind of balance already, but the last episode gave me some hope.
The town didn't know where the Sand Dragon lived and the Tuskens didn't have the technology to take it down. The Marshal and the town viewed the Tuskens as savages and would not have been able to break bread without Mando's familiarity with them as a people and their language/cultural norms. The town also would not have followed Mando's instructions without the leadership of the Marshal. It was about people overcoming their differences to take down a common threat.I find it funny those people needed Mandalorian and that other dude to help them when initially they did all the work and just gave dude the detanator.. As they did no work at all.. Till it didn't work.
Raylan... Seth always looked like he could assplode at any minute.So do people see Raylan Givens or Seth Bullock that people see when he takes off the helmet? Cobb Vanth seems like a nicer, more chilled out guy than both, but a bit less swagger since he's not the main guy on the show. There is probably some Olyphant cinematic universe where they are all in the same bloodline that are always destined to be marshals.
If it's like the first season, there will be a point where Mando gathers all the new people he's met for something in a later episodeCobb better not be a one off, it'll be the greatest crime in cinematic history.
He's so sad that they took his armor.Got the highest quality image of Boba I've seen, brightened the shadows.
Hondo's in this season????????!?!??! When was this leaked?Of all the character speculation and discussion I think im most surprised this character didn't come up at all.
-snipped image-
He is in Rebels', Clone Wars and one of the faces of Galaxy's Edge.
Hondo is a great and respected business across the galaxy!
Oh sorry, im saying with all the guessess and suggestions of who could show up I haven't seen Hondo mentioned once.
Oh I had no idea there was an animatronic of him! I could definitely see him making showing up making trouble for Din or being referenced by some other smugglers/pirates lolOh sorry, im saying with all the guessess and suggestions of who could show up I haven't seen Hondo mentioned once.
Why is Boba still on Tatooine? It's been 5 years and he should know how to get off the damn planet.I wonder that Boba become an Amnesia like Legends?
No Way that he will let Cobb wear his armor for 5 years
Not just an animatronic they had a suit actor there around the openingsOh I had no idea there was an animatronic of him! I could definitely see him making showing up making trouble for Din or being referenced by some other smugglers/pirates lol
laying low perhapsWhy is Boba still on Tatooine? It's been 5 years and he should know how to get off the damn planet.

might be a bad time to be a known friend of the empire and enemy of republic heroes luke/han/leia
tatooine could be a good place for a man to hide from the new republic
This is nonsense. Spaghetti westerns have tons of depth and character. Films like Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly aren't considered some of the greatest films of all time just because people like cowboys shooting bad people.People who bash the show for not having a ton of depth or character development (for our Mando) must've forgotten or ignore the fact that the show is HEAVILY influenced, or just IS - a spaghetti western. The fact that this dude has a name is depth for that genre :P
Star Wars delving into other genres of storytelling is pretty much exactly what the doctor ordered, IMO.
I'm loving it. Can't wait for more.
"My daddy is the smartest person in the whole flat world."Chewbacca probably tried telling Han and Han just brushed it off as a furball exaggerating things
Thank you. The Mandalorian models the difference between classic and revisionist westerns. While the series may feature some scant qualities of the latter, it certainly favors the bombast of the former.This is nonsense. Spaghetti westerns have tons of depth and character.

The Mandalorian is less like spaghetti westerns and more like those type of shows that were parodied in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A kinda fun, but ultimately meaningless villain of the week show.
I thought that was Jango Fett? The timeline is so very confusing to a casual Star Wars fan like myself.
Jango Fett got his head chopped off wayyyyy before. Boba is a clone of him, one that ages normally so he'd look just like an older Jango at this point.I thought that was Jango Fett? The timeline is so very confusing to a casual Star Wars fan like myself.

5 years older than their age in ROTJ. Mando is set 5 years after ROTJ.
About 28-29 years old. Boba is 41-42.
17 hours from exactly now.
I did the exact same thing not 7 hours ago, lol. Got up excited for a new episode and none came. Took 10 minutes of refreshing D+ to realize that the new episode is tomorrow.
Did they say why they didn't just bring a ship with turbolasers to blast the dragon?
Yup, we knew who was directing each episode before the season started last time around. Not this time.So who is directing the next chapter.. man we don't know shit lol.
You know, if it actually gets into Boba's backstory and motivations
It would be cool if we see him originally going after Vanth for his armor back but he sees what it was used for which to him calls back
And he then let's him be.
