it is the other woman mando no?
The hooded mando was Sasha Banks' character, one of Bo-Katan's cohorts.
I'm curious tho why couldn't they just keep them at the original length and she just tie them up like a pony tail when she duels. Would make some more grounded sense of reality.
Good ass shit. That was some good ass shit manes.
Filoni knocked it out of the park with the western/samurai mix, the whole atmosphere of the Ep and the visuals of the planet..... It's good stuff.
The two ending fights being a duel both with sabers and the gunslingers was great. Merc dude was trying to get close enough with the shotgun and tried to get an opening with Mando's hand away from the blaster. Ashoka fighting the Magistrate, then like Vader in ESB, switches the grip and ends it after making the magistrate think she had a chance.
I do want to find out more about that spear too, seems like it would be a very, very old Mandolorian weapon.

Actually, thinking back to his Westeros days, maybe it's better if Mando never takes his helmet off.
I loved that during the two duels you could hear Ahsoka's fighting on the other side. I was literally thinking, "wow I'm surprised you can't--" as it started up. So good.
The shorter design works while, e.g. letting her wear the hood and all that, without any fuss. It's just more practical for live-action.
I think the problem is, what happens when she turns her head or jumps? There's a lot of situations where they'd either get in the way or flop around in a goofy way, or stay completely frozen like they're made of cement. It'd look bad IMO.

I say no Jedi because I'm betting Ahsoka is leading Din on a snipe hunt with the seeing stone. If she's worried that separating Grogu from his father figure will lead him down the dark side, then I doubt she's actually setting him up to be taken away by some other Jedi.
Since the implication of the seeing stone test is that if no Jedi shows up and the child belongs with Din, then I bet the seeing stone is actually nothing special and this is just a way for him to accept the Child rather than trying to pawn him off to complete his quest.

I swear if the next OT isn't subtitled "Wild Westeros: a Star Wars story" it will have been a missed opportunity.
No way, Ahsoka is better than that. She's being a true Jedi, and trusting in the Force.
But then where does that leave us if another Jedi arrives? It would be the exact same dilemma we just had with Ahsoka where either the Jedi takes the child and the series ends, or they have to refuse the child for some reason.
If there is some sense of density in those things then if she were to tie the 2 in the front up towards the back with the 3rd one, there would be enough weight to keep them out of her way while she fights and do flips and flips and stuff right? But it would depend on how heavy those things are.
Can anyone recommend a good Star Wars podcast? I've only sampled The Forcecast (pretty good) and Rebel Scum (too bro-ey, and hosts pretending to be apolitical while casually railing on "cancel culture" from time to time).
Oh that's the good part. We know Moff Gideon, Boba Fett, and Thrawn are in play, so all sorts of shenanigans could go down that complicates things.
Mando is wide open now.
I dunno if there's behind-the-scenes stuff yet, but I got the impression it's a spongy plastic thing that's pretty lightweight. The moment you make it longer and have it require some weight to simulate its mass, that complicates stunts and scenes a lot IMO.
I'm sure they tried a lot of prototypes before settling on a design straying from the OG, given how authentic Mando has strived to be in portraying SW thus far.
Leia has renounced her powers by this point according to the TROS flashback. You can replace her with Cal Kestis.
Thats an interesting take. And alot of westerns had this same scene composition as well.Anyone notice the nod to Yojimbo? That final scene was spot on!
It's the same, even down to a guy coming out and releasing the strung up prisoner! A lot of westerns were based on Yojimbo to begin with, A Fistful of Dollars was not far off being a remake, that in turn led to Django and on to all the films it influenced.
Episode felt like half homage to old westerns and half homage to old samurai films. In the most literal sense as they transitioned between the two mid fight scene lol
That might be possible, but I think Ashoka wants what is best for baby yoda, and doesn't want him torn away from his new papa and all the dark sidey stuff that comes with it. So if he did some force skyping with some cool guy and was okay with leaving Din, that would solve that problem. If not, we continue with Lone Mando and Cub!
Thrawn was an Imperial Grand Admiral of Chiss descent (blue skinned humanoid alien). He's a military genius who is able to understand flaws in enemy strategies by analyzing their culture's art. Thrawn was a primary antagonist in Star Wars Rebels where
he was defeated by the young Jedi Ezra Bridger who trapped him aboard a Star Destroyer that he zoomed off through hyperspace into the Unknown Regions.
In the old, now non-canon books, Thrawn re-emerged after the fall of the Empire to lead a massive attack against the New Republic that nearly led to an Imperial reconquest of the galaxy before he was killed.
Essentialy Grand Admiral Sherlock Holmes, using art (either created for certain people/species or owned by certain individuals) to learn everything about them and how they'll behave on each occasion so he can kick their butts. Is the only known alien to raise to a high command position in the Empire.
He's one of the more relevant characters of the old Expanded Universe, the main antagonist in the novels that kickstarted it, and some years ago was rescued for the new canon with more books and Rebels.
I only know Thrawn from Rebels. Reading this thread in the books he's a sort of anti-hero? He was pretty mustache twirling evil in Rebels. He joined the Empire to steer it from his people it sounds like?
That dude's death had zero impact on me. He had death written all over him for so long.
He started off as a villain in the old EU but Timothy Zahn has more or less turned him into an antihero, yeah. He has four books in the new canon so far where he's basically a Chiss agent who worked his way up the ranks of the Empire so he could learn about its strengths and capabilities and try to keep it from attacking his people, hoping to turn the Empire against the enemies of the Chiss.
I hope that if they do bring in Thrawn, they do him more like the books (the original Thrawn trilogy) than Rebels did. Rebels did a really poor job of showing how he could out-think his enemies to the point that they're left wondering what the fuck just happened. But I also can't see Thrawn having any real interest in a lone bounty hunter and a baby.
I'm not expecting Luke BUT supposedly he did sign away his likeness for live action recently, so we could see him. I guess Mando must have the budget for it, considering everything else they can afford?
If she really did work for Thrawn, as a connoisseur of rare art, it'd make sense he got it and gave it to her. Obviously that doesn't say where he got it or what life it had before then.
I'm not sure Thrawn will come into play. Unless he's somehow Gideon's master (which feels unlikely considering Rebels though I guess Ashoka looking for him where he is leaves that up for debate) I imagine Filoni would want to keep a Thrawn sidelined until the Rebels follow up the series finale implied. Resolving it in Mando would also mean having to cast Sabine, Ezra, and maybe even Hera in live action.
Anyone notice the nod to Yojimbo? That final scene was spot on!
I loved how overt the look was, tying it back to the samurai movies that inspired SW to begin with. The exterior dead forest reminded me of a lot of samurai films too, like Throne of Blood.
"Grogu? That doesn't sound too cute"
that's why I was thinking he was gonna be a goodie now but my way is still a baddie. Ezra asked him not to go this way and he still did it. 😔
As others have stated, Clone Wars is an anthology series. You don't need to start from the beginning, just pick episodes or arcs that sound interesting to you and go from there. The Mandalore Arc in Season 2 is great. Obi-Wan Undercover Bounty Hunter arc is another fantastic one. The Umbara arc is a great set of episodes featuring the clones. You get the idea.
She does though. She goes reverse grip when she's disarmed and fights seriously.
Judging by Rebels and the recent books, he could absolutely have an interest in Grogu.
He was defeated by a Jedi, so he's going to want to know about and/or harness their powers, since the Force is something that can muck with his plans. Also, the Chiss use Force-sensitive children to guide their warships through hyperspace.
"GUYS THE FILMOGRAPHY WAS LIKE A FAN FILM!"
Copying shots from greater works doesn't elevate cinematography. The art is more than just copying cool shots, it's about how they all connect together and create a complete whole.
yeah i missed that, it just the majority she fights with a normal grip style, it just feels off with the normal style, and i understand why they did that because for live action that is easier to choreograph, i just wish it was more.
P.S. i love the fact that pedro's mando gets a spear as a weapon the same weapon his "wear a helmet" meme character uses
This might be SUPER out there, but did we ever get confirmation that Cad Bane is dead?
I'm just thinking: who could have infiltrated the Jedi temple and stolen someone during Order 66 and there's one guy we know who's actively infiltrated high security republic targets AND stolen Jedi babies... and is a western themed bounty hunter who'd work really well in Mando.

Nahhhh, he had one of the most surprising and effective in SW. Especially when it was explicitly followed by the world between worlds and explicit confirmation that he and Hera had not been doing the will they won't they thing. But that they had been FAWKING. All jokes aside the entire cast of Rebels had death flags written all over them the entire time, especially as the series continued and Thrawn got introduced.
She won that fight the second she switched to her reverse grip sense.
The entire attachment theme doesn't work for me cause every jedi master/apprentice should have an emotional attachment to one another
The Empire did raze Mandalore after it openly rebelled. Wouldn't surprise me at all if high ranking Imperial officers were given trophies from the planet. It'd certainly explain why Gideon was allowed to keep the Darksaber, for example.
That weird moment when you actually prove the point you're trying to criticize."GUYS THE FILMOGRAPHY WAS LIKE A FAN FILM!"
The composition, negative space, sense of depth, and atmosphere of the Seven Samurai shot is vastly superior to the Mandolorian shot.
Also, I believe the word you're looking for is "cinematography," not filmography.
