The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
The way this episode was shot, specifically the Stormtrooper ambush looked like something straight out of a direct to DVD Steven Seagal movie, a Power Rangers show, or an episode of Arrow.
laughable how they retreated into the 2 space ships and flew away.
ehm your spaceships have 2 huge canons on each side. why dont you shoot at boba and the gang?
why did they even park their space ship next to mandos? with the door opening to the front into the direction of the ennemy?
They got both types of Stormtroopers in this episode. The swarms of idiots who couldn't hit someone 8 feet away and the ones that run at a person who doesn't have a gun only to get clobbered.
I want Mace Windu to return and train Grogu. He fell from that building and landed in Bruce Willis' taxi from the 5th Element.
My girlfriend was like, 'It looks like if my dad cosplayed' but loved every second of it.
The most egregious thing was the trooper on the turrent being terrible at aiming but somehow managing to track the person's running feet by inches the entire way. Sure some of this is dumb, but I've never been the biggest Star Wars guy compared to my girlfriend and it seems like a lot of fun so it's fine by me. I can at least see a bunch of spin off concepts being built off of this one successful show though. If you don't take it deadly serious, it's fine.
Tiny handcuffs are adorable though. I'm confused how it would actually stop him from using the force though.
This was shot during covid restrictions right? Might be why its a bit more lowfi
No. They finished shooting season 2 before any lockdowns started.
It's possible they can electrocute the wearer.
Either that or they incorrectly assumed force users need free movement of their hands to perform telekinesis.
I don't get why Boba looks so old. If he was about 10 in AOTC and the Clone Wars were around 3 years long and Luke was around 20 when New Hope started and Mandalorian is 5 years after Jedi wouldn't he be more like 40 rather than 60?
I get that he's a clone who has to be played by Temuera Morrison but they could have made some effort to de age?
Edit: Nevermind sounds like this has been discussed to death already.

This could be brushed over with a 'clones age faster' comment in a future episode or the fact that being in the Sarlacc really fucked up his complexion and he is actually younger than he looks.
is it just me, or is that cockpit feel like it's way too small compared to the one we see in the tv show? in season 2 ep 2, you get the impression they have more space for Mando and Frog Lady have their last stand shoot out with the alien spiders.
yeah, in term of direction, I like Peyton Reed episode the best, even if it seems like the most "filler/side quest" from other episodes. but I love everything about that episode, the spaceship chase, the spiders, the humor with the egg. it's great
For those of you wondering why Gideon, who's posted an incredibly large bounty, kidnapped the child from a jedi temple so he could experiment on him by drawing blood, sent Mando to retrieve him after he was stolen, and has been chasing after the two of them since episode 2 of the first series, might have handcuffs specially designed to restrain a powerful force wielder and sized perfectly for that force wielder, then I don't know what to tell you.
Season 2 started shooting before Season 1 was even released, so they most likely finished shooting everything before march.
Yeah in that case, wonder what the final reason was for shooting in LA with such a simple set design then
I mean Street Fighter was more than 25 years ago. It's crazy how long she's been on our screens.

It and the barge aren't true 1to1scale they just went as large as they could get it.
Theres other pics with him on the ramps and in the cargo area that really show how underscaled it actually is.

People not happy with the way this episode was filmed: Do you know this episode was directed by Robert Rodriguez? It looks just like something Robert Rodriguez would direct. Personally, I enjoy that aesthetic but I can understand the criticism.
That's why it's funny seeing comments like 'they have to kill Cara Dune in the next episode' or 'they should listen to the internet forums analysts and rewrite the story to please them'...
Do we know exactly why Moff wants Grogu? In a previous episode I'm sure that the hologram Doctor Pershing mentioned experiments but it was kinda vague?
They want a donor for midichlorian-rich blood.
edit: my speculation is that this ties back to Palpatine's resurrection/Snoke's creation somehow
"- Give me back my armour or I kill this child!"
"- You know what, forget the armour, let's massacre a hundred stormtroopers for fun"
"- I'll get the armour myself"
"- Ok, now I owe you forever because I took back myself what belongs to me since the show need us to team up and that's the best our writers could do."
The same writers who brought you the forgotten jetpack as a plot device.

Mando is a pretty dumb character in general. And after that he just leaves Grogu unguarded as if that wasn't his only purpose in life right now.
It is George Lucas' commentary on the brutality and randomness of the battlefield. You can be a badass like Boba Fett but still random bad luck on the battlefield takes you out.How am I supposed to reconcile this godlike reincarnation of Boba Fett with this jobber? Did the Sarlaac's innards teach him martial arts? Dude just blew off a Stormtrooper's head without even looking and he couldn't fucking dodge a blind man's stick.
Quite deep philosophy when you think about it. King filmmaking.
Rodriquez was a last minute replacement.... and him not using the volume and be the first one to shoot on location for this show sounds very much like it was his decision.
Dude is known for filming fast and loose on a shoestring budget and probably the perfect choice if they were having BTS issues.

To be fair, they were in the middle of negotiating a deal when the Stormtroopers showed up
But yeah this threw me a little
Next episode should be the Famuyiwa episode.
you could clearly tell this was the Rodriguez episode lol. All that spy kids style action and cuts

Nope. She's one of the few big pulls they have left that would make people pumped.
I hope Mando didn't forget his jetpack
That was pretty funny. Custom made baby shackles.
This was the worst part of the plot for me. It felt like there's an extended scene on the cutting room floor where Mando actually makes a deal with Boba.
It would actually make sense and be a pivotal moment for Mando to forsake the puritanical "Beskar is only for true Mandos" creed in exchange for the child's life.
But no, Boba kinda forgot that he never did any deal with Mando.
What i wanna know is why a tusken raider showed up on the New Republic's list of incarcerated criminals. What authority do they have to arrest a tusken raider in his tribal lands? Or did a raider actually leave Tatooine and become a bank robber or something?
Are y'all forgetting that Boba himself literally stated that there was no need for violence and that they were negotiating?
Someone on that list was a member of Maul's species so it most likely is comprised of people who had active careers away from their culture.
I didn't know she's in that too, haven't seen that movie in a long time
