The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
that was always star wars, it was always a big shared multimedia universe before disney it's starting to get back there again
For as good a job of a villian Esposito plays, the man has big 'notice me senpai' vibes in scenes where he isn't expressing a ton of emotion lol.
Figured this was more to do with who the Children of the Watch are. Bo-katan described them as zealots. If you watch TCW, the idea of removing helmets wasn't really touched on at all and plenty of members of the death watch do it. So Din's tribe must be pretty hardcore.
It was a bit odd that Din didn't know about the Darksaber and the traditions that surround out but if his tribe never intended to return to mainstream mandalorian society (or what is left of it), it kinda makes sense not to pass the story down.

If Lucas isn't ok with the direction of Star Wars now that it's basically live action Clone Wars call back, he shouldn't have sold the property.
I don't think the finale was perfect by any means, and the CGI Luke was cringe inducing; just as was Leia in Rogue One, but the episode did bring the majority of the Star Wars fan base together with all the fan service. It was fun and address most of the story threads throughout S1 and this season.
I'm happy that people enjoyed it at the level they did, and hope S3 really tightens up the writing. Get Favreau more heads.

The films literally went out of their way to ignore everything that was happening or had happened in the EU. It was never an interconnected universe at all. Like, compare the Gendy jedi to the way the jobbers who lost at the coliseum in episode 2. Or how a game like Force Unleashed was canon.
I've being very specific by comparing it to the MCU because tons of stuff that happen in any given piece of modern SW media has a trickle down effect big AND small events are brought up and you can tell how deliberate they are with it because they make sure everyone who would be aware of something in the past being referenced can pick up on it. Like, name dropping Operation Cinder. Something that appeared in a video game and novels.
Somehow, I forgot that this conversation took place! I look forward to rewatching Rebels after I'm done doing the same with TCW.
Not really, her mom is more concerned with the fact that she is likely unable to hold it. The whole point of the Darksaber (and previous helmet of Mandalore) is while it grants you the ability to lay claim to all of Mandalore, it also makes you a target. As the holder, everyone and anyone will be out to wrest the saber from you. So, simply possessing the saber is extremely dangerous if you aren't strong enough to defend it.
EDIT:
But, at least the clip provides some wiggle room.
If something being labeled fanservice stopped it from happening, Mandalorian would have been canceled in pre-production.
From what I understand from this thread, the solution is just to recast him with Sebastien Stan. But no CG, it has to be Yoda Deepfake. With a beard and white robes.
Pretty sure the people complaining about fanservice were already complaining Grogu existed at all. No fun allowed, remember. Everything must be a sombre examination of the oldest warning of them all - never meet your heroes.
I admit grew quite tired of Ezra and Zeb fighting early on.
which is when sabine earned it here with witnesses
and bo lost the right after losing it to gideon
Edit: this is also stated by law, meaning the right to wield the darksaber being won by combat is law, it also means bo legally in not allowed to take it by her laws not a religion but by mandalorian law because she lost it already in combat with gideon
I get the feeling that Gideon didn't just take it for shits and giggles. Like Bo Katan went out of her way to try to take the main bridge when they could've done anything else. Gideon mentioned that she was likely panicking because he wasn't at the bridge. And she looked pissed as he walked up to hand her the saber. It's like, they knew what was up but Mando didn't. And i'm sure we're either gonna get a flashback about that later, or we're gonna get an EU story about how it ended up in Gideon's hands.
That's true, but then she just handed it to Bo.
The way I see getting around how she was just given it the first time is that this act caused some friction in her initial "rule" of Mandalore. Not every clan saw her as worthy of the title since she didn't correctly win the saber, she was given it. As such, many clans held secret doubts which eventually led to her doubting her leadership and ultimately losing the fight against the Empire and the Saber. Now, seeing Mando just hand her the saber again she knows she can't accept or face the same doubts, she must win it.
Ezra started off as basically a superpowered street rat who lost his parents to the Empire and wanted revenge. Kanan actually showed him a better way, but Maul proved how easily the dark side can lure you away from the light.
I think, by the end, Ezra actually grew into a pretty cool character. He knew that the Rebellion couldn't win as long as Thrawn was in the picture, so he did a pretty selfless thing and sacrificed himself to ensure the Rebellion had a chance.
Of course, now we know Thrawn somehow made his way back to the galaxy - a very bad thing indeed given that he could quite easily tear the New Republic apart once he has built himself a capable fleet - but we don't know what happened to Ezra.
bo still could take it at the time, but she lost it to gideon in combat aka the siege of mandalore, by mandalorian law it is illegal for her to take the darksaber again without combat
she has to earn the right again which she lost to gideon
Star Wars: A huge expansive universe where only two people are important and everyone else is just sort of milling about waiting for them to show up.
He's got to show up so that we know Ben didn't twat him in ~15-20 years
He can be forgiven to striking down his father, for attempting to kill his monther. But slaughtering baby Yoda we cannot abide.
I think the voice and scene concept are what matters.
It's a streaming show, they could always update the CGI a little bit in the future. It was almost great, they can fine tune it.
I still highly appreciate the endeavor.
At the end of the day we got this and I am just in disbelief and very happy.
Now hoping Hayden gets the same treatment of love and care (not goofy suit vader).

No more Baby Yoda, gotta give something new for Mando. He has his own light saber now. The spear is not practical enough.
But seriously, what will replace Baby Yoda? I can only imagine it will be a droid.
The Mandalorian light saber thing? Would of been good to give it to Luke like: "Here have this souvenir!" just to see Bo Katans face.
Then turn around and say: " Try to take it off THAT GUY then."
Still want to find out about the spear, Mandos are not shy about embracing technology so a plain-ass spear of pure Beskar seems like it would be really, really old
Pretty sure he will. I think the whole unite the Mandolorians will be a big part of it, starting with Death Watch.
He hates droids. But hopefully Tudyk gets a part voicing something.
Yeah I'd like to know the history behind that spear as well. Did Mandalore the Indomitable wield it? Or is it much older from the time Revan fought mandalore the great?
'Shows'
Hmm. I was wondering if The Book of Boba Fett might be a film. Looks like series is confirmed.
So Boba spin-off and Mando S3 back to back in December 2021 will be nuts.
Kennedy did say at the Investor meeting they were in the process of building more Volume sets around the world, two of which are in Australia and the UK I think.
Seems like they are expanding big.
That was a mess. Should have just had mandalorian toss the sword to some random scrub enemy to rid us of that contrived ass impending conflict between Katan and him

Disney going fucking all in on Disney+. It feels good to have bought three years of it at that discounted rate last year.
I think that's ultimately "The Plan". Between all of the Marvel and Star Wars projects Disney has announced they could, conceivably, have a new show begin the week after the last ended. Some will be one offs, others will have multiple seasons and it'll just be something new to watch every week of every year for the foreseeable future.
They kind of dealt with the droid hate with IG. It's part of his character growth so I think it's pretty likely he'll have a droid sidekick especially if his story is about uniting Mandalorians, that would be part of another thing they have to overcome to unite, just like the helmet/face issue.
Yeah I canceled my subscription right after S2, they need to have content releasing continuously to hold subscriptions.
