Nucular Carmul posted:Can someone help me out with what I'm missing in the Mandalorian? The protagonist really seems like he's just a protagonist doing protagonist things because he's a protagonist. It doesn't help that the few lines he gets are absolutely cookie cutter generic nonsense. Steps out of cover briefly to see the Schwarzenegger Special being rolled out, says "Okay..." because that's what people in media say when a situation gets more complicated unexpectedly. Guy uses a jetpack to go the same speed as a space craft looking to break atmosphere and go into orbit for a dumb salute so he can be the 23556th character to say "I gotta get me one of those." even though he never talks like that anywhere else. Also why is that jetpack guy wasting fuel to do a dumb salute? I got the impression Mandalorians are supposed to be tightly focused and don't do unnecessary poo poo and are just in general a very lawful sort of group. So why'd they go shoot up a whole rear end town and blow their cover? "ThiS iS tHe WaY" is not a loving explanation in any way. How'd they know it was their guy in a scrap? Why would they save him when he clearly got into a situation of his own making by betraying his employers and a whole rear end town? The whole premise of the protagonist saving the magic baby is shaky enough on its own, why is "the Empire did bad poo poo to us" justification for declaring war on some random backwater? Now they have to move and hide somewhere else because this dumbass got paid then regretted the job? are you asking why a tight knit clan that was decimated and cares about each member would go out and rescue one of theirs? The jetpack guy flying away was telling mando that he will always have their support and that the clan got away safely from the battle.

No no no, I think he's asking why is the main character who was ripped away from his parents by the mechanisms of the Empire so concerned with merely an orphan child when he was faced with giving that kid over to the former Empire. I mean, why should he even care? Anyways, the answer is eggs.

The one shot in the sandcrawler where the Jawa slowly turns to Mando and exclaims SOUGA and he just sighs is probably my favourite moment in this show.

The conversation that Herzog and Pershing were having about the “he” who hired them to do the job leads me to craft a theory about the “he” being Paul Saltines needing Baby Yoda’s midichlorians to recover from Death Star II..

WSAENOTSOCK posted:It took a few Jawas like a minute-and-a-half to strip those parts, so it kinda' stands to reason two dudes could put them all back. I mean Luke pulls a space F-35 that had been marinating a few days out of a swamp and without a maintenance crew or hangar supplies has it up and spaceworthy.

Rocksicles posted:Nope I was briefly annoyed by Jawas being on another planet, with a Sandcrawler, but I have a fuzzy memory of "jawas are basically rats" and "sandcrawlers are just construction equipment on a bunch of planets" Oh well, it's neat to see them actually re-use a species and spaceship from the OT. Wasn't there a rumor that the current trilogy couldn't use Actual Tattooine, Actual Yoda Species, Actual Tie Fighters, etc because they'd have to pay Lucas?

Nucular Carmul posted:I see your overall point, but this statement feels really weird in particular. They make a big deal about how hard it is to make money when he's complaining about how a bounty won't even cover its own costs in fuel. There was a point about money that was made, but then they just toss it aside for a cool egg with the jawa scene. I get that I'm reading too much into it, but they themselves bothered to talk about money problems earlier in the show, it just seems weirdly dissonant. The Vikings used to send dozens of guys off in rowboats facing the very real possibility of death to other continents for rare delicacies like walnuts. Maybe they're just a super yummy rare treat. Maybe Jawas just really like taking some selfies to send to other sandcrawler crews give them bragging rights. Maybe they need to eat an egg a month to survive due to space biology, but it's risky and they saw a chance to get somebody else to make this months quota for them. Basically if you're splitting hairs looking for problems with the show it's not a big step to split some for solutions.

Hm? They need the egg for boner pills, obviously I thought that was a given They didn't need mudhorn on Tatooine because there was enough bonercilin in the air supply

Wasn't there a rumor that the current trilogy couldn't use Actual Tattooine, Actual Yoda Species, Actual Tie Fighters, etc because they'd have to pay Lucas? It's all bullshit and makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for than two seconds. Disregarding all the other existing usages of all those species, droids, fighters and planets in the wide Star Wars media landscape. Disney wanted to be able to broadly put their own stamp on the series, but couldn't get beyond the trappings many times. So you get a hodge podge of "We'll mention X and Y, but using Z is pushing it, so we'll do something like Z, but call it K! Brilliant!" It's just lazy story telling most times (Looking at JJ here). For all the crap TLJ gets, Johnson actually pushed things a bit with Cantonica and Crait. Rogue One and Solo also gave us some planetary twists. Favreau seemed like he might have been retreading OT waters, but he's been adding some tweaks to the familiar format. i.e. Ice world, rather than snow world, Mud world, rather than desert world, etc. Teek fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Nov 25, 2019 |

I thought it was just hilariously anticlimactic how they give Mando this incredibly difficult quest only to take the egg and chow down on it. Reminds me of an ending to a Samurai Jack episode. Smashmouth utinni suga!
