I, too, like to permanently caress my body with fleeting images for social media cred. Will I regret this in less than 12 months? lmao

I wanted to get the Imperial Wheel in my 20's too because it's a cool design and I like star wars. I am glad I didn't both because I've very much fallen out of love with the idea of marking my body with pop culture ephemera, and because nowadays with real world fash resurgent people justifiably look at potentially cryptofash symbols with a skeptical eye thinking you migh be obliquely signaling CHUDdom.

I mostly really liked this episode, but what was the deal with him thinking he could leave baby Yoda in some random village and nobody would find it? Did he just forget that a bunch of people have the fobs? The bandit AT-ST was dope. I love seeing old Imperial tech in the hands of galactic scumbags.

Did he just forget that a bunch of people have the fobs? I just assume that the fobs have a range limit, maybe planet wide or solar system wide, so that a bounty hunter has to have half a clue where to look and Mando just figured a backwater mudball with a technological cap of wicker weaving was far enough off the beaten path for the baby to be safe. Plus he was there for at least a month or two with no trouble beyond the raiders, so his guard was down.

I have enjoyed every episode so far and I really appreciate how they immediately establish 1) who this guy is 2) why he's hanging out with a baby yoda 3) why he's running 4) why he can't ever stop running. Also my favorite thing from the last episode was the actress playing the widow very clearly decided to bump the implied sexual tension to "gently caress it, I am the hottest loving person in this village and all the other men are very obviously brain damaged by too much shrimp consumption. Bone me. Right now."

zoux posted:The range limit on the fobs is plot-determined. Kind of like how fast warp speed is I don't think it is. When the Mando first gets his baby Yoda contract, they gave him the fob along with intel on the target's last known location. Even the Trandoshans that ambush him were shown eavesdropping earlier in the cantina. And in the last episode, it was immediately preceded by a scene where he blurts out "how much noise they made a few weeks back" taking down the AT-ST. From everything we've seen, the fobs are pretty much useless unless you already have some general idea of where to look.

Are we ready for another weekly cycle of Mandalorian posting tomorrow? Day 1: “Holy poo poo that was amazing!” Day 2: “We’ll actually it was dumb because tactical stuff and they should’ve done this.” Day 3: “Holy poo poo new Baby Yoda memes!” Day 4: “This is the worst Star Wars ever since The Last Jedi. Here’s my 10 page essay on why Last Jedi is awful.” Day 5: “More Baby Yoda memes!” Day 6 and 7: “Here’s all this non Disney canon former expanded universe stuff that they should incorporate because”

just another posted:I keep waiting for the Mandalorian to assemble his ragtag team of gold-hearted mercs and it keeps not happening, so maybe it'll happen tomorrow. Just made me realize that this is practically Eisenhorn already. Although if the Eisenhorn show is half as good I'll be very happy. Taika Waititi owns and IG-11 owns so I'm expecting him to become a party member, but then I guess this show is just full of amazing actors playing what are probably side roles where we won't see them very often (Werner Herzog, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito) So its hard to know what direction this is going. It could be Lone Wolf & Cub with Mandalorian and Baby Yoda and each week they just have a different adventure and meet new people. Or it could be that he ends up swinging back around and Herzog or Esposito become a regular villain. Not sure which I'd prefer honestly.

One indication that I really like this show that I wouldn't mind either of those plots or something completely different (Mando and Cara hook up to kill the poo poo out of some "Trumpist" New Republicans). I don't think we'll see IG-11 again, but we might see IG-12. Didn't Mando blast the hell out of IG-11 in a terminal way in the first episode?

I guess they could have Waititi voice the whole line of them I was thinking they could have IG-88 show up, as he's a droid he doesn't really have a life span and could easily be alive during The Mandalorian (or even Last Jedi) and since he's a droid you don't have to worry about casting someone with the same appearance Although I kinda like that they made it IG-11 instead.

Mulva posted:Well that's sort of what you want a flagship show for a new service to be, which was the part being discussed. Amazingly enough popularity is important when you are specifically having a discussion about what what will sell your service. A sold, well executed basic story with high production values and a weaponized mascot is basically exactly what you want to sell your new service, not someone going "What if we made the Wire, but Star Wars? What if Jedis hosed?" and failing miserably. Sorry to revive a conversation from a few days ago, I just wanted to respond that I wasn’t really questioning it as a business decision but a creative one. This is the best they could come up with to kick off Disney+ and that’s a shame. I think you know that nobody would suggest that Star Wars should do a Wire-esque show, that’s just being silly. The Mandalorian as a story pitch is fine, it’s actually quite good, it’s just lacking in execution. The scripts needed a couple more passes from writers who care about basic character development, that’s all. Star Wars at its best relies on the fundamentals of traditional storytelling, it’s why the OT is so lasting. It doesn’t break new ground but it gets the things right that people really respond to and remember. A loud unison squee over how cute baby Yoda is is fun, but it’s a fleeting pleasure. It’s a series of memes before people move on to the next thing. The Mandalorian will be forgotten a few months after it ends unless it somehow pulls out some great character work in the second half. I’ll hold out hope it does but I’m not going to watch the rest until the season is done and I hear something that contradicts my doubts about it.
