I liked that the Imperial offcer captaining the Gozanti looked absolutely hard as a coffin nail, that scarred look all the older, veteran officers have is one of the things they really got right in the post-empire media, ie Gideon Hask, Moden Canady

Yeah the fact that he wasn't just some cowardly self-interested cartoon villain pushover and was a true believer willing to give his life to deny a lost asset to the enemy was pretty true to what kind of men would still be sticking around for a headless Empire in senior officer positions. The ride-or-dies. Is this the first time we've seen a Gozanti in live action?

Yeah it was originally just a random background ship taking off from Mos Eisley in Phantom Menace, that was picked out of the catalogue to be reused in Clone Wars, and it grew from there. In Rebels it's a general purpose medium troop transport and picket ship, that can either dock four TIEs as a very light carrier, or one AT-AT or two AT-DPs plus a couple squads of troops when being a transport. There's also a special version covered in dishes and antennas that does SIGINT work in rebels too.

I wonder if having him meet Mandolorians who take off their helmets (and showing an armorless Boba Fett) was written in so there can be an excuse later on to show Pedro Pascal's face more often in the show.

It’s kind of weird that in the last 15 years of Star Wars, two of the most popular dark horse characters were basically “Darth Vader’s lovely intern” and “Darth Vader’s shady drug doctor”.

The attack on the Gozanti reminded me a bit of the Hawkmen attack on War Rocket Azax in Flash Gordon but I'm probably reading too much into itOB_Juan posted:I've gotta say -Given her history, taking the darksaber from Bo-Katan, and leaving her alive is a bold move. There's really nothing she can spend her life doing OTHER than getting that thing back. It's a bit of a worry that Bo-Katan is 100% obsessed with getting the darksaber back and will happily screw over Din even to get some intel on it, and Moff Gideon is 100% obsessed with getting The Child and is willing to sacrifice any of his assets to get it. Doesn't bode well for Din.

Screwing him over would be what his old "friend" did at the end of the prison break episode when he started launching the gunship to kill him.

Hazo posted:And waiting till they’re just out of frame to pantomime putting their helmets on since (I assume) they’re not actually functional. There was a bit on the ship when Bo and the the dude both did it and it really stood out to me. Katee's helmet probably didn't fit over her headband, and would have messed up her wig anyway. They would have had to stop and redo their wigs/hair after every take if they'd actually been taking their helmets off. Most of the time they used edits to hide it, usually with Katee holding the helmet in front of her face at the start of the second shot and miming removing it.  Movie magic!!!

One of this show's strongest points its is cameos. I can't think of a single guest or recurring star that's missed the mark, and this week continued that streak. The Mandalorian's camerawork and set design, in tandem, really excel at translating its storyboards to the screen. This show noticeably feels like I'm watching a comic. I've found myself wondering, though, why the biomes, and settings at large, feel so one-note and minimal. Star Wars really could benefit from some more fantastical world design; I get that it's a stylistic choice for The Mandalorian in particular, but I feel like a little more visual diversity would help the universe feel larger. Take for example the raid on the Gozanti, and compare that environment to, the assault on the Shadow Broker's ship from ME2.

They film basically everything in the Volume with minimal sets. The volume is cool and all but everything is going to end up feeling a bit like it's filmed inside 360 degrees of oled display. It's one of the reasons the armorer fight last season really stood out, that was all done on a traditional set Azhais fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Nov 14, 2020 |

They literally invented a whole new technology to film this show on the cheap, it should get better as the seasons go on and they refine and expand upon it. I’m not surprised they’ve mostly stuck with desert planet, ice planet, water planet, and such for now.

Yes they built the town set on a backlot, same with the flat sandy area for the final fight, just so they could do 'crowd' scenes which isn't possible in the volume (unless they build a larger space)

Oh yeah but it seems like they are making it a natural evolution that's not gonna happen all at once. He starts out a droid-hating, stone-cold gun for hire fundamentalist zealot and runs into things that soften different facets of his worldview a bit at a time. It's cool. I absolutely love that these mandos fighting style used a lot of brutal yet ice cold and perfunctory double taps on downed opponents. Savage.

When they were clowning on the squid pirates they kept using their wire to trip people and zoop their feet out from under them and I was like "drat that poo poo is so cheap" like it was Mortal Kombat 2. It's the same thing with Mando breaking that guys hand with his face, the Beskar armor allows you to just fight your opponents on every different axis. You can fly, shoot missiles, homing darts, flamethrower, laser-proof, tripwire, I mean really it's so OP. I wonder if the blue Mandalorians stopped to be like "Hey whoa look at this loser and-WHAT THE gently caress FULL BESKAR WHAT HOW?". I personally thought Din's armor looked way better than theirs. I genuinely don't think someone who wore a helmet 24/7 for like 20 years is gonna ever deprogram to the point where they take their helmet off casually. We might get a scene of the child playing in a meadow and he takes off his helmet just to feel the breeze or something, but we're never gonna see Din just chatting with folks face to face.
