In terms of Star Wars years, Return of the Jedi is set in 4 ABY (after the Battle of Yavin) and The Force Awakens is set in 34 ABY, which means The Mandalorian takes place around 9 ABY.

While some of the VFX stood out, I did like how IG-11 looked like he was stop motion animated (apart from the legs) and had a bit of stiffness to his movements. And I know they filmed a real model of the Razor Crest for the spaceflight scenes but I think it was CGI when landed, some of the compositing in the first few scenes were pretty bad on the ice planet, I think there needed to be a bit more of a background to visually break the frames up. The music was alright, a little overbearing at times but it breaks the mold as far as star wars goes. This was Dave Filonis first live action directing gig, so perhaps things will flow a little better in future episodes, not to say this was badly directed but a steadier camera for some scenes might work better.

exmarx posted:i hope the mandalorian learns not to be a droid racist He warmed up to IG11 at the end there... before blowing his brains out. So we'll have to wait and see if he goes back to hating droids 24/7 once IG11 is repaired and hunting the mando down for revenge. Quinton posted:I know nothing about Mandalorians or Bounty Hunters besides what we saw in the original trilogy. My only interaction with the Star Wars EU was the Thrawn trilogy, which rereading a couple years ago, I was sad to discover did not hold up, writing-wise, to my memory. I still love the concept of Thrawn as a baddie though,. This might help you, a brief history of the mandalorians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75lkpU6Kg1E And an older video of his (2 years) which covers the new canon history of the mandalors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woT-x2tyn4Y His videos tend to be pretty good for the broader subjects and normally pretty short, then he'll do a longer video with much more detail on things like tv show episodes and weekly Q&As etc.

tadashi posted:I didn't understand why that one bar had the imperial stamp in it? Imperial hard currency? I have babies so I watch with low sound and captions.... Owlbear Camus posted:It's basically space mithral, with the implication the Empire took it from the Mandos back in the day. According to books and stuff it can even take a glancing blow from a lightsaber. Like Nazi gold, they melted gold they stole and stamped it as their own. Except it is useful in this universe, unlike gold.

A 180 turn from the first episode, who'd have thought the dave filoni directed episode was dark and violent while the followup felt like a kids show of which he has many years of experience with. A fun episode, not what I expected it would be. Edit: And it turns out the desert planet is called Arvala-7, which is not mentioned in the show at all because there are no name cards for locations. It is mentioned on the starwars.com databank. drunkill fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Nov 15, 2019 |

Some sketches filoni did of the mando: Teek posted:Interesting run time. Wonder if that is a side effect of Favreau not writing for tv before, or instead him plotting out the story like an actual book, hence the episode titles. So each episode ends up being as long as it needs to be. This episode had a title as well, was chapter one given a title anywhere, maybe something like “The Job”? I reckon its just a throwback to old western tv shows. Just without doing corny headshots of the main characters as the intro credits roll.

I've updated the thread OP a bit. Added some information to the glossary including two videos on the mandalorians for people wanting to get some information on them leading upto this series. A timeline of when this show takes place in star wars and added some more character bios and information, including some spoilers, such as The Mandos name which Pedro Pascal has revealed and another baddie yet to be shown but already known. Also, have some B-roll behind the scenes footage from the filming of episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy4U3Zen-TI

Lester Shy posted:I'm pretty ambivalent about the sequel trilogy, but it's crazy that they bought one of the biggest franchises of all time and then just decided to wing it and produce a new trilogy without a real master plan, especially after the success of the MCU. They rushed so Hamil, Fisher and Ford would still be alive. 2/3 ain't bsd. ---- Baby yode is going to sell so many toys for Christmas.

Dan Didio posted:Also, as someone who's only really seen the films and played The Old Republic games, is 'The Great Purge' the event that we see the Mando flashing back to? Or is that a seperate, earlier slaughter that necessitated him becoming a foundling? I don't really know what the canonical implications of it being the battle droids that did it is. The flashback is him being orphaned (presumably) during the Clone Wars when a super battledroid shoots up his village. The Great Purge (there are a few of them, Order 66 is referred to as the purge by surviving jedi) is presumably the events which happened during and after Star Wars Rebels, when half the mandos were in support of the empire and used as supercommandos and the other half were against it, but then later on the empire killed a whole lot with a special weapon which melted beskar, built unwittingly by a mandalorian. Here is the canon Mandalorian history upto just before the final season of Rebels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woT-x2tyn4Y Also, here's a lovely photoshop I did:  Mando! You son of a bitch!

Heavy Mando was voiced by Jon Favreau, hence the rocketeer/ironman homage at the very end. So now he's played two Mandalorians in Starwars, Pre Vizla (as in, pre-viz for CG rendering) in Clone Wars and now Paz Vizsla in todays episode according to the credits.

I'm surprised we didn't get Cara Dune showing up this episode. Looks like next week. I do like how Battlefront II and this has made the battledroids cooler. Battlefront toned down the 'roger roger' sillyness of the B1 droids and made the B2 superbattledroids threatening with their size and they only appeared in multiplayer. In this, for only a 10 second reveal (so far) the droids slaughtering civvies showed them as menacing and a real force to be reckoned with. Elentor posted:Part of what my brain does as a CGI programmer is looking for patterns all the time. Some of the texture transitions make me think of vertex painted transitions in videogames. Well, the show is 'filmed' with set extensions in the Unreal engine. So aside from a few pillars and basic walls that existed on the backlot, everything is made using videogame tools.

The battlefront games have shown how scary an AT-ST can be when you instantly get zapped up one. Here is a little gameplay footage, wich of course it being a videogame is different, but it still shows how devastating they can be on their own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVMH-qZz2uI&t=331s Or at night, on endor, coming through the fog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93lWQJvKehM This episode was pretty cool in turning it into a hulking monster, although the raiders obviously had no mortars or rockets for it to shoot anymore.

The acting was a bit poor in this episode but you can excuse the kid, as he's ya know, a kid. Who is the mando with the spurs? A leader of another clan of mandalorians? Must have been another bounty hunter and was tracking the same target.

Donovan Trip posted:It's a shame this is gonna be off the air a while, if you're gonna behave like a serial Western you gotta give us 45' episodes a season They began filming season 2 just before season 1 started airing. Add in the fact that a lot of the vfx has to be 'completed' by the time they shoot on set so it can be captured in-camera with the tv/projected backgrounds for set extensions... Maybe they can aim for a mid 2020 release schedule. They've don't have a star wars movie in May anymore.
