Hazo posted:Prequel lovers and TLJ haters tend to intersect at a very loud group of teens-young 20-somethings who are too young to actually remember the prequels and how bad they were and think posting HELLO THERE is peak comedy. Once again I’m thankful for the SA paywall. TLJ was fun, the prequels were between meh and very bad, the Phantom Menace was boring as gently caress and the CGI from back then aged so drat BAD. CGI Yoda is laughable bad next to the puppet from the 70's and even worst next to Baby Yoda now. Speaking of puppets, is the Jim Henson Company involved in the new show, or it's someone else? By the way, hello thread, the Mandalorian is awesome and I'm starting to get an itch for watching some samurai and spaghetti western old films.

Lester Shy posted:CGI Yoda sucked, but Puppet Yoda from the original TPM release looked even worse. He looked like a Yoda doll you'd buy at the flea market. All Yodas are trash but Baby Yoda.

An Ounce of Gold posted:I felt a tonal shift. This episode felt like a family friendly fun fest. I liked the grittiness of eps 1-3. They felt like Star Wars to me. This felt like the Ewok Adventure. Let's hope it returns to form next week. The concept art looked great. I would have liked to see the village look a little more like that and maybe a whole lot less bad acting from Gina, villagers, and bartender. That Ewok movie was a favorite of mine when I was a child, so I have no complains with a little friendly feelgood-ish episode because nostalgia. Also, agree with baby Yoda's cuteness still going strong.

To Moon Slayer; Indeed, it is great.quote:They all love Quentin Tarantino and when you try to teach them good principles of filmmaking, they say "Quentin breaks rules all the time," again not understanding that Tarantino knows every single principle of filmmaking inside and out so he can break them effectively. I love this one because it applies to EVERY visual media profession. You have to know your poo poo before you can start wrecking the rules.

Didn't even RLM said the original Star Wars was more intended for a younger audience /family friendly or something? At no moment they were too graphically violent like the prequels and the new ones. It was just this big space adventure. But then again my parents allowed me to watch Cronenberg movies when I was a child so I never found Star Wars too scary/violent

gizmojumpjet posted:"Episode 4" showed us murdered Jawa bodies being tossed onto a funeral pyre by a robot slave, the protagonists' family getting roasted down to the skeleton level, a drunk rear end in a top hat getting his arm bloodily chopped off by a space wizard, an entire planet getting blown up, a whole lot of rebel fighter pilots getting killed while screaming, and a space ship that could be confused as a small moon along with what may assumed to be a million-plus crew members being absolutely annihilated at the end of this movie made for children. Like I said I have Jeff Goldblum vomiting white goo in someone and the scene of the melting mutant doggo from The Fly movies imprinted in my mind, so I guess my child brain decided the Star War things weren't that bad after all.

Jewel Repetition posted:Yeah they said it was the hardest material in the galaxy and she was hitting it basically bareknuckled One of the Klatooinians also hits Mando in the helmet with their bare fist later on. Anyway, this is a universe with space wizards and cute 50 year old babies, everything can happen and who gives a gently caress.

Generic American posted:They're also whining that this episode was anti-men because the only one who knew how to shoot in the village was a woman. Thanks, that's a Western 101. Lady/Widow/Old Widow who was secretly a good shooter and has the balls to protect her land/family/town. WSAENOTSOCK posted:If you want to complain about the show breaking its own rules? His armor is supposed to be damned-near indestructable, but a bare-fisted punch can knock him on his rear end. That's loving stupid. If it bothers you then we can all pretend Cara Dune comes from the planet Amazonia that is inhabited only by strong muscular women who can break rocks with their bare hands, so punching Mando's nearly steel is nothing. There, solved. Edit:  that someone is definitely gonna write a fanfic about something like that.

WSAENOTSOCK posted:Here's exactly how much it bothered me: TK-42-1 posted:Exactly. It was a ‘wait... oh gently caress it’ moment. Cara is the best.  I enjoyed every second of her kicking Mando's butt. Hopefully we will get more sweet wrestling moves on her next appearance. PureRok posted:The only thing I thought of when they lady raised her hand that she knew how to shoot was: "I wonder who taught her how to shoot, and why. Is she not from here?" and then they showed just how good she was during the montage and it made me even more curious to learn how she came upon this skill. Same. There's a chance she was a former rebel? That's a mystery I would like to see being solved. Desperado Bones fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 1, 2019 |

Wheezle posted:I feel like any property that is considered the domain of nerds fills with this sort of anti-feminist sentiment. Not particularly unique to Star Wars. Jack Packard seems to be the only one leaning in to the left and being more of a feminist BUT he isnt that open about it, so i dunno what really. Even the canadian guys give me chud vibes.

New episode was good and I'm a little sad Ming Na Wen was gone so fast. I still have hopes she gets patched up, because space adventure and I don't one care about RL logic. But it seems that won't be the case  Still laughing at the few internet people who are hating the monster of the week- 30 min episode format yet still keep on watching.

cocoavalley posted:So from some very cursory googling, it looks like the sigil of the True Mandalorians. It's definitely slightly different than the one on wookiepedia though, maybe to play up the similarities if it's really what people are speculating? I'm by no means an expert on lore outside of the movies, I'm just really interested in what happens to the cute little kid. Aww, yeah, good and correct finding. The reason it looks different is because the things that I guess are supposed to be flags are cut out in the photo that was posted.The banner is slightly folded in the edges so you don't get too see the whole thing. I also love how negative space tricks our minds and we start seeing things like baby yodas So play a sad trombone for everyone.

My eyes are tired from working on designs the whole day, I didn't want to open photoshop. The rl one is slightly squished. Probably some designing bullshit, like "we have to put this poo poo in this space and my boss doesn't give a poo poo if I hosed it up lol", or new official vector by Disney. I dunno, whatever, it is the same. :Mandalorian-sigh.gif:

OG Yoda gave Herzog the contract specifically so Mando would find this kid and rekindle the relationship. *Sighs in Mandalorian*
