Straight up forgot that it was rumored that Timothy Olyphant was gonna be in the show, so when took the Boba helmet off, I was like "well I'll be damned" and he was fantastic. I hope he comes back later in the season

Two things I noticed upon re-watching the episode 1. The shot of Cobb using his rocket to kill the escaping Mining clan dudes is framed almost identically to Iron Man killing the terrorists in the first Iron Man movie. The only difference is Cobb doesn't "cool guy" walk way from the explosion. Nice little nod from Favreau to his former work, I think 2. Seems a bit odd that Cobb only refers to the bartender as Weequay. I would assume he'd have learned the name of the bartender he saved and I assume visits quite often, rather than just calling him by his species. I suppose it could be a Star Wars-y way to just call the guy "barkeep" but it seemed unusual.

skasion posted:In old canon, Weequay usually went by “Weequay” to outsiders because they didn’t have names among themselves owing to the fact that they don’t really talk and do most of their communication by pheromones. Oh interesting. My knowledge of Weequay is quite limited to "the guy who got eaten by the sarlacc with Boba Fett" and Hondo, so that actually helps it to make sense.

They got better performances out of him for Clone Wars, which I think is mostly just Dave Filoni being a better writer than George Lucas was.

Test Pattern posted:"Jedi? Why of course! You are very lucky, my friend, because you have found the greatest expert on Jedi in this sector, if not the Galaxy! Why, I have had many adventures with Jedi! I have fought them, fought alongside them, stolen from them, kidnapped them, saved them from kidnapping... If you want to hear about Jedi, I am the next best thing to a Jedi! Even better than a Jedi! So, my helmeted friend, what do you want to know, and what is it worth?" Considering we know Hondo is alive and kicking up through the Sequel Trilogy era (thanks to Galaxy's Edge), I'd be so goddamned stoked to have him show up to piss off Din at some point.

That was some premium rear end-kicking going on this week. Solid loving action and, yeah, this'll keep the "but the plot" people happy for a bit.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Ventress owns, I’m kinda bummed there’s no chance of her popping up again since that novel killed her off. I mean, technically the book is canon (which is weird, I thought it was Legends), but that's never stopped them from ignoring non-filmed media before. Did anyone else think for a second the mother and father frog were gonna eat their little one at the end of the episode, sort of like a "and you thought the baby was bad" thing. I mean, I'm glad they didn't, but there was a slight pause there that I was like "Oh no." I was shocked at first that Bo-Katan simply said Ahsoka's name, because I thought they'd play that for mystery, but then it makes since that this show is introducing these characters from animation as New To Mando and thus the audience. Hope her live action introduction is as cool as her character deserves.

I'd love to see them take the route Rebels did with Thrawn and do something similar with Mara Jade. She'd be really cool to see in the story, but she'd have to be different than the Legends version.

They simply can't have a Star Wars product without some form of Lightsabers showing up. Solo almost made it the entire runtime until Maul shows up and ignites his for no goddamn reason, and then Mandalorian season one busted out the Darksaber (which at least is a cool variation on it that hasn't been seen in live action)

Laughing my rear end off forever that they brought back Midichlorians. God, I love Favreau. This was a boss-rear end episode, and even though it felt like a "side-mission" episode it still had decent "push the plot" info. Carl Weathers should direct more, cause the action was top loving notch.

Gendy Tartakovsky Clone Wars kicks large amounts of rear end, but it's stylistically very different in both look and tone to the Filoni series. It's just fun Star Wars action (and they got to introduce General Grevious and show why he's a feared badass, instead of the weird mustache twirly coughing dude in ROTS. The Filoni show helped Grevious too)

Big Mean Jerk posted:The Yuuzhan Vong are, on paper, a really interesting villain and I’d be down to see Dave & Co take a swing at them. The NJO in general kinda sucked, but forcing the Jedi out of their comfort zone to face an enemy that’s basically a wound in the force is a neat concept. The Yuuzhan Vong always felt more like a threat from Star Trek than Star Wars, but they were interesting to see the Jedi deal with even if the books were not the best.

If the show manages to find a way to bring Thrawn into live action successfully, it may just become my favorite Star Wars thing ever, since I adored The Thrawn Trilogy when I was in junior high school. Sure they don't read very well now, but I still love that Chiss bastard.

And her voice isn't as big a departure from Ashley Eckstein as I thought it would be. She just sounds like an Older Ashoka, which makes sense. Also, I adore the way Grogu would look at Mando whenever he said his real name.

I suppose it would depend on how old Gungans get, because he'd be fairly old at that point. I'd be thrilled though, especially if it gave Ahmed Best more work. I love Ahmed Best. He's great as the Jedi host of the Star Wars Kids version of Legend of the Hidden Temple.

euphronius posted:Did Dawson do a good job as Ash(hs)oka? She did a fantastic job. Dawson embodied the character excellently. I knew we were in good hands when Mando used his launched cords to tie her up and she realized she could jump up and screw up his plan, the smile on her face is 100% the Ahsoka from the Clone Wars and Rebels. She got the physicality, the personality, and the heart of the character very well. She also happens to look very good in the makeup and her voice is fairly close to what Ahsoka would sound like at the age, continuing the progression her voice actress was doing from CW to Rebels.

Like most things Kylo Ren does, it was done in poor judgement and done poorly, so he hosed up, cracking his blooded crystal which caused it to be super unstable, so it's just more powerful than a typical saber hilt is built to hold. Nothing to do with evil.

I was 100% sure this episode was gonna be a side-quest to the main plot but was pleasantly surprised they went right to Typhon. Boba Fett finally living up to his promise of being cool after all these years is dope as hell, and him wrecking troopers with a Gaffi stick is just the coolest poo poo

VagueRant posted:Was that the first time the show has actually shot footage outdoors instead of on that crazy holo-stage? They have a little outdoor set in an old LA train yard that they redress a bunch if they need to be outside (the biggest use I can think of it is the establishing shots of the Tattooine ghost town that Cobb Vanth protects) Semi-related, apparently the Obi-Wan show is going to shoot in London, and also...a soundstage in Boston? Space Boston prevails.
