Star Wars: The Mandalorian
Jon Favreau is directing this live-action TV series.

Looks TIGHT.

Quote:
Production on the first Star Wars live-action streaming series has begun!

After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode.

Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).

It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.

Weak writing at the end of the episode. Hopefully they can resurrect this season.

No joke there. I also found it funny when he faced Jack Black and Flute Lady, whomever they were, and they told him he was banned to some moon and he sulks away all alone. At least they could have had drones escort him or had a police sort of presence.

I think this is suffering from some (perhaps) unattainable expectations.

I don't have super high expectations. And I'm enjoying the shit out of it.
Dude.

Why did the fish person have a whiny teenage accent and how do your effects people make it seem like it's coming from a disembodied head somewhere off screen and the fish person is trying to lip sync with it?

Let's set aside the expectations set by S1 and S2 for a minute, or Andor (both of which prove that these expectations are not 'unattainable') - that was 30 of the most cringeworthy seconds in Star Wars history. And this is a franchise that prominently features Hayden Christiansen and angsty middle school kibitzing about sand.

The bar for gag inducing in the SW universe is pretty damn low (high? **** it - you know what I mean) and yet that moment managed to get there with room to spare.

Is Flute Lady someone's kid?

Bart the Bear was a better actor than her. At first I thought it was an affect she was creating for the character then I realized in that later spot with her that, no, she simply can't act. At all.

Yeah this struck me as very ****ing odd. And if I recally, they did the same thing on Coruscant with that Calamari and maybe one in S2 on the fish planet? Or was it S1?

Base voice for all Calamari should begin with Admiral Ackbar. They should all be wheezing and gasping and husky like they have seawood lodged in their nasal passages.

Just lazy work. I could have ran the voice through a filter in Audition and made it sound better in 5 minutes.

Wait - flute lady was Lizzo?

Pft - well there's a stunner.

Because everyone knows that stunt-casting ALWAYS works.

I just googled "Jack Black Wife Mandalorian" and it came up.

Suddenly everything made sense.

When that scene popped up my wife and I both gave a chuckle at the guest appearance, but not for the same reason. Me for Jack Black and her for Lizzo. She knew who he was after explaining but had no idea at the time and I had no idea that was Lizzo. Probably the first time I’ve ever actually seen that person longer than two seconds.

Meh. It's just not something I care to litigate.

The fish scene was real bad. No question. I didn't get ****all out of it. The whole Mercinary comment from Bo was enough for me.

Did it suck? Yes. Did it ruin the whole episode for me? Nope.

This isn't some paragon of excellent filmmaking. But to act like equivalent cheese hasn't been put out before. I don't know if you've watched Clone Wars or Rebels but I'd say close to 60% of the screentime of those is a monumental waste of time. There are some decent elements in there, and a lot of backstory in there, so IMO it is worth the look.

In fact, this ranks as one of my favorite Star Wars scenes, for whatever it's worth.

Spoiler!


And the episode as a whole advanced the storyline.

I enjoyed Grogu being cute. I enjoyed the banter between Bo and Din. I especially enjoyed that they had to work together and the call back to Quell. The fight, I think worked. And the narrative of the Helgait character was actually kind of compelling. Yeah, he's a ****, but he may not be wrong. The backstory episode about Duku wasn't all that compelling, but certainly establishes a capacity to empathize with the dude, rather than him being a convenient bad guy in the prequels. And the bits of a backstory of counterculture within the larger society is kind of interesting.

On your recommendation I watched the Waco documentary on Netflix, and there are a few parallels between Helgait and David Koresh. Ultimately they did unforgivable things, but when you look at the big picture, they were dealt a shit hand and maybe not all wrong in their assertions.

That little bit of throwaway story telling is pretty good IMO.

They also did a decent job of potentially planting the seeds for Jack Black to be a covert bad guy, paralleling the Elia Kane storyline or him actually being a reformed bad guy in love with a princess that saved a world.

I dunno, I'm open to being wrong. It is certainly possible I needed some mindlessness in my life the day I watched it and watching Grogu cheat at space croquet scratched the itch for the day.

I didn't and still don't know who Lizzo is. Googling shows she's a recording artist of some sort.

That's the extent of the brainpower I'm willing to commit to the subject.

She's famous for being fat.

Somehow she's worse at acting than she is at anorexia.
