dbunting Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Felt a little obvious that it was a set up. I knew as soon as I saw the one character that I had seen her before, had to check IMDB to see it was Osha the wildling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 The Disney+ splash page preview pulled the old bait and switch on me! I got on last night and it gave me the teaser image of a new episode of the Mandalorian. In the teaser image was Mando, the rebel commando, and the assassin droid from ep 1. The preview text said that the Mandalorian was teaming up with a group of mercenaries to take on a special mission. Naturally, I assumed this would be a reunion of characters from previous episodes and was completely confused when we were introduced to the group of misfits.

Veltigar Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 My God, I feel like figuratively gauging out my eyes after watching this. Just utterly horrendous. The weird tentacle creatures (not even going to attempt to spell their creature names) were so fucking annoying, same for devil dude and that stupid sharpshooter guy. This was the worst acting I have seen in quite some time. Not to mention that the story was weak even by the low standards of this show. I'll end the season, but right now I don't think I'll be back next year. Baby Yoda or not, there is only so much buffoonery I can stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Forget Rey, Luke, or Anakin. Baby Yoda is the most powerful force user in the galaxy, the real Chosen One. I have spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieStone Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Now, THIS is what I've been wanting from The Mandalorian! Best episode by a longshot, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 That was definitely better. Still very saturday morning cartoon, but at least it had use of previous characters set up, and now I can write a fanfic of IG 11 and Uncle Iroh opening up a tea shop.

Rhom Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Wasn’t expecting that. Baby Yoda force choking someone?!!? Imperial death squads??? Taika Waititi as a guest star??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Baby Yoda force choke! Finally an episode with repeat players. First “mythology” episode since #3. leaps and bounds the best episode. I’m excited for the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrist Simon Steele Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 This is me and my son's favorite show. Every episode is more fun than the last, though this one ended on kind of a bummer. We watch with closed captioning, and I love all that Baby Yoda "whimpers" or "giggles"--I don't think I would have picked up on his/her/their emotional outlook in certain situations without those captions.

Toth Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Great episode. Dumb premise (it was so obvious to be a trap and Mando's old boss switching sides just because the baby saved him was such a cliché), but it worked for what it wanted. And... despite walking head first into this trap, at least Mando spoke as if he saw it coming. I'm still very confused why Werner Herzog's boss shot his place up. At first I thought it was some kind of conflict between different Imperial factions, which would make sense visually given how the Moff's troops look significantly cleaner and organized and had no trouble mowing other Stormtroopers down. But Herzog's remaining troops acting like nothing happened afterwards threw me off. There was not even a hint of an implication that they had to switch sides, with the two Scout Troopers essentially striking out on their own despite just witnessing all this chaos at their home base. Which would only make sense if they knew it was their actual boss. But if he was, why would he shoot his own troops AND risk killing the child? This needs a VERY good explanation and I'm afraid we won't get one. Edit: Also Force Healing is canon again. Yay, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused too but it seems like the Moff knew the baby wasn't in the cradle. Why he'd get out of his ship and put himself at risk just to taunt some bounty hunter, I dunno.

Corvinus85 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The finale was definitely good fun, packed in a much longer episode, too. Those familiar with the Clone Wars and Rebels series will recognize a few good nuggets of lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Well I finally got the answer to my question: Spoiler We do get to see him with his helmet off. Also, did they show anywhere else that it was Boba Fett that saved him as a child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
