It's been bugging me all day who the mandalorian reminds me of, and I finally figured it out on the third watch. They definitely channelled Seth Bullock from deadwood for his character. In fact, you could have told me it was Timothy Olyphant playing him and I wouldn't have questioned it.

So Boba Fett isn’t technically a Mandalorian because he’s a clone of Jango Fett. One of the most beloved Star Wars characters isn’t technically a member of a super bad ass warrior culture because they had to give him a back story. Thanks again George Lucas.

Can we please get a thread with spoilers? That ending needs to be discussed.

Do we have to spoiler the part about him and his mate having twin daughters, and him taking one and his mate taking the other, and raising them separately, and then the daughters find out about each other and switch places?

that was so fucking Disney.

IMO, spoilers should be fair game with it being released weekly.  Don't want spoilers for the latest episode? Don't read the thread past the date it came out.  And there isn't much that I would even classify as spoilers in episode 1.

 

Episode 2 drops Friday I believe.

probably do something like spoilers for 1-2 days after release. 

let me know what you guys think we should do.

I"m almost in the camp of no spoilers, don't open thread till you're caught up with current episode

Episode 1 was pretty fucking awesome.  Like top 3 or 4 of all live action Star Wars productions.  It is like Rogue One quality as a TV show.  Hopefully the rest of the series can live up to it.

Well Jango wasn’t a Mandalorian either according to the Star Wars wiki page, so it follows that Boba wouldn’t be. Maybe he gets to join up during or as a result of this show. Or maybe The Mandalorian has to hunt him down, that would be cool.

It’s not Yoda, at least not the Yoda we know. This series takes place after Return of the Jedi so Yoda is dead.

Clones seem to make the most sense. It stands to reason that people/organizations wouldn’t stop using clone technology just because the Clone Wars ended.

We don't really know anything about Yoda's species, so they have a lot of places they can go with it.  I think we can say it's not Yoda himself since he appears as a force ghost in TLJ.  My guess is whatever species he is, they are a very rare and very force sensitive species that could be very powerful if manipulated to one side or the other.

I have a friend in the special effects industry, and he pointed out a few shots that could have been left out (the monster worm attacking the ship at the beginning, etc.) that could have easily run the budget up several hundreds of thousands, into the half-million dollar range, maybe more, and he was intrigued about whether they were just showing off, or just throwing things in for the fans (callback to the Falcon almost being eaten, etc.).

The quality is amazing, we are going to have to pick up a 4K TV at some point.

Just dropping in to say I loved it and I want more! It looks great, it feels great, and it's the best live action Star Wars thing I've seen in a long time.

Dave Filoni is the man and he needs to be in charge of all things Star Wars.

Guys it’s not Yoda and imo it’s not even a clone version because that would mean Yoda would have given up his DNA or something like that. I think palps found another Yoda and now that the empire is gone, (given the moment palps is presumed dead) people in the know want the force sensitive 50 year old man baby to be theirs.

I am by no means a SW junkie, albeit I googled mythosaur after the episode and there’s a whole wookiepedia page on them. A little more bad ass than that creature. 
 

Didn’t pick up on the Life Day significance until you pointed it out. That’s funny.

I’m in the not using spoilers camp once the episodes airs/streams. If you don’t want to be spoilered, don’t read until you watch.

This.  He would not have let the cluster fuck of the sequel trilogy play out like it did.  He needs to replace Kathleen Kennedy right fucking now.  She must have some amazing blackmail pics to have kept her job this long.

If The Mandalorian hunted down and killed Boba Fett, that would be so fucking awesome, and so many fanboys would be so conflicted, because Boba was the end-all of bounty hunters for so many of them.

And Nick Nolte has had some work done - he's looking a little younger these days.

LOL yeah. The wife and I (no pics) were laughing about how the alien Nick Nolte looks better than actual Nick Nolte.

And agree about all of the initial impressions. Fucking fantastic and perfect.  Dave Filoni is truely "gets" what Star Wars should be, from Clone Wars to Rebels to the Mandalorian.

Put that man in charge of the next Star Wars film trilogy, stat.

This is the correct rule. Once it airs, it can be discussed. Just like the GOT threads. Even previews (not that they will have previews for Mando), but it's the only fair way for both parties. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't click on the thread until you've watched the show

Yep, this is not new.  It is not like they are all released at once.

Agreed with this.

We've typically used spoiler tags in the series that get released all at once (Stranger Things, Narcos, etc.), because not everyone can be expected to binge through 8-10 episodes in one sitting... but if they are releasing one at a time, it shouldn't be any different than any other series... just wait until you watch the episode to view the thread.

Not spoiling this because of discussion above, but also, this is the background scene mentioning Boba earlier.

I did not think Jango or Boba were actual Mandalorians, and just had the armor, but looking at SW fancies is far too headache-inducing.

It does have the blaster dent that Boba's had, but this could be just Filoni fucking with us.

Another angle, spoiler for big.

I never read any EU books but has there been any mention of the material the Mandalorians use for their armor?  With the ingot being such a big deal and the mention of Mando's armor in the beginning bar scene I'm assuming this is comparable to valyrian steel, hard to get and tuff as shit.
