The Mandalorian

Just theorycrafting, sure - but I would imagine that if things start to vary too wildly from what's defined as a human habitable zone, then what type of alien life forms you encounter are going to be wildly different than what resembles a human. If they breathe another type of gas, then thought has to be put into what type of energy they are living off of. If the energy they are expending is in such low amounts or even super high amounts, then the form of communication they are using is likely not even close to what we would understand w/o some type of help. At least that's the way I interpret what I've read.

What Ive always been slightly annoyed with is how little effort goes into different species/aliens in media. What I mean is, even though movies/series shy away from slithering and anything other than bipedal for likely cost versus reward - games do too, and games often have the same animations available in NPC's.

They had aliens that required a different environment in KOTOR. Can't remember if it was 1 or 2, think it was 2, but they had a cantina that you as the player character had to wear a full suit to enter/survive because it was their ecosystem inside.

Star Trek was the same, although they tried to lore explain it by revealing in TNG that all humanoid aliens had the same shared base DNA due to an ancient race seeding the galaxy with their Genetics. I think they also explain there is sort of a “middle ground” life support type that can mostly accommodate most species, although on non-mixed crews they adjust to be more comfortable.

At the end of the day, they want to tell a story and shit like oxygen/nitrogen mixtures get in the way of that. Same reason everyone speaks and can understan d each other.

Blood pressure spiked. And then I read the rest of your post.

Wasnt he already being a big diva?

not buying this one, it's awfully convenient that they claim this was the reason for Pascal's meltdown only after this episode aired. as if they were looking for any reason to pin the rumor on and this was it. maybe if this was mentioned before the episode i would give it some validity.

Carl Weathers is the director for tonights episode. So I doubt we will see Ahsoka tonight. Looks like another side adventure before that happens. Pretty sure Gina is in tonights ep though.

Likewise, it appears to be a controlled "leak" to mitigate damage. The timing with this episode is too much to be coincidence.

This is one rumor that I can safely discard into the trashcan.

Can someone type out the jist of this rumor for those of us who aren't going to watch? Please. I feel like a 'please' should be in there somewhere but I don't know where. So now it's in there twice.

the "rumor" was that Pascal is butthurt he isnt allowed to take his mask off and this past episode was the cause of his meltdown or whatever. because 3 Mandos got to take off theirs even though they were a different set of Mandos but Mando still has to keep his helmet on. it does make sense in the context of this episode, but this rumor only appeared after the episode aired. so its very questionable and i think its a load of shit. whatever reason he blew up, it has nothing to do with the masks and more than likely has to do with something common, like money and maybe why he isnt getting enough attention. he should wake up to the fact that he is only rocking a suit and can easily be replaced. which may happen if he bitches enough.

Ya no one is paying Pascal for his looks thats for damn sure. Just bitchin for not getting enough of the limelight.

i think it's a bit more nuanced than that.

the video claims that when pascal was hired, he was told NO mandalorian will show their face. then baby yoda shows up and becomes the breakout star that everyone talks about. so pascal is basically playing second fiddle to a puppet. on top of that, now you have a bunch of mandalorians who have no problem taking their helmets off and pascal is stuck being the only one who can't emote with his face and is functionally replaceable as anyone can play that character.

i don't exactly fault his reasoning for being upset if that's the case.

but again, the challenge is on him to MAKE himself irreplaceable. do something with the character that only pascal can do. there's a reason katie sackhoff was asked to play bo-katan throughout several iterations of her character and it's not because she's an amazing actress. she's alright but she made the character hers and the fans love her as bo-katan

lol @ second fiddle to a puppet

has anyone offically addressed the 1st rumor that is will be voice only for season 3+? he is totally replaceable as the physical actor, i didn't even notice a change last season during the fish village or whatever

yes, but thats the point i made about him not getting enough attention. i can believe that no sweat. Baby Yoda shows up and steals the show. Gina shows up and steals the show. Sackhoff shows up and steals the show. i think the helmets arent really relevant because he signed up for wearing a helmet and thats his gig. he could just do voiceover for scale and let the doubles wear the suit. nobody would notice or give a goddamn. he's just a suit. if he was replaced last season. would anyone notice?

No further update or additional source on that. Will probably recycle during S3 production.

As a funny fact. Sasha Banks got the job in Mandalorian because Favreau saw her episode of Hot Ones and wanted her for the part.
