The Mandalorian

Boba was the only clone to age naturally right? Been a while but I seem to remember that being the case. I really don't know what Boba has to offer besides knowledge and contacts, not like he'd really make sense as a villain. Anti-hero/baddie turned good maybe but then again he could still be an Imperial stooge. I do have a feeling he might freak the fuck out if he sees baby Yoda though.

Only one of the Jango clones anyways. In the prequels, that was Jango's only request for payment: He wanted a clone with no accelerated aging and that would just age normally like any person. All the clone troopers, like Rex, had accelerated aging so while chronologically speaking they would be the same actual age of Boba, they would effectively be 20+ years older in terms of how their body is aged.

By the time of the Rebels show most of the clone troopers had been decommissioned from Imperial service, any still in service were much older and worked as training instructors. One of the expected plotlines they will have to address is how they stabilized Rex's aging so he's still alive around the Mandalorian time period.

it was a satisfying episode, but I have to agree with ossoi a bit in that it did feel a little *too* much like a monster/problem of the week show.
He fell into a sarlac pit no? And was presumed dead. In this episode mando mentioned a empty sarlac pit. which is obviously linked to Boba's story and how he might of lived.

I mean there's an overall plot, but it's mostly adventure of the week.

Episode was great, I don't know what some of you are thinking. Loved the homage to Ben Kenobi with the dragon sound from the original movie. Loved the homage to Han Solo/plus poking fun at Lucas with the "parsec" line. Favreau is killing it with this stuff.

Mechanic lady could be a better actor, but she's not in it enough to bother me.

Funny, that was the one niggle I had with the episode. Her acting was noticeably poor this episode and yet she seemed fine in S1.

Pretty much.

You have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire...

There's only one Boba Fett!



Oh wait...

i was going to watch this sooner, but with the election madness and stuff, plus i heard this episode was lame and that people were no longer interested in the show. fake news. this was pretty fucking awesome and people saying it was lame or whatever can suck it. its definitely following a star wars arc of "the chosen one", but that goes for a lot of shows including the new Star Trek. with that said, i do like the video game style of quest missions, because of course i would. i did have a small nitpick, when the Krayt dragon was yanking the ropes with the Tuscan raiders holding on, i kept yelling at the screen. "just fucking let go of it. dont let it eat you!" i dont even know what the point was of the ropes attached to stakes in the sand. its sand guys. sand, as in it doesnt have anything to hold onto. these guys should know that, because they're sand people. but thats it. the rest was pretty sweet. the episode storyline reminded me of the movie High Plains Drifter or hilariously, the plot to Blazing Saddles. freed slaves and townfolk band together to stop the gang of outlaws. all good stuff. i also think the episode was long was just due to it being the season premiere. last season the first episode should have been an hour, but they stretched it out to make it two parts. next episode should be shorter.

I just assumed it was a nod to the cliché.

- Views are tepid on Disney+. 45,000 to 55,000 debut approximately

- Politics, pandemic, and protesting has been a major distraction to the fandom

- Twitter buzz and hashtag/search metrics were quiet prior to release-- as expected, given what has been going on this year

- Disney is evaluating whether Mandalorian could or should be delivered on a free platform

yeah, thats what i was alluding to, buzz for this show is down and people were blaming the show. i think its new people who have some different expectaions about it. maybe they thought its just Baby Yoda doing Baby Yoda things and were disappointed because this Boba Fett dude is the star. i dont want a Baby Yoda show. i dont know what i want, but thats not it.

lol at 45k-55k views.
