The Mandalorian Season 2 - Official Thread

[nieman]

Just think: This time last year he was low-key telling people to stay away from The Rise of Skywalker.



Of course he's been throwing shade at the Disney trilogy for years. Justifiably so.

Is the footage still out there with him saying "I don't agree with anything you're doing with this character"? It was taken down for a while

Is there going to be another retcon? because I'm not accepting that Grogu is one of the students dead in Luke's Jedi academy

 

[Roid Jones]

Y'all really listen to Grace Randolph?

Only for the business aspects, never really rocked with her reviews

 

[Ironman]

Why didn't anyone ask who luke was?

Mando was getting ragdolled and becoming a new poster on that wall by just ONE dearhtrooper. This random guy just tore through a small battalion of themTurns out he's a jedi and Baby Yoda was reacting to him so Mando knew he could trust him. Also, after facing Ashoka he knew he's no match for a jedi

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

When did you know it was Luke?

Green light saber / black glove. The X-wing should've given it away too, but I didn't think of it at the time.

He is prob the first graduate and was doing his own thing

This should have been what they had cooking for episode 7 or 8. This is the Luke we’ve been waiting for for decades on the big screen. Luke at the peak of his Jedi powers unleashed. It was beautiful brehs. Absolutely beautiful. More comments to come as I process the piff I’ve just witness. The way luke pulled up in the x wing.....

I am just saying just ask the name of person you are in trusting someone you care about.

I am just saying just one your here for the kid and who are you?

Mans walked in, destroyed an army group, saved their lives and BY was clearly connected.

Don’t insult the Gawd

They don’t have to retcon. Comics state that he didn’t kill everyone.

 

[Roid Jones]

Kevin Feige about to have a hand in some of the property as well....

As he should tbh

 

[Los!]

'Mandalorian' Season 3 could fix the worst thing about Star Wars

But I also think she had the pull to say "this stays" regarding Lucas' outline. IF that wasn't the case, WTF was she even brought on for? Disney would've gave her a nice severance and bid her adieu. She was supposed to bridge the gap between Lucas and the Mouse, and she basically took the reigns and turned into a full-fledge suit...the kind that GL despised.

The difference between the Mandalorian and the movies, is that the Mouse doesn't really care about the TV side of things like that. They only care about the movies, since that draws all of their revenue. They didn't even have the foresight to have ANY BY merch in production...so they were playing catchup. They had BB8 ish everywhere 3 months before he appeared.

She's a wizard at keeping things on task budget wise, apparently...the studio bean-counters do love their balance sheets. I agree though, that kind of person has no business having any say what goes into the writing. Especially when their input isn't to the benefit of the story, but just to be hamfisted with agendas. Disney will be only too happy to let her be the lighyning rod and let her take all the heat when they quietly encouraged her in the first place.(Another thing: people aren't going to forget nor forgive what happened to Boyega or Tran, or "the Force is female" or any of that rubbish. I don't know what the source of all that was, directorial rewrites from Rian Johnson/JJ Abrams or whoever, but ultimately she'll take all that blame.)

As far as the merch, that's an ongoing problem even before LucasFilm made it to Disney. Old white people keep trying to force "cool" concepts to move numbers when they have no idea what cool even would look like: Ewoks, Porgs, various iterations of droids, Jar Jar, whatever. They got lucky with Grogu for two main reasons, one, everybody likes cute babies and two, they didn't let the child speak. Because the second that kid goes "mesa Grogu Binks" or whateverthefck would otherwise fall outta their heads...you know how that dance goes already. They're steadily just throwing things out there to see what works, and 90% of it ends up being trash.

As far as the movie/tv disparity in focus...normally that would be the case, but COVID(and whatever else follows) has them reassessing those priorities big time. They're very canny at setting up themselves for future tech/platforms/revenue strems, and that was always going to be streaming.

Lol fukk that

You would give up your kid to some random kung fu master


It doesn't take away from the scene at all I just find it funny he didn't at least ask luke his name if only to visit gorgu in the future.
