Star Wars: The Mandalorian
 

Jon Favreau is directing this live-action TV series.

Looks TIGHT.

Wait this is for real?

Shit- I thought this was a still frame version of the sizzle reels of the supposed Neill Blomkamp / Peter Jackson HALO movie.

It's for real fam.

I'm guessing it's actually Boba Fett, they're just saving that for a big reveal at the end of season 1, with a flashback of him escaping the Sarlacc.

Drama!

You're probably right, but I hope not.

The prequels wrecked the already contrived mystique of Boba Fett.

Yeah: Mandalorian armor is cool as shit and their sigil is noteworthy enough Halsey has it tattooed on her arm.. but c'mon: the Boba Fett phenomenon is really outta left field..

Doesn't matter. Fanboys will eat it up.

Just like they ate up Solo, eh?

Good to see this may not have main characters or obvious prequel like ties to the movies.

Yeah this has always confused me. Cool as shit armor but not much more or even signs of being competent at his job.

Also this brief synopsis makes this sound like a backwater planet Mandalorian western kinda thing which could be cool as hell.

When Do I get a “Midichlorians“ series?

Where is this being broadcast? Part of Disney’s new steaming service?

Stopped caring at "Kathleen Kennedy." 4321

Solo was good, champ.

Actually, it was awesome.

Apparently there weren't enough ugly chicks and beta males to make audiences happy.

Wasn't it the righties that boycotted this one?

I don't know. I certainly didn't.

I'll damn sure boycott IX, though. Not because or being right or left - because of suck.

It's not the Old Republic. Not interested.

That's what I'm assuming

Boba Fett is overrated.

He and Darth Maul are why Star Wars fans can be insufferable.

So Pedro Pascal is playing The Mandalorian.

And he looks...vaguely like Daniel Logan...

Yeah....they're totally playing us. It's gonna actually be Boba Fett

God dammit. I don't want Fett. I want something new that isn't tied to anything so they have more room to explore and create something fun and unique. For everytime the name Skywalker comes up I am going to punch myself in the dick.

Cam is the best I can do so far, Disney hasn't put any of this online:

Totally Boba Fett.

Well crap. Disney take my money because this looks awesome

Looks ****ing awesome, can't wait!!

I was expecting something somewhat dark but this looks darker than I expected...and I'm 100% here for it.

Man Disney+ is gonna be something special...

the spurs jangling when the "Mandalorian" walks past in the trailer

Boba Fett confirmed

LOOKS AWESOME

Disney has my money

The only negative - and this is a big one for me - is that Disney announced they're not following the Netflix binge release model for Disney+. New episodes of everything will be released weekly. So it's gonna take two months to watch this. I ****ing hate that.

But when I get Disney+, it'll be for this show. All the Marvel stuff is cool and all but this looks amazing.

I mean you could always watch other stuff for two months and binge this.

I agree it is a very different viewing experience. But I see where Disney is at they don’t want a bunch of our aged fools getting it for a weekend and cancelling Monday. At least this way if you sign up on the first day and keep it for 2 months you’ll at least have at using it for something else and seeing the value.

I get it. I’d probably do it too but you’re right it sucks.

The chubby nerd has comments on this:

F'k that. I'll subscribe once the whole thing has aired, and avoid discussion about it.

Trandoshans!

also not boba fett.

Boba was an homage to McQueens' character, bounty hunter, Josh Randall in Wanted: Dead or alive.

Seeing the madalorian packing pistols and rifles makes me think it is Jango or an entirely different mandolorian

I don't get why anyone ever thought it was Boba Fett. Not Mandalorian. That goes for Jango, too.

star wars is back

I'm not going to go out of my way to watch this. But I hope it's the beginning of something great. It looks a little... off to me. But the word out there is that it's totally dope.

What I've seen of it looks more like Star Wars than anything that's been produced since about 1980.

I'm wayyyyy more excited for this opposed to Episode IX....

Rogue One was more Star Wars than Return of the Jedi.

Rogue One did an excellent job of nailing the SW vibe, imo. The other films have done a piss poor job.

So apparently there's a "major Star Wars universe spoiler" in the first episode of The Mandalorian.

Boba Fett confirmed.

Hoping it's Bossk.

So ready!

Bill Burr yo!

So is this going to drop all at once, or weekly like Discovery?

Weekly, 2 episodes in the first week however I believe.

Assuming it gets good reviews (from people a bit more objective than Clay :D ), I'll probably pay for a month and watch it when the season has concluded. I already pay for too much subscription stuff.

Kind of blows my mind that the final Skywalker saga movie in the SW universe is 6 weeks away, but this is what I want to see the most. Because the Mandalorian looks better in every conceivable way

Yep. And it's kind of sad, really. Episode IX should be the crescendo to decades of the greatest space saga ever told, but it feels like anything but.

In case you have 8:14 to listen to a breakdown of a 1:45 trailer.

Rogue One is one of my favorite movies of all the Star Wars movies.

kinda weird that the highlights of the trailer are i6-88 and bill burr. still, it looks much better than any of the Star Woke movies.

It's actually not IG-88, it's a different IG droid, IG-11, played by Taika Waititi. Supposedly a pretty interesting character, if I remember what I've read, sort of a child-like assassin droid who has no idea of the morality of what he does.

it's not like IG-88 was interesting at all, anyway

hell, neither was boba fett to be honest - very cool looking guy that had no story

they're taking the idea of what fans had in their heads for boba fett and IG-88 and making something way better

the vibe is exactly the same

it sounds dumb on the surface level but it is actually kind of promising. childlike droids are a very Lucas-y concept. R2 threw tantrums and screamed while c3po was a overgrown Fauntleroy

So it premieres tomorrow and it hasn’t fully screen for critics. Why?

Some rumbling out there that it’s not that good or it has some sort of twist that’s going to piss Some fans off.

some think the Mandalorian is a woman in some weird twist. Rumors that Pedro Pascal is either the lover, the mentor, or the former dude who wore that armor and he's killed off the first episode or something.

Hmmmmm

that's the dumbest shit ive ever heard

**** off deberg

LOL it's because they didn't want spoilers to get out....

Ok, but this is Disney guys. Remember

Disney always advance previews their stuff for critics if they know they have a winner.

Disney did good with Solo and Rogue One.

This is the same vibe.

This gonna be GUD

They advance preview all the Marvel films.

If it wasn't good, or if they didn't have confidence in it, it wouldn't be the launch series for Disney+ and they wouldn't have given it a 2nd season weeks ago. You're handwringing over nothing.

Is the Disney + app available yet?

I looked in the App Store and could not find it.

I am all signed up, just need to get the app on my devices.

Nevermind...found this article:

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/disney-plus-app

Goddamn that sneak peak was awesome. This is going to be the best thing Star Wats since Rogue One

Yep...cannot wait to see this tomorrow.

MANDO TORRENT OUT

So I just read a gizmodo review for the first ep (of course I forgot to save the link...) and it sounds like the best thing ever. They basically said it was everything Lucas had ever wanted from a live action Star Wars show.

Here it is: Gets pretty spoiler heavy after that.

https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-mandalor...the-1839793444

So can they just use The Mandalorian to retcon the shit out of everything that happened in TLJ?

Please? I'll get behind any kind of de-aging or digital imaging stuff to make fake Lukes. If you can please just have a world where Rose isn't a thing and Fin's character arc comes to an actual satisfying conclusion by sacrificing himself on PURPOSE instead of because he was ordered to.

Oh, and Luke isn't a shattered husk of himself who mostly just wants to die.

Can we please use this to fix that? I'll pay them LOTS of money for Disney+ if they can make me that promise.

After seeing The Mandalorian trailers and presuming it'll be as awesome as I think it will be....I wish they'd just make live action shows from here on out in the SW universe.

There are sooooo many stories and things you could do with a season or 2.

Let the movies sit for a long, long time.

Dane sure seems to be suggesting that's exactly what they'll do.

And it's the only sensible path forward. They've murdered the OT property - it's dead.

Just work from a clean sheet and start over.

Star Wars movies are on haitus after rise of skywalker until December of 2022 if I remember correctly, although I have no idea what that movie is. Kevin Feige is working on something, but that date probably isn't his movie. It's just Disney+ series between now and then as far as I know. There's the Diego Luna series set before Rogue One, there's the Obi Wan series and there's a second season of Mando. And then there's the final season of Clone Wars and whatever animated stuff they do after Resistance ends.

lost it at the ****ing spit-roasted kowakian monkey lizard

i love this show so much

that was ****ing awesome

hope they bring the droid back for more episodes LMAO

Wow. That was pretty damn cool. The characters, weapons, armor, environment. Everything worked there. This has some serious potential...

Acceptable.
