I wasn't expecting him to start effing people up in that short a time frame. One minor point, did he learn Sandpeople-ese or something in the offseason? Last year, it was all sign language.

It's on Tatoine- so it would be cool if the Sheriff makes a cameo in the future...

It seems like there was quite a bit of intersection with other stories. The armor he took from the Marshall looked like Boba Fett’s. Also, who was the guy watching at the end?

Short answer: Yes
He was played by the actor who played Jango Fett in Episode II, who was the father/clone basis for Boba Fett. Of course, Jango Fett was the clone basis for tons of Stormtroopers but that would be a little cheap and not in the spirit of the Mandalorian so far...

Temuera Morrison is 59 years old. Boba Fett was born 32 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Mandalorian is set about 9 years after the Battle of Yavin.
Temuera Morrison, thus, is playing a man a generation younger than he is and Boba Fett should not be older than he appears in S2E1.
ETA: Morrison didn't just play Jango in Attack of the Clones, he also played the clones (although they were actually mostly CGI, so they borrowed his face, they didn't actually have him in costume on set) and voiced them, and voiced Boba Fett's lines for the post-prequel DVD release of the original trilogy.

I will accept that Boba is a clone but hopefully Temeura Morrisson tries to use the raspier original voice. Also I sorta didn’t want to see Boba unmasked. I accept he looks like the Clones but I figure he’s been disfigured and more world weary.
Also I never understood why Jango wanted a clone. Why not just get a woman?

11-01-20, 13:54
I figure, based on what we've seen of the sorts of relationships bounty hunters seem to have with each other and with the galaxy's other scum and villainy (and those scum and villains have with each other outside of the bounty hunters), that Jango Fett realized he could trust no one else in the galaxy but himself. Even his natural-born progeny might be twisted by outside forces into betraying him, potentially even by their mother. And since the only person Jango Fett could trust is Jango Fett, why not have your son be literally genetically identical?
Or maybe Jango had a hard life growing up, his father dying or leaving him at a young age, maybe both of his parents died. And he decided to give himself - his clone son - a chance at having a relationship with a father figure that he'd never had.
Or Jango was a narcissist and viewed himself as practically perfect in every way. Why else would a Jedi Master come to him for the genetic template for a clone army? And like all narcissists, he desired immortality and/or eternal youth. Maybe he views genetic immortality, immortality through clones being genetic copies, as being literal immortality. Or maybe he had plans similar to Palpatine in the movie that shall not be named and thought he would somehow be able to transfer his soul into his clone's body.
I'm sure hanging out in the belly of a sarlacc waiting to be digested doesn't exactly do wonders for the appearance.
No, and I'm sure living five, six years as a lone nomad on a desert planet with binary suns isn't exactly healthful for the skin, either. Moreover, it isn't like it'd be the first time someone decades older than the character they're portraying was cast for a particular role.

We watched it Saturday night after trick or treating. I was very pleased. I loved the old west feel and seeing Timothy Olyphant as the Marshal. The cameo in the last scene is definitely who you all think it is. I'm intrigued to see what his character is like as the season progresses. Mando will run into him soon, likely in episode 2.
Having played a lot of Star Wars games, that was not what expecting a Krayt Dragon to be subterranean. I do love that they showed the sand people getting the pearl at the end. That's a nice tie in to off screen canon.
Did anyone else notice what the Marshal's speeder bike was made out of? Nice reference to the Phantom Menace.
That was the best Tremors sequel yet

We don’t need to know too much about Boba Fett. And we don’t really want to. I don’t.
But seeing a survivor of the Clone Wars, esp Rex, again would be total feels overload.

If you think Boba would be old by the time of The Mandalorian...
I could see it. But it seems like too much a red herring if it's Rex and not Boba in an episode set on Tatooine, involving Boba's armor, and a (former-)Sarlacc pit. And there aren't any of Rex's trademark items: The blue accented Phase 2 clone armor breastplate, the twin blaster pistols, the Rebels-era beard...
It’s Fett for sure.
Armor color, bumping the jet pack in the back of it and Olyphant flying off pays homage to Fett’s fall into the Sarlaac Pit.
Also, the “spurs” sound of when the Mandalorian was on Tatooine in the previous season. I think it ties into the blood lines book and Fett being the head of the Mandalorians.
Also, even the nod back to the rifle that was in the Star Wars Christmas special. I feel the show is far too sentimental for it not to be Fett.
Also practically, I didn’t watch the Clone Wars shows, but I thought Boba was the only one that didn’t have rapid aging. Wouldn’t the clone troopers all be dead by now or at least much older?

Yes, Boba was pure genetic replication as discussed in Episode 2 AOTC. Clone Wars had an arc about him.
But as a reminder, Filoni discussed the rebel seen in ROTJ with the beard was Rex. Or that's who Rex was modeled after. Mando series only takes places five years after the events in ROTJ, so Rex could still be alive.
Regardless, it's not Rex.

That’s alright. I’m old enough I don’t care. I never thought all of my very specific interests on Boba Fett would serve me so well as a kid. Small wonder we’re so interested in weaponry. One thing I do appreciate about this series and what kind of just wore on me was Boba Fett only ever cared about money. While I did appreciate the drive and calculating nature - it just after awhile made it hard to like him in some ways if that made sense. That being said - I like the Mandalorian’s cultural stuff they’ve added. All of the “this is the way” stuff was totally non-canon. However, it hasn’t hit a point of damaging the fabric and severity of the characters. If anything and I’m stunned to say this - I feel it has made them more likable.
God Bless,

I checked on Wookieepedia and Filoni has had plenty of opportunities to make retcon Nik Sant to be Rex, but has declined to take it, although the Rebels-era appearance of Rex was based on Sant's appearance on Endor (er, the forest moon of Endor).

She was Anakin’s padawan in Star Wars the Clone Wars animated feature and later tv series. The Clone Wars animated tv series is probably the best thing in Star Wars besides some of the video games.
Edited to add: I also agree that Disney releasing The Mandalorian one episode every Friday is silly. This is not television. It is a streaming service.

I mean, if you're trying to force people to pay $140 for two seasons of a show, that's about the only way possible.
There is an argument that 'lesser' shows have to be dumped in order to be binge watched... and this seems to reinforce it.

No idea. It's a big galaxy. For all we know, Moff Gideon's little rump Empire might well survive well into the sequel trilogy with Dark Trooper-ish things roaming it's streets, keeping the "peace". Din Djarin, Cara Dune, Greef Carga, &c. could all be long dead by the time of the sequel trilogy for all we know. Because, again, it's a big galaxy.

Dave Filoni was the only director they could have picked for that episode. He's the one that brought Ahsoka to life and "raised" her through the various series.
Biehn had an aged Johnny Ringo vibe to him even though it was a limited part. I wish there could have been a minor arc of a few episodes with him as a bad guy. I've always thought he played an exceptional bad guy.
I don't want too many spoilers here, but that planet she sent him to has been played around in the Expanded Universe for years. I like how Favreau and Filoni are pulling bits and pieces of the old Expanded Universe into canon. And if the person she was looking for is drawn into the Mandalorian series? Oh, the fan theories are going to be outstanding on that front if they start along that path. They just opened a whole new world of possibilities.
As long as Favreau keeps at it, the rest of this season (and hopefully future ones) are going to be total fire.

I played around on that planet in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It'll be interesting to see how it looks compared to the game, although Korriban (they called it something different in TCW) looked very much like Korriban from KOTOR/KOTOR2/SWTOR in TCW.
While I agree the eight episodes per season sucks, I don't think they'll leave it as a cliffhanger. I imagine it will end like last season did: Main story for the season is wrapped up, with hooks laid out for season three and maybe/probably the Rebels sequel series.
ETA: I wonder if Hera Syndula is going to get a cavalry moment in the last episode...
And I will say this, I don't care if he has a name. It's still Baby Yoda, dammit!
In this regard, I actually found the episode fairly disappointing. What would the screenplay have looked like without that? The same, same level of epic, but more mystery about his entire race. Ahsoka sharing more information about yoda the audience already knows would have felt like a better use of time.
My wife promptly pointed out that the lizard family got three episodes, Ahsoka gets like 0.75 of an episode... that's knowledge that can't be un-had. I know they'll continue reusing characters, and there's no way they're done with Bo-Katan and Ahsoka, but then it comes down to waiting years to see how that pans out, I'm less pressed for interesting character-driven stuff that connects to the rest of the lore, and would rather just have cool but broadly mysterious characters that can have open-ended story arcs written for them.

***SPOILERS BELOW***
But remembering everything is connected. There's a reason Tython was mentioned and remember, there's still Dark Siders out there even with the fall of the Sith. (obviously with Ep VII) And I really, really, really think there's a reason Thrawn was mentioned as the writers are setting something huge up.
I have faith in Favreau and he's not let us down so far. I doubt we've seen the last of Bo-Katan and her merry band of badass Mandos, Ashoka, Greef Karga, Cara Dune and Boba Fett. (don't forget about that little cameo)
The question is, if Thrawn survived one can surmise Ezra Bridger survived as well, no? And the fate of Sabine Wren certainly will tie into this somehow. They are writing Season 3 right now without a production date and I couldn't imagine Disney stopping at two seasons with the ratings being so high.
Then again, it is Disney and they go Simple Jack from time to time...

It had been stated by Floni that Ezra and Thrawn are alive. The end of Rebels shows Sabine and Ahsoka go off to look for Ezra. I was wondering how they were going to show that adventure. Honestly I was expecting another cgi animated series because that was brought up once or twice, but the failure that Resistance was probably canned that idea. I am glad it will be most likely answered by The Mandolorian. (Forgive my misspellings)
I hope they bring Ezra into it. The character development in the cartoons is so much better than in the recent movies. I’m surprised that they didn’t have any Sabine references when Din said something about a Jedi and a Mandalorian working together. It was a common theme with Ashoka. The friend I’m watching with hasn’t seen Clone Wars or Rebels and keeps having to ask me to fill in the gaps.
Watching the season 7 finally of Clone Wars reminded me how dangerous Ashoka really is.

Honestly I was expecting another cgi animated series because that was brought up once or twice, but the failure that Resistance was probably canned that idea. I am glad it will be most likely answered by The Mandolorian. (Forgive my misspellings)
He's kinda too old for the part, but I always thought Jeremy Irons would have made a badass Thrawn.

Favreau and Filoni should have written, directed and produced Episodes 7-9. I think you would have seen a far different (and more enjoyable in my opinion) trilogy worthy of the Star Wars name.

I think you’re right. Otherwise, apart from setting up a possible New Republic-Cara Dune-Din Djarin relationship, that episode was mostly just filler... in a show with eight short episodes a season; i.e. it doesn’t need filler.

I got a kick out of the cancel culture thing as well. Sooner or later, the left always turns on itself.
As for the egg-eating itself, I agree that it has to have a purpose somewhere. If it doesn’t, it goes against the principle of Chekhov’s Gun: “If a gun is introduced in the first act, it must go off or be used in the second or third act.” (Yes, I’m a theater geek and used to act and work tech theater.) Filoni and crew would know that principal and they don’t do things without a purpose.
Jokingly, I hope it plays out that he escaped the temple and took refuge on Naboo and ate small aquatic animals in the interim. Jar-Jar may or may not have been involved.

It could have been a segue into the Mando's involvement with the New Republic. They've danced around that for a few episodes and now you have Cara Dune actively involved with them. The Frog Lady herself was just "fluff" so to speak and the vehicle used to get into that portion of the story.
Of course, I didn't think IG-11 would play a big part other than getting blasted, so there is that. She and her family could play a much larger role than we realize.
I read a theory that the lizard lady and Grogu are from the same planet and grogu’s species are natural predators of the lizard species, or vice versa so it’s survival for grogu
Steve Shannon
12-06-20, 12:51
I’m more of the thought that it represents some kind of symbiotic relationship rather than a prey and predator relationship. Although the frog lady was shooing Grogu away it seemed more like “You’ll get sick if you eat too many” or “That’s rude!” rather than “you’re killing all my babies!” Maybe having too many eggs or even tadpoles would result in other problems.
Also, in nature some female frogs generate excess eggs which exist in an unfertilized form as food. I suspect the writers of this episode were aware of this discovery:

Yeah, well... this is the sort of "outrage" you get when half the offended haven't ever had kids, and the other half apparently didn't watch the previous season so far, whereupon 'baby yoda' acts his age by putting literally everything in his mouth...
Good Lord people are stupid. :rolleyes:
Grand58742
12-09-20, 13:04
So... there's an interesting theory going around in SW circles right now about who Baby Yoda/Grogu reached out to or rather who heard the call.
One of the theories is Mace Windu actually didn't die in Ep III as indicated (since we never saw him technically die and Jedi can survive falling from high places) and an appearance by him would make for a serious plot twist especially given the Boba Fett tie in.
There is some supporting circumstantial evidence involved here. Yoda got his ass kicked in ROTS and fell down the Senate chambers, Darth Maul got cut in half and dropped like 50 stories and survived in TPM, of course Luke falling in ESB for a good while before getting sucked into that air intake and Akakin dropped through traffic before landing on the speeder in AOTC after a significant fall.
So, not unknown for Jedi/Sith to fall great distances and still survive. It is plausible. Everyone is expecting Ezra Bridger to pop up especially after the Ahsoka tie in along with Grand Admiral Thrawn being mentioned. I'm not sure they would expect a Mace Windu to pop up...
MountainRaven
12-09-20, 21:17
I wonder if Windu is the one who exfiltrated Grogu from the Jedi Temple: Got defenestrated, went to return to the Jedi Temple to warn them about Palps, but Anakin and the 501st had already begun their assault, so he went in and saved what he could and got out; Sent Grogu off into the great unknown trusting to the Force to protect him until a new generation of Jedi could arise, find him, and resume his training.
And if there was a faction of the Jedi who believed Grogu was the Chosen One and Windu belonged to that faction... might be a political reason on top of personal reasons for him to have distrusted/disliked Anakin. Grogu's existence might have only been known to the Masters on the Jedi Council, as well, hence why they were not too keen on making Anakin a Master... on top of pushing back on Palpatine trying to force the Jedi to make Anakin a Jedi Master.

The Mandalorian is everything the sequels should have been. I am operating under the theory that nothing in the sequels ever happened. They are nothing but a horrible hallucination / dream that Han Solo experienced while frozen in carbonite.

Yeah, I definitely feel like it would have been forgivable to milk that entire story arc for one or two more seasons by adding some extra characters, developing some alliances, and all that in order to support that some major coordination would be actually be required to pull off that last episode. I guess it seems rushed when Disney could have comfortably raked in cash making it somewhat deeper and more consistently paced with the same overall story arc in mind.

If they can do that on a consistent basis they're rake in the cash from us Gen X'ers for the next twenty years. I'm looking forward to The Book of Boba Fett. Hopefully they do that one as well as this one.

I guess I'm in the obvious minority in that I'd have been extremely happy for them to go a lot slower with the plot development, really lean on the forshadowing going forward, and find opportunities to create fun side stories that can really grow the overall IP with options over the decades.
Like you said, when they get it right, they get it right, but that involves taking risks, and some of the time those risks won't pan out, and they'll just create lame content, so you want a wider universe to do that in. For my part, I love the impression that there IS a wider galaxy that all of these things are taking part in, and it's not just some multi-decade soap opera about a few space wizard families that somehow end up wielding power over a galactic scale logistics train.

Going to add this here since The Book of Boba Fett has kinda turned into Mandalorian Season 2.5 the last couple of episodes.
DON'T READ FURTHER FOR MINOR SPOILERS!!!!
I will say this without giving much away, if anyone who calls themselves a Star Wars fan didn't completely and utterly geek out at Episode 6 of Boba Fett, there really isn't much hope for you. All kinds of questions answered about if Luke & Ahsoka met in the aftermath of ROTJ, the fate of Cad Bane post Clone Wars and the beginnings of the new Jedi Order in one episode.
As well as an emotional moment with Grogu (Baby Yoda) with throwbacks to Order 66. And the choice he has to make...
They set up the Ahsoka series just a bit with that episode as well. You know she's still going after Thrawn.
I had a complete and utter Leo Pointing Meme moment when I saw the outline of the hat coming in the distance in the last scenes. I'll give Filoni serious credit for bringing in already established and fan favorite characters at just the right moment.

SPOILERS:
I’m a big Star Wars fan and Boba has always been my favorite character. That’s my problem with this show. It was supposed to be about Boba Fett and we haven’t seen him do anything in 2 episodes.
The first 4 episodes were pretty slow in the present day scenes. Boba looks incompetent and weak, with Fennec having to do all the heavy lifting. In fact, Boba seams completely different than how he was in the last Mandalorian season which was only a short time before this show picks up. The scooter kids in Ep3 were terrible as was the chase scene at the end.
So far I’m extremely disappointed. I think if Pedro Pascal wasn’t busy filming other shows they would not have made this.
Episode 6 was too much fan service. We didn’t need to see the Luke scenes. They should have saved that for the Mandalorian S3. Maybe Luke will show up in the finale but I hope not. I just want to see Boba put his damn helmet on and start kicking some ass.
Spoilers galore.
It's retarded. Bobba Fett now being the ruler and strutting around in full kit... Imagine a Marine or Soldier seizing power and then strutting around town in full armor with helmet, weapons and rucksack like he just got separated from a patrol.
The scooter/mods look like they escaped from failed sci fy channel movie event, the townspeople from a bad Star Trek spin-off...to make up for this we also get Raylan Givens and standard issue Danny Trejo.
Bobba seems slow witted and incompetent. I figured this was simply an extension of his inept actions in the first movies, that landed him in the Sarlac pit. He has a talent for survival, that's it. The Dream sequences of his life among the Sandpeople has been the only enjoyable part so far, so that had to go.
More baby Yoda?!? Someone shoot me now... It's a Jar-Jar without the speaking roles.
Trying to decide if they found a Luke lookalike or a bunch of whizbang CGI. Hes going to have quite the grumpy face after this Yoda thing bails on his Jedi school.
Being force fed two episodes of The Mandolarian was sort of annoying but I didn't mind the Naboo starfighter/hotroding bit, despite the goofy V-8 sounds and goofy shakey generic air cleaner thingy.
Of course all he does is want his "razorcrest"/Winnebago back. I guess I'd be bummed if I lost my intergalactic jackshack too.
The Mandolarian duel was full of stupid too, there's only 3 left, sooo let's have two of them duel to the death over this super sword(dumb thing).... Then stop one short of killing the other(smart thing) Immediately apply a purity test to the victor, then banishing him as a result. (Back to dumb)...so now theres only 2 to carry on....way to go Mandolarians. Republicans at heart. This is the way lol

Disney has totally screwed up Star Wars. The only things that they have gotten right since they acquired the franchise have been Rogue One and The Mandalorian. The only reason they got Rogue One right is because the story line had to mesh with New Hope's story line. The Mandalorian works because it's a new character which gives the writers more freedom than a preexisting character arc does.
Disney has totally ruined Boba Fett. Boba has gone from a mysterious and sometimes shady loner who had no qualms working for the Empire into a benevolent uncle who now wants to clean up the town.
Disney missed a great opportunity when they brought Boba back in The Mandalorian. Boba should have been turned into Mando's ultimate antagonist, but instead we get the kindly uncle.

Disney has totally screwed up Star Wars. The only things that they have gotten right since they acquired the franchise have been Rogue One and The Mandalorian. The only reason they got Rogue One right is because the story line had to mesh with New Hope's story line. The Mandalorian works because it's a new character which gives the writers more freedom than a preexisting character arc does.
Disney has totally ruined Boba Fett. Boba has gone from a mysterious and sometimes shady loner who had no qualms working for the Empire into a benevolent uncle who now wants to clean up the town.

I tend to think Boba went full badazz in this last episode.

Guess you could say he was out of his element when starting as a son of a storm trooper clone - father leaving - hating jedis to becoming a bounty hunter - escaping slow death - prisoner to sand people where he finds his humanity - earning his freedom - losing the ones he loved - to taking over as a crime boss/protector of the city.
Yeah the biker gang kids are lame. Was curious how they did the young Luke Skywalker. Pretty sure it was a look a like with Mark Hamell doing the voice. Gives a little segway to Osaka's story and when she comes out in her own serirs, she will most likely meet up with baby yoda again and do some training with him since Luke gave him an ultimatum. They have to find a way to make all the stories intertwine.

Hamill didn't do the voice work. They used a voice synthesizer called Respeecher. It's basically an audio equivalent to the video software Deep Fakes. They feed into the program previous samples of the person's voice that they're wanting to emulate, and the program will generate a totally new dialog. The only issue is that the program doesn't always get the pacing of the dialog and the inflection correct which can cause the dialog to sound robotic at times.

Pretty crazy. I noticed they didn't show his face alot while talking. That cgi was pretty real looking if it was not a real person.

It was funny this morning my wife and I were watching the last episodes of boba fett and I was like wow the CGI did an amazing job mimicking hamills terrible acting. Then she looked it up and we were both surprised about the voice synthesizer and hamill having no part of any of it. Kind of scary what they can do anymore really.
