And that we'd get a Krayt Dragon? Also, some random dude showed up at the end. Pretty sure he's not important, we've never met him, and he probably doesn't have any connection to any character we know, like say Han Solo. Edited October 30, 2020 by Jediknight 3 5 Link to comment

Anduin October 30, 2020 Share October 30, 2020 I do love a good ballista. And the visual of the Tuskens arriving on banthas was my favourite. Hey, R5-D4. Looks like he got some work done in the last few years. Favreau has clearly played KOTOR. That was the strategy for taking down the krayt dragon. Mine the entrance. Furthermore, the dragon pearl. Though there it was small enough to fit in a lightsabre hilt. When the mines didn't do the job, my first thought was a poisoned or explosive bantha. Down the throat is always a fun trope. Finally, the Tusken rifles reminded me of the Afghan jezail. Not identical, but reminded me of. Given that they were used for similar purpose, to fire down from cliffs, I suspect that's deliberate. 5 Link to comment

thuganomics85 October 30, 2020 Share October 30, 2020 The Mandalorian is back and continuing to show that apparently mixing the western genre with Star Wars is a recipe for success! Knowing that Timothy Olyphant was going to be showing up this season, as soon as I saw that this episode was titled The Marshal, I figured it was going to be him, because, really, who other than Olyphant could pull off a marshal in a small, dangerous town, in the outer rim of Tatooine? Complete with him unknowingly cosplaying as Boba Fett?! Great appearance, and I hope we see him again. Apparently he wasn't the only former Deadwood alumni here, because according to IMDB, W. Earl Brown was playing the alien bartender. Thought his voice sounded familiar! Liked how they worked in the Tusken Raiders here and seeing more of their culture and way of life. One of the many things I've been enjoying about this series is seeing some of the smaller aspects and alien species get bigger roles heres. While I understand Mando not wanting Baby Yoda out of his sight anymore, that poor kid is certainly learning quickly about the dark side of life! I figured there was going to be a final surprise at the end, but the reveal of Temuera Morrison's character was still cool. Since he notably played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, the safe bet is that he is going to end up being a still alive Boba, unless he's playing one of the former clones for some reason. Glad that the show is back and can't wait to see more wacky adventure of the bounty hunter dad and his alien child! 11 Link to comment

Instead of the Flying Dutchman, he is the Wandering Marshal. I forgot hearing that Timothy Olyphant would be here, so I straight up cheered and laughed when he pulled his helmet off. I never knew I needed a crossover between Star Wars and Deadwood, but it turns out I did. Great start to the new season, very happy to have this show back. More exciting adventures of our favorite armored space bounty hunter and his super adorable alien baby! Like I said, it was great seeing Timothy Olyphant, he of course fits right into a space western, and I do love how this show takes many of the stock western plots and adds new science fiction elements to them, this was a ton of fun. It was really cool learning more about the Tusken Raiders, and the Raiders and everyone else who lives on Tatooine making peace is a pretty big deal. And all it took was a super cool looking carnivorous sand dragon... Nice seeing Peli again, and that Mando is still moving past his hatred of droids after IG-11 sacrificed himself to save everyone. Who could hate those cute little metal goobers? I can understand that Mando never wants to let the baby out of his sight, but maybe he should start looking up babysitting services when he is going to super sketchy places to meet with sketchy people where violence is inevitably going to break out. Did a wild Boba Fett just appear? 10 Link to comment

Morrigan2575 October 31, 2020 Share October 31, 2020 Welcome back show! I should have recognized Olyphant when he was in the doorway. I knew the stance looked familiar but, couldn't place it. Good casting for The Marshall. As much as I enjoyed the opening fight sceen, I liked the way it was in the trailer, Baby Yoda closes the dome darkness with shooting sounds and then opens/lights up to Mando surrounded by dead bad guys. The Krate Dragon brought back memories of KOTOR. Still waiting for HK-47 to show up in something. 1 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom October 31, 2020 Author Share October 31, 2020 I had totally blanked that Timothy Olyphant was on this season, so when the Marshal was standing in the doorway, I thought, hmm, they should have gotten Timothy Olyphant, I'm really getting that vibe from this guy.... As far as taking the Child with him - well, that's a big part of the reason that so many people watch, so if he just left him behind, we wouldn't have the cute little moments where he's all big eyed at someone getting eaten by a krayt dragon... 8 Link to comment

SnoGirl October 31, 2020 Share October 31, 2020 (edited) Happy Mandoween! What a great episode. I am so happy episodes are only dropping once a week. Loved Timothy Olyphant. Like, PLEASE bring him back. Holy silver fox Batman. Loved him going “one moment” when the dragon rolled into town. I wonder how many times Din worked with the Tusken Raiders previous to the things we’ve seen before with them and Din. He’s not using real ASL sign language right as the Tusken language? This is just made up hand signals right? I also loved the opener. I was wondering if they showed so much of that fight in the trailers because it was in the first episode. I kinda wish they would drop the planet or moon name of this place. Loved the graffiti, the fight house and the wild weird animals at the end. I have been WAITING for a punch to the helmet so I was laughing with joy throughout the fight. Sooooo, how far into Star Wars can we speculate with that ending? Can we refer to other shows like Rebels or Clone Wars too or do we have to spoil/hide it? Because Temuera Morrison could be Fett. Or he could be Spoiler Any of the surviving clones right? I mean Fett seems like the super obvious answer. But what if he’s Cody?! I mean Kanan talked about in Rebels how the Clones “claimed” they had the chips and they were turned on which means at some point the story got out about Order 66 and possibly the Clones were able to escape their Clone life post Order 66. The way Kanan stated it really seemed that way. Or was Temuera looking too young? Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor looked pretty old in Rebels. And we know Rex fought at Endor.

Dude is aging wonderfully. He's clearly getting typecast a bit but he plays these kind of character types so well, and still makes it feel fairly fresh, that I certainly don't mind. Maybe give him a spinoff and cast Walton Goggins in it, basically what I'm saying is just give me Space Justified lol (and I'm only slightly joking about this).

I understand Mando not letting the kid out of his sight. And the kid is adapting to Mando's -ahem- lifestyle, the moment he noticed the whistling birds activating, he knew what to do, he! (And of course having the kid around in all those dangerous scenes keeps the audience on edge because we all wait for him 'to do the hand thing'.) 9 Link to comment

As the tribe approached the town, I felt like I could hear Ben Kenobi in my head, "Sand people always ride single file to hide their numbers." And they did. I loved that.

But sand worms! Does every desert planet in every universe have sand worms!? Frank Herbert has much to answer for. Liked seeing Mando softening on droids. Just before we watched the new episode, we watched the last 3 eppys of season 1, so the sacrifice of IG-11 was fresh in our minds. I'm glad that affected Mando as much as it did us! I almost thought Mando was going to break his code at the end and let the Marshal keep the armor. But no, some things are sacrosanct, apparently. The production values on this show are truly wonderful. The visuals are consistently spectacular. Disney is sparing no expense and it shows. 9 Link to comment
