nirad3 2,646 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'm sure I can get this answered from teh Googlez, and it's probably a dumb question to begin with...... but do we automatically get Disney+ with our Fire Stick, or do I have to do something magical to sign up? Footnote: I never use the Fire Stick and I hardly even watch my "big" TV in the living room, thanks to the kids and my wife .... I have an extra TV in the "office" that I watch 99.9% of the time.

DaVinci 1,968 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It started off great and it ended great, but there was a lot of bad in the middle. 1. The blurrg bronco-busting was stupid and pointless. The CGI was awful. I have spoken. 2. How much demand could there be for a taxi stand in the middle of nowhere on an ice planet? 3. Why wouldn't landspeeders on an ice planet have enclosed passenger compartments? 4. What's up with the tracker fobs? Does everyone on every planet get a tracking chip implanted at birth? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psychopav 1,130 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It looked awesome, they need to get some Star Wars background music though. It's going to be a good show.

I mentioned it in another thread (I think), but a lot of the newer streaming services have said they will go back to releasing them like shows now. They didn't like the fact that a season could take 1 1/2 to make, then they put it out and everyone watches it all in one night. Then the next day, Twitter is on fire asking when the "new" season will be out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socrates11 381 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm in. The family thoroughly enjoyed it, silly scenes and all. Very interested in learning more about the Mandalorian's and their mythology, though it seems odd that Favreau made never taking off their helmets a thing. Jango Fett didn't seem to mind taking off his helmet and having kids run around with helmets seemed off. Plus in the flashbacks of our title character it appeared both he and his parents were helmetless? Is he not a true Mandalorian? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with all of that, but I liked the feel of the show and thought it was overall good. It is like a Clint Eastwood western but in Star Wars. I think it lacks some emotional connection with not ever seeing Pascal’s facial expression, but that seems like part of the story. I am told he literally wore the suit once during the entire shoot.

Fett was not a Mandalorian. i would think Favreau would maybe use the same technique from Iron Man to connect with the character behind the mask, but I guess he wanted something different.

KarmaPolice 16,034 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 No surprise, but I appear to be in the minority here. I think it's OK, but nothing I am chomping at the bit to get the next episode for every week. I guess I had higher hopes that we would be seeing different parts of the galaxy, different planets, a lot more species etc.. to go along with this new character. Just feel like it's spinning it's wheels a bit as we rehash Tatooine and Jawas and little green jedi wizards and smart talking droids. Also a little surprised at how short these episodes are. Definitely room to expand and improve, but it hasn't completely blown my hair back yet.

It's kind of annoying me he never takes it off. I think I agree it takes away an emotional connection to the character. There are things to like of course. Nostalgia like the Jawas.
