Hollywood1892 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It was a really good episode 3... Since this is strictly a thread about the show coming up and not actually what has been taking place in the show, should we not have a spoiler thread? 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like most epic war scenes where the heroes seem trapped against inescapable odds. I'm not sure why people think it is a western? Because there isnt alot of grass? I agree that it has a slight western feel to it, but it has spaceships. Westerns are a genre, a time piece. This is a really awesome show. 1950's war comics and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone gunfighter hero or antihero roaming the wastelands moving from town to town with purpose. (Very basic description. The genre also gives you a unique feeling that you are not watching a traditional Western popularized by the likes of John Wayne). The most well-known in the genre is The Man with No Name trilogy with Clint Eastwood which you can see shades of in the Mandalorian. media_junkie, Bosco685 and Hollywood1892 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no ignoring this. Now what the future episodes bring may change that show atmosphere. But the last three episodes set that stage strongly. Especially that small town fight environment. bentbryan and Buzzetta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Best Buy has pre-orders up of the Heavy Mandalorian Trooper (Paz Vizla) right now. Orders have seemed to be off an on but If it's like other Mandalorian stuff I suspect this will completely sell out soon. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/star-wars-the-black-series-heavy-infantry-mandalorian-deluxe-action-figure/6359122.p?skuId=6359122 Edited November 25, 2019 by Rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhamlau Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It’s so good...I know Disney of course will find some spectacular way to ruin it, I’m just hoping they hold off til at least the end of the season. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 At least something good came of my redundant thread. This show is so good I have a feeling this thread will have some staying power, so to have it named correctly will pay dividends for months to come... Dumb question I’m sure but I just got Disney+. There are more episodes (Chapters) coming right? If so does anyone know how many? Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely... the third episode was an homage to each of the greatest scenes from the the Dollars trilogy. Even the way Mando carries himself to his name suggests the influence. He doesn’t speak much. He moves with swagger. In dollars, Eastwood was referred to as “Joe” “Blondie” “Manco”... on this show they call him “Mando”. i am Living this show especially because the dollars trilogy is possibly one of my most enjoyed set of films ever produced. I see a lot of influence here. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Episodes 2 and 3 were absolutely great. Better than the first one for me. Even with that eye rolling moment with the flying salute. Just going to pretend that didn’t happen. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bumped the episode schedule just recently so everyone was aware. Give me just a moment. Foley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. The binge thing had some fun times. But for the most part you feel left hanging afterwards waiting for that next season because you received the full season in one large drop. And if you watched them rather quickly, that only adds to the feeling of potential dissatisfaction. media_junkie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I never be satisfied!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
