The Mandalorian - Spoilers thread

[OSHIROmodels]

For those that have seen it or that can’t wait, here’s the place for the Mandalorian discussion.

Spoil away

I think there is a joy to it that’s nice to see.

They aren’t trying to prove anything. Just having some fun.

The IG droid is there for no purpose other than to be cool, and the whole bit with the sandcrawler is there largely just to play with a sand crawler.

It’s good stuff.

[Mr Tough Guy]

Think IG-11 was the best thing of the series so far, after seeing him in action, I would love to see more, or even better see something focused on IG-88

[Dezmond]

The way IG-11 wobbles a bit at the end of each move like cheap animatronics is genius.

The kind of sight gag you can’t just put in a script.

It shows there is creative vision is what I am saying. Someone wanted the droid to look and move like that. It’s why he’s there.

If they can keep on doing the live action samurai jack thing I am very much down for it.

[mcfonz]

So far so good. Like a Spaghetti western.

I think some of the hype is a bit unwarranted. It is good, but it's not amazingly so, not that it needs to be.

I got a real Samurai Jack Vibe as well.

[Jagannath]

My favourite genre is ‘Sci Fi Western but Not Naff’ which is really difficult to define. I don’t want robots in cowboy hats, but I do want robots that feel like cowboys. These two episodes have been some of my favourite star wars things ever. It’s daft and I love it.

[AWu]

I was really sad that IG gone down. I liked that panicky and conciliatory droid a lot.

And I agree mood is great.

I am a little let down by mid episode (act 2?). in both there was slow down and monster of the week fight.
While I am ok with slowdowns I dont like monster of the wek approach. Would prefer mercenary enemy of the week or something non combat at all

But overall i really like the vive
And I like  characters silence

Anyone else get a Indiana Jones vibe when he was trying to get on the sandcrawler? Loved the Jawas in episode 2.

"I have spoken" 

[gamer Mac]

Really enjoying it so far
Am I the only one who liked to see the Jawas getting their just deserts

"I have spoken" 

I got several vibes from it.

The Big Country when James McKay tames a cranky old horse is an example. There are others too.

The Jawas in episode 2 were good, but it was a horrible plot for that one. Not good. I didn't like how easily they became favourable after having so many of their number slaughtered.

[has.been]

Watched episodes 1 & 2 last night with the wife. We both enjoyed it, though I was
studying the scenery. Will definitely watch more. 'That is acceptable'

[Dr Mathias]

Nope, little devils deserved what they got

I have to say that I really like this show so far.

[Grumpy Gnome]

If you do not mind spoilers Angry Joe does good reviews of the episodes.

Mando shot the guy right in the beskar steel.

Good flex.

And the guy flying on the jet pack next to the ship at the end.

I really do get the impression they are having a lot of fun with this.
