I believe he never takes the helmet off.

Already 1000% better than that damned Judge Dredd movie Stalllone did.  :)

But is it a 'he'? It seemed quite a lithe and supple physique was under that armour.

It does look tremendous!

I reckon Star Wars is always better when it sticks to its roots in samurai films and Westerns (roots that are inter-tangled anyway) and leaves out the Force and the Jedi.

After seeing Solo again, I continue to think that it's the best of the recent films precisely because it does that (and also because it has a clear and fairly coherent plot). But The Mandalorian looks like it could far surpass it in the same vein. Fingers crossed ...

I was hoping for diet tips and a yoga programme.

Proper trailer has dropped. Looks bloody fantastic  :D

Loads of gaming inspiration just from the trailer alone  ;D

Please leave any whinging or personal agendas at the door or take it elsewhere.


I’ve not had much bad to say about the new movies, I like the one-offs more than the series continuances; this series has me definitely wanting to sign up for Disney Streaming. It looks awesome.

I mean, Boba Fett always looked cool but really what did he do?
Got hired by Jabba to capture Solo, double dipped with the Empire for the same, didn’t actually capture Solo but let Vader do it, spent time vacationing on Tatooine and died.  Where does the reputation come from?

Looks good, feels like he's channeling Mifune(which is a good thing).

Yes, sir!

Looks really good and right in the same spirit that made Rogue One and Solo great. New stories in the Star Wars universe!

Rogue One and Solo had links to the original 4-6 movies. I wonder if this one will tie into any of them. I kind of hope it is one purely by itself and has no links whatsoever, perhaps a few "oh" moments but not a big giant, "this is why this happened" storyline.

I hope so too. All the films since the original trilogy have suffered a bit from those sort of contortions, though Rogue One and Solo handled them better.

If this is set on far-away worlds with plots that are inconsequential on the galactic scale, it'll be the better for it, I reckon.

I do have high Hope's though. I think rogue one may be my favourite of these films. Must watch solo again.
