I am watching ep 2 for like the 3rd time, and this score is so amazing. Also baby Yoda needs to be in everything now. I like to sing "baby yoda" along to the music.
"Baby yoooda baby yooooooda"
"Baby yoooda baby yooooooda"

He's not actually Yoda. His species has no name so we all refer to them as Yodas. Yaddle was also a Yoda
Wasn't Disney at one point, years ago, considering a Yoda origin movie? I wonder if they took that basic concept and reworked it here with Yodel?
These episodes are criminally and comically short, but I could watch baby Yoda stare off camera with beautiful backdrops and lighting forever.
That's a good point as well! I think what I said still stands (the character would probably not offer anything), but I also think you're right and point out something fundamental about my original response: there's no need to justify a character's lack of inclusion in a universe as big as Star Wars.
More like the main quest since he needs to get out from planets to progress story.
Because the show has done a very poor job of providing any wider context for the story.
i believe do live on other planets, mostly desert planets
they had the mando straight say the empire is gone
Ep 2 was perfect. Man I love this show.
The most impressive thing is how much it nails the same vibe as the original trilogy. It has the same sort of light-hearted, but still high stakes, action going on, and the same look and stuff. And best of all it doesn't feel the need to overexplain itself--the minimal dialog really compliments it all.

Baby Yoda is gonna do some crazy force stuff eventually and it's gonna be awesome.... Or it'll start talking backwards
Mando is basically Yoshi escorting baby Mario heh

👍👍👍👍
Or you (and others) just weren't really paying attention.
It is pretty much a spaghetti western in space, leaning heavily into Lone Wolf and Cub. This is my new favorite shit. Loving it so much.
It established that baby Yoda is a powerful Force user, and served to establish a bond between Mando and Cub.
I do wish it was like five minutes longer though. Maybe show them arriving at some destination to set the next episode up or something.
Episode 2 was great as well. I really like the vibe of this show. Also, this soundtrack is so good.
LOL YES!
If it's popular enough, sure. I would say probably 12-18 months after the finale if they do it. Disney put some (all?) of those Marvel shows on Blu Ray.
No.Because that's dumb.
Right there with ya.
Wish they put out the whole season at once.
That's what i'm hoping.
By the way, the helper alien is Nick Nolte. They even made his character kind of look like him. He did an amazing job as a voice actor here.
Well, it's post-Empire so Yobby will be growing up throughought the sequel trilogy. Given the events so far, probably with Mando, out in the fringes of the galaxy.
I could see Yobby playing into a theoretical spinoff (of SW, not Mando) down the road somehow, but I don't think the movies will ever acknowledge its existence, outside of maybe a brief nod.
Bullshit. There were like 5 references to the empire and imperial credits not working and stormtroopers in the 1st episode alone
Much better job than TFA which was basically the ANH power dynamics 30 years in the future
Not to mention the Stormtroopers that give Mando his job are literally hiding out in a building, away from the public eye. The Empire never operated like that before the fall.
I've been taking foundling to mean he was adopted into the tribe.
Kind of amazing you'd mention TFA when it has nothing to do with my comment.
But on that score, I'd argue that you're completely wrong. TFA's opening crawl instantly situates the audience about where we are in the larger narrative. And the visuals detritus of the empire's fall in the background of Jakku? No, this show has done a bad job of establishing context for where this story takes place in the mythos. I wager casual audiences would be completely at a loss for when this story takes place.
This show has already become my favorite ST thing. I mean fucking baby Yoda and a Mandalorian assault on a Jawa Sandcrawler have got to be among my favorite all time Star Wars moments I never knew I needed.
Because the TFA story directly deals with the rebellion/resistance and the empire/first order whereas here it's just a background player and largely irrelevant.
I mean maybe they figured that people wouldn't be mad stupid and can't figure out it's after ROTJ when characters mention "the fall of the empire", "imperial credits aren't worth anything to me" and show stormtroopers as a meek security force in a tucked away building.
They don't say as much, but isn't it some kind of religious rite that provides an emblem or something, made of Beskar, needed to recognise a new Mandalorian? Mando talks about it being a religion in chapter 2.
The whole Mandalorian bounty hunter thing seems to be for beskar, as much as prestige and wealth. Never heard of it before this show, and tbh it's utterly fascinating look into the whole mythos of bounty hunting in Star Wars.
Story context is never irrelevant. We're talking about how well this story orients its audience into the larger mythos. I'm arguing there is confusion from some viewers about this because the show hasn't done a proper job of explaining it. There's been some throwaway lines here and there but from a visual storytelling perspective I don't think the show has done a good job of this. It might get better as the story progresses but I'm not at all surprised that some people have had trouble placing what time period the story is set in.
I don't understand the confusion, it gets established in Episode 1, "Imperial Credits are worthless now",
then visits an old Emperial senior officer in a safe house guarded by beat-up Stormtroopers
it is clear that this is after the RoTJ , post-Empire

Nah because I think of the ST trilogy as the farewell to everything Skywalker.
Whereas I think it'd be neat if the next era of force users post TRoS could be kicked off by a baby Yoda of all things. No clue if these shows will be connected in the old Marvel style or the new Marvel style though.
So in the same scene where Mando says the empire doesn't exist. You have a room of storm troopers. Isn't good story telling ?
Why would you think it's a prequel, when it has troopers.
I think the director of ep 2 really nailed it. The way he shows how the Mandalorian fills vacuums with a kind of quiet promise of violence. It doesn't matter if it's a somber stroll in a desert or a meeting with traders - there's always that lingering knowing that shit can pop off at any moment.
