Locked THE MANDALORIAN Season 1

[KnightTemplar]

Over / Under on whether they cue up Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi during this scene?

He rescued a baby from ex-Imperials. The same Empire responsible for the Great Purge. Even a large quantity of Beskar wasn't enough to justify working for ex-Empire officers, at least as far as the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian was concerned.

They probably like Mando a lot more now: he not only got the Beskar but fucked over the Imperials' plan and killed a bunch of Stormtroopers

This is the way!

I think a mistake they are making here is 7 day's between episodes. These are short 30 minute segments. I can see 4 or 5 days, but 7 is too long.

I think the strategy is to build up good will and excitement in the run up to ROTS' launch. However, this may actually end up backfiring on them and Skywalker might look even worse by comparison.

Back in my day that was normal.

The Mandalorians are also, at least in the EU, extremely connected to the idea of culture and family and loyalty. So even though they might disapprove they wouldn't let dude die. Plus that makes them all look bad if he dies and someone takes his armor or something

Reminds me of a certain family throwing in the towel so their boy didn't officially lose by submission.

A Mando losing would damage their reputation and income.

This show has a 9.1 rating on IMDB with 33K votes. I guess most people like this show.

Maybe it's time for me to check it out.

One month subscription starting this Fri would take you til season finale 12/27, I think. There's also one week free trial.

Cara Dune...next episode!

Sure, but still, mandalorians were people of honor and abiding to the code, no? And since majority of them are mercenaries and bounty hunters, this action takes away a large chunk of their income...

It was still a cool scene, though.

They're heavily implying that Mando was the only bounty hunter in that cell... as Creed only refer to him as "The Mandalorian." Like if there were 2 of them working, what would they call the other one. The client also commented on how hard it is to find a Mandalorian.

That's fine but he still broke the rules and made the Mandos less profitable and respected

The client had some fucking nerve paying a Mandalorian in the Beskar that they stole from the Mandalorians after an attack so bad they named it "The Purge."

There's a sweet justice in him getting the reward & then stealing back the asset. Mr. Jarren just upped his stock in a big way in Mando society.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they punished him internally

For stealing from the people who dared pay them in the currency they stole from the Mandalorians to begin with, that only raises his stock within the group. Paz Vizla is Dyn's best friend now..

A Mando losing would damage their reputation and income.

& think about how bad ass the story will be when it's told now. People will tell how they pinned down a Mandalorian & the next thing they knew there were Mando's everywhere & very few of the bounty hunters survived. Bet people will think twice before going after a Mando next time. They'll put that marker right back in their pocket & order another drink instead of engaging.

Well said... The dynamic of paying for services with what you stole from them to begin with is some Jawa level sheet. They were pretty much begging for an ass whooping.

Kinda what I thought. They really drove home the point of the Mandalorians hating the Empire so I doubt they’re gonna get too upset about him fucking up whatever plan they had.

 

[D Train]

That's fine but he still broke the rules and made the Mandos less profitable and respected

So in ep 4 should he be punished despite being saved?

Aw, no I guess not cause other Mando gave the guy a salute in the air

I don’t think the Mandos give a single F about profitability or respect. Even relocating to a new home didn’t seem to be a concern. They protect their own. They survive.

I hope we get the backstory of how he joined these people soon

Mandos are aweosme

Good....good....

They'll have a hard time blaming "toxic fans" if RoS gets hated and yet Mando is one of the most watched shows...

Av was made for me by @Oku. The Force is strong with that one

This is the Way.

This is the Way.

So say we all.

 

[Lovestorm]

We need a Mandalorian game.
