Television THE MANDALORIAN Season 2 (Gina Carano Fired Due to Her Social Media Posts)

[Thrawn33]

Yeah I think that was the only time that was used. As Mando and crew were sneaking around the ship it seemed no one looked at that monitor

Yeah but it was so cool with the shots in black in white...(lol the CCT cameras on my last ship were in color...) to keep us guessing on who it was..

once you saw the Green Blade Though....

all Star Wars advanced tech stop at cameras lol

It's fine though. The SW Magic is back.

It's fine though. The SW Magic is back.

to a certain degree it is but I don’t think we’re gonna be seeing a lot of Luke skywalker anytime soon.

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Has anyone seen the Irishman. That was the best de-aging tech I’ve seen.

disney should’ve used that tech. They made 80 something year old Deniro look 40

I'd rate him higher than Hux.


Lars Mikkelson (Mads brother) 56 years old, is the voice actor for Thrawn on Rebels which everyone liked. There have been some mock ups of him doing the live action version. I can see it with the right effects.

@Dragonlordxxxxx do you have a fantasy cast for Thrawn??

Snoke was ruined by TLJ, same as Luke, but Luke had the OT and PT to establish him.

Imperial officer #4 that Bill Burr Blasted was better than Hux.

Ren was overrated as a villain and fell victim early to Mary Sue, losing any balls he may have had.

That's why I rank Moff Gideon higher than them.

Agree Gideon MIGHT be a better villain than Snoke/Ren/Hux but it's debatable and none are really top shelf.

Snoke started off mysterious and powerful in TFA but yeah, TLJ did him like the wizard of oz without a projector and smoke machine. At least he had cool force powers - making Mary Sue's lightsaber boomerang back and hit her in the back of the head was a nice touch.

Ren getting outdueled by untrained Mary Sue was damning for sure and his emo tantrums knocked him down another notch. But the man DID have skills. Other than to Mary Sue, he never physically loses a confrontation.

Hux. Yeah. Gets clowned by Poe over the radio. Emo like Ren but without force powers or dueling skills. OK you guys got me there and maybe Hux is worse. But Gideon still got bitch slapped and KTFOed by f'ing Gina Carano

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Not sure I agree.

They went insane when the face was revealed even though everyone knew who it was.

I felt exactly the same way, and didn't care at all that the CGI wasn't great.

They?

Dude, that crowd from the gif I posted was reacting to a goal in a soccer game. Someone edited Luke's face reveal over the screen.

Do you really huge sports bars are having huge viewing parties for The Mandolorian? During a global pandemic?

Edit - I found the clip :

 

[GSP_37]

This has been true of Star Wars since forever.

I'm in my fifties and I still remember my Star Wars toys fondly.

You know, we groan when we see the marketing in entertainment, but considering how much fun I had with the toys, that was money well spent. By my parents.

This was one of my favorite toys ever.

That thing came with 16 figures??? No way they do that now. They'd make you buy each one separately, and you'd have an extremely hard time finding them to buy.

 

[GSP_37]

*Sigh*

I hate how we are now supposed to support Disney's narrative decisions based on toy sales.

I have a feeling this isn't the last we've seen of Grogu and The Mandolorian together, and they had a plan to get them back together when they decided they should part.

Fook yeah! That's what genius George Lucas did from the first Star Wars. Get all the fans hot and bothered and give them an outlet to buy toys. At least they didn't give Mando a new color scheme each episode.

They can't just create the greatest cutest character of all time, then take him away. That's too cruel and unusual.

I have no idea how anyone thinks that. Deniro looks the same throughout the movie,even when hes supposed to be young<er> he looks 60. Only difference is someone opened photoshop and used the clone rubber or whatsitcalled thingy and erased most of the lines/creases on his face. Other that that its horrendous, they didnt account for any changes to a face, he looked like an old man with makeup. Luke looks actually young,just the animation is unfortunately 2010 computer game level.

I don't know if I got the kit that came with all the figurines, but I had all those figurines, plus more than two hundred others.

I even had a couple of dozen stormtrooper figurines.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Fook yeah! That's what genius George Lucas did from the first Star Wars.

And its was Disney's genius, or rather Kathleen Kennedy's genius, to have this monstrosity be the star of the sequel trilogy.

...because, girls aren't into Star Wars.

And stores all over the world were stuck with Rey action figures no one wanted to buy and clogged the supply chain where fans couldn't buy any new Star Wars figures because stores didn't clear out the Rey and Jyn Erso.

4 rill

 

[Hitman81]

Could this show be any more fucking formulaic? He's tasked with going to some random planet. He gets stranded. He meets a friendly local. Baby Yoda gets into trouble. He has to blast his way through some giant monster. He miraculously fixes his completely busted vehicle and escapes just in time for the credits.

Fucks sake.

In a perfect world they would have written better scripts.

I could have totally gotten behind Daisy Ridley but her character wasn't very good. She's a fine actress.

Honestly, she's almost written as as antagonist. She isn't given any struggles we can empathize with and gets more and more powerful without earning it. There's never a reason to care about her, we're never invested in her success.

She's so arrogant throughout it would have lent itself to a believable turn to the dark side.

Imagine Luke hadn't died in the second film and instead had to return to defeat her and Kylo and save the galaxy in the third.

I think you meant "more" formulaic.

Jyn Erso had a couple of inconsistencies in how her character was developed but in general I really liked her.

Spoiler: And it isn't just because she's so hot
