That concept art under the credits is awesome. I wouldn’t mind those paintings being gathered into a book.

That is frankly amazing to have a huge led back drop displayed in a huge circular room and then have the entire setting photographed with actors is the next step forward in CGI.
I’ve started the Mandalorian and am almost finished with it... it’s not that hard, 8- thirty minute episodes, and I’m half way through.
My critique so far: 😘
My critique so far: 😘
- The story is good, production values are high, it pulled me in.
- Very Star Warzy, a lot of signature hooks, except for one thing, they went cheap on music that’s monotonous, fairly horrible, and is a negative for a SW product. I’m not demanding the exact same music as the movies, but that Duh-Duda-Da Repeat, action music real cheapens the whole endeavor.
- It’s a joke to call this a season, it’s hardly a mini- series, less than half what a typical cable series offers, basically the equivalent of 4- 1 hour episodes.
- I want to see his face!!
Finished Season 1, the good parts from Episode 5 on:
And I think 30 minute episodes hinder story telling. The Tatooine Episode besides being nostalgic, about the bounty for the sniper was a throw away side story in a season that can’t afford to stray from the main story line. I’d like to see better scripts and acting. 😕 After a while, listening to that monotone delivery gets old. Maybe Season 2 will be longer and better.
- Tatooine
- The Mos Eisley Bar.
- Jawas- not on Tatooine.
- Sand People
- I saw his face, but he looks quite a bit older from his GoT days. Of course he was not in the best shape when he removed it.

I think it's done on purpose; this series is not about storytelling as GoT or most series would be. It's a lightweight series, aimed at entertaining only, without much deep meaning or deep characters. It's a space-western show, with a very light main plot arc, and self-contained episodes. I think that in an era of amazing TV shows this is also a breath of fresh air, not dissimilar to what Cobra Kai (another amazing light TV series) is. I think it also aims to catch all the peripherical SW viewers. I watched E1,2,3,4,5,6,7. I obviously like E4,5,6 a lot, barely tolerate E1-3, and couldn't stand E7 (I will watch E8 and E9 sooner or later). My wife doesn't really like SW. Yet, both of us fell in love with The Mandalorian. Same goes for my kids, and many of our friends who know about SW, may watch the movies but are not that into the lore.
Plus... baby yoda.

Where did she get that? Have one I must!
We got it at Box Lunch. I think Disney sells it online.
Well, content is content, 1 hour episodes would be better IMO, but that would mean more of a commitment on Disney’s part. It’s my position, you just can’t accomplish that much in 30 min.I think it's done on purpose; this series is not about storytelling as GoT or most series would be.

Considering that a LOT of series, even those with only 10 1 hour episodes, manage to cram half the season with “filler” episodes, i will say that sometimes only getting straight to the point is much better.Well, content is content, 1 hour episodes would be better IMO, but that would mean more of a commitment on Disney’s part.

MY wife pointed me to a baby Yoda toy from Disney on Amazon. We bought it and within minutes it was sold out. Yeehaw. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it... damn.
Oh hell yes. Can't wait to watch these episodes.

Outstanding!!! Thank you for posting this... I too can't wait to see these. I am hoping the new season isn't delayed too much given everything that is going on right now.
I just bought a Mandalorian t-shirt yesterday
I will definitely watch this!As for the series, I am fine with a delay, even substantial. I'd rather have them do a good product than rush out to meet $$$ deadlines.

Oh I agree completely. From my understanding, the majority, if not all of the next season was shot and they were in post production when everything started to hit!!!
That is ok, I see you shirt, and raise you "The Child" from SideShow Collectables!
Of course this is "really" for the wife!!! That is my line and I am sticking to it!!!That is ok, I see you shirt, and raise you "The Child" from SideShow Collectables!
Same here my friend. Same here. "A Christmas present for you, my dear love."
I will wait on the reviews to see if I actually buy it.
LOL... Exactly!!! But of course it will look really good right here in the office slash display room that I am putting together!
Of course, it will remind you of the love for your wife, right?
They didn't have the "parody trailer" part when I saw it listed and got excited.
Looks like we'll be getting season two without delays.
