Some of the makeup looks cheap

The only thing that really stood out to me as bad was that triangle headed thing in the cage in chapter 1. It looked like a really cheap muppet. And the creature on the rotisserie wasnt much better.

But thats a minor quibble. At least it wasnt a semi prominent character like Nien Nnub in Jedi. Hes always driven me nuts.

What is up with Disney keeping having settings exactly like Tattooine but isn't?

I hope this series becomes available on Blu ray. It will be a first day purchase for me. I still am not completely comfortable with streaming “purchase”, or “purchasing” access to something. I will want discs for it next to the rest of my Star Wars collection.

I think they may. They still have the Disney Movie Club, which sells DVDs, blu-rays and 4k discs. They haven't slowed down with adding new titles to disc - Endgame, according to The-Numbers.com grossed an additional $65 million on blu-ray. Not much in the grand total of $2+ billion, but not insignificant either. Most movies would kill for an extra $65M.

That's the creature that Salacious Crumb (from Return of the Jedi) is, and he looked like a Muppet in ROTJ, as did most of the creatures in Jabba's Palace, which is why ROTJ isn't a fitting ending to SW and ESB. BTW, I suppose it is possible that thing in the cage was Salacious Crumb, having survived the destruction of Jabba's sail barge.

I still think it would have been hilarious if he was actually a massive Star Wars fan. "People don't this but every year I go to Comic Con dressed as a 501st Stormtrooper."

Maybe he is and he just likes jerking around interviewers!

 

[Philip Verdieck]

Shit, that was Nolte?!

He has not aged well

more recent

 

[Philip Verdieck]

Nope. It's Arvala-7, a planet which we haven't seen or heard about up to now.

Also, I knew Kuiil was familiar. Aside from being Nick Nolte's voice, he's an Ugnaught.

One of the things I'm having a problem with it not seeing the Maldalorian's face. We, as an audience, can infer and understand a whole lot more about someone using facial expressions or a non-vocal smirk or an eye roll than we can with just a voice. I know the lack of facial expressions means the voice work and body movements are so much more important...it's just something I noticed in Chapter 2.

I thought the Ugnaughts were a little bit different in the face, even more piggish. Weren't there Ugnaughts in Jabbas guard force? Or maybe its the height, where they were definitely taller in RoTJ, if I have the race correct.

The green guys from Jabba's palace are Gamorrean. Ugnaughts are the shorter "builder/scavenger" types from Cloud City in TESB. They toss 3PO's head around.

About all my students were wanting to talk about this morning at school was BABY YODA. It was quite interesting.

Not that you're wrong but a fun fact is that there is also an Ugnaught in the background of Jabba's sail barge. I assume it's in that movie simply because they still had the mask laying around at ILM and they shipped it off to London for Return Of The Jedi.

Even further down that rabbit hole, per Wookiepedia, his name is Yoxgit...AND he is supposedly the same Ugnaught from Cloud City.

Small galaxy.

And that's not even an Expanded Universe thing- it's actually canon!

It struck me that the narrative structure for The Mandalorean is the same as a video game. Chapter 2 was a fetch quest with a mini-boss fight. Baby Yoda is an NPC you have to protect (although it follows without prompting and generally stays out of trouble).

Also his armor upgrade in ep 1.

 

[Philip Verdieck]

Thanks for the corrections.

On a whim, I put on Ep IV Sunday. So Monday was Ep V. I will go through all of them in some sequence. Time for a refresher.

What was also very interesting, on Saturday I put on a youtube of Mandalorian history. It was pretty comprehensive, starting from thousands of years back in ST history.
