The Mandalorian Chapter 23 Spoiler Discussion

[DarthSkywalker]

The CGI crew is killing it this season.

 

[Snow Queen]

I like the ship shots arriving around Mandalore. Neat seeing the drop ship mechanic in live action too.

 

[Snow Queen]

Wait, what was the point of having everyone drop down to the surface if you're just going to land anyway?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Just so I'm clear. There were Mandos already on the planet. The hell they all stay away for?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Favs trying to white wash Nazi behavior? This is his attempt at bringing Carano back.

 

[Snow Queen]

"This blade is all I have to unify our people."

Yep, worked out very well last time you had it, Bo.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It's impressive that Mandalore looks cheaper then it did on Rebels.

 

[Sithborg]

Mecha Gizmo is amazing.

What a bypass to get around him talking.

EDIT: Greef is the uncle that gets noise making toys for their young nieces and nephews.

 

[Sithborg]

FANG FIGHTERS

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The zillo beast?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I miss the cool looking super commandos.

 

[Iceman]

IG-Grogu-Mech has a No mode too! I need one of these to respond to telesales cold callers.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Gideon: I'm the Mando in black.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I really wish they wrote Gideon interestingly. Hell, give him some decent dialogue at least.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh no. The dumbest and least interesting Mando is dead. I'm heartbroken.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Praetorian guards look so cheap.

 

[Snow Queen]

I have so little emotional investment in this guy that having this big dramatic death sequence for him feels silly.

 

[Snow Queen]

Wait, who were the spies? Why was this called The Spies? For the one scene at the beginning? That feels like a stretch.

 

[Iceman]

Are these imperials with jet packs new or already part of Star Wars lore?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I love Rick, but this episode was just so perfunctory. This is a good example of a lack of build, leading to no emotional payoff. In a way, a lot of this episode felt like the sequence before Luke arrived in the last seasons finale. Kind of soulless, storyboard material. No character, no story, no meat. I wish he was writing.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Are these imperials with jet packs new or already part of Star Wars lore?

Imperial Supercommandos are from Rebels.

 

[Snow Queen]

This show just keeps feeling like things happening at this point. Some big moments here, but it doesn't feel like the show really built any of it and so it just feels like "oh, guess that's a thing now."

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Paz Visla went out like a badass

This episode had some really cool moments but I kinda feel this is something we could have gotten like 2-3 episodes ago. Seems they really tried to stretch this season out

Nice to hear Thrawn get a mention

And Gideon’s new getup looking like Batman Beyond lol

 

[Weather Witch]

Ngl, I really liked the world-building here. Feels like the first half of a two-part finale, but I can't wait until next week! I understand why some people feel like all of this should've happened earlier. Admittedly, this show was never in a rush to get anywhere. The adventures along the way matter.

 

[Iceman]

Imperial Supercommandos are from Rebels.

Great, thanks. So many reasons to revisit TCW and Rebels!

 

[Iceman]

Red dudes incoming!

They took him down rather easily.
