The Mandalorian Chapter 17 Spoiler Discussion

He doesn't think he's a pet. He's probably trying to eat him.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

LOL, source? He said three things to Variety to clarify: as long as we experienced it in real time, more then one, sometime between 0-2 years. Time between Mando ending and that BOBF episode would be a year, a month, and a bit.



If it's like real-time, Grogu being back with Mando for just over a year makes sense though. We can also safely put the time jumps back after the season.

So, season 1 in 9ABY (2019) to season 3 in 13ABY (2023) then?

I thought the first season was 5 ABY, or has this changed again?

Swamp Thing... they finally did it. They purchased DC.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They are having all the adventures in the first episode.

Bo... she might be a terrible leader, but she's amazing at aging.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

His cult... or your lovers?

What happened to her hair? It's somehow a worse wig.

 

[Snow Queen]

Enjoyable episode and Rick Famuyiwa directed the hell out of it. The setup for this season is very compelling to me, so I hope they pull it off well.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Rick! He really has moved up, doing the premiere.

Weird ending. Felt like half an episode. But so much fun.

 

[Weather Witch]

Five years after Return of the Jedi, which puts it in 9 ABY.

This was a damn good premiere and I’m glad it’s back.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Solid premiere

The opening scene was pretty badass with the Mandalorians trying to take down that giant dinosaur crocodile looking creature

Didn’t expect IG-11 to be brought back

Funny seeing all the Kowakian monkey lizards hanging out and Babu Frick & his buddies. Babu was one of the very few things I liked about the sequel trilogy

 

[Slick]

Nice seeing Branden Wayne and Lateef Crowder in the cast credits. Well deserved.

Solid premiere, but I must say, I prefer when Rick also writes the episodes he directs, because this episode had Favreau written ALL over it, imo, from the obligatory "let's fight a giant monster" scene to the gearhead bits. And Favreau's writing for this show is just too surface-y and...not my fave.

Also can tell Ludwig's not doing the music. The themes are there, but the style is different. Not necessarily in a bad way, just different.

But Rick directed the hell out of it, and I enjoyed the setup for the season. Always happy to see Bo. Sitting there, dramatically. And maybe hints that Din might yet someday be de-radicalized. Also getting IG11 back is a pleasant surprise.

And Grogu definitely saw Babu Frick as food, not a pet.

I did not realize they hadn't been credited up to this point. Good to see this error corrected.

Rick's stories care about the characters and ask them questions. Favs... not as much.

On the plus side, according to wiki Rick has three episodes this year. Most of anyone yet. Including what I will assume is a two part finale. Not listed as a writer, but I get the feeling he might have more input there.

Dave Filoni is also co-writing two episodes this season and Noah Kloor is co-writing one as well. That's more episodes where Favreau hasn't gotten full single credit than any other season so far.

Art:

I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get a screencap without credits.

This was a fun episode. I genuinely love that the pirate actually said "avast". It's ridiculous and that's what I'm here for. Though there is still a bit too much of

1. Go to Point A.
2. Have a conversation that directs them to Point B.
3. Have an obligatory battle.
4. Go to Point B and repeat.

Though sometimes the order of 2 and 3 gets switched, so that's nice. All in all, a solid premiere. Dune getting Poochied is a nice little cherry on top.

PURRGIL

 

[antsman41]

Bad Baby!

 

[antsman41]

...aslo shoutout to that classic stop motion.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Solid premiere episode!

 

[Karelia]

What a cool way to introduce the Purrgil. Can't wait to see what becomes of it.

 

[antsman41]

Oh, Bo should have been blasting some Cure while moping in her Mandalorian Castle.

 

[Drizzle]

Good premiere of The Mandalorian Season III: Mando Needs A Bath. I hope we see more of the space pirates and Captain Swamp Thing.

I need to get me some cape droids.

Carga's droid entourage is expanding. He needed a third droid trailing him and playing "Living in America".
