There’s a Rick and Marty episode done in the style of Lone wolf too.
I was more shocked that they lifted an entire 5 minute scene from the film and just stuck it in that Bobba fett as a key plot point.

The sand train heist in an earlier episode was directly lifted from Lawrence Of Arabia as well. Don’t think there’s any harm in it. It’s a nice thing to see if you get the reference, but no harm done if you don’t.
Oh buddy those first ten minutes. I’ll take all of that you got.
Really liked that, was a bit Andorian. Best Mandalorian episode since that one where the robots kidnap Grogu
Some neat flying from Bo-Katan
Loved the world building and learning about the New Republic.
Feel like they’re building up to somehow Palpatine returned and jar of Snokes
Bo-Katan is just very cool isn’t she
It did a better job of doing the ideas of the scenes in the Last Jedi at Canto Bite in about 2 minutes inside and outside the opera house than the entire flabby sequence in the film
really interesting episode, gf hated it due the distinct lack of baby yoda (it’s not called the baby yoda show for nothing!) but i loved it for all the nerd lore shit, and the grounded star destroyer!!
Yeah, although the pacing was a bit slow all the Amnesty Programme stuff turned out to be quite the conversation starter in our house & now the 9 year old knows all about Werner Von Braun & the Apollo moon landings & human space exploration being one of the areas that had direct influence from the USA’s recruitment of former Nazi scientists after WWII
amazing, that’s some good parenting right there!
Cheers
It was mainly down to an interesting line of enquiry from her tbh. It was a pretty neat conversation about world-building really and the differences between what you might expect from a story (bad guy/good guy stuff) versus how you deal with political realities and whether technologies are bad/good/neutral depending on who invents them & who owns them
yeah the whole cloning being useful to the new republic despite being illegal thing was a really interesting way of bringing in those ethical questions, felt very post-andor star wars-y
Yep & The Mandalorian does directly tap into that whole Star Wars conflict between spirituality/religion/belief and technology/technocracy
A wandering diaspora of true believers with a mission to protect the Creed and return to their ancestral home after an attempt to wipe out their race? I wonder what that could be about?
hard to say
paz vizsla, the beefy mandalorian guy, his clan history is wild. his ancestor was a jedi mandalorian who created the dark saber and lost it to bo-katan’s sister (iirc) satine, then another vizsla (pre vizsla) was exiled to the moon and set up death watch who helped darth maul take the dark saber and kill satine. bo-katan and co refused to recognise maul as ruler of mandalore and did a runner, then later sabine ren had the dark saber and gave it to bo-katan, but pre vizsla wouldn’t recognise her as ruler because she’d been given the saber and hadn’t won it in combat
If I was the New Republic and their were still pirates and warlords all over the gaff I might hold on to the star destroyers instead of scrapping them.
Coruscant needs a new High Speed floatrail infrastructure though & all the mining worlds got wiped out in The Purge
Gotta recycle!
thought it was great until its a trap!
nice kubrick vibes to the mind flaying scenes. best episode of mando had 4% of mando in it
the mind flayer looked mint as well, proper 70s sci-fi
