This is the best character(s) poster yet, Katee Sackhoff looks particularly great! It might be a spoiler in effect, but it’s now my phone’s lockscreen wallpaper. Anyone who tries to access my phone without permission gets spoiled for The Mandalorian season 2.

It looks like Disney is going to post a new one on facebook/twitter every Monday, so if anyone hasn’t seen the episode by then, they better not get online. I bet the Ashoka poster is going to be a huge deal.

From the last time we saw Bo-Katan to the time of The Mandalorian is only about 30 years. If she was in her 20’s then, she’d be in her 50’s now. Katee Sackhoff is 40. I know plenty of people in their 50’s who look like they’re in their 40’s. I’m glad they made her just as they did.

I think it’s significant that Bo-Katan extends Din a helping hand out of the water that closely resembles when he was rescued as child. She could be “rescuing” him again from his current dogma. Who better than Ahsoka to talk with Din about leaving an organization over dogmatic ideals.

Damn, some really good thoughts Rodney.

Thanks. I can personally relate to Ahsoka’s story, and I’d like to see at least part of Din’s character arc contain a similar eye opening as he comes into his own.

I’m curious about Din’s family. Their robes looked really nice. Were they wealthy? Is it possible after rescuing him from the battle droid, they had the opportunity to reunite him with at least some of his family who may have survived, but instead they kept him to increase their own numbers? I just feel there is more to the story.

Wasn’t Dune at least partially inspired by King Arthur? Creative people typically consume a lot of material and their imagination are fueled. Maybe all stories are just Beowulf. lol

I think the child’s species is a Whill and Mando needs to find the Guardians of the Whills. Makes sense that a rare species that’s so helpless for decades would need a group of devoted attendants.

I’ve never wanted the next episode of anything more than I do right now.

Just FYI, Filoni is directing episode 5, not episode 4 (which will be next week’s episode). Carl Weathers is directing next week’s episode, and since the only shots in the trailers we haven’t seen yet are from Mando going back to Nevarro and to see Greef and Cara, I’m guessing we won’t see Ahsoka next week, but the week after, on July 27th.

I’m guessing Mando stops by Nevarro to get his ship repaired properly (or they contact him asking for his help), and they have a run-in with some Imps in the meantime. (Possibly to help break a prisoner out?). And by the end of the episode Mando will head to the planet Ahsoka is apparently on.

Two weeks is excruciating enough, don’t make it eight months! lol

That director information makes a lot of sense. Maybe we get an Ahsoka tease at the end of episode 4? I just want to see what she looks like so bad!

Dank farrik!

Here’s my speculation on what shows/movies The Mandalorian could be setting up.

-Boba Fett
-Rebels live action (Ashoka-Rex-Ezra-Thrawn)
-The MANDALORIAN Jedi War / KOTOR
-Luke Jedi academy

The Mandalorian, while being its own story, will affectively have backdoor pilot episodes for these shows / movies.

I’m up for anything, but I’d say the first two are most likely.

Really nervous about what Rosario Dawson will look and sound like as Ahsoka. The amount of scrutiny leveled that day will be enormous.

Noticed the voice cast of Resistance look very much like their respective characters, so the idea of potentially transitioning animated characters to live action must have been on their minds. I’d actually like more of this series in animated form on Disney+.

With the state of theaters right now, I’m glad there was already so many Disney+ projects in the works. Sounds like that is only increasing now.

This type of content is what I’ve waited decades for!

I’ve never wanted the next episode of anything more than I do right now.

Just finished rereading Dune. About to start Master and Apprentice (Qui-Gon and Obi Wan pre-Phantom Menace). After that I’m trying to decide I want to read the other Dune books (never read past the first one) or start the Expanse books (Leviathan Wakes). Any recommendations?

Who else is excited for season 5?!

I really love this series.

The first three episodes of season 5 will drop on December 16, then the rest will release weekly after that.

I’ll pick this up just as The Mandalorian season 2 ends.

I love so many different types of music, but if we’re talking about my very favorites, those would be:

Frank Sinatra
Queen
Fleetwood Mac
The Beastie Boys
Daft Punk
The Foo Fighters
The 1975
Tame Impala

I finished rereading the book last night watched the Lynch movie this morning. I’m all set for this. Too bad it’s a year away now. 😦

The sequel trilogy is not perfect, and I’m not saying no one could have done better, but I’ve yet to hear any idea I think would have been better, so I’m thankful we got what we did.

If The Mandalorian continues to impress at this level, it may eventually become my favorite Star Wars of all, even more so than the movies.

Definitely up there with Star Wars and Empire for me. It’s simple enough storytelling, and that’s part of why it’s so compelling. The parent and child dynamic is so quintessential to Star Wars, except now it feels more relevant to real life.

The Clone Wars finale, the Star Wars Rebels finale, and Rogue One are my other favourite pieces of Disney era content and as a matter of fact they’re ALL ‘up there’. If you ask me, it’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan.

Sooga.

If The Mandalorian continues to impress at this level, it may eventually become my favorite Star Wars of all, even more so than the movies.

I don’t hate the title, I’m just used to calling it Star Wars and that feels more natural to me.

Wookieepedia says Chubbits are reptilian, but this lady is definitely amphibian. So…maybe not.

Hutts are no longer hermaphrodites in the new canon, so I think Chubbits could survive reclassification to amphibian.

Not everyone who says “bless you” after someone sneezes knows what a seraphim is.

I know it’s from the special editions, but every now and then I sort of like the new ending of RotJ.
