Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
It was a great start of the season. I hope we get to see the Marshall again.
Two mandalorian jetpacked flying around the monster and shooting it was a real visual treat.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
SpoilerI mean it is his fathers armour which he has worn since he watched his father get killed by a force user infront of him before that force user got saved by a little green alien, representing his connection to a culture which his father may or may have not been banished from which has a history of taking in orphans but apparently ignored him. There's afew ways they could go with it, could be Boba isnt particularly interested in the armour but gets into conflict with Mando in other ways. But I get the feeling Boba will be working for the empire guy so we'll get a nice Mando vs Mando show down set piece at some point during this series which means he's got to be in the armour at some point.
I also felt this episode was a big shout out to the KOTOR quest to kill a dragon, ambush outside a cave with mines and getting a pearl as your reward feels like it's straight from KOTOR. Albiet on a grander scale with a completely redesigned dragon. (Personally I like the older version, this one is abit generic sandworm but that's a very small gripe.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
SpoilerWhen the Mandalorian helped the Marshal negotiate with the Tusken Raiders it felt like a repeat from the first season when the Mandalorian got help negotiating with the Jawas.
I guess that was Favreau's way of showing the Mandalorian learning from that situation and providing the Marshal the same advice he received.
A shame he took the armor with him was hoping like with Gina we might have a call back with the Mandalorian asking him for help later on this season.
I guess either Boba or Rex might fill that role instead perhaps?

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
That was a nice episode, good to see something stand-alonish after last season's finale. I'm kind of confused as to what help Mando expects to get from other Mandalorians. Maybe he just wants to reconnect with his people as he' looking the same time as looking for the Jedi?
Also I love that he was surprised he could have missed another Mandalorian when he spent, like, two weeks on that very same planet.
SpoilerI hope it's jsut a cameo I don't really see what Bobba would bring to the show, but who knows.Forum Wisdom

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
He isn't looking for the Jedi exactly - he is looking for the child's people who from what he knows were a group of sorcerers who the mandalorians fought way back when.
His plan seems to be find them and find out what they know about these sorcerers so he can drop off the child with its people.Last edited by dancrilis; 2020-11-02 at 01:24 PM.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
Given how people react to meeting Mandos, he could expect to have heard about them.
If there are any bounties on Mandalorians, which there probably are, he ought to get one of those tracking thingies from season 1.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
Depends on how Mandalorians are viewed.
For instance if you meet a 9 meter tall shark man chances are you would remember it - that being the case the next time you meet one you might mention it to them 'ah one of you, another of your kind lives nearby, friend of yours?'.
If Mandalorians are viewed as 'the ultimate warrior' then one might expect to hear about another 'ultimate warrior' fairly quickly if the other one is not being stealthy.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
How densely populated is Tattooine? Given their water issues, there may not be that many settlements.
It may be a reach, it really depends (I haven't seen the episode).

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around this. Like, planets are huge, a guy in mandalorian armour openly walking around would create gossip in their area, sure but to expect that the entire planet would be talking about it is just weird.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
The single habitable planet that we happen to live on is biodiverse, but that's a sample size of one. It is perfectly reasonable for single biome planets to exist, and in fact planetology predicts that they should exist (and at various times in the past Earth itself has been significantly less diverse in terms of biomes). Desert planets, in particular, are almost certainly a thing and may in fact be very common.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
I'm not sure where you are going with this?
You know what? You're right, I think that this is a new personal record for less consequential bit of SW trivia I've argued. Let's drop the subject.
I wonder if the Marshall will try finding a replacement armour, though.Forum Wisdom

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
My money is on the Marshal returning later, but becoming an actual Mandalorian. Dude is very skilled, honorable, has no qualms about deadly situations, he's a perfect Mando candidate. If Din can't find more Mandalorians, then he can make some.
Wouldn't help his quest with the Child, but I want that to happen regardless. The Marshal was too badass to be abandoned by the storyline.
I'm not counting his appearances in the Aftermath books, because they suck.Last edited by Peelee; 2020-11-02 at 06:28 PM.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
While I can see why Din would find the idea appealing I'm not sure why the Marshall would.
Well, beside getting another armour, of course.
Oh, he's definitely coming back in the finale or something to shoot at imperials, that's for sure.
By the way, I didn't check yet but does this episode's and the first book's story about how he came by the armour match? I think I remember another guy.Forum Wisdom

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
Networking is always nice. S1E3's ending showed a good reason why one might want to join the ranks of the Mandalorians, for example.
More or less. Like, roughly "yes", but there's some inconsistencies. The best explanations I've seen so far have been that he took valid liberties telling the story. And I hate those books enough to not bother checking exactly what the differences were, really.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
I feel the need to point out that all those people died with our protagonist as an exception.
But most importantly, wouldn't that require him to abandon the life he already has and adhere to a code he wasn't raised in? I can't imagine he'd be overjoyed with the whole "never show your face" business to begin with.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
Not in Episode 3 they didn't. They got wiped out by the Imperial Remnant (gonna stick with that name til we get an official one in the show), who may have found out they were there because of that display, but may have already known. And it's not like the Empire has any love on Tatooine.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
I thought the implication was that the Imperials found them because of the display. It'd be an odd coincidence if it wasn't at the very least.
Well, the Mandalorians aren't exactly a chess club, are they? Being adopted into a new people generally means a rather important shift in lifestyle. As in living with a community of said people.Forum Wisdom

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
The Client didn't really have much of a presence on that planet. Gideon certainly did, but he didn't come until well after, so I would argue that it wasn't terribly coincidental at all. And that if Mando didn't have the Child, even with that display they would probably still be alive.
Din didn't question that a Mandalorian would be alone on Tatooine. He simply questioned that he didn't already know of a Mandalorian on Tatooine despite spending time there.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
Spoiler: what happened in Aftermath, courtesy of my old thread
Interlude: Tattooine
Jawas stink. Admin Charu, representing a mining company, is not best pleased to learn this. He's trying to get the Jawas to let him see their best merchandice, but they're ignoring him until a nice friendly man nearby decides to help out. Jawas don't sell their best gear to strangers, but the nice friendly man is prepared to vouch for him. Not even a charge, he's just a nice friendly man with no ulterior motives. The nice friendly man -Cobb Vanth, or so he says- follows Charu into the back room, where he discovers a complete set of Mandalorian armour. Cobb reintroduces himself as Sheriff Vance and proves faster on the draw than the mining company rep. Surprising. Cobb has decided to become a lawman and tells the mining rep with the newly wounded shoulder the lay of the land. The New Republic won't tolerate big corporate barons and slavers anymore...
Wow, Vance, you're in for some rough years ahead.

Re: The Mandalorian Season 2
But that's the thing isn't it? They died because of their connection to Mando so while "networking" helped him it really didn't help them.
Din didn't question that a Mandalorian would be alone on Tatooine. He simply questioned that he didn't already know of a Mandalorian on Tatooine despite spending time there.
Let's put this another way, when you said the Marshall would become an actual Mandalorian, what did you mean exactly by that? What would change in his life in positive and in negative?Forum Wisdom
