The Mandalorian visits a very familiar desert planet in “Chapter 5 – The Gunslinger,” and while it offers off some laughs and plenty of call backs to A New Hope, some questionable decisions and an overabundance of references make for the show’s first disappointing Chapter.

The Mandalorian‘s “Chapter 3 – The Sin” is the show’s best so far, wrapping up some threads and opening up the show right up to many intriguing possibilities, while it has the distinction of being the first ever live-action Star Wars directed by a woman, Deborah Chow, who absolutely is at fault for how good this episode is!

A new era of Star Wars arrived with the launch of Disney+, as the first ever live-action TV show premiered: The Mandalorian! In “Chapter 1,” The Mandalorian deep-dives into Star Wars’ Western roots, as we find the intrepid gunslinger off on a dangerous new bounty, getting into bar fights and taming a mount even, while it ends with such a surprising and intriguing development, it’s easy to look past a short, compact overall episode.

As November 12 fast approaches, with it comes the launch of Disney+ and the first live-action Star Wars TV show, The Mandalorian! The second trailer for the show dropped tonight, and while it contains a fair bit of footage from the first, there’s enough new to whet our appetites for the show. Much of what’s to come in the show’s first season remains nebulous and the mystery is only building anticipation for me, while the shot of the Mandalorian hanging onto the TIE fighter is single-handedly giving me life in regards to this show. Is the young kid and his family our main character in flashbacks, as Werner Herzog’s character does talk about something bad happening to the Mandalorian’s people? You can spot Super Battle Droids in one of the scenes, so it’s highly likely a flashback (though we’ve seen the droids used post-Clone Wars before). Is the woman holding the Mando’s helmet a lover or even a family member? While we got our first lines from the masked man, why can’t anyone but Herzog speak in these trailers? With its weekly release schedule (two in the first week!), we won’t have to wait for a mid-season break or anything to find out most of the answers to these mysteries! Head below the cut for the new character posters, the release schedule, and our previous Mandalorian coverage! Continue reading “The Mandalorian’s Exciting Second Trailer Drops”
At the D23 Disney+ panel, not only did the above intense first trailer for The Mandalorian arrive, but Ewan McGregor came out to confirm he’s back for an Obi-Wan Kenobi series (!!), and The Clone Wars‘ return was announced for February 2020. They also talked about the Cassian Andor series, though not a lot of details were given for any of the upcoming shows, but head below for what little we did get. Continue reading “D23 2019: The Mandalorian Trailer Arrives, Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Announced, and The Clone Wars Set for February 2020”
If you weren’t at the panel, The Mandalorian didn’t offer much for everyone else to get excited for because the first footage, a trailer, BTS reel, and a scene, were for panel-goers only. It seems like a silly idea because of course one can find some grainy versions of it online, so first impressions for the masses not there could be less than flattering, though several write-ups seem to suggest the footage was more than impressive. We did learn Carl Weathers’ character is named Greef Carga, the head of a bounty hunting guild, while Gina Carano plays Cara Dune, an ex-Rebel trooper, but Pedro Pascal’s Mandalorian is still called only the Mandalorian… like Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name, but I bet we’ll get a name befor the season is over. The Mandalorian is set to premiere with Disney+ on November 12! Check out some new stills below, the panel, and pray to the Force we commoners get that footage sometime soon.
