The Mandalorian The Mandalorian: General Thread

[Verbal21]

Updates like that are always the worse

 

[godisawesome]

It’s like that scene in Godzilla where the little kid’s watching the monsters throw down... and we keep moving to see the little kid instead or his mom.

This show should totally exploit the visual appeal and fun of the Mandalorian suits if armor. I mean, they’re basically *why* Boba Fett became so famous for so little actual contribution to the OT’s action scenes.

And anyone who’s seen a comic con knows how creative you can get with them.

i hope the mentioned new suit will not be green or blue , because a Boba Fett Backlash from extra sensitive SW Stans is so sure like the Amen in a Church

Toys need to be sold

Toys need to be sold

Considering how I’m so easily sold on toys but Disney likes to release figures that make me save my money instead, it’d be nice to actually be excited about a Star Wars toyline again.

List of potential figures:

Mando standard figure
Mando removable helmet
Mando battle-damaged armor
Mando with removable poncho
Mando new armor exclussive!
Mando new armor w/removable helmet
Mando new armor battle-damaged
Mando new armor w/removable poncho
Mando vintage 70s packing
Mando with Ice-cream maker computer memory core
Mando with Bothan Baby (bounty)
Mando with battle-damaged Bothan Baby bounty (say that six times fast).

Will be pretty much all the same figure with one minor change LOL!

What’s the latest on “The Mandalorian”? I just finished shooting “The Mandalorian,” a “Star Wars” TV show that’s going to be in Disney’s streaming service when it comes out. I’m helping direct it. It was a dream come true for me to be around and immersed in that “Star Wars” universe, and to just be next to a Stormtrooper.

How is “The Mandalorian” connected to the “Star Wars” story? It’s set after the end of “Return of the Jedi.” It’s the fall of the empire as we know it, and it’s before the rise of the new order. That’s the little time period that “The Mandalorian” is in.

As you may know, Boba Fett is the bounty hunter from “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” It’s not a race, but a creed of this collection of people who is made up of bounty hunters, mercenaries and fighters. And this is about one of these guys; the Mandalorian is a lone gunfighter.

At the fall of the empire, a lot of them were cast out and dispersed. They found themselves going into hiding and being guns for hire. The way I see it—I’m not sure if this is how Jon saw it—I felt that it was a bit like “Yojimbo” or ronin, a kind of Western, like lone gunfighters wandering from town to town, like that TV show, “Kung Fu.”

What does “Star Wars” mean to you? The first one I saw was “Star Wars: Episode IV,” but the one that meant the most to me was “The Empire Strikes Back.” I know that George Lucas did a lot of research into parent/child relationships and what it is to lose a parent or child. It’s one of the most spiritual films, and the ideas behind it are great. To create something that magical, with so many crazy creatures and spaceships, is amazing.

And for it to also have heart, be a great adventure and mean something … the idea of force and letting go of the ego, is all in those films. The idea of the force being in everything—there’s a lot of spiritual stuff in the films.

I honestly can't wait until Celebration....

 

[Breogan]

I don't know what people want from this series?

[QUOTE = DonWanKihotay
What do people want?
If they are about Favreau's age (born 66), first saw Fett abt 14yo in ESB in 1980 (or the SWHS animated segment), grew up watching the things he did, they've been imagining and pretty much playing out this theme scenario since way back then; the perfect amalgam of:

This icon...

plus this film...

plus this film...

Plus this TV show...

and...

= Equals exactly this =

And it's abt frikng time!

On the reblescum forums totally anticipated the Kung Fu series reference.

Get ready — new 'Star Wars' toys are coming on Triple Force Friday

This year, they’re changing that to Triple Force Friday, since it will include action figures, clothing, collectibles, and books for three new projects set in the galaxy far, far away.

At 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 4, playthings will be on shelves for:

• The as-yet-untitled Episode IX, J.J. Abrams’ conclusion of the Skywalker saga, due in theaters in December.
• The live-action Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal as a masked gunslinger trying to survive the collapse of the Empire after Return of the Jedi.
• And the EA/Respawn video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, about a knight who survives the extermination of the rest of the lightsaber-wielding peacekeepers.

 

[Verbal21]

Without TRU’s anymore, who even does that? My Targets and WM’s never really participated before.

They will.

 

[Inhuman117]

it would be nice if the show would introduce a new Stormtrooper to us , like Rogue One did with the Death Troopers

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I just can't wait to see some merchandise and the Mando's costume upgrades!
