Just watch episode 2. It's a little bit better but I still won't give it 1 stars yet. Maybe I will force myself to sit through episode 3 next Friday.

THAT was friggin awesome. LOL
This show is going well. I need to look up the release schedule. Continuing every few days would be a lot better than the weekly I expect it really is.

Argh! However, I'm already tempted to watch these two again.

Episode 3 is available on Disney now.

One thing about these Mandalorian episodes with Disney.

When they say Friday, it's Friday.

When that clock strikes morning, the start of a business day, 8-9 am, the episode is online.

It's not like episodes of other series on the other TV and Cable channels, when they say the next new episode is on Friday,

you have to wait until primetime your local time: 7 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm before you can see it.

Even with that, it may be subject to broadcast delay:

some sports event before it ran too long or some big breaking news took over the entire broadcast day or sometimes it just doesn't get broadcast as scheduled with no explanation whatsoever given and also with no information on when it will be broadcast.

Um, well yeah that should be self-evident! That's an advantage streaming has over broadcast TV/cable. When you stream you are not beholden to any specific time slot.

So what species is the child and are there more like it in the galaxy far far away?

Also is it born possessing the power of the force?

In one of the episode so far it used the force.

For it the force is like us having the sense of smell and sight and hearing.

I just finish watching episode 4.

That's the 2nd time the same thing has happen.

Has not occurred to the Mandalorian to check the kid?

The species has never been known. Yaddle is the only other known Yoda like species to have existed in the Star Wars universe and that was only in Episode 1. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8FaS6nZ_AI )

I've watched Episode 1 several times and I never noticed there was another Yoda species in those scenes.

Maybe this child is from Yoda and Yaddle?

I have a minor gripe over a non-crucial point (as usual) - tracking "fobs?" Fobs. really? They couldn't make it sound more Star Warsey? I would have settled for "tracking device." Now, whenever I see it I expect the Mandalorian to unlock his spaceship with it while you hear that little beep or car horn. Okay, gripe over. biggrin


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

In the books, which are not cannon anymore, Yaddle went on the record as saying basically, "not even if we are the last two and we are the last two."

With that said, the galaxy is a huge place and there might be more "yodas". Disney can basically do whatever the way now. They've already done a few things that contradict their own cannon so who knows.

Disney ruins everything!

Next on their agenda:

the Indiana Jones franchise.

It was part of Lucasfilm when they bought Lucasfilm.

Saw a theory online:

I think it's a good theory that this is a Yoda clone.
The scientist guy in the first episode that was there when he took the mission had an insignia on his uniform like that of the cloners. They had incomplete info and didn't handle the job as normal. Could be this was an interception, they just knew where he'd be.
The question would then be who it is that's after him so bad, the cloners to have him returned or maybe some others the guy made an alliance with. Remember the IG88 (or whatever he was) was on the mission to straight up kill him.
I'd have to watch the first one again, but it SEEMS like even those that gave him the mission just said that alive was PREFERABLE. Maybe they just needed his DNA to make more clones? Or for other purposes leading to the movie this month?

to quote Master Yogurt in Spaceballs : it is all about merchandising biggrin

the Mandalorian still can't decide what its target audience is.

The same audience which bought tickets to see Episode VII and VIII. This is Disney so no rated R stuff regardless of format.

at first I thought that 30 minutes or so was too short for an episode but the last episode was 30 minutes too long.
