The Mandalorian *SPOILERS* Discussion Thread

[Taegin Roan]

IF these turn out to be true it will both excite me and make me sad...much like the Mando has done already.   Because this epic show leads into a crap future.

Agreed. This guy seems like he has some pretty credible sources, but I am pretty much treating every single "leak" as false until it is confirmed. We will know more tonight.

Same.  I like the fact we have now seen all the footage from the trailers in the first 4 episodes...so now were all going in blind

I'm pretty sure I will be the only person holding this opinion, but meh.

.......Really?   Ok.  You're gonna have to explain that one.

Oh boy, lots to unpack. I loved the storyline of the episode and all that was revealed (TYTHON!!!!), literally my only issue was Rosario's performance. And not that it was a bad performance, just that it didn't quite feel like Ahsoka. The dialogue was that of Ahsoka, but the movements, the speed, the facial expressions in battle, the fighting style, the fact that she had a hard time against The Magistrate, it just didn't work for me. She wasn't nearly as light on her feet as Ahsoka (which I understand, real world and animation can't always match), etc. It was literally just a ton of little things that make Ahsoka Ahoska that weren't quite right. Anytime we saw her from the back, it was perfect, just nothing else was quite right. Also her Montrals were too short. She also snapped at the child.

Of course this is all my opinion, and I'm stoked that everyone else seems to love it, but it just didn't work for me.

Also, did Ahsoka not know Yaddle? She was literally on the Jedi Council. Ahsoka would have at least know about her.

Ep 5 .... done

Interesting .... and, a little disappointing (but it is just a personal point fo view about montrals and lekkus   )

I watched it in the French version ... so the same French actress made the voice for Ahsoka in TCW, Rebels and The Mandalorian .... but I understand it should be strange for you guys who watched the episode in the original version ...

But I will wait for you to watch it for discussing

 Like you said...she is not going to move like ahsoka did in the animated series...of course they could have spent more money on a stunt woman but like I pointed out before...season 2 was done before any of that merch revenue was seen.  Also..she is much older here and could be slowing down a bit..but I digress.  As for the magistrate...we don't know what training shes had.  The point was that she could hold her own against a Jedi to make you wonder more about her.  Yaddle had stepped down from the council and all but retired from Jedi affairs by the time Ahsoka came in.

Onto my personal highs:

AHSOKA!!

THRAWN MENTIONED

GROGU

TYTHON BROUGHT INTO CANON

LIGHTSABER AGAINST BESKAR SPEAR

EXPLINATION OF HIS STUNTED GROWTH



At this point Star Wars has been such a heartbreaking disappointment for me for almost 5 years now...any good content is welcome and celebrated.

I see and understand all this, it just didn't work for me. But I agree with all your personal highs. Even though I didn't care for Ahoska here, I still love that she was in it.

Technically, Ahsoka joined the order before Anakin did, and we see that Yaddle is still on the council in TPM. So I'd think she would still at least be known to Ahsoka.

[Master Seblaise]

As I said before, this episode was interesting ..... AND I LOVED IT !!!

Mainly, I loved it for the same reasons DT seems to love it


I was just disappointed by the look of Ahsoka's montrals and lekkus ... I though that they are too small ... almost the same size when Ahsoka was a child. There is something strange to me on this point. For an adult Togruta, they should have been more long and thin .. like those they made for Orli Shoshan as Shaak Ti in Ep II.

If im mathing right, yes Ahsoka was accepted into the order 1 year before Anakin...BUT she was only 3 years old while Anakin was 9.  A 3 year old and a 9 year old, of course, have different capabilities of retaining memories to adulthood.  As well Padawans rarely saw all the members of the council other than Yoda who took more of a hands on interest than the others.  Anakin being tested by the whole council was not a normal thing.  Usually a Padawan wouldn't see the whole council until the day they were to be chosen as a padawan.  So..since Anakin was such a special case he was privy to a lot the other Padawans were not.  Since Yaddle pretty much stepped down right after TPM she was long gone by the time Ahsoka was ready to become a padawan.

I can agree they seemed short for her age...BUT as usual in Star Wars where there is not an in-universe explanation..there is a real world one.  Probably some limitation with the prosthetics.

Maybe ... but I think that it can also be a choice considering what they did in Ep II ...

[Master Seblaise]

Well .... maybe it is because I am a big fan of Shaak Ti (The greatest Jedi ever) and I felt in love with Orli Shoshan

After watching it for a 2nd time, it is less strange ...


And sorry for double-posting

[Metal Mech]

Come on guys have a little respect for those of us that have to get home after work to watch.
Usually Master Seblaise posts that he saw the episode and will wait to discuss when everyone else has had a chance to watch. That it my warning that going ant farther forward into the thread is a spoiler until after I watch the newest episode. Instead today scroll right into a photo spoiler with no warning what so ever. Not cool. Especially since that image was a moment I have been anticipating and waiting to see for the first time in the show and not online.
Yes I know this is a spoiler thread but up till now there have been heads up warning for each new episode and no one has posted photo spoilers at least not for the very first post about a new episode.
