neilnunb Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Only thing about that episode is I found it really dark, although obviously the location meant it was going to be like that.

Cade Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Enjoyed that. Barnstorming start, long world-building main part then a redemption arc at the end. The only thing unclear is the motivations of one character, but I'm sure that'll be explained at some point later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing unclear is the motivations of one character, but I'm sure that'll be explained at some point later on. Enjoyed it. 2 great episodes to begin with and then a bit of a slow burner. Happy to see where it goes as I don't think the direction is very clear at the moment... I guess the hints are there that Din becomes the Mandalore but not sure how Bo-Katan will fit into that as either a friend or foe. At this point I think I'm still far more excited about seeing Sabine, Ezra and Thrawn in the Ahsoka series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I just watched Mando 3.2 and 3.3 and I hope it's not just shade off of Andor, but I'm struggling through it a bit. The writing on ep 2 felt painful—contrived to get to the key situation. Spoiler Also the entrapment angle in ep 3 was painful to watch. I suppose they're doing something with her and her parents or past life or something, but in the context of this series, that whole plotline and the Coruscant scenes just felt out of place. I still say this show is at its best when it just does samurai/western TV show in space. That's what made the first two seasons so enjoyable. Just too all over the place for me. Of course the fight scenes were fabulous. Can't deny that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diadora Van Basten Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I watched Great Rail journeys Oslo to Bergen and there was a stop at the hotel where the Star Wars cast stayed while filming The Empire Strikes Back. Apparently fans meet up there at certain times of the year and dress up as Stormtroopers in Hoth gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched the first 2 episodes of the Mandalorian season one and was impressed by the entire thing, i'm going to follow it and eventually catch up. I don't know a lot about star wars, in fact I didn't even know this had a star wars connection till I saw it in the opening credits. I only ever really watched the very first star wars film. But I live on planet earth so i'm obviously familiar with a lot of star wars canon, it's unavoidable. But I do love space stuff, star trek TOS is my favourite. The production value in the Mandalorian is comparable with Hollywood and that's not always been the case for TV. TV can now compete with Hollywood on production value plus the best writers and actors. This really is a new golden age of TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well worth watching the behind the scenes to see how they've bridged the gap. The Volume and use of games engines have been a big part of it allowing them to immensely cut costs away from using the traditional blue/green screens.

neilnunb Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Still enjoying the Mandalorian. There had been leaks before this season started that it was going to devide a lot of opinion and it certainly seems to be. I know there's been a lot of talk about viewing figures dropping but then again Disney + lost loads of subscribers. Todays episode just seemed like extra heavy on the cameos though.

Some elements are really good and then it goes to complete cheese.I don't think the writing is as good now sometimes I think Favreau is fighting with what he wants and the disneyfied way.Also the different directors week from week seems to effect the quality of episodes.

The Volume and use of games engines have been a big part of it allowing them to immensely cut costs away from using the traditional blue/green screens. A major part of it is TV has infinitely more money than it ever had before. Take Britain for example, all we used to have were BBC and ITV, sure the BBC demands a licence fee but that aside ITV existed largely in advertising revenue, and that was the standard model for TV around the world. The BBC actually made high quality programming with their historical dramas and the like, expensive stuff few stations in the world could afford to do. Because unlike them the BBC had a guaranteed income. And it didn't matter if nobody even watched their expensive drama. But it should be mentioned they did watch all around the world where a lot of it is regarded as classic. Then came satellite/cable TV which millions began paying for monthly giving the bigger ones massive incomes which gave them the money to compete with Hollywood in every way. There are good actors on TV now who would never have been on TV at all if it were still the old commercial days You wouldn't have seen the likes of Kate Winslet and Winona Ryder or our very own Brian Cox appearing on TV, they would have appeared exclusively in film. Because tehy could make more money in say 6 weeks of filming in Hollywood than TV back then could have payed them in years. And the same thing applies to the best script writers. Incidentally I think the BBC were also ground breaking in terms of technology. They made the documentary series walking with dinosaurs and I believe the technology involved was ground breaking at the time. Later to be emulated by Hollywood in the Jurassic Park series.
