starwars New adventures await... Check out the new images from the second season of @TheMandalorian as seen in @EntertainmentWeekly. New episodes start streaming Oct. 30 on #DisneyPlus.
We're two episodes into Season 2, what do people think of this season?As much as I wasn't so fond of S2E1, I loved S2E2. The first episode was just a western in Star Wars guise. The second episode was pure classic Star Wars. Loved it. They do seemed to have nerfed Baby Yoda. In season 1, the child was more than capable of fending for himself using the force. So far this season, I kept waiting for it to happen and it never did.An aspect to how I view the show has changed. I learned how they make it. They don't use green screens. So when I watch it now, I either marvel at how good it looks or I see an actor standing in front of a big monitor. Also, I see why in some scenes they only walk so far before a cut. It's like a VR play space. There's only so far they can walk physically before they have to reset to walk further.
Yep, Baby Yoda now has his own cereal...You are not allowed to view links. Register or Logins-find-out-when-to-start-your-bounty-hunt/
This week's episode was the best yet. There is a disconcerting trend. The episodes have been getting shorter and shorter every week. S2E1 was an one hour show. This week was a half an hour show. Is it a quality versus quantity thing?
Many eps of S1 were between 30-40 mins, and I think that's a good pace; the 'more important eps' of S1 were more than 40 mins (the last 3; the pilot; the ep where Mando first meets Cara Dune). To be honest, watching S2E3 again (actually, for the 3rd time this weekend), I can't imagine where more time would be without it feeling like 'filler,' per say. And to be even more honest, w/S2E1, they could've deleted the whole sequence of Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents. (i.e. shaved 5-10 mins off) and the episode would've felt tighter, IMO. S2E1 is the longest ep so far in the run, and it feels like they've settled into a more 'lean' story pace S2E2-3 which is fine by me. Maybe some more character development between Mando, Bo-Katan would've been cool, but I kinda think keeping that light works narratively for a few reasons: 1) keep the tension between the two early is good for drama 2) keeping her a bit mysterious works well, especially for viewers who aren't aware of Bo-Katan from 'Clone Wars' & 'Rebels.'I agree this is easily the best ep. of S2 so far: it feels like the first ep that the longer narrative of the series so far is back in motion, while the first two eps felt more like "treading water." It feels like if the two seasons combined are one longer arc (thinking 18 Chapters = one conventional drama season), then S2E1-2 were mid-season "filler" episodes (even though they neatly branch together). I do find if amusing that the longest episode so far just happened to be directed by the Show runner: hard to know if that is a 'coincidence' or not, that the boss was allowed to indulge himself with a 55 min. ep while the other two so far have averaged 39 mins. Like I said, I feel both of the other eps were much better paced, though I wouldn't begrudge or talk down to ANYONE for thinking "the episode featuring Timothy Olyphant as a wester Marshal-type needs to be longer" :P
This season keeps getting better with each episode. Every week I declare the new episode to be the best one yet.
Funny coincidence, though would not surprise me in the least if it was planned. Today's LEGO Star Wars advent calendar piece is the Razor Crest. Of course now you have the option of just leaving it in pieces
Waiting to comment on the show until the season is done, kind of feel that I need to evaluate the whole thing together rather than by episode.
Boba Fett is different. It's more than physically he's a Heavy Mandalorian now. It's the character. Boba Fett in the movies was pure merc. He's not a real Mandalorian. He's was only in it for the money. In this episode he has honor.
Very good episode this week. Maybe not the best of the season but solid. I really didn't like the special guest character this week when he was in season 1, but I found myself won over by the end of this episode.
