There are literally at least 5 other websites that have done an article on the new Mandalorian Disney+ series, and I don’t want to repeat what they said. So here are the things all the other websites won’t tell you about the show.
- If you go into this series expecting to see a mandolin playing Manchurian eating oranges, you will be disappointed.
- Everyone claims that Pedro Pascal is the Mandalorian, but that could be a lie. We never see the actor’s face, so it literally could be anyone, from Daniel Logan to Jeremy Bullock to Rebel Wilson.
- One of the bounties collected by said title character says he was hoping to get home in time for Life Day, which means that is either a sick sick joke, or the end of Star Wars.
- The Mandalorian starts out ba ba ba ba ba ba bad to the bone, but then kind of transitions into a less competent version. This means he is following in the footsteps of Boba Fett.
- The two most important places to protect your body are your head and your shoulders, based on the placement of the special armor. This is taken from the book of Dredd.
- It is a contractual requirement of every Star Wars property that there always be a desert planet in it. This is similar to the video game requirement that every Star Wars game must contain a Rancor.
- The Mandalorian is a derivative work, in that it borrows, copies, or outright steals things from all the previous Star Wars movies.
I could not agree more!
On a side note, your point about not knowing who is actually behind the mask is why I have doubts about the story that Daniel Craig actually cameo’d as that storm trooper in The Force Awakens. It makes a good headline, but come on, he’s not gonna take time out from trying on luxury watches or whatever he does to put on a bulky, sweaty stormtrooper costume for a day and not even get a SAG credit.
