We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode.
Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.
Is it just me, or did it feel like a little bit of bullshit that the Darksaber was destroyed so.....easily? I guess it could potentially set up Din Grogu to be THE Mandalorian and be the first Jedi/Mandalorian since the guy that made the Darksaber (meaning Grogu can remake the Darksaber)? Loved the shot of the Mandalorians jet packing off to battle in formation, and really loved the shot of the cruiser crashing to earth as the Pack o' Mandos hauled ass out of the way....
Spoiler!
Yeah, admittedly that threw me off. It's the Darksaber and basically the very main symbol that's supposed to hold the various clans together.
I enjoyed the episode. Nicely done. There were a lot of really cool visual elements and some compelling dramatic moments along the way. It was a fun ride and I'm looking forward to the next season. I'd like them to move Grogu's force/combat powers along more quickly; his save was a really nice touch but at least get him a weapon or something. [Reply]
Why is it that no one can shoot shit but as soon as Paz says he's going to lay down cover so that Axle can escape...suddenly dude starts mowing down people? Just fucking do that shit from the beginning, asshole. And is he the only capable shooter the Mandalorians have?

I saw a speculation piece that suggested the Dark Saber being destroyed created an opening for Grogu to eventually become the leader of Mandalore, but not by creating a new dark saber, rather by being the one to ride the Mythosaur.

Couple things. It's been out 2 days, surely we can dispense spoilers, right?
1. Gideon put motors in his suit, like Iron man. You could hear the motors whirring when he moved. That's why it was broken so easily.
2. I think it is an opportunity to rebuild Mandalor the way it should be, not the way it was. Everybody that's tried to lead by getting the Dark Sabre has ended in ruin for Mandalor. Let's do something else. I think that is the main takeaway.
3. Got this from a dork video, so take it for what it's worth. Dark Sabre has always been associated with war. Mandalorians need to focus on peace (see commentary in the underground garden where the native plants hadn't been able to grow since some civil war). Maybe Mando v2 focuses on using Beskar to make weapons of defense and growth rather than destruction and death.
Also they talked about the Dark Sabre being fucked up, at least compared to the Jedi sabres. Maybe breaking that piece of broken will help fix what is broken in the Mandalorian Society.
I dunno, interesting shit to think about from a pretty basic (but awesome - fuck off I was all about it) battle. [Reply]

"And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more..."
Interesting and probably pretty poignant perspective on the Dark Saber.
I mean...I just went with point 1 - dude was Iron Man.

Going to kind of suck now that this and Picard are over. :-)
I started rewatching Battlestar Galactica before this, Picard, and Last of Us took over my attention. I'm going to go back to it. A few episodes in, and it holds up better than any 20 year old TV show has a right to. [Reply]

Katee Sackhoff has held up pretty well, too. :-) [Reply]
