The mandalorian feels more like star wars than the current saga.

What I like is that while the Mandalorian is badass, he's not perfect and still struggles.

It's quite remarkable how we get more emotion from a zoom-in on a helmet than two films of Rey's mouth agape.

Me: baby yoda is so cute! Saltboi: thats not yod.. Me: i have spoken. ✋

Joe: "Who are Yodle's mother and father?" Twist: "They were nobody." - Written and directed by Rian Johnson

"You speak terrible Jawa, you sound like a Wookie." 🤣

“I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are part of my religion.” 😂👌🇺🇸

The Mandalorian: “So anyway, I started blasting”

My favorite quote/scene: "I'm surprised you're still here." "I'm surprised you took so long."

“I’m Mandalorian, weapons are part of my religion”

The mandalorian is feeling kinda like a Master Chief character to me...silent, stoic and faceless. I like it.

Jump straight into spoilers lads - we're all in.

Go straight to spoilers, "I have spoken".

Also, this mandalorian is still in training. He's not fully assembled his mandalorian armor. Nor does he have all of his armaments. He doesn't know his house, thus why his armor plate was without house emblem or color. That's why he was asked by the smith mandalorian. Gold usually represents those in a trade job that are highly valued. That's why her helmet was gold. Blues and reds typically signify warriors.

Angry Joe: Makes review that is longer than the episode *I have spoken... for a very long time.*

His fighting style reminds me a tad of Indiana Jones. How he gets his ass beat but still finds a way to pull through.

One of the things that made me love the Mando in this was when he was fighting the creature on the planet. He was getting tossed around, beaten up, his gear got wrecked. And even though he was battered, bruised, and was probably gonna die. He stood up, pulled a knife and was willing to take it head on. And of course that he was quick witted enough to save the baby from a charge even after being knocked away. He is not an invulnerable bad-ass. He is a tough as nails bad-ass who is willing to take the hits and even risk death to get what he needs done. I like the Mando because I can relate to struggling to get moving forward and life kicking me around. 100% support this series.

I really like how it emphasizes that the mandalorian is a bounty hunter, not a “animal” hunter. He pretty much (for the most part) mops the floor with humanoid species, but gets handled by “animal” creatures.

The Mandalorian + Baby Yoda = Star Wars: Death Stranding

The beast he fights looks like the rhino beast from attack of the clones In the arena fight.

Dude, those Jawas stole his TOILET! You can see it on the bundle as they return to the ship.

The part where he dodges the cliff in the Jawa chase is straight from Indiana Jones last crusade tank chase scene!!!

Dredd never took off his helmet in the last film. I don’t think it messed with the story by doing so.

one thing missed was when The Mandalorian was explaining what happened it seemed as if he was unaware of what the force is.

I love how he said that weapons are part of his religion. I love that they put that bit of Mandalorian lore into it.

I tried out "I have spoken" on my wife. It didn't work out to well..

This show along with Jedi fallen order has reignited my love for star wars.

if disney want to start actually selling star wars merch again, they need to make a realistic replica puppet of that "yodel"

When the review is almost twice as long as the episode...

The Mandalorian is like the Samurai Jack of Star Wars.

"The baby Yoda is sooooo cute." Me: "This feels so familiar. Have you watched the movie Gremlins?"

I’m glad Oberyn took Tyrion’s advice and is now wearing a helmet ALL the time!!!

I’m loving this show but one thing I really like is the music it’s really great I like it. Lol thanks for all the likes.

Me: The show needs to be at least a hour i love the show more than the movies Me:I have spoken.

Baby Yoda is a baby for a few specific reasons: so that he can remain mysterious and not give any exposition on his parentage or the nature of his race, and because this show is very heavily inspired by Lone Wolf and Cub.

I know that Boba Fett isn't a real mandalorian, he just took his dad's army when he was killed but Jango Fett is a real mandalorian. If you read the dark horse comics, he fought alongside them all as a real mandalorian.

The life of a Bounty Hunter ain’t easy! It’s refreshing to have a main character in Star Wars getting his ass kicked in the beginning of their story...looking at you Rey.

Mandalorian has really ignited my love for Star Wars once again, man I'm really happy we have this show.

This review is 50% longer than the Mandalorian episode itself.

I mean anyone watching this should expect spoilers and if they get flustered that's on them.

Little Yoda walking over trying to help the Mandalorian when he's cut was a great scene. You got my back, I got yours.

"Army of force sensitive yodelers" - I'm going to have nightmares

The “I have spoken” fellow looks like Lee Marvin from the original Dirty Dozen movie!

At this point, I don't really find a point to a "Spoiler section". I can't think of anyone who would watch the first and think "Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe 1 more Non-spoiler section to convince me".

1st episode best line imo, “I can bring you in warm... Or I can bring you in cold.” I love that

When the review is longer than the episode reviewed.

The Mandalorian kinda reminds me of Master Chief from Halo.

I forced some people from my college to watch the Mandalorian... they said: "I don't have any money"... Me be like: "Pirates Life" They watched it and loved it, finally have someone to talk about the show since some people think he is, I quote: "Isn't that a knight"

little baby yoda is soooo fricking cuuuttee!!!!

The protagonist who is an anti hero, we dont see his face...is more relatable than rey

Line of this episode " i am a mandalorian weapons are my religion"

every time the baby was on screen all i could think was "omg its so cute! i want a baby yoda thing"

I really enjoy the show but wish the episodes were more in the 45-60 min range.

15:15 - Start of Spoiler section

I don't know anything about star wars but I watched this mandalorian and I enjoy it. Cowboy Future Bounty hunter who just took a hard bounty and turns out its a baby and lets see how the story goes.

Is it wrong that I started humming the "Montage" song from South Park during the ship building scenes?

20:20 Even though Jedi aren't supposed to have relations, they are some that have been exempt from that rule. A good example is Ki-Adi-Mundi( the big head guy with a blue lightsaber that died in ROTS during the purge). Ki-Adi-Mundi was exempt because his species's population was very low and he needed to help populate. I'm not sure how many wives he had but he had plenty of kids and was a terrible father due to Jedi not having emotions

I was so excited when the jawas were shouting about the egg because I thought we were going to see a Krayt Dragon.

No one's gonna point out that this giant rhino just died in a second after getting stabbed by a smol blade TO THE SHOULDER?

Love the review as always Want to point out something you said that was incorrect Jango Fett is/was a Mandalorian he was 100% embedded with the culture (You could argue that the day he chose to be a bounty hunter he sorta gave up the Mandalorian ways but that’s hugely debatable IMO) He taught the clones the mandalorian ways and even the clones battle song about brothers is directly ripped off from the mandalorian one Jango Fett’s lore is pretty badass and I highly recommend it to anyone interested Boba Fett on the other hand is just a bounty hunter But the point of all this is that Jango is no poser, he’s quite the opposite. He’s a badass mandalorian And yes this is canon Edit: the huge debate and why people say Jango is not a “true Mandalorian” is because he was not born on Mandalore. What 80% of people don’t know is to be Mandalorian is not to be a race or species, it’s a culture Mandalore isn’t even the original planet of the Mandalores, Coruscant was. So saying Jango Fett isn’t Mandalorian is like saying I can’t be Buddhist because I’m white and I was born in America Jango Fett was raised in the Mandalorian culture and fought for them I don’t know how anyone can be more mandalorian than that Edit: Edit: to put it into perspective, Jango Fett was a true mandalorian for about 30ish years of his life and a bounty hunter for 10ish years so it’s up to you to say what he was and wasn’t But IMO he was, he may not of died still following through with 100% Mandalorian ways but for most of his life he did and fought with mandalorian brothers

"Weapons are part of my religion" YES

I was literally teary eyed at the end, just because it is so refreshing to see Star Wars done right. With a very unique story, theme, and characters. Shows it can be done.

Mando: They, they... They belong to me! Jawa: You speak terrible Jawa. You sound like a Wookiee. Mando: You understand THIS!? *flamethrower roars* My favorite part.

"watch it now" *cries in europe*

2 things 1) all the Mandalorians gathered around reminded me of Kotor2 when You went planet to planet seeing the broken clans 2) Would love to see some nods to the old lore with the different clan names pop up even if it's in passing, Ordo or more official cannon like Saxon

"There's no reason you shouldn't." ... My country doesn't have Disney+, here's a reason. And I'm forced to find some other way to watch it.

Did anyone else think before it was revealed the creature the Jawas wanted the Mandalorian to steal the egg from was a krayt dragon?

I'm loving the direction they're taking with the Mandalorian. So far, it's impressive and although I've been fine with new directions and thought-provoking answers to the mythos, you tend to get too caught into stuff that you find at the bottom of the rabbit hole. This has a simple charm that the movies often forget to capture (and no, not just the new ones), so this breath of fresh air is quite welcome. The element of relatability in the show lies in the focused simplicity applied to the mythos (and not the mythos themselves) and every chapter has something to look forward, but the struggles are the best part of it. Some people also have said the comedy dilutes the seriousness, but I say "you don't know what you're talking about"... I mean, comedy is used very sparingly and my god does it work. I often giggle to small things like the fact the Mandalorian has to cooperate with the Jawas and it's not fun at all for him. The characters are very likeable as well and the visuals are even better. So far, every chapter is a well-rounded adventure that makes 30 minutes feel like an hour (which seems nice in this case) and it makes me want to follow the rest of the journey. I'm definitely impressed! They made SW bounty hunting super fun to watch in a tv format.

Getting that egg felt like a quest from star wars galaxies

Alex's death stare every time Joe says "Yodal"

It's a Yoda clone. Who is to say Sifo-dyas didn't also commission a clone of Yoda? Time line fits. 50 year old baby would put it being 'born' right when Sifo-dyas went to Kamino.

The Jedi had specific exceptions to the rule of no relationships especially when the species survival depended on it. I believe the Jedi Ki Adi Mundi was allowed to reproduce because his species was rare

My favorite quote: "Mando!!"

The only downside so far is the length. Imagine the episodes would be one hour long. Other than that. ITs brilliant.

also in regards to the theory of cloning baby yoda, when i heard that i immediately got an image of the huge troop carrier ships from clone wars landing and putting the huge ramp down and just seeing thousands of yodas marching with their robes and canes and it would be hilarious

How can i download disney+ to my tv, LG?

I like how we he is really skilled like when he killed the three trandoshans but he is also not perfect and has trouble with the beast.

I care more for this tv-show then the movies.. I will still stay away from The Last Jedi. Right now The Mandalorian and the recent released game Jedi: Fallen Order is Star Wars for me.

Jedi are not supposed to form attachments. No one said relations. FYI.

The soundtrack is written by Ludwig Gorannsson, who also wrote the music for Black Panther and Creed. Would totally recommend both of them as well.

They're filming Season 2 now 🙌🙌🙌💯

I predict the baby Yoda is gonna force his helmet off

Lucas once joked that Yoda was "the illegitimate child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy" and in this episode, the yodel eats a frog....make of that what you will.

I think I understand why they decided to go with this shorter format episodes. It creates much tighter storytelling with less exposition. Very reminiscent of the short serial westerns of the 50s like The Lone Ranger, or Japanese anime series.

Obi Wan was secretly seeing the mandalorian queen. I wouldn’t doubt it if Yoda was doing the same with the same species female.

This episode was so good it didn't feel important but it was good character developement.

The Mandalorian taking off his helmet is like Kenny taking off that hood in South Park. Ya gotta earn it!! Keep watchin'.

Loved the Indiana Jones bit with the Jawa’s dropping stuff on his head😂

When the reviews are longer than the actual episodes

The next big reveal is that the floating "Yodlpod" ran out of power 40 years ago.

When i saw mando only have to stab the mud horn once my thought was that bc the mudhorn wasnt making sound while lifted that maybe baby yoda was potentially force choking it as well and thats why it went down with only one stab

Am I the only one who thought the Jawas were saying cyka/bitch in Russian? Maybe John Favreu wanted to make it a joke with them telling CYKA! I found it quite funny.

I didn't realize until this episode that Minions are just more annoying Jawas.

Joe, you won't see his face - interviews said he will never remove the helmet (in scene).

So one thing to note is the Mandalorians as a culture don't like droids. If I remember correctly, there was a big number of them wiped out by droids. Ever since than, they haven't liked or trusted droids.

My mom hates Jawas, so she was cracking up when he started disintegrating them, pulling out of windows, any time he did something to them she laughed.

What you guys completely missed was that when the Mandalorian was being stalked by those hunters if you looked closely, you could see them jumping over him and getting into position in the reflection of his helmet which was a very nice subtle touch.

There are exceptions to the "Jedi can't have relationships/families" rule actually. IIRC Ki-Adi-Mundi, aka the guy on the Jedi Council who says "what about the wookies", was allowed to marry because his species had such a low birth rate. But that might not be canon anymore.

I thought that part where the Jawa turn their sand crawler towards the rock edge and crush the Mandalorian is a reference to Lucas Arts' Indiana Jones The Last Crusade where the Nazi officer tries to crush Jones as he hangs off the side of the tank against the rocks.

Alex is growing on me he’s like the straight man of the comedy trio.
