The Mandalorian (Page 7 of 8)

I want Carl Weathers to direct every episode. In and out, 30 minutes.

Yep, Jar Jar has never looked so good.

Ya, 3x5 was fun; the story tied in nicely with what's come before.

Yeah, the cameos were fun! When I read up on the episode after watching it, I found out that the obese woman is not only very US-American but also pretty famous.

Normalizing and not talking about a big problem can't be the solution.

Yeah, I should start a different thread for this topic.

Not for that other show, but in general.

Stop disappointing me, man.
I'm old af and still recognised Lizzo straight away.
Maybe you don't listen to her music but no need to be a dick.
You clearly knew her name before typing this shite post out, why not use it?

Her and Jack looked great together, I nearly spat my tea out when they popped up on my screen.

To be fair to Lighton, I've heard of Lizzo and know of her, from what I understand she is "famous" in the USA for being obese, wearing bikinis, twerking and promoting the body positivity movement lie of health at any size (apparently she is quite a good flute player as well...good for her) but I had no idea this was her....I'm pretty sure she is only "a thing" in the USA and I doubt anyone from outside the USA would recognize her out of context like this, I certainly didn't.

Thanks for the link nightcrow, Matt Walsh is hilarious, "an utter dreck." If the episode seems too plucky and playful, and geared for kids, it's probably a Bryce Dallas Howard episode!  I don't think Matt Walsh understands that The Mandalorian doesn't sail with a singular voice, like Andor or Obi-wan or Boba-Fett, but is open to guest directors so it gets wild one-offs.

All the cameos just felt like a party favor to me, old school Hollywood cronyism.  I kinda enjoyed the ham.  (That's a double entendre for Lighton....as in hammed up performances and ham as in fat.) 

I like how nobody questions how Starbuck handily won that fight at the end of the episode, yet again.  She's invincible, and hasn't lost a contest, and always swoops in to save the day.  Getting repetitive.  Nobody noticing this?   It's almost as though a cartoon writer who's a fan of BSG made a live action series. lolz.

Is a harbinger of death a space angel, I dunno, maybe you're right.  I enjoyed the fight though, but I start picturing everything as a cartoon more than a dramatic series when the leads win so easily.

There is also the rumor that the aim is now to make her "The Mandalorian" and get rid of Din Djarin from his own show.
