Never been a big fan of the Fettster, but at least this is something different.

Trailer's up:

Yeah that was cool

Apparently there's some people out there saying that's not IG-88 the same one from Empire. Really...there's only IG-88 that's a goddamn bounty hunter.

He does make several copies of himself though, non-canon I suppose.

Really hope they don't mess this up, it would be worse because it's starting to look so promising.

Pretty sure they confirmed IG-88 was in this a while ago.

But there are many assassin droids of the same model.

This ones him though.

Never was a fan of Fett, and it never make sense how a character that was beaten by a blind solo and died, spawned dozens of EU stories and was looked at like some ultimate badass.

All that aside this looks really good, and I hope the wiring is good and more than just cool looks and nostalgia.

The Star Wars forum people surprisingly don't worship at the alter of Fett. I'd have fully expected them to argue Boba Fett is the only character capable of challenging Darth Vader for ultimate baddass.

^ More fans of Jango tbh.

This looks cool, but Disney are still overdoing the Nostalgia thing.

But then again, they need general audiences to understand this is a Star Wars series. The name Mandalorian only screams Star Wars to us nerds. Not so much to the wider audience.

What are you on? Boba is way more popular then Jango.

On the SW Forum?

I thought you were talking in general. There weren't many fans of Boba or Jango on this forum. Hell, there were probably more Canderous fans then either of them.

Yeah true. Not much love there for either Fett or any Mandalorian.

It's because he crawled out of the Sarlacc pit in the Legend stories, So yeah...really he didn't die in that stuff.

I've always been a Boba Fett fan

The trailer looked amazing. Never got into any mandalorian lore thus far but this series looks to change that. My red viper is an amazing actor be this character looks to be a badass. I did tell you all bounty hunters are a huge formidable threat even to Jedi in the SW universe. Love it.

Bounty Hunters are one of the unique cool selling points of Star Wars. Everyone knows that. It isnt some secret youve picked up on you weird little man.

I think the red viper might sell me on it. Jango was lame, boba was lame, pre vizsla was lame and cad bane was lame. Quit trying to force your own viewpoints on Star Wars fandom. Toxic mentality.




Cannot wait for Disney and my red viper bounty hunter.

Pre was one of the only characters who legitimately challenges force wielders with skill, something of a novelty.


Plus the black saber was neat.

The only toxic fake fan here is you.

As per usual you hate the originals but love all the wannabe copycats just because they are made under the Disney Banner.

The Mandalorian wouldnt even exist without Boba Fett. In fact this started off as a Boba Fett film you brain dead monkey

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a big reveal in the show that the Mandalorian is Boba Fett.

This series to me looks great but you prefer Boba Fett who did next to nothing cool in the ot save squeal like a woman into the pit.

So what? Who cares about originality I care about compelling storylines and rich characters. Boba was lame to me. It is not a Boba Fett series so quit hating. I love the fact it is not and I side with the creative team that decided to go with my red viper in the casting role. The Go Bots were first but the Transformers were better. You seem unable to move forward and are stuck hopelessly in the past. Your logic is flawed. Sure without the success of the originals we never get to this point but that has no bearing on which works are better and more entertaining to my preferences.




I cannot wait but since you disagree you can still rewatch Boba scenes from the original.

What an ass of a pretend fan you are. Gladiator is not Superman. Different actors and different stories for Disney Star Wars. You can pretend they are the same but they are not. I am greatly excited for this series. You are not because in your mind every mandalorian is the same but you are missing the point. This series will do more for any mandalorian due to Disney not Lucas. This looks to be epic. Cannot wait.

Even though the 10yo in me wants it to be Boba Fett, I hope it isn't. Give us another bounty hunter's story, a clean slate is the way to go; no need to tie the story done with set lore, imo.

You are free to hate the Mandalorian and episode 9 but not me. My anticipation and excitement is through the roof. Just calm down in the future you do not speak for Star Wars just your own toxic self.

Wonder if the Rebels girl with the really stupid pink armor with artsy graffiti on it will be in this?

I get your point, but not having it be Boba (even if it is in spirit) frees the writers more.

eg This isn't the 'ultimate badass' who we know later on will get bonked with a stick by a blind Han and ends up punked at the bottom of the Sarlacc like some useless cockstain.

Bit of a low blow to Boba there but okay.

If it was Boba then he would have survived that.

I think the main issue around Boba is we basically already saw his face in the prequels. So instead of working around that, best to use a different character.

But yes this isnt the Ultimate Bad Ass. Because that was Boba.

Even Jump Wagon Boy Quan has conceded this Universe is all about power scaling.

Bobas death was always pathetic. So exited for this. Trailer blew me away.

It's true that a pathetic death absolutely kills the interest of a Star Wars character. Dying like a chump without seeing it coming is being an utter joke

Most star wars villains historically do not see it coming; Sidious, Dooku, Maul, etc.

Villains do not get very glorious send offs in this franchise for the most part. Vader had one of the most respectful ones and it's going to get retconned in the next movie

Vader's more of a tragic hero with a redemption angle thrown in.

You misrepresent your own position. I just have to sit here watching you make an ass out of yourself.

Boba could die taking a dump. Doesnt change the fact that The Madalorian is completely inspired by him.

But if you want an idea of how good Boba was, we can always power scale off Jango. And we all know youre suddenly a big fan of powerscaling

Boba is not Jango. Different experiences, etc. I look at all factors not just power scaling. This series is going to probably lead to me falling in love with the Mandalorian. You are still free to enjoy the original films. Cannot wait.

Was it really though. Your average person does now know about the EU and Boba's life after the Scarlacc pit. To them, he went out via comic relief.

Dunno, different actors playing a role isn't anything unheard of. Don't think this would be an issue if the wanted Boba Fett.

I meant if they decided to make this Boba. Then obviously that would have meant he survived like in the EU.

Well they would have been handcuffed in that they couldnt have cast Viper. Different colour skin and all.

Look fact is The basis of the show will be almost the same regardless. Making it a different character under the mask is just the illusion of this being different to what they originally had planned for the Boba movie.

Although Viper being an actual Mandalorian could be interesting if they follow the Mandalorian arcs set up in TCW and Rebels, which they no doubt will with Filoni being the co-creator.

In any case, expect some serious Fett worship in this, the way Kylo Ren worships Vader.

Kylo Ren is not Darth Vader. I for one think he is way cooler but anyone thinking they are exactly the same guy are just fooling themselves. Let the Ot be the Ot. This is new Disney content whether it is based on an original character or not. George Lucas is not driving the bus anymore.

You are so butthurt by Disney you keep missing the point this is Disneys Star Wars. They are driving it and making it far better, Lucas was the one who embarrassed Boba Fett and had him as a background character. I hope this is anew character entirely as I never cared for Boba but in any event this is not Lucas this is Disney. Your obsession with hating on the new Star Wars is kind of weird.

2nd trailer...

XmI7WKrAtqs

Still using battle droids by that point.

First Episode is guaranteed to Look Movie Quality. Will be fun to see how it looks after that.

Looks good enough to torrent.

About to start. Looks like Disney is not going to allow binge watching as only 1 episode is released

I agree and just finished the first episode..I am hooked. Great first episode with an awesome ending. Very intrigued.

holly F'ing shit, what a great 1st episode

Not seen yet, but good to hear Disney Star Wars is doing something good.

They should stick to the small screen now, and give up on the big screen.

OH...AND THAT ENDING

Episode was good. The only problem I had with it was the music. The music didn't fit and sounded too generic and not Star Wars-ey enough.

I didn't like it either, but to me it felt like they were trying to combine Star Wars type music with the stuff you'd typically find in westerns.

I think if Star Wars wasn't known for having some ridiculously good scoring it would be less noticeable.

what you guys think of the ending

I caught the first episode at a friend's place. Overall, I quite enjoyed it. Which is actually saying something, as I have been pretty burnt out on Star Wars in recent years.

Great 1st episode. Had that Star wars feel while looking up to date, liked the nods they were/are giving to the genres that inspired SW with the western-y end credit music, hope they're doing a Babycart arc for a few episodes at least.

i knew yoda baby would use the force

man these 1st 2 eppisodes have been reallly good..


ludwig's muuc score is awesome too

Episode 2, also good. So far so good.


Originally posted by BruceSkywalker

Let me rephrase what I said in my previous post. Some of the music in episode 1 sounded generic. The rest was good. Episode 2 music was great.
I like the Mando theme and all that. The only times I dint like the music in episode 1 was during a couple action sequences that they used some generic sounding action music. Episode 2 seems to have fixed that.

Great first episode.

Finally got around to watching this. Solid first two episodes

episode 3 is by far my fave episode so far

Really enjoyed first episode. Best thing disney has produced with star wars since purchase imho.

Episode 3 is awesome

Decent but not worth actually paying for the service

All 3 episodes had been pretty fantastic. Actually feels organically like SW unlike the new trilogy. And ive never been a fan of Boba or Mandalorians.

episode 4 was cleared inspired by seven samurai. nonetheless, a decent episode

Okay, not going to lie. This made me chuckle:

Show's a lot of fun. Whoever at Disney came up with baby Yoda deserves a promotion, gonna sell a lot of merchandise.

Wtf, this show is amazing.

There's been some great sci-fi shows in history.

Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly (ESPECIALLY Firefly), but this deserves to be up there as one of the best.

Finally no Jedi involved, just a Mando being a Mando, dude's only human, he's not invincible, he's skilled, but he's not on the level of Boba or Jango, or a Jedi, hell there are probably other people in the show that could take him, he's very relatable I feel.

Everyone's talking about Baby Yoda but man, Mando is something else as well.

Eh? You know SW has an Expanded Universe right? Where Boba does crazy shit like beating up Jedi in fights and taking on Darth Vader.

Anyway glad to see you agree, great show, the anticipation for the finale is driving me crazy, I just can't wait for them to release it on blu-ray.

Non-Canon

Originally posted by Inhuman
Non-Canon Parts of it, yes, but Disney only made the old ones non-canon to make room for the new ones.

Boba still, to my knowledge, has some kick-ass comic books that are canon.

Anyway, I can't wait for episode 8, every day is agonizing waiting for it, so I've been watching some other shows like Batman Beyond, nothing SW-based has scratched my itch so far.

boba isn't even a mandalorian.. den is far greater than him anyway..

It started off strong, but gets kind of progressively dumber.


I mean, Mando just makes some odd decisions. And gets his butt kicked way too often for a walking arsenal that can fly.

Main problem is I keep asking "where are they going with this", because right now it has a directionless sitcom vibe to it where situations are forced in, just to bring on the wacky hijinks.

I dont know why people have an issue with this. You want Mando to be some kind of invincible mary sue that always wins?
That is why i dont like a lot of the EU, because they make certain characters into these types of mary sues.

Same people that complain about Mando not being "bad ass" enough are the same people that complain Rey is a mary sue which is hypocritical.

Mando not always being invincible is great and makes for far a better interesting character.

There is an episode where Mando has to transport this frog alien to another planet where her husband lives and works. She needs to get there so he can fertilize the eggs she has laid, which are the last ones she will ever be able to create and the last of her entire ancestral line. The eggs are kept in a specialized container. Throughout the episode baby Yoda eats several eggs lol. And it is played for laughs too(the lady is unaware but mando sees it). Even after she guns down an alien and saves his life he eats another egg once she is asleep. I found it funny, but some got triggered.

So translation: fired for doing the same type of hyperbolic bullshit dems have been doing for years via calling folk nazis, comparing trump to hitler, ice detention centers to concentration camps, etc.

She made an Instagram post which apparently read as follows:

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children... Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?"

She also apparently made some joke post about pronouns a couple of months back on one of her social media accounts.

^ She also implied the pandemic was fake, as was the election result. So she has said a lot of stupid shit no doubt. Just not sure she should be fired for that.

But then again the plan was for her to have her own show, so then her stupid shot would stand out more then.

How did she imply the pandemic or the election results were fake? Can you link me to the comments she made so that we're on the same page? Not that I particularly care about the US election in and of itself, but I would like to see exactly why she's being cancelled.

If a woman can lose her job for bad comparisons and lousy opinions I guess Joss Whedon will get decapitated in life tv

Oh right, patriarchy, he'll be fine awesr

This page pretty much covers all her controversial tweets:

Well to be fair, he was taken off that Batgirl project. And not sure what hes doing nowadays.

That said, let people have their own opinions. Let them tweet crazy shit, as long as theyre not being racist, rapy, or encouraging violence.

I liked her character on Mandalorian, so im kind of gutted, and really dont care she says some stupid shit.

Is Disney going to be cutting loose everyone who has said dumb shit or just the conservatives? James Gunn made a bunch of creepy pedo jokes, but this is okay. Gina questions the election and nah gotta go. Pedro can make all the faulty comparisons involving nazis he wants, but he's a leftist with his pronouns in his twitter bio so he gets a pass.

The fact of the matter is Disney just isn't consistent and now they have potentially impacted future projects. Rumors were Robert Downey Jr. wanted to be play Thrawn. Well he's also come out strongly against cancel culture recently, so if the rumors about him and Thrawn are true who knows if he is still interested.

Carl Weathers and Gina are close, he was also supposed to be involved in the rangers show. With her gone, if he also exits then what about that show?

Then there is the larger impact on the company, not from people who necessarily care Gina was fired, but who are using this to (validly) point out Disney's cucking to China, their racism to John Boyega, their hiring of known sex offenders, etc.

The china thing and the racism bit are definitely things they will not want to see be given more oxygen. Disney of course so big there will be no "get woke go broke" here, but there perhaps will be "Get woke, go too far, people stop taking you seriously". Go look at the recent comments on disneys twitter now, random posts that dont have anything to do with gina or star wars or anything are seeing various people responding bringing up...China lol. The whole cucking to China. Some might scoff "it's just twitter" but they bent the knee to the twitter mob so they clearly care about what these people think.

Having said all that I don't want Pedro Pascal fired. It shouldn't happen, but it would if they were consistent and had the morals some have claimed. I also don't want RDJ to walk away from playing Thrawn if he is truly interested. Maybe he never truly was, but given he is tight with Favreau I'm guessing this is why the rumor was taken even a little bit seriously.

Maybe this isn't even about politics maybe it is just good ol' fashioned sexism. Or classism. Pedro is worth more hence he can get away with more. The exact kind of special treatment progressives are against.

I dont feel she should be fired, but just in terms of context, James Gunns tweets were long in the past, and he apologised for them. Plus according to John Campea, Gina got plenty of warnings and opportunities to stop, Gunn got none when he was fired.

She was also encouraging potentially dangerous conspiracy theories. Pedro was not as far as im aware.

That said, you may have a point that they dont seem to go after more left/woke individuals.

Pedro's tweets weren't that long ago. And your context about Gunn would be more relevant if Disney had responded to his tweets by saying "we disagree with these kind of jokes, but they were in the past and we look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Gunn in the future as long as he upholds the Disney family standards" or some nonsense like that. That isn't what happened though.

Democrats questioned the 2016 election for 4 years. Pedro equated anyone wearing a maga hat to a nazi and people have been attacked just for wearing those hats. So he was 100% fueling dangerous conspiracies that could get people hurt, just apparently not one that had anything to do with the election.

EDIT: Also not only does it seem like disney targets conservatives more, but in general even if you step back beyond disney it also seems like any statement a conservative makes is interpreted in the worst possible way imaginable, while the same is not done to the other side.

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see her other posts included in that article. Just the writer's interpretation of them. And I'd rather blow my brains out than listen to 8 minutes of that idiot from The Quartering rambling on.

But anyway, I did some digging around, and it looks like it's a couple of dumb social media posts, some of which can be interpreted in different ways and one that is a blatant joke... And now she needs to have her livelihood destroyed? Because apparently the agency that represented her also dropped her and some people seemingly want her social media accounts, which helps her advertise herself, terminated as well. So much for the land of the free lol. But whatever. If that's what they want to turn their country into, it's on them.

The thing that actually pisses me off though is Disney's excuse for their actions. "Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable." The same fukin company who is not only happy to shoot films outside Uighur Muslims camps, camps full of people who are persecuted for their cultural and religious identities, but thanked the people running the camps for being allowed to do so? The same company who removed Finn from a number of their Chinese advertisements for Star Wars because of how racist the Chinese are towards black people and they were afraid of losing money?

I don't give a shit about American politics specifically, hence why I almost never post in the American news-dominated GDF. I live in South Africa, which has its own mountain of problems. But I utterly despise hypocritical double standards when confronted by them. Disney is happy with indulging religious persecution and racism as long as their wallets benefit, yet the moment it's the opposite their tune changes. You should always call out the bad. Not just when it's to your benefit to do so.

1) Pedro didnt make remarks about Jews though. Or spread potentially dangerous conspiracy theories. Im not sure what your point on Gunn is. His tweets were A LOT WORSE. But they were well in the Past and he was very apologetic about them.

2) Your politicians are all f***ing whiny. But Democrats are not on Disneys payroll (I dont think). Whats a maga hat? You all seem to shout out Nazis. Think issue with hers was comparing herself to a persecuted Jew.

3) Seems true.
