Star Wars: The Mandalorian

I meant like Vegas-style, not Disney style. Or is there a Vegas Star Wars resort opening, too?

I agree with Moodles that this should ideally be a musical, set in 1920s Chicago, and if possible called Chicago the Musical: a Star Wars Story.

That's exactly what I was saying

Start the speeder
I know a yubnub spot
Where the milk is blue
Cause Tatooine is hot
Bring a droid, you're a fool
And there's a nightly duel
And all
That
Jizz

xpost Except way, way gayer.

They really just need to keep piling on the gay until the toxic fans all collapse from rage strokes.

You didn't need the xpost there, really.

I realized as soon as I xposted.

I was born with stars in my eyes, watching the skies, asking myself why was I born with these feeeeeeeelings?
Dreams of death stars, outer space wars, battles that would leave you reeeeeeeeeling.
One of these days I will be one of them, one of these days I'll be outgunning them ...
One of these days I'll be outmanning them, every last one-man of them, again and again, you can't force me to stop when the heavens they have no clear ceeeeeeeeiling ....

The usual io9 breakdown of these things, ie trailers.

Every moment where like a character says 'stop being so SALACIOUS, you CRUMB'

real life lol

are they putting out the whole series on Nov 12 Netflix style or is it coming out week by week Hulu style?

Week by week

URL pretty much gives it all away, no reason to even click.

Do you watch any television?

I do, I watch the news from different sources. Sometimes I see things that are completely against my cultural nature. I was raised with Latin and Ancient Greek and poetry from Greek antiquity, but sometimes, just to see the world I live in, I watch “WrestleMania.”

An unexpected choice.

You have to know what a good amount of the population is watching. Do not underestimate the Kardashians. As vulgar as they may be, it doesn’t matter that much, but you have to find some sort of orientation. As I always say, the poet must not close his eyes, must not avert them.

So you’ve been watching “Keeping Up With the Kardashians?”

I’m starting to discover it. I’m curious; that’s my guiding principal.

In all seriousness, there are so many great quotes in that interview that cutting and pasting is pointless.

Favreau has made some highly successful films recently; did you feel an element of pressure working with him?

I do not know what other films he has made.

You don’t?

No.

Yeah, Herzog strikes me as an abyss-gazer, for sure.

these things are only foreign to you if you let them be foreign

pretty sure underestimating the kardashians is a risk-free proposition, what a silly thing to convince yourself of. "It's important to keep tabs on what regular people are into", says the director of Fata Morgana

to confuse the mundane with the depraved is a common mistake

(I'm mumbling these in a Herzog impersonation voice as I type)

One must unflinchingly look into the dark heart of the culture to comprehend the behavior of the most debased among us.

Reminded of this old gem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYEQh9IkVXU

hits all kinds of genre conventions in a tight 40 minutes, excellent settings and costume work, would watch many more episodes

This was fun!

someone in my group dm made a salient point. herzog's future obits now to read: "star wars actor werner herzog dies age 95"

Imagine that : a Star Wars tv series that seems more attuned to what made the original films work than the current SW films do.

The blurrg CGI was... not good.

Oh Jesus Christ they're going to sell a zillion dollars in toys of the big reveal.

There were a couple of blurg shots that were off, true.

Getting some _Lone Wolf and Cub_ vibes off that ending.

It is good to know that Salacious Crumbs make excellent BBQ.

This was good! Surprisingly good! Some of the animation is a little wobbly and the music is overbearing but otherwise absolutely hitting the last streak of affection i have for this godforsaken universe. Would recommend.

Also: Posehn!

Looked cheap, badly acted, ropey dialogue. Really disappointed.

The metal guy in the last sequence was good though (avoiding spoilers)

why can't we have like a sitcom or a procedural or an inner city high school drama or really anything set in this universe besides Bounty Hunter Who Is Good At Shooting show

tbf looks cheap, badly acted, ropey dialogue is pretty much a description of A New Hope

good editing and music, though

a new hope looks great, wtf

I dunno, if remove the nostalgia blinders I can kinda see where he's coming from tbh

how dare u, those fire extinguisher droids have been beloved fan favourites for five decades now

Mandalorian version of Too Old to Die Young I would watch.

I was glad to see a little trash can dude again. The "cheap" look compared to the fancier planets is definitely intentional.

the CGI on the blurg cowboy guy was pretty rough though

if they really want the old look how about some puppets and miniatures

did I say looking cheap is bad? looking cheap is good imo

let me see here..... it was Tsar

As an adult male, watching a space fantasy on a children's streaming service, I thought this was enjoyable.

my baseline for evaluating it as a Lucasfilm television project is "is this better than The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles?"

Tsar Wars. Mostly big in Russia. The twist where it turns out Darth Rasputin had been Tsarevitch Alexeis father all along. Formative.

going in with low expectations I was able to enjoy this as well.

I'm psyched they let Dave Filoni direct the kickoff to their live action project

Not to call you out in particular, but my optic nerves are fit to snap from all the eye-rolling induced by this arms-length approach to so-called 'children's entertainment' errbody is engaged in of late. As if the bulk of so-called 'adult entertainment' isn't hot + steamy compost. If it isn't promoting hate or something, there's really no need to apologetically qualify one's enjoyment of a cultural object. IMVHO.

Myth translates as 'motorbike' in High Mandalorian

Caught up finally. Would be pretty happy honestly if that was the end of the show, everything feels pretty wrapped up, but I know that Disney probably won't let a massively successful show like this die gracefully. Rumor has it the Rangers of the New Republic stuff will be repurposed here - it looks like they already started with all the Coruscant stuff, Carson Teva, etc.

Really glad terribly-named Nite Owl AXE WOVES didn't die pointlessly as it looked like was gonna happen

And if Gideon survived that shit, or it was a clone, I will be pretty pissed off honestly

Saw an article the other week that said Favreau has 10 seasons planned

It took me until now to realize he's part man, part DeLorean

Watch the brand new trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu and experience it only in theaters May 22, 2026. pic.twitter.com/ivPOmVwd9F

epic bacon, the movie?

So it actually is called The Mandalorian and Grogu? And it's a feature film? On the one hand it's great that they got to the point, but on the other and it's very basic. The trailer has the whiff of AI. It has things happening, but nothing happens.

Imagine if it was called A Star Wars Story: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu: Episode Four: Grogu and The Mandalorian: The Mandalorian. They could probably extend it so that the title fills the entire opening crawl.

THIS

IS

THE

WAY

following Andor, this just seems insanely goofy

I was joking with a friend this morning that they should just make it as goofy as possible. Grogu gets a girlfriend. She's a reboot of the Gina Carano character from the earlier episodes.

my friend is lobbying for the inclusion of Jar Jar Binks' cousinn Jib Jorp

recycle all the gags from Gremlins--

Grogu tries to stand on a record player but gets thrown against the wall when it starts revolving

Grogu is visited by ghost Yoda and they dance

It feels loose for sure but I think I'm fine with that -- like it'll allow for that a bit more than Solo did, not having to backstory it up.

AT-ATs trudging up a narrow mountain slope rmde but also yes hahaha yes

Exactly!

It sounds like a '70s sitcom.

Chico and the Mandalorian

Bob & Carol & Grogu & the Mandalorian

Grogu & the Professor

The Mandalorian & J.J.

Laverne & Grogu

grogu took down that AT-AT thing hardcore

that is a dud trailer, expects you to be delighted by baby yoda but that is a very 5 years ago expectation

presumably the actual film will have a plot though

feel like the title font is going for “rollicking retro-tinged adventure” which was what the OG show did best

Yeah this trailer didn’t excite me at all. Very much the goofy Grogu show and not showing me any action set pieces I haven’t seen before. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of AT-AT’s fall down before. Just because this one’s on a cliff doesn’t really juice it up.

what if... two AT-AT fall off cliff

What if Grogu meets a baby AT-AT?

ok now we're talking

Let me see an AT-AT wobble

Now Tano I can get into

Imagine if Grogu uses his force powers to mentally enslave a burly guy, so that they end up like Master-Blaster from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, with Grogu riding on his back like a human Tauntaun.

It would be The Adventures of Grogu Adultman. In the final scenes Blaster will sustain a mortal injury, and Grogu will comfort him by brushing him with a brush and saying "you're a good horsey".

And then in the post-credits scene Werner Herzog will do something funny.

No, post-credits will flash forward 500 years to full-grown Grogu visiting the Mandalorian's grave and then turning on his Sith lightsaber.

I can't convince my wife to watch Andor because I lost all credibility with my early excitement for this show.

i hate these kind of teasers where it’s just production slop stapled together like “heres your thin gruel NERDS”

like i’m not even anticipating this movie & now i’m actively annoyed that it exists

this is the way

The only thing I like about this is the pulpy font for the title.
