Star Wars: The Mandalorian

lol, nice

hopefully they tip their hand fully and just start referring to baby yoda as "cub"

If Pascal doesnt take his mask off all season I want my pirated money back.

Someone on Twitter theorized that the Mandalorian must ***POTENTIAL SPOILER***

be a woman; because that's what it always means when someone's face isn't shown in one of these things, it's like a rule.

xpost U criminal

heh.

Hah, my 8-year old came home from school last week and said that he heard the Mandalorian was "really a girl".

So Boba Fett is going to have some kind of heartwarming journey with baby yoda and then ... get killed by Han Solo in the most humiliating way possible? I feel bad for the kids who are coming to this fresh.

it's not boba fett

this takes place years after Boba Fett is ostensibly dead

it's going to develop into a complex may/december love story between the 50-something year-old baby of yoda and the thirty-something child of boba fett
surely rule 34 already applies here somewhere (please do not link to examples)

It’s his son, Fetty Wap

Haha, right? I was doubtful those conversations existed any longer!

ohhhhhhhh

How dare you not know everything about the franchise.

My missus was getting all confused with the timeline of the movies when I was trying to tell her when this takes place. I told her she can look up a timeline on the web. She asked, there's that kind of stuff on the Internet?

I...admire your wife's sincere unawareness of that.

that is mostly what the internet is, I was heard to remark

she is a great time

I really should give it a couple more decades at least before assuming that people just kinda know that stuff's out there somewhere, just in case.

The chronology of these various things can be a little confusing, even if you are paying relatively close attn.

i just assume everyone knows the Prioress' story and get frustrated when they confuser her with the Friar.

my brain's fried and I forgot only twitter gets a preview

“I have seen it on the set. I’ve seen it on the set,” he began, before veering into a passionate elucidation of his feelings on the petite marionette. “And it’s heartbreaking! It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.”

He explained that he witnessed two technicians operating its various mechanisms—"one was for the eyes and the mouth and the other one was for other facial expressions"—and that it was "a phenomenal technological achievement but, beyond the technological achievement, it’s heartbreaking.”

When the interviewer asked him to elaborate on why exactly it was so heartbreaking, he shook his head wistfully and admitted that he didn’t know why it touched his soul so deeply. He hadn't even seen it onscreen yet. “It looked absolutely convincing,” he continued. “It made you cry when you saw it.”

I just keep wondering who changes its diaper...

(They showed a space toilet, they opened the door to this.)

the back side of the force

i was worried it wasn't eating anything or getting fluids. then it ate the frog.
still worried about it staying hydrated tho.

also – can Herzog be serious when he says he's never watched star wars?!

yes

does he strike you as a prevaricator?

he has a weird sense of humour.

a prevaricator

Isn’t that one of those creatures Luke fought in Jabba’s palace(?)

a point for which I reserve a fair bit of rancor

after herzog got shot DURING a filmed interview, i don't question anything he says

what

It was not significant.

oops ned 3days ago haha guess whos high rn

Haven't seen Ep 2 yet, but baby yoda didn't look more than a year old - so at a 50-1 human to yoda years ratio, actual yoda was a teenager when he was leaping around fighting count dooku, then he died a decrepit old man 6 months later.

Yoda was born in 896 BBY... he’s 874 when he fights Dooku, and he’s 900 when he dies in ROTJ.

Another way of looking at it is that 10 years of aging for Yoda’s species equals 1 human year; and so the baby in the show would be the equivalent of “5.” That’s a long infancy period... but I guess they needed to set up the reveal with a misdirection about the target’s age (and it wouldn’t have worked to say “10,” we’d still be expecting a child).

Another discrepancy is that Yoda had learned his skills and began training Jedi at age 100; so all things being equal, The Mandalorian baby has a lot of growing to do in the next 50 years.

My No-Prize attempt: that baby is a lazy asshole, and could totally be walking around and training like Yoda was at his age; it just likes being shuttled around.
