So I realize that I have no one to blame but myself for this, but I had a carefully worked out theory in my mind that Yoda, whatever species he is, looked the way he did because he was 900 years old, i.e. he had once been considerably taller with shorter ears and was possibly less green as well. I assumed he had lived 900 years through his supreme mastery of The Force, not because he comes from a species that regularly lives 900 years old (and btw the 50 year "babyhood" or w/e makes no fucking sense even if his species lives 900 years - most animals don't spend 5+% of their lives as infants).

You’re not alone in that first thought.

Loads of insects are grubs for months and only mature for days or hours though.

he's not really an infant tbf, he walks around and drinks soup out of bowls much more effectively than my 2 year old. baby yoda catchier than advanced toddler yoda

adam, Tuesday, 3 December 2019 19:39 (four years ago) link

yeah, he's basically a 2.5 year old, which means that 900 is basically 45 which means that Yoda really should have taken better care of himself. The Force is no substitute for healthy eating and regular exercise.

I’ve been comparing him to my 22 month old and thinking they’re pretty close. Baby Yoda is less messy. That thing in the first couple of episodes was a stroller, not a crib.

But I mean that's still doing it proportional to human years, whereas basically no other species works that way. Tortoises live like 120 years but it doesn't take them over a year to walk.

reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 21:57 (four years ago) link

there are species that age differently and i don't think it's so troubling that the ultra rare unknown species yoda belongs to might be one of these

Mordy, Tuesday, 3 December 2019 22:01 (four years ago) link

or maybe this shit's all made up

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 22:09 (four years ago) link

imo 900-yr-old yoda is also still a baby in ref his species (clues: small, can't talk in the right order, neoteny to the max by design)

how old is yaddle?

No results found for "larval blobby"

mark s, Thursday, 5 December 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link

as we all know, that's because blobby's larval stage occurred outside the human conception of spacetime and attempting to render his extradimensional form as an image would shatter a human mind

it was only once he was extruded into our four-dimensional space by forces still unknown that we could experience his presence, albeit only as a fragment of his true image

Lots of fan service this week.

People seem to be making a big leap regarding that closing shot

groovypanda, Friday, 6 December 2019 14:27 (four years ago) link

It's always Darth Vader uh hang on.

The question is, was Amy Sedaris's hair model Sigourney Weaver or Brian May?

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 December 2019 03:59 (four years ago) link

Diminishing returns these last two episodes. More and more cornball "guest stars" and it's beginning to feel like some hokey '70s sci fi tv show all of a sudden.
And what's with young Frankie Valli as a bounty hunter?

SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 7 December 2019 05:41 (four years ago) link

Finally the Star Wars Christmas Special sequel we've always yearned for.

Maybe if Amazon or Netflix gets jealous they will make a Strontium Dog tv show.

earlnash, Sunday, 8 December 2019 03:19 (four years ago) link

This episode was pointless, and the young guy's acing was distractingly bad. (At least they finally checked off the "visits actual Tatooine" box...)

...make that "acting" (Jon Lovitz voice)

Frozen II Outtakes Playlist (morrisp), Monday, 9 December 2019 07:08 (four years ago) link

This is a dumb question, but why does everyone know to call him "Mando"? That's just b/c he's a Mandalorian, right? Would they call any random Mandalorian "Mando"?

Frozen II Outtakes Playlist (morrisp), Monday, 9 December 2019 07:10 (four years ago) link

Yes, but the implication is that there are not many of them around anymore

Number None, Monday, 9 December 2019 08:21 (four years ago) link

The Tuskan Raiders teleporting to 9 ft away was kinda hilarious, then continuing the comedy by doing that weird, cagey sign language, which The Mandalorian initiates by being David Byrne in the Once In A Lifetime video.

Jay Vee is otm, wouldn't be surprised if Favreau was a big Salvage One fan.

NBC's "Buck Rogers" :)

SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 9 December 2019 13:30 (four years ago) link

I could have sworn the music playing as they rode over the dunes was meant to sound like Toto’s “Africa.” (Wouldn’t put it past this show!)

Pedro Pascal is seriously in everything these days.

The bounty hunter wannabe kid is Bobby Cannavale's son!

mh, Monday, 9 December 2019 15:43 (four years ago) link

One more thing: I had guessed that the standard-seeming plot had been nicked from an episode of some old Western, and they’d have to credit the original writer at the end... guess not, though.

Frozen II Outtakes Playlist (morrisp), Monday, 9 December 2019 15:54 (four years ago) link

Certainly didn't get many of his pop's acting chops though, I thought he was terrible. Amy Sedaris didn't bother me nearly as much as he did. And here I thought young Solo was a charisma suck...

No wonder I disliked him lol!

SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 9 December 2019 17:22 (four years ago) link

it was brought to my attention on twitter that Disney+ has an impressive array of audio tracks/subtitles

want to watch The Mandalorian dubbed into Polish with Portuguese (Portugal or Brazil flavor) subtitles? they've got you covered

mh, Monday, 9 December 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link

After Bryce Dallas Howard told me last week that she never worked with Pedro Pascal while shooting her episode of #TheMandalorian, I did my best to find out who, exactly, was most often below the helmet. https://t.co/31yuEsDrMv

The supporting players for the last few weeks have been turrrrrible. Like they plopped in from "Zeena" or "Breaking Bad" or something only this time decked out in Star Wars-y costumes/makeup but acting like folks who would serve you a burger/fill your gastank at a NJ Turnpike rest stop.
What a dip in quality!

bounty hunting is a complicated profession

I was surprised that Mando used to run with the Sons of Anarchy, but everyone’s gotta start out somewhere

What is it with Star Wars casting British comedy actors as droids?
