They started off 30 years after RotJ and have been stuck between 3 and 4 in everything else. They're already talking about an Ahsoka movie.

This is a breath of fresh air, but still. The SW universe before TPM is extremely vast and they could work on that moving forward. I'm done with post-RotS and post-RotJ as at this point.

Holy wow. That was an amazing fucking episode with a huge fucking Star Wars revelation.

I'll use the spoilers tags.

The main character became instantly likeable and it was such a strange experience. None of that bullshit you see with setting up a new series, so it kind of felt like you had no idea where it's going.

We've been hearing about a Star Wars series for almost 2 decades now and when it finally happened, it was pretty damn good.

IG-11 played by Taikai Waititi was a cool addition.

And holy shit at the fucking ending. Was that Yoda's son or just another of his species? That was fucking insane. As I said, that was a huge revelation.

However, the CGI is pretty garbo overall. It's a mix of bad CGI and a bad mockery of the OT effects. Regardless, some great throwbacks and Easter eggs.

Can't wait till episode 2.

I've seen a few things about the mandalorian and ever since I played shadows of the empire on N64, I've wanted to see IG-88 I'm some other star wars media because that motherfucker was the first time I ever experienced an actually intelligent AI. One ad for mandalorian showed a droid that looked like him and when I clicked on the article, the caption in the picture confirmed it. I'm normally not hyped for star wars but I am for that character.

It's a 50 year old baby from Yoda's species. Basically still a newborn, which the main character brings up, and IG tells him that different species age differently. IG's assignment is to kill the baby, while the main character's is dead or alive. So he kills IG instead and saves the baby.

yoo I just looked IG-88 up and noticed something odd Im wondering if you can explain:

Far more terrifying than battle droids were assassin droids, independently programmed mechanical killers that had no masters.

https://www.starwars.com/databank/ig-88

Why the heck would they not have masters? What would be the point of someone making one of these lol

Oooh wow so wait was Yoda supposed to be the last of his kind? And the main char is the Mandalorian/Pedro Pascal, right? And he was sent for the baby, or IG-88 dead or alive?

Is that new lore?

I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I was more into it than a pure casual. I thought IG-88 was like reprogrammed or malfunctioning or something which gave him no restraints that other droids had.

No idea. I don't know his backstory, just that he was badass in the game if you didn't know how to deal with him. First time I fought him, he evaded me around the arena and disappeared and I was like wtf where did he go? I could hear him. He sounded close. Suddenly he fell from some catwalks and landed right behind me and rekt me before I could even turn around. I had never experienced AI like that at the time (seems silly now but back then it really shocked me)

Yes, IG-11, another of the same model is in it and he was pretty badass.

Yeah, you may be confusing it with the old plans to make a Boba Fett movie set after Solo.

We don't know much about his species. I don't think there's anything to say he was the last, but a 50 year old baby kind of fits with Yoda fooling around with Yaddle during the PT lol.

Regardless, it seems someone from the Empire's remnants wants him dead. So they hired the main character to bring him dead or alive. Alive only because a scientist insisted on it. IG-11 was given the same mission, but he was told just to kill him. The main character and IG-11 teamed up, but came at odds at the end goal, so IG-11 was killed.

Yeah, Pascal is the main character. There's no name yet. Everyone calls hims a Mandalorian.

Yeah, free 7 day trial. Gets you 2 episodes because the next episode is this Friday.

For starters, Pascal gets paid less if he's not brought alive. And second, I think it's tough for a human to just shoot a baby. The Droid wouldn't have this issue.

Haven't seen it yet (I'll wait until the season ends and try to binge it) but Yoda's species is one of the very few things that Star Wars and the expanded universe hasn't touched, and of course they're throwing it into the first episode of the tv show.

We are in pretty unexplained lore territory, so who knows. Given what little we do know, I would say that the Mandalorian, being a foundling child himself, probably has some reservations regarding a orphaned child.

I liked the episode. It might have leaned a little too hard on the western feel with the blurrg scene with the Ugnaught, but otherwise I really enjoyed it. I will be sad if that's the last of IG-11 though. He was fun and super dynamic-looking during that shootout.

I think it's just to kinda foreshadow him connecting with the baby rather than just turning it over to the Imperials

I really want to know where shit is going with Baby Yoda. Especially since he can use the fucking Force. Wtf.

Btw, is this planet Tatooine?
