US: The Mandalorian

[MissChief]

Starts about 15 minutes in.

They blacked out the trailer for the live stream. What a ******* joke.

It's all over YouTube
A sizzle real, a scene, a special effects bit and some more clips

Very hard to read too much into anything we've seen so far, obviously. But first impressions are good; good team behind it, big budget (not needed to make good TV of course, but this obviously has a big scope), and on first glance, it looks like they're almost going for a space western vibe, which I like. They mentioned gunslinger a few times, for instance. Fingers crossed.

Looks promising

I initially thought this was gonna be about Bobba Fett (he did supposedly escape the pit trough a canon recognized novel). Looks interesting though.

That's probably been the biggest stumbling block for a live action series in the past. It has to look authentic which really means at least some CGI as a minimum, or a lot of they want it to be done properly which costs.

Yeah, and huge crews, sets and sound stages etc. Disney are certainly giving them the tools to make a real go of it.

Anything that isn't a poorly zoomed in and shaky blurred mess?

Not that I could find but I only looked quickly.

When Disney bought star wars they basically said all the extended universe stuff that was canon no longer counts. I've read the story you mean, he does survive the sarlaac.

From Prince Oberyn the viper to Mandalorian

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Not forgetting the excellent Narcos!

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Some leaked footage!

 

[McBain]

Apparently Gina Carano is in this? I was interested before, now I'm more interested.

 

[V_R]

Yes she is, was on the panel posted earlier.

Ahh well if the first order is anything to go by, everyone left much have come from "special school" to allow such an abomination to come to power. Even May`s Tory goverment is better than the first order.... Its that bad really really really bad.

So I have zero hopes or interest in star wars unless its rebooted from the very very start and that means when YODA didn't have a bad back.

Just spotted this thread. I hoped it was going to be about Sabine's search for Ezra Bridger.
