I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold
welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my Star Wars the Mandalorian
Episode one video so I'll break everything down there was a whole bunch
of Easter eggs obviously it's just the first episode they'll be eighth this
season so if you're brand new to my channel I'll be doing videos for all
them be sure to subscribe to get everything
I'll do a Star Wars giveaway for all the videos - careful for spoilers from the
episode if you haven't seen it yet but we'll just do top 10 and Easter eggs
as we go along so starting with number 10 the place in the setting in the time
period the series takes place five years after Return of the Jedi mostly in the
Outer Rim territories we don't know exactly where it takes place they
haven't said which planet's these are but they'll be visiting a bunch of
different planets during the series for the most part it seems like we're going
to new places that we haven't seen before but with a lot of Easter eggs for
things from the classic trilogy from the books from the expanded universe they're
REE canonizing some things there's even some stuff from the Star Wars Holiday
Special in here - as of right now the Empire has already lost the battle of
jakku and what was left of their fleet was taken by the Imperials that seized
command in the chaos there was a bit of an imperial Civil War at jakku using
special maps from one of emperor palpatine secret caches on jakku to plot
a course through the unknown regions where they would eventually grow into
the first order but that didn't happen until many years later so right now the
galaxy is still in chaos and the new Republic has not been formed by the
rebellion yet so everybody is still scrambling for power as you'll see over
the next couple of episodes not every Imperial left to go form the first order
so there's still a lot of people that are trying to maintain or restore what
power they had under imperial rule number nine meet the Mandalorian though
so you sort of get that intro with the special musical cues just to let you
know what the series is going to be like and what his character does it's sort of
a tutorial on the series in general this opening scene in the cantina bit of a
callback to obi-wan throwing down in the cantina and Star Wars a new hope -
opening with a scene of them doing something really badass to let you know
how hardcore they are apparently the Mandalorians name / Pedro Pascal is
denge aren but we don't know quite how to spell that yet I haven't seen it
written only spoken Pedro Pascal did an interview here where he revealed that
name there's a couple big East during this big cantina fight so we get
our first tutorial on beskar steel best not scratch it because it's almost
priceless beskar steel is the special metal that Mandalorians used to make all
their weapons in their armor it's way stronger than Duras steel which is the
most common type of metal used to make ships and other weapons it's way more
resistant to blaster fire and it's resistant to lightsabers they don't
mention the great Jedi war that the Mandalorians had thousands of years ago
but as we go through this series I'll do more relevant backstory on the
Mandalorian cultures history you notice that the bartender slides him a
replacement drink on the house but it's empty because the bartender knew that
the Mandalorian was going to beat the crap out of those two dudes and wanted
to help him do it the one that's spitting insults at the blue mithril is
actually speaking Huttese it's one of the major languages of the criminal
underworld of the Star Wars Galaxies the blue mithril you may recognize as
horatio sanz from Saturday Night Live - he was our first really big cameo in the
episode but number 8 beware the rabbinic so this area is mostly covered in a
frozen ocean when he goes to secure the taxi to get to his ship the alien that
helps him is a Kubas first seen during episode 4 this speeder that pulls up is
a slightly modified version of Luke Skywalker's land speeder from episode 4
driven by an r2 unit but he doesn't like droids then we get our second big
celebrity cameo its Brian Posehn and driving the taxi may he rest in peace he
takes them to the Mandalorian ship which is called the razor crest it's a pre
Empire patrol ship modified to suit his bounty hunting lifestyle but the Easter
Egg for its design is that it's actually based on Jango Fett's ship from the
video game Star Wars bounty hunter that some of you probably played but not
before the rabbinic eats Brian Posehn and his land speeder in a very jaws
esque scene shark in the water it's a brand new creature that they created for
the show but it's kind of like a rancor crossed with a giant hippopotamus the
next big easter egg is actually for the Star Wars Holiday Special
so his signature rifle with the dual teeth at the end he uses to shock it
away his Boba Fett's rifle from the Star Wars Holiday Special
that cartoon was also the very first appearance of the Boba Fett character
and yes Boba Fett did appear during this episode when he's going to get his
car pauldron made by the smith in the background he passes someone wearing
armor that looks identical to Boba Fett's green Mandalorian armor number
seven the Carbonite freezer obviously big easter egg for Empire
Strikes Back and Han Solo being frozen in carbonite but the myth world tries to
fake having to go to the bathroom we see what is probably our very first space
toilet in the Star Wars universe ever at least I'm pretty sure when he
accidentally opens the weapons Locker you also see Han Solo's blaster on the
wall when he's thumbing through the Carbonite bounties you noticed that the
aliens are all major characters from the original trilogy from Episode four to
Jabba's palace and Return of the Jedi the first one is a Rodian r.i.p Greedo
you may have also seen yesterday there was a bit of an Internet controversy on
Disney Plus yesterday with the 4k restoration version of a new hope
number 6 grief carga and the bounty hunters guild so Carl Weathers plays the
administrator of the batty hunters guild the guild itself was only created right
after the fall of the Empire so their organization in the bounty Puck's that
they use all that stuff is only a couple years old you get a shout out to Mon
Calamari Admiral Ackbar's homeworld we get a reminder of the state of the
galaxy times are tough no one wants to pay guild rates they give another shout
out to Star Wars underworld during their conversation which is actually a shout
out to the original live-action Star Wars TV series that Ronald D Moore
worked on they wrote 50 plus scripts but then wound up scrapping the series at
the last minute before they started to shoot it but then number 5 we learn
about the client so everyone probably knows at least a little bit who Werner
Herzog is or you just remember his voice from some project that he did you may
also remember him he did some Rick and Morty during season 2 interdimensional
cable that was pretty funny based on the necklace that he's wearing
in the episode it seems like he's a former Imperial magistrate trying to
retain some power in the chaos in the fact that he's commanding all these
stormtroopers he also has a very official looking Imperial doctor working
for him the Droid that opens the door for him is the same Droid managing the
gate at Jabba's palace and there's also a gonk droid that walks him back through
the hallway they have their three-way Mexican standoff moment and we get
another shout-out to beskar steel and the bounty itself the amount of
money in beskar that he's offering the Mandalorian
is actually priceless the magistrate makes it very very clear that he wants
the bounty terminated but the doctor insists that it be brought back alive
that's important for later that'll come back around in a future episode but he
also lets us know what happened to the Mandalorians under imperial rule
terrible what happened to your people then later the Mandalorian armor when
she sees the beskar says this must have been taken during the purge so it
sounds like the Empire stole all the Mandalorians beskar and that's where
a lot of this beskar these being offered as bounty came from number four
the weapon Smith and all the flashbacks to the prequels so on the way to the
Smith you see a salacious crumb species roasting on a spit and what in a cage
just meant to be a funny Easter Egg for Return of the Jedi and then we see where
the local Mandalorian clan lives the Mandalorian symbol above the forge is
actually designed to look like the skull of the mythosaurr which Nick Nolte's
ignite bounty hunter mentions later in the episode the mythosaur was a great
flying creature the size of a city that lived on the Mandalorians previous
homeworld of Mandalore and was said to have been conquered by the first person
to bear the name Mandalore when he says to her that he does not have a signet
yet that's just an indication that he hasn't been recognized as part of the
local Mandalorian clan or one of the other clans it's a sign of membership
like you're not recognized as an official Mandalorian unless you have a
signet which is one of the reasons why Boba Fett was not a true Mandalorian
just someone who adopted Mandalorian armor and weapons all the flashbacks are
to the Clone Wars so you have to picture this happening somewhere around Star
Wars Episode two will probably get more flashback scenes like this in future
episodes number three meet the ugh not bounty hunter in the blurbs so the blogs
are actually Easter eggs for the made-for-tv Ewok Star Wars movies
caravan of courage and Ewoks battle for Endor super deep cuts the ugh not bounty
hunter is played by Nick Nolte his voice is very identifiable you'd recognize it
anywhere he mentions the great mythosaur like I said then we meet IG 11 played by
Taika Waititi from thor ragnarok he also probably recognized his voice he said
his character is meant to be kind of like the Terminator inside the Star Wars
universe you kind of get a sense of his personality during that introductory
shootout that he has number two shootout at the
O.K. Corral very awesome classic gunslingers shootout right out of a
spaghetti western they even have the Star Wars equivalent of a giant Gatling
gun in blaster form the self-destruct device that IG 11 keeps trying to use is
actually just a thermal detonator also seen during Return of the Jedi in
Jabba's palace when Leia whipped it out the number one the bounty this was
such an awesome twist reveal they said it was fifty years old
some species aged differently even if you're not a big star Wars fan you
probably recognize that as a baby of Yoda's species it's not Yoda
just to be clear because Yoda died during Return of the Jedi that was about
five years ago so Yoda is a force ghost right now
laughing at the Mandalorian above thanking him for helping this baby of
his species the reason why this is so huge on multiple levels is because
George Lucas made it so that virtually nothing was known about Yoda's race we
do know a couple things about them other than the fact that they're long-lived
they're very rare so members of his species do exist throughout the galaxy
but there are only a couple of them at any given time they have basic male and
female genders and they all live very long lives and they're all very very
force sensitive yeah ttle is the only other member of
his species she's a female that we saw during any Star Wars movies any books or
any comic books so it's possible that Yoda could have mated with her at some
point in his 900 years my other best theory is that is actually a clone of
Yoda because the doctor who was asking it be brought back alive has the same
symbol on his sleeve as they did at the cloning facility on Kamino during
episode two attack of the clones so let me know in the comments do you think
that this is a clone of Yoda or do you think that it's actually just another
baby of his species that's popped up but now you see why the magistrate wanted
this baby terminated so badly because it could grow up to be just as powerful a
Jedi Master is Yoda someday so a big threat to the return of imperial rule
which is clearly what they want and then we'll obviously see what happens through
the course of the series but a big part of it will probably be him protecting
this baby from the Imperials it was a great episode episode 2 is going to be
released on Friday so obviously my video for that will post a little bit more
timely than this one did just because so much is happening this week if you spot
any other really big Easter eggs in the episode that I didn't mention in the
video just write them below in the comments
