now this is the way yes tigerwood teeny has been trending number one or number
two for hours today all because of this episode directing this episode and also
voicing IG eleven who we'll talk about as well but what TD totally deserves the
recognition directing us stellar the mandalorian
season finale that has his fingerprints all over it I mean jon favreau gets
script writing credit but there's just too much stuff here that's just too much
tiger with TT for instance the opening scene which was an instant classic with
the bike scout troopers having their little tete-a-tete now this turned out
to be cameos from not only Jason Sudeikis who kind of almost trended at
least you know not top ten but top twenty but also Adam Paley Adam Palin so
funny but unfortunately not enough people know who he is
he and Ike Barinholtz wear a hilarious duo on the Mindy project which not a lot
of people watched either but they were hilarious here by the way every time
they each time when one of them punched baby Yoda I was like you're gonna die oh
you're gonna die too he's like you just can't do that and expect to live but
they had some great lines here it was just it was the kind of meta humor that
Tycho would TT really excels at and that's why I kind of feel like I should
credit it to him for instance when they say you know did he did - Gideon just
kill his own men and I think it was Jason sudakis who said yeah he did it to
make a point did you get that point cuz I get that point I thought that was
hilarious you know in terms of they should follow
Gideon's orders and not question anything and then I also loved it when
they were like hey could we get a you know a sitrep and the guy on the other
side of the walkie-talkie was like I just killed an officer for interrupting
him so this might take a while I love that stuff that stuff is hilarious and I
thought they pulled it off absolutely perfectly uh it was really just it was
just so Taika Waititi who not only brought the funny to this episode but I
think it's fair and you know I think we have to be fair and crediting him with
strong action sequences as well you know directors
they have to cut their teeth on a film and you know he you know it's weird you
know someone like Bryan Singer had quite the learn even in Christopher Nolan for
a more palatable choice they both had learning curves from their
first to second features but I do believe that thor ragnarok was tyka with
T DS first you know big movie like that and he had a lot of great stuff in that
film although I guess when you think about it you know it had funny moments
and beautiful visuals strong visual moments but not a huge number of action
sequences but this Jamaica's all feel very good about Thor love and thunder
because Taika Waititi seems ready to roll right that's exciting but I thought
you know when especially when IG 11 he had the best action sequences when he
stormed the town center on his on this bike scout troopers bite you know bike I
thought that was just absolutely fantastic in Norway he turned around
with baby Yoda on strapped to him I mean he will become a legendary droid because
of this episode I mean also his slogan to nurse and protect a very clever play
on serve and protect was just fabulous even mando came to love him that's how
great I G 11 was episode 8 also finally plunged this show plunged
this show I think that's the right term to use because boy they did they into
Star Wars mythology with the dark saber and more right which should finally
level this show up to Game of Thrones level discussion
I also wish watchman level discussion Watchmen was built for the same type of
discussion but unfortunately not many people I think were interested I think
the show perhaps was too political which is a shame because I think it was just
brilliant and I think if you gave it a chance you
would see that it was a very positive show over maybe you might have initially
thought it was a negative show but also I think not enough people are familiar
with The Watchmen comic even though it is considered the greatest comic book of
all time so people just don't know that mythology although this draws so much on
what Dave Filoni did with his animated shows it's also a little inaccessible
but you know they're gonna fix that with season 2 don't worry and I made a whole
season 2 video for what I'd like to see coming up which will either go up later
today or tomorrow depending my timing but I've already shot it I
just have to edit it but anyway this episode is I said certainly made up for
lost time with this season and so much happened it's hard to know where to
start but I guess I'll start with finally learning mandos name and seeing
his face that was a great loophole by the way that IG 11 was not a living
thing so mando would not be violating the oath that he had taken also when he
went ID 11 sacrificed himself that was a great way to call back the self-destruct
situation and for him and mando to have a very different discussion that was
great that was really strong I love that kind of stuff I think it's the one thing
that's really strongly you know it's an important thing that's been missing from
the series so far so now it has it has all the goodies but that was great but
anyway I liked it when you know when may you know we learned his name didn't
jardin its gonna I like calling a mando though to be honest with you but I also
appreciated that when he took his helmet off yet helmet hair unlike kylo Ren who
revealed a stunning blowout which I also appreciated but you know if you want to
take the character really seriously I think particularly because this is
supposed to be like a gritty space drama and not like romance novel though I
think the kylo Ren character is kind of both but here I think it needed to be
this way this was the way and it was great now I also appreciated the
parallels between him being saved by a Mandalorian those flashback scenes
reminded me a bit of the terminator universe with those droids hunting down
everybody on that planet where I did jardin is from right cuz he's not a
Mandal he's not Mandalorian he's just an honorary one he's been inducted into
their into their faith but I like that one the mandolin when the Mandalorian
who rescued him showed up they had like a heavy metal type music come in which
again is very taiko etdr the Mandalorians the bikers of the Star Wars
world I think that would be fantastic and that also but again as I said the
parallels between didn't being saved as a child and him now a Mandalorian
himself saving baby Yoda I mean not only were the parallels their story wise but
the way they did it visually with the exact same shot with the jet pack taking
off well that was just again top-notch and yes mando finally got a jet pack a
tremendous call backed earlier in the very season when he said I gotta get
one of those but I didn't think it used the jetpack during this season
especially since the armor said he needed to train with it but I should
have known you can't give mando a jetpack and not
let him use it that season right and since was what this was the season
finale this was the time to use it he of course still has to train with it
but he got off to a fantastic start I loved when he was facing the TIE fighter
with a Gideon driving and he shot up right in front of it so that he could he
could he could you know attach himself to it to take it down that was an
incredible it was much better jetpack usage than I think we've ever seen
forget in this season of the series I think in anywhere in Star Wars I mean
even Boba Fett you know I think unfortunately due to you know restraints
of VFX the time that character existed never look this cool I don't watch the
Dave Filoni animation so maybe there's some cool jetpack use there but I think
they're cheating because it's animation but this was fantastic when grief cargo
said your guild rates just went up I agreed I was like that guy's awesome
back to the armorer I did I didn't think it was you know it's funny to me that
it's almost like whenever you go to see the armor it's like when you in a video
game when you go back to home base and you find out what the next level is
that's kind of what her characters like I did like the way she described the
Jedi know is an order of sorcerers and I was like George Lucas you crazy bastard
that's genius that is what they are so I thought that was very cool they are
almost like you know especially because of the way they are impartial and with
the leadership in the galaxy they are almost like a bunch of Merlin's which is
so cool or if you think about the mages in the witch oh so this is a good time
for magicians which is why you know you want more force use it's ridiculous to
make them extinct in the current films because the Jedi are such a fantastic
group of characters you've got you want to have him I mean look what a baby one
look at them how much everyone's freaking out about a baby one of them so
I like that description and I did she was she said up you know the armor are
set up a pretty fantastic season too he's like you expect me to comb the
whole galaxy and she's like this is the way anything all right I'm like wow he
really took that oath boy and I like that she made them a clan of two with
the symbol of being the mythos or helmet which you know it was a little hard I
think to take away but you know you kind of
thank goodness for the internet to clear up what the show doesn't also baby Otis
probably like I'm pretty sure I handled that mythos or all by myself but
whatever we'll share the credit it's fine and I'm glad we got to see the
armor or fight I thought she handled herself very well I liked how heavy her
weapon seemed and boy that stormtrooper melted fast I had no idea that that
place where she was you know melting everything it didn't look that hot to me
because it was just like a couple of circle of like lone flames but wow that
guy won't let guy just turned to goo immediately but yeah I would love to see
the armor again I'm sure she escaped especially because they took care all
the bad guys at the end of the episode we will see her again
although with baby Yoda still not enough force use I thought for sure you choke
out those scout troopers and they kept hitting him in the head but I also when
grief cargo is like do the magic baby hand thing and Yoda baby Yoda just waved
back I thought that was fantastic but I have to tell you when he grabbed
mandos leg at the end of the episode being like it's just you and me buddy
I laughed out loud it was just so cute and adorable I'd be like I'm not
searching for his people he's mine I mean he's just so great then kara dude
Wow Gina Carano now I still don't thought she could carry her own show or
her own movie but she has turned out to be a tremendous supporting action star I
mean there were just so many cool moments here but I think overall she
really held her own she's like the coolest female you know fighter I think
you know it's kind of a story since aliens right I loved her line when she
was trying to tell mando not to quit and she's like he just got your bell rung
and I was like that's fantastic and I also liked hearing a little bit
more about her rebellion experiences they're like that's just a myth they're
not gonna do that to you and she's like I don't want to find out I thought that
was great Carl Weathers his grief carga you know you know I still really like
the character even though he's a backstabber
I did like the moment when he sneaked a drink at the bar right he was like I
might as well he's a disgraced magistrate it was
revealed which is not that interesting but you know it's cool to find you know
grieve my Roth Gritty Gideon was just trying to prove he knew who everybody
was by their backstory but now speaking of Moff Gideon I also appreciated the
competent bad guys for a change I thought that was great I think that the
new trilogy has really suffered from them being cartoonishly incompetent and
their main bad guy not really a bad guy but this Gideon boy I don't
want to keep calling him off because the Empire is gone so I don't know why he
would keep his uh his position you know that's like a general or something would
Star Wars and the you know the Empire so he's a real name is actually just Gideon
but I like the way he set up that a web gun which I thought by the way I would
have liked some kind of electronic element to it because it was called an e
web but we just tried to be like a really like a really big gun but I liked
that he was like Oh Kara dune has experience with this this mod models
predecessor meaning it's even better so either he handled that it was a great
line and Giancarlo Esposito delivered it really well and I thought it was really
clever when speaking of the e web when mando picked it up
Gideon shot the base of it to make it explode to take it out of play so I was
like ah finally a worthy adversary also to borrow from the Watchmen series
watch Watchmen it's so good but also speaking of competent bad guys like the
shadow stormtroopers showing up they were slightly more competent and then
that weird fire torch guy who really had really made the most of his moment with
his swagger as he walked up it's like yeah I would've torch his face
now speaking of fire I appreciated the lava River which was a nice callback to
Anakin and obi-wan confrontation and revenge of Revenge of the Sith that was
great but speaking of that lava river that r2d2 droid who ended up having arms
and legs that was very unsettling as I suspect it was supposed to be so good
job and the episode was almost 45 minutes as well again this is the way I
thought it was phenomenal so what do you think of the Mandalorian
season 1 finale I know some of you have been very happy to show up until now
what do you think of this huge course change as I said they haven't lost the
qualities of the original part of the earlier episodes so I think now we
should all be absolutely thrilled but again share your thoughts down below
