BRING IT.
The new season of The Mandalorian starts streaming Friday, October 30, only on Disney+.
The Mandalorian and the Child continue their journey, facing enemies and rallying allies as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in the tumultuous era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire. “The Mandalorian” stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers and Giancarlo Esposito. Directors for the new season include Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa, Carl Weathers, Peyton Reed and Robert Rodriguez. Showrunner Jon Favreau serves as executive producer along with Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson, with Karen Gilchrist serving as co-executive producer.
Yawn
I’m with you on the movies, though.
Part of the appeal for me is the callback to serialized TV of a bygone era. I think Favreau referenced The Incredible Hulk specifically.
I kinda liked the first go-round. No one has yet explained to me why the excellent Pedro Pascal (The Viper) needs to be the star of this production… when 99% of the time it’s just a guy in a robot suit.
Because “The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal” sounds a lot better than “The Mandalorian, starring a rotating cast of stuntmen you’ve never heard of.”
What’s really funny is that it’s only him in the suit about a third of the time anyway. John Wayne’s grandson Brendan does most of the physical stuff.
So weird. I would understand if the director said ¨I just need him there in the suit, his physical presence DOES something for me.¨
But if he gets star billing while barely being there, that´s Apocalypse Now treatment.
