"Do they have one sewer grate manufacturer in the galaxy?!" - Yes, mike - if you read the expanded universe comics and novels, you will know that Frangoo Jumpjet founded 'Frangoo's galactic drain construction concern' in 18BBY after he went bankrupt from funding his uncle Dexter Jettster's diner. They were wildly popular, and used all over the galaxy due to their strength and durability, which was improved over time. If you pause it at time index 1:12:34 in Rise Of The Skywalker, you can even see one of them used in the big Sith chamber that Palpatine resides in. That is canonically the most modern model of sewer grate he constructed (made from the metal S5-B66), which is very exciting.
I hear they also have those sewer gates at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center. That’s where most of the funding went, instead of Vader’s suit.
@@michaelstein7510 I was really hoping they'd reference that in their Rise of Skywalker review, since Palpy was back. Didnt have the budget for fingers! *sad gameshow trombone sound*

@@hanburgundy4317 he took the piss out of the Star Trek movies, too, so what is your point? He loves both Star Wars and Star Trek, but not the new stuff.
Even in the Clone Wars TV show, the Mandalorians didn't wear helmets. But My favorite interpretation is that these Mandalorians are part of a cult, a warrior cult that never takes off their helmets.
I completely understand Mike's point. Once you start messing around with established sewer grate density, you really can't trust anything else in the story's world
My favorite part of the "lore" they made for the Mandalorian people was that it was straight out of Mike and Rich's discussions: It's armor. The entire character and concept is built off of "cool looking armor guy with gadgets." So that's what they ARE. Their culture is their armor, their identity is their armor, their matriarch is an armorsmith who makes them armor that makes them who they are within the tribe. It was a perfect direction for them to go. They had one card to play so they played it up as high and mighty as it could be played, and they smacked it onto the table with such force the whole thing buckled. All the prose and poetry and pedantry of the new shit, the ambiguous First Order, the non-existent New Republic, it all pales to "My weapon IS my religion". It feels like a perfect accident that wasn't supposed to be as good as it is, and THAT is STAR WARS.
they also missed the point that the mandalorian culture is more or like like the spartan culture. a Warrior race ( or people with the mandalorians) were fighting and war is everything for them. Also their helmets are heavily influenced by spartan helmets and not really knights like mike things
@@greyghostinfinite No! You thought that mandalorians were a race. Everyone else knew already. Everyone who plays star wars video games ( knights of the old republic, for example) or read some books already knew that Mandalorian is a culture and not an ethnicity.
@@greyghostinfinite Mandalorians originated from a single race that died off but they managed to spread their culture to others. I seem to remember they didn't care about anything outside of their creed to the point they didn't bat an eye at homosexual relationships. Though I don't exactly remember them having a problem with taking off their helmets, that's kinda silly.
I literally sang “ooooooooooooooh, you got a nasty reputation...” the first time we see the ship in space. My wife laughed so hard she cried. We had to pause to get the giggles out of our system. But every time after that when we would see his ship flying in space, we’d both say in Lord Helmet’s voice, “LONE STAR!”
I watched Rise a little over a week ago and have already forgotten it. Meanwhile episodes of Mando from several weeks ago are still fresh in my head. That alone says something
I remember there was lots of running and screaming and 4 laser sword fights, uhmm I'm pretty sure the plot was, find the thing to get the other thing to find the place... I don't know why anything was happening, but that's probably my fault for having not read all the comics.
Y'know, I figured with the carbonite thing that some enterprising Cloud City technician was like, "Huh, I could update this and sell it to the Bounty Hunters Guild". 10 years later, Mando's got the personal ship sized version.
The carbonite thing makes total sense. No one has ever used it in that manor. I mean who would be that crazy. Suddenly you have the means to preserve life in a cryo-sleep style but protected in a sheath of carbonite. Just the ability to freeze and stack livestock alone would make it a viable thing unless the carbonite was expensive. But since it was already being used on inanimate objects I don't imagine it would be costly. Moving 200 chickens stacked in squares makes it a lot easier than 200 that need food, water, grazing space, etc. which could contract disease or exposed to toxins. That could ruin an entire batch. But with carbonite that's no longer an issue.
My take was that when Jabba received Han in carbonite, it turned a lot of heads. Jabba with his reputation has the ability to set trends. Soon, criminals and gangsters across the galaxy demanded that prize bounties be delivered in carbonite, and some quick witted entrepreneurs created carbonite freezing systems that could be installed in ships, etc. If you were an up and coming bounty hunter, investing in a carbonite freezer for your ship would go a long ways in promoting yourself and raising your income.
Dave Filoni deserves some big praise for what he has accomplished in Star Wars storytelling over the past few years. He honed his skills directly under Lucas (with Clone Wars), and carried on some of his best qualities in his work. I hope Filoni continues to build and expand the universe. I trust him with the franchise more than anyone else right now.
Dave actually gives a shit. Is is a 501 member and cosplays ploo koon. Kat Kennedy reminds me of my successful sister that has a personal elevator in her house. Smart successful but ultimately disconnected from society but means well
If he did clone wars then this could be good. Big fan of the Lucas era Clone Wars series, and I don't watch much animated anythings but I was a fan of that series.
Easy. He also directed the worst episode and isn't super adept with live action as of yet. There is no one man who is a lone savior. But he makes a solid team with Favreau and I think Debra Chow is their best director.
"It builds character!!" Boba's father's ghost yelled at Boba. The smell of his father's last few partially digested meals was a smell that Boba never forgot.
You know what would've been great? When if the Mandolorian was debating to save Baby Yoda, he would look back at the compound, then back towards his ship, then back towards the compound, then shout, "NOOOOOO!" and throw the scientist guy down a shaft. That would've made me understand his motivation way better since I had no idea what was going on there.
Not that far off actually, if you replace "Keep winning the best village award at any cost" with *"Find the biggest, meanest badasses around (besides us) and FIGHT THE EVER-LOVING $!#@ OUTTA THEM!!!* Similar mentality for doing it though.
He straight out guessed correctly that they’d bring Boba Fett back for season 2. And Disney were so impressed they decided to add a whole Boba show on top of it.
The most genius thing about the helmets is that you can get a bunch of stunt guys instead of paying more for the main actors that are only doing the voices.
@Mike Marlowe are you an ADD 6 year old? Mandalorian is rich with MOOD....AMBIENCE.....etc. NO NEED for Dialog when you can tell a story with images. Then again, you thought both Wonder Woman films were masterpieces.
i think he was probably on that wall for a good long while as well, Jabba probably had a lot of bounty hunters passing through, boba fett probably bragged to those slave girls, ect ect.
And still they didn’t know what Jedi were. An famous order that has been around forever before being dismantled in around the Clone Wars and after, just some 30-40 years prior. Kinda like if no one would remember 40 yrs back in the past, and this no one would even remember the OT anymore... 😂
In season 2 the blue guy says he still cant see from one of his eyes after the carbon freeze. So they did take into consideration the hazards of the carbon freeze.
The other being its really easy to see just the character and not the actor. Example being on the planet with the small village a lot of people saw "pillboi" lol. Another being we don't feel the heavy narcissistic vibes of "the audience has to see my face all the time" shit when a character would have no reason take a mask or helmet off the vast majority of the time
@@SirJamesthePaul Loooooove this line. I don't know why Lucas felt the need to change it. At least Empire was the most untouched of the originals. Minus that.
About the carbonite freezing process: Lando says in Empire that they never tested it on a human before, so they couldn't be sure if Luke was going to survive or not, so they tested it on Han, first. Since he survived, it became clear, from that point in time, in Star Wars lore, that it was possible to trap people in carbonite and keep them alive. It isn't a stretch to assume that word spread among bounty hunters, so I think it does make sense that Mando froze the blue guy using the method.
They changed it up. Expanding the lore Carbonite Freezing became standard practice among the syndicates and cartels. They since retconned the Bespin encounter that they were using an industrial Carbonite freezer and had to jury rig it. So the idea that it might kill Han makes sense in that context.
I guess the cartels and bounty hunters have a very good newsletter and media company to spread news and best tips. They also managed to improve the technology so much to make it fit in an old spaceship and require only one operator. In comparison it took just a couple generations for everyone in the galaxy to forget the existence of the jedi and the force.
@@flo4517 I mean there were only 10,000 jedi before the clone wars and they kept pretty secretive beyond "we have senatorial authority to take you in.". In a galaxy beyond trillions in population it would be like if the U.N used like 3 people "with superpowers you probably won't see" for international law enforcement in a world where everyone didn't have recording devices. If the U.N came out and was like "Lol that was all propoganda." People would start believing it because they don't have easily accessable evidence to the contrary. A good chunk of people think Empire was "controversial" because Rian Johnson is a manbaby who threw it under the bus despite all evidence pointing that it was universally loved. Contrast this with "hey how did you get Han Solo? The very believable and famous rogue who is hard to catch?." "Froze him in carbonite." "Shiiiit that works? I could buy up a company and make bank." Industry evolves at a rapid pace when there is a demand for a product. There is no comparrison between these two bits of worldbuilding. Hell Jabba clearly had his hands in a lot of buisnesses. He probably ordered the normalization of such a method as soon as Boba explained to him what happened.
I'm surprised Rich didn't see the parallel for when the Mandalorian flew with baby Yoda over his shoulder to when the Mandalorian himself was rescued as a kid by another Mandalorian who flew off carrying him much the same way. It was a pretty obvious tie-in that the creators of the show were trying to do.
I love that this show is just finally exploring the "Space Western" side of Star Wars. I mean it was always there. Right from day one. But over time... people seemed to forget about the part with blaster and rogues and bounty hunters and all that in favor of focusing solely on the 3 Foot Laser Compensator. Which... made sense in its evolution. But I do feel like this is the untapped potential of Star Wars to mine. And if all Star Wars really turns into is just a long running Mandalorian series at this point? I'd be happy with it. It's good, simple, episode of the day Space Western stuff.
In regard to the “No droids guy” I always assumed it was a privacy concern for the patrons. Like, droids are sentient, sure, but they are also tools that could potentially record any conversation going on and if you are a shady deathsticks dealer or other, you wouldn’t wanna visit a place that had droids around.
Kevin It would be more fun if he hated them because they were threatening his job with automation. “Only humans know how to make drinks right” he would say to himself, until he was let go due to “restructuring of the organization” and replaced with the droid that is tending the bar in The Mandalorian.
Mandolorian feels a lot like the Old Samurai Jack, overarching narative that runs in the background, while the soft-spoken main character has some small self contained episodes that bleed into the larger plot.
@@nearlydead7510 it would make sense that carbon freezing itself is common but only prisons or bounty hunters typically use facilities designed specifically for humans, while most others are designed for hazardous materials containment or something.
In defense of the whole carbon freezing thing, the show takes place after Empire. After they saw that freezing a bounty worked well, more bounty hunters would want to use it as a method.
actually, my head canon was always that there were definitely machines that were built for human carbonite freezing, but the one on bespin was not made for that and was also outdated (which vader also states in the movie). It could also be that lando just didn't know what he was talking about when he said that the machine could kill han.
How convenient that in thousands and thousands of years of history literally the very first time someone discovered this was during the very narrow period of time in which these stories take place
40:37 “Are they gonna try to extract Force from him?” First Boba Fett now the extraction of Force (kinda) from the most recent episode. RLM calls it again.
I'm sad that they didn't talk about when he's in the Cantina that there's literally a giant cockroach sitting at the bar. Goddamn I laughed really hard at that.
@Jay the cockroach at the bar was also in the original Star Wars, long before Men in Black came out. Also Kafka is one of the greatest fiction writers of all time. If your a fan of movies and good writing you should research him!
@Jay Kafka was a German speaking writer from 1883, and that boi was so good at writing dark toned, obscure and twisted shit, that today we have a word for it named after him: "kafkaesque".
@@blurryperson2685 Well i'd still like to see war. Just not necessarily giant, galactic wars. For example, wouldn't a republic-era slave rebellion be cool? Maybe base that on Tattoine. And one idea I think is cool is a remote, isolated planet is contacted by the galactic empire for the first time, and there's a revolt against it.
When Rich expressed amazement at feeling a human emotion about something made in 2019 I laughed, then did a little introspection to marvel at just how close to home that hit, and then laughed again. Holy shit...
After shooting the scenes with "Baby Yoda" using a puppet, the crew decided to go for another take without the puppet, to replace it with CGI during post-production in case it didn't look convincing. When Werner Herzog, who plays "the Client" in the series, found out about this, he commented: "You are cowards! Leave it!". The scenes with the puppet were eventually used; according to Herzog, it looked "heartbreakingly beautiful". We all owe a big thanks to Werner!

Og timeline the mandalorians were nearly wiped out and scattered before the phantom menace; I got the impression the dedication to the Creed 40 years later was just a slow development from one of the offshoot groups
@@JonnyLightning I agree, also the Mandalorians who saved Mando were clearly Death Watch. Don't believe me? Look at Episode 8 of season 1, Minute 13:14 to 14:00. On the left shoulder pauldron the Death Watch Symbol is clearly shown. So his creed and his rules are an offshoot of Death Watch. Jango and Boba are however influnced by Jaster Mereels Supercommandos. So Death Watch rules don't apply to any of those. And the Mandalorian Government in Clone Wars was passivist, and didn't like either goup, so they saying that Jango isn't Mandalorian is just a defence, not a retcon. After all the Clones were trained by Mandalorians brought in by Jango.
Re: the carbonite, I looked at that as an example of other bounty hunters learning from what Vader did in Empire and the thing becoming a more standard procedure after the events of the OT - sort of a "bounty hunters talking in bars spread the rumors of this nifty technique" thing. If the show had been set before the OT I would've been more bothered, but with it being set after the OT I wasn't too concerned.
Im not necessarily defending it, but carbonite freezing prisoners has been part of expanded universe for ages. Even in the old republic setting. So this isnt really a "member berries" choice for the sake of nostalgia.

"Do they have one sewer grate manufacturer in the galaxy?!" - Yes, mike - if you read the expanded universe comics and novels, you will know that Frangoo Jumpjet founded 'Frangoo's galactic drain construction concern' in 18BBY after he went bankrupt from funding his uncle Dexter Jettster's diner. They were wildly popular, and used all over the galaxy due to their strength and durability, which was improved over time. If you pause it at time index 1:12:34 in Rise Of The Skywalker, you can even see one of them used in the big Sith chamber that Palpatine resides in. That is canonically the most modern model of sewer grate he constructed (made from the metal S5-B66), which is very exciting.
Andrew Hickinbottom he then polished the grate with a wudu hide.
Haha, yes - to distract from all the shit in the sewers :-D
I hear they also have those sewer gates at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center. That’s where most of the funding went, instead of Vader’s suit.

@@greenshadow131 just like the original sith
I completely understand Mike's point. Once you start messing around with established sewer grate density, you really can't trust anything else in the story's world
My favorite part of the "lore" they made for the Mandalorian people was that it was straight out of Mike and Rich's discussions: It's armor. The entire character and concept is built off of "cool looking armor guy with gadgets." So that's what they ARE. Their culture is their armor, their identity is their armor, their matriarch is an armorsmith who makes them armor that makes them who they are within the tribe. It was a perfect direction for them to go. They had one card to play so they played it up as high and mighty as it could be played, and they smacked it onto the table with such force the whole thing buckled. All the prose and poetry and pedantry of the new shit, the ambiguous First Order, the non-existent New Republic, it all pales to "My weapon IS my religion". It feels like a perfect accident that wasn't supposed to be as good as it is, and THAT is STAR WARS.
Very well put.
they also missed the point that the mandalorian culture is more or like like the spartan culture. a Warrior race ( or people with the mandalorians) were fighting and war is everything for them. Also their helmets are heavily influenced by spartan helmets and not really knights like mike things
@@greyghostinfinite No! You thought that mandalorians were a race. Everyone else knew already. Everyone who plays star wars video games ( knights of the old republic, for example) or read some books already knew that Mandalorian is a culture and not an ethnicity.
@@greyghostinfinite Mandalorians originated from a single race that died off but they managed to spread their culture to others. I seem to remember they didn't care about anything outside of their creed to the point they didn't bat an eye at homosexual relationships.

He’s doing dry January
Y'know, I figured with the carbonite thing that some enterprising Cloud City technician was like, "Huh, I could update this and sell it to the Bounty Hunters Guild". 10 years later, Mando's got the personal ship sized version.
The carbonite thing makes total sense. No one has ever used it in that manor. I mean who would be that crazy. Suddenly you have the means to preserve life in a cryo-sleep style but protected in a sheath of carbonite. Just the ability to freeze and stack livestock alone would make it a viable thing unless the carbonite was expensive. But since it was already being used on inanimate objects I don't imagine it would be costly. Moving 200 chickens stacked in squares makes it a lot easier than 200 that need food, water, grazing space, etc. which could contract disease or exposed to toxins. That could ruin an entire batch. But with carbonite that's no longer an issue.
My take was that when Jabba received Han in carbonite, it turned a lot of heads. Jabba with his reputation has the ability to set trends. Soon, criminals and gangsters across the galaxy demanded that prize bounties be delivered in carbonite, and some quick witted entrepreneurs created carbonite freezing systems that could be installed in ships, etc. If you were an up and coming bounty hunter, investing in a carbonite freezer for your ship would go a long ways in promoting yourself and raising your income.
It's also stated in Empire that the facility was crude, and that would be the reason they weren't sure if Han would survive.
@@yugen I don't think they would demand it, but it would be incredible convenient to transport your bounty alive.
I agree, it's been 10 to 15 years since we first saw it. Of course they perfected the survival rates and shrunk it.

Dave Filoni deserves some big praise for what he has accomplished in Star Wars storytelling over the past few years. He honed his skills directly under Lucas (with Clone Wars), and carried on some of his best qualities in his work. I hope Filoni continues to build and expand the universe.

@@scudzilla7893 Empire on the blue VHS set: the best version.
About the carbonite freezing process: Lando says in Empire that they never tested it on a human before, so they couldn't be sure if Luke was going to survive or not, so they tested it on Han, first. Since he survived, it became clear, from that point in time, in Star Wars lore, that it was possible to trap people in carbonite and keep them alive. It isn't a stretch to assume that word spread among bounty hunters, so I think it does make sense that Mando froze the blue guy using the method.
They changed it up. Expanding the lore Carbonite Freezing became standard practice among the syndicates and cartels. They since retconned the Bespin encounter that they were using an industrial Carbonite freezer and had to jury rig it. So the idea that it might kill Han makes sense in that context.
I guess the cartels and bounty hunters have a very good newsletter and media company to spread news and best tips. They also managed to improve the technology so much to make it fit in an old spaceship and require only one operator. In comparison it took just a couple generations for everyone in the galaxy to forget the existence of the jedi and the force.
@@flo4517 I mean there were only 10,000 jedi before the clone wars and they kept pretty secretive beyond "we have senatorial authority to take you in.". In a galaxy beyond trillions in population it would be like if the U.N used like 3 people "with superpowers you probably won't see" for international law enforcement in a world where everyone didn't have recording devices. If the U.N came out and was like "Lol that was all propoganda." People would start believing it because they don't have easily accessable evidence to the contrary. A good chunk of people think Empire was "controversial" because Rian Johnson is a manbaby who threw it under the bus despite all evidence pointing that it was universally loved.
Contrast this with "hey how did you get Han Solo? The very believable and famous rogue who is hard to catch?." "Froze him in carbonite." "Shiiiit that works? I could buy up a company and make bank." Industry evolves at a rapid pace when there is a demand for a product. There is no comparrison between these two bits of worldbuilding. Hell Jabba clearly had his hands in a lot of buisnesses. He probably ordered the normalization of such a method as soon as Boba explained to him what happened.

The scenes with the puppet were eventually used; according to Herzog, it looked "heartbreakingly beautiful". We all owe a big thanks to Werner!

Werner always knows.
"You can just shake the helmet and the head will fall out."
The head actually came out in that shot - look at the shadows. Head clearly came out of the helmet.
I mean...gravity...and only a chin strap to overcome...

@@SamanthaIreneYTube This is the way.
I love that he called the ending "Rocketeer-esque." Boba Fett was created by the director of The Rocketeer.
I think Jango WAS a mandalorian, but broke the creed, got kicked out, and just kept the gear because it was high quality.
I don't think he got kicked out, but he definitely was a traitor.
@@kaiviru something like that- I coulda sworn he was explicitly kicked out for one reason or another.
...I mean...we could always check Wookiepedia to be certain, but- eh
@@neighandwhinnymchorse2100 I don't know where they got this idea that the fetts aren't real and/or traitors, but I totally passed on the clone wars and rebels
Og timeline the mandalorians were nearly wiped out and scattered before the phantom menace; I got the impression the dedication to the Creed 40 years later was just a slow development from one of the offshoot groups
@@JonnyLightning
I agree, also the Mandalorians who saved Mando were clearly Death Watch. Don't believe me? Look at Episode 8 of season 1, Minute 13:14 to 14:00. On the left shoulder pauldron the Death Watch Symbol is clearly shown.
So his creed and his rules are an offshoot of Death Watch.
Jango and Boba are however influnced by Jaster Mereels Supercommandos. So Death Watch rules don't apply to any of those.
And the Mandalorian Government in Clone Wars was passivist, and didn't like either goup, so they saying that Jango isn't Mandalorian is just a defence, not a retcon.
After all the Clones were trained by Mandalorians brought in by Jango.
Rich Evans' heart grew three sizes that day... see a doctor, Rich.
This is verbatim the plotline of a low number half in the bag.
Re: the carbonite, I looked at that as an example of other bounty hunters learning from what Vader did in Empire and the thing becoming a more standard procedure after the events of the OT - sort of a "bounty hunters talking in bars spread the rumors of this nifty technique" thing. If the show had been set before the OT I would've been more bothered, but with it being set after the OT I wasn't too concerned.
Very true. Jabba had Solo hanging on the wall for awhile. It would have for sure a "conversation piece"
They took up that but has no idea what Jedi was? lol
Plus who wants 5 bounties creeping around you're ship while you're trying to pilot
Im not necessarily defending it, but carbonite freezing prisoners has been part of expanded universe for ages. Even in the old republic setting. So this isnt really a "member berries" choice for the sake of nostalgia.
Welp in the clone wars series they used it to hide themselves for a secret mission as not to be detected
I cant believe Mike predicted mandolorian season 2
Just like the Mandalorians, Rich Evans never takes off his skin helmet.
Clearly you've never seen the george foreskin grill video. Rich takes his skin helmet off in that
And if you shake it his skull just falls out
@@oldskoolchomp81 I do not understand how that video is still available to watch, I thought TH-cam was a little prick getting offended at anything but a whole dick doesn't phase them, damn
Mike develops time travel in 10 years, then goes back in time to play the cantina bartender.
Omg I'm ded xD
Romulan Ale will do that to you. I’ve seen some pretty bad things.
Rich Evans "I felt a human emotion!"
@@devo076 Agreed
@brushfyr I got second-hand embarrassment reading this shitty post
I'm from the future. They messed it up
I haven't seen the third season, how did they mess it up? The second season was fine.
I think Mike is the only person in the world that noticed the sewer grate has a similar design to the one that was on the Death Star
The grate is the key to all of this
I don't think so, cause when Cara tells Carl Weathers to get out of the way before she starts blasting it, it's very reminiscent of the attitude Leia gives Han when she blasts open the garbage chute. I thought it was an intentional nod, but unlike Mike I liked it
Its just an art style thing, like the wierd wall lights or the targeting computers. I don't think it is canonically the same design.
But for some reason he thought that this took place before the trilogy, a think he’s fucking with us though.
I noticed it straight away. My wife looked at me blankly when I incredulously mentioned that Leia shot a hole through one of those with a blaster but a rebel shock trooper couldn't?
