Cassie! You didn’t notice the man that gave Mando the job at the beginning in the bar, was none other than Carl Weathers! The great actor who played Apollo Creed himself! 🥊 He’s now also directing episodes for The Mandalorian. ✌️
05:45 Cassie, The Client is played by Werner Herzog, an acclaimed German director, writer, and actor. He was also in the first Jack Reacher film with Tom Cruise. He was very interested in the cutting edge filming techniques Jon Favreau and company was using to shoot The Mandolorian, so he agreed to join the cast.
Also, like any human being with a heartbeat, he instantly fell in love with the Baby Yoda puppet - which is a delightful thought when you think about how serious and scary Herzog comes across, and this is coming from another German. The man is intense, and it lead possibly to my favorite behind the scenes fact in the entire SW franchise. When Favreau and Feloni wanted to take the puppet from set to do another take without it, in case they wanted to use a CGI version, Herzog just told them "You are cowards. Leave it." And that was it.
@@DerMoerpler He was talking to Baby Yoda as if it was not a puppet. And to be true, it's not just a puppet. The original, the character behind it, the hearts and minds of millions infront of it. Almost, the new face of STAR WARS. Very cute. And in Japanese culture, he would have a soul.
@@KthulhuXxx I think that's a big part of his intimidating aura. After five movies with Kinski, almost nothing fazes him anymore. He is unshakeable to the point that he treats getting shot with a BB gun while being interviewed on camera like other would an insect bite.
@@KthulhuXxx Herzog and Kinski had one of, if not THE worst director/actor relationship in the history of cinema, to the point where Herzog threatened to kill Kinski, and yet together they produced some of the greatest movies ever made. Truly a story that belongs in the books
"This felt like Star Wars". Yep. This show got me back into the Star Wars universe after some disappointing movies. I even went and watched some of the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons that I had no intention of ever watching. This show is the best thing Star Wars has put out since Return of The Jedi.
Yeah, a friend of mine were talking about this a few weeks ago. I had given up on Star Wars until the first episode of The Mandalorian, even though I really liked Rogue One. I was drawn in right from the start of Ep 1 of The Mandalorian.
Now you see why you were seeing so many "Baby Yoda" dolls around. Everybody fell in love with it and why people tuned in...come for the Mandalorian - stay for Baby Yoda
Seems that Disney is just creating content - lets try this and see if the people like it...would Mandalorian be as good WITHOUT "baby yoda" to draw folks in?
@@jeffwerth2707 Not sure, Grogu and Mando are a team, like Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Mac and Cheese...They are a great combo together, let's just hope they don't go woke, and they keep Favreau and Filoni at the helm. Mando and Grogu had to come and save Bobba's dismal series too. I just wish they'd rewrite and go back to cannon with the books and make 7,8,9 a dream sequence, LOL :)
19:24 Cassie, think of it this way: If you were the star of this show, they would've called it "The Earthling" instead... "Mando" is short for Mandalorian... By the way, the guy who calls him Mando is Carl Weathers, the actor who played Appolo Creed in the "Rocky" movies! And Kuill -- Mando's "little friend in the desert" -- is voiced by Nick Nolte! And the IG-11 bounty hunter droid is voiced by Taika Waititi!
The best part of this show (for all of us that watched it when it first came out) was we had NO IDEA baby Yoda was going to be in it. So, the end of the first episode had everyone going crazy. Disney kept it such a secret that there was no baby Yoda merchandise for a good long while (because producing the merchandise would have likely leaked the show's big secret). The Mandalorian is easily my favorite Star Wars thing since Return of the Jedi... though I did like Rogue One and Solo quite a bit.
So happy you're watching this Cassie! The voice actor is Pedro Pascal btw. There are actually a TON of Easter eggs and larger Star Wars cannon nods in this show. For those of us who have been deep in the universe for many years, this show was fantastic for reasons beyond it just being an amazing show. I could go on and on!
My husband and I LOVED watching this series. I think he enjoyed it the most because he'd be watching me every time "Baby Yoda" was on screen I'd have a silent full body cuteness freak out. 🤣❤💕 This was such a great series, loved it from the first episode.
It’s another of Yoda’s species Mandalorian is a people, a culture, one of warriors. They have been long known The _First Order_ is gone after IX Beskar is mandalorian steel Foundlings are child mandalorians If the Child is 50 years old, then he would’ve been born around the same time as Anakin Yoda died at 900. He said he trained jedi for 800. So the Child’s due for a growth spurt in his next 50 years. Unless Yoda was an early bloomer “Another gremlin thingy” …a frog?
I think it is incorrect to assume he is a baby. He doesn't act like a baby at all. Yeah, he is tiny, but so is Yoda. I believe he is more equivalent to an 8-10 year old child. Meaning at the age of 100 he could be equivalent to a 20+ year old human.
If you haven't heard already, John Favreau based the Mandolorian on movies he watched as a kid. He was mostly inspired by The Man with No Name series (Clint Eastwood). As usual, I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to more.
I’m glad you’re starting on this journey to watch The Mandolorian, it’s one of my favorite shows of all time and my most favorite show in the Star Wars universe
When you said “that feels like Star Wars,” I could totally relate! YES. That is why The Mandalorian is so amazing! I absolutely love this show and cannot wait for the next season (it’s overdue). I am so glad to have you join in and can’t wait to watch more of your reviews. Baby Yoda is so much the yin to Mando’s yang. It’s the best.
2:45 That’s Pedro Pascal for you! Fun fact, the mud horn (the creature in episode 2) is based on an extinct species of rhino called Elasmotherium. They really got that big and were probably about as friendly.
Whats great with the Mandalorian is that it feels like an Old School Star Wars. Like it was a Mix between a Western and a Samurai movie, wich where Star Wars inspirations actually. Its Gritty and Dirty, with Bad Ass moments.
People always say "western" and "samurai" as influences, and that's true. But I think there is a more suitable comparison. Mando is a knight errant. Star Wars isn't a science fiction. It's science fantasy. In addition to space ships and lasers, you have princesses and magic. Luke Skywalker is a classic character type, being the inexperienced everyman that goes on a journey and defeats the big evil. Mando is a different character type, but because his character type is equally classic, it feels right at home in the universe. Mando travels, lives by a code, and is a perpetual underdog. This is the same character type that many western and samurai stories use. The difference being that Mando also wears heavy armor, and often fights monsters and machines that are many times larger than he is. Hell, there's a dragon in season 2. Ironic as it is, Jedi Knights fill more of a wizard role in the universe. Mando is the real knight of the setting. He fits right into the tone of the world without feeling like a rehash of things that have come before.
@@DrLipkin you’re right that Star Wars is a space fantasy: and in that regard, The Mandalorian (or the Memberberrian, as I call it) fails. George Lucas’ Star Wars were proper myths that passed down timeless moral values. Disney’s Star Wars are postmodernist drivel that reinforce the cultural zeitgeist of the next generation knowing it all (Rey’s entire character line: it’s not an arc, just a straight line), women power (Rey, Holdo, Jyn Erso, Fennic Shand, Ahsoka, Bo-Katan’s Mandalorian gal pal) and especially moral relativism. The Memberberrian does that last one particularly, as does Rogue One: which is why I roll my eyes whenever someone says that this is “real Star Wars.” It’s not: it’s just reinforcing the same bs relativistic propaganda y’all have been spoonfed and brainwashed into believing is “deep” and “nuanced” since childhood. If OG Star Wars was like The Memberberrian, Luke would have become Darth Vader, the Empire would unironically be portrayed as the good guys (even after blowing up Alderaan and almost blowing up Endor, with their own people on it, no less!), and Leia would have been the Chosen One.
Cassie, you said something many fans have said in the past. "This felt like Star Wars". Other Disney productions really doesn't feel like Star Wars, they are other space generic stuff with the star wars label on it sadly. Looking at your reaction to the first 2 episodes you are going to love these 2 seasons. Enjoy! This is the way
@@chand911 I get it's not an opinion some people like to hear, but it's not exactly an uncommon opinion. For myself, I said the same thing "This felt like Star Wars." Which is not something I could say about anything but the original trilogy and the Rebels cartoon. And, to an extent, The Force Awakens, inasmuch as it was a well-executed rehash of the original trilogy.
The Disney productions didn't just have a Star Wars label. The blasters sounded like blasters. The light sabers sounded like light sabers. Tatooine looked like tatooine. The score was on point. They were generic Hollywood action movies wearing a Star Wars skin suit, Ed Gein style.
I love how you are on your way to becoming a true Star Wars nerd. From having never watched any of the movies, now starting to the shows, I can’t wait to see down the road. You’re going to be so knowledgeable. 😊
This is between return of the jedi and the force awakens - a foundling is a mandalorian who was not born into the mandalorians but was adopted into it.
The Imperial Officer who hired the Mandalorian (the one with the "villain voice") was played by Werner Herzog. He's an independent film-maker with a long filmography.
He was the one who told Filoni and Faveraeu to use the puppet for baby yoda instead of CGI. I think his words were, "don't be a coward! use the puppet."
14:59 funny you mention babybjörn, at my job here in sweden we produce screws for the babybjörn carrier:) i made the tools for the machine that makes them hehe
I can't thank you enough for doing this, my boys and I wanted to see this but I don't have streaming here and now we can watch it with you, little Yoda is just the cutest! And I love the Mandalorian's voice and demeanor also. :)
Cassie, I'm sure someone already mentioned it, we originally met the Mandalorians in the Clone Wars animated series. I had never watched them when I started watching this show. I didn't watch them until early in Season 2 of the Mandalorian because there is stuff in Clone Wars and Rebels (the successor animated series) which would be important to know for Season 2. So, I binged watched them, and was so glad that I did. You don't have to watch them on your channel, but you'd benefit by seeing them before you get to Season 2. I'm an OG Star Wars guy. Saw it in the theater back in 77, and I've seen all the movies since. I was never interested in any of the other stuff. Cartoons, comics. Not really my thing. I tried watching the first couple episodes of Clone Wars, but I just couldn't get into it. It takes almost the full first season to become invested. But, I'm very glad that I did. One of my very favorite Star Wars characters grows up in the show, and as a viewer and a fan, I'd say I was well rewarded for the investment of time. Especially when you get to the middle of Season 2. Thank you for your reactions. They're always delightful.
I first encountered Mandalorians in the Knights of the Old Republic comics... ... in the early '90s, I think? And then again in the KotOR video game in 2003. I was immediately obsessed and the Clone Wars version (pacifists) made me hate the show for aaaages. (I had to get over my saltiness to rewatch the entire CW series and fall properly in love with it. XD)
1:10 Star Wars starts with episode 4 because when it was first made in 1977, it was originally episode 1. The original films were then made to be episodes 4, 5, and 6 (and the opening crawl on subsequent releases of those episodes was modified to reflect this) once the prequels were made (the prequels then became episodes 1, 2, and 3). Also, The Mandalorian takes place shortly after Return of the Jedi.
Thats not true. The opening crawl was changed to say Episode 4 back in 1981. Lucas had always planned the prequels, he just didnt include a hint of them in the movies until he knew the series was a success.
@@BasketCase-rr7tx Okay, I got the timing wrong. Still, A New Hope was originally episode 1 and was changed to episode 4 once Lucas knew he would make the prequel trilogy.
I’ve only been watching this channel for a month or so and I can’t get enough!!!! You give me the ability to watch my favorite films and tv shows with a new perspective!!! Thank you for all that you do you make my day every time!!!!! :)
Welcome to the channel, Adam, we're having a Livestream tomorrow (Saturday Aug 20) at 2PM Mountain time, drop by if you have a chance, and have fun chatting with Cassie!
Well Yoda was like 900 years old when he died when Luke found him so their species really ages differently than humans. It's 50 and it is still a small child.
Hey, Cassie, you mentioned in the beginning, the confusion of the movies starting with Episode IV. I'll do my best here: When the first movie was in theaters in 1977, it was only titled "Star Wars" (without the 'Episode IV' and without 'A New Hope' in the subtitle). Lucas had written rough scripts for The Skywalker Saga (i.e., episodes 1-6) already but left 'Episode IV' off the title to avoid confusing the audience. He chose to begin with IV because he felt the story was more engaging and action-packed for the audience to start with, and because of the limits of special effects of the time. There were things in the prequels that couldn't have been done in 1977. With the huge success of the film, he was set to do the whole saga, and titled the next one "Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". A year later, "Star Wars" was re-released in theaters as "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope". By the way, The Mandalorian takes place, not after Episode IX, but 5 years after the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Just got home from work to watch this reaction. Had to change into something appropriate! Like a P I B Oh My Gosh t shirt!! You have now experienced the heart melting cuteness of Baby Yoda!! You are now one of the countless others who have fallen in love with this little package of preciousness!! Looking forward to more episodes to come!! Take care, Cassie THIS IS THE WAY
I wish I could go back in time and experience the reveal of the child unspoiled. I didn’t have access to Disney+ right away, nor did I have access to it until a few months after it had debuted. As a result, I saw all the pictures of the child that friends, relatives, and others on the internet shared long before I actually saw this show. I imagine that it would have been a most memorable experience watching the first episode of this, not knowing about the child.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been in a position where it's hard to meet new people for over a year now due to my job and living location and watching you watch my favorite stuff feels like having a friend to watch with!

I am so happy you are watching this series. It is my favorite. Also keep in mind as you watch these shows, they bring in many fan favorite characters from the animated shows (Clone Wars, Rebels, etc.). So there will be and is many characters that you may not recognize at first, but who are very important and beloved. So keep that in the back of your head. Anyway, I'm so hyped for this journey!
My wife and I put off watching this until after S2 had started. For some reason we just weren't that interested in it. I'm so glad we finally took the plunge. It really is an excellent show!
Werner Herzog is the "evil voice" guy, as you put it. Famous director and sometimes actor. He is German so that is his true accent. He essentially played the same role (evil guy) in the first Jack Reacher movie, which you should watch since it is very good. Herzog is a very convincing bad guy.
'That FELT like Star Wars'. This is the first time I have seen this and I feel the same. Baby Yoda using 'the source'...(!?) Cool as ice, helmeted bounty hunters. It seems good.
I highly recommend also checking out the animated series, especially Clone Wars and Rebels. Ideally before Mandalorian S2 and Book of Boba Fett, as Clone Wars and Rebels introduce a lot of characters and lore connected to those shows. They’re not necessary viewing, but they do make the viewing experience even better This is a bit of a daunting and time consuming task, especially if you wanna get to S2 asap, as Clone Wars is 7 seasons and Rebels is 4. Clone Wars is an anthology show, so it definitely isn’t necessary to watch every single episode. I actually made a list of episodes and arcs I consider necessary/essential viewing that I’d be happy to share Rebels is a lot more of an interconnected story, following the same group for the whole show, so it’s preferable to watch all of it.
I agree that it would be way too much to react to but, I think it would be well worth it for her to do a little binging on her own the next few weeks. It would provide some bits and pieces of information that will be referenced throughout the series. Plus, it's really high quality. I do have to admit that the narrator's voice gets annoying to me after awhile.
TIMELINE: Mandalorian takes place in 9 ABY which is 9 years after Episode 4, and 4 years after the collapse of the empire. The empire is not gone but fractured into many remnants, which have retreated to the outer rim and lost control of most of the core worlds. The new republic is still very new and struggling to take control of the power vacuum. episode 7 takes place much later in 34 ABY which is 25 years later
Bluugs are a native species on Ryloth. The planet where Twi'leks are from. There is a holdout blaster named after them. Mandalorian are a culture. But depending on what side of history you are from the definition changes. They are incredibly diverse in their beliefs. Many are loners going from planet to planet as mercenaries or Bounty Hunters. Their ways have existed several thousand years before the Old Republic was formed. Any member of any species can be a Mandalorian.
AWESOME!!!!!! you are going to love this series. A mandalorian is hard to define. Mandalore is the name of their planet, and also what they call their leader. the mandalorians are a warrior culture that has a strict code of honour and code of ethics. But will kill whomever, whenever needed.
And once again, since you are watching the original Superman movies (I really only recommend the first two, maybe third, but not fourth)! I also recommend Flash Gordon (1980). Bright, colorful, amazing song and soundtrack from Queen, great cast, and Sam Jones as Flash Gordon, like a mix between Superman and Clark Kent. Chooses sci fi pulp comic fun. And a fun fact: originally George Lucas came to the Flash Gordon rights holders in the early 70s to try and make a Flash Gordon movie, since he was such a fan of the early shows and comics and serials. The rights holders were already developing a script, so they told Lucas no, so he went on to make Star Wars, which borrows fun ideas from Flash Gordon. And the success of Star Wars a few years later paved the way for the Flash Gordon movie to get made, since more positive, fun sci-fi was back in popularity again!
Jawa’s kind of remind me of the Minions from Gru, almost always getting into trouble and mischief. Occasionally finding targets of opportunity and yet they stay together like family.
I love this show. It absolutely feels like Star Wars. I am very thankful that Jon Favreau Created this series. Honestly think Jon had taken interest in Star Wars before part 7/8/9 came out. Would have loved to of seen what he could have done with them.
IG88 was a droid that developed sentience and decided to become an assasin/bounty hunter, it also made copies of itself in order to do this more efficiently
Really glad you are doing this series! As everyone else is saying, there has been some sub-par Star Wars lately but this show is DEFINITELY among the best things Star Wars has put out in decades. Can't wait for your next set of episodes!
So glad you're back in the STAR WARS universe reactions. I remember how fun it was when you reacted to the original movies, it was a great ride!! Looking forward to you watching the rest of this series, you're really gonna love it. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
After you finish this season, you should start watching Clone Wars, for spoiler reasons as well as the fact that the show rules. You might need a fan-made list of essential episodes as it is a different beast to almost every show out there, but you should definitely watch at least a few episodes before Mando season 2. I have spoken.
@@darthevol5734 I agree but I think she could say, watch some CW, then Andor, when it comes out, then Mando S2, then more CW, and so on... It's a lot of episodes. It would be good to space them out. But as you say she MUST see all of these amazing episodes. Clone Wars Darth Maul is literally tied with Vader for second favorite Star Wars villain. I have spoken.
I could listen to Werner Herzog (the man with the scary voice as you describe him) talk all day long. He’s got a great accent and the pacing of his voice is super relaxing to me.
The helpful character that negociated with the Jawas and helped rebuild Mando's ship is named Quiil. He is a species known as Ugnaught. There were Ugnaught characters working in the "recycling room" in Cloud City in Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. They threw C3PO's disconnected head around the room in a game of "keep away" when Chewbacca was trying to retreive C3PO's parts to reassemble him.
One of the best things about this show is the title track. John Williams will always be top tier, but we can also agree that Ludwig Goransson is always a win. Also, IG-11 is voiced and portrayed by Taika Waititi. He's working on his own Star Wars project as well.
About the timeline. The series is a few yeras after the sixth episode (return of the jedi), but before episode seven. I dont say anymore, and I wish you a lot of fun with the series.
The Mandalorian takes place a few years after the Empire was defeated in Return of the Jedi (Episode 6) and almost 30 years before The Force Awakens (Episode 7). Hope this helps.
Thank you for the preview and opinion-- now I know what the lick is about-- totally not what I expected, so will not bother with more of it. Keep up the good work, Cassie-- love your reaction and insights and have to chuckle at some of your queries during the viewing. Love it. Again, thank you, Happy Viewing.
I think this is the best Star Wars content ever. Better than any of the movies. I know that’s controversial. There is just a quiet thoughtfulness that makes it feel so profound. It’s truly a space western and the character depth is better than anything the movies have ever done.
Incase nobody told you yet, Mandalorians were a culture/religion of soldiers. They were kind of like space vikings, and had conquered so much of the galaxy that the Jedi got involved, eventually defeating them and kind of shattering their empire. Now they kind of congregate in tribes, or work as individuals as guns for hire. Because they're a strictly warrior culture, they're notoriously skilled and very prized as mercenaries. They also tend to take in orphans and absolve them into their culture, so they're not strictly a race, but name themselves after their first leader, Mandalore. Whenever a leader rises to power he becomes known as the new Mandalore. They're also known for Beskar Steel, Mando's payment for baby Yoda, which makes some of the finest armor in the galaxy because it can resist blaster fire, and comes from their native world.
SO glad you're doing this series Cassie!! It's the best Star Wars show to come out in a loooong time. You will fall even more in love with "Baby Yoda" than you already have. 😊 Keep being you!!
The big thing I love about Mandalorian is you can tell what he’s thinking without having to see his face.
I guess in reality that would be a big disadvantage.😂 But I don't think in his universe, people could do shit knowing what he thinks, anyway.
@@kalakritistudios I think its easier for us because we have some idea of his personality, motivations, etc, but its more of mystery to the beings and people he encounters,

19:24 Cassie, think of it this way: If you were the star of this show, they would've called it "The Earthling" instead... "Mando" is short for Mandalorian... By the way, the guy who calls him Mando is Carl Weathers, the actor who played Appolo Creed in the "Rocky" movies! And Kuill -- Mando's "little friend in the desert" -- is voiced by Nick Nolte! And the IG-11 bounty hunter droid is voiced by Taika Waititi!
The best part of this show (for all of us that watched it when it first came out) was we had NO IDEA baby Yoda was going to be in it. So, the end of the first episode had everyone going crazy. Disney kept it such a secret that there was no baby Yoda merchandise for a good long while (because producing the merchandise would have likely leaked the show's big secret). The Mandalorian is easily my favorite Star Wars thing since Return of the Jedi... though I did like Rogue One and Solo quite a bit.
You can blame us in the UK and Europe for no merch, we didn't get Disney+ until the following April. I managed to somehow avoid spoilers!
Well, it's not really Yoda...just people refer to it as Baby Yoda. Same species, different person. Yoda is not a species either, just a name.
So happy you're watching this Cassie! The voice actor is Pedro Pascal btw. There are actually a TON of Easter eggs and larger Star Wars cannon nods in this show. For those of us who have been deep in the universe for many years, this show was fantastic for reasons beyond it just being an amazing show. I could go on and on!
Well done for spoiling the surprise for her when he finally takes his helmet off. 🤔
My husband and I LOVED watching this series. I think he enjoyed it the most because he'd be watching me every time "Baby Yoda" was on screen I'd have a silent full body cuteness freak out. 🤣❤💕
This was such a great series, loved it from the first episode.
Me too!!
It’s another of Yoda’s species
Mandalorian is a people, a culture, one of warriors. They have been long known
The _First Order_ is gone after IX
Beskar is mandalorian steel
Foundlings are child mandalorians
If the Child is 50 years old, then he would’ve been born around the same time as Anakin
Yoda died at 900. He said he trained jedi for 800. So the Child’s due for a growth spurt in his next 50 years. Unless Yoda was an early bloomer
“Another gremlin thingy” …a frog?
This is the Way.
also Kuiil is an Ugnaught, who were introduced in Empire strikes back in Cloud City.
I think it is incorrect to assume he is a baby. He doesn't act like a baby at all. Yeah, he is tiny, but so is Yoda. I believe he is more equivalent to an 8-10 year old child. Meaning at the age of 100 he could be equivalent to a 20+ year old human.
yes pls post spoilers after she uploaded the first 2 episodes like wtf?
why would u spoil that for her
If you haven't heard already, John Favreau based the Mandolorian on movies he watched as a kid. He was mostly inspired by The Man with No Name series (Clint Eastwood). As usual, I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to more.
...... I did not know this, no wonder mando always reminded me a bit of Clint Eastwood in his western films.
@@mikeyc2110 the voice as well!
@@harrybuedel2112 he does it so well... makes me want to go watch said westerns
Explains why The Mandalorian feels like a spaghetti Western.
I’m glad you’re starting on this journey to watch The Mandolorian, it’s one of my favorite shows of all time and my most favorite show in the Star Wars universe
Mando is played by Pedro Pascal, a great actor. I love his voice too!
When you said “that feels like Star Wars,” I could totally relate! YES. That is why The Mandalorian is so amazing! I absolutely love this show and cannot wait for the next season (it’s overdue). I am so glad to have you join in and can’t wait to watch more of your reviews. Baby Yoda is so much the yin to Mando’s yang. It’s the best.
She is gonna LOVE this !!! I've been waiting for her to watch this !!! Best wishes everyone !!!
2:45 That’s Pedro Pascal for you!
Fun fact, the mud horn (the creature in episode 2) is based on an extinct species of rhino called Elasmotherium. They really got that big and were probably about as friendly.
Whats great with the Mandalorian is that it feels like an Old School Star Wars.
Like it was a Mix between a Western and a Samurai movie, wich where Star Wars inspirations actually.
Its Gritty and Dirty, with Bad Ass moments.
People always say "western" and "samurai" as influences, and that's true. But I think there is a more suitable comparison. Mando is a knight errant.
Star Wars isn't a science fiction. It's science fantasy. In addition to space ships and lasers, you have princesses and magic. Luke Skywalker is a classic character type, being the inexperienced everyman that goes on a journey and defeats the big evil. Mando is a different character type, but because his character type is equally classic, it feels right at home in the universe. Mando travels, lives by a code, and is a perpetual underdog. This is the same character type that many western and samurai stories use. The difference being that Mando also wears heavy armor, and often fights monsters and machines that are many times larger than he is. Hell, there's a dragon in season 2. Ironic as it is, Jedi Knights fill more of a wizard role in the universe. Mando is the real knight of the setting. He fits right into the tone of the world without feeling like a rehash of things that have come before.
@@DrLipkin you’re right that Star Wars is a space fantasy: and in that regard, The Mandalorian (or the Memberberrian, as I call it) fails.
George Lucas’ Star Wars were proper myths that passed down timeless moral values. Disney’s Star Wars are postmodernist drivel that reinforce the cultural zeitgeist of the next generation knowing it all (Rey’s entire character line: it’s not an arc, just a straight line), women power (Rey, Holdo, Jyn Erso, Fennic Shand, Ahsoka, Bo-Katan’s Mandalorian gal pal) and especially moral relativism.
The Memberberrian does that last one particularly, as does Rogue One: which is why I roll my eyes whenever someone says that this is “real Star Wars.” It’s not: it’s just reinforcing the same bs relativistic propaganda y’all have been spoonfed and brainwashed into believing is “deep” and “nuanced” since childhood. If OG Star Wars was like The Memberberrian, Luke would have become Darth Vader, the Empire would unironically be portrayed as the good guys (even after blowing up Alderaan and almost blowing up Endor, with their own people on it, no less!), and Leia would have been the Chosen One.
@@OneTrueVikingbard Chill out. All I said was that Mando wears armor and fights monsters like a knight in a fantasy story would.
Cassie, you said something many fans have said in the past. "This felt like Star Wars". Other Disney productions really doesn't feel like Star Wars, they are other space generic stuff with the star wars label on it sadly. Looking at your reaction to the first 2 episodes you are going to love these 2 seasons. Enjoy! This is the way
Giant eye roll
@@chand911 I get it's not an opinion some people like to hear, but it's not exactly an uncommon opinion. For myself, I said the same thing "This felt like Star Wars." Which is not something I could say about anything but the original trilogy and the Rebels cartoon. And, to an extent, The Force Awakens, inasmuch as it was a well-executed rehash of the original trilogy.
@@chand911 Roll them back
Legit Star Wars
The Disney productions didn't just have a Star Wars label. The blasters sounded like blasters. The light sabers sounded like light sabers. Tatooine looked like tatooine. The score was on point. They were generic Hollywood action movies wearing a Star Wars skin suit, Ed Gein style.
I love how you are on your way to becoming a true Star Wars nerd. From having never watched any of the movies, now starting to the shows, I can’t wait to see down the road. You’re going to be so knowledgeable. 😊
This is between return of the jedi and the force awakens - a foundling is a mandalorian who was not born into the mandalorians but was adopted into it.
The Mandalorian made me fall in love with Star Wars all over again.
Mando having to tell the bounty droid not to self destruct over and over always cracks me up
The Imperial Officer who hired the Mandalorian (the one with the "villain voice") was played by Werner Herzog. He's an independent film-maker with a long filmography.
And, long known for his boundless evil.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Oh, yes. Herzog is Pillar of Darkness. He's been casting inky blackness into the hearts of mankind for decades.
He was the one who told Filoni and Faveraeu to use the puppet for baby yoda instead of CGI. I think his words were, "don't be a coward! use the puppet."
@@placebo5466 Just like we liked the puppet for Yoda, we enjoy the puppet for baby yoda.
And he has an awesome voice. His movie Grizzly Man I think is one of the best documentary movies of all time.
14:59 funny you mention babybjörn, at my job here in sweden we produce screws for the babybjörn carrier:) i made the tools for the machine that makes them hehe
This was a lot of fun. Loved your reaction, Cassie. Can't wait to see the next one!
Star Wars is at its best when it is "Old West" meets "Far East" in a SF setting, which The Mandalorian does magnificently.
Yep. A classic combination of Kurosawa films like Seven Samurai and Sergio Leone's\Clint Eastwood's man with no name films.
I can't thank you enough for doing this, my boys and I wanted to see this but I don't have streaming here and now we can watch it with you, little Yoda is just the cutest! And I love the Mandalorian's voice and demeanor also. :)
Cassie, I'm sure someone already mentioned it, we originally met the Mandalorians in the Clone Wars animated series. I had never watched them when I started watching this show. I didn't watch them until early in Season 2 of the Mandalorian because there is stuff in Clone Wars and Rebels (the successor animated series) which would be important to know for Season 2. So, I binged watched them, and was so glad that I did. You don't have to watch them on your channel, but you'd benefit by seeing them before you get to Season 2. I'm an OG Star Wars guy. Saw it in the theater back in 77, and I've seen all the movies since. I was never interested in any of the other stuff. Cartoons, comics. Not really my thing. I tried watching the first couple episodes of Clone Wars, but I just couldn't get into it. It takes almost the full first season to become invested. But, I'm very glad that I did. One of my very favorite Star Wars characters grows up in the show, and as a viewer and a fan, I'd say I was well rewarded for the investment of time. Especially when you get to the middle of Season 2. Thank you for your reactions. They're always delightful.
I first encountered Mandalorians in the Knights of the Old Republic comics... ... in the early '90s, I think? And then again in the KotOR video game in 2003. I was immediately obsessed and the Clone Wars version (pacifists) made me hate the show for aaaages. (I had to get over my saltiness to rewatch the entire CW series and fall properly in love with it. XD)
Yay! So glad you're watching this!
1:10 Star Wars starts with episode 4 because when it was first made in 1977, it was originally episode 1. The original films were then made to be episodes 4, 5, and 6 (and the opening crawl on subsequent releases of those episodes was modified to reflect this) once the prequels were made (the prequels then became episodes 1, 2, and 3).
Also, The Mandalorian takes place shortly after Return of the Jedi.
Thats not true. The opening crawl was changed to say Episode 4 back in 1981. Lucas had always planned the prequels, he just didnt include a hint of them in the movies until he knew the series was a success.
@@BasketCase-rr7tx Okay, I got the timing wrong. Still, A New Hope was originally episode 1 and was changed to episode 4 once Lucas knew he would make the prequel trilogy.
Love the Ewok shirt! And you're crushing on Din Djarin! You'll love him even more are the series continues ♥️
I’ve only been watching this channel for a month or so and I can’t get enough!!!! You give me the ability to watch my favorite films and tv shows with a new perspective!!! Thank you for all that you do you make my day every time!!!!! :)
Welcome to the channel, Adam, we're having a Livestream tomorrow (Saturday Aug 20) at 2PM Mountain time, drop by if you have a chance, and have fun chatting with Cassie!
Cassie will definitely enjoy the Mandalorian. I have Spoken.
This is the way
The way this is!
She's a simple lady who'll be making her way through The Mandalorian with great enjoyment. Like us fans before her.
Well Yoda was like 900 years old when he died when Luke found him so their species really ages differently than humans. It's 50 and it is still a small child.
This makes no sense, but then, I'm not a writer for The Mandolorian.
Glad to see you watching this series. Can't wait to go through it with you. I know you'll just love it.
So glad you're watching this, hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It will take you through a whole gamut of emotions.
Glad you’re finally getting around to this series. It just gets better from here.
Hey, Cassie, you mentioned in the beginning, the confusion of the movies starting with Episode IV.
I'll do my best here:
When the first movie was in theaters in 1977, it was only titled "Star Wars" (without the 'Episode IV' and without 'A New Hope' in the subtitle).
Lucas had written rough scripts for The Skywalker Saga (i.e., episodes 1-6) already but left 'Episode IV' off the title to avoid confusing the audience. He chose to begin with IV because he felt the story was more engaging and action-packed for the audience to start with, and because of the limits of special effects of the time. There were things in the prequels that couldn't have been done in 1977.
With the huge success of the film, he was set to do the whole saga, and titled the next one "Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". A year later, "Star Wars" was re-released in theaters as "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope".
By the way, The Mandalorian takes place, not after Episode IX, but 5 years after the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
I almost gave up on Star Wars after the disastrous sequel trilogy. This amazing show brought me back. Enjoy watching it for the first time.
Just got home from work to watch this reaction. Had to change into something appropriate! Like a P I B Oh My Gosh t shirt!!
You have now experienced the heart melting cuteness of Baby Yoda!! You are now one of the countless others who have fallen in love with this little package of preciousness!! Looking forward to more episodes to come!!
Take care, Cassie
THIS IS THE WAY
The Mandalorian is awesome. You are gonna LOVE it!
Cassie you are such a ray of sunshine, I love your reaction! It's like watching my favorite shows with a brand new fan.
I wish I could go back in time and experience the reveal of the child unspoiled. I didn’t have access to Disney+ right away, nor did I have access to it until a few months after it had debuted. As a result, I saw all the pictures of the child that friends, relatives, and others on the internet shared long before I actually saw this show. I imagine that it would have been a most memorable experience watching the first episode of this, not knowing about the child.
why?
Meh, the reveal wasn’t a big deal. Well, for my part, anyway 🫤
It was pretty amazing, yes.
Indeed it was memorable. Seeing those green, pointy ears popping out of that pod for the first time was DA SHIT.
Watch a handful of other reactions from the original release 2 years ago. The surprise and amazement is palpable.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been in a position where it's hard to meet new people for over a year now due to my job and living location and watching you watch my favorite stuff feels like having a friend to watch with!
Welcome to the channel! We have a FANTASTIC community over on the Patreon-exclusive Discord server, if you're ever feeling a need to connect. -Jon www.patreon.com/popcorninbed
I am so happy you are watching this series. It is my favorite. Also keep in mind as you watch these shows, they bring in many fan favorite characters from the animated shows (Clone Wars, Rebels, etc.). So there will be and is many characters that you may not recognize at first, but who are very important and beloved. So keep that in the back of your head. Anyway, I'm so hyped for this journey!
FINALLY!! You are a true Star Wars fan. Glad you got hooked right away. You get a lot of Mandalorian explanation and detail in The Clone Wars!!
Haha yeah, they hooked us all with that first episode. 🤣👍
I’m so psyched that you’re watching this series. It’s one of the best 😄 Can’t wait to see your future videos as you learn more about the characters!
I have friends who were in this show. The alien Mando says “no droids” is a friend who also played several droids and others were stormtroopers.
Did he get to hang with brian posehn at all?
Happy to see you starting, wanted to rewatch from season 1 myself again recently. You're gonna love it.
My wife and I put off watching this until after S2 had started. For some reason we just weren't that interested in it. I'm so glad we finally took the plunge. It really is an excellent show!
I am so, so happy you are now reacting to my favorite Star Wars series! You will enjoy this series....it is the best!!!
Excited for you to see this! (I mean, at this point you've already seen it, but I'm excited to see when you first saw it, lol)
This is the way. This is the way.
Mandolorian is an awesome tv-show. It is just awesome.
I have spoken.
Having a yuck day and when I saw you were doing this I'm like "oh hell yes lets do this" so thank you
Werner Herzog is the "evil voice" guy, as you put it. Famous director and sometimes actor. He is German so that is his true accent. He essentially played the same role (evil guy) in the first Jack Reacher movie, which you should watch since it is very good. Herzog is a very convincing bad guy.
Good choice watching this one! The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars TV show. And it gets better and better as it goes.
Thanks!
Please watch THE NEVERENDING STORY. (R.I.P. Wolfgang Petersen! 😔)
'That FELT like Star Wars'. This is the first time I have seen this and I feel the same. Baby Yoda using 'the source'...(!?) Cool as ice, helmeted bounty hunters. It seems good.
I highly recommend also checking out the animated series, especially Clone Wars and Rebels. Ideally before Mandalorian S2 and Book of Boba Fett, as Clone Wars and Rebels introduce a lot of characters and lore connected to those shows. They’re not necessary viewing, but they do make the viewing experience even better
This is a bit of a daunting and time consuming task, especially if you wanna get to S2 asap, as Clone Wars is 7 seasons and Rebels is 4. Clone Wars is an anthology show, so it definitely isn’t necessary to watch every single episode. I actually made a list of episodes and arcs I consider necessary/essential viewing that I’d be happy to share
Rebels is a lot more of an interconnected story, following the same group for the whole show, so it’s preferable to watch all of it.
You an I seem to make our rounds recommending CW and Rebels... its seems not often we succeed sadly
@@johnwkindig1613 it’s a sad reality that animation is still overlooked. And the time it would take to watch 11 seasons of material doesn’t help 😅
@@andyrobin7196 It wouldn't take years to watch them. May take some binging but is doable and well worth it.
I agree that it would be way too much to react to but, I think it would be well worth it for her to do a little binging on her own the next few weeks. It would provide some bits and pieces of information that will be referenced throughout the series. Plus, it's really high quality. I do have to admit that the narrator's voice gets annoying to me after awhile.
@@jonmercano1138 but they are short episodes. You can watch one arc one sitting.
TIMELINE:
Mandalorian takes place in 9 ABY which is 9 years after Episode 4, and 4 years after the collapse of the empire. The empire is not gone but fractured into many remnants, which have retreated to the outer rim and lost control of most of the core worlds. The new republic is still very new and struggling to take control of the power vacuum. episode 7 takes place much later in 34 ABY which is 25 years later
Bluugs are a native species on Ryloth. The planet where Twi'leks are from. There is a holdout blaster named after them. Mandalorian are a culture. But depending on what side of history you are from the definition changes. They are incredibly diverse in their beliefs. Many are loners going from planet to planet as mercenaries or Bounty Hunters. Their ways have existed several thousand years before the Old Republic was formed. Any member of any species can be a Mandalorian.
**reads first two lines** ohh, this sounds like Lord Of The Rings.
@@kalakritistudios Thanks. I’m a big fan. Although I did spell Bluurg wrong. Lol.
AWESOME!!!!!! you are going to love this series. A mandalorian is hard to define. Mandalore is the name of their planet, and also what they call their leader. the mandalorians are a warrior culture that has a strict code of honour and code of ethics. But will kill whomever, whenever needed.
_"A mandalorian is hard to define."_
Well, it's like a mix of Templar Knight and Knight of the Round Table iiin spaaaace.
And once again, since you are watching the original Superman movies (I really only recommend the first two, maybe third, but not fourth)! I also recommend Flash Gordon (1980). Bright, colorful, amazing song and soundtrack from Queen, great cast, and Sam Jones as Flash Gordon, like a mix between Superman and Clark Kent. Chooses sci fi pulp comic fun.
And a fun fact: originally George Lucas came to the Flash Gordon rights holders in the early 70s to try and make a Flash Gordon movie, since he was such a fan of the early shows and comics and serials. The rights holders were already developing a script, so they told Lucas no, so he went on to make Star Wars, which borrows fun ideas from Flash Gordon. And the success of Star Wars a few years later paved the way for the Flash Gordon movie to get made, since more positive, fun sci-fi was back in popularity again!
Jawa’s kind of remind me of the Minions from Gru, almost always getting into trouble and mischief. Occasionally finding targets of opportunity and yet they stay together like family.
I love this show. It absolutely feels like Star Wars. I am very thankful that Jon Favreau Created this series. Honestly think Jon had taken interest in Star Wars before part 7/8/9 came out. Would have loved to of seen what he could have done with them.
IG88 was a droid that developed sentience and decided to become an assasin/bounty hunter, it also made copies of itself in order to do this more efficiently
Really glad you are doing this series! As everyone else is saying, there has been some sub-par Star Wars lately but this show is DEFINITELY among the best things Star Wars has put out in decades. Can't wait for your next set of episodes!
So glad you're back in the STAR WARS universe reactions. I remember how fun it was when you reacted to the original movies, it was a great ride!! Looking forward to you watching the rest of this series, you're really gonna love it. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
After you finish this season, you should start watching Clone Wars, for spoiler reasons as well as the fact that the show rules. You might need a fan-made list of essential episodes as it is a different beast to almost every show out there, but you should definitely watch at least a few episodes before Mando season 2. I have spoken.
Some of Rebels might also be worthwhile (especially to understand Ahsoka and her last encounter with Vader).
I would suggest watching episodes around mandalorians, ahsoka, maul, Anakin, and the core of 501st episodes
@@bobogus7559 good point, but that's something that would better come later
@@darthevol5734 I agree but I think she could say, watch some CW, then Andor, when it comes out, then Mando S2, then more CW, and so on... It's a lot of episodes. It would be good to space them out. But as you say she MUST see all of these amazing episodes. Clone Wars Darth Maul is literally tied with Vader for second favorite Star Wars villain. I have spoken.
@@andyrobin7196 ?
I could listen to Werner Herzog (the man with the scary voice as you describe him) talk all day long. He’s got a great accent and the pacing of his voice is super relaxing to me.
The Mandalorian is so much better than the sequel trilogy, This is the way.
You have spoken
This is the Way
Sequel trilogy? What Sequel trilogy?? Lol
What isn't?
This is the way
The helpful character that negociated with the Jawas and helped rebuild Mando's ship is named Quiil. He is a species known as Ugnaught. There were Ugnaught characters working in the "recycling room" in Cloud City in Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. They threw C3PO's disconnected head around the room in a game of "keep away" when Chewbacca was trying to retreive C3PO's parts to reassemble him.
I forgot how flat-out GREAT this looks. And, of course, this means we will get a fresh reaction to the Season 2 finale. NO ONE SAY A GODDAMN THING
We won't lol
I won’t give any specifics about how dumb the finale of season 2 is. Just know, Cassie, it’s dumb.
@@oddjob914 opinions vary, it would seem.
@@roberttruhn5067 They are basically like buttholes - everybody has one.
I think someone already wrote something, but (shakes head) I'm not thinking about it!!
The character that was playing Mando’s friend that helped him get all his parts back was played by Nick Nolte.
One of the best things about this show is the title track. John Williams will always be top tier, but we can also agree that Ludwig Goransson is always a win.
Also, IG-11 is voiced and portrayed by Taika Waititi. He's working on his own Star Wars project as well.
So hyped you're finally watching this! Best star wars show
PLEASE watch STAR TREK! 🖖
And Doctor Who and Red Dwarf
Battle star Galactica!
About the timeline. The series is a few yeras after the sixth episode (return of the jedi), but before episode seven. I dont say anymore, and I wish you a lot of fun with the series.
Watch "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" please! (Only ten episodes by now)
The Mandalorian takes place a few years after the Empire was defeated in Return of the Jedi (Episode 6) and almost 30 years before The Force Awakens (Episode 7).
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the preview and opinion-- now I know what the lick is about-- totally not what I expected, so will not bother with more of it. Keep up the good work, Cassie-- love your reaction and insights and have to chuckle at some of your queries during the viewing. Love it. Again, thank you, Happy Viewing.
I think this is the best Star Wars content ever. Better than any of the movies. I know that’s controversial. There is just a quiet thoughtfulness that makes it feel so profound. It’s truly a space western and the character depth is better than anything the movies have ever done.
HYPEEE! Let's go! I've been so excited for you to get to this one for SO LONG!!
The Mandalorian is great!
Cassie, you are going to LOVE this series! Super writing! Great characters! Hold on, dear!
finally! this is the best Star Wars content of the last few years!
Incase nobody told you yet, Mandalorians were a culture/religion of soldiers. They were kind of like space vikings, and had conquered so much of the galaxy that the Jedi got involved, eventually defeating them and kind of shattering their empire.
Now they kind of congregate in tribes, or work as individuals as guns for hire. Because they're a strictly warrior culture, they're notoriously skilled and very prized as mercenaries. They also tend to take in orphans and absolve them into their culture, so they're not strictly a race, but name themselves after their first leader, Mandalore. Whenever a leader rises to power he becomes known as the new Mandalore.
They're also known for Beskar Steel, Mando's payment for baby Yoda, which makes some of the finest armor in the galaxy because it can resist blaster fire, and comes from their native world.
Finally a reaction to a series that I have watched. I haven't watch anything in your channel for a whole month 😂😂 I love the Mandalorian 😊😊
Enjoy the journey.
You're gonna love it.
So happy you're watching this! Excellent
SO glad you're doing this series Cassie!! It's the best Star Wars show to come out in a loooong time. You will fall even more in love with "Baby Yoda" than you already have. 😊 Keep being you!!
♥♥♥♥ Yes ! , soo happy you're reacting to this finally , The Mandalorian is what Star Wars should be. Enjoy!
I'm so excited for you. Enjoy the journey!
You make me want to rewatch. Makes me remember why I like the series... Thanks.
