aarswft what do you mean rewrite? The Clone Wars came out years before The Mandalorian. If you’re referring to the EU then I totally disagree. The idea of their society and culture being made up of multiple species is stupid, especially considering how their society is made up of clans. The canon version first introduced in The Clone Wars makes a lot more sense. And considering that TCW and Rebels are canon, The Mandalorian has a lot of plot holes that need to be resolved aka “The Way”.
To add onto that, so that she understands - the style of armor they wear is distinctive, which is why they assume he's a Mandalorian at first glance. IIRC, even Obi-wan assumed Jango Fett was a Mandalorian because of his armor, but in The Clone Wars, a high-ranking Mandalorian official denies it, claiming Fett was just a common bounty hunter who got his hands on a set of their armor somehow. (In the expanded universe, prior to that episode, he *was* a Mandalorian, but George Lucas decided to change that.)
@@BaronVonHoovy To be quite honest, Almec was a corrupt politician who sought to keep the peaceful Mandalore image intact. In my opinion, Jango is a Mandalorian by birth, since he purportedly was born on Concord Dawn which was a Mandalorian colony, and to a lesser degree by creed. Boba, being a clone raised as the son of Jango, is not really a Mandalorian due to him being both a clone and only briefly taught by Jango while others such as Aurra Sing and maybe even Cade Bane taught him how to be a ruthless bounty hunter. Boba's armor was also scavenged and pieced together, possibly in memory of the armor his father had worn.
Another interesting facet about the "Mando" nickname given to the character potentially comes from the world of Westerns from which The Mandalorian takes a lot of influence. Clint Eastwood's stoic poncho-wearing "Man With No Name" gunslinger in Sergio Leone's landmark "Dollars Trilogy" of spaghetti western films is named "Manco" in the second film of the trilogy, "For a Few Dollars More" (my personal favorite of the three). Eastwood's character has a different name in each film in the trilogy, with "Joe" being his name in "A Fistful of Dollars," and as "Blondie" in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Now, I'm not actually sure whether or not The Mandalorian's showrunners and writers used "Mando" as an intentional reference to Eastwood's "Manco" - but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were true.
As I remember, he was a foundling who was saved by the Mandalorians who then adopted The Way and became one of them. It's explained pretty well in a later episode how all that stuff works.
@@NatalieGoldReacts here's a recommendation u Should watch star wars the clone wars..... It's a better prequel than the prequel movies in my opinion..... Also granted there's about 133 Episodes I believe..... But still worth it if you can't watch all the ones I really recommend are..... and here they are in order The first three episodes in season 2 plus the last episode in season 1 Season 2 Episodes 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 (warning this arc does get a bit creepy it introduces zombies into the star wars universe) The mandalorian arc.... There's three episodes in season 2 that introduce the mandalorians, Episodes 12 13 and 14 Boba Fett's revenge.... Is a four-part story arc in season 2 ..... There the last 4 Episodes The night sister trilogy it is a great arc ...in my opinion and worth the watch, Episodes 12 13 and 14 Season 4 Episodes 15 16 and 17 The citadel trilogy... It's a really good three-part arc in season 3, Episodes 18 19 and 20 The first four episodes of season 4... The first three is an arc .. the fourth episode is a stand-alone episode The umbara arc..... Episodes 7 8 9 and 10 The last 4 Episodes in season 4 great story arc... Get ready for one of the most shocking moments you will see in this show and in Star wars history in my opinion Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2 and 14 and 15 and 16...great story arcs Ashoka on the run story arc.... Episode 17 18 19 and 20 The clone conspiracy arc, Episodes 1 2 3 and 4 the first four episodes in season 7 and the last four episodes in season 7 my God the last four are worth it trust me.... All those arcs I just told you are worth the watch do watch them in order though... What if you want to watch all a hundred and thirty-three episodes then be my guest... but if you want to review the canal more show I would recommend that reviewing those arcs... If you're worried about missing out on a few things you shouldn't this show is an anthology series meaning not every episode is an order for instance there was a clone wars movie that comes before the show then there's this episode and season one called the hidden enemy and the story is there is a clone amongst the clones that's a trailer and they must find him.. and guess when in the timeline this episode takes place right before the events of the movie you see what I mean episodes are very much out of order....

datz fatz Or just someone with a life... I’m sorry I’m not able to spend my time learning the fictional language of an almost extinct fictional race. I guess I’m not a true fan 🤦🏾♂️
The species of Yoda has never been named; so everyone refers to this baby as Baby Yoda because no one knows what else to call it. Sure, of course, it is not Yoda. We don't know where it came from. We can only guess: it could be a clone of Yoda, or simply a youngling of the same species. I'm sure we'll all learn more at some point. (So...don't feel uncomfortable calling it Baby Yoda. Everyone calls it Baby Yoda, even though it is not Yoda).
I guess there COULD be a twist whereby the baby is at some point sent many centuries back in time, so that he actually IS Yoda. But it would be rather awkward, and time travel is something the Star Wars setting has almost completely avoided so far. I would like it to continue that way.
For a second I wondered if maybe Yoda had gone one step farther with the Force ghost thing and actually reincarnated himself, but the timing doesn't work, as the Child would already have been alive when Yoda died (also other reasons the theory didn't hold up, but might be spoilers so I'll shut up).
@Natalie Gold I'll let you in on a little secret.................. I'VE DEFINITELY already seen these movies before 😮🤭 I COULD watch them by myself again.... Or I could turn on someone ELSE watching them and having A REACTION to them. Genuine or not. That's not to say I second the accusation of 'fakery' on your part......more just that I don't really care. Your reactions are good enough lol If they're fake then you're a pretty decent actress as well. That's all that means to me 🤔👍🧐
The "Awwwwwww" that Natalie lets out when she sees Baby Yoda is something millions of people did when they saw this for the first time. He embedded himself into our hearts from the very first second.
I am deeply impressed that you recognized Werner Herzog. Love watching your react vids. You´re so passionate about those Movies. Greetings from Hamburg (ger)
I love that even though you had seen Baby yoda in memes and stuff, you didn’t know the context and still got a genuine surprise at the reveal. Just imagine what it was like for us when it was new. The Internet lost its collective minds over Baby yoda. And you’re right, it’s not Baby yoda. But that’s what most people call “The Child”
DRockeh Yeah I’m thankful that I watched it on the day or release which was also the launch of Disney Plus, it was a genuine surprise not marred by the appearance of the toy in the stores. We had the best experience not even knowing OF The Child prior to that scene.
The music and cinematography in this show are on another level. Especially the music! It really gives you western vibes - but also sounds eerie. Perfect for this kind of story.
Something excellent after every episode is seeing the production art. It’s all so amazing to see how they envisioned things and then how they turned out.
Great you're doing this series, Nat. It's seriously the best thing to come out of Star Wars in 37 years (since VI). It's astonishing how much emotion they convey through Mando when he's constantly masked, really proves how good the team behind this series was in comparison to.... recent Star Wars projects.
sometimes its hard to remembers its not Legends. but hate the fact that the empire fall apart so fast and easily on the canon, they are HUGE and have a lot of loyalists, how can they just disappear in a few years ?
@@danilooliveira6580 canon explanation I believe is that a lot of its unity came from Palpatine using the Force to sort of persuade and motivate them to work together, soon as he died it was every Moff for himself and it dissolved in a bunch of separate small domains. Even without the Force shenanigans, there are real life examples of stuff like this happening. Alexander the Great's empire crumbled at record speed after his death. He was the one charismatic figure keeping it together, without him the succession wars ripped it to pieces. It doesn't help that empires on the scale of the galaxy must be really hard to centralise. Travel from one end of the Empire to the other takes weeks in Star Wars, months maybe, so it's a lot more like ancient empires than modern states. There would have to be a lot of autonomy for the peripheral territories. When Rome fell, too, most of its territories just kind of had to start fending for themselves.
So some general Mandalorian background info that can help understanding of the story. Mandalorians were a warrior race that once fought the Jedi, kinda space Spartans. They are known for their armor, jetpacks, and certain weaponry. They are considered very skilled warriors throughout the galaxy but at a certain point the mandalorian people as a whole discontinued the warrior culture in favor of more pacifist ideals. Some mandalorians didnt like that and continued the warriors way. One of the factions that did that was called Death Watch which is important for if you watch Clone Wars. Jango and Boba Fett wore Mandalorian armor. Whether or not the Fetts and by extention the Clone army were themselves Mandalorians is up for debate. Old Legends Canon they were, New Disney canon has yet to confirm anything.
Legends version is better in my opinion, currently reading the Republic Commando series and it's absolutely fantastic, a shame it's not finished though.
Isaiah Albers Mandalore the great was referenced by the Mandaloren smith along with the Mandaloren wars which Dave is a massive fan of the whole Knights of the old republic era of Star Wars
2nd legend I personally don’t like the old republic designs (MMO) it’s very much over done in a lot of areas for example the Republic troopers and a lot of Sith armours there very World of Warcraft in that MMO art style. I adore the Knights of the old republic style throughout its great has that Star Wars retro look to it but also feels like it’s own thing Mandaloren Neo Crusaders are one of my favourite eras of Mandaloren armours the Republic ships and armours looks amazing and the Sith fleets and Armors are great along with the countless planets with their own cultural styles it all felts into Star Wars. But I do think the Mandaloren Season 2 may go into some old lore from The Mandalorens even in Clone Wars you could see a Neo Crusader Helmet from KOTOR
The Star Wars fans; Rogue One and The Clone Wars (TV) The horror fans; The Thing (1982) Me; Blade Runner, The Usual Suspects, and Dune would all be interesting
Seeing this in my recommended list made my day, watching it was nearly as good. I hope nobody is going to spoil anything for you. I am excited for the reaction to the following episodes and the joy and excitement you are probably going to experience. Your reactions are among my favourites, especially because they have an even flow and are easy to watch. Btw, you are on point with your timeline, the setting is taking place after episode 6.
Everybody fell in love with the adorable baby Yoda. We still don’t know it’s name or species name, so you like everyone else just calls him Baby Yoda or The Child. You’re going to enjoy this series. There are like 5 different directors so you can really tell the difference in story styles when you watch each episode. Happy viewing! 🙂
Werner Herzog was such a random casting but he’s great in that role. Another fun cast member you may not have caught is the IG droid that he briefly teamed up with at the end is voiced by Taika Waititi. Taika also directed the season finale.
You won’t learn what a Mandalorian is in this series, as it makes the assumption you know what it is to begin with. It’s explained in the Clone Wars TV series or the non-canon expanded universe books and comics. Basically, Mandalorians are people from the planet of Mandalor who specialise in bounty hunter work. Anybody can be a Mandalorian if they gain the respect of the Mandalorians and don their armour.
Not true; highly misleading. This show doesn't "assume" the viewer knows anything about Mandalorians. Whilst we may not be given chapter + verse on their enormous history, we are provided with sufficient information for the story to progress.
Wasn't bounty hunter work considered a disgrace back when the mandalorians were terrorizing the galaxy during the KOTOR time period? I remember Mandalore in KOTOR 2 saying when he was gathering his lost people that they had become ''lowly mercenaries''.
The first Mandalorians were originally an alien race of warriors and over many years many other species joined mostly humanoids and as you said were inducted into the culture. th-cam.com/video/awoqOq-n6CQ/w-d-xo.html
"Why does he end everything with 'I have spoken'...?" Same reason people end certain statements with "Case closed", "End of discussion", and "Because I said so", or even "So let it be written, so let it be done"... they no longer wish to be disputed on the matter, the decision has been made, it is final, it is time to shut one's pie-hole and not push their luck... :-)
@Jamie Pritchard That could be. May just be the character's little idosyncrasy, like how Yoda speaks in that rearranged syntax, lol. I guess I just went for the more "commanding" option cos he seems like a character who has seen a lot of shit and has no time for any more shit, so he just cuts right to it, like, "I've laid down the law, and I'll take no lip from you - gimme any crap and I'll sic my walking piranhas on you", lol.
Yess. I've been looking forward to this. Some more context: The Mandalorians are an age old tribe of warriors that have even waged war against the Jedi at some point way in the past (there are no movies or series about that war, it's just mentioned and referenced). The "first" and most famous Mandalorian to appear in the movies was Boba Fett, though George Lucas later clarified that both him and his father Jango aren't _proper_ Mandos for some reason and have merely appropriated the culture. Whatever lol. You learn more about them and their home planet Mandalore during The Clone Wars TV series. Lots of things go down there. Nowadays they're in hiding, that's why they're underground. The series mentions what caused that. Even though Jango, Boba and our new Mando friend are all bounty hunters, not every Mandalorian has that profession. They're just warriors so that's why bounty hunting is up their alley. "The guild" is an autonomous bounty hunter guild and has nothing to do with the Mandalorian tribe aside from the fact that our specific Mando works there. It's perfectly fine to call it Baby Yoda as long as you're aware that that's not to be taken literally (which you already are :D) since Yoda is already dead at that point. Rip, green friend. 99% of the people call it Baby Yoda anyway so nothing wrong with joining them. The official name is simply "the child". It's an infant of Yoda's species but since said species has no official name they simply settled for "the child" haha. I'm pumped for Episode 2, keep it up ^^.
The Mandalorians are a clan/group of people who follow a creed. There are many other houses/clans of Mandalorians who DO take off their helmets. This specific Mandalorian follows different customs than what we have seen in other Star Wars titles.
You got me again with what you said after the episode started! "Wouldnt it be funny if he leaves his helmet on the entire time?" That had me in tears!! Loving the reactions! Keep up the good work Natalie!!
It's fun to watch these movies (and series) with you. I've grown up with them, and it brings me a lot of joy, seeing them through fresh eyes. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so excited you’re going to be reacting to The Mandalorian! 🙌🏼 I still call him Baby Yoda even after watching the entire series. 😂 Can’t wait for episode two!
Glad this won the poll. I love this show and just hope its success won't push too many tie-ins and known characters into Season 2 as it is great standing on its own. I remember some criticism about the music at the start of the series, but now it's like a character in it. It's amazing!
They bring out big cannon Her: whats that? Me With out missing a beat: Thats a E-Web, was a heavy reapeating Blaster manufactured by Blastech Industries It was one of the most powerful...... Why do I care about this stuff so much?
It doesn't really surprise me how much emotion they can convey even without showing his face because I've watched Red vs Blue. It's pretty old, older than TH-cam, and it was made by a group of friends playing Halo. The footage was filmed in game so it starts out rough and gets better as newer games came out and the same goes for the audio because they where just friends doing it for fun, not professionals, but the characters are _so_ good! They are super funny and I love the concept of just starting a custom game in a video game and giving a voice to the characters. Anyway, in Halo, the character you control in multiplayer all wear armor so you can't see their face but they have _so much_ personality anyway! I love that show.
You’re cool, EVERYONE calls The Child Baby Yoda. I’m certainly not going to give a hard time. Oh, there WILL be a second season, probably in October. FYI.
Sooooo happy you are watching this series... one its great but also i have seen it! i am totally waiting for the Baby Yoda living is best life meme moment... its really fantastic and honestly since you have watched 4-5-6 you are perfectly fine as you will follow everything.... sit back and enjoy a wonderful and brilliantly produced series... great guest stars, directors and a wonderful series which does the Star Wars universe justice! keep saying Baby Yoda! and thank you its been a while and i got super excited as i got to a few reveals! BTW the robot was Taika Waititi director of Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit, and What We do In the Shadows (which i HIGHLY recommend seeing!!!) overall a wonderful start! keep up the fantastic work!
Thank u soooooo much for starting this series I been wanting to watch it but no way too. Glad to be on this journey with everyone. Everyone please stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio and wash hands
Saw this in the feed and immediately thought "Oh, fuck yes." I think one of the absolute coolest thing about this series is that it was 100% filmed inside a single soundstage WITHOUT green screen. All the set backgrounds (indoor and outdoor) are rendered onto LED screens, adjusting in response to the position of the camera using the same technology used in computer games. Oh, and recommendation for another short series (assuming you haven't seen it already): Firefly. And for a slightly longer series: Dollhouse.
Mandalorian is his people group, but also his creed. They're originally from the planet Mandalore, though some are foundlings like the main character. Mandalorians are fierce fighters, mercenaries, and sometimes bounty hunters. Guilds were the medieval precursors to unions. They were organized by trade: the cobblers' guild, the bankers' guild, etc. He's a part of the bounty hunters' guild.
It says a lot about this series, how well it tells its stories, and how it handles Star Wars based on the fact you're not having to guess about too much. Right off the bat, she knew Mando had a tracker without being told and barely being shown.
GREAT REACTION NATALIE!! As with George Lucas being inspired with WW2 for "Star Wars" (77'), Jon Favreau was inspired by Spaghetti Westerns for "The Mandalorian", especially from "A Fistful of Dollars" (64'), "For a Few Dollars More" (65'), and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (66'). ^_^
I'm extremely happy to see you react to this. It's a very well done series. There is plenty of small and not so small detail stuff sprinkled throughout the series that you won't pick up on because it requires prior immersion in other Star Wars materials and lore but it won't detract from your enjoyment of the show. Just know that in a far future time on a rewatch, after you've got more Star Wars under your belt, you'll pick up on lots that went under your radar this watch through. Looking forward to your next vids. ☺ MTFBWY! ✌
Oh wow, what a surprise that you're watching The Mandalorian! Wonderful! And just for a point of reference...this series takes place, roughly, 5 years after the event in Return of the Jedi.
I love your hair! in regards to the series, my wife and I watched the entire season in two nights at my sister's house during quarantine... so fun! and it makes me want to visit Disneyland's 'Galaxy's Edge' even more... love your reactions!
Hey Natalie ! Little technician tip : you should put your mic on the other side of your shirt, so the micro aims for your mouth well. It will make your voice sound much better ;) You can even put it a bit closer to have better vibrations of your lower vocal chords. Overall, I discovered your channel yesterday, awesome reactions ! I can't wait to see all the reactions you'll do next ! :)
Great choice. This show is a lot of fun. For what it's worth, it seems to capture the essence of what the oldschool fans love about Star Wars in a way that a lot of the newer films don't.

@@victorperotti6651 I think they wanted him to take DNA from him, to clone force enabled clones.... like snoke.
@@victorperotti6651 Yeah. With all the clues we've been given, this does seem likely.
For a second I wondered if maybe Yoda had gone one step farther with the Force ghost thing and actually reincarnated himself, but the timing doesn't work, as the Child would already have been alive when Yoda died (also other reasons the theory didn't hold up, but might be spoilers so I'll shut up).
"Everytime I see an R2, I get excited." We all do. Welcome to the family!
“Is the guild like the union for Bounty Hunters?”
Basically, yeah. Never heard it put that way, but it’s an apt description.
"How crazy would it be if for this whole series he had that mask on?" 🤔 ...pretty crazy I guess 🤷♂️
She definitely knows like how could you even guess that lol
@watashi Oh no!! Are you saying that watching people watch things isn't as pure as I'd been led to believe it was?!?
How will I ever recover??? :O
watashi yea honestly this one definitely seemed to be a pretty fake reaction unfortunately.
SyrupIsWin I’m just that good...or maybe it’s cuz I blurt literally all my thoughts out while I watch 😂
@Natalie Gold I'll let you in on a little secret.................. I'VE DEFINITELY already seen these movies before 😮🤭 I COULD watch them by myself again.... Or I could turn on someone ELSE watching them and having A REACTION to them. Genuine or not. That's not to say I second the accusation of 'fakery' on your part......more just that I don't really care. Your reactions are good enough lol If they're fake then you're a pretty decent actress as well. That's all that means to me 🤔👍🧐
The "Awwwwwww" that Natalie lets out when she sees Baby Yoda is something millions of people did when they saw this for the first time. He embedded himself into our hearts from the very first second.
I am deeply impressed that you recognized Werner Herzog. Love watching your react vids. You´re so passionate about those Movies. Greetings from Hamburg (ger)
I love that even though you had seen Baby yoda in memes and stuff, you didn’t know the context and still got a genuine surprise at the reveal. Just imagine what it was like for us when it was new. The Internet lost its collective minds over Baby yoda. And you’re right, it’s not Baby yoda. But that’s what most people call “The Child”
DRockeh Yeah I’m thankful that I watched it on the day or release which was also the launch of Disney Plus, it was a genuine surprise not marred by the appearance of the toy in the stores. We had the best experience not even knowing OF The Child prior to that scene.
The music and cinematography in this show are on another level.
Especially the music! It really gives you western vibes - but also sounds eerie. Perfect for this kind of story.
Something excellent after every episode is seeing the production art. It’s all so amazing to see how they envisioned things and then how they turned out.
I hope they keep doing that for season 2.
Great you're doing this series, Nat.
It's seriously the best thing to come out of Star Wars in 37 years (since VI).
It's astonishing how much emotion they convey through Mando when he's constantly masked, really proves how good the team behind this series was in comparison to.... recent Star Wars projects.
Thank GOD you’re watching this, I was hoping you would! Fastest click ever. This is the way.
It’s a phenomenal show
*I have spoken*
Same here :D
This is the way.
We have spoken.
You're gonna love the whole season! It's a great series thus far.
5 years after Return of the Jedi.
That means the child was born at the same time as Anakin.
Does that mean anything?
Maybe Yoda was having a relationship during the war. LoL
sometimes its hard to remembers its not Legends. but hate the fact that the empire fall apart so fast and easily on the canon, they are HUGE and have a lot of loyalists, how can they just disappear in a few years ?
6 years
@@danilooliveira6580 canon explanation I believe is that a lot of its unity came from Palpatine using the Force to sort of persuade and motivate them to work together, soon as he died it was every Moff for himself and it dissolved in a bunch of separate small domains.
Even without the Force shenanigans, there are real life examples of stuff like this happening. Alexander the Great's empire crumbled at record speed after his death. He was the one charismatic figure keeping it together, without him the succession wars ripped it to pieces. It doesn't help that empires on the scale of the galaxy must be really hard to centralise. Travel from one end of the Empire to the other takes weeks in Star Wars, months maybe, so it's a lot more like ancient empires than modern states. There would have to be a lot of autonomy for the peripheral territories. When Rome fell, too, most of its territories just kind of had to start fending for themselves.
So some general Mandalorian background info that can help understanding of the story. Mandalorians were a warrior race that once fought the Jedi, kinda space Spartans. They are known for their armor, jetpacks, and certain weaponry. They are considered very skilled warriors throughout the galaxy but at a certain point the mandalorian people as a whole discontinued the warrior culture in favor of more pacifist ideals. Some mandalorians didnt like that and continued the warriors way. One of the factions that did that was called Death Watch which is important for if you watch Clone Wars. Jango and Boba Fett wore Mandalorian armor. Whether or not the Fetts and by extention the Clone army were themselves Mandalorians is up for debate. Old Legends Canon they were, New Disney canon has yet to confirm anything.
Legends version is better in my opinion, currently reading the Republic Commando series and it's absolutely fantastic, a shame it's not finished though.
Isaiah Albers Mandalore the great was referenced by the Mandaloren smith along with the Mandaloren wars which Dave is a massive fan of the whole Knights of the old republic era of Star Wars
@@CaptainAmercia Cool. I haven't watched this show since it came out.
@@CaptainAmercia I really hope they just canonize the old republic stuff
2nd legend I personally don’t like the old republic designs (MMO) it’s very much over done in a lot of areas for example the Republic troopers and a lot of Sith armours there very World of Warcraft in that MMO art style. I adore the Knights of the old republic style throughout its great has that Star Wars retro look to it but also feels like it’s own thing Mandaloren Neo Crusaders are one of my favourite eras of Mandaloren armours the Republic ships and armours looks amazing and the Sith fleets and Armors are great along with the countless planets with their own cultural styles it all felts into Star Wars. But I do think the Mandaloren Season 2 may go into some old lore from The Mandalorens even in Clone Wars you could see a Neo Crusader Helmet from KOTOR
The Star Wars fans; Rogue One and The Clone Wars (TV)
The horror fans; The Thing (1982)
Me; Blade Runner, The Usual Suspects, and Dune would all be interesting
+1 for The Usual Suspects
Great list of movies and yes The Usual Suspects is a must.
Dune is a great call 👍🏼
Which version of Dune? The 80s movie of the 2000s miniseries?
@@firefly24601 The movie, theatrical if you havent read the books, extended if youve read the books and already seen the movie at least once
Awesome! :) ps : btw Rogue One is the missing piece of Jigsaw Puzzle from your past Star Wars PT and OT movie viewings
Everybody call him Baby Yoda.
Also:
12:00
And this was the moment that Natalie knew, her heart has a meltdown..
I ❤ that you immediately recognized Werner Herzog!
Glad you're watching this Natalie , great series & can't wait for season 2 . I have spoken . 👍✌️
Seeing this in my recommended list made my day, watching it was nearly as good. I hope nobody is going to spoil anything for you. I am excited for the reaction to the following episodes and the joy and excitement you are probably going to experience. Your reactions are among my favourites, especially because they have an even flow and are easy to watch. Btw, you are on point with your timeline, the setting is taking place after episode 6.
Everybody fell in love with the adorable baby Yoda. We still don’t know it’s name or species name, so you like everyone else just calls him Baby Yoda or The Child. You’re going to enjoy this series. There are like 5 different directors so you can really tell the difference in story styles when you watch each episode. Happy viewing! 🙂
Werner Herzog was such a random casting but he’s great in that role. Another fun cast member you may not have caught is the IG droid that he briefly teamed up with at the end is voiced by Taika Waititi. Taika also directed the season finale.
You won’t learn what a Mandalorian is in this series, as it makes the assumption you know what it is to begin with. It’s explained in the Clone Wars TV series or the non-canon expanded universe books and comics. Basically, Mandalorians are people from the planet of Mandalor who specialise in bounty hunter work. Anybody can be a Mandalorian if they gain the respect of the Mandalorians and don their armour.
Not true; highly misleading. This show doesn't "assume" the viewer knows anything about Mandalorians. Whilst we may not be given chapter + verse on their enormous history, we are provided with sufficient information for the story to progress.
Wasn't bounty hunter work considered a disgrace back when the mandalorians were terrorizing the galaxy during the KOTOR time period? I remember Mandalore in KOTOR 2 saying when he was gathering his lost people that they had become ''lowly mercenaries''.
The first Mandalorians were originally an alien race of warriors and over many years many other species joined mostly humanoids and as you said were inducted into the culture. th-cam.com/video/awoqOq-n6CQ/w-d-xo.html
"Imagine if he wore the helmet for the entire series"
Me: This is the way.
To be honest, The Mandalorian would be a really cool name for a ship. I might use that for something...
You built a time machine, out of a Mandalorian?
Why reuse the same exact name? Maybe it should just end with "-lorian"
naming ships after a demonym is actually a thing, so it makes a lot of sense as a name of a ship.
"Why does he end everything with 'I have spoken'...?"
Same reason people end certain statements with "Case closed", "End of discussion", and "Because I said so", or even "So let it be written, so let it be done"... they no longer wish to be disputed on the matter, the decision has been made, it is final, it is time to shut one's pie-hole and not push their luck... :-)
Dang, now I want pie.
@Jamie Pritchard That could be. May just be the character's little idosyncrasy, like how Yoda speaks in that rearranged syntax, lol.
I guess I just went for the more "commanding" option cos he seems like a character who has seen a lot of shit and has no time for any more shit, so he just cuts right to it, like, "I've laid down the law, and I'll take no lip from you - gimme any crap and I'll sic my walking piranhas on you", lol.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 LOL! Perhaps a moon-pie? That's no moon pie... it's a space station cake...
“It’s a ship?” I laughed way too hard lol. You’ll enjoy this series tho, it’s great. Enjoy man!😁🙌🏽
Yess. I've been looking forward to this.
Some more context:
The Mandalorians are an age old tribe of warriors that have even waged war against the Jedi at some point way in the past (there are no movies or series about that war, it's just mentioned and referenced).
The "first" and most famous Mandalorian to appear in the movies was Boba Fett, though George Lucas later clarified that both him and his father Jango aren't _proper_ Mandos for some reason and have merely appropriated the culture. Whatever lol.
You learn more about them and their home planet Mandalore during The Clone Wars TV series. Lots of things go down there.
Nowadays they're in hiding, that's why they're underground. The series mentions what caused that.
Even though Jango, Boba and our new Mando friend are all bounty hunters, not every Mandalorian has that profession. They're just warriors so that's why bounty hunting is up their alley.
"The guild" is an autonomous bounty hunter guild and has nothing to do with the Mandalorian tribe aside from the fact that our specific Mando works there.
It's perfectly fine to call it Baby Yoda as long as you're aware that that's not to be taken literally (which you already are :D) since Yoda is already dead at that point. Rip, green friend. 99% of the people call it Baby Yoda anyway so nothing wrong with joining them. The official name is simply "the child". It's an infant of Yoda's species but since said species has no official name they simply settled for "the child" haha.
I'm pumped for Episode 2, keep it up ^^.
The Mandalorian is an awesome series! Happy viewing! 👍👍
These videos are a genuine spark of joy in a dark time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Natalie: how crazy would it be if he had his helmet on for the whole series.
us: this is the way.....
I got so excited when I saw you’re doing this! One of the best shows I’ve ever watched, honestly.
My girlfriend gasped when she saw Baby Yoda and said, "I would die for you!!!" lol
I am beyond excited for this! I've seen it over 50 times and am working on building my Mandalorian armor kit! This is the way!
Best star wars in a long time. Another new series that kicks ass "The Boys"
The Mandalorians are a clan/group of people who follow a creed. There are many other houses/clans of Mandalorians who DO take off their helmets. This specific Mandalorian follows different customs than what we have seen in other Star Wars titles.
Who else thinks Natalie should also watch Firefly and Serenity?
YES
I am a 🍁 on the 💨
Jezzybella 😢
Damn, did she insult you personally or something?
You got me again with what you said after the episode started! "Wouldnt it be funny if he leaves his helmet on the entire time?" That had me in tears!! Loving the reactions! Keep up the good work Natalie!!
Rogue One Reaction please!! 😊😊
Yes. This. Second vote for this.
It's fun to watch these movies (and series) with you. I've grown up with them, and it brings me a lot of joy, seeing them through fresh eyes. Thanks for sharing!
I guarantee when you and your partner go food shopping and you want to buy something and he doesnt, it will come out, "I have spoken"
I’m so excited you’re going to be reacting to The Mandalorian! 🙌🏼 I still call him Baby Yoda even after watching the entire series. 😂 Can’t wait for episode two!
You’re gonna swear a lot, during the later episodes.... pretty sure of that. ;)
and cry. She might want to put the mic away and switch to the other one lol.
This is the way
"I bet it somebody that knows the force" I was impressed you called that ! Good job Nat
Ooh more Natalie on Star Wars, yep this is what brought me here.
Glad this won the poll. I love this show and just hope its success won't push too many tie-ins and known characters into Season 2 as it is great standing on its own.
I remember some criticism about the music at the start of the series, but now it's like a character in it. It's amazing!
They bring out big cannon
Her: whats that?
Me With out missing a beat: Thats a E-Web, was a heavy reapeating Blaster manufactured by Blastech Industries It was one of the most powerful...... Why do I care about this stuff so much?
Did you also feel physical pain when Disney erased the EU too?
@@KEVMAN7987 I felt a great disturbance in the Force..As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
I really am going to enjoy your reactions to this entire series. Your job is not over yet, you still have the entire clone wars to get through!
Natalie: how crazy would it be for the whole series he had that helmet on?
Me: well...........................
Yes! I'm excited to go through Mandalorian again.
I'd love to see a reaction to The Clone Wars tv series at some point
Jango Fett and Boba Fett were both Mandalorians as well. Glad you're watching this series, keep it up Nat!
🤣❤️ with respect and not be mean:
"I want to say it's a ship?"....
Mando: "it's a creed." This is the way.
It doesn't really surprise me how much emotion they can convey even without showing his face because I've watched Red vs Blue. It's pretty old, older than TH-cam, and it was made by a group of friends playing Halo. The footage was filmed in game so it starts out rough and gets better as newer games came out and the same goes for the audio because they where just friends doing it for fun, not professionals, but the characters are _so_ good! They are super funny and I love the concept of just starting a custom game in a video game and giving a voice to the characters. Anyway, in Halo, the character you control in multiplayer all wear armor so you can't see their face but they have _so much_ personality anyway! I love that show.
After you finish the Mandalorian, I hope you watch Rogue One!
You’re doing a great job. It’s so relaxing listening to you give your thoughts and opinions. You’re golden, girl! Golden!
You should watch the series "Firefly" next. Space western bounty hunting done RIGHT! Become a Browncoat and give it a watch!
Holy moly, yes yes yes
Far
Only a masochistic idiot would watch firefly...
@@diegokaqui60 Elaborate, plz?
@@diegokaqui60 In as much as it hurts to get to the end knowing it was murdered to death by Fox, sure.
I don't know why I enjoy watching your reactions so much but they just make me so happy to see you enjoy great works of art :)
You’re cool, EVERYONE calls The Child Baby Yoda. I’m certainly not going to give a hard time. Oh, there WILL be a second season, probably in October. FYI.
Not only did he have his helmet on for the entire series, he even kept his helmet on for the cast photo. Amazing!
Natalie: "Can you imagine if everyone shot like this droid?"
Me: "Christian Bale, Equilibrium....."
;)
Sooooo happy you are watching this series... one its great but also i have seen it!
i am totally waiting for the Baby Yoda living is best life meme moment... its really fantastic and honestly since you have watched 4-5-6 you are perfectly fine as you will follow everything....
sit back and enjoy a wonderful and brilliantly produced series... great guest stars, directors and a wonderful series which does the Star Wars universe justice!
keep saying Baby Yoda! and thank you its been a while and i got super excited as i got to a few reveals!
BTW the robot was Taika Waititi director of Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit, and What We do In the Shadows (which i HIGHLY recommend seeing!!!)
overall a wonderful start! keep up the fantastic work!
Mandalorian is a religion...this is the way.
*Its a Creed
This is a great little show, From start to end, top notch. I even would watch the "concept art" at the end of each episode.
Everyone calls him Baby Yoda, though we all know better.
I've binged almost all your videos since youtube recommended me your reaction to ANH. You're so nice and genuine, I'm glad I found your channel!
Well, actually Yoda species was never give a name so everyone calls him Baby Yoda anyway.
The unofficial name used in some circles is Tridactyls. Because they have three fingers
@@matthewkreps3352 This species name is the best way to have no one use it XD
"Baby tridactyl" or "Baby Yoda", the choice was made fast.
Thank u soooooo much for starting this series I been wanting to watch it but no way too. Glad to be on this journey with everyone. Everyone please stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio and wash hands
I should’ve been in this show. I have a force ghost for a reason
Revert that ghost back to the better actor that played your older self and we'll talk.
You should've been in the sequels too
As long as your force ghost isn't Sebastian Shaw you don't get a say!
Rasmus Jørgensen
This is outrageous! It’s unfair!
Saw this in the feed and immediately thought "Oh, fuck yes." I think one of the absolute coolest thing about this series is that it was 100% filmed inside a single soundstage WITHOUT green screen. All the set backgrounds (indoor and outdoor) are rendered onto LED screens, adjusting in response to the position of the camera using the same technology used in computer games.
Oh, and recommendation for another short series (assuming you haven't seen it already): Firefly. And for a slightly longer series: Dollhouse.
No one can resist the force... of Baby Yoda's cuteness.
Mandalorian is his people group, but also his creed. They're originally from the planet Mandalore, though some are foundlings like the main character. Mandalorians are fierce fighters, mercenaries, and sometimes bounty hunters.
Guilds were the medieval precursors to unions. They were organized by trade: the cobblers' guild, the bankers' guild, etc. He's a part of the bounty hunters' guild.
This is the way! I found your channel through your Star Wars reactions and basically re watched the two trilogies and LOTR through your lens.
It says a lot about this series, how well it tells its stories, and how it handles Star Wars based on the fact you're not having to guess about too much. Right off the bat, she knew Mando had a tracker without being told and barely being shown.
GREAT REACTION NATALIE!! As with George Lucas being inspired with WW2 for "Star Wars" (77'), Jon Favreau was inspired by Spaghetti Westerns for "The Mandalorian", especially from "A Fistful of Dollars" (64'), "For a Few Dollars More" (65'), and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (66'). ^_^
Natalie, your personality is infectious. It's fun to watch these with you. If you're not careful, the nerds will make you their queen.
I'm extremely happy to see you react to this. It's a very well done series. There is plenty of small and not so small detail stuff sprinkled throughout the series that you won't pick up on because it requires prior immersion in other Star Wars materials and lore but it won't detract from your enjoyment of the show. Just know that in a far future time on a rewatch, after you've got more Star Wars under your belt, you'll pick up on lots that went under your radar this watch through.
Looking forward to your next vids. ☺
MTFBWY! ✌
Oh wow, what a surprise that you're watching The Mandalorian! Wonderful! And just for a point of reference...this series takes place, roughly, 5 years after the event in Return of the Jedi.
I love your hair! in regards to the series, my wife and I watched the entire season in two nights at my sister's house during quarantine... so fun! and it makes me want to visit Disneyland's 'Galaxy's Edge' even more... love your reactions!
Been bingeing your videos Natalie and i love them! I don't normally watch reaction videos but yours are the best, especially Star Wars! Keep it up!
Hey Natalie !
Little technician tip : you should put your mic on the other side of your shirt, so the micro aims for your mouth well. It will make your voice sound much better ;)
You can even put it a bit closer to have better vibrations of your lower vocal chords.
Overall, I discovered your channel yesterday, awesome reactions !
I can't wait to see all the reactions you'll do next ! :)
Great choice. This show is a lot of fun. For what it's worth, it seems to capture the essence of what the oldschool fans love about Star Wars in a way that a lot of the newer films don't.
Ok, you hit one out of four of my favorite series... and you really have to know what the Mandalorians are... remember Jango and his son Boba Fett?...
Very glad the series is continuing. You have a pleasant personality that makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.
You are going to love the series. Thanks for sharing with us.
So glad you are reacting to this series! It’s great and they are only 30 minutes (+/-). Season 2 has been greenlit, too!
