Mike and Rich Evans sit down to talk about a new Star War. It's The Mandalorian aka The Boba Fett show!

I've been looking forward to this

Mike St Louis

Very cool. Been curious about the Mandolin and baby groot.

Re: Carbon Freezing. Since this takes place after Return of the Jedi, is it possible that after the Empire found out it was viable for bounty transport in ESB, it became more popular to transport bounties that way? Tech got better. It became all the rage. Portable enough to put in ships... That’s how I equate it.

Kinda surprised you guys didn't have major problems with baby yoda. What made yoda cool in the OT was that he was just a little guy that you would never expect to be a jedi master. He wasn't a jedi master because he belonged to a race of aliens that got 100+ force affinity or whatever.

I was glad you guys didn't talk shit about baby yoda. When I heard about the show I was completely disinterested. Bored by too much Star Wars these last few years, but then I saw baby yoda and he was super cute and, I just wanted to see more of him (only semi embarrassing to admit)...then I just kept watching because the show is great! An episode or two dragged, but the last two brought it back for me.

I haven't seen the series yet because I've been quite sick of Star Wars and all the Baby Yoda memes. However, I think I'll give it a shot in the future after listening to Rich talk about it here. That he really enjoyed it when he has been so tired of all things Star Wars for so long tells me it must have some merits.

I too immediately thought Amy Sedaris was playing Old Lady Ripley dress up.

Sean Wickett

What sold me on it was the small scale story. Plus Favreau is just better than Abrams on every level.

TJ Kelly

Someone explain the Richard Gere thing to me....

SHAGGAR!

The music is really good which is also refreshing. Its not just more john williams

Steve Can Still Believe

Interesting how you like the episode with Bill Burr. Everyone I talked to about it wasn't into it much.

I am a bit concerned that this show peaked with the AT-ST episode, which just gave me the best nostalgia to 90s Star *Trek* I have had in 20 years and made for great on-scene character development of Mando that we actually see and get to learn the subtitles of his character. I was really hoping for more of that kind of star hopping from that episode but it then seemed to take some different turns. One big issue for me were the finale episodes, which frankly felt rushed, a bit difficult to follow, and in the end pointless. I actually liked them being rushed, in keeping all the juicy fan stuff OUT of the rest of the series, but I still have no idea why Mando went back to that planet to an obvious trap so easily as his situation on-screen didn't seem so untenable, like an episode was missing. The ending just replaces interesting real-world feeling Nazi doctor villain with less interesting but more action figure like Nazi Samurai Man with the first implausible survival incident of the series. At least Nazi Samurai Man is a good actor.

We've been so broken down by 20 years of terrible Star Wars movies that a semi-competent but ultimately pointless and forgettable show looks amazing by comparison. Like come on, the main bad guy shows up at the end of the second to last episode? And they just tell us he's bad and put him in a TIE fighter to prove it? Weak.

David Perek

Also, did RLM go through this re:View without mentioning practical special effects? That seemed to be something that really struck out about this series, perhaps even to extreme, and may have led to its 90s TV feel.

Prediction: the dozen AVATAR sequels nobody asked for will get re-edited/repurposed into a Disney+ TV series

Jostein Kjønigsen

Am I the only pedant/nerd who feel bothered that this was in fact not a re:View, this was a -review-! Man RLM is completely twisting the genres these days!

Matt P

I think Mike is probably right about Boba Fett showing up - didn't the epilogue of the Tatooine episode show a mysterious figure approaching the assassin's body? I don't think that was further explained unless I'm forgetting something

Rachel H

That Sex and the City reference made me do a spit take, pun intended.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LydiaHyde

That Richard Gere joke... I laughed harder than Rich Evans.

Jessica & Mark Stadul

I want to watch this but I am afraid Mike will say I am dumb for liking Baby Yoda.
