InfestedKerrigan Posted November 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 And at 50 years old, 5 years ABE, that's 9 years ABY. 41 years old BY. Puts it same age as Anakin, and not likely to be Yoda and Yaddle's child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 That’s a funny way to spell Lone Wolf and Cub... I mean, Star Wars was literally built on a foundation of “serial numbers filed off” remakes of chanbara cinema... So why not go back to that well? For those unfamiliar with it, Lone Wolf and Cub was a hugely influential manga that ran from 1970 through 1976. It was also adapted into six feature films and a television series. The first couple of films were hacked together, Robotech-style, into the American flick Shogun Assassin in 1980. (Which would, in turn, be sampled extensively by the Wu-Tang Clan.) Ogami Itto was the shogun’s executioner. He’s betrayed by the shogun’s rivals and has to go on the run before the evil ninja can kill him too. The twist on the typical “ronin on a roaring rampage of revenge” formula is that he has to bring along his three-year old son. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I haven't read LWaC since high school. Honestly, forgot about it until I saw the cover. El Topo is from that same time frame, isn't it? There must have been something going around common in the collective thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 El Topo came out in 1970... But I think it’s safe to safe that Jodorowsky operates in his own alternate universe that only occasionally overlaps with our own. But the 1970s was also the same time when Sam Peckinpah was at his height, not to mention guys like Roger Corman, De Palma, Casavetes, Lynch... The whole “New Hollywood” movement that critics of the time loathed. I chalk it up to the Baby Boomers coming of age. The end of the post-WWII idylls, the meat-grinders of Korea and Vietnam, stagnation in the European economy, and so forth... But mostly just 20-something film makers wanting to shock and offend their parents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Forgive my ignorance. Is ALL of Mando out? Or are they slowly releasing the series so that you must keep paying long months just to get all episodes of the season? How many seasons are there?

InfestedKerrigan Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 They are releasing Episodic, not in a block. They have aired 2 episodes, so far. I think the season is supposed to be fully aired by New Years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad as streaming services go... Or free for a year right now if you’re with Verizon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 FWIW, IMDB indicates there'll be a Season 02 -- which is a good thing, if they can keep up the quality. I'm loving it... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Thank you @Ish & @InfestedKerrigan! I appreciate it... we're unsure if we want to or not. We have Netflix and rarely use it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Once they get their crap together, I think they are worth getting. They have quite an extensive catalog, but they also have poor security, at the moment. I watch more hulu than Netflix. I watch newer shows on other streaming sites. I'll pay for D+ as soon as they get their act together. It is suffering from first gen launch issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Of course Mandalorian was Disney's first. The action figure sales from this is going to be through the roof. The commandos, especially. Bro with the gatling gun and jump pack looks WAY better than the primaris version. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Could be Yaddle's baby. She could have felt the darkness coming and left with her child, only to be captured at some point in the subsequent 40 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is already a Star Wars Black series of this figure, and Hot Toys has announced they are making the "Heavy Infantry" model as well.. I can only imagine the rubbing of hands together greedily at the idea of the merchandising storm that "Baby Yoda" will create... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
