What a weird schedule.  Just pick a day of the week and be done with it...

I get launching with 2 episodes in a single week.  Come out of the gate strong!

Week 7 is being released on December 18th very deliberately, because Friday December 20th is the date that THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is released.  It seems pretty obvious to me that Disney and Lucasfilm would not want the two releases competing with one another.

I've been hearing a few different terms used for the Mandalorian's bounty at the end of Chapter One.  Some are calling it "The Asset".  And another funny acronym is T.I.N.Y. for This Is Not Yoda, LOL!

Seems logical to me. Whole thing launches Tuesday. Of course you want Mandalorian immediately. Then Friday is your day. And one other episode you don't want to compete with yourself.

I still don't think I've not had a grin on my face through three episodes. I was sure he'd just bail on the client and never bring Yoddler in. "The Sin". I love he handed over the asset. But then let the inner struggle win out.

What an awesome episode.

That fight at the end.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

The thing with the lever knob was brilliant.

Pretty sure Favreau played the Heavy Infantry Mando.

So great, wow. Just loving this show. We were watching this week’s and toward the end my wife said “oh no, it’s going to be over isn’t it?” :) I know we talk about it all the time here, but man this would make a great toyline (especially at 3 3/4”). Characters (hunters/Mandos/etc), vehicles, beasts....wish we could get more. This week’s battle scene alone was a treasure trove.

Looks like he's played by Tait Fletcher

Tait Fletcher definitely played the thug who was speaking Huttese to the Mandalorian in the first scene of chapter one.  But the voice of the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian was almost certainly Jon Favreau.

Yeah, another super good episode. I think I enjoyed the whole extraction of the asset segment as much as the final shootout. I mean, the Whispering Birds?! That was badass!

Really cool seeing the Separatist Droid Gunship and Super Battle Droids in action during the flashback scenes. Those things seemed way more menacing than portrayed in the cartoons.

Also really liked the scenes in the Mandalorian lair. The whole bit about removing the helmet especially was interesting. How does he eat??

Agreed.  My kids and I both loved it.  Little things like that really add to the action heavy episode.

I would buy a figure of every single variation of Mandalorian we've seen so far. The regular one we already have, New Shoulder Pad, Muddy, and full Beskar armor
