Don’t remind me of my sarcastic anger at the Christmas special not being included in Disney+

Not just sci-fi and fantasy, but a huge swathe of 80s/90s tv shows. Everything from the A-Team to Quantum Leap...

I loved the waitress. He's trying to bribe her and she thinks she's getting a nice tip. He landed on the planet Wisconsin and didn't know it. 

The “heroes help a village learn to protect themselves from bandits” is an old trope for sci-fi and fantasy TV shows. Complete with the training montage. But it worked well here.

Yeah this episode was weak.... Felt like one of those half assed SciFi shows that pop up every year that get cancelled after 2 seasons.  Im a little worried

Those Yodas/Yaddles sure like their frogs...

“although he was raised Mandalorian, he may not actually be a Mandalorian” worth noting that while mandalore may be a place and have a people, but it may not be a race. in the old canon mandaloreans were anyone who took up and earned their place in mandalorian society. they actually started as a mercenary group which…

That lasts all of 60 seconds. A group of nasty looking, dog-faced Klatoonian raiders quickly storm into the peaceful village, shooting blasters, raising hell, and stealing the Sorgan’s food.

That’s the way I understand it too. It seems he’s not a true Mandalorian, but someone the Mandalorians took in when his parents were killed.

However, for a duo trying to lay low and stay under the radar, a Mandalorian in bright silver beskar armor, walking with an unusual looking tiny alien, are about as conspicuous as possible.

Those dog like aliens were reminding me of something but I couldn’t quite pin it down, but then it hit me. ICE T’s character in the Tank Girl movie.

To answer your question whether the shows protagonist is an actual Mandalorian or an outsider is kind of irrelevant as anyone brought up in the way are considered true mandalorians regardless of having any blood ties or not.

So cool!

“At the end of the episode, Omera and Mando keep referring to Baby Yoda as “He.” So, we guess that question is settled.”
