Episode 10
The second episode of "The Mandalorian" ushered in the biggest tribute, but it is true whether it is a tribute to the Eight Precepts or the Drifting. The style is blooming (just kidding).
Sure enough, as in the previous issue, "The Mandalorian" may stretch the front line very long. This episode of "Passenger" is titled as a female frog empress. It’s fine if there is no connection between the giant pits, and there is no substantial interaction with the pits of the previous episode. After Manda got Boba Fett's armor, he was stopped by a group of looters to eat shit, and the car was scrapped. Here I guess it is a band of robbers who temporarily joined forces, because one of them clearly instructed Baby Yoda, but when they were beaten to the ground, the scavengers who hijacked Baby Yoda also appeared in "Star Wars 7". After such scavengers, he obviously didn’t know the importance of Baby Yoda, he only valued the immediate benefits, and he was lost to the sky.
It is worth noting here that before Baby Yoda would use Force to ward off danger whenever he encountered threats, but now that he is stuck in his neck with a knife, he is indifferent. For this reason, I have an insight that Baby Yoda is actually very smart, he can perceive what is the real danger, maybe this is also due to his own force perception, so in this episode, when they encounter a group of frozen spiders, Baby Yoda did not use the Force either, because he might have sensed that the X-type fighter was on his way.
Even to say, maybe in which episode, Baby Yoda speaks directly, don't be surprised, because he may have pretended before, after all, he is 50 years old. But these are all insights, I'm so happy, let's just listen to it.
After Manda without the speed car, "you challenge the burden, I don't know who is leading the horse" to the Chalmoon bar. The female owner of the repair shop is gambling with Doctor Jaw. Doctor Jaw does not have an accurate race, but it looks like the Killik in the Star Wars universe. This insect race is like a mixture of ants, praying mantis, and wasps.
The appearance of Doctor Jaw is closely related to the director of this episode, Peyton Reed, because he is the director of the "Ant-Man" series, so the appearance of Doctor Jaw resembles an ant.
After they returned to the repair shop, the use of engines for barbecues was also the hallmark of the Star Wars series. It appeared in "New Hope". In Disney's newly built Star Wars park area, the center decoration of the dining area also uses the engine barbecue as the main design.
By the way, did the robot responsible for the barbecue remind you of the robot Wali? It also appeared in "New Hope".
When Manda accepted to help the female frog empress to find her husband, he mentioned that the hyperspace drive cannot be used. The hyperspace drive means that the spacecraft traverses the extra-dimensional space between the voids after reaching the speed of light, thereby reducing the time of arrival. The visual effect of driving a spaceship meteor shower in Star Wars is the use of a hyperspace drive, which cannot be used here because it will cause the death of the female frog woman’s egg.
After they embark on a journey, Manda helps the female frog empress find her husband, and her husband will tell the other Mandalorians whereabouts. During this period, Baby Yoda began to hang three feet from the eggs of the female frog and mother-in-law, and then always steal food when people are not paying attention.
This actually corresponds to Yoda's first appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back", and it was also Luke's bento to eat. It seems that Yoda is a very greedy race. And have you noticed that the female frog empress is a species of frog, and the place where Yoda lived in seclusion in "The Empire Strikes Back" was also a wet swamp, and the environment in which the frog species lived was very similar.
So maybe the queen's egg is actually the staple food and heart of species like Yoda. The size of the frog's egg is exactly the size that the baby can hold in the palm of the baby. This ecological chain is also too perfect.
In addition, in the last season, didn't Baby Yoda also ate a frog? In this episode, he also ate the eggs of a spider. Does this all show that the environment in which the Yoda race lives is similar to such a humid and dark place.
On the way to the destination, Manda accidentally ran into two cruising X-type fighters. In order to avoid Cha Gang, Manda had the most famous line in the Star Wars universe.
It just so happens that the baby Yoda next to Manda does have the strongest force (or ability to control the force), and the force is really the same as Manda all the time. However, Manda was not so lucky. It was found in Episode 6 that there was a prisoner spacecraft that had hijacked the New Republic Army. After that, Manda drove to the planet Markel Kress, which was also the place where Manda in the first episode of the Mandalorian went to catch prey. At that time, Manda encountered a sea monster under the ice, and this time he encountered a frozen spider. It is estimated that Manda could not love this planet.
When Manda escaped the X-type fighter and went down to the Glacier Canyon, the first thing that reminded me was the chase scene of Jaku in "Star Wars 7". Of course, the most original one should be Luke's death star in "New Hope". Chasing scenes.
As a result, even though Manda escaped the pursuit, he fell into an ice hole. The spacecraft was smashed to a halt. Manda basically gave up, thinking about sleeping and going to the city tomorrow to find a solution. Soon, the female frog empress black. Before entering the ant robot voice system, using Mandalorian to speak out the must-have spiritual stimulus, Manda was forced to immediately repair the spacecraft. Then the female frog empress comforted herself and ran to the distant hot spring to take a bath, where they found the nest of the alien queen, and swarms of face-carrying bugs were about to emerge... The alien series once again went from Revenge 3 to the Mandalorian.
This frozen spider is based on the conceptual art painting of conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie.
In the end, seeing that they were about to be destroyed by the Frozen Spiders, the X-type fighter returned to rescue them. It is estimated that the new Republican Army discovered them because of a few bombs just released by Manda. After some explanations, Manda, who was about to be arrested, was charged with detaining three more valuable wanted criminals at the time. Well, this can be regarded as showing the more tolerant side of the New Republican Army, and specific analysis of specific issues, but in fact it also reveals weakly that the easy-going policies and judgment methods of the New Republican Army may be the breeding of the first order in the future. Hotbed.
After that, Manda reluctantly repaired the spacecraft, and drove this broken copper and iron mission to deliver the Buddha to the west, and continue to the planet where the female frog empress is her husband. As we can see in the trailer of "The Mandalorian", they will go to a pier, the female frog empress finally finds her husband, and Manda is also nearby.
And there is a new female character at the dock, who is curious about the arrival of Manda.
After that, the picture shows the ship sailing on the bumpy sea, so they should have an adventure at sea. It is estimated that some new species of big sea monsters will appear at that time. If this is the case, then the third episode of the second season is probably also an episode of paddling, and it is true.
Episode 9
The second season of "The Mandalorian" is still very sincere. The first episode of the first episode is 50 minutes. It feels that the audience has earned it. After all, the average episode of the first season is only a pitiful half an hour. The episode lasts for 45-50 minutes, which is just a game of hunger marketing.
Let’s talk about perception first, emmm, Disney is too "bad" (playable). Before, the official said that the first episode of the second season was called "the search". As a result, the first episode of the second season was not called the first episode of the second season. It was called episode 9, and the title was changed to "The Marshal", meaning the sheriff. This is also the story of this episode with a small town guarded by the sheriff.
I like the feeling of slapped face. When I analyzed the first season of "The Mandalorian" I just finished, I said that the second season will closely follow the pits dug at the end of the first season. People don’t , Put the ending pit aside and let the protagonist continue his adventure, and then dig a bigger pit. It can be felt that "The Mandalorian" deliberately tried to stretch the front (the number of episodes) very long, not easily exhausting the strongest and most attractive suspense points at once, but followed the western road adventure type of the first season. The audience followed Manda to complete challenging tasks again and again.
Of course, in the process of Manda’s mission, the series relied on the popularity of the various details of the Star Wars universe to enrich and perfect the world of this distant galaxy. It can be said that Star Wars has made the Mandalorian. In details, the Mandalorian also enriched the world of Star Wars. Because of this, as a fan of Star Wars, I watched the second season of "The Mandalorian" and I was very happy. I can sell my feelings in a few minutes, and I can give you a wtf in the next scene.
But if you are not a fan of Star Wars, I must tell you all that the threshold of the second season of "The Mandalorian" has become higher, and the fans may become more and more serious in the future. If there are no stars and events, War knowledge endorsement, just relying on a space western cowboy setting, judging from the beginning of the second season of "The Mandalorian", it is actually not as amazing as the first season. The opening "The Marshal" (Sheriff) can be seen from the title that the series still adheres to the characteristics of the western film type. A gunman from afar solves the troubles of the town and restores the town’s peace. This kind of structure is not uncommon in western films.
I don't know how attractive the story design of this type of sudden missions can continue, because there have been several episodes in the first season, and the story weaving has been played, and the freshness has been halved for me. Frankly speaking, if I'm not a fan of Star Wars, I might not be very cold about such a "Western Story Setting". Although it is classic, it is also somewhat...a little outdated. What's more, the suspenseful "time bomb" at the end of the first season has been installed, which shows the importance of the opening side story of the second season is not very strong, except for the appearance of key characters at the end.
But no matter what, of course I will continue to chase "The Mandalorian" or any Star Wars film and television works. There is no way I have been in the pit for many years, but I still need to point out where I should go to comment.
Next, let's analyze the content of the first episode of the second season of "The Mandalorian" in depth, and see how much material we can dig out.
The opening chapter of the second season is another full enjoyment for Star Wars fans. There are so many colorful eggs, and this is really the result of the constant dream linkage between the creator and the Star Wars fans. Just a simple example. Manda went to a small town at night. The graffiti on the wall of the town is the creation of artist David Zhou, who is also a Star Wars fan and has a cameo in this episode.
And just this graffiti wall, there are four or five easter eggs, so we are not here today to dig these little easter eggs, we still have to analyze some easter eggs related to the plot. Manda then went to the fight club to find the Earth Snake and wanted him to tell the whereabouts of the other Mandalorians, but the Earth Snake had actually hung three feet on Manda’s armor. After solving the problem with force, Manda got the planet address. , Tatooine.
I've been there once during Manda's ship repair last season. Tatooine is also the place where the Star Wars story begins. This episode is more straightforward and naked. Everything is so familiar regardless of the scene, props, twin suns, etc. After Manda went to Tatooine, he found the aunt of the repair shop to store the spacecraft for maintenance. Among them, the R5D4 of the aunt is the scrapped robot from "Star Wars 4: New Hope", and it burned the short-circuited part. it's the same.
After that, Manda found Mospelgue. The language of the lens of Manda riding a plane and traveling slowly into the town was really no different from an Italian Western movie. Also at the bar, Manda quickly met the Mandalorian's "armor". When I saw this Boba Feitmandalor armor, I believe it should cause some commotion among Star Wars fans (more on this later)
However, the person wearing this armor is actually the sheriff of the local town. The sheriff’s hospitality is still good. He took Spockka to entertain Manda. The friends who watched the last season should be interested in this blue drink. No stranger, it was made from the blue shrimp in the village rescued by Manda at that time.
This Spockka came to be associated with the previous season, and at the same time it reminds people of the blue milk that Luke drank in "Star Wars 4", which was the milk of Sandman Mount Bantha.
In the play, the information about the crash of the second death star in "Star Wars 6" is linked. After the empire collapsed, the town was soon controlled by people from the nearby mining group. The sheriff flees with a box of crystals and is trapped halfway. When the Jawa was rescued, he exchanged the crystal for the Mandalorian armor, and then used force to drive away the people from the mining group.
If you are not a Mandalorian, you are not eligible to wear Mandalorian armor. What's more, the act of removing the helmet by the sheriff makes Manda intolerable. He asked the sheriff to return the armor to him, but the sheriff also requested Mandalor helped the town to get rid of a major critical Cretron.
Cretron actually appeared in its skeleton in "Star Wars 4: A New Hope" when C3PO crossed the sand sea. There have been several species of Creterosaurus evolved, such as canyon dragons. These are very cruel creatures. In the episode, the large Creterosaurus lives in endless sand dunes and can travel freely in the quicksand of the desert. , But the big cretron dragon in the play also has the habit of the canyon dragon, and it can also be blasted out in the canyon. Of course, this is the priority for the spectacular scene.
To trace giant creatures like Cretron, it must be the sandworm of "Dune". In fact, many of the inspirations for "Star Wars" are indeed from the novel "Dune".
It is also because Creterosaurus is in the sand dunes all year round, and it has a gizzard in its belly to help digestion of food. The sand and stones will precipitate into pearls over the years, which feels like pearls produced by shells. This is also shown in the play. At the end, people found pearls in Cretron's belly.
When Manda and the sheriff went to deal with Kraetron, the speeding car the sheriff drove was also linked to those racing cars during the Anakin race in "Star Wars 1". In short, many of these detailed eggs were right.
Later, they met Sand Man, a native of Tatooine, and appeared many times in Star Wars works. Here you can see that the details of Star Wars are powerful, and a character setting extends the life of a character group. Habits, personality traits, ways of talking, etc., instead of just spending time on styling.
Thanks to the efforts of Manda and the sheriff, the sand people and the residents of the town temporarily united to fight against Cleitron. When Manda and the sheriff formed a team to attack, they did not forget to pay tribute to the old version of the action scene.
Finally, after killing the Kretron, the sheriff returned the armor, and Manda took the armor to gallop in the Tatooine Desert, and Boba Fett in the distance watched all this. Then let's talk about the biggest melon in the first episode of the second season, Boba Fett.
In fact, this is not the first time he has appeared. In the last season, when Manda and the novice teamed up to arrest people in Tatooine, Boba Fett shot through the lower half of his body. The sound of the shoes and the spurs revealed that it was him. This also shows that The female may have another drama next.
Boba Fett’s adoptive father was Jango Fett. Jango Fett was adopted by the Mandalorian when he was a teenager. Although Boba is a clone of Jango, I think this is the same as Jango’s adoption of Boba as an adopted son. There is no contradiction. In "Star Wars 2", it is obvious that they have a father-son relationship. Even if Boba is a clone of Jango, if they do not adopt each other as father and son, then their relationship is cloned and cloned. The relationship is right.
So whether he is a Mandalorian who is rooted in the red, the fans inside and outside the scene are very lively, we can’t conclude, anyway, Jango Fett is in "Star Wars 2: Attack of the Clones". , Forced to sell his DNA to the cloning factory due to his livelihood, so there was a clone army. At that time, Jango Fett adopted the childhood Boba Fett. Later, after Jango was beheaded by Du Windu, Boba Fett inherited the mantle, holding Jango's Mandalorian armor, and renewed Painted on and turned into his own outfit.
From then on, Boba Fett also became a bounty hunter. He was hired by the Imperial Army to deal with Han Solo and Luke in "Star Wars 5: The Empire Strikes Back", and later in "Star Wars 6: Return of the Jedi" , In the verdict that Luke and Han Solo were fed to Shalak in the melee, fell into the mouth of Shalak.
In the episode of "The Mandalorian", we also learned that Kraitron later ate Sharak. Boba Fett should have escaped from Sharak before he was eaten. After all, there was a time difference. It’s been so many years, right? As for how to escape, the play basically gave a similar answer. At that time, Manda was deliberately swallowed by a giant like Kretron, and then vomited out through electromagnetic weapons, and Mandalorian armor also has a certain protective effect. This is mentioned in the Star Wars Old History comics that Boba Fett has escaped from Sharak.
It is worth noting that the actor who played Boba Fett this time was Morrison who played Jango Fett, which also added more brainpower to the setting of Boba Fett. For example, does this person have nothing to do with Boba Fett, and what appears at the end of the film is actually a clone of Jango Fett? Even Captain Rex? Who is Captain Rex? He is the leader of the cloned army cloned by Jangofet. He has participated in a lot of battles. He has a good relationship with the Jedi Knights and the Resistance, and he is very loyal to the Republican Army.
However, most of the guesses are that he is Boba Fett, and IMDB also wrote about Boba Fett directly (of course, IMDB often overturns).
I think that if this person is Boba Fett, the drama conflict will be more intense. Boba Fett's adoptive father was beheaded by the Jedi Knights, and then he fell into Sharak because of Luke and Han Solo. So when Boba Fett saw Manda holding Baby Yoda, he probably wanted to squeeze Baby Yoda directly.
As for what Boba Fett is doing now, I won't know until later, but it is interesting that he is wearing a Sandman shotgun. Another point of the brain is to return to the question of whether Jango and Boba are Mandalorian. If they are not, they are just bounty hunters, then who is the real owner of this Mandalorian armor? , How deep is this uprooted pit? The most important thing is whether it can communicate with the pit at the end of the first season. These have to wait until the follow-up series to watch "The Mandalorian" or not to fill in.
Okay, the first episode of the second season of "The Mandalorian" is almost done. I have to clarify here that I am not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I have also watched related novels, comics and cartoons based on film and television works, and played a few Star Wars games. The video is more about sharing my work on Star Wars film and television. Of course, there will be some flaws and gaps in opinions and insights. Thank you to other hardcore Star Wars fans for supplementing and supervising the video and Star Wars knowledge, but don’t raise the bar (desire to survive), peace, may the force be with you, thi is the way.
