Today we will talk about the American drama "The Mandalorian Season 1".
The film title The Mandalorian Season 1/ Star Wars: The Mandalorian (2019), alias Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
On November 12, 2019 local time, Disney launched its own streaming media platform Disney+ (Disney+), officially announcing Disney's entry into the streaming media industry.
So far, mainstream streaming media platforms include Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Apple TV, Hulu, etc.
"The Mandalorian" is the opening work of Disney+, officially premiered on the same day, and the platform also began to provide services.
The work that can be selected as the opening chapter of the platform is naturally a carefully selected drama that can be played. With many IPs in hand, Disney naturally selected the eight most profitable letters: Star Wars.
The price of "The Mandalorian" Season 1 exceeds US$100 million, and the average cost per episode is US$15 million. These costs will be used for clothing, scenery, props, puppets, and special effects. It looks like the special effects are like flowing water, which is not bad at all. Money, the entire drama investment is as high as billions.
The background of The Mandalorian takes place after the fall of the empire and before the establishment of the First Order. That is, 5 years after the official history of "Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi" (Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi, 1983), "Star Wars: Episode VII-The Force Awakens" (Star Wars: Episode VII-The Force Awakens, 2015) the previous 25 years.
The protagonist of the story is an elite Manluda who is super capable. He needs to carry out a difficult and unusual journey in this troubled world.
"The Mandalorian" adopts the format of a unit drama. Each episode is half an hour. The single episode has a short and sharp story, with smiles and tears, suspense and bursts, which is in line with the requirements of short and quick.
After the series went live, they became very popular, and the Disney+ platform is a good first step.
However, since Disney+ was initially only available to a few countries, there is no legal way to see "The Mandalorian" in countries where Disney+ does not provide services. This has also led to the series becoming the most illegally downloaded product that year, which is comparable to the situation encountered in "Game of Thrones" that year.
In addition, Latin American audiences also found that the show includes Spanish dubbing in Latin America, which is actually provided by the platform for Latino and Puerto Rican audiences. In Japan, the show was released in the Disney Deluxe Edition in December 2019, which is a streaming service exclusively for Japan.
Many episodes of "The Mandalorian" pay tribute to early Japanese movies.
The overall story is like the series "Wolf with a Tie", which tells a samurai traveling with a child in Japan.
A typical example is the fourth episode of "Sanctuary" (Sanctuary), which pays tribute to "Seven Samurai". A samurai leads the villagers to fight against bandits.
Judging from the setting of the series, Lonely Gunners and Wandering Stars are quite a bit of a Western film.
Therefore, the show is often called "Space Western" (Space Western).
A simple analogy can be made. The "Star Wars" series is a family soap opera with a space opera background, and "The Mandalorian" is a western adventure drama with a space western background.
This drama is an official acknowledgment of the fans' complaints to Stormtrooper.
In the "Star Wars" series, there is a point that people will always complain about, and that is the stormtrooper who is never allowed to fight.
Finally, in the play, the official formally responded to this statement. It was considered that the Stormtrooper was certified, but it was inaccurate.
In the play, Mayfeld reveals that he is a former imperial sharpshooter. The Mandalorian teased that the title didn't mean anything. Because everyone knows that Stormtroopers can never hit anything. Mayfield immediately emphasized that he is not a stormtrooper. It shows that the people in the play also know that Stormtroopers are useless in shooting.
This quarrel really made me laugh, and the official complaints were the most deadly.
In the eighth episode, even a special arrangement was made for two idle Stormtroopers to shoot a waste box at close range to verify their marksmanship on the spot.
Also in the eighth episode, a large number of Stormtroopers appeared in this episode, requiring a lot of clothing.
According to director Dave Filoni, they didn't have enough clothes, and finally asked for help from the 501st Legion Fan Club to get the clothes.
Now these fans can show off, and their homemade costumes are also officially used.
The biggest basic setting of "The Mandalorian" is the Mandalorian himself.
The real name of the Mandalorian in the play is Din Djarin (Din Djarin), originally a war orphan, he and Baby Yoda have similar experiences.
According to the setting of "Star Wars", the Mandalorians are composed of a group of people with the same beliefs and different races. The Mandalorian culture has strict requirements for the role of father. They believe that fathers should play a prominent role in raising their sons, and those who have no biological children are strongly encouraged to adopt "outcasts."
If a Mandalorian father does not care about his children, he will be called a traitor or coward: hutuun, this is the most serious insult in Mandalorian culture.
This is also the inner inheritance of Ding Jialin's role along the way.
Similarly, the Mandalorian culture also stipulates that outsiders cannot see them take off their helmets.
The Mandalorian Blacksmith mentioned an ancient race called the Jedi.
The composition of the Jedi is quite similar to that of the Mandalorian. They are composed of people of different races, and they only need to believe in and respect the Force.
The blacksmith told Ding Jialin that the Mandalorian had waged war against the Jedi thousands of years ago. The Mandalorian developed and upgraded their armor and weapons, largely because of the Jedi.
There is a small weapons arsenal in Din Jarin's spacecraft.
Several of the iconic weapons in the "Star Wars" trilogy are based on real firearms, and the same here. Almost all of the guns in the arsenal are real firearms or air guns, and the appearance of these firearms is modified to give them a sci-fi feel.
The Mandalorian explosive pistol is also based on real-life guns, adding some extra parts to the Bergman 1894 automatic pistol.
Yoda Moewa is the one who steals the spotlight most in the play.
The big-eyed cute baby quickly captured the hearts of a large number of fans, and everyone kindly called him "Baby Yoda" "Yoda baby" "Yoddler".
Correspondingly, everyone nicknamed the Mandalorian due to Din Jarlin's wolf father behavior: "Daddalorian" and "ManDADlorian".
This is the first time graffiti appeared in a live-action film and television work of "Star Wars".
The "Baby Yoda" in the play is realized by going out of the country with puppets, and then finished by special effects in the later stage.
Although "Baby Yoda" is called "Baby", he is actually 50 years old.
"Baby Yoda" is a boy named Grogu. "Baby Yoda" is not accurate, because this child is not a baby version of Jedi Master Yoda. The name of the Yoda species is still unknown in the Star Wars universe.
Master Yoda died at the age of 900 in "Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi", which also confirms that this race is much slower than others in the Star Wars universe.
Master Yoda also stated that he was 800 years old when he taught his apprentice in "Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back", which shows that this child will have a lot to do in the next 50 years.
The New Republic prison ship in the play is clearly intended to be consistent with the films of the 1970s and early 1980s.
Especially the control room is full of thick red flashing buttons, retro style interface and early sci-fi style console. The corridor on the ship also traced back to the long spaceship hall seen in "New Hope".
When filming this season, episodes 7 and 8 are followed by episodes 1 and 3, because you can see that there are many same actors and locations in these episodes.
The Death Stormtrooper in Rogue One (2016) also returned as an imperial force.
These are elite troops. Soldiers undergo surgical reinforcements, receive advanced training, and wear more advanced armor that can block the sensor system.
Stormtroopers generally become cannon fodder, but these dead stormtroopers should not be underestimated.
With the cultural heritage of the male wolf,
The classic derived space west.
