TBB S3 TRAILER

Holy FUCK I was not prepared for this.

As soon as I saw the trailer posted on Instagram, I grabbed my laptop and casted the trailer on the TV and stood in front of the TV like an old asian man; hands behind the back, spine bent, feet planted shoulder width apart.

Cannot believe it's finally here and I've got a lot of thoughts that I'm going to put under the cut because holy shit, this trailer hit me like a brick.

Idk if they will be comprehensive honestly but I'm writing them down as I rewatch the trailer.

In summary though? This season is going to absolutely wreck me and I will never recover from it emotionally and probably financially too if we get a new wave of merch and shit with it too.

Anyways, thoughts and reactions under the cut-

What the fuck are they doing with that transport? They stealing something? Retrieving something? Is it a tank? Hello, where is Echo??? IS THAT FUCKING CROSSHAIR?! IN S1 ARMOR???

PHEE GENOA!! so fucking great to see her again, I'm going to be absolutely devastated if they show us her reaction to Tech's supposed death.

CAPTAIN REX MY LOVE YOU'VE COME HOME!! "I thought the end of the war would mean the end to losing more of our brothers" <- that better be about Tech and not about Cody, so help me god-

OMEGA'S NEW HAIRCUT :( she looks so much older now :((

STOP CROSSHAIR LOOKS SO FUCKING SAD. I feel terrible actually... this is like,, this is a shell of a man,, like,, this is a man who's got like,, nothing. He looks awful and I swear if he doesn't get some peace of mind I'm going to lose my mind.

"Omega's been waiting for us a long time." NO NO NO DON'T FUCKING DO THIS TO ME. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF YOU DO A TIMESKIP, ANY MEASURE OF TIME THAT OMEGA HAD TO BE WITHOUT HER BROTHERS AND WONDERING WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO COME AND GET HER IT'S GOING TO BREAK ME. I fucking hate timeskips so much, I swear if she's been by herself for more than a year, or even just a year, I'm going to be PISSED. If she doesn't get the chance to be a kid like she deserves I'm going to fucking lose it.

PALPATINE?! "There is nothing of greater importance to secure the purpose of this Empire" <- y'all talking about cloning? About cloning Palpatine because you have to explain why "somehow Palpatine returned"???

HEY WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?!

Holy shit the animation is really good. Like that whole fighting montage?? The fucking scene on the bridge looks like,, fucking live action to me. Idk how to describe it but the animation is fuckng beautiful and I wish Star Wars did more animation because this is gorgeous.

FENNEC SHAND MY LOVE!! MY WIFE RETURNS!!! PLEASE BE IN MORE THAN ONE EPISODE MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! and Cad Bane is there too ig-

"They are coming, for all of you." <- who is this. do not come for me but I cannot for the life of me figure out who this is. It's not Cody, I don't see the scar. Someone help me out here-

WOLFFE IS BACK BABY!!! FUCK I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIM IN TBB ART STYLE

HUNTER ON PABU! Thinking they probably went back after everything and I want to see how they've adjusted and settled in, please, I am begging.

My baby, my angel, myivida, the light of my life. Fuck it's so good to see and hear you again. If anything happens to you I swear to god-

LMAOO DID HUNTER JUST GET YOINKED BY A SPACE CROC?!?! WAIT THEY'RE ON THE BOAT WITH FENNEC!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA

There are two clips that allude to the fact that they get Crosshair out of there before they get Omega and I'm going feral over it. If this means we get them reuniting with Crosshair sooner than later I'm fucking ecstatic. Like because,, that's Crosshair's rifle and they clearly cropped the screen for the sake of the trailer, right? Right??

Hey where is the zillo beast?

ASAJJ VENTRESS??!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! You're telling me,, I get a season,, with Wrecker, Wolffe, Fennec, AND Asajj? Oh be still my beating heart. Anyone hear something meowing?

Also I know in the trailer it seems like she's facing off with TBB but the backgrounds don't really seem to line up so I'm hoping they don't actually face off with each other.

Tech literally only being indirectly mentioned and showing his death scene again but recolored and shit makes me feel all kinds of things.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

3 EPISODE PREMIERE?!?!?!?!?!?! fuck me.

Echo wasn't in this trailer enough and where the FUCK was Cody?!?!?!?!

Fuck.

yeah what a mess. what a MESS.

they took two episodes away from:

1. establishing relationships between boba and the people of mos espa, boba's stated reason for caring about the city and not running away from the fight

2. fennec shand and her relationship with boba, her loyalty is clear and we see how they meet but we also don't get a whole lot of HER and her motivations apart from appreciating boba saving her and thinking he is kind of neat

3. boba actually fighting the political fight (taking out the other leaders in a sort of godfather-esqe manner would have been cool, instead of making fennec do it off camera and focusing on a random rivalry with cad bane - someone not related to this planet boba apparently cares about)

4. maybe more tuskens, it would have been cool to explore THEIR intratribal relations, instead of just killing them off to turn boba into a hero lmao

5. BOBA LEARNING TO RIDE AND TRAIN THE RANCOR LOL

in order to:

1. resolve what needed to be resolved in mando s3, because I'm sorry not only did that 2 episode break from boba disrupt the tension of the show, it was rushed and will almost certainly confuse viewers who haven't watched boba fett

2. sell shiny toys - I cannot fathom why anyone would have thought that those speeder bikes make any sense in context. aren't the mods sort of broke??? how would they afford what are clearly fancy ass speeder bikes? also not for nothing, they broke an important rule in star wars, which is that everything has to be lived in. the ships, even the fancy ass ones, are imperfect and a little beat. these speeder bikes look too shiny and new for star wars anything, let alone broke ass tatooine. and lbr grogu being there is just gonna sell merch, that is the point and that is such a shame because MANDO S3 IS COMING RIGHT UP LMAO

3. honestly... fan service, which I normally give zero fucks about but there really is not a good argument for inserting the grogu stuff into a show that clearly didn't have a high enough budget and wasted it all on A SIDE CHARACTER

idk man. to me, someone who didn't even really care about boba fett until mando s2, this show felt like a messy waste of potential and an insult to fans who have waited literal decades to see boba's story. there is a lot of good in tbobf, but it doesn't save the show because that good stuff is the tusken stuff (more offensive for the time they spent giving them better representation because of how they were massacred off screen to be the motivation of an offworlder) or the mando s3 stuff which doesn't belong or the fennec origin stuff, which absolutely does belong and if anything is a little rushed.

hopefully this is an unfortunate misstep from a team that has otherwise done a lot of good for disney star wars.

INTEREST CHECK Q&A #1

We’ve gotten a ton of responses to the interest check already! Below, find answers to a number of questions people submitted through the form.

Please also see our FAQ, Mod Team, and Schedule pages for answers to frequently asked questions!

Q: Will this this be available physically as well as online?

A: Yes! We will be selling both a physical and digital copy. More information on zine bundles will be available later down the road.

Q: can I participate even living outside of the us?

A: Absolutely you can! We encourage everyone to apply.

Q: Would there be international shipping??

A: Yes there will be! Details on shipping and production will be available later down the road.

Q: Is there like a mailing list to be notified if this becomes a thing? I don’t wanna miss out!

A: The best way to stay up to date with the zine is to follow this blog (we recommend turning on notifications for the blog so you are notified whenever we post an update) and the instagram page.

Q: I was just wondering what dates this would be countered around? + When do we have to turn in our Zine art work? + When would work begin on this?

A: Zine contributor apps open January 25th, and accepted applications are expected to begin late March/early April, with the expectation that the zine will be finished mid-July. For more details, please see our Schedule page. Further scheduling details will be released once we are further along in the project.

Q: Would the zine include other characters from the mandalorian or would it just be centered around Din and Grogu? + Will we be showing the entire story of the Mandalorian, or is this just for drawing the two?

A: Canon characters (Cara Dune, Greef Karga, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Peli Motto, etc) are allowed to be present as long as they are not the focus of the piece. Very minor background OCs (a shopkeeper, bartender, etc) are also fine.

Q: Will you be in need of a graphic designer?

A: Nope! We have a full mod team assembled already. @cranity is our very talented and wonderful graphic designer mod!

Q: How will be the preproduction, production and post production of this zine? Is there a problem if I have never post something about Mando but actually I really like the series?

A: From mod @cranity:

After we have a solid list of our contributors and what merch we’ll need, we’ll be figuring out manufacturers and place orders accordingly to the number of preorders, and then once everything has been gathered together it will be shipped out.

If that didn’t answer the production portion of your question, feel free to send us an ask!

Additionally, if you are an artist you don’t need experience drawing for The Mandalorian before. For writers, we are asking that you have written fic for the show before applying. If you haven’t, you still have lots of time to post fic before the contributor apps open!

Q: If submitting art, can it be traditional, as opposed to digital?

A: You can submit traditional art! Just make sure that it is submitted as a high-quality scan.

We will be periodically posting more Q&A posts throughout the coming days and weeks. If you have a more specific question you want answered sooner, please send us an ask. Additionally, the best way to stay up to date is to follow this blog (turn on notifications for it) and the IG page!

The Mandalorian: Everything we know about Disney Plus Star Wars show

The Mandalorian is the first live action Star Wars show, and it’s getting a second season in fall in 2020.

Lucasfilm / Illustration by CNET

“Mandalorian, look outside, they’re waiting for you.” The wait is over — you can watch the all eight episodes of the first season of Jon Favreau‘s live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian on Disney Plus right now. The show introduced us to the gift that is Baby Yoda (subject of many a fan theory and an onslaught of merch) and may bring a beloved Clone Wars character into live action for the first time in Season 2.

Disney Plus won’t be launching in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Germany until March 24. The first two episodes will be available that day, with the third coming on Friday, March 27. Subsequent episodes will be released weekly, and hit the service at 8 a.m. each Friday.

Now playing: Watch this: First look at the best Baby Yoda toys coming this year

3:49

What we know about season 2?

It’ll start in October 2020, Disney boss Bob Iger (who’s since stepped down) said in a Feb. 4 earnings call. He also mentioned the possibility that some of the show’s characters could go “in their own directions in terms of series” — hinting that we might see some Mandalorian spinoffs down the line.

Rosario Dawson will reportedly play Ahsoka Tano in the second season.

Rich Polk/Getty Images for Sony Pictures Entertainment

On March 20, Slashfilm reported that season 2 will see Ahsoka Tano, former Padawan of the late Anakin Skywalker, make her live action debut. She’ll apparently be played by Rosario Dawson, whom you might remember playing Claire Temple in Netflix’s Marvel shows.

Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in The Terminator and and Corporal Hicks in Aliens, will join the cast as a bounty hunter, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Bill Burr will apparently also reprise his role as gunslinger Mayfield, and principal photography on the season was apparently completed before the coronavirusoutbreak, according to i09.

The day the season 1 finale aired, Favreau mentioned season 2 in a tweet featuring a Gamorrean — the porcine species that served as Jabba the Hutt’s guards in Return of the Jedi. So presumably that race will show up in the next batch of episodes.

CNET CULTURE NEWSLETTER

Movies to music, toys to technology, entertain your brain.

What happened in season 1?

You’re in luck! I wrote detailed recaps of each episode that you can use to catch up:

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian

Chapter 2: The Child

Chapter 3: The Sin

Chapter 4: Sanctuary

Chapter 5: The Gunslinger

Chapter 6: The Prisoner

Chapter 7: The Reckoning

Chapter 8: Redemption

Now playing: Watch this: Your guide to Star Wars lightsaber colors

2:16

Who’s in it?

Pedro Pascal (best known for playing Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones) is the bounty hunter behind the helmet: He’s a lone Mandalorian gunfighter operating in the outer reaches of the galaxy.

Pedro Pascal is the man behind the Mandalorian’s helmet.

He’s joined by a star-studded cast, but a couple of these characters didn’t survive season 1:

I dunno about you, but the sight of happy Baby Yoda immediately calms me.

Disney

What’s the deal with Baby Yoda?

This little guy captured everyone’s hearts the moment he appeared in the season premiere, and we’ve got a whole separate guide for him. He’s officially known as The Child — we don’t know his real name, race or home planet, but he can use the Force pretty effectively and the Imperial Remnant wants him.

Oh, and the most detailed version of the puppet apparently cost around $5 million.

Mando walks away from his ship, the Razor Crest, in the show’s poster.

Disney/Lucasfilm

Why isn’t this about the usual Jedi and Sith conflict?

The Star Wars underworld is a very rich storytelling environment, according to executive producer Jon Favreau. He wanted to get back to the tone of the old Western and samurai films that inspired George Lucas, and said the show is Star Wars meets Mad Max.

The Mandalorian is one of four shows set in a galaxy far, far away coming to the Disney Plus streaming service.

The seventh season of The Clone Wars started in February, and the company announced a Rogue One prequel series focusing on rebel spy Cassian Andor in 2018. And Ewan McGregor will return as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a brand new show, set to start shooting in 2021.

Now playing: Watch this: We rode Disney’s new Star Wars ride

8:02

Who else is involved?

Directors for the first season:

Favreau, Filoni, Colin Wilson and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy are the executive producers, with Karen Gilchrist as co-executive producer.

The Mandalorian is among the first projects for ILM TV, a division of Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic visual effects company. The show’s soundtrack is composed by Ludwig Göransson, who scored Black Panther, Venom and Creed II. Göransson’s Black Panther score won him a Grammy and an Oscar in 2019.

Is there a bounty of Mandalorian merch for us to hunt?

Merchandise hunting is a complicated hobby, but you know you want it. Three characters from the show are represented in the six-inch Black Series — The Mandalorian himself (along with a shiny carbonized variant), Cara Dune, IG-11, the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian (named Paz Vizla) and the Offworld Jawa. Baby Yoda will join them in spring 2020.

What’s a Mandalorian?

Mandalorians are humans from the Outer Rim world of Mandalore, its moon Concordia and the planet Kalevala, whose story was largely told in The Clone Wars and Rebels.

Sabine Wren (seen wielding the Darksaber) could appear in the show.

Lucasfilm

Their world went through major political upheaval during the Clone Wars and early days of the Galactic Empire’s rule, but many of the clans united under the rule of Bo-Katan Kryze after she took control of the Darksaber. The black-bladed weapon was created more than 1,000 years earlier by Tarre Vizsla (the first Mandalorian to join the Jedi Order) and became a symbol of leadership — it also showed up in The Mandalorian’s season 1 finale.

You probably associate bounty hunters Boba Fett and Jango Fett with the term because they wear the cool armor, but they aren’t true Mandalorians. Jango once claimed to be from Concord Dawn, a Mandalorian world, but the government considered him (and by extension, his cloned son Boba) to be pretenders.

Bounty hunter Boba Fett wears Mandalorian armor, but his status is disputed.

Lucasfilm

Could Boba Fett show up?

Fans have been clamoring for Boba’s return to the Star Wars galaxy despite his fall into the maw of a hungry sarlacc in Return of the Jedi, but there’s been no indication that will happen and he didn’t show up in season 1.

Fans of the Legends material (developed in novels, comics and games prior to 2014) will recall that Boba escaped the sarlacc in that continuity and went on to become the leader of Mandalore in a very different (and non-canon) post-Return of the Jedi galaxy.

In canon, Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy of novels saw Mandalorian armor that’s heavily implied to be Boba’s being recovered from the pit and worn by former slave Cobb Vanth. Using the armor as a symbol of power, he becomes sheriff of Freetown (a settlement on Tatooine) and offers sanctuary to anyone willing to battle the world’s crime syndicates.

We also saw a mysterious person approach assassin Fennec Shand’s body on Tatooine in the final moments of season 1’s fifth episode, but the show hasn’t followed up on that tease yet.

What other stories could they draw from?

Star Wars 1313 was a video game that got shelved when Disney shut down all projects at LucasArts — Lucasfilm’s game development group — in 2013. We saw an impressive demo for Uncharted-style adventure before that, featuring actor Wilson Bethel (who recently hit the target in Daredevil season 3).

It would’ve seen players exploring the bowels of the city planet Coruscant — the title was a reference to its grimy underworld Level 1313 (which later appeared in The Clone Wars).

After it was canceled, we found out that Boba Fett was going to be the star and that Kennedy later agreed the concept art was “unbelievable.”

“So our attitude is, we don’t want to throw any of that stuff away. It’s gold,” she told Slashfilm in 2015. “And it’s something we’re spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further. We definitely want to.”

In that same interview, Kennedy noted that Lucasfilm read through the material Lucas developed for the canceled TV show Star Wars: Underworld, which was announced in 2005 and canned in 2010 due to budget constraints. It was to be set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and would have tied into 1313.
