The Mandalorian: A Gunslinger's Odyssey

This video is sponsored by NordVPN Mandalore We take everything we are and throw it into battle It's the true test of yourself A battle against death against oblivion A helmeted bounty hunter who looked incredibly cool has spawned an entire mythology within this bigger mythology than is a good character People like the bad guys, the man with no name because, if you think about it, he still has that kind of collapse from Eastwood's brilliant health. really complex underlying characterizations that you get from them, there's definitely a Star Wars vibe to any of them, as long as I feel the pain, I always get on with my job, so through that I learned about Westerns through that I learned about samurai movies, no I want to be influenced as much by Star Wars but I want to be influenced by the things that influenced George all the great myths the primitive myths the great stories have to be regenerated if they are going to have any impact fantasy has no limits what you what we can do here with new technologies is simply extraordinary it is truly an adventure a Star Wars adventure five months after the theatrical debut of his film the team of the first iron man began in 2008 at George Lucas's Skywalker ranch in the Marin County, California, home to the largest post-production facility in the world between film reviews sound mixing writer director producer and actor John Favreau tore up the ranch in his spare time and rediscovered every bit of the legendary sci-fi franchise who gave his name to the ranch and who he loved since he was a child a love that would inspire his career he turned to film and his own vision of marvel comics is iron man in a few weeks favreau would also soon find himself just down the street in big Rock Ranch the headquarters of Lucas's new animation division where he oversaw Director Dave Filoni gave Favro and his son a special insight into what would become George Lucas' final production for generations.

My ancestors fought proudly as warriors against the Jedi. Now that woman tarnishes the very name of Mandalorian Star Wars, the Clone Wars, and Favro's fan-favorite character. Vizsla would be just the beginning of a beautiful creative friendship between Favreau and Filoni, one that would leave a lasting impression for years to come, even as he went on to direct live-action remakes of The Jungle Book and The Lion King, two of the most innovative productions. In the history of Walt Disney Pictures for its use of video game engine technology and VR to film in a virtual environment, in many ways Favre embodied a bit of George Lucas's pioneering spirit, someone invested in the kind of film technologies that could change the industry forever and that did not go unnoticed by lucasfilm president kathleen kennedy, who approached favro on september 25, 2017 as the ideal candidate to power disney's new streaming platform with the first action series in I live from Star Wars who knew that Favra would flourish with the storytelling tools offered. by lucasfilm all she needed was his speech for favre to look back, not just at the clone wars or the many movies he already made for disney in his career, but at star wars that he grew up with the movies he loved to watch with his father and the stories that carried him through his mother's untimely death and gave Kennedy a name as synonymous with legend as it was with darkness and now Boba Fett, the Star Wars villain with his laser rifle, Boba Fett still It's not available in stores, but you can get it for free with four. proof of purchase of any Star Wars action figure, not exactly Boba Fett, but everything that made his generation obsessed with him, the bounty hunter covered from head to toe in colorful armor, a cold assassin with the walk and talk about a cowboy and the character that was an action figure before he was a character still for every kid with his action figure in the empire strikes back audience a movie that told you almost nothing about boba fetts that just did More interestingly in conceptual artist Joe Johnston's original artwork Boba Fett was described as a super commando and only later coined by George Lucas with the term evil Mandalorian warriors defeated by Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars or at least that's how Writers and fans told their own stories of Boba Fett and the Legendary Mandalorians for years, but the biggest boom came in 2002 with the introduction of Jango Fett and Attack of the Clones, followed by Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic, a year later I will add your head to the other jedi I have killed and take another lightsaber for myself before long there were books, movies for comic book fans, even an official language and fandalorians, an entire pocket of Star fandom Wars with their own colorful Mandalorian armor, eventually, George Lucas and Dave Flony brought these elements to the Clone Wars with a The conflict between the new pacifist Mandalorians and the lore-bound death.

The Mandalorian stories of the Clone Wars remain not only its highlight, but also some of the most important stories ever told in the franchise. For Favro, the legacy of Boba Fett and the Mandalorians represented the most fascinating and untapped area of ​​the live-action Star Wars mythos and having worked as an usher at his local movie theater during the first weekend of Return of the Jedi when was a teenager, a post-Star Wars return to the Jedi galaxy seemed like the right place to explore it. Nearing the end of production on Star Wars Rebels, Dave Filoni, producer Cary Beck and writer Christopher Yost were hired to meet Favreau and help him take his pitch to the next level when two friends came together, The Mandalorian was born, there was more than buck rogers or flash gordon. two elements buried deep in the DNA of the stars Favrea wanted to bring to the fore of the Mandalorian, the samurai film and the Western At the time of his early career, few Western directors so devotedly loved the Jedi Jiki which means period drama and yes, that's where jedi comes from or chanbara a subgenre of jedi jiki meaning sword fighting more than george lucas legendary director akira kurosawa's works like the hidden fortress or yojimbo deeply inspired his approach to narrative and framing Star Wars, while Kurosawa's frequent collaborator Toshira Mafune was a model for the wise and powerful Ben Kenobi, on the other hand, spaghetti westerns such as Sergio Leones Once Upon a Time in the West or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly influenced in much of the world and the determination of star wars, while klinstwood's laconic man without the name was a visible influence on jeremy bullock's mysterious boba fett is not good for me dead favreau loved both genres, but most of all appeal was more than just following in Lucas's footsteps, it was the reason Sergio Leone so skillfully put together what many critics would say that a shot-for-shot remake of Yojimbo with the 1964s is a handful of dollars;

It was the times of relative peace and uncertain change in the post-war eras that both genders represented through Japan's Edo period and America's Reconstruction era and was the lens through which both genders viewed their stories. eyes of the American cowboy and the wandering samurai cinematically the knights-errant of two geographically disparate cultures where American literary fiction leading up to the 20th century romanticized the broad vistas of manifest destiny and the tough-as-nails outlaw's signature for the Wild West, especially in the tall tales of davy crockett, buffalo bill cody and doc holliday, the western genre itself would not be defined until decades later with films such as john ford's stagecoach and henry king's jesse james, classic westerns that often featured prominent gunfighters john wayne or henry fonda would defend the downtrodden and corrupt law enforcement officers and conquer all kinds of wild and untamed nature on the frontier, inspired by the iconic outlaws of western directors such as kurosawa and hiroshi nagaki, they led a jedi jiki renaissance in Japan , where films like Seven Samurai Chushangura or The Story of Satochi portrayed samurai not at their best amid Japan's bloody civil war era, but after the war and during the Tokugawa dynasty of wandering ronans or masterless samurai and finally, in turn, samurai cinema inspired italian directors such as leone and sergio korbuchi to twist the moralistic perspective of both genres into the morally murky backdrop of the spaghetti western, playing with further subversion of the western genre in america, the revisionist western.

Although what they described was rooted in reality, these genres, the Jedi Jiki and the Western, would flourish into mythologies for Japan and the United States, cinematic folklore of mythical characters infused with the values ​​of justice, cunning and bravery or respect, nobility and self-sacrifice, the same kind of values ​​illustrated in Joseph Campbell's Monomyth and later in Star Wars, a contemporary narrative canvas that has become more mythological in spirit with each new entry in its canon for the Star Wars story that was ahead. point of telling, Favreau wanted to take all of these elements and fuse them into a setting that was not only influenced by Western or Jedi Jiki mythology, but was a tapestry to them, a lawless outer edge where gunmen, bandits, ex-soldiers, and ronins Equally, along with all the ancient tales that follow them, they practically go crazy, the galactic civil war is over and the empire is almost finished, but the newly established republic has not yet been secured.

The fulcrum of it results in an unruly landscape that resembles something from the Edo period or the Reconstruction era, a time as susceptible to change as it is to stagnation. Cinematographer Greg Frazier and cinematographer Baz Idoine capture this feeling throughout the show's first season with the iconic open western landscape setting what film critic Dave Kerr describes as a blank page that must be write with the promise of something new there is some law in the land like the bounty hunters guild there are no albums for you now get out of here but otherwise, as will emerge from a The largest stormtroopers in decay hide from the public view.

A cantina run by droids or even the Kuwaiki and the Monkey Lizard. Once at the court of decaying huts. So far, the roast is that the natural order of things has been turned upside down. There's no Star Wars to do it with. be nobly fought and there's no Luke Hans or Leia in sight, just a galaxy that doesn't quite know what's next on its plate, but for a few lone

He is a bounty hunter as cold and relentless as the landscape that isolates him from the show's opening frames and relentlessly efficient at his craft, to quote Ben Kenobi, he may be more machine than man, few things confront him and even fewer.

They can draw their weapon faster. We have you four to one. I like those odds, from the visor on his helmet that resembles the brim of a hat to his economical use of dialogue. Mando immediately invokes Eastwood's

of stoicism and anarchy, especially when he's compared to a galaxy of characters Favra wrote for. Be particularly detailed if you've never seen the mithril novice evacuate his thorax, your lucky one, believe me, may not ride a horse, but the steel gray ship he flies is no less an extension of himself, mechanical, durable and dangerous at the same time , the real. the man behind the

s Led by the aptly named Armorer, this is the way the Mandalorians are rewarded in the glory of battle reflected in their coveted best scar armor - effectively, the Star Wars samurai armor - as well as the Armorer's Forge. evokes the ancient tradition of Japanese steel sword forging, there are many edicts in the life of a Mandalorian, but one rule stands above all, never remove your helmet, doing so could be an even greater dishonor than removing the top knot To a samurai in complete command is Favro's samurai gunfighter, a figure more mythical than human, completely indiscernible from the code and tradition of the symbol he swore everything but something else hides behind the silver dome of his helmet, a one-way mirror for the mind of a mystery more angular and brimming with menace than even Boba Fett's helmet, a silent suggestion that perhaps the command needs disorder to do so.

He may very well keep unspeakable chaos at bay. A lone wolf always on the move, always fleeing the mechanized demons of a deeply traumatic past. If he ever stops to face them, he will be as helpless as the child he was.then, but if you find the order. a system that ensures that his demons or anyone else will never reach him he can be ruthless he can be a hunter this is the central conflict for the mandalorian as much as it was for the edo ronin or the american gunslinger law versus anarchy and order versus chaos as all the figures of the genre that surround him, from the bartender to the rancher or the boss bandits, he is content to live his life exactly as he never breaks with the myth and never deviates from a perfectly endless loop, on the other hand, favro is not Interestingly, what Favreau wants from the Mandalorian is not necessarily a cunning antihero or a devoted warrior, he wants something more than that, he wants Mando to find something or someone who can break his cycle of control, it won't be Nick Nolte.

Though Queel is but the first and wisest of many faces that will guide Mando forward, he is the one thing he cannot repel, against which he cannot aim a weapon, true to the violent and lonely path that for a long time. has shaped it. What Amanda will do. find is actually what he's been running from all this time a little baby Yoda no less helpless than the fractured child deep inside him a fractured child who is still commanding made a decision and will turn his entire world upside down with the A small green raisin was now joined at his hip with our The protagonist is no more the nameless Mandalorian than the lone wolf and cub of the very popular manga film and television franchise from Japan in the 1970s and 1980s, where the fearsome Ronin and hitman Ogami Ito roamed Edo Japan with his young son Daigoro in a baby stroller Lone Wolf and his cub were successful for a multitude of reasons, but their most compelling ideas were rooted in the conflict between Ito and Digoro the conflict that arose between seeking revenge and being a father in the Mandalorian the contrast of the child complicates everything Fernando is almost immediately harassed by hunters his ship is destroyed by Jawas and despite his insignificant disposition he practically gets his ass handed to him Amanda was reluctant to tame to the blur but he is even more reluctant to ask for Queel's help to calm his lone wolf nature, the boy ruins Mando's entire sense of order and he doesn't like it, it will take absolutely absurd measures to keep him and both Favreau and the director Rick Famajiwa takes advantage of that in every moment of chapter two of a heated alliance. with jawas to a mud-covered fight with the incomparable mudhorn, all the while Mando is increasingly reluctant to further loosen his grip on the rigid order he desperately needs, even dying in the name of it, outmatched in an honorable though battle. humiliating by a superior enemy, but he doesn't, instead he witnesses something beyond his wildest imagination, a feat capable of shattering anyone's fragile notion of the universe, something that cannot go unnoticed if there were a word for Describing it, whatever it is, could just be a matter of fate. force to suggest once again that the Mandalorian's order should not be maintained but broken for one reason or another the universe has linked Mando with the child can cling to the familial validation of his warrior ways as much as he wants, he can even use his loot to regain his lost order an armor strong enough to hide the enormous emotional insecurities that his previous suit apparently could not, but in the same way he acquired this armor because Baby Yoda's destiny could order it to serve another purpose contrary to that of his hunter. ways, but completely appropriate to them, of protecting that little green raisin from everything he could not protect from his younger self, he made the decision to save the child, but now he has before him a different kind of choice, a choice imposed on the hero from one generation to the next.

Furthermore, for the galactic trotting journey that, unbeknownst to Mando, is surely coming, the beginning of an

odyssey

like that of Odysseus himself and the epic poems of the Greek poet Homer. Mando will walk or few souls and even fewer Mandalorians have traversed through unforgiving wastelands, tangled swamps, and frozen wastelands before. Deadly tests of cunning and bravery at the crossroads from legends to myths themselves. Fernando won't take him home, he doesn't know that place yet, but he will take him somewhere and it will take a long time to get there, testing his bond with his newly discovered creature.

Every step of the way, how can one be a coward if he chooses this way of life? This is the

odyssey

of a gunfighter. This is the way. Hello stranger, can I help you?

My friend's camera began recording on chapter one of Huckleberry, the Mandalorian's internal codename, on October 1, 2018, after just nine months of meticulous preparation.

In other words, for a Lucasfilm production of this caliber, a very tight schedule compared to a typical Star Wars film, The Mandalorian would have half the budget but double the run time and, according to the vice president and production designer Lucasfilm's Doug Chang, the art department had what was a third of its usual time making designs, but through the guidance and creative partnership between Favro and Filoni, work that should have been impossible became manageable when Faro and filoni presented story ideas for each episode, flony sketched key images for the art department. As he did in his seasonal history meetings with Lucas about the Clone Wars, which greatly sped up the initial design process, designs were approved in just two or three rounds and occasionally, from the first iteration, Favre knew exactly what he wanted. of every aspect of the show, but relied on the work of each artist to inspire the finishing touches of each script, a collaboration similar to Lucas' directing style in the Star Wars saga;

However, in front of the camera, the same fluid style of collaboration would be much more difficult even with a formidable budget of 15 million per episode. Favreau and Filoni grappled with the limitations of the television medium. Sets should be built cost-effectively, repurposed and repurposed whenever possible, just as costumes and props from former star productions like Rogue One would be repurposed and modified for the show even then. A staggering amount of visual effects work or location filming would be inevitable, and both could be expensive. Not only did Favro need some of the best equipment in the television industry, he needed technology that didn't yet exist, technology that not only Favro had pioneered. on the digital playgrounds of The Jungle Book and The Lion King, but cinematographer Greg Frazier on the set of Rogue One, that's what led Favro Frazier and visual effects supervisor Richard Bluff, after many months of experimentation, to invent one of the most revolutionary cinematographic technologies of the last two decades. the staging of the film or, as the team called it, the volume, we have created a system whereby we can have the game engine render in real time and the video wall technology come together to create a backdrop for the big, beautiful world of Star Wars, which feels like a real three-dimensional environment surrounding it because it is a three-dimensional environment due to the volume that the visual effects pipeline that has been traditionally used in the film industry for the last few decades was now Inverted, most of the VFX are created in pre-production rather than publishing and deploying at Epic Games it's an unreal engine and yes at Epic Games there is still some VFX work to be done in post-production but what's there and the camera at first can be adjusted on the fly, which allowed the actors to give better performances with their surroundings. and it didn't require the endless composite of green or blue highlights of a highly reflective main character, a fancy c-3po that didn't benefit from in the prequels, well, it couldn't be as bad as all the volume somehow serves As a full-circle evolution befitting the early days of the Western, where the matte background once provided an illusory Western landscape, the volume projects a photorealistic environment, it's just one of the many ways in which The Mandalorian and nearly everyone involved in They were trying to promote the television medium. forward as was the show's approach to previewing or previewing, a common practice for big-budget action films, but again not in the way Pharah wanted to use it, unusually Favro's team of episode directors were hired long before their filming days to work with vfx and the editorial team previewed the entirety of their respective episodes of taiko ati deborah chao and bryce dallas howard.

This process allowed them to make conscious decisions about their episodes from the beginning and produce a plan for each department to follow, including the volume of the film for Rick. Famaiwa's motion capture and stunt work could be rehearsed well in advance and used in advance to create the perfect action sequence, and for Dave Filoni this process suited his background in animation perfectly, where traditionally each episode was assembled first. in previz and in the case. from the clone wars exclusively on previz without storyboards, it's a channel that has more in common with animation than live action and brought almost every department together in unison, this guy on a tape recorder, I never recorded him in the woods , not even in the forest. ludwig gorenson, frequent collaborator of ryan coogler and childish gambino the mandalorian, was an opportunity to push the star wars sound with a genre score that fuses the orchestral elements of john williams along with the electric guitars and spaghetti western of enya morikone and Hip-hop influences are an element that seems like it would never work in Star Wars, but it captures the same kind of cross-cultural fusion that anime fans might recognize in the hip-hop-inspired score of Samurai Champloo's Nujabes or in rza's similar score for Ghost.

Dog the way of the samurai both projects are symbolic demonstrations of the many intersections between hip-hop and samurai culture and modern media where a newer underground sound is juxtaposed with traditional Japanese culture to ultimately deconstruct the structures and dominant ideas of the samurai for gorenson. This type of sound challenged the dominant Star Wars musical canon as much as the Mandalorian himself did as he was always represented by a single base recorder despite the number of clashing sounds between genres surrounding him. Foreign music is one of the many ways the audience can infer. the emotions of an emotionally complicated protagonist coupled with the careful physical acting of pedro pascal and his two double grandsons of western icon john wayne brendan wayne and martial artist latif crowder where even his smallest gestures signify something like a character imbued with stillness or frazier and iduan's deliberation on composition and camera movement with the editorial team's attention to shot length and old techniques like the kushlav effect yeah, that one from your freshman film class to attribute emotion to a faceless character This concerted approach was invaluable and forged the bond between Mando and Baby Yoda in the early episodes, but it's especially necessary in the middle chapters of the first season, as Amanda was freed on a distant frontier from Kurosawa's Seventh Samurai or the remake. john sturgis's american of the magnificent seven, if you will in the sanctuary, then filoni's ode to the young and old western gunslinger team, particularly the Sam Peck and Paw television series, the western with the gunslinger and then A completely Star Wars version of the tried and true prisoner smorgasbord heist plot in another sense, Mando gets lost in the Star Wars mythology itself. crossing paths with all the charming rubber masked figures and dark characters often relegated to the background, the rebel soldier, the imperial sniper, the devaronian or the mechanic of theshuttle, in addition to the droid ugnot ig and the battle for endor blug, which he already knew while we were never lost with the command itself despite the show's predilection for an episodic approach more similar to shows like the western or wanted dead or alive than the perceived drama series of the streaming era, there is always an emphasis on command, he knows his life has changed and some of his order given up, but that won't stop him from continuing as if he hadn't, clinging to the ordinary world he has afraid to quit, even if that only brings him face to face with ex-dropper and lost soul cara dune and a local.

The community of krill farmers who have lost their peace to the clantonian mando and part dune raiders are trying to stay in some kind of place in an environment they can control, but fate simply won't allow them to do so, instead, They are pushing them forward. towards what is unclear, although certainly not more order, so they must put aside their lone wolf ways and give the community the tools to defend themselves even after the smoke has cleared and peace has returned to farmers as part of a community that adapts to your needs as much as theirs is not something Mando's trauma allows him to have, he still won't take off his armor literally and figuratively and since he never had stability growing up, he would prefer give it to the child.

Even if doing so would only convey his abandonment, he will overcome it, we all care about his decision, command and the boy must remain on the move, towards where he and the ronin gunmen he embodies have always been welcome to roam a landscape worthy of outlaws. , since it is from the lonely past that he longs for, but Manda will not find there what he is looking for in the time that has passed. The mercenaries who have pursued Mando only regurgitate the same lackadaisical nonsense he once told his targets. The shoe is not just on the other foot of Mando Mando is changing, he reveals himself to us in the shadows of the old selves that haunt him and no one can represent that better than Toro Calikin you can keep the money everything I just need this job to enter the Guild Bull initially seems harmless, if not just a little green behind the ears, however, in Filoni's words, he understands the shooting of pulp novels, but doesn't understand the reality that it's a real job.

Bull is the Mandalorian without his code of honor, someone who avidly seeks only glory and personal gain, regardless of what it takes to achieve it, he is what he was looking for on Tatooine, but not what he expected, the hunter. cold-blooded, indifferent to the universe around him, inevitably, bull only shows him the futility of Going back to that there is no glory in hunting for he has bigger worries, bigger responsibilities now and it is only at the wrong moment that that becomes very clear : It would be foolish to challenge any Mandalorian, but Mando, above all, not because he is the deadliest assassin but because he is much more than that in hangar 3. 5 Mando decides for the first time that the child should not be given away and certainly not must be sold, that child is his, and yet that won't stop Mando from trying one last time to retreat into something that might restore his sense of control, but Mando's most desperate stop is a blur and fed into congested close-ups that give us They show how unfamiliar Mando has become with the world of crime he once knew, not the optics he has now anyway, and in some ways this retirement might be his biggest mistake yet.

Mando Mando is associated with the lowest lives we have known so far as rational, selfish and delusional former gang mates, even with the helmet on Mando's body language around him reads of immense discomfort, they have not changed one bit. little since his racing days. jobs, but according to them none of them have command and coming from these guys it is a terrifying accusation, but then in the prison of the republic we see a strange line of morality that we have not seen before. Ormando, once he disintegrated his jaw, he didn't think twice about encasing the targets of him in carbonites.

With the candor of a horror movie villain, he now refuses to pull the trigger to be the gunman. The command may not realize it, but he is developing a conscience, a capacity for empathy that he has never had before and, to no one's surprise but his own, it cost him even more. betrayal, although the underworld is no place for conscience, is also beneath the endurance of a man of command because it will take a lot more than a cell to keep him from his son at the end of amanda's brief retreat, the good old boys Times have gone despite what he might say sarcastically or not, although Mando has found himself in almost every scrape due to the need to survive a brutal paycheck to paycheck lifestyle with a reticule on his head, the truth is.

What he's been shown is irrefutable, he's just not the same tough guy he used to be, I told you that was a bad idea, he's out of character everywhere he goes and at odds with almost everyone he could have ever called allies, everyone. except the boy, to the point that he has resisted the hero's journey by clinging to the common at every moment. opportunity and although it has not stopped him from becoming who he is becoming, it has allowed him to suppress the darkest and deepest part of himself, the fear that defined his lone wolf nature in the first place, however, the journey so far has been tiring. in control of some things. duel karga extends a true stomando and invites him to return to the guild to recover just a little of the lost order from him;

However, the Imperial remnant is also there in force and will need to be dealt with to clear their bounty for good if it is to be a battle between law and anarchy, then Mando may need a magnificent seven of his own, give or take , some members. Wow, production on the first season of The Mandalorian lasted about four months, from October to February 2019. Most of the episodes were filmed at the same time, including Filoni Chao and the Watiti episode. set in Navarrese, while the last episode to be filmed was actually The Gunslinger throughout the overlapping schedule, each director covering the second unit in another director's episode, effectively, The Mandalorian is the product of a shared vision between several directors Disguised as a purely episodic experience, this band of mercenary directors as described by Favreau was the basis for the command mercenary band itself in the calculation of how tough as nails, blunt car dunes, and gentle, loving queers might seem. worlds apart in every way imaginable.

Fermando, hell, they even fought on opposite sides of the war. but they have all included command and walked the same rugged path in drifting isolation and for no reason have enjoyed their time on the frontier, but Amanda will share with you a little of what she found on her own, something that is worth fight, they just need to. take the difficult and treacherous step of counting on each other as much as they have counted on themselves in the art of The Mandalorian Phil Sostak writes The Mandalorian is in front of and behind the camera, an expansion of perspective that explores a lesser-known world but remains a thread vital in the rich fabric of Star Wars for the team behind the camera.

The volume's groundbreaking workflow certainly broadened his perspective, but it's these two chapters on Navarro that allow that sentiment to bear fruit on camera. In the words of Qui-gon. There is always a bigger fish and that is no less true in what awaits our heroes. The hapless stormtroopers wallowing in Navarro's warehouses suggested from the start that the Imperial remnant couldn't be weaker, but the surprisingly formidable and heavily reinforced garrison in the city proves completely otherwise. the tide of law is stronger than any part of the galaxy has caused to rise in opposition to an equal tide of chaos, conversely, we have never crossed Navarre from its endless lava plains, an open stage hidden from the View, it is the backdrop to an arduous journey and a wild frontier, but remember also that it is the promise of something new as the once towering blobs of Queel are carried away by mouse-like monsters, another kind of perspective widens to the pain.

Karga shaped by an outlaw world of deception, mistrust and gunplay. Pain gets the last. He would ever expect compassion from anyone, the boy heals him without hesitation without regard to who the pain really is and just as that left an unmissable impact on Mando, he will condemn the pain in an equally lasting way that a child's miraculous kindness cannot. did. Just get these four outlaws together, it may be the first and only thing that gives Grief a chance to consider what Amanda has been considering since she first saw the boy and now freeing Navarro won't just be about the possibility of freedom. , otherwise that is something new, they have bothered us from the beginning. respect for his deals or his men, he is the archetypal lawman, but against an unraveling outlaw like Mando, his villainy runs deeper, the war that foreshadowed this lawless era, never ended for him, instead of the The past and all the trauma that accompanies it and that keeps people in control is their playground and is completely under their control.

You have something I want. You may think you have some idea of ​​what you are in possession of, but you don't. Giancarlo Esposito Gedeon's Moth embodies everything he commands could spiral into violence that he could eventually carry out to restore the sense of control he desperately lacks, the past glory he will cling to just to have it, and the honor he willingly will refuse to pursue such ignoble goals in the pantheon of Star Wars villains that he shares with the same refusal to let go of figures like Vader or Maul and Commando, cuts to the center of his mysterious façade where Dinjarin has been reluctant to broaden his perspective. .

Gideon completely refuses because he believes he already knows everything, just like you betrayed our trade agreement. He would gladly break anything. I promise to see you die in my hand. Survive Moth's trial. Gideon will not only take weapons, which for the record, will take a lot of weapons, but the ability to resist what Gideon represents. Our heroes can't keep looking over his shoulder. they have to find the means to look forward the means to accept what they cannot control and the duty that was imposed on them pain found it in finally showing its spine kara finds it in fighting the imperials and queel finds it in designing something not for war but for Well for Denjarin, the means to look forward is both in front of him and behind him and whether it be an astromech, a battle droid, a protocultroid or an IG unit, he has faced them all and each with the same hostility reinforced by his past and for a man who has based his entire survival on moving fast enough to avoid a confrontation with him. 11's reprogramming hardly impacts him any differently, as he has resisted the uncertain implications of the change on his own life and he stubbornly refuses to do the same with a droid.

To accept otherwise would be to alter all the foundations of his being, it would be as if he died that same day. Do it, do what simply achieves everything, but on a day as fiery and dark as the one on which his fate was sealed for the first time behind two Doors in Mandalorian chest plate shape with a crash he opens them, lowers his guard and instead of scaring him, heals him face to face with his own mortal enemy and then begins to see himself. He spent years exchanging his humanity to embody what he feared most.

The only thing he could become to ensure that he would never suffer so much again, but then came the little one and all the chaos that came with it. The child as dins means looking forward and the duty imposed on him is to be his father. This is the way a father is, someone capable of defending the defenseless, attending to their needs and bringing them to his people. How does someone prepare for that in these aspects? ig 11 not only reflects who has been commanded but who you need to be now what are you doing self-sacrifice willing to plunge into danger at any moment because if a machine can change, so can din jaren, all you need to do is finally accept the push of the destiny and move forward.

Our heroes survived Gideon's trial because they adapted to the age of anarchy. It won't be forever and times are bound to change, but that doesn't mean the empire has to come with that change. There is a balance somewhere between order and chaos. Dolor and Kara might find theirs in Navarro, but Amanda will have to venture a lot. further to find his own, as the den pays its respects to the cowboy who first showed him the way, a new chapter begins and what has become an endless journey, no matter how tired he is with the trail behind him. of him, themandalorian looks to the horizon wider than ever before and continues so i won't be able to get what i am after pre-production on huckleberry's second season had begun even before the end of production on the first season in january 2019 with a much better understanding of the volume favro and Filoni based much more of his story on pushing its limits physically, technically and narratively.

The volume was reconstructed and reconfigured for both low-light and more dynamic scenarios. Pharaoh Falloni and Famihiwa kept their scripts simple and gave season two directors, new and old, more hands-on. freedom than ever, the difference from the first episode is certainly felt, although the Mandalorian was still rooted in his grounded Western feeling, the mythical spectacle he would soon bring to the television screen would be larger than life which would be the first round of Favro in the Mandalorian director's chair. to tell his biggest story yet after crossing paths and shaking hands with star wars cyclops mando ventures beyond the tatooine we know to the forgotten city of moss palgo straight out of the high plains wanderer associated with cobb vance timothy oliphant the marshal derived from Western film marshals like Henry Fonda's Simon Frye, these two knights in somewhat shining armor unite the indigenous Tuscans and the people of Moss Pelgo to slay a fearsome dragon, while Vanth himself is an intersection between many Star Wars legends, Fett's armor, Anakin's Podracer, and Chuck Wendig's later novel, The Krait.

Dragon is practically a legend to the Star Wars canon itself, as Idawin's imagery invokes Lawrence of Arabia Dune and even a bit of Jaws, while Favro delivers arguably Star Wars' most exciting scene from the trenches, a battle which cements the glory of The Mandalorian himself as Mando rides into the sunset. The definitive image of the Western Chapter 9 certifies the rich and mystical backdrop of the Mandalorian, where the Eastern Western and Star Wars myths come to life and endure forever, except not. Chapter nine opened with the command. setting foot where we have never seen it before, a darker and more dangerous civilized world, the antithesis of the open arena in which the law has already run its course.

Later, Amanda will find herself not in illegal havens but in places like Trask Corvus and under the renewal of Greece, Navarro. -oiled communities that have moved forward or tried to move forward with the times and although the foothold of the new republic is still but a shadow of its previous government, even they will exercise oversight where there was chaos before the empire's previous dispute about Navarrese was an omen and the opening scene of chapter nine only solidifies it, the wild west is ending, the storybook landscape where the embellished myths of gunslingers and samurai as they might roam is beginning to close and the myth itself is diminishing and part of why it is declining is tied to why it was initially thriving.

American culture that once embraced the cowboy's idealized self-image of free-thinking, gun-toting American justice was beginning to grow outside the West as the United States became increasingly involved in a morally murky Cold War that would come to redefine how many Americans saw their government and themselves to change the image of the cowboy they were no longer the ringo kid or wyatt earp but butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were the wild bunch, they were the outsiders, they were all a dying breed living on the edge of America's progressive era, Whether unwanted by society or trapped in one that could not be saved, technological modernization and legal reform sealed them. as much as it removed the wild frontier that most Westerns established during this period and in tragedy and after more than 50 years of defining, redefining, reinventing and remaking.

Western cinema again and again audiences largely lost Interest in cowboy and samurai cinema never disappeared in the same way, but it did lose its prominence and, for some of the same reasons, the overexposure of the genre's aging stars, the decline of the Japanese film industry and changing self-image of Japan, an image newly defined by modernization as Japanese society faltered increasingly since World War II and became increasingly tied to Western commerce during the Cold War, invariably films such as Karakiri Samurai Assassin or Lady Snowblood were They were set in decadence. days of the era gone or criticized feudal traditions, Japanese self-image grew more and more since many westerns have been made since the 70s and today such as Unforgiven or 310 to Yuma, as well as samurai films such as Twilight Samurai and Lee sang the second. remake of unforgivable, but not without making many references or comments on the cinematic periods that precede them in the mandalorian, a similar unraveling of the myth is taking place despite all evidence to the contrary, like the gunslinger or the mandalorian ronin.

One of the Mandos he encounters isn't a Mandalorian at all, it's Cobb Vance, who practically pawned Phet's legendary besgar from the unscrupulous Tatooine trash divers, and despite the significance of the sacred creed Mando associates with the armor, Vanth He also makes a compelling argument for why he earned it not to attack. But to defend his people, Cobb Vanth challenges Din's Mandalorian identity, the most integral and deeply rooted part of his internal sense of order, even more than his past trauma, Mando has already sacrificed much of that order to care for the boy. , but to ask a Mandalorian to sacrifice being a Mandalorian that's too much, in fact, he'll double it, transmitted not on the single base recorder on which Gorenson usually plays the Mando theme, but on the strong, confident sound of the electric guitar As Mando descends into a more civilized and industrialized galaxy. the strength to keep everything he loves close to the chest matters more than ever, but then again, Mando is just one man and a clan of two and he's destined for something worse than being thrown from a speeder by bandits.

The only way to guarantee his survival is to continue following the eternal force of destiny to take risks and give up limits that he has never had before and even then survival is not assured as Mando claims from the beginning. I'm not going to leave my destiny to chance, but taking that kind of risk is your best and only one. option when he goes to tatooine in search of a true mandalorian destination, then he gave him vanth and after hitchhiking back to mos eisley, taking a chance is literally his only option once again i will tell you where to find some mandalorians that's what you wanted . the right to command fate is now nothing more than one more thing to fight against, one more thing, trying to strip him of his armor or his foundling, so he despises him, leaving the task of transporting Misty Roses Frog to Lady be ridiculous and not under him. unlike Mando's stint with a Jawas in Chapter 2.

As expected, it's not long before he remembers how well he did last time because the galaxy is changing rapidly and Mando can't escape fate, nor can he escape the law. He doesn't know where he thinks he's going with this thing, just as the crest of the command knife is an extension of himself, the means by which this ancient piece of steel can escape the order that represses him is pushed to the limit, as whether real, imagined or something strange in between the director peyton reed drops dan jarren in a kind of star wars nightmare where our only company in a cave colder than hoth are two characters dressed from head to toe and a puppet while the grim survival odds set by the second command face his worst fear is the thought of losing everything he keeps close to the chest.

The creed has always taught him that only the strongest should survive the elements thrown at them, if necessary only his clan of two should survive, but it is not enough to believe that and it is not enough. enough to put the nightmare to sleep or awaken the identity of the mandalorian jin is challenged again and in the voice of what he used to fear before he made it stronger before mando promised to be selfless, but maybe now that mantra doesn't just apply to protecting the child perhaps applies everywhere because if you're not willing to defend the last ancestral line of the frog ladies, why should you deserve to defend the child or their fading creed?

I thought honoring the word was part of the Mandalorian code, I guess that's just stories for children Mando can stay under the ice be as cold and isolated as the wayward assassin he once was and die ashamed with his mythical creed or he can face his fear and take risks to allow someone to survive because very soon you will have to choose between putting everything at risk or being consumed by fear. Reed crushes Mando into the deepest corner through the most spider-ridden fever dream ever imagined for Star Wars shooting at trigger speed. finger and fighting within inches of his life to defend the frog lady and the boy Mando turns toward oblivion on the brink of extinction for two dying races and says that no matter how old his customs are, he will not die under the ice, he will not die The same cold-blooded machine he once was will not be the last Mandalorian because the nightmare ended up confronting his fears.

Fate apparently rewards Mando with the salvation of the republic. His good deeds earned him mercy, almost as if telling him that he is in the right path the old Razor Crest is reliable enough to reach space, but like Mando, his days have never been more numbered. Come here. I need your hands. Although Amanda escaped her nightmare, she will now have to face all of her fears again in Trask. It's worn at the seams, its crest has been battered as much as any ship can be, its command armor does little to protect it, and the only warriors capable of rescuing it, the Mandalorians it's been dying to find, will be the last people it needs.

He I once called Mandalorian, I hoped no one would obstruct the sense of command identity more than the bokeh tan of Katy Sakhof and her longtime Mandalorian night owls who, according to the myths of the clone wars and the rebels, might be more Mandalorian than din himself or din once felt qualified to be part of a proud and all-encompassing creed, is now a misguided fanatic kidnapped by a cult and effectively protected from the outside world behind armor, the command might reject him, try not to listen what he heard, but he will not succeed again, fate gave him what he asked for, but not what he wanted with them, he is indeed a polished relic, a stranger, is it not enough to follow the creed to belong to something that gives you purpose and meaning only to have it undermined everywhere, shouldn't you fight for it? protect what Mandalorian means to him maybe, again, he does need the Bogota command quest could end here he could pretend that the night owls are not Mandalorian and maintain the increasingly fragile order that his creed provides him or he could open his mind director Howard's Mandalorian Bryce Style The action is merciless and full of character, from the choreography to the framing, even Sackoff's body language and Gorenson's synthesized score.

There's a surgical precision to the way the night owls fight like a well-oiled machine, one more adapted to the times than the failing fossil. To keep up with them, although they are newer and faster, some of their tactics can border on disgraceful. The Bogota native wields fear like a weapon, like a Mandalorian Batman, using it to further his goals and only her goals, even to the point of being willing to violate her agreements. Mando may accept that she is a Mandalorian, but he won't accept believing that she can't have a little more chivalry, although on the contrary, Mando is the myth out of time, which is why he is more old-fashioned and isolated in his beliefs than anyone else. person.

There's no reason for Bokeh Tan to listen to him, any more than there's a reason for Mano to accept who she is, so Aldin may not have a say in what does or doesn't make a Mandalorian, he does have a say in what kind of Mandalorian is. He will be someone willing to take on his fears and risk everything not for what he will gain but for what he will give to others. Take the path found to the city of Caledon on the forest planet of Corvus. There he will find ahsoka tano tell her that you were sent by bogotan and thank you she packed her bags this is then mont calamari incredible from one dry town to another salty dock everywhere she goes I send the faces and names she has crossed are settling into their own type of order you take palgo or navarro mando is the one who gives the gift of that order fertilizing the soil so that the roots of change grow, but just as each one finds his own order adapting his own code for the times in which mando islosing his even after bowing to the forces of change and opening his mind as much as anyone reasonably can, the circumstances imposed on him demand more with each stop, he has less and less to give, but still he is forced to risk it all again because of how important this search is to him.

He would never show it, but it's easy to see in our own reflection in the exterior control hole. He is tired. The mythical Wild West is truly ending and with it all myths are simultaneously considered true. Amanda was nothing more than a gunslinger whose time has tragically run out. Her only options now are to die with the myth that her creed code and armor embody or find some way to move forward again. By the way, fate has armed him with almost everything he needs to refine the way everything except the two people who can put all the pieces together if necessary. anyone in the entire galaxy who knows the power of perseverance has to be ahsoka tano back in 1971 dr no director terence young teamed up with french producer robert dorfman to film the self-proclaimed first western film spaghetti western red sun in which the east meets west star charles bronson teamed up with samurai film icon to share mufune and recover an ancient samurai weapon that will restore honor to the red sun mifune's kuroda was one of the last big blockbusters in the golden age of westerns and a long-awaited intercultural and cinematic celebration of two mythological heroes who have always been more similar than different 50 years later star wars had its own red sun in chapter 13 the jedi where two sworn enemies the jedi sorceress and the mandalorian super commando They confront each other in the forested hills of Corvus where the Western myth has dried up in most of the galaxy.

Corvus stands as an unbreakable bastion of geeky Jedi mythology. It proliferates in every inch of the planet, but also in every aspect of the episode. The iconic landscape of burned tree stems. The slow and focused movements of the camera. constant wind the feudal lord the feudal peasants gorenson's understated score and even the predominantly asian cast if we didn't know ahsoka she might as well be the resident ronan of any and all samurai tales facing the same power dynamics again and again as if she were on the stage of a play, Filonian Idawin's images often frame her as if she were one with nature, one with the old world at odds with modernization, while commanding, for Of course, it walks back and forth at the same time as to what the Star Wars mythos have to say.

About Ahsoka, she doesn't live in the past, in fact, Ahsoka is a survivor, someone who has adapted her code from one period of change to the next, all to stay on the right path, she has the compassion and altruism of a Jedi , but none of the dogmas or inflexibility that blinded the creed to which he once swore allegiance and although he spent much of his life wondering, it was never to flee his fears but to follow his destiny, the ultimate manifestation of destiny, Mando has sought for a long time to Ahsoka so that the boy can finally have a home, but thematically the man has been guided here by why exactly she will enlighten him to the potential of a Jedi's power, her devotion to the mystical force and her vision in perspective will surely expand even further. plus the command consciousness of the universe, however, Ahsoka's greatest power and what Din can gain a lot by coming here is his innate ability to hear Grogo and can sense the thoughts of others.

Kroger Maddow would have always needed a Jedi to know the boy's name, Grogu, but only through a person like Ahsoka could Mando fully understand what it means. Caring for him only through a lens as open as hers could he understand that it's never so much about what he wants for Grogu but rather what Grogu needs for one reason or another they found each other, the two have formed a relationship. durable. bond evoked from the heart in the image of a father and son playing catch, good job, good job boy, it's a beautiful thing and fills Mando with paternal pride, but there's a duality to it if either of them ever face the fear of losing.

With each other, that bond could become possessive like Anakin Skywalker who tried to control his attachments, those who brought order to Anakin's tumultuous life for fear of losing them, and of all things, Ahsoka knows that he could know that, above all, more beyond the strength and dynamics of the connection. with others embellishes this duality can apply to any type of connection with material objects, rigid beliefs or even an obsolete creed. It's a strange philosophy in the salt of Mando's ways, but it gives pause to not only be honorable and selfless, but also to be compassionate and open-minded at all times is the greatest lesson Mando has learned so far, so , while Ahsoka may be reluctant to train Grogu, she is willing to make him a deal to see how much Manda was willing to sacrifice to save the people of Kaladin, the setting for the ultimate battle of a samurai movie in Star Wars, where Felony invokes Kurosawa's rich filmography more than any other Mandalorian episode, as Ahsoka battles the Magistrate's machines and then the Magistrate herself played by Bruce Lee's goddaughter Diana Lee Inosanto, Flony and editor Andrew Eisen, cross-cut to the command tent stool with tombstones, michael bean in the yard, in a sense, yo jimbo is happening in one room while the new version of leone, a handful of dollars, is in the other. it's brilliant it infuses western and jedi geek mythologies into a single story it's the red sun but it's also the siege of mandalore from the legend of star wars a prophetic battle where two ancient enemies unite before it ends the intervention of a mandalorian has restored order in one more place while the command itself has once again only lost more, his command's faded encounter with Ahsoka was never to assure him how his honorable quest can end nor to the audience how myth and lore can survive the times, but how to make the most of his fatherly duty ahsoka.

She knows that Grogu is part of the command's destiny, not hers, so she does not tell him the direction of the Mandalorian path he wants to follow, but the path he must follow, the path that Grogu must follow, go to the planet Tython, place Kroger on the vision stone. at the top of the mountain, so what then grogo can choose his path, mando may not have appreciated it before, but now, knowing grogu better than ever, he finally will, now the responsibility of being a father matters more than anything else, even devotion to his creed should. He will be forced to choose between the two, but if the day ever comes when Grogu's true path separates from that of command, he must be prepared to accept that not being possessive of their bond but willingly letting it go might be the best thing to do. difficult for anyone to do. i accept especially for someone who has already let go of so many things since this journey began and especially for a father, fortunately, mando is not alone on that journey, although he is not entirely sure, again, there are not many jedi, jedi or Mandalorian, they are both dying. races perhaps destined to be slowly swept away by the ages by a galaxy that no longer needs them jedi mythology jiki may prosper on corvus as much as the west prospered on tatooine, but how long before the day comes when perhaps not Do it?

The red sun will set while there is no way to know for sure. Ahsoka proves there might be a way to survive. Mando must adapt and with that his path takes him to Tython, an ancient site of Jedi lore already forgotten by time, perhaps by walking through the ruins of. The past will faithfully find the key to the future as Grogu will decide his future in Jedi Seeing the Stone Director Robert Rodriguez will force Denjarin to decide his in Tamara Morrison's Boba Fett's Scarred Face You Can't Be Older Than the Original unnamed Mandalorian, the model from which this entire mythology has spread, and yet he might have more in common with Ahsoka than any other Mandalorian we've ever met, fitting into the context of Favre's commentary on the myth.

The ruthless bounty hunter from the original No Disintegration trilogy died in the cartoon pit. Audiences wouldn't learn the full story until the Boba spin-off series a year later, but even in this series Rodriguez allows us to pick up a born-again Boba Fett. let's put down our weapons let's chat there's no need to shed blood a merciful man, open-minded and bound by his own code along with cobb vanth and bocatan he tempers din's notions of what a mandalorian can be as far as they can go for stupidity There's already endured the Mandozan's odyssey, he has already been repressed by fate and has already been forced to adapt beyond his limits.

Den may scoff at his demands, but he'll soon discover that Boba isn't a fading mercenary, he's Jango Fett's son and he's almost a Mandalorian. If mando is a gunslinger, boba needs to be a barbarian in the tragedy, rodríguez serves a fet that lives up to the violent legend where the night owls showed the precision of the mando, oba shows him power, although both found the fighting spirit necessary to survive the order of the The empire maf gideon ii has found his own way to survive the band of mercenaries that surpassed him in Navarre. An evil command that he is very familiar with and every foreign ronin will be desperate to prevent the human being within him was the last weakness to solve if the boot of modernization has manifested itself like anything in the Mandalorian, it is the dark soldiers of Gideon, killing machines as relentless and callous as any relic of the past, there is little the command can do except watch as their son is torn from the path they sacrificed so much to put him on. and he watches as the fragile steel that he has fought tooth and nail for is destroyed even after he has been punished wall to wall all season long.

Favre and Filoni still had the audacity to put Dinjarin through tragedy on the day his worst fears finally came true and he was reduced to nothing more than his armor and the best spear that fate once gave him the armor to protect. Grogu now fate has not only given him the sacred weapon for a chivalric rescue mission but also the two knights who would be willing to help him, but fate sometimes intervenes to rescue the unfortunate because of how cruel Din's punishment has been. . Only after reaching his lowest point here in the ruins of Tython does Mando finally find the means necessary to reforge his creed, a new code pliable to everything he's been through.

He has met him and who he must be to rescue Grogu from the clutches of the Empire as the final leg of the Mandalorian's odyssey begins. He'll just need to find the courage to decide what that code will be. Maybe there won't be a new age Mandalore, it won't be cool. Mandalorian Crusade Perhaps your people fought their last battle on Malachor 5 and you have been dying ever since, a silent death that will last for centuries, haunted by the thought of being the last of the Mandalorians with nothing to offer but a debt of gratitude. A community Comprised of allies and individuals motivated by altruism and honor, with your help Dan will plot a path straight to the heart of the star cruiser Mafiddine and recover the rogue, but before he can do so he will need the imperial experience of someone truly unorthodox to the that he knows. a second i thought you were this other writer and director rick famous brings the worst of bill burr migs mayfield back into the fold for the penultimate chapter of the voyage of command a soldier turned gunslinger whose days of riding horses and robbing banks are practically over at the Next to the likes of Boba Fett, Fennec Shand and the Mandalorian, he's effectively a nobody with no purpose to serve except advancing our hero's quest, but therein lies the kind of unique perspective that comes with Mayfeld's humble disposition. as someone whose life was governed. by order before losing everything before Mayfeld's eyes Mando is just one fall away from the exact same place he has been on the other side of Mando's fears marked by chaos but illuminated in a way Mando has not yet taken off his armor a long time ago and gave up his insecurities and with the optics that accompany them, comes the type of perception that I hesitate to listen to.

I'm just saying that somewhere in this galaxy someone is ruling and others are being ruled. I mean, look at your race. Do you really think that all those people who died in wars fought by Mandalorians actually had a choice, so are they any different from the empire? Look, I'm just saying we're all the same. Mayfeld believes that no matter what creed one once swears to or the emperor, one pledges allegiance to all. He is fundamentally an individual bound by a code that is more personal than any law or order. It is a dose of reality that Mando is not ready to accept even if the Mandalorian definition of him has expanded precipitously,He may not listen to her, but he will quietly do so. open your eyes looking at the survivors of the tragedy in morak the survivor who is mayfield and the image that is literally reflected in him with the same armor the security the feeling of invulnerability that order can bring is a rather false order as if the empires will only benefit those with the privilege to impose it on others while the chaos assigned by the lawless galaxy is a useless response, the clock may have none of the dastardly intentions of the empire, but in the right situation, as mayfield says, the creed Not even their most sacred rules can explain what Den needs to do for a father rescuing his son, but as they've done from the beginning, the Empire won't let the command slip before offering one last devil's advocate delivered in a performance. chilling by richard blake in a galaxy prone to constant change constant chaos and no apparent force to defend the future why give up order when that is exactly what is needed to survive why reject empire when it brings the comforting stability it allows It makes you feel safe because even if you're not, you still died in the name of a worthy cause, the entire city disappeared in moments along with everyone in it, that day you lost our entire division, man, I was like five ten thousand people yes all the heroes of the empire yes from the right angle where leaders like valen hess moth gideon or arguably the armorer presides there may be no greater cause worth dying for but ask the ex stormtrooper how does it feel to be so expendable ask him how scared and traumatized that left him and how the empire ultimately used that to control him, excused as a sacrifice for the greater good ask him if the alternative was better for burn fighters and khan looks at the boys everyone thinks they want freedom but what they really want is order for the empire the response will be resistance if the cowboy comes out then he comes out Mayfield draws his own line against evil in the mud of Morocco.

He may have seemed as interested as any other pirate or scoundrel before, but if he knew he had a chance to prevent untold devastation, the death of tens of thousands of people. innocent people in the unnoticed passing of guilt and trauma to the next division of stormtroopers in the next scam with him he could never live with himself eventually there has to come a time when the outlaw stops fleeing and takes a stand in his First, we all need to sleep at night. Mando may have no greater goals than rescuing Grogu from the Empire, but the lesson Mayfeld teaches him applies anyway.

Absolute order is terrifying and chaos creates a world of mistrust, but in reality Somewhere in the chaotic and uncertain middle between law and anarchy could be a way of life that liberates them a code in touch with the past but malleable to the future driven by compassion and honor and completely balanced den may not know exactly what it is like. that but now he knows what must not be enough for both of them no matter how deep-rooted their bokeh beliefs have been so boba fetts and denjarin, the time of civil unrest among Mandalorians must come to an end fractured by the comings and goings of order and tradition long before the era of the lawless galaxy, the last of the Mandalorians were written a death sentence in the night of a thousand tears if they do not learn from the past and continue to resort to controlling tribalism or outdated tradition their passage end will be written by the empire in their blood the mandalorians not only need to take a stand they must take as many others have done and finally move to expand their definition of a mandalorian as din has learned to do again.

No one, not even the aerospoketan, knows exactly what that looks like, but they're willing to try and all. It will have to be enough because where they are going, the jaws of the lion's den, where myth-busting has never been higher, moving forward together has never mattered more, only then can they finally know if the legacy of the Mandalorians will be worth living. continue in the present or perish forever the community's rescue mission begins as a one-way journey that paves the way for the lone wolf represented once again by the base's recorder to find his lost pup as he did in the frozen caves by maldocreace director peyton reads slowly but surely crushes our heroes in a corner by means of the scariest robots you've seen since wallace and gromit orenson the music becomes violent and mechanical it's the exact opposite of the melodies of the john williams orchestra the inelegant sound of modernization pounding hard and unhindered repetition until nothing remains of the past fermando is a losing battle against his armored and soulless cracked reflection the thing that is stronger than him and not shows restrictions his traditional hunter tools do almost nothing and ingenuity only takes him so far if the dark soldiers were one The jaw that clenches the moth of command, Gideon, is the other what he may lack in strength or combat strength, as it has always had an advantage in manipulation.

The Mandalorian's mythological Excalibur, the Darksaber, a powerful artifact that, if wielded, could unite all Mandalorians and rests between Gideon's fingertips, does not. because the myth of the gun means anything to him except that it gives him control over Bogotá, completely blinded by the painful past incurred by the gun, although it means less to him than saving Grogu. Gideon knows very well what he might really be looking for. Because this child is extremely talented and has been blessed with rare properties that have the potential to return order to the galaxy, but Mando no longer seeks order and no longer responds to his fears.

All he still cares about is keeping the boy safe and he will draw a fierce line in the sand before anyone says otherwise by wielding the best reforged Mandalorian dinger armor scar and fight a battle not of Mandalorian glory but of grogu protection. Gideon fights without grace or mastery, but he is hell-bent on taking command straight to his grave, Mando risks his life one last time and survives, and yet Gideon still wins because Din wields the Darksaber, they don't bogetan where it was won through a combat rite. and mandaloring lore bokotan and din have ignored lore before but the darksaber will be the linchpin that decides how convicted any of them really are in their code if gideon succeeds and this is just one more rule to follow.divide and isolate the Mandalorians, he could crush them forever and if he isn't someone or something else he surely will, the wild west is over, the gunslinger and samurai era of lore and myth will soon cease to be the changing times and certain devastation that will sweep away everything from the past will take with it all the cowboys and outlaws anyway the myth is destined to fade into oblivion or perhaps it is destined for something completely different where fate may once have resigned the myth to the grave fate it was demanding something completely different throughout a myth powerful enough to instill fear in those who would dare erase it a legend someone capable of giving others hope that the myth has not disappeared forever is very much alive and waiting to be accepted The myth will make you face difficulties with careless change and even erase, not all parts will survive those difficulties, but like balance, the command has learned to cultivate the myth can evolve, can change with the times and be the hope that every generation needs in its own battle of good and evil he can even save you all you have to do is open the door you are a jedi i am his name is luke skywalker a jedi like his father before him but more importantly a friend when these gunslingers needed it most this is this is what the mandalorian was asked to find a journey mediated by destiny to the edge of oblivion prophesied in the mandalorian ballad but for din it can no longer be so glamorous since destiny took him all his stability his belongings his way of life and gave him much more, his friends a new perspective and his son grogu, the boy who changed his life, the little green raisin who taught him to stop running from the past to look beyond himself and grow the creature that taught him to be human and now, with the end of his journey, comes the difficult decision, even every Star Wars hero must face, but every mom and dad in the world too, let it go, Don't be afraid, nothing could be scarier, but there is no better way to do it. be free with just a few small steps grogu moves from one myth to another, an incredible intergenerational moment where something new is welcomed with open arms into the bosom of something symbolic and iconic in the pantheon of Star Wars legend, but even more so with The open arms. of myth that can inspire us and move us to be human anyway may the force be with you the future of myth is at stake and will be determined by those called by destiny to guide others forward that future could remain uncertain as always but In In the here and now there is a certainty and a beauty in the legend of the Mandalorian who learned to remove his armor from a gunslinger's odyssey or, however cold, selfish and heartless someone may be, the journey to becoming a self-pitying and open mind.

Sacrifices and vulnerabilities await us, all we have to do is take the journey, this is the path, after 10 to 15 hours of pure happiness, you are rewarded with a baby, but it is not a baby, it is a little old man immersed in 40 roads. Don't you see it's as if Gandhi and Churchill had a son? You know what I'm saying and they delivered it to me. We made contact father son son father he looked me straight in the eyes and peed on me and I realize I'm a father, now stop, crazy boy, you're so ambitious to be youthful, but then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid to do it and there are only so many hours in a day.

The Mandalorian first premiered on November 12, 2019, and ended its first season on December 27, just one day before a thousand-mile road trip that took months for my family and I to complete, literally hours. After watching dinjar and taking off into the unknown, would my mom and I be doing exactly the same thing? Same thing, albeit in a car that was much duller than Razor Ridge, along the US East Coast to my new temporary home in central Florida, the start of a whole new chapter in my life where all the strained relationships broke dreams and traumatic. The baggage I had come to associate with my home state would be far behind me, and while this was the beginning of a new chapter and journey, it wouldn't be the one I expected just as I got a new job at my new connected university. with relatives and started making friends, the Kova 19 pandemic was declared at the end of that march, I lost almost everything I had found in Florida and found myself back behind the wheel of my lick crest to drive a thousand miles back to my parents in Pennsylvania back to the job I was ready to leave behind back to the room that felt more like a protective bunker than a space of comfort and back to the people and places I was ready to leave behind the rest of the year I spent as For many of us it was probably adapting to the circumstances, fighting my time until I could get back into a car and return to my real home in Florida before I knew it.

The Mandalorian returned for its second season and continued Dinjarin's journey months after my own journey was cut short. What followed over the next eight weeks shook me to the core, a story of tragically relatable proportions as the din moved from one unexpected scenario to the next, culminating in an indelible moment of acceptance and growth just as I was beginning to feel happy. . Realizing that despite the many twists and turns my year had taken, I was finally right where I needed to be all along, that despite all the things I tried to run away from before being forced to face them head-on, finally allowed me heal and despite the opportunities I missed.

In Florida I ended up finding a lot more over the next year and a half in Pennsylvania and I don't think I would have been able to find anything without the Mandalorian, because the things they carried, says author Tim O'Brien, the stories can save us. then, after all our other needs are met, stories are what we need most in the world. It's fascinating and maybe a little silly that Star Wars, a franchise primarily for kids, manages to be that story for me over and over again, but it's also not that story. By mistake, when George Lucas finished his fourth draft of Star Wars in 1976, he wanted to tell a story that applied the timeless ideas of Joseph Campbell's monomyth to a distant but identifiable space opera setting where childhood fantasy and ancient mythology merged into one. a cross. -Cultural sandbox, he believed as Campbell believed in cultures around the world, that we all have a destiny that we can ignore if we choose, but ifWe don't do it and follow it, we will discover whatever generation has the privilege to discover. themselves a battle between fear and hope the lifelong choice to be selfish or selfless and give something back to the entire universe is a great adventure and for most of us it will be, but not in the way we might expect , following your destiny is It's not always about blowing up death stars or learning the ways of the force, sometimes it's as sensible as starting a business, building a house, taking a life-changing road trip, and especially raising to a child and know if a spiritual force is really a guide or not.

To put that child on the right path, the very journey to do so is a long and winding one, one that will teach us lessons and change us in ways we cannot anticipate forever, in my opinion, that is ultimately what made the Mandalorian in the global phenomenon and one of the most important television shows of all time, is the perpetual mystery of its main character, the rule of cool, the familiar and attractive mythology well rooted in our cultural psyche and the world, the detention and the tenderness of Baby Yoda, but above all it is the unmistakable humanity that emerges in each adventure, even if you can't see a single human face, it's when you have to leave your child at daycare when you have two jobs and barely earn enough to survive when the group project goes worse. than you can imagine or when your car breaks down, breaks down or pretty much any car problem you may have and of course it is when your child goes to college and embarks on the journey to adulthood that you embark on new because Even if I have never been a parent, guardian or mentor in my young life, I know what it is like to be so mistreated by the world that I closed my mind and my heart so that nothing can ever hurt me. again, but when the day finally came that I had the courage to let go of my fear and let go of the coldness within me, the beautiful privilege of feeling again was magical in itself and now looking back on that journey of The four times I've moved in the last two years, I find the same calmness and genuine hope that many of us, including John Favreau himself, whose son started college immediately after the production of the second season, have projected directly onto the anonymous and silver guardian of the Mandalorian, because if I can believe in the possibility of change for someone like Din, who is to say that we can't all change for the better.

I guess within all of us there is that hero who is on that journey and searching for the connection with the father and with the father in general, the great father, you know, it's all part of why it works and why we care, It's not about x Wings, it's not about the things we decorate in Star Wars, it's important, it's part of its genius, but we react with soul. We don't just want an action movie, we want to feel uplifted and Star Wars is a feel-good adventure. What I like is that it really says that there is a lot of hope out there that fundamentally we want to be good. people who may all be driven to do terrible things but who can persevere through selfless actions with the cutting-edge tools and technology provided by 45-plus years of innovation from george lucas and beyond from favreau filoni and the team at The Mandalorian's galaxy-sized casting wove a myth that's as much a product of previous Jedi Jiki and Star Wars westerns as it is of the kind of storytelling the world needs to hear today.

Star Wars remains a global obsession and an inspiration for the storytellers of tomorrow. but it has also evolved greatly from what it once was, and despite that evolution, the myths our world gravitates toward most today are not always those set in a galaxy far, far away as they were for audiences of 1977. Today, many of us look to myths like Superheroes, men and women, are above the rest and are capable of tackling the enormous unsolvable problems that our globalized culture cannot always solve by itself. Some might be tired of superheroes or see their popularity as a detriment to the stories and myths they have introduced to the world. past, but as the person responsible for the biggest entry in the superhero genre, the inaugural film of the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, John Favreau knows a thing or two about the evolution of myth, myth is designed to the children who are to come.

As adults, we enjoy stories as adults, but storytelling is really about imparting the wisdom of previous generations to children who are becoming adults and giving them context for how to behave and how to learn the lessons of the past without doing anything. mistakes on their own, I mean, that's the hope is that you can teach them how to avoid all the difficulties but still gain all the wisdom, although the past will always be written in stone, the history of the human race in the present and the future It is always in motion and for every generation inspired to look at the myths of the past, comes the opportunity to evaluate what can be learned and what must be left behind.

The western was a great American genre. The superhero movie of its time. today's Western, but many Westerns also romanticized the emotionally damaged loner, glorified racism against Native Americans, featured only men in leadership roles, and cemented the gun as an immovable symbol of patriotic freedom, all ideas that leave an unmissable shadow. In today's American culture, of course, what should it be? and it should not outlast the past is something we stupid little humans would never agree on, but if there is any constant, I dare say we should, it is the very inevitability of change, change in experiences. from jarn in his own life, in his own time, that change is scary and not always good, but resisting change and believing he had all the answers to the universe from the beginning could have been worse for him than the change that was bad when we all took our own hero's journey into who we are. and what we will bring back will be more than what we left behind: finding the courage to face change head-on and, if necessary, adapt to it is as important for us as it was for the riders of the dwindling open stage, the last of the samurai and the generation that raised you if the popularity of the mandalorian let alone disney's bottom dollar is any indication that star wars will surely be around for a while and hell, the mandalorian's story isn't even over yet while favreau and Filoni continued to explore a galaxy sandwiched between two trilogies more than 30 years apart, the team of filmmakers spread across Lucasfilm, from Deborah Chow to Taikawa TD, are set to shape the Star Wars mythology in ways which we may not be able to imagine, but it's certainly an It's an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan and I can't wait to talk to you about this again and I'm looking at all this and wondering what you want me to do, who I'm going to do, what do you want.

He auditioned me for the bug or the robot and he says you're the Mandalorian you're just looking at a blue screen so tell us how to work together and just use your imagination well you need a little bit of that yeah cause we're in not really on a real ship you only have something actually you don't even have a handle I don't think that's where all of us who came after are there but anyway you have to go like this I should try again george but Then I thought about Clint Eastwood. I always thought what Clinton would do if he didn't do anything.

What a revelation when they realize that the Mandalorians are all New Yorkers. Hello everyone, welcome to the end of what has been a very long video, the length of which I hope to never exceed with another video, knock on wood, your reward is this secret video message, I guess, what can I say guys, thank you, thank you a hundred times? for supporting this video by watching it from start to finish, it really means a lot, you know, having something to say and then having an audience that wants to hear what you have to say, is not something I accept.

For granted at all, this video took four months to make, it took me over 300 hours to make, there were ups and downs throughout the entire process, there were points where I didn't know if the video would come together in certain areas or if I would have to compromise in any way. significant way, but where we ended up is something that I'm very proud of and my sincere hope is that you know that you had a good time watching this video and that you connected. with it in some way, whether you're someone who's seen me for the tenth time or this is the first time you've seen me, you've spent a good two hours, that being said, you probably saw it on the screen a minute or two ago. but now we're on patreon which is very exciting something I've wanted to do for a while I just didn't want to do it until the time was right but now I think you can go to the description below and find the link or you can go to patreon.com.

Slash our tour gifts and there are three different tiers with different rewards associated with them. One thing, I can tell you a Patreon highlight that I'm looking forward to recording over the next few weeks there will be a series of behind the scenes comments on all of my previous videos including the cloners videos including the last of this video including this video and which will include any videos I make in the future that they will be behind. scene commentary for I think mid level, I know, behind the scenes commentary for a youtube video doesn't sound like the most exciting thing in the world, which I would probably be okay with that, but you know, like I said before These videos take many months to make and with this video especially, there are some stories to tell that I would love to share with you on Patreon, so please consider supporting me there.

Any donations you receive will go towards some projects further afield. but mainly any support I receive on Patreon will go towards the next video which of course is about Mass Effect 3. I've made you wait long enough for that video and I apologize this video had to come out first and uh what. I'll tell you this actually, um, before I even wrote the script for this video, I actually wrote the script for the Mass Factory video. I'm going to revisit it sometime in the next couple of weeks and I'll probably end up changing a few things here and there, you know?

That happens when you haven't touched something in a while, you revisit it later, you say hmm, you know I could edit it or edit it, but what it should hopefully mean is that the process of publishing the video has sped up. largely by having a script almost ready, that really literally cuts the process of publishing it in half, so instead of having to wait three or four months like the wait was for this video, it will be one or two months. that's what I hope and things can always go wrong, but yeah, so support that project on patreon and at least take this video as a demonstration of what to expect, it's going to be amazing, it's going to be amazing.

It's going to be a really fun time, so guys, um, without saying all that, thank you so much for watching one last time, follow me on Twitter at Parks Harmon, follow me on Parksharman Instagram, uh, you can follow me on twitch, twitch.tv, slash diagonal, saitor instead of artor. uh I think this week uh in fact, I recently bought the uh ucs lego mos eisley cantina uh and I'm thinking I might build it on Twitch, it could be a lot of fun to do, uh, so you know, feel free to follow us, tune in, we can have fun building legos together or you know more it's me who builds the legos but we'll have fun talking about it while I build it sorry uh and uh other than that thank you to all the content creators who had music that I used in this video uh yours talents brought something to this project that I couldn't have done on my own it really means a lot uh and also thanks to nordvpn for sponsoring this video one last time those guys are great uh you can.
