The Mandalorian Has A BIZARRE Theme 

The Mandalorian is back with season 3 episode 1 on Disney Plus and well, it's more Mandalorian. If you liked the previous seasons, you'll like this it's very much more of the same (without Cara Dune). Odd long sections of nothing happening for a 33ish minute episode but it does have a crocodile fight, blasters and a space battle in it. Although the script left a lot to be desired and a lot of this feels like a vehicle for Baby Yoda merch. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

I think the biggest mistake this show made was keeping grogu in it. The mandalorian should've delivered the child to Luke, and carried on being a badass bounty hunter with his own unique stories. They could even make a separate show set in the future about grogu all grown up as a kickass Jedi.

I’m still gobsmacked that that little green puppet cost FIVE MILLION DOLLARS to fabricate. Adjusted for inflation, Jabba the Hutt, a more convincing animatronic from FORTY YEARS AGO, cost only two million. Let that sink in.

How it started: Cold, calculating killer, goes on a personal mission to do what's right for a literal infant. How it's going: The armor man and baby show, where the armor man takes a baby to gun fights for no reason (merch), see what wacky hijinks they get into this week!

I totally thought the beginning was a flashback to din becoming a mandalorian... until he came swooping in to save the day!

They made a kid-sized helmet that he’s never supposed to take off. That’s gonna hurt in a couple years.

Karga: "You and the little one can settle down here. We have plenty of space -:you can have Cara Dune's old house." Mando: "Where's she?" Karga: "...we don't talk about that "

Disney only deserves to be watched through reviews now, Disparu Mandalorian is good enough for me.

It’s sad that my thought process is “if half the episodes are decent I’ll be content”. Makes me realize how modern content has gotten so bad that my expectations are almost nonexistent. Edit: I actually paid attention to the comments and did not watch the new season. My wife had Disney plus and I made her cancel it on 4/3/2023 to save face.

I miss how old movie from the 1990s had like 30 seconds of credits, main cast, producers, film crew leads, prop maker firm, studio name done. The disney/marvel/starwar 5-10 min credit is getting looooong

The target lock scene with the wildly missing lasers from the capital ship is such an analogy for Disney trying to entertain fans (or anyone).

"He fired her because she was speaking too much sense on Twitter" - Disparu Based 100%

That bit when they introduced 'new merchandising opportunity' at the robot repair shop.

Just to note about forges, it takes alot more fuel to bring a forge up to temperature than it is to maintain forging temperature. That's why forges are left burning like that. Do I think Disney knows that....hell no. I think they just got lucky! 🤣

I love these reviews of TV shows I have no intention of watching! You just make your reviews so darned entertaining I can’t resist. 😁

I like how as opposed to mandalorians of the past, the new recruits have absolutely no way to redeem themselves... because the mando's of today are still running the same old rules, which involve places that to their knowledge are fubar and unaccessible. Not updating procedures is apparently "the way ":D

This show seems to be suffering right out of the gate from terrible writing… and my first thought is… He needs a new ship, it’s not my main problem but it is a significant problem he is a bounty hunter with a fighter instead of something that can carry his gear and supplies and possibly bounties… And then he need someone to rewrite the script… but definitely the ship thing Edit Dash I take it back… I watched more of this and it’s definitely the writing… The writing is the biggest problem, the ship thing can wait

Ah Disparu's summaries - the only way I can get entertainment from Disney products these days. Keep on keeping on mate!

I want to point out that all their jetpacks have missiles on them and one of them couldn't think of using the missiles that they have on their backs lol. Even how does it take so long for mando to put down one broken robot but it took one shot in the first episode of season one lol.

I think your targeting computer on that capital ship MIGHT be wonky. I get that pirates are not known for their diligent practice and training but DAMN. And it would have been so stupidly easy to make the Nitro button work. Just have the ship blasters all line up on Mando because they are on the same targeting lock and just an instant before they fire, he punches the Nitro and all the bolts pass through where he WAS instead of where he IS. Seriously, I'm pretty sure ChatGT is directing this show.

A robot dragging itself one armed across a floor, where's Sarah Conner when you need her?

The Mandalorian feels like a video game with too many side quests and not enough main plot

“If you switch your brain off some scenes are fine” the gold standard for Disney these days

Who holds coming of age ceremonies in a lake infested with giant crocodiles immune to lasers and explosives? Who thinks of an assassin robot as his friend? Who walks around in enough curtains to equip a music hall? And who brings a baby to a gunfight with pirates?

I guarantee you that Cara Dune was 'recruited by Special Forces' so that they can change her face for an undercover op, hiring a new actress

I’ve never understood how in Season 1 Ep. 1, Mando shoots I-G in the head once and completely obliterates his head. Season 3 Ep. 1 shoots I-G 50,000 times and not even a scratch.

I’m still pissed baby’s Yoda is back so soon, I’m not falling for the cuteness, when this season should’ve started with him on his own and slowly get them back together that’s the story, but it’s done so we gotta move on😢 oh well hopefully this season is good and not shit like OBIWAN or boba fart

They Hyperspace whale things are introduced in the Rebels animated series. Ezra communicates with them through the Force, and it gets used in the final confrontation.

For as long as we been waiting for it I was expecting more than 36 minutes with credits.

you just came up with a brilliant marketing idea, Grogu shaped rugby balls!

I mean Mando hates (at least hated) droids why would he be good at fixing them? 16:37

The giant space squid were introduced in the Rebels TV show and it's extremely rare for someone to see them. They play a major part in Rebels' main character, Ezra Bridger's story and they are most definitely going to lead up to reintroducing that character. That will probably happen in the Ahsoka series, but they are laying down a few breadcrumbs now, already. I'm sure they'll explain more about the space squid and how rarely they are seen as the narrative goes on, for those who don't already know about them from Rebels, while they are a signal for those who have seen Rebels that Ezra Bridger will be returning.

"It just makes me want another Gremlins movie." Careful what you wish for, man. We don't wish upon a star anymore. Now it's on a monkey's paw.

The creatures in Hyperspace are the Purrgil. These were shown in Rebels and will be important in the Ahsoka show.

She was making the bowl for the water, not the helmet in that scene.

Gotta love that Swamp Thing cameo lol

8:10 "Aww! Lookit the dangling keys! Look how they jingle jangle when I give them a shake!"

I remember reading one of the Solo twin books. And in it they have to fight that same assassin droid. And it is a very famous assassin droid for one particular reason. Because there are multiple copies of it. If one is destroyed, another one in a secret location somewhere in the universe will be activated. And still go after the target that it was sent to assassinate. And the reason why it's in a secret location is because the person who made the droid was some type of mad crazy scientist person who went out of their way to develop one of the most perfect assassin droids. And we'll keep coming after it's target to the Target is dead and the bounty is complete or the bounty has been canceled. Destroying one will only stop it for a few months as the replacement will make its way to you. So they are acting as if in this show that this is the only one of it kind and that they only really added it in because they showed it in one of the Star wars movies. Empire strikes back and put it in there for nostalgia reasons without understanding any of the lore behind it. You would think that Disney would have kept the extended universe and all that other stuff. Because all that would have required them do is read a shitload of books. Watch some stuff online. And they probably be able to come up with much better original stories and adapt extended universe stories for this stuff. But they didn't. They decided to hire cheap writers who don't know how to write anything. And decided to get rid of all the extended universe. I guess Disney doesn't want to be crediting other people and has to pay them royalty money instead of them getting all the money. Personally I think they would have been better off keeping the extending universe and having better stories to rely on and they would have been seen a lot more viewership and stuff.

I always wondered how the armored can say he isn't mandolorian anymore, despite him having the dark saber which could unite all the mandolorians under him, as mandolore. ( if I understand the lore properly )

Mexican Stand-off is three people with their guns all pulled and pointed at each other. What those two were doing was a simple pistol duel, Old West style. In my defense, I waited til you said it the second time before I started furiously typing on my keyboard

How long would the episode have been if Baby Yoda was not in season 3?

Cara Dune has been tasked with returning Princess Leia home, but she's been running into tree branches the last 18 months. There's no telling when she'll be back.

I passed knight of the old republic 2 months ago and I Learned that the maladnorie use high level tactics when fighting monster they know it'll need multiple people to take down and that they do it as effectively as they can so they don't waste man or struggle as much but since this Is disney here they dont bother with the lore .. .

The morbidly brave joke earned you the thumbs up.

Baby Yoda is the only thing making Disney money!!!😂😂😂

I mean the other thing to bring up about the crocodile monster that had to be brought up is that this is the planet where the mandolorians are making their armor that means they would know about these creatures on the planet and because they are also mandolorians there would be some kind of rituals where they defeat them.

Exactly what I wanted this year. 2 shows where pedro pascal carries around his annoying sidekick and does absolutely nothing for about half the season.

8:52-8:59 "Have a kid of your own. It will last longer." -Disparu 🤣

27:32 on the topic of Mandalore being progressive and leaving behind its culture. During the Clone Wars, Mandalore's leader at the time was actively trying to put behind all the old warrior traditions and become a pacifist culture. Something good ole Bo here apposed too. Was even complicit in the actions that led to the death of said leader (her Sister by the way) and left Mandalore uner the rule of Maul. To which after the brief civil conflict, she tried to organise and unite the Mandalorians. Which by evidence of this show and Rebels means she has failed twice to do so. So, in summary, giving the context of D cannon she is talking a whole lot of bullocks.

Those creatures in hyperspace with the same creatures that were in the last episode of Star Wars Rebel hinting at Ezra from what it looks like.

The way you explained the politics of Mandalore, sounds like woke politics in Hollywood.

I wonder if that's what happened with the inquisitor with the umbrella hat from Obi-Wan. Maybe he started out with a helmet, but it really wanted to go flat again.

I see it as a metaphor for Star Wars today. Like Mandalore, it's been destroyed and stolen from it's rightful inhabitants, and we have to take it back.

22:58 The pirate leader is a Nikto, the others from left to right are Weequay, Nickto, Trandoshan, Klatooinian and the squid fellow is a Quarren. In the Return of the Jedi the figure was called a squid head. Sorry just had to nerd splurge.

This show is called "Plot Armor Man and his sidekick All-You-Can-Eat".

I think it did its job. I got what I wanted out of it and look forward to next week. I got used to the pace of Andor, so there was a little bit of adjustment needed. I got board with this latest season of Bad Batch so hopefully this will keep me more engaged.

the name Grogu makes me think the writers just stole the name of baby Roger from American dad and slightly changed it with one letter

26:14 When Disney gets a new Star Wars fan

I would've actually been interested in this season if grogu wasn't in it. Even though s1 and s2 weren't great, I enjoyed them. The firing of Gina is what made me leave d+

That comment about "aprostate" would make a Disparu Dragon Age Playthrough amazing watch.

I always thought old Yoda looked the way he did at least partly because he was so old.

That MIB coffee scene… I just love it😄 19:28

After episode 3 of the Book of Boba Fett, I finally gave up on Disney Star Wars. It took seeing that garbage to be convinced that no one there cared. When I heard that baby yoda was back with the Mandolorian, I was somehow not surprised and also disappointed. It felt like they had no confidence in his story going forward if the puppet wasnt waddling about in half the scenes.

"Oh I need that droid part as he is the only one I trust to go to Mandalore with me, better go get that. Nah forget that I'll go join this woman instead even though I know I wont be accepted by her". Do they even look at their previous scenes? No cohesion at all.

I heard that baby yoda was not supposed to be in this series that CEO and probably KK wanted him in to protect her cannon and probably Sabotage his work again

Andor may have started slower than the Mandalordian, but it did so to great effect.

I like your review but you left one point out ig-11 self-destructed which in my mind means that it would have destroyed his memory most likely first to make them unrecoverable and I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure he said this himself in the first season so how the F are they going to just bring him back because he's good for Merch ridiculous

8:34 if I'm not mistaken, EFAP literally said this at the end of their last episode on BOBF. If they remember, they're gonna laugh their asses off

"Oh look, there's a giant crocodile monster thing!" "Bugger, I guess we'd best delay the ceremony for a bit until it swims away." ... "Tell me again why we still blacksmith stuff in this age of technological wonders?" Wow! I was led to believe this series was ok. But the only reason why I wouldn't call that horse sh_t is because it stinks too much.

I've only recently discovered this channel... But your appearance on *Drinker: After Hours* didn't went unnoticed. Good video btw.

So, in conclusion, the most important plot point this year is: "How will the show's quality be blamed on someone other than JonFav this time?

Just caught the drinker live stream and I’m gonna toss in my vote for you to watch Boba Fett. Do it 😂 it’s pure Disparu gold.

L'd-MAO at your target lock capital ship bit! Cannot believe I didn't catch that when I watched it.

I actually loved the first episode but if you’re gonna roast it, I’m still here for it lol. Let’s GO Disparu

At 6:06 Din D'jarin should should be called the Merchandorian or Mantelorian.

This was absolutely fantastic- well done mate

I think I've solved it.. the inability to hit a barn door at 3 paces problem that is. It's stormtrooper pink-eye. It must get very hot and unpleasant in their helmets, sooo their prone to eye infections. Which also explains why Mando can't hit a barn (droid) door either. Obviously because Stormtrooper pink-eye is extremely contagious

I love how they turned mandalorians into generic stupid stormtroopers.

Hey, man. Hilarious as always. Really appreciate your closing too! It felt like you were giving it its due. Disney isn't so deserving, but I'm sure many of the crew on the project are. It's also a good look for you. Keep it up, sir

I hope this season does better than the Book of Boba Fett.

the only thing left out in the last dialogue was something like "you and your cult abandoned our planet yelling Make mandalore great again", but I suppose someone thought it a little bit too obvious

Honestly, fans should organize to make their own content. Literal fanfiction, at this point, would probably be automatically better than the industry standard.

13:45 -- Strange Serendipity, I was watching a video on another unrelated channel not even 2 hours ago, and one of the points the video raised was the subtle homoeroticism of "Nightmare on Elm Street 2". But yeah.

I do wonder how much thought goes into space battles for shows like this. So space in my mind should use real life navy or air force for it's manoeuvres and traits of ships/aircraft. I feel it adds a glint of realism to make stuff more believable. For instance capital ships of different classes should different positives and negatives. Say the ship in this episode is a representation of an aircraft carrier then it's positives are access to a large number of fighters or bombers but the downside of that is a lack of firepower and being slow moving. What the scene should done is instead of having the capital ship use the threat of target lock and blowing up Mando with it's firepower. Change it instead to be that the pirate leader launches a dozen more ships in response to attempt to capture or kill him. It makes logically sense and you don't have to rely on the constant missing supposed target locked laser trope. Small change doesn't effect the plot in any way and you can still have your hero overcome or escape it. Of course the lasers from the fighters are going to miss but you can show diving, pitching, rolling from Mando to dodge them instead of the weapons being forced to miss.

I'm still confused how no-one knows the state of Mandalore... It's not like travelling for another planet is hard in the setting

Hated this first epp. It’s a fetch quest within a fetch quest. It’s like the bad batch.

Well, hey, that pirate guy... good to see Sarris got more work...

I like season 1 overall and most of season 2 worked, even if it was very formulaic feeling, with the BoB episode being great. I feel like season 3 needed to be more character or story driven to really justify its existence. This feels like more of the same and it’s a fun distraction at best but nothing of substance.

Mando watched the prequels. Anakin: I should try spinning. That's a good trick.

Oh, snap! S3 E1 of Mando is out already. Goes to show how little I care about SW now.

"The 'healthy at any size' of the land", thank you *very* much. "MERCH! Baby Yoda! Baby Yoda in a spin-aroundable chair! Baby Yoda holding a...what is that, a Skittles? Do we have that product placement deal nailed down? And WHAT is Voldemort doing in here dressed as Jack Sparrow?!""

Mando as a show kinda feels like a wish knock off of the OG Star Wars. You can pretty quickly tell it’s not as good but it’s got a lot of the veneer and some of the tone correct. However, mileage will definitely vary from person to person.

Pg. 13, Oesterle's data Dialectic, "aims to order our concepts we express in words." and doctrine on signs "...helps us to clarify the relation of words, concepts, and things." And this belongs to the first operation, or simple apprehension, as it is traditionally called, "The logic of the first operation of the intellect is concerned with objects as apprehended simply." This can be "confusedly"( known "as a kind whole that we name") or "distinctly"( known "through several concepts ordered in such as to express the determination of the same object in a distinctly"). In the latter, thus setting it off more sharply from other objects. This is what we achieve in defining. A definition will be composed of two or more concepts expressed in words, each of which can be predicated of one and the same simple object now being defined. But we must have the right words, for not any word will do; some words, in particular, are more appropriate than others for defining. An essential predication (“Man is an animal”) is more telling than an accidental one (“Man is white” ). "Now the several relations which refer these concepts or words to what they are said of are called predicables." (Name or word is here divided by the significance with respect to the subject) Thus we notice in some cases that what is said of one thing can likewise be said of another quite different

New favorite series, no not the momolorian but disparu's review of it

Shouldn't a warrior cult in a galaxy with technology way more advanced than we do, have tactical mini nukes? They should have tactical nukes the size of a mini gumball. Just toss it in the croc's mouth, and explode it from the inside

The show was sad when compared to what it could have been. A real come down from the last episode of Season 2. Having said that it wasn't terrible, which isn't saying much. But it's better than any other Disney offering in recent memory.

Unrelated, but people in Australia refer to the thing underneath the feet as the 'ground', not the 'floor'. A thing I've noticed with UK . I would love to know how that came about.

Mandalorian writers: how much baby yoda do you want Disney? Disney: YES

METAL DOUBTFIRE!!! I'd watch that. It sounds awesome. Just imagine the scene where Grogu mis-behaves and Doubtfire shouts "Behave or I'll disintergrate your sister!!". Then he kicks the little Turd like the football he, so obviously, is.

I've seen that exact pirate alien in Star Trek ... 🤣
