I mean, the Pykes could also reasonably be employing Cad:oldeyes:
yall were right!
Cad looks pretty terrifying in live action(it's most probably because of the teeth, I think they changed em up a bit).
I am really looking forward to a Boba and Cad duel, which we will most probably get in the season finale!

I really enjoyed watching the training montage. So many details, even stuff like Luke's little front-flip c.f. ESB. The Order 66 flashback was dope. At first I thought one of the Jedi was Cin Drallig, but watching it back I don't think that's the case.

The duel at the end was really well shot too. Cad's face looked a little bit round, but boy did the prosthetics team do a good job with the look. Same goes for Luke; de-aging tech these days is insane!

Here's hoping that Grogu does the smart thing and continues his training.
Oh, and I really hope Fett goes full beast-mode in the last ep. None of his appearances have yet matched his introduction v. stormtroopers in the Mandalorian, IMO.

Yeah, Bill Burr had some insane acting chops in that imperial cafeteria scene
I agree. And I think that scene is one of the most powerful I've seen in Star Wars, actually.
For a short period they went a bit "Stanley Kubrick" there, I'd say.
And that scene seems to be praised highly by fans in general (I post the scene in a spoiler below):

The Mandalorian - Mayfeld: "How 'bout a toast to Operation Cinder?"


And here's a funny interview with Bill Burr (who initially actually didn't like Star Wars very much) in which he praises the professionalism when filming The Mandalorian (at 2:45 and onwards, please note there is also some foul language in the interview :smile:):

I had some real mixed feelings about this one. There were some moments I really, really liked: the bit when Fett and Mando blasted into the air and started unloading on those poor Pykes, the sequence with Fett wreaking King-Kong-style havoc on the Rancor, and the short scene near the end when Shand assassinates the rival faction leaders one by one.

But I can't help but feel a fair bit underwhelmed? I get that Cad Bane's grown old and all, but all he really got were three nearly identical stand-off set pieces before being unceremoniously disposed of. In the end I was rooting for Bane to win, in the hopes that this was just a tease for a larger conflict in a future episode. I thought the sequence with the Droideka-thingys was silly: half the episode seemed like the heroes and the Free-Town-ers were just shooting at the shields to no avail. And overall I didn't feel any tension or actual desperation?

Maybe I'm being a little bit too critical... all things considered, I still enjoyed the show (even if the ending was a bit lack-lustre).

I agree! the whole bit with the Droideka's was imo pointless(maybe they just needed a reason to bring out the Rancor), also after the first interaction between Cad and Fett, Cad just walked away! what was he doing during the whole ep?! In their second interaction I was really rooting for Cad, I thought he might loose but he will get away, as he always does.

I really wish it was Cad in the bacta tank instead of Cobb Vanth(hope you watched the post credit scene), but that would have never happened. I just want more of live action Cad bane😭

But all things considered the show was fun, and I look forward to season 2 & season 3 of mando

Yeah, that one of the the trippiest bits. Paraphrasing:

bane: "let the spice flow"
fett: "no"
bane: "okay have a nice day" [leaves]

As far as I know, it's a limited series (of six hour-long episodes). Unless it's insanely successful, doesn't seem like there'll be more. :olduhh:
