JNHFan2000 1,561 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Chapter 17  Loved the episode. It is very much a set-up for the rest of the season, but it has some great stuff in here.  There 2 really cool fight scenes. The one at the beginning reminded me a bit of the creature fight in Ep. 1 of S2. And I thought it was a flashback until suddenly Mando arrived on his ship. That was very cool. Then the ship chase in the asteroid field. It had some vibes of the Obi-Wan/Jango chase from AOTC, which was really cool. I love how fast Mando's ship is now and that he can makes those fast turns and hide behind things. It was really cool.  It was great seeing both Carl Weathers & Katee Sackhoff again. Both characters in a very different state of mind. And it was fun to see all the easter eggs: the Babu Frick aliens and all the other aliens in Nevarro, IG-11 (which will probably have a bigger role in the season) & the hyperspace creatures from Rebels!!!  I really loved parts of Andor, but this to me feels really like Star Wars and I'm so happy it's back.  As for Shirley's score.. it was incredible. There's a lot lf reworking of Göransson's main theme whenever Mando is on screen, but it's incredibly well done that it doesn't bother me. I'm sure Shirley will get to comppse so cool new stuff for the series. And how I wish we got episodic albums again for this season, but I'm afraid that won't be the case. I at least hope it'll be more music than the Season 2 albums Andy and DarthDementous 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ren 514 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Great first episode! I really liked the baptism rite at the beginning, and for a moment there I thought it was a flashback of Din Djarin's ceremony. It was great seeing Nevarro again, but in such a different way, and it really makes it feel like a new era is starting, after the darkness and grittines of the empire era we saw in the previous two seasons in the planet. I love the detail of IG-11's statue and I guess the droid will become more important during the season, since Mando wants to bring him back online. Â The space chase was so fun, and the pirate lord looks menacing but also a bit corny, and I hope we get to see a bit more of the pirates in live action, since I really liked those parts in the animation shows. Bo Katan looks great, and I think the conflict that will arise between her and Mando, and the fight over Mandalore is going to be one of the highlights of the season. Â As for the music, Joseph Shirley did a great job continuing Goransson's sounds and motifs, and there were a couple of cool moments here and there that I hope they make it onto the album. I wish we could get a weekly release, but I guess they will just stick with the two volume releases like with Mando S2 and Book of Boba Fett. Â Anyway, in case anyone is interested, I will also be doing a short write-up on the music of each episode, just like I did with House of the Dragon and the Rings of Power, so feel free to check it out in here: 3x01: Chapter 17 - The Apostate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 2,822 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 OK. The pirates looked like cursed creatures from Pirates of the Caribean and the story is a mess as usual. But this episode was the most cinematic episode of The Mandalorian. The images are great. And the score is easily the best so far (which is not so hard). Looking forward to what is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron007 32 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the opening was a flashback. I'm starting to think that was intentional. Â It was nice to see the shadow of the purrgill, making their live action debut. Â Nevarro looks GORGEOUS, almost like something out of LOTR. To think it used to be Mos Eisley 2.0. As Mando says, "It doesn't even look like the same place". Â I hope Weathers gets more to do this season than in Season 2. And it was interesting to hear them explain away Carano's absence. Â The Babu Frik aliens had me chuckling. But why did Greef Karga need to translate? Did Mando really have that much trouble understanding them? Â Did Koska Reeve abandon Bo-Katan as well? Or was she just off somewhere else? Â Shirley's music stood out to me most during the asteroid chase (and a bit during the opening). I did appreciate how he manipulated the theme throughout.

Andy 2,526 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Anyone get the impression the jerky movement of IG-11 was an intentional homage to the Endoskeleton stop motion at the climax of The Terminator?

Popular Post Groovygoth666 204 Posted March 3 Popular Post Share Posted March 3 Really surprised by the praise for this episode. Â While visually everything looked great, overall this episode was all over the place. Â Firstly we're shown a recap of how IG-11 died, by self detenting a grenade in his chest. But later when Din insists on using him for reasons, and it absolutely has to be him, the only part that survived was his chest.....the part that exploded......um what? Â How does time work in this series? It seems every time we come back to Nevarro it has drastically developed. Even IG-11's statute has somehow oxidized. Â How would getting a new memory unit for IG-11 be any different than just using another droid? He's been reset to the original programming, by putting in a new memory unit would he still not be the reprogrammed version? Â Why does Din even need a droid? He believes that it's possible to go to the surface of Mandalore, so what difference does it make? Â Also confused about Death Watch. In the Clone War's they were a terrorist group, believing the strongest should lead Mandalore and the leader should wield the Dark Saber. Since then they've become more of a cult, creating new rules for being Mandalorian, the obvious being about removing their helmets, which was no problem before, so why is it a big thing for them now?
