While I love me some Baby Yoda, episode one of The Mandalorian's new season was a slow recap that retconned some weird stuff. Having seen Episode 2, entitled "The Mines of Mandalore" I now think the Filoni/Favreau team was messing with us! — Read the rest
I enjoyed the new season of The Mandalorian's first episode, but nothing particularly exciting happened and the story not only failed to advance but just repeated relevant parts of season 2 to make sure we saw fan-favorite characters and KNEW WHAT WE MUST. — Read the rest
Pedro Pascal has been on quite the run lately. HBO Max is only halfway through his new hit series, The Last of Us, based on the acclaimed video game of the same name, and the streaming service has already greenlit a second season. — Read the rest
The Mandalorian is the crown jewel of the Star Wars franchise in the world of television and film. After the polarizing reception Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy and Solo: A Star Wars Story received, the company decided to retreat to television to rehabilitate the brand. — Read the rest
Baby Yoda remains the cutest member of a pretty insane cast of cute Star Wars monsters. I have pre-ordered this solar-powered, waving The Child as a gift for my child's coming 16th birthday.

Leggo my Baby Yoda!
Kellogg's legendary frozen waffle brand Eggo is home to a cross-over waffle from the Star Wars universe: Galactic Homestyle. Perhaps the formulation is different but they look pretty Eggo to me, however, instead of a traditional waffle pattern, Mando-waffles will come imprinted with Mando and Baby Yoda. — Read the rest
From The Washington Post:
— Read the rest"I am the Maskalorian, giver of masks," the figure says in his first public appearance, in the summer of 2020. "Whether you're a human or a droid, it doesn't matter. We must be vigilant and do what we can to keep each other protected."
If we've become accustomed to anything in the past 19 months, it's sitting in the house like hermits waiting for whatever it is that dumb people are keeping around finds the exit (looking at you, Delta variant). While you're here, you might as well get some new gaming gear for yourself as a treat for staying socially distant, even if it wasn't by choice (or maybe it was by luxury, since you're hyperaware of how gross humans on the outside are). — Read the rest
Face masks with bendable "Baby Yoda" ears, big ears, "Scooby Doo" ears, and elf ears (and more!) are available from Kikimora Studio, a "High Fashion Circus" entertainment company in Miami, Florida. If you're wondering how a layer of spandex will keep the coronavirus at bay, you'd probably better off with a N95 or KN95 mask. — Read the rest
"We Live In a Golden Age of Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets" touts a recent headline in the Wall Street Journal. The article cites new research from NielsenIQ that shows frozen chicken nugget sales up nearly 20% so far this year, breaking $1 billion in revenue. — Read the rest
Here are the delightfully self-aware (but a little too long for an intro) lyrics:
— Read the restVERSE 1
Here's a man in an Beskar suit
Who's a walking armory
Bounty hunting to just make do
In the gig economy
His name is on the show
But we know who the star is
(space flute)
This puppet who's adorable and green
Turned out to be a tiny cash machine
VERSE 2
Through the dustiest worlds he rides
Kicking ass and slinging guns
Like a mystery cowboy type
Hate to say, it's all been done
He's just Clint Eastwood with
A much sweatier hat
(space flute)
These references like No Name Trilogy
Go on and on like CVS receipts
John Wayne as well but that's a deeper one
His grandson does a lot of Mando's stunts (fun!)
If you pay for a Disney+ subscription, watch it over at a pal's house, use someone else's log-in credentials or torrent, you're likely already aware: the second season of The Mandalorian will be out there and ready to watch on October 30th. — Read the rest
Ludwig Göransson goes in front of the camera in this moody video of him performing his theme song for The Mandalorian in the studio and out in nature.
It's not a good week to be Prince Andrew. (Was it ever?)
Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's alleged under-age sex ring "madam" has stabbed him in the back, spilling the beans about the Prince's romps with sex slaves.
He's under guard by his own security team, with orders from the Queen to stop him fleeing the country. — Read the rest
Baby Yoda.
Disney's The Mandalorian is the contemporary Star Wars production people actually like and has already wriggled deep into the folds of pop culture. Much of the meme-orializing centers on "Baby Yoda", of course, but the show pays tribute to westerns in depth and that's what's honored in this handsome edit by Kingkida. — Read the rest
On Black Magic Craft, Jeremy usually builds scenery for tabletop fantasy and sci-fi gaming. But, inspired by his new 3D resin printer, he decided to create something just for fun.
Given the Nerdisphere's current obsession with The Mandalorian, he settled on a Mandalorian and baby Yoda diorama. — Read the rest
I must have this Baby Yoda!
I want to see what happens when an incredibly powerful force user is raised by a person who disintegrates car thieves.
My only complaint is that it doesn't end with "And introducing Baby Yoda as…THE CHILD!"
Nothing has ever spoken to me like this 80's version intro for #TheMandalorian. Nothing. ???

Have you seen the new Christmas "movie" that United Airlines recently released? It's called "Love in Plane Sight" and on the United YouTube channel, you can watch what they call the "Full Film," which makes it sound like you're actually about to dive into a movie, but in fact, it's a not-quite-six-minute "rom-com short," featuring everything you love to hate (or just hate) about every cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie. — Read the rest
