If only there was a moderator around who could split this argument out from a sci-fi thread ... :-) 

That did occur to me, but it'd be bad form for me to do it and I didn't want to wake the others up...

haha - fair, fair

So, Favreau is now saying he's too busy to recast. Pascal is moving to Last of Us...

Pascal mostly does voice work for the Mandalorian as it's a stunt guy in the suit quite often.

He's doing Last of Us as well. Not instead.

He was physically in the suit a lot more in Season 2.

Interestingly the stunt guy who is in the suit was John Wayne's grandson ..

But Pascal is prioritising Last of Us - so if schedule's clash he'll not be doing the Mandalorian first

Maybe they'll change the star to Emily Swift

They weren't rushing to make Mando S3 in the first place, a lot of other shows on the slate, so plenty of time for Pascal to pursue other projects.

Most of us haven't even seen Wonder Woman 1984 yet, and he is in that.

Yeah, but my point is he doesn't need to be, and wasn't happy about doing so with a helmet on by all accounts anyway.

He's the only good thing in it, tbh - don't get your hopes up!

I've heard many bad things, its pushing me towards a blu ray not 4k copy - but might even just rent it...

I would recommend not paying money for it.

He could literally “dial it in” in his spare time.

Awful film and the only one to come out of it with any kudos is .....  errr?
Nobody.
They set the bar too high with the first one and this one is a full on little kids film.
But back to The Mandalorian or is it the virtue signalling thread now? I’ve forgotten.

Season 3 EP1 is live.

Good fun too. Watched it while I had breakfast.

Me too, although I really hope space blackbeard isn't going to be the main bad guy for the season..

Nice little reference to Rebels in the first 5 mins once he left the armourer, I guess its hinting toward the Asoka series.

A new series is kinda cool. Then I realised that I can’t remember a damn thing about series 2 (or 1). Not sure if that’s a reflection of the program or maybe age

…the bit about Belters mining asteroids…
someone at Disney has evidently been watching “The Expanse” on Amazon Prime. Can’t say I blame them; but really?

…and wasn’t the space pirate captain just taken directly out of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and given some green hair spray.

I’ve really enjoyed “The Mandalorian” up till now but that was a bit shit.

I was actually pretty convinced they based the Space Pirate Captain on the Ghost Pirate LeChuck from Monkey Island..... which is also owned by Disney.
