"The Mandalorian" stills, the first close-up of "Baby Yoda" in the play
So far, "The Mandalorian" has been online for two episodes, and viewers still know very little about this new character. However, "Star Wars fans" may still be grateful to the show’s creator Jon Feiru (a total of 6 episodes in the first season were the writers of the editor, including the first two episodes), assuming it was created by "Star Wars Father" George Lucas dominates the show. Perhaps the audience will never have a chance to know what it is, because Lucas’s style over the years has always been a bit of mystery.

Judging from the information disclosed in the play, this child belongs to the species, compared with other creatures in the Star Wars universe, their aging rate is surprisingly slow. At the end of the first episode, the audience and the protagonist in the play learned an amazing fact at the same time-the baby who was still in swaddling clothes was already 50 years old. The information disclosed in the second episode of
is even more exciting for "Star Wars fans", because this "baby Yoda" who looks exactly like Master Yoda, he also has the original power, at least he has the ability to move objects. .
"Baby Yoda" in the story line of
"The Mandalorian" also gave some clues, for example, a "client" asked to arrest the child. The official timeline of "The Mandalorian" also shows that this "Baby Yoda" is not the famous Master Yoda in the Star Wars movies, so who would he be?
still needs to find the answer from the official timeline of "The Mandalorian". According to the setting, the story of the show takes place in the movie "Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi" (Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi, 1983) About 5 years after the end, that is, after the fall of the empire, before the appearance of the First Legion, the story took place in the outer star belt of the Milky Way far away from the control of the New Republic.
Luke and Master Yoda
viewers who have watched "Return of the Jedi" will remember such a plot-in the period of separation from Luke Skywalker, the 900-year-old Master Yoda faded away. Before he died, he revealed to Luke that there was another Skywalker. Then Master Yoda emerged, and he merged with the Force.
Assuming that the story of "The Mandalorian" does not involve crossing (this possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being, although this possibility is very low), then this 50-year-old "Baby Yoda" should not be Master Yoda himself. But minus 50 years, this point of time has become very interesting. In the Star Wars movies, "Baby Yoda" was born earlier than "Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom" (Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace, 1999). So he may be the crystallization of the love between Master Yoda and Yaddle (of course, this is pure speculation).
Anyway, "Star Wars fans" are mostly attracted by this new drama. It resembles "Wolverine" and "Terminator 2" in temperament, and even has a little bit of theology-a child of apocalypse, a Lonely heroes, they walked all the way, turning dangers into tribes.

The success of "The Mandalorian" lies not only in the "silly" "baby Yoda", but also in the creation of a "silly and cute" Mandalorian. This samurai conforms to the heroic shaping of the "Star Wars" universe for decades: three-dimensional personality, complex background, super strength, and small evil under the background of justice.
may wish to see how the Mandalorian race is introduced in the "Star Wars Encyclopedia", which can explain why the picky "Star Wars fans" highly recognize the male protagonist. Although the Mandalorian is human, It is a very unique nation, originated from the planet Mandalore. Samurai bloodlineDeeply embedded in their society, the ancient Mandalorians were even famous for defeating Jedi Knights and attacking the Jedi Temple. Traditions are of great significance to their people, such as one-on-one fights and their signature Mandalorian armor. The Mandalorians do not have the size of the Wookiees and Trandosans, but they can use armor to make up for it. They often assemble flamethrowers, grappling chains, missiles and jetpacks on them. Mandalorians have an outstanding sense of justice.

, the past introduction to the Mandalorian in the "Star Wars Encyclopedia" was inadvertently displayed in front of the viewer.
The two recent Star Wars movies and several side-by-side movies are often criticized. They all have some common problems, such as greed for everything, pale plots, and only focus on visual effects.
Although the production budget of "The Mandalorian" is as high as 100 million US dollars, it allows viewers to see the roughness of the first three "Star Wars"-that was the era when computer CG was not yet developed, even the biggest brand Hollywood producers in China also have to find ways to use shooting skills and prop models to "bluff pass", but the fun of "fake the real" has brought a certain kind of imagination that computer modeling can't match. "The Mandalorian" is certainly not a simple re-enactment of the production environment of the year, but the scenes that appear like mud puppet animations from time to time will also delight "Star Wars fans".

I have to mention "Baby Yoda" and Master Yoda. In the original "Star Wars" movie, Master Yoda is The character controlled by the puppets came to "Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones" (2002). Lucas completely abandoned the physical puppets and switched to computer modeling. Become a computer-generated role. But in this drama, the technological development has advanced by leaps and bounds, but "Baby Yoda" has returned to physical puppets, controlled remotely by two puppetists, one for the eyes and mouth, and the other for the expressions of other parts of the face.

to return and innovate. "The Mandalorian" can be regarded as an inspiration for the old IP such as "Star Wars": routines and feelings are inevitable, but Whether you can dig out freshness from that old road is an important factor in whether this series can be evergreen.
