2,315. Meditations on Mystery, The Mandalorian, and Closing Story Loops Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

On the one hand, The Mandalorian season 2 premiere was highly enjoyable. On the other hand, did they have to build on *that* story, or would they have been better off building a new one?

On today's episode of the show, I'm taking some time to meditate on the value of mystery and unclosed story loops in Star Wars storytelling - even as I find it enjoyable to close some of them! - and how Star Wars, in its reflexive approach to define everything, may leave little room for our own wonder and imagination to play. Punch it!

The Mandalorian Chapter 9, "The Marshal," has so many little winks and nods to all corners of Star Wars storytelling - and to some familiar non-Star-Wars movie tropes, too. Punch it!

2,310. Mando SAFE ZONE! Willow Series Greenlit for Disney+ Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

To help you avoid spoilers for the first episode of season 2 of The Mandalorian, it's a safe zone episode today! We're catching up on the news about a Willow series coming to Disney+, which matters particularly to Star Wars fans because Dave Filoni considers Willow to be part of a larger "Lucasverse" with very subtle connections to Star Wars... Punch it!

Here's the official press release about it: https://www.lucasfilm.com/news/jon-m-chu-to-direct-lucasfilms-willow-series-for-disney/

Show notes

Word continues to spread about Mando's troubles with Guild, and though "The Prisoner" - season 1, episode 6 - doesn't advance the tale, it gives us insight into Din Djarin's backstory, and how he's changed over the years. Punch it!
