Today, let's talk about the American drama "The Mandalorian Season 1".
Title: The Mandalorian Season 1/ Star Wars: The Mandalorian (2019), alias Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
On November 12, 2019 local time, Disney launched its own streaming platform Disney+, officially announcing Disney's entry into the streaming media industry.
So far, the mainstream streaming media platforms include Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Apple TV, Hulu and so on.
"The Mandalorian" is the opening work of Disney+, which officially premiered on the same day, and the platform also began to provide services.
Works that can be selected as the opening chapter of the platform are naturally carefully selected dramas that can be played. Disney, which has many IPs, naturally picked the eight most profitable letters: Star Wars.
Season 1 of The Mandalorian costs more than $100 million, with an average cost of $15 million per episode, which will be spent on costumes, sets, props, puppets, and special effects, which directly look like special effects, such as flowing water, not bad money at all, and the entire series invests billions.
The Mandalorian takes place after the fall of the Empire and before the establishment of the First Order. That's 5 years after Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) and 25 years before Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015).
The protagonist of the story is a super-capable elite Manloda who needs to embark on a difficult and unusual journey in this chaotic world.
"Mandalorian" adopts the form of a unit drama, each episode is half an hour, the single episode story is short and concise, there are laughs and tears, there are suspense and explosive points, which is very in line with the requirements of short and fast.
After the series was launched, it was widely popular, and the Disney + platform was the first step.
However, since Disney+ was originally only available to a few countries, there is no legal way to see The Mandalorian in countries where Disney+ does not provide services. This also led to the series becoming the most illegally downloaded product that year, which was comparable to the situation encountered in "Game of Thrones" that year.
In addition, Latin American audiences also found that the show included Latin American Spanish dubbing, which was actually provided by the platform for Hispanic and Puerto Rican audiences. In Japan, the show was released in December 2019 at Disney Deluxe Edition, a streaming service dedicated to Japan.
Many episodes of The Mandalorian pay homage to early Japanese cinema.
The overall story, such as the "Wolf with a Belt" series, tells the story of a samurai who travels to Japan with his children.
Typically, like the fourth episode, Sanctuary, a tribute to The Seven Samurai, a samurai leads the villagers against bandits.
Judging from the setting of the series, the lone gunner and the wandering stars are quite a bit of a Western.
Therefore, the show is often referred to as "Space Western".
To make a simple analogy, the Star Wars series is a family soap opera set in space opera, and The Mandalorian is a western adventure drama set in space west.
This drama is an official acknowledgement of the majority of fans' complaints about the StormTroopers.
There is a point in the Star Wars series that will always be complained about, and that is the Storm Soldier who can never be beaten.
Finally, in the play, the official official response to this statement, even if it is certified that the Storm Soldier is not accurate.
In the play, Mayfeld reveals that he is a former Imperial sharpshooter. The Mandalorian teased that the title did not mean anything. Because everyone knows that the Stormtroopers can never hit anything. Mayfield then stressed that he was not a Stormtrooper. It shows that the people in the play also know that the Stormtroopers are useless in shooting.
This paragraph really made me laugh out loud, and the official spit was the most deadly.
In the eighth episode, two idle Stormtroopers are even arranged to shoot a waste box at close range to verify their marksmanship on the spot.
Also in episode VIII, this episode features a large number of Stormtroopers, which require a lot of costumes.
According to director Dave Filoni, they didn't have enough costumes, and finally asked the 501 Legion Fan Club for help and put together the costumes.
Now these fans can show off that their homemade costumes are also officially used.
The biggest basic setting of "The Mandalorian" is the Mandalorian himself.
The Mandalorian in the play, whose real name is Din Djarin, was originally a war orphan who had a similar experience with Baby Yoda.
According to the setting of Star Wars, the Mandalorians are composed of a group of people of the same faith and different races, and the Mandalorian culture has strict requirements for the role of father. They argue that fathers should play a prominent role in raising their sons, and that those who do not have biological children are strongly encouraged to adopt "outcasts".
If a Mandalorian father is full of concern for his children, he will be called a traitor or a coward: hutuun, which is the most serious insult in Mandalorian culture.
This is also the inner heritage of the character of Ding Jalin along the way.
Similarly, The Mandalorian culture stipulates that outsiders cannot be seen taking off their helmets.
The Mandalorian forgers mentioned an ancient race known as the Jedi.
The composition of the Jedi is quite similar to that of the Mandalorians, who are made up of people of different races, and faith and reverence for the Force are enough.
The Forge tells Ding Jarin that thousands of years ago, the Mandalorians had waged war against the Jedi. The Mandalorians developed and upgraded their armor and weapons, in large part because of the Jedi.
Ding Jarin's spaceship contains a small arms arsenal.
Several of the iconic weapons in the Star Wars trilogy are based on real guns, and the same is true here. Almost all of the guns in the arsenal are real guns or air guns, and the modified appearance of these guns has made them look sci-fi.
The Mandalorian explosive pistol is also based on a real-life firearm, adding some extras to the Bergman Model 1894 automatic pistol.
The most eye-catching in the play is Yuda Mengwa.
Bigeye quickly captured the hearts of a large number of fans, and everyone affectionately called him "Baby Yoda" ("Baby Yoda", "Yoda baby" and "Yoddler").
Correspondingly, in the midst of Ding Jaring's wolf daddy behavior, the Mandalorians were nicknamed": "Daddalorian" and "MandaDlorian".
This is the first time that graffiti has appeared in the "Star Wars" live-action film and television works.
In the play, "Yoda Baby" is realized through the export of puppets, and then completed through special effects production in the later stage.
Although "Baby Yoda" is called "Baby", he is actually 50 years old.
"Baby Yoda" is a boy named Grogu. The term "Baby Yoda" is not accurate, as this child is not a baby version of Yoda the Jedi Master. The name of the Yoda species is still unknown in the Star Wars universe.
Master Yoda died at the age of 900 in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, which also confirms that the race is much slower than others in the Star Wars universe.
Master Yoda also said he was 800 years old when he was a disciple in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, suggesting that the child will have a lot to do in the next 50 years.
The New Republic Prison Ship in the play is clearly intended to be consistent with the films of the 1970s and early 1980s.
The control room in particular is filled with thick red flashing buttons, a retro-style interface, and an early sci-fi-style console. The ship's corridor also harks back to the long spaceship hall seen in New Hope.
When this season was filmed, Episodes 7 and 8 followed by Episodes 1 and 3 because you can see that there are many of the same actors and locations in these episodes.
The Death Stormtroopers in Rogue One (2016) also return as imperial troops.
These are elite units, with soldiers who are surgically reinforced, advancedly trained, and wearing more advanced armor that can block the sensor system.
General stormtroopers become cannon fodder, but these dead stormtroopers cannot be underestimated.
