So when Titus Welliver and Kevin Dorff show up as Imperial Officers, it felt off but it was made a little more clear at the end of this episode that it was because of the lack of Britishness. Now, I personally love that we are getting different accents in the Star Wars universe, especially on the New Republic side but I didn’t realize how much my mind connected Imperial commanders to British accents. This took me a couple of episodes to figure out what was bothering me and why the scenes including Imperial officers this season seem more television than any other scenes. ![]() As impressive as this episode was for Carl Weathers, it also felt more like a television show, but aside from a crew member still being in a shot, most of these elements are not Weathers’ fault. I said after “Chapter 9: The Marshal” that it was the first time that an episode of The Mandalorian made me feel like I was watching a film and that was a credit to Jon Favreau. There are Still Elements that Make The Mandalorian Feel Like TV On that note, it is great to see that Carson Teva might also be a regular who is following his own leads and keeping tabs on the Imperial remnants and Mando. I already mentioned my thoughts on why I think bringing back Zero in “Chapter 10: The Passenger” was important but I hope, if they do decide to bring back more characters, it makes sense to the narrative. In this case, I think there is a good reason why Mythrol is there working for Karga and I am sure we will see him again, and it is more likely that we will see other characters from season one again (like the gang from “Chapter 6: The Prisoner” ). While it is nice to see characters that have appeared briefly in other episodes reappear for larger roles, it also toggles that line of making the Star Wars universe seem small. So now he is working off a 350-year debt as an accountant which sounds just as much of punishment in their world as it does ours (I joke). Turns out he use to work for Greef but got “creative” with the numbers, then ran for it, causing a bounty to be put on his return. This is the same Mythrol in Chapter one who was the unfortunate carbonite cargo that Mando was collecting in the opening scene. More Character ReturnsĪlong with Greef Karga taking over Nevarro City as Magistrate, we see a familiar Mythrol, called Mythrol, handing accounting for Karga. I don’t think the show needs a full opening crawl but I think having something at the beginning of season two could have been useful. ![]() The opening crawl establishes where characters are compared to when we last saw them so people are not completely lost and that is something The Mandalorian is missing. One of the reasons I have always been a fan of the opening crawl in Star Wars, besides nostalgia and getting to hear the opening theme, is that it is a good marker of the passage of time. I know things move quickly for narrative sake on the show but a good amount of time has to have passed. Now, with Mando revisiting Nevarro City which has been cleaned up and the demolished building they escaped from is now a school, I’m not so sure. “At this point, it feels like taking the one thing we have.Since Star Wars properties tend to have time jumps in between the films and even the animated series, I assumed that was going to happen in The Mandalorian however, Chapter 9 appeared to start right where Chapter 8 of season one left off. “It was a very nerve-wracking thing to think I’m just going to sign over my body and my face and my likeness and my voice for this thing ‘in good faith’ that it wouldn’t be ,” he said. This was the moment that felt like “a wake-up call,” as far as where Hollywood is headed. It was almost like, ’You should be grateful to be doing this,’” Faison recalled. “It was unfortunate because I was passionate about and would have really loved to do it, but they really didn’t want to budge on anything. While he said he and his reps “fought really hard” to secure a deal, offering protections as far as future uses of his likeness, Faison was, in the end, forced to walk away. “Without going into too much detail, there was a recent situation where I was in negotiations with a company and they were very, very ornery and very trepidatious about even talking about AI,” said Faison, whose credits include last year’s Hellraiser, Yes Day and Into the Dark and who is currently on an indefinite hiatus from the new Starz series The Venery of Samantha Bird.
