    Also kudos to the waste management department for a brilliant trash disposal solution.

    So I’m just piecing things together a bit here. We have Dr. Pershing in season 1 wearing the uniform of the Tarkin Initiative that also has a Kaminoan clone patch on the shoulder. Galen Erso wore the same uniform only with a kyber crystal patch on his shoulder. We have Cara Dune saying that Moff Gideon was executed (could it have been a clone of Gideon instead?) We have a base on Nevarro that looks an awful lot like the base on Eadu. So could we be seeing two separate projects from Tarkin Initiative? One was to create the Death Star while the other was to create suitable clone body for the Emperor should he ever need it.

    And if this is what’s going on it’s then possible we may see Rey’s father escape from one of these facilities. That would certainly be interesting.

    Huh. Well I suppose they've had time to figure out how to work around Covid by now.

    Maybe, but in all honesty I don't want them to tie too hard into saga stories, I like Mandalorian being its own thing. It's a vast galaxy and some things can just be by themselves.

    What's interesting about Dr. Pershing is the name. A Pershing is a doughnut that is similar to a cinnamon roll, but made with doughnut batter. A variety of the Pershing is the Persian roll, or bun, which originated in at Bennett's Bakery in Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada (now known as Thunder Bay, Ontario), and they are also popular in Wisconsin and Maine. The Persian roll is a sweet roll made of pastry dough, oftentimes prepared with pink icing made of raspberries or strawberries. Traditional lore states the Persian was named for U.S. General John "Blackjack" Pershing.
    Dr. Pershing actor Omid Abtahi is of Iranian (possibly Persian) descent.
    Princess Leia's hairstyle in A New Hope was very much like a pair of Pershings, distinguishable from Persian rolls by the apparent absence of pink icing.

    It can still be its own thing while being connected to the larger story. Rogue One is directly tied to ANH but still had its own characters and told its story in a very unique way.

    Exactly. He can run into someone like Ochi and possibly even be the one who tosses him into the pinto bean quicksand without it having any crossover with Saga events. Mando can even find a prop like the dagger and then say "This is the wayfinder". And I can drink.

    Don't have Disney+, so I haven't seen the show yet. Has anyone heard when it'll be out on DVD?
    And I'm still hoping they'll have Valance appear on the show.

    I keep reminding myself that streaming shows still often end up on DVD--certainly a good thing if only for preservation, on the off chance servers ever go under.

    And potentially useful for me, since I probably can't really get Disney + alongside the subscriptions I already have right now!

    Drop one of your other subscriptions and get Disney+. It’s worth it just for the Mando.

    I have a whole bunch of streaming services, but I still buy physical releases for stuff I like. And even though I have Disney+, I really want The Mandalorian on Blu-ray.
    Just streaming isn't the same (and the quality is worse). Something as beautiful as The Mandalorian deserves a high quality release.

    Also I want it on my shelf, dammit!

    That is it, entirely. I'm a Star Wars kid which means I have a collector mentality. I need to own it and be required to dust it and have it add to the avalanche of rubbish I will be found dead and buried under.

    Get a solid 8 episodes in today before it's release.

    2 Episodes down.
    Normally one would cut off the credits, but you have to let the Theme play out to the very last note every time.

    Well let's just say I'm not the only one using those subscriptions right now. If I can, I'll do another trial run of Disney + for Mando S2 (which, if it's like the last release, won't be in my region for a little while anyway).
