The Mandalorian The Mandalorian Season 3 Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Good point. Not talking about Grogu specifically, but I think that the ultimate Force User would not need to use a lightsaber at all.

 

But haven’t we only heard one version of Yoda’s species talk?

 

I just like to point out that is not true as Yaddle now seems to speak normal basic in new high republic book. Like at certain age they can speak normal basic, maybe Yoda and Yaddle are just two different, ways for the species to act on.

 

Maybe today has his species version of an accent

 

Watch we'll get a High Republic era movie and everyone speaks that way

 

I think Grogu might be mixed between both Yoda and Yaddle.

 

Did I literally get autocorrected to today lol from yoda

 

From what I have searched there are some post production people in the union, but most of its on film people (camera, crew etc) so it would effect Mando. At least initially. The problem is if other people strike in solidarity. That’s when the real delays will start

 

I don’t expect the strike to last that long. Hollywood just started up again. I don’t think they can sweat it out longer than a union can. I think by mid November the strike will be over with. Here’s hoping they can reach a deal by Monday and there is no need to strike

 

I think it is more likely that Yoda speaks an archaic form of Basic that was probably common in his formative years (compare 12th century English to modern English). The only other member of Yoda's species that I can recall talking in Legends was Vandar, who spoke with the same syntax as everyone else. I hope Grogu doesn't grow up to speak in an alternate syntax.
As far as 50 year old toddlers and 100 year old Jedi Masters, I think we have three main possibilities:
1. Yoda's species doesn't mature proportional to humans, and there is a spike in development somewhere between 50 and 100. In spite of the popularity of "dog years", different species on Earth really don't develop proportional to each other. Dogs are essentially adults at 1 year old (7 in "dog years"), and the oldest dogs have lived to late 20s (~200 in "dog years"). I don't know any 7 year old adult humans OR 200 year old humans. And humans aren't the only outliers, cats develop differently from dogs as well.
2. Yoda's species has a lot more variation in development rates. Maybe some 100 year old Yodians are like 40 year old humans, and some 100 year old Yodians are like 5 year old humans.
3. Grogu suffered sever trauma as a youth and his development has been stunted/arrested. I doubt they would quite go that route, but there is certainly some dialogue you could point to that makes it a plausible hypothesis.

 

Not to mention that Yoda used backward speech sparingly in the OT. For the most part, his syntax was normal. It didn’t become so exaggerated until the PT.

 

Maybe Grogu won't speak at all. Or will vocalise like ET the Extraterrestrial, using the words of others at the most poignant time. This might maintain Grogu's cuteness in older age.

Maybe Grogu will also communicate silently, telepathically like ET the Extraterrestrial - he is powerful in the Force and doesn't need to speak, he just communes with feeling. (Like when ET makes Elliot rescue the frogs in ET).

Afterall, isn't it suggested the Jedi and Sith do this by being "sensed" in the Force and is it implied the Emperor does this in the ST (through Vader's mask as well as embodied in Snoke)?

 

Grogu will one day speak like Yoda or Yaddle. Maybe not in this series but futher in the timeline. By time of the ST era he will ne in his mid 70's and probaly speak fluently basic. He be like a human in his 20's.

 

Seems they will close on a deal, so looks like all parties can go and work happy if it happens.

 

I won’t hold my breath until this is a done deal.

 

Looks like they have made a deal now.

 

TBH, the chances of this strike actually happening were always slim. I'm not surprised at all.

 

The union still needs to vote to ratify the deal. Could still go bust

 

This is true. But the union President, in his optimism about celebrating now, strongly implied that this is a deal that the overwhelming majority of the members will be content with. In short, he’s likely already cleared it with a lot of the key members who can rally others for ratification. So very good chance that it’s a done deal. Though there’s always that slight chance that members still don’t find it be sufficient…

 

I was reading that the unions involved in this deal vote to ratify deals using a sort of electoral college-like system due to the different entities involved. Supposedly, this makes it more likely for members to ratify the vote, because some union segments could vote for it and others against, and it doesn't need a majority to pass, unlike the John Deere vote and strike. I don't know the accuracy of that, but it came from someone supposedly in one of the unions.
