The Mandalorian discussion thread **SPOILERS!**

Right? How often do they get someone who is doing a voice on a cartoon to play a live action version of that same character?

Possibly, but I can't think of an example. Going from LIVE ACTION to CARTOON, yes, but not from CARTOON to live action? I feel like that's pretty unique.

Kevin Conroy, long the voice of Bruce Wayne and Batman in animated productions, played a live-action Bruce Wayne about a year ago when all the CW shows did a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover. (There was quite a bit of fan service going on, with cameos from numerous actors of past DC projects.)

I finished the last two episodes of "The Mandalorian" tonight. Speaking of fan service, I felt it all worked, even though I didn't particularly need the tie-in to the Skywalker saga. (In some ways, I kind of wish this show occurred in a completely different era, though I understand the appeal of Western-style lawlessness in the immediate aftermath of the Empire's defeat.)

If the live-action TV shows can help connect all the loose ends of the films and animated TV shows, I'm all for it. For example, bringing back Darth Maul in Solo seemed pointless in the short term; based on his more meaningful appearance in "Rebels", I hope the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series fixes that.

Using the YouTube app on my television to air this video Friday morning:

Okay, the could have ended that better. Din should have held the ball/gear shift knob up in his hand and Grogu should have taken it...

Pretty sure that thing got blown to smithereens. (but cool idea)

Perhaps they will use it at another moment...

Oh yeah, it did survive! (How's that for a needle in a haystack?)

Maybe on his deathbed, as an old man, Din will give it to Teenager Yoda. "Remember the fun times we had, kid?"

Finally watched the series the last two days (sonPk had seen it, so his second time through). Very enjoyable series, well-done.
