And while it was certainly worth staying up late for the wait, “The Marshal” felt more like Episode 5 in Season 2, a bridge episode, versus the adrenaline one might have been hoping for following Mando’s fight with Gideon. The Mandalorian and The Child Disneyĭisney dropped tonight’s episode at midnight PT around the world with no advance screeners to the press. Similar to how Season 1 awesomely blew up and rebuilt the Star Wars universe with elements such as Baby Yoda, a crusty Nick Nolte-voiced Ugnaught, and a wry, sly Imperial notable played by none other than German filmmaker Werner Herzog, the mind itches as to whether Mandalorian can outstrip itself, or continue to play old hat. Season 2 arrives tonight all decked out with a merchandise blitzkrieg, from Baby Yoda General Mills cereal to bottles of hand sanitizer. The stakes are high for Disney with Mandalorian Season 2, particularly in the wake of the series’ 15 Emmys noms, including Best Drama Series, and seven wins. However, Season 2 arrives in the shadow of its first season, itself the flagship series that christened Disney’s streaming service. Tusken Raiders and The Mandalorian Disneyįun? Absolutely, and Mandalorian continues to pay homage in a nuanced way to the trilogy movies, while showing off things we’d only dream about with a set of action figures (a Mandalorian rocket launcher firing off, or get a load of Timothy Olyphant’s speeder bike - isn’t that one of the engines from Sebulba’s podracer in The Phantom Menace?). Rather, Mando and a gaggle of Tusken Raiders and Tatooine villagers take on what looks to be the vomiting cousin to Dune‘s sandworm. After a near-death standoff with Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon, down to Mando literally wrestling down the Imperial senior baddie’s tie fighter in the Season 1 finale, we’re not immediately treated to that aftermath in tonight’s “Chapter 9: The Marshal,” directed and written by Jon Favreau. Season 1 of The Mandalorian quickly established a structure between stand-alone adventure episodes of Mando, and those episodes pertaining to the bounty hunter and Baby Yoda squaring off with the Imperials. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.Christian Bale Reveals The One 'Star Wars' Role That Could Persuade Him To Join The Disney Franchiseīut given how The Mandalorian buries its nose in Western homages, Mando is that stranger from out of town, who arrives to save locals from a devastating nemesis, and this time it’s a snake-like underground creature known as a Krayt Dragon who’s upending Tatooine like the San Andreas fault. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
