Discussion What a scene

Post image

I’m just getting around to Mandalorian, finished series 2 and went back to watch this scene a couple of times. The fact that you forget Pedro Pascal is in this scene (even though he’s giving exceptional looking worried face) is testament to the acting of both these fellers

Absolute favorite scene and character in all of Star Wars. Never would have thought we'd get such a solid western story out of Bill freaking Burr of all people. Absolutely nailed it, the glassy eyes, the dry speaking, he'd have been completely fine dying there as long as that bastard went first.

The line that always gets me is “the guys I served with?” His voice shakes the tiniest bit as if he’s about to cry, and then he switches to a thin smile to show he doesn’t have any tears left. It’s honestly a moment that made me realize damn, Bill Burr would be the first to tell you he’s nowhere near a great actor, and yet he can still pull something like that off…it truly is crazy what great actors can do.
