Star Wars Fans Love to Hate and Hate to Love the Surprise Cameos in ‘The Mandalorian’ Finale

Star Wars Fans Love to Hate and Hate to Love the Surprise Cameos in ‘The Mandalorian‘ Finale. SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for the season finale of The Mandalorian! DO NOT READ if you want to avoid spoilers. You have been warned…

In one of the most iconic side character scenes to ever grace the screen for Star Wars Fans we learned to both love and hate the opening scene of The Mandalorian Episode 8: Redemption. The episode opens with the two stormtroopers reaching their rendezvous point with “The Asset” in hand… or bag I should say. The two quickly become bored when they are instructed to wait for Mof Gideon to finish dealing with “Mando” and his friends and begin arguing over “The Child” and also hilariously pull out their blasters and continue to miss a relatively close target to their speeder bikes. You know, because Stormtroopers can’t aim to literally save their lives.

Needless to say, the Internet may have been amused by the quarreling and games, that is, until they begin hitting “The Asset” for making noise, moving around, and biting one of the troopers on his finger when he bothered him. MANY fans are very upset with actors Jason Sideikis and Adam Pally who portrayed the duo in this scene, for “harming” The Internets collective favorite thing at the moment, “Baby Yoda.”

Clearly no infantile aliens were harmed in the making of this episode, in fact, our new favorite droid, IG-88, now known as IG-11, returned and quickly served some well deserved karma to the pair while saving “Baby Yoda” from further harm. Check out some of the rather strong reactions to the surprise cameos from some folks on twitter this weekend:

The Busy Season Has Landed at Orlando International Airport

December 28, 2019

The busiest travel season of the year has arrived and Orlando International Airport is preparing for a wave of passengers coming through. Whether people have come to Orlando to see family or spend time at Walt Disney World, or maybe they’re coming home from somewhere else, there’s sure to be plenty of crowds. At an airport that sees a fair amount of tourist traffic throughout the year, any preparations that guests can make to be early for check-in, as well as trying to pack light, is wise, but especially during a time of extra holiday traffic.

MCO recently tweeted out their projected number of travelers for higher traffic days. The 27th of December should have seen near 163,454 people, December 28th, it is estimated that that number went up to 168,247, and December 29th will be the busiest day of all at 174,495. After that, the 30th will dip back down to 168,341, and December 31st will end the year off at 145,479. All in all, this only confirms that Americans continue to travel more for the holidays with each passing year and that everyone needs to do their part to ensure safe and speedy journeys.

If you’re planning on traveling through Orlando International Airport on your way home from Walt Disney World this holiday season, please be early and have a safe journey home.

“The Child” from The Mandalorian, or as it is more well known as “Baby Yoda” has been an internet sensation. Now two viral things we love and been joined as one, with the new Baby Yoda Spirit Jersey! Disney fans love Spirit Jerseys, so it only made sense to create one with Baby Yoda.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Walk in the Park (@walkthethemepark) on Dec 28, 2019 at 6:14am PST

This jersey is especially epic too! Baby Yoda is screen printed on the front, and also peeking up from the yolk of the shirt. The design has a painted watercolor look, which adds an extra bit of whimsy too. The back has the Mandalorian logo in teal puffed ink. The logo even includes the silhouette of Mando walking through the “A”. The gunslinger vibe is so perfect!

You can find the new Baby Yoda Spirit Jersey now throughout the Disney Parks, including both Disneyland in California, and Walt Disney World in Florida. The jersey retails for $69.99 which is about the going rate for Spirit Jerseys in Disney. You’ll also find this jersey amongst other fun Mandalorian and “Baby Yoda” inspired apparel, and collectibles!

Will you be adding this Mandalorian inspired jersey to your collection?

Special thanks to @walkthethemepark for the spectacular photos! Be sure to give her a like on Instagram!

Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man’ Reportedly In Talks To Appear in ‘Venom 2’

Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man‘ Reportedly In Talks To Appear in ‘Venom 2‘. According to writer Daniel Richtman, Tom Holland is in talks to appear in Venom 2 as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This does come as a bit of surprise since Venom 2 has already begun filming and will likely wrap on set soon with a Fall 2020 release date looming in the distance.

Spider-Man’s future has been a bit of a rocky subject this year, when it seemed things would turn sour after negotiations between Disney and Sony went south earlier in 2019. Fortunately for fans, they agreed to keep Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a little while longer, thanks to some help from Tom Holland himself, but with a few exceptions that may include Sony’s right to bring Tom’s Spider-Man into other Sony-Marvel movies.

Venom 2 is set to be released on October 2, 2020, which means IF Tom Holland’s Spider-Man does make an appearance it will likely be a cameo or short scene due to the high level of VFX effects needed to bring Spider-Man to life on screen. Marvel Alumni Andy Serkis is set to direct Venom 2, with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie Brock/Venom.

The plot for the film has not been revealed and it is unknown if Holland will or will not appear in the film, we will likely not know until the films world premiere next Fall.

December 28, 2019

As if Tesla’s don’t already have hundreds of many amazing features, Disney+ is also being added to the mix!

Tesla vehicle owners will soon be able to enjoy watching Disney+ in the car’s ‘Theater Mode.’ This ‘Theater Mode’ allows passengers to watch several video streaming services (that they have subscriptions to) while their vehicle is parked.

The Disney+ addition to vehicle’s entertainment system is “coming soon,” according to Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk. While already offering Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu, owners will soon have a chance to have thousands of Disney+ material at their fingertips.

The ‘Theater Mode’ was just made available earlier this year with Tesla’s Version 10.0 update so we cannot wait to see what further developments will be made with this feature. Hopefully Disney+ will be available in Tesla’s by the time that Season 2 of ‘The Mandalorian‘ comes out!

‘The Mandalorian‘ is Getting Major Buzz from Fans After the Season 1 Finale. Star Wars Fans are buzzing after the premiere of The Mandalorian Season 1 on Disney+. Many taking to social media to share their approval of the series so far and excitement for the new season set to premiere in Fall 2020 according to showrunner Jon Favreau.

If you have not seen Episode 8: Redemption of The Mandalorian this is your SPOILER ALERT. Photos and opinions shared in this article contain spoilers for the season finale and you should NOT continue reading until after you see said finale. Some posts may contain strong language. I have spoken.

The Mandalorian Is the best non limited tv series of the year, no question about it. This last episode directed by Taika Waititi was absolutely astonishing. I don’t need anymore Star Wars movies just give me a season 2 SOON.

Season 1 of #TheMandalorian ends on a MASSIVE high note. There are quite a few reveals that will have fans talking. Anticipation for Season Two could not be higher. Also, Taika Waititi’s direction worked so well. Let’s give this man more Star Wars projects. This show ROCKS. pic.twitter.com/kRMNyhqsqp

— Austin Burke (@theBurk3nator) December 27, 2019

Just want to rant a little myself over this episode:

IG-88 is a high contender for our favorite Star Wars Droid ever (Don’t @ me)
We finally got to see Pedro Pascal’s face and officially learned his name, Dyn Jarren, and it was a heartbreaking scene. Well done Pedro, not many people could pull off major emotions in a mask and break our hearts after the big reveal.
THE DARKSABER IS HERE AND I CAN NOT WAIT FOR SEASON 2!! (If you don’t know what the Darksaber is I highly suggest doing some Star Wars research, it makes total sense that Mof Gideon would wield this formidable weapon.)

Please DO NOT share spoilers in the comments and give everyone a chance to see the finale as spoiler free as possible. Thank you! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Star Wars.

Baby Yoda Cat Melts Hearts and Looking for New Home

December 28, 2019

Move over Baby Yoda, the Baby Yoda Cat melting hearts around the world is the next cute thing taking the internet by storm. She has even been featured on various websites including Love Meow and Good Morning America.

The Baby Yoda Cat was appropriately named by the Humane Society of Rowan County due to her droopy ears that resemble that of Baby Yoda featured in the Disney+ Mandalorian series. According to the Facebook page dedicated specifically to the cat, she was found by a volunteer at the Humane Society of Rowan County NC in Kannapolis, North Carolina on December 15th.

Currently, the cat is under the medical supervision of Dr. Alisha Kidwell DVM while being fostered by a Cabarrus Animal Hospital employee. Dr. Kidwell is treating the cat for a deep wound around her neck, an upper respiratory infection, hair loss due to previous wounds, fleas, and intestinal parasites. Unfortunately, the cat has a long road to recovery and will not be officially available for adoption until she has fully recovered, been spayed, microchipped, and receives her second round of vaccines and dewormer. However, the rescue is accepting local applications.

Follow along with her journey through her Facebook page.

Ready to be powered by pixiedust and Starbucks again?

Starbucks known as Traveler’s Cafe in Epcot is now officially open! The new location is a temporary one and is located on the Rose Walk pathway between the Refreshment Port and the new restrooms near the World Showcase entrance.

This new location is small and kiosk style which we think is normal for a temporary one, kind of similar to the Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace.

It has two windows to order and one for pick up at the end as well as a menu located on the left side to make your ordering process easier.

When the lines get too long guest can follow the switchbacks to make the line that starts at the front of the kiosk and goes around and to the back of the location.

What do you think of Starbucks new temporary home? Let us know!

Loungefly Redd Minnie Backpack And Wristlet Have Arrived

December 28, 2019

Just when we thought the Redd Minnie Mouse ears were the best thing ever, Disney introduced matching Loungefly accessories! A new Loungefly Redd Minnie Backpack and wristlet have debuted, to match the stunning crimson ears.

The Redd backpack is showered in beautiful cherry red sequins, and also topped with 3d ears, and a faux leather Minnie bow. The back of the bag is a smooth metallic red, and it has adjustable straps. Gold hardware also accents each style in the Loungefly collection.

The new wristlet style is also available for the Redd color story! These have quickly become one of my favorite Loungefly styles, and it looks amazing in red. With these fun wristlets you can also style them a couple of ways. Not only can you use the carrying strap, but you can use the back loop to make it a belt bag! PLUS if you want to get really creative, you can take a longer strap or chain, and make it a crossbody! I think it would look fabulous with a gold purse chain.

You can find the new Loungefly Redd Minnie Backpack, and wristlet alongside the Redd ears available now throughout the Disney Parks.

Will you be grabbing any of the sparkling delights from Disney’s new Redd Color Story collection? Now we just need a Redd Spirit Jersey and my dreams will come true!
