- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- In chapter 15 of The Mandalorian titled The Believer Din Djarin once again teams up with Migs Mayfeld. A character from season 1 that nobody really cared for, a typical bad guy that only looked out for himself. Yet, this time it would be different. Lets get into why the surprising actions of Mayfeld created one of the best moments in the series...

It's ironic Bill made fun of stars wars and turned out to be the best character created in Disney starwars
yah, showed the human side to the soldiers of the empire..
Kino Loy would like a word
Tell me you haven't watched Andor, the bad batch, mando, whitout telling me
Not THE best. One of the best. There are many.
@@OutrageousOnPurposefunny that you didn’t mention Rouge One, the best thing that came from this nightmare of a new age that is Disney Star Wars.
So true - Bill Berr’s character and acting was good, I liked Mayfeld. His arc was wholesome, it showed his humanity. His reaction to the officer was awesome.
As a Veteran of OIF it hit me right where I live.
Ah yes, Billy the Bear!
Just have to say I was one of the Somebodies that DID like can care about Mayfeld when he appeared first time. So when he was brought back I was ecstatic.
Bill Burr playing a character that does exactly what he does in his comedy. Asking questions while balancing right on the edge of what’s appropriate.
It’s actually so on brand for Bill Burr lol
So… he got type-casted?
@@IntuitiveYakOfAllTrades
Hah, in a sense, yeah. But that wasn’t all. After the familiar prodding questions, we got something unexpected. It was meaningful, believable in this universe, and very distinct from a laugh.
@@jacobfraser2084 Oh yeah, definitely. I just saw the opportunity for a dumb joke and took it.
Mayfield’s character single-handedly humanized a part of the Star Wars universe that hadn’t been successfully portrayed on film before. They tried here and there, but dropped the ball every time. It took Bill Burr to do it right.
They tried with Finn and TBH it was the most interesting aspects of Force Awakens.
But yeah Mayfield is far better written and executed
@@ieuanhunt552 I agree. Of the new trilogy, the only part I am 100% on board with is Finn and his backstory. Every other part, from Rey and Kylo, to Han, to Luke, and then Palpy? The whole thing was an off-tone cringefest. The only way any of it made sense was if Palp had acquired the Star Forge, but they erased all the old Cannon so... whoops.
Except Finn. I have no complaints about Finn.
my fav moments is when the empire comes to the rescue, to see the empire be the good guys even if it only a a brief moment was very novel and also tragic, seeing the stormtroopers saluting the two men who will very shorty get them all killed
I agree!
were they portrayed as the good guys, they mowed down villagers with sticks.
@@Tholen3If you're talking about the Raiders that were attacking them, they were all carrying grenades/bombs and using them to try and blow up the transports.
@@devastater97right. They had bombs they were trying to use against a transport vehicle for off worlders that were exploiting their planets resources in an attempt to create weapons to use against anyone that tries to interfere with what they’re doing. Obviously, they were in the wrong. Don’t have to ask which way you’re voting I bet.
When his face drops, right before he shoots, when he made the decision without knowing he made the decision or what he was doing.
All portrayed very well in his face.
Great acting.
Mayfeld was brilliantly portrayed
His name is William Maher
@@youwebz ?
@@youwebzYeah I’m with CT. The hell you on about? The characters name is Mayfeld, and the actor who played him is Bill Burr.
@@CephalonAxii Americans and sarcasm are mutually exclusive jokes.
@@youwebz And yet what you said isn’t sarcasm. It was a statement. An incorrect statement at that, without a shred of irony.
Yeah. Bill Bure accurately portrayed how a veteran of war thinks
Mayfield is hands-down one of the best characters ever put into Star Wars.
He's flawed, never meant to be held to some high ideal, and is just a guy trying to do his best - which is far more relatable than most characters in the SW franchise.
Burr really nailed a PTSD episode. The rapid blinking, the rocking, he was literally back at burning kon (or however you spell it) when he was faced with his old commander. Ran chills up my spine.
the moment they leave the vehicle and all the imperial support personnel salute and applaud them is an amazing moment that doesn't get enough play
Right? They made you cheer for the Empire, if only for 30 seconds.
@@urzmontst.george6314 i felt bad when our boys started smoking them on the way out. kinda like when grogu was eating that fish lady's babies.
Mayfield has become a permanent character in my SW rpg game that I run. I loved how Bill Burr portrayed him and he was probably one of the best written characters in a long time out of Lucasfilm
I really am not a big Bill Burr fan, but he absolutely crushed this role in both episodes.
What’s more fun, is he isn’t a Star Wars fanatic, and has jokingly hated on the series and roasted us numerous times (mostly deservingly). Jon favreau just thought it would be funny, and so did bill.
So his performance isn’t coming from a point of “this series is my love, and I have to give it all”, he’s just that fucking good of an actor!
This is a perfect example of what the series like the Mandalorian and Andor had time to do right where the movies would cut content like this due to time constraints.
Both the prequel and sequel trilogy movies tried to squeeze way too much into far too little time. They often sacrificed plot and character development for big action sequences. Action sequences are important, but they need to serve the narrative, not replace it.
And it’s this kind of stuff right here in this clip that makes you care about the characters.
It is one of the few episodes I actually remember. And considering how much more character and growth we see in Mayfield than in Mando in the entirity of S3, it would be more interesting to see a show about him. A journey of regret, self-discovery, redemption and setting a few things right - on a personal level.
There were rumors that him and Gina were going to get a spinoff for her Spec Ops group but then Gina went against the narrative (TM.)
6:04 TPS reports have made all the way from Innetech to the galaxy far far away.
if you think about it, they somehow made it to earth, and are making life difficult here now.
Until you burn them to the ground.
"We all need to sleep at night."
I love that line.
I just rewatched this episode a few days ago and that whole sequencece in the mess hall is still so so good. Mayfeld is so underrated. It’d be great to see him again. He made a lot of very valid points in that episode. I feel like s2 was all about Din’s world views being challwnged. And I also enjoy seeing how Grogu affects Din and those arounnd him. I hope we get more of both in their movie.
I miss the old mandolorian
I've literally been trying to convince people that this episode is one of the greatest stories in all of Star Wars since it came out.
Bill Burr is renowned for making fun of Star Wars and Star Wars fans. Then the guy stepped into a Star Wars role and knocked it out of the park.
Imperial Officer: "And not only did I kill a lot of people - civilians, enemy soldiers and even my own troops - but I also killed Bruce Wayne's parents. I'm nobody you want to mess with."
Looking back I think I would probably rank it as one of the best episodes of the series.
This is my favourite episode of The Mandolorian. It's perfect.
Finally, someone is talking about this very moment.
"To believe in an ideal, is to be willing to betray it. It is something no Sith or Jedi has ever truly learned."
Mando taking off his helmet definitely is underrated, but that’s because Bill Burr’s moment completely overshadowed it.
That conversation between the three of them had me in an iron grip. There was more tension across that table than in entire movies.
I knew at some point Djin would take off the helmet and I only hoped they wouldn't squander it. And they didn't
Mayfeld shooting the officer is the same as Dr Shultz in Jango Shooting Candy. The point where you can't help to do it cause it's the right thing to do.
This was one of my favorite, if not favorite, episodes.
What this vid points out, along with Mayfield's scene with his old commander, was some of my favorite Star Wars ever.
Bill's wife was proud of him. He's a comedian, and not a screen actor. But he proved, right here, that he has the chops to do serious drama anytime he wants.
Great character breakdown and in depth analysis on Mayfeld and Mando in this episode!
Season 1 and 2 of the Mandalorian were good. The Mayfield episode of season 1 was awesome. Bill Burr played himself in the Star Wars galaxy so of course he's one of the best things about the show.
The points Mayfield makes and the themes he introduces, that you've highlighted here, are interesting but in usual Disney fashion, they're surface level and never explored or expanded upon again.
So, people reacting to the meandering and incomprehensible third season have become prevalent. It doesn't mean these episodes and ideas are underrated and underappreciated. It just means that the lack of direction they took with the show spoiled what we had, to the point where the whole thing becomes irrelevant or at least tainted. Meaning if you go back and start watching the mandalorian again the knowledge of the bad later episodes is always nagging in the back of your mind.
This is also going to contribute to the failure of the movie. But that's outside the scope of this essay.
I remember watching that scene and being completely awestruck by both the writing and acting. Westerns are my favourite genre of fiction and in that moment, I think Star Wars was the most like a western not with a pistol duel or showdown but watching a man who lives his life a certain way take a stand he doesn't expect due to his in the past during a war. Favreau certainly seems to get westerns and wants to emphasise the western aspect of Star Wars and I'm here for it!
This is one of the best episodes in all of Star Wars. Unfortunate that they screwed up The Mandalorian in season 3.
“This guy was a bad dude cuz he caused the deaths of a bunch of Stormtroopers!”
*Proceeds to kill an apocalyptic number of Stormtroopers.*
He should have said MCClunky first.
Nobody talks about it? You're kidding, right? Even Bill Burr talks about it --- in multiple media channels.
Billions of dollars pumped into this franchise and this was peak Disney SW, it collapsed so quickly after series 2 of Mando.
I've heard Andor takes that cake, still need to watch that one myself.
@@walterroux291it does, despite Bill Burr's scene here being incredible.
Andor is a slow burn like a slasher flick villain. It takes its time, but it's relentless. It also trusts you to put things together on your own and doesn't often directly call out why or if something is significant.
It's beautifully crafted from top to bottom. They don't rely on the Volume much, with lots of on-location shooting. Writing, directing, costuming, set design, cinematography, acting. Everyone is on their A-game. It's worth the time.
Ole Billy Bantha Balls is a better actor than he'd like to admit
Those two seasons feel like an oasis in a galaxy far away from Disney's drag clown world
Miggs’ backstory if the best piece of character writing Disney has managed to pull off.
And to think... Bill Burr didn't even want to be in Star Wars. Some times you seek out greatness. And other times you find it in the most unlikely places.
I ❤️ how Mayfeld reformed after their mission.
"But nobody talks about it"???? in what universe it is widely recognised as one of the best moment of the show and a confirmation that Bill is more than a stand up comic
Bill's performance made us feel genuine sympathy for stormtroopers. It made me want a stormtrooper show.
Yeah, I remember him and I didn’t know he was once an imperial.
The BEST Moment In The Mandalorian...And Everyone Talks About It
Fixed your title.
That is actually good writing.
Good video.
Though, "TPS reports".
Migs might be an isekai from Earth. He knows everything important, but is an average guy with no power. So, he keeps a very low profile. And this conversation was him using his knowledge to gently speak some truth to Din Djarin, without letting on what he really knows.
I agree this moment and performance is very under rated. As for why I think bill sums it up perfectly himself. "I'm a white bald ginger. I know what the score is." XD
I'd totally watch a whole series about the Mayfield character. Give him a ship, a ragtag crew, send him on bounty/smuggler missions, maybe heists too? You're welcome Mouse:/
I know why this doesn't get talked about like it should... it was a great and quick example of what finn could have been if decent writers had made the sequels. must hurt to have that rubbed in their faces. Haunted and angry. for sure the best mando episode
Bull burr was the PERFECT person to play the character MiGs Mayfield!
I served two tours in Iraq. 2nd tour was just convoys. And when mando and burr drove through that town, it gave me chills. And when Burr's character shot that officer, I nutted a bit while imagining it was Dick Cheney. Not kidding, I thought his character's lines had more thought provoking dialogue than most political bs nowadays. I mean, I was over there for love of country, but there were never any wmd's. Dick Cheney and friends convinced Bush, the military, the country, and the world that there were wmds there bc it made them rich. No one talks about it. Most guys I served with just dont want to talk about it, or they deny it, or they get mad and really deny it and call us traitors for speaking up for our fallen brothers and sisters. And no one ever addresses it bc it is too scary or... i dont know. But no one talks about it really. And the idea of my friends and I being abused for money and power while millions of innocents die in the process.....Yeah, when Burr's character shot that officer it hit me different. Bc I felt the same. It was a huge artistic victory in my book bc Burr might have just been playing a character, and it may have just been good writing, but honestly that was some serious truth telling. This was amazing.
We need more Mayfeld and more Cara Dune. Unfortunately, neither is likely to happen because they're too busy shoving crap like The Acolyte down our throats.
May just be that I already liked Burr before this, I enjoyed his character initially, then LOVED his next appearance. His accent always was entertaining to me, being born a bit outside Boston I'd been around that accent and attitude basically all my life.
Next time, can you please lower the background music? With your gritty and slow voice, it's sometimes hard to hear what you're saying. TY
Excellent video.
It’s my favorite moment, of the show.
It’s the best acting on the show, in my opinion, snd a it showed how much Burr, was actually working on acting, as he would sometimes talk about on his podcast.
I think he got a teacher, or went up a class. 😄
Disney managed what Lucas struggled to do: Show the humanity of the Empire and make it a more nuanced enemy. I don't understand how so many fans only focus on the things Disney did badly. They forget the many things, Disney's writers did well.
I thought everyone was talking about this especially when the episode first aired......
I went to one of Bill Burr's stand up shows, he talked about accidentally doing mushrooms at a Billy Joel concert. Love that guy, great actor, great comedian.
Bill burr not only blew the officer away, he blew me away too. Totally unexpected. He literally turned from Bill burr the stand-up comedian to Meyfeld the empire veteran.
"Nobody talks about it"
Independent fact checkers have determined that to be false.
Nice click bait.
That said, nice analysis as well.
I honestly hope we don't se Mayfeld again. Everyone liked him, if he's brought back in current starwars it will only be to destroy the character.
I agree with that last sentiment, the episode was a giant blinking neon arrow pointing at what future Star Wars content should be. Sith vs. Jedi is boring, you're just rehashing the same thing over and over so put the focus in the mud instead. Just do a war movie, can be ground focused or "air" focused but play it as sincere as possible. That guy was such a fantastic villain.
That's the only episode of that mid AF show that was actually good. Mayfield's character was written with some depth, unfortunately, the same can't be said for the rest of cast of cardboard cutouts.
i hope for like a dirty dozen type series... villains dingg stuff for the goodguys to pay off their debt,, by choice.....bill burr would be great for it..
I think that they should try to give some kind of ideal/morive to the whole imperial faction. I mean are all the soldiers of the empire evil? Have they never asked themselves "what are we fighting for?" Or even "Are we the baddies?".
I still think Mando is the best character, I honestly feel like you can feel emotion even though he always has his helmet on. The pauses and the head turns, the body posturing. I think Pascal does a master class for a character that wears a uniform to hide his emotion and humanity. Burr's character is my number 2 though, I do think the writers and him add an awful lot to the star wars franchise. I don't think I ever felt scared, sad, or questioned my world view in the 12 star wars movies. I am so glad that this series got green lit.
The expression on His face tell's all, a man a soldier who witness a horror that visits his dreams, the loss of so many people in that place (Burnin Komm) including the ones he knew and served with, good acting, to see pain anger rage expressed on his face, and his resolve, I find The Believer one of the best in The Mandalorian, hope to se more of Migs Mayfeld.
💤 Sorry, just dosed off. The content might be interesting, but after a minute the voice just made fall asleep, so I can’t tell if it’s good or not.
"but nobody talks about it" except for 1000's of other youtuber's who made the exact same video about this exact same topic over the last five years.
Mayfeld shooting the imperial officer is very reminiscent of Micheal Corleone shooting the cop and the mobster at the dinner in ‘The Godfather’. You see in his face and eyes his mind racing with doubt and contempt until he shoots. Great acting and writing.
Yeah the 0.1% great stuff don't make the other 99.9% of garbage better.
Disney Star Wars is not Star Wars.
WRONG!!! Everyone talked about this episode and most agree that it was the best of the show.
When his face drops, right before he shoots, when he made the decision without knowing he made the decision or what he was doing.
All portrayed very well in his face.
Great acting.
It should also be mentioned that din djarin didn’t even reprimand or get mad at mayfeld for shooting the officer.
Like he respected that or he just didn’t blame him.
It was one of the best episode in all series so far. Bill’s performance was immense.
Yea, Bill Burr's appearances in the series are my two favourite episodes. Great video, cheers!
very clearly meant to be a one-off and Bill was just freaking crushed it they just had to bring him back a fill out the character more
Hands down some of the best acting in all of Star Wars. It's a shame Bill didn't come back in Season 3.
Shame some of the strongest writing in the show was immediately undercut for a flashy cammeo in the very next epsiode.
people definitely talked about this when it came out
but what i dont see people talk about right now is the fact that season 2 was a step up and a masterpiece next to a fair 9/10 season 1
everyone seems to have gotten collective amnesia and apply the brilliance of s2 to s1 and say "the series was going down with each season" which i simply not true and im really confused at those statements
This is the type of Star Wars storytelling I want to see more off, but Disney wont let that, Andor is the only place else were they did such things.
No more Mayfeld until Disney runs the show. I don't want to see his character thrown in the trash. But later, I will love to see him more.
Edit: I don't know if this was intentional but from these clips it looks like Bill is left eye dominant. This means he is looking through the scope with his left eye but he is still holding the rifle right handed. This is most likely because he is right handed, though many on many fire arms (most) the bolt action is on the right hand side. However laser rifles do not have bolt actions. So I now wonder if Bill hunts or goes to the range in real life.
Funny thing is, he's not using a blaster rifle in that shot. It's a slugthrower.
@@selonianth well well well. There you go. I signed out of starwars after tfa. Still refuse to watch. But I love Bill Bhur
@willlauzon3744 The sequels aren't good really, no, but the shows are mostly good. Ups and downs, as all things have.
@@selonianth you wont trick me. I'm still out. The mandalorian should have been star wars meets firefly. Change my mind
My favorite part about the table scene is how Mando starts out staring down the officer, but slowly shifts his attention back to Mayfeld when he starts to realize where/what the danger is.
I really liked this character, this episode, and especially this character's story arc - it was simply lovely.
Mayfield was my character
Cara was a very close second favorite
How would we get more of Mayfeld? Unfortunately He died in that refinery explosion
EVERY body talked about this when it came out. The hell?
Going from this to what most of season 3 was is just sad. Like the only really good episode in season 3 with anything like this was the 2nd to last episode.
I really miss the old mandalorian....with gina and bill burr. That season was great
Bill freakin' Burr doing some of the best acting on that series
This is one of my favorite episode , it resonets difretly if you was born in east eu contry, one of the best eacting was in the shout of the end . The anger was good in Bills eyes.
I've always said that was the very best episode of mandalorian
its funny how a universe that began with a father son relationship ended with a father son relationship
I thought Finn was going to be something like this, but they didn't really nail it and it felt like they sidelined him.
Mayfeld should get a show, instead of 'that which wont be named'.
Absolutely incredible episode for this scene and Bill Burr alone.
All I can say is that bill burr lifted the episode far above every other episode that boy can act
