That's actually an awesome observation, that without the social necessity to develop visual cues his 1k yard stare from his childhood trauma is permanently etched onto his face. I love continually finding new things to love about Star Wars!
Oh my god thank you. I had to watch this back a few times. You're 1000% right. The glance and correction, he's not used to people seeing where his eyes go. The slow head turn that would look cold in a helmet but revealing his anxiety without it, almost turning like he's used to the weight or something. You have a good eye
He immediately picked up on his killing intent. The actor did really well expressing Meyfield's outward smile and casual chatter but with building rage and killing intent underneath.
Honestly it didnt even feel like acting to me as a long time Bill stan, this is the energy he has talking to entitled people like Bill Maher (not saying hes a bad actor by any means)
He didn't think he was a good actor either, but after his role in B.B, it was hard to prove he wasn't. Especially after his second showing on Mandalorion.
I especially love, as a dude who’s learned to not give a crap about a lot of stuff that doesn’t truly matter, this character is pretty similar to him; he does as he likes but there are important things he really cares about. Best trooper-turned-hero story to come from Star Wars
Yo, I just noticed who it was. I think they called him goat in that movie, but all I remember is him being insane and cutting himself when he said god's name in vain lol
Which version? The old ps2 or the ps4/5 version? I played both but I don't remember either. I have no access to the ps2 version. This definitely makes me want to replay the ps4 version though. I appreciate the info, this is cool.
I loved Meyfield in this story. The whole time he talked about how he didn't care about anything, but the moment he's reminded of the injustice he and his friends faced, he made an emotional decision, risked everything, because he's only human
I love that even through Mayfield acted as if the whole mandalorian creed was a joke he still respected Din and avoided looking him in the face when he gave his helmet back.
@@brettxsmith comedians generally can do serious dialogue/drama well because they already understand cadence and timing from doing comedy. It's great to see, Bill can actually act, I think he'd do great if given the opportunity.
Not only had no remorse, didn't have the decency to at least *fake* being ashamed of what he had done, necessary or not, given he was talking to a survivor of a massacre he caused.
A few years had passed. Still, it's a bit like someone talking about minute details of the vietnam conflict in the 90s. 20 years is hardly "history". Its barely any time at all to a trauma survivor.
@koboldsage9112 Hadn't even been that long. Operation Cinder was right after Endor, the Empire fell a year later, and that scene is five years after that. So the Empire wide funeral pyre that was Palpatine's deadman's switch (which was stupid for myriad reasons) was six years prior. That's like saying you know your history when discussing 9/11 in 2006.
The way that the imperial officer’s eyes look away into a 1000 yard stare for a split second after the mention of Burning Khon is superb acting. I definitely recognize the actor but I couldn’t tell you what I saw him in, which is honestly the true accolade of any actor
@@theneonorangegecko1576 if you're playing the newer bf2, I believe it's in the single player/solo menu options. Haven't played the game in a few years so my memory is a little hazy. But as far as I'm aware, it was never removed so should still be in there.
Not going to lie this was one of my top three of my favorite episodes from the Mandalorian you'd think Mayfield was just a one-off character but they actually gave him story and I like how they left it off
Seconds later Meyfield will be looking as his hand having drawn his blaster and slain that officer like it had a life of its' own. A split second of hesitation and processing what he's just done and then some other soldier walks in and he snaps out of it and just shoots. Then all hell break loose. Best Star Wars acting ever.
This. This right here is how you give excellent backstory to a "side" character. Burr crushed it here. I hope (but don't expect) we see him again in SW.
Bill can mf Act! And the greatest character arch progression I. The History of anything ever. Amazing writing. Best part is how Bill makes it work. I honestly do not think it would have worked with any other actor.
Bill did what no one else really ever tried to. He played it as a soldier, his attitude, his cadence, the guy treats his role here like hes a marine swapping horror stories with a superior. Hes not a storm trooper hes just a soldier whos seen terrible things. Something everyone else seems to forget. Take away the laser swords and fantasy setting, storm troopers are rank and file military at the end of the day. The attitude of a soldier is what they should have. Not whatever the fuck Finn was.
@@DecetiveTheDev I do believe this is from The Mandalorian . Someone please correct me if I'm wrong bc I stopped watching after Season 1 due to time constraints.

Bill be like, "Eh, you know, I uhhh, I just dont really care about Star Wars, you know?" And, "Eh, you know, im not some great actor" and then has some of the best acting for the most popular Star Wars TV show lol
Left out the best part... Where you could see him tearing up inside... Struggling between what he wanted to do and what he knew he SHOULD do. Burr killed this scene.
This was the most memorable scene in the whole series for me. Somehow, watching a fictional soldier character get emotional over a fictional war. Really well done scene both actors.
*Did I ever tell you the Tragedy of Imperial Sharpshooter Mayfield?* It's ironic... he was labeled a comedian, but on that day, he wasn't funny, and the joke was on the Empire.
What always amused me about this scene is how he held a grudge for the death of numerous Imperial troopers, yet he blows up that facility, filled with numerous Imperials, right after lol
Meyfield ended up being a nicely layered character with an interesting past in just a couple of episodes Those where the episodes that where amazing to watch
Probably one of the best and most human dialogues in all of Star Wars. Meyfeld was cool in season one, but he became incredible in this second season episode.
Bill becoming a more renowned actor than a comedian is a testament to his ability and the shining potential of how we as humans can have different political views and still enjoy each other's presence.
Using famous quote: "This scene gave Meyfeld better ex-stormtrooper arc than Finn had in three movies".
But he wasn't a stormtrooper... He made it extra clear when first met him.

Pretty sure he played one of the Russian people in Peaky Blinders

Honestly, I think Richard Brake may be one most reliable and under-rated supporting actors working today.
Could not believe how many comments I had to scroll past to get to the truth.
Was looking for a Richard Brake comment! Incredibly underrated actor
My introduction to him I believe was this show but the most recent thing of his that I’ve seen was R.I.P.D. 2
If they made a show staring Burr id watch it as long as he brings this emotion an realness to it.

Press "F" for family.
Bill burr sells the calm anger, i know hes like that normally but it translates well for a vet.
Having an Imperial commander with a southern accent hits different.
it's because libs hate America. It's their MO.
Instead of emanating a European fascist like typical Imperials, this guy emanates the southern gentleman turned slave-owning KuKluxKonfederate.
It's more middle south, like Virginia, Tennessee, or the Carolinas. Fits pretty well for an officer

This is an amazing scene, probably top 10 in the series. Bill Burr is the goat
Bill became one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. He's so grounded and relatable.
Back when the writing & dialogue was competent🤦🏾♂️
Both phenomenal actors who need to be casted in more films
This scene is what I imagine would happen if a Vietnam or Iraq war veteran would do to their superior officers if they ever met again
This is the best scene Disney Star Wars has produced to this point and it’s not even close.
Every US veteran internally cried out in anguish at this scene. We'll never have this redemption
That line "man it was like 5, 10k people" sounded so incredibly organic.
What always amused me about this scene is how he held a grudge for the death of numerous Imperial troopers, yet he blows up that facility, filled with numerous Imperials, right after lol
The intensity of this scene was insane.
Does anyone know the name of the background music?

I remember seeing that for the first time. I got emotional. He an underrated character and in this role. He nailed it,and brought his humor into it.
You gotta love how they gave the officer a Southern American accent just to get rid of any semblance of subtly.
