Step Inside the Pitch Meeting That Led to The Mandalorian! [Video]

From Pitch Meeting:

Disney has been going all-in with their streaming series as a way to really flesh out (and milk) the massive properties in their library. The Mandalorian was the first big streaming hit for Disney Plus and is now paving the way for a TON of other Star Wars projects, as well as serving as a launching pad for some of them.

The Mandalorian definitely raises a few questions though. Like how many side quests is Mando trying to complete? Is anything a serious threat when his armor makes him practically invincible? Why did Moff Gideon kill his own men and give up his advantage? Why do the bad guys have a sensitive info terminal that lets you use it if you just have a face? Is everything about the Skywalkers, in the end?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Mandalorian! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Mars Rover Picks Up Hitchhiker

It may be unscientific personification to think of the Perseverance rover as being lonely on Mars, but now it turns out to have adopted a pet rock.

NASA recently discovered the rock has been stuck in Perseverance’s wheel since early February. So far it’s hitched a ride totalling 5.3 miles. It was discovered thanks to the above image, taken from a camera that’s designed to spot hazards on the ground.

According to NASA, it’s not the first time a rover has picked up a rock, but it is the first time one has stayed in place for more than a few weeks.

Back in 2004, controllers intentionally turned the Spirit rover to dislodge a “potato-size” rock to reduce the risk of it working its way deeper into the wheel well.

NASA says the rock in Perseverance doesn’t appear to be doing any damage, so for now they’ll leave the rover on its original course.

They noted that if the rock does later fall out, it’s likely to be in very different surroundings from its “home.” It was picked up when Perseverance was examining rocks believed to be from lava flows. In its new position, Perseverance appears to have scraped into sedimentary rock for the first time.

Indeed, NASA staffers are already joking about a future geologist being very confused finding the rock out of place.
