How Bill Burr Renounced His Star Wars Hate & Got Cast in The Mandalorian

Star Wars has such a large, rich galaxy to tell all manner of stories in. Both in the 'present' and the past. But instead of telling an original idea for the new trilogy they once again told a story about the same damn characters, in the same part of space, that was a re-run of a story already told! And they even messed that up! Mandalorian is a taste of what you can do in this world with just a hint of imagination. You could set an entire series in the Old Republic timeline.

If you told me around the time that The Force Awakens came out that we'd be getting a Star Wars show that features Bill Burr on the Slave I with Boba Fett, I would have said that you were crazy. But then again, 2020 has been a crazy year, so compared to everything else that's been going on, it's not entirely surprising.

[@raine-time]

You don't even gotta like Star Wars to enjoy The Mandalorian, it's just that good

[@joshowoh9072]

I just like seeing the joy on his face from actually being surprised from enjoying his experience as much as he clearly did

[@ericndunguthuo1304]

Just watched season 2, episode 7. Bill Burr featured heavily in this episode. I am freaked out that the moment I opened youtube, this was the first video to be recommended. This can't be random, not a coincidence.

[@youngandwack9706]

I've thought this a thousand times over we all know who the Mandalorian is when it comes to spaghetti westerns....... **the good , the bad , the ugly theme starts playing**

[@kazzzzzdaghli]

Bill Burr has done star wars a massive favor . He's brilliant in both his episodes. Gotta love Bill .

[@ktvindicare]

It begs the question. Did he convince us, or did Star Wars convince him? I can't tell. All I know is that this a friendship that I will cherish. He is now part of Star Wars canon and I'm here for it.

[@americantragedies]

“How he renounced his star wars hate” lol easy he got paid.

[@Bergerons_Review]

and he didn't renounce anything. He's not that guy.

[@dausthrowaway4349]

he talked about it on his podcast.. something about how jon approached him knowing he hates star wars and id be funny if hes on the mandalorian as his grumpy self

[@fitzhugh7463]

@Shawn Goodson not just hollywood whores, most people on this planet. Not going to lie, I'd do an episode of big mouth if I was payed enough

[@tilemacro]

He doesnt hate, he is a cemedian.

[@famillebeaulieu-luangkham2923]

Easy thinking, lazy thinking.... Eventually the kind of thinking that do not spawn any real solution to any kind of real problem...

[@BryanLee]

I can relate to Joe DeRosa on this one, I love SW but was not familiar with Joe Torre's name until hearing Bill's story. Just reading the first couple paragraphs of his wiki... holy shit what a legend. I'd certainly wanna have a drink with him too lol

[@TheNameCannotBeFound]

I love how he handled the question. People change, everyone change, your tastes, values, interests, everything changes throughout your life. I'm glad he owned up to it and explained the change instead of being a hypocrite about it or trying to avoid it.

[@Razzrazz90]

3:09 "Brendan was dressed like Boba Fett" Ah so in the episode Bill is in, Brendan Wayne was the Mandalorian. I'm assuming Lateef Crowder did the hand to hand scene with Clancy Brown seeing as he's their go-to stunt coordinator for fight scenes. I wonder if Bill got to do any scenes with Pedro Pascal.

[@NJ_Dsneybuf]

Nick Fletcher. Deborah Chow stated that Pascal filmed at least 1 part of episode #3, and he's denied skipping any episodes except #4.

[@Razzrazz90]

NJ that’s good to know! Thank you!

[@njrivetelite]

His character is awesome.. I hope he's in it some more

[@demonx3432]

Anyone here after the great acting he did in episode 15?

[@darrelpuglas8224]

yes totally hoping for more in the next season?

[@kalyndahaaf]

man his acting in episode 7!!!

[@medicsoldier22]

I freaked out at the part toward the end of the video. I wasnt expecting the sound coming from the right. Felt real.

[@miyuden4118]

He played his role awesomely.

[@kappasmurf1084]

Shout out to Shoulderless Joe Derosa

[@CAInandAIbel]

*SPOILER ALERT* I'm so glad that episode wasn't the last that we would see him in the Mandalorian.

[@TeamKuukiFoodGames]

He did a pretty nice job in his scenes, especially sitting across that imp officer xD

[@ctbram0627]

I loved "We have to complete our TPS reports" outstanding!

[@shanelongest9326]

That's funny, I just recently denounced Star Wars. Spike that Baby Yoda my guy.

[@dinka3668]

Hahaha its a movie not a child, chill homie

[@darrelpuglas8224]

i reallly love his character arc compared to rey.

[@HalfEatenMedia]

Rey didn’t have an arc lol

[@JMacSD]

that's like saying: I love eating lasagna, not so much gruel.

[@Bathtubcrocodile]

Kicking in an open door, bro.

[@thatHARVguy]

@@HalfEatenMedia Frog Lady had an arc. lol

[@bespinboi7523]

“the scene in the spaceship” - Bill Burr on star wars with hundreds of scenes on a spaceship

[@CharlieAligaen]

You were awesome in The Mandalorian!! And today's episode you were even better! Great actor and comedic timing. Even when it wasn't meant to be funny. You just put so much in to your character!!! The Believer. great episode!!

[@gsimon123]

Last episode I see exactly why he was chosen. His sarcastic nihilistic somewhat disrespectful attitude towards Star Wars conflicts was exactly correct for the character. He talked trash about the entire dichotomy of Star Wars as a character IN Star Wars. Not everyone in the Star Wars universe is on board with the whole rebels vs empire and light vs dark. FINALLY a character in the middle who acts objective about it. He pointed out all the double standards and how people abandon morals - a moral nuance I have yet to see done well in Star Wars. Finally a mainstream canon character who talked shit about all the moral proselytizing in Star Wars. You can sense the genuine animosity towards that belief too in Burr. Burr sold the shit out of his character and he was perfect for it. Only a non-Star Wars fan could talk shit about Star Wars morals like that in character and sell it. Well done to everyone from writing to casting to Burr's performance on this one.

[@mustus71]

Like how these guys let their guests speak unlike Howard stern and Fallon etc..

[@jajes711]

“The super bowl is fixed” says someone coming from New England 😂

[@ne2i]

From the guy with calmari coming out of his head....

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

First time Billy was on Mando: Heh...Bill Burr...you always crack me up. Second time Billy was on Mando: Bill Burr is making me cry like a bitch.

[@RealMiniLink]

I love how perfectly Bill Burr resembles Mayfeld in attitude

[@StoneCanyonCreatives]

Bill burr was the first comedian I found as a kid and I’ve loved everything he’s ever done, F is for family still has be dying. His stand up on a “ Free dog” is the funniest thing I’v ever heard and makes me laugh my ass off. Needless to say I was a static when I saw bill burr when I was watching mandalorian.
