zoux posted:I was thinking about this and it's interesting because it describes Boba Fett to a tee. Nothing he's shown doing on screen in anyway justifies his rep in the fandom, it's 100% his look. SW is primarily an aesthetic, imo, and that's fine because it's a great one. In fact even his drat name is stupid. Did you miss the part where he out smarted Han Solo and captured him on Cloud City?

He tracks Solo and the Falcon, rats him out to the Empire, let's Vader and the Imps do the heavy lifting of catching and freezing Solo, presumably also gets paid by the Empire for setting the trap for Luke then absconds to sell Solo to Jabba and get paid again. At every turn he cleverly and skillfully avoids confrontations with the badass and lucky Rebel folks. And it's good that he did because he's utter crap in a real fight, as shown in the next movie where a blind Han Solo shoots him in such a way as to send him down the Sarlacc's gullet.

Cara Dune is cool. The Mandalorian is cool. Baby Yoda is cool. Werner Herzog is cool. Sabine Wren is cool and I hope she makes a cameo in this show. If Ahsoka also cameos I'll probably get choked up because I'm a silly nerd with too much stock in silly things, but I enjoy said things because I think they're cool and good. Thanks for reading

Interesting to me that we've gone from carbonite storage as a test case to full adoption on the part of the guild in less than five years. e: my only concern about Ahsoka is that Togrutas look like poo poo in live action

Don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but I can't believe I missed the obvious joke reference in the last episode; they had a literal Blue Harvest going on.

Crystal Star is the one with space-succubi, space-centaurs, and space-werewolves. Sorry. "Wyrwulves." Crystal Star is just lovely, in a not fun kind of way. There's nothing weirdly bad or interesting going on, just incredibly tired ideas written astonishingly badly even for mid-90's mass-produced genre fiction.

One thing I don't get about the episode is where did the pile of guns come from? And if the villagers just had a pile of guns, and someone who could teach them all how to shoot, why didn't they already? I know "they still couldn't beat the AT-ST" but still they'd be better off. I kinda wish we got more training montage actually. These guys go from literally not knowing you need to stab someone with the pointy part of a pointy stick, to learning how to shoot mostly and that's it. I agree with another poster who said it would have been better for the villagers to have done more, like the crackshot widow getting to do more, or setting more traps, or doing more tactical maneuvers than just hiding behind cover and shooting. I don't mind the tone of the show shifting a bit in this episode... if a show is the same tone all the time it becomes boring and predictable. Sometimes you're gonna have a lighthearted adventure, sometimes things are gonna get grim. It's also fun to see the characters in a greater variety of settings and emotions. I think what could have made this episode stronger is if we felt more internal conflict in Mando over staying. Yeah he wasn't eager to leave Baby Yoda behind but it was part of his overall game plan the whole time. I think it would have been more heartbreaking to see Mando actually get attached to the place more and decide to stay, then the bounty hunter shows up and he realizes he can't.

I don't even remember Courtship of Princess Leia, but I think I could still safely say Dark Saber and Shadows of the Empire were worse. At least it gave us Zsinji, who was great in the X-Wing books.

It's amazing to me that with all this history to mine, the best thing star wars is doing atm is like half a dozen comics, half a dozen books, and this one live action show.

I may not be an expert, but I've read the rules and spent hundreds of hours painting Star Wars legion miniatures just in case I ever meet someone IRL who plays. So I feel super confident pointing out that girls can't punch because they have hollow bones. But seriously. Re-watched the episode a couple more times and Gina's acting wasn't as bad as my first impression. The fist fight is great and that shot where Mando gets slammed face first into the dirt from Cara's haymaker makes me wince for the poor stuntman.  I'm someone who likes the new movies, particularly TLJ and Solo, and my standard argument for friends who don't care for them has been "You need to try and see them for what they are instead of resenting them for reminding you that you're not eleven years old anymore". Now I have to admit that's a poo poo argument, because watching The Mandalorian has me stuck in front of the TV with a stupid grin and feeling like I'm a slack jawed eleven year old again. Sure it's not perfect, but it doesn't have to be perfect to be great. I do hope they keep the EU and cartoon references to just references, though. The stuff from the cartoons should be cannon in the sense of them being in universe children's bedtime stories. They really need to steer clear of live action versions of animated characters showing up.
