Big Mean Jerk posted:It’s from the prison break episode last year. Mando helps some scumbags break a dude out but they kill a New Republic Officer despite his protests and then double cross him, so he turns around and stuffs them all into a cell and radios DAVE FILONI, X-WING PILOT the location of their boss’s hideout. Ah okay, I thought the part about getting Bill Burr and crew locked up sounded familiar, but I didn't think all of it was from the same episode. Guess I forgot more about season 1 than I realized v  v

I enjoyed this episode for what it was. Little on plot development, big on world building. Not much humor, too much Amy Sedaris and a whole lot of spider-horror that was genuinely tense for a while there. I reckon there’ll be a few 13 year olds having nightmares after that.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Everyone keeps mentioning KOTOR but my ear-to-ear grin was from memories of mobbing up to go on Krayt hunts in SWG and having to worry about some rear end in a top hat snaking the loot at the end. Late, I'm sorry, just had to comment on the SWG thing. I was melee-soloing them for a while, with a powerhammer. Was more fun then playing a permadeath jedi. I think I had like 30 pearls laying around in my house and never used them before i quit.

Chill Penguin posted:Gonna be so hype when somebody tells Djarin to seek “Fulcrum”. Or hell, just throw up the glyph and he's got to track down what it means. chitoryu12 posted:But otherwise Tatooine is a pretty useless planet for anyone who's not hiding from something, usually the law. Both canons established that mining on Tatooine thousands of years ago was given up because the metals turned out to be useless when extracted; the Jawa sandcrawlers are leftover mining rigs that they turned into mobile homes. Strictly speaking, "From a Certain Point of View" is New-Canon, but its canonicity is deliberately questionable (some chapters seem meant to be canonical, like Yoda's or the last one, and some are deliberately jokey, like Gladstone's and the one I'm about to reference). In it, there's a bit of a throwaway where a Jawa thinks about how there is a LOT of stuff buried under the sand: "Entombed in the endless, gritty expanse were more downed ships than there were ships in the sky. More droids than any ten factories could produce in a century. More wealth, more resources, more history than could ever be excavated or recorded." Again, questionable canonicity and seriousness (that chapter is by Griffin McElroy), but you'll take "Leia was always the plan" from my cold, dead hands, so I choose to believe at least some of the stories are strongly canonical. And even if there's nothing of real value on Tatooine, it seems like it can survive just on its status as the last truck stop before nowhere -- it seems to be located in a spot that no one wants to go to, but there is literally nowhere else to go if trouble finds you in its region. Add to that its status as Jabba's seat and an intentional destination for lowlifes on the run, and you've got enough travelers and trade to support a small population.

Spider design was great. Forget Timothy Olyphant, I want frog mom to join the crew. That was definitely the weakest episode of the show. Zebulon posted:I'm not quite sure what to think of the wee lil' Yodlet eating several of the frog lady's unfertilized eggs and it just being played for laughs. That seems kind of awkward, y'know?

skasion posted:Travel between systems with no hyperdrive is in ESB. It was stupid there too tho I might be remembering stuff from the West End RPG, but I think most ships with hyperdrive also have a backup hyperdrive that's much slower. Like a normal hyperdrive might be x2, so if a base x1 journey between two systems took a week, in a x2 ship it would take two weeks. The backup hyperdrive would be something like x16 so it'd take 32 weeks. On the other hand, Earth's nearest neighbor is Alpha-Centauri, which is 4.3 light years away. Assuming "Sublight" translated to half of lightspeed, it would take a sublight ship 8.6 years to get from Earth to Alpha-Centauri. And most systems in Star Wars are much further away from each than 4.3 LY.

Don't science Star Wars - its all just fantasy. There is no place for it. It's as fast as the plot needs it to be.

I don’t think it was played just for laughs. It’s another bit of foreshadowing that the kid might be walking down a dangerous path. We got a glimpse of it last season when he force choked Gina Carrino, and even at the start of this episode we get a close up shot of the kid’s reaction to Mando murdering the dude with the jet pack after bargaining a trade. He’s taking everything in and it’s shaping him into something the Jedi might not be willing to accept.

I wasn’t terribly bothered by it, but I think them being unfertilized is slightly offset by them being the eggs of an obviously sentient being. Like, I don’t think there’s any way you can do that without it being at least a little bit horrifying. It would be like eating caviar made from human ovum.

All I'm saying is that when his path of straddling the light and the dark side of the force becomes a major plotline for this series, we're going to take a look back at all the little, seemingly innocuous moments that put him on that path in the first place. But yes I also agree Baby Yoda eat dem eggs.
