Crossguard sabers are cool and good, hth. I hope we see Ezra with one when he comes to save Mando and Grogu in the finale.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Isn't the ~* l o r e *~ explanation for the crossguards is that Kylo's crystal is SO RED AND SO loving EVIL that it needs additional exhaust to stabilize the beam? or something equally dumb? Like most things Kylo Ren does, it was done in poor judgement and done poorly, so he hosed up, cracking his blooded crystal which caused it to be super unstable, so it's just more powerful than a typical saber hilt is built to hold. Nothing to do with evil.

Are you seriously sitting there typing about how a lightsaber design makes less sense than other lightsaber designs. And then trying to argue about which kind of fake impossible laser sword is cooler. Like you're not even stating it like it's an opinion you're acting like it's something that's been demonstrated in a lab. Like people sat there with test tubes and proved this fake beam sword is not as cool as other beam swords because it doesn't "make sense".

His shoulder pad thing and outfit is classic kyle katarn. In mando fish guy is like "this thing is worth $$$$$$$$$$$" so I think it's a classic/rare piece of equipment, it was tarped down which really sells that project car vibe

No More Heroes had the claymore lightsaber- sorry, beam katana first. I still like the mobile pillbox design of that transport, it's definitely a vehicle with a particular purpose, and a utilitarian design that makes sense to have different configurations. Reminds me a bit of Warhammer 40k vehicles like the Rhino. teagone posted:Ok, but what if it's more Excalibur than Braveheart? And why the separation? What if Yojimbo + Excalibur? Or even better... Highlander + Yojimbo? That brings Afro Samurai to mind. Speaking of, Mando is definitely coded as a knight errant of a secretive Knights Templar esque knightly order trying to bring itself back from the brink. Someone's probably going to bring up in-universe Jedi comparisons at some point.

Welp. Goodbye Honda Civic lmao. [edit] Oh, this was the RR episode? Ehhh.... it was alright. The fight on the Tython hills looked and felt really cheap though. Tython in general was a pretty boringly shot location. I expected way better from Rodriguez.
