Lol, the troopers did kinda go "Knee guns? gently caress this!" I wonder if the trajectory of Fett's rocket would have carried it into the locked target if the other lander wasn't there

Cameron Monaghan is cool and a great actor, but lmao, as if there aren't enough heroes who are white dudes. I would have played the game day 1 if I could've been a Wookiee or something, or if it was create-a-character based. Also lol at Respawn's reasoning when asked why they didn't make the protagonist female.

Ghost Leviathan posted:A protagonist that's actually interesting, or at least enables interesting storytelling, will be compelling regardless of who or what they are. On the one hand, yes. I like The Mandalorian because it's a great show and the few character beats we have seen with Din are good. The fact that a Latino like me plays him makes it even better but doesn't make or break it, the show is good enough. On the other, I don't care much for Cassian Andor, but seeing that the next Star Wars TV show is gonna have another Latino lead (one that I saw on Mexican telenovelas when I was a kid with my mom), does make me a bit more interested on it and hopeful that it is good. That said, if the show is bad, then I'm gonna be annoyed, wouldn't give it a pass just because it has a Latino lead. It's a complicated issue.

Owlbear Camus posted:I still maintain they should separate him from his armor as a stakes-raiser/cliffhanger. He was flat out RoboCopping shots in this episode. Get him out of the armor communicates he's vulnerable, poo poo's getting real, and puts him in a position to develop the Creed thing. Is he really gonna Sepukku with Grogu's life on the line? Is murking everyone who saw/humiliated him the get out of jail free card? Or can he deradicalize with the help of Bo-Katan's crew? Not to mention a lot of real fighters could easily/ do have a belly. The beer gut dude who can wreck people (including overly ripped assholes who can lift but not fight) is totally a thing.

I've been on board with the episodic, RPG-esque nature of the show so far, especially since it has introduced a lot of fun, pulpy genre narrative elements, but this episode kind of sucked. The whole set piece battle felt cheap in a Stargate kind of way, and Boba Fett was reintroduced in the most uninteresting and cringeworthy manner possible. All the tension of having Boba demand his armour back but not being able to get it was completely deflated by having him just take it in the end, and his performance fully armed honestly felt like it was written by a 12-year-old. The show has had its lovely fanservice moments, but overall it's resisted really leaning into them. If this episode is any indication of how they're going to handle things going forward, though, I'm starting to lost interest.

Get that man to the Armorer for a refit As I said upthread, the chestplate is sitting where it's supposed to. If it goes lower it interferes with the ability to lean forward.  Dude just needs to get a proper waist belt and codpiece to finish the look. The real issue with Mando armor is the complete lack of ribcage protection on the flanks.

After looking at at some side by sides of Boba and Mando yeah you're right it just looks so ill fitting with the dinky shoulders, like the armor was designed to be more maneuverable and sleek but that's lost on a bigger dude.

Now I'm wondering if any of the beskar the Armorer didn't recover was reforged to make the Dark Troopers. Calling it now, the Dark Troopers are made of Beskar, Mando will have to fight dark side gremlin clones of Grogu and the New Republic will show up to attack Gideon's fleet because Mando managed to pull his faulty transponder from the wreckage and they still want to give him a ticket but they get pulled into a space battle.

If we get a space battle before it’s all said and done, I want those two Xwing pilots to show up and just absolutely wreck Gideon’s tie fighters all by themselves like it’s just another Tuesday at the office.

It's not made clear exactly what timeframe the drug dealer stuff took place on, so both can still be true. It was just Abrams being a hack and quickly throwing in some bullshit to make Poe "more complex" and excuse introducing a bunch of new characters.
