He hasn't yet, and Crime Queen Fennec is just more proof, but he's going to blow one if he keeps it up. I mean, that one was pretty telegraphed. Casting a fairly big-name actor with an elaborate distinctive costume design, a big in-universe reputation, given a sudden undignified death on her first appearance and then the "corpse" walked up on by someone mysterious at the credits?

General Dog posted:Here’s a question- is it possible that Grogu spent a large portion of the time between the Clone Wars and the present in some sort of suspended animation? Only ask because of Ahsoka’s comment that his memory becomes “dark” for that time period, and it opens up the possibility that his development process isn’t as glacial as we might assume otherwise. I’ve wondered the same but they’ll likely not reveal it anytime soon if at all. Unless they EU up a book or comic or something.

I assumed by "went dark" she meant more in the philosophical sense. He probably spent most of the time since he avoided becoming a chicken fried youngling being traded between mercs and hunted by the empire so he spent most of the time scared and angry. She did say she had concerns about training him because of it. Din is just finally pulling him out of that dark place.

Given that Filoni mentioned/implied that the ending scene of Rebels occurs after Ahsoka's appearance in The Mandalorian, how does she know about Thrawn? What, exactly, does she want with him? She was stuck on Malachor when Thrawn was introduced, as well as when Ezra jumped them both to parts unknown. It's an awfully large and convenient assumption to make that she's after Thrawn to discover something about Ezra, when none of the scenes laying the groundwork for this have occurred onscreen.

My only thought is that it would allow for Grogu to at least reach adolescence within Din’s lifetime. hexate posted:Given that Filoni mentioned/implied that the ending scene of Rebels occurs after Ahsoka's appearance in The Mandalorian, how does she know about Thrawn?

Wait wasn't Bib Fortuna vaporized on the Sail Barge when it exploded? I know at this point death has become a minor inconvenience to Star Wars but it was kinda jarring for the show to be like "Bib Fortuna's back baby!" and then kill him again in the span of five seconds with no comment. Hell what did Fett even have against him?

She did say she had concerns about training him because of it. I’d say it’s a combination of that and Grogu not using or cutting himself off from the force during those years, whether due to lack of training or it being a survival mechanism. I think Cere in Jedi: Fallen Order did something kinda similar (Severing her connection to the force after touching the dark side until the events of the game).

What, exactly, does she want with him? I thought he said it's possible it was then kind of laughed it off. Yeah found the quote. “It’s an interesting one, that’s not necessarily chronological,” Filoni said. “I think the thing that people will most not understand is they want to go in a linear fashion, but as I learned as a kid, nothing in Star Wars really works in a linear fashion. You do [Episodes] Four, Five, and Six and then One, Two, and Three. So in the vein of that history, when you look at the epilogue of Rebels, you don’t really know how much time has passed. So, it’s possible that the story I’m telling in The Mandalorian actually takes place prior to that. Possible. I’m saying it’s possible.” So he qualifies it 3 times, not sure if I'd take that as fact given that.

Hell what did Fett even have against him? I figure he watched Jabba get strangled and said "gently caress THIS" and jumped overboard before the barge blew up. If you like (and I do) you can concoct a whole arc with him struggling to survive in the desert, making his way out reforged to have the courage and will to take Jabba's place, waging a war to become the heir, killing former friends and allies along the way, and becoming more of a monster until he finally reaches the peak and allows himself to become a mock Hutt in all but name, and just as he's finally reached something like satisfaction, Fett comes in and dethrones him with one shot not out of malice, but to send a message to all the other crimelords that Boba's in town and he's not taking any of your poo poo. Probably has a scene in the novelization where as he's flopping onto the ground in front of the throne with a hole in his chest, he looks up into the eyes of his former slave girl and sees only hatred and realizes he'd been given a precious second chance to do better, to do more with his life, but he squandered it on more murder and crime. And then he dies. If they still did the "Tales of Whatever" short story collections, I guarantee one just like that would be in "Tales of Boba's Palace".

Hell what did Fett even have against him? I went back to see when he's last around in ROTJ and he disappears, along with almost everyone else. When Leia starts strangling Jabba, you can see people literally running for the door behind him. Guess Bib jumped out with all the other hangers-on.

And then he dies. "Of the day's annoyances, these: That Boba Fett shot me in the loving chest." By the way, it made me so happy to see that they gave him the staff that came with his original action figure but was never on screen before. Filoni did a similar thing with Ackbar's staff on an episode of The Clone Wars.

It's from the Boba story in Tales of the Bounty Hunters, which was his semi-official backstory prior to the Prequels. Something about "never having so much as held a woman in his arms". EdIT: Found it. quote:Fett shook his head. He sat down in the corner facing hers, moving carefully, and propped his rifle across his knees. He had to move carefully; his knees had been getting worse in recent years. “Sex between those not married,” said Fett, “is immoral.” EU Boba Fett pre-Prequels was kind of a weird fundamentalist rear end in a top hat.

Rewatching Clone Wars stuff to get up to the seasons I haven't really seen and between the ending of the Ziro arc being a bit anticlimactic, the Nightsisisters coming up with a stupidly convoluted plan to kill Dooku, the resurrection of Maul, and the Mortis arc I think I've worked out why I stopped watching around the end of S3.

That scene was from Boba's story in Tales from the Bounty Hunters, not Jabba's Palace. And not wanting to have sex with a slave that was delivered to his room hardly qualified as "volcel". But I agree that designating characters as incel or volcel is dumb. That whole scene in Tales always seemed completely unnecessary and like it should have been cut. We really didn't need a scene of Boba being offered the opportunity to rape Leia and saying, "No thanks" to establish him as "not that bad of a guy". You don't get a pat on the back for "not raping", which, even as a lovely 13 year old back in the 90's, is how that scene came off to me.
