Given they were on speeders, I wonder if they are somehow linked to the human woman we saw in one of the trailers.  Also, I know the Tuskens have prohibitions about permanent structures, but you'd think they'd pause to go get some of the water the raiders left behind at the steading.

Handen posted:And what the gently caress happened to the Twi'leks? Bib Fortuna was a creepy sawtoothed monster that couldn't speak english and had glowing red eyes. All of the twi'leks in this episode were basically normal milquetoast humans with body paint and pointy hats. Have you ever considered that maybe Bib Fortuna was just real loving ugly? Mandrel posted:I also was confused by the protocol droid comment, which was funny but what the hell is that attendant droid's job if he can't even speak any languages? Just to give unwanted opinions? gently caress off dude, get Fett some coffee That's the torture droid from Return of the Jedi. Probably the last of the old crew still in the building and Fett knew he needed someone to introduce the people coming in.

NowonSA posted:Admittedly Star Wars TV is going to the dried up Tatooine well too often. I'd be fine with Boba expanding to inter-system crime lording the very near future (Hi I run a cartel, but a cool cartel based on respect not like Crimson Dawn which is based on cutting out tongues) and making the Obi-Wan show the last Tatooine thing they do for quite awhile. Also, I got the sense the kid knew where to look. Not that you can dig a shallow hole anywhere and get some fruit.

I don't care how many times Star Wars goes back to the Tatooine sand-well, I love it everytime. It's a big dust ball with so much character. It continues to feel diverse and expansive even if the scenery is always the same.

Since Fett showed up in Mando with a gaffi stick I figured there would be a story with the Tuskens and we are getting just that. We didn’t need one back then because he dies.

The star tours pilot droid and max rebo being in the bar was cool. Not really sure why a guy with a jetpack and arm guns sits inside a circle of shields instead of just flying to the top of a building and blasting them. Sand Goro? Tatooines entire industry is water harvesting but you can dig 8 inches anywhere and find unsealed things of water? Gammoreans being regular fat dudes with oversized masks looks just as poo poo as it did in mandalorian. Bobas actor is way too old and fat to be playing a 36 yr old. The guys 61 for Christ's sake. His armor looks ridiculous with his gut. RotJ boba was a skinny dude. Eh this was pretty disappointing but I never gave a poo poo about boba anyway. Shoulda made a show with Bossk. banned from Starbucks fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Dec 30, 2021 |

On a series derived from laser swords, space magic, and monsters/aliens, were my son and I entertained? Sure, absolutely. Was it better than The Mandolorian? Maybe not at this point, but Mando had its share of weak episodes along the way. It's a solid 8.5/10 start and I'm interested in watching the rest. I have a feeling that the Asohka Tano show might end up being be better, but whatevs. The only thing that doesn't jive with Boba in Mando is the constant bacta infusions. He badassed his way through those episodes without breaking a sweat but now all of a sudden he's...immunocompromised? Boba from "The Tragedy" is kind of what I was hoping for here - a ruthless, unstoppable, killing machine capable of taking out an entire platoon of storm troopers in one go. This is what was alluded to in the preview at the end of Mando with how he slaughtered Bib without a second thought. I liked the flashbacks, particularly the sarlacc pit with Jabba's destroyed ship in the background.

This is what was alluded to in the preview at the end of Mando with how he slaughtered Bib without a second thought. The flashbacks showing him being affected by being in the Sarlacc and then being abused in the desert without any protection at all work for me to demonstrate that he's not at his physical peak, may never get there again after 5 years, and that perhaps explains why he's made the decision to rather rely on his cunning and wits to take over Jabba's operation in his own way than go back to bounty hunting. Maybe that's how the series will end? Fully healed he realizes he can't cut it as a crime lord and goes back to bounty hunting? I'd love for Filoni to really mix poo poo up and show Fett's prowess for leadership is genuine but after realizing he can't be a crime lord, he meets up with Omega who brings him to a planet populated by Clones and becomes the leader for his "brothers". That seems to me like a fitting arc for the Boba Fett seen in AOTC and the Clone Wars..

Any clone left would be completely decrepit by now. Rex was already hurting a little bit during Rebels, and that’s almost a decade prior to Mando/Book of boba Fett. i want to see Rex show up in live action sooner or later, I don’t care how old he’s going to look

feedmyleg posted:They retconned him into RotJ already If you’re talking about the older guy with the strike team on Endor, that’s not Rex, it’s still a character named Nik Sant. Filoni once joked about making that character into Rex, but has since very clearly stated that he ultimately chose not to change that character to Rex. Hera says at the end of Rebels that Rex was at Endor, but in what role is unknown.

He's been director of photography on a lot of stuff - true, a lot of Kevin Smith movies, which are not known for their dramatic camera work - but also shows like True Blood and Pushing Daisies. Now granted, I don't know which exact episodes he worked on, but I remember at least Pushing Daisies to be very pretty visually.

After years of stories and novels and countless iterations of canonicity about how Boba escaped from the sarlacc (including one where I'm pretty sure he fell back in lmao), I really enjoyed how he just flamethrower-ed his way out in like five minutes.

Handen posted:And the expedited rush to explain how Fett made it out of the sarlaac in three shots or less had the feeling of those cheap halloween mystery box gags you set up for elementary school aged kids. E.g., put your hand behind this curtain and feel the snakes (cold spaghetti), witches eyeballs (peeled grapes), and boogers (raisins in honey.) Like, okay, in the festering gut of an immortal sand worm, you and the other victim are both standing on a hard surface and there's enough air that the insides flap like curtains. And we get it bro, you vape. Not sure how that gave you the strength to punch through a living animal but okay. And how does he seemingly weigh 50lbs more than when he fell in? I can only suspend my disbelief so far. This is kind of at odds with my last post but I agree with this. RotJ is my favorite Star Wars movie but as a kid the entire beginning of the film was terrifying to me, what with the rancor and the horrifying premise of the sarlacc painfully digesting creatures alive in a burning choking pitch black stomach for a thousand years. This episode definitely makes the sarlacc way less scary, intentionally or not, showing that the stomach is shallow enough to be well-lit and breezy and you can just kind of stand up and walk around and pick at stuff. banned from Starbucks posted:Sand Goro? I literally said this out loud when the creature appeared.
