Spartacus Season 1 and Gods of the Arena

Spartacus season 2 and 3 are great, and the show finale is absolutely incredible. The first two episodes of Season 1 are literally unwatchable though and even episode 3 is only hinting at the tone change that's about to hit you like whiplash.

That is definitely a show that dives off a cliff and then somehow manages to climb back up by the skin of its teeth. You can't recommend Spartacus to someone without warning them that the opening is rough.

Have they considered the possibility that Jango Fett is Space Polish and it was Slav I this whole time?

Obviously Disney wants to be sensitive to aspects of bigotry. So they're changing the name of Boba's ship from Slave I to Remus 2.

Yeah, so we don't call it Slave 1 anymore. It doesn't jive with the diversity/inclusion objectives that Disney have set out for the wider brand, mmmkay?

https://screenrant.com/star-wars-boba-fett-ship-name-not-slave1-reason/

I suspect that Boba will actually rename it the Respectful Rancor by the end of the series.

That article's bullshit because it's based on Lego toys which at least a few years ago (I think possibly even before Disney owned Star Wars) started calling all of the named character ships "Luke Skywalker's X-Wing" or whatever because it make it easier for small kids and for parents to know what ship is what.

i thought the hint with danny trejo saying something like, 'dont worry he'll be back,' was that he was indeed there to double cross fett in the most obvious plan ever, and he's prolly gonna get eaten by the rancor when the rancor sides with fett in a couple episodes cause a... cause a the force

Yeah, that was him going "Daddy's got to go to work, but he'll be back."

That said, I legit thought the Rancor was gonna snap and just chomp Danny Trejo in half the second Boba was out of the room just for the sake of pure hilarity and I'm mildly disappointed that it didn't.

Wtf does calling a made up ship “slave 1” have to do with real life slavery?

Are they also going to retcon that Wookiee are used as slaves as depicted in Disney approved Star Wars canon such as Solo and Jedi:fallen order not to mention countless comics and novels

And why did they embrace the prequels as canon when the most memorable thing about the phantom menace were the strange racial caricatures

Well, isn't this a coincidence? So, um, how you doing? You're busy, I know and I don't want to distract you, please, don't let me interrupt you.
I always imagined in my head that Boba Fett's ship being called Slave 1 was just a technical term, like how in computer terminology, you can have master -> slave definitions, so I always thought Fett had a very no nonsense plain way of naming his ships. Also, maybe his suit had a "master" controller that could pilot his ship remotely which would be useful since he often needs a quick getaway.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
Slave describes a thing which is bad but is not an inherently bad word which denigrates a section of the population just by being used so it being the name of a morally ambiguous character's ship is fine

If Disney don't want to use it on their toys fine whatever, if there is anyone seriously suggesting that words which describe bad things shouldn't be used in fiction then we're into the realm of doubleplusungood orwellian bollocks

I didn't read any malice in the Rancor Keeper's words at all but then I know goons are routinely excellent at totally misinterpreting things in TV

The only other Rancor Keeper we've seen in Star Wars was also portrayed as soft hearted and genuinely caring for their charge so I think they were just building and expanding upon that. It being Danny Trejo is just a cool detail that ties in with Robert Rodriguez directing and the whole setting of the show.

Feel free to quote this post and call me an idiot fucker moron if the Rancor tries to eat Boba
