Madam Garsa Fwip being More Than She Lets On is almost a given for "I've watched a show before" reasons and they wouldn't keep putting her in if there weren't more too her than simple casino/disney+ level of obliquely implied brothel owner. The point about having a clever way to have the Guy Who Always Wears A Beskar Helmet not be wearing it right before he's jumped by laser shield assassins was a v. good observation.

Fun to think about the "rules" of storytelling and how they work in serial stories in an overarching universe like this. If the mayor's identity is supposed to be a mystery, a mystery identity should end up being someone the audience knows from early on in the story. If the audience doesn't have the full list of suspects then they feel cheated out of being able to guess ahead of time or see in hindsight where the clues were. If it's the casino owner then that works whereas other suggestions in this thread are people or groups that haven't been seen or mentioned yet. Except, if it's a shared universe then does being seen or mentioned in any of the other movies or TV shows count? Or, since we know the show will continue past this season can you introduce someone new at the end without it feeling like a weak resolution? Disney/MCU shows so far have arguably done both of those things.

The MCU in particular has a thriving secondary industry of sites springing up to explain who that surprise credits stinger villain is to people so I could see this going any way. Who was Moff Gideon when he showed up, except someone with a title we recognised played by an actor good at playing bad guys?

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Didn't Din literally say in the S2 finale that he had nothing better to do and might as well help Bo Katan retake Mandalore? I don't believe he did. It went straight from Din trying to hand over the Darksaber, Gideon explaining why that's a no go, droids return, Gideon's blaster try, X-Wing shows up, Luke slaughters everyone, Din and Luke talk about Grogu, Luke and Grogu leave, shot of Din looking forlorn, turbolift closes, credits. There's no talk about Din's future plans. Which is smart of them, because it gives them the freedom to do whatever they want for S3.

If there is a hidden puppetmaster, she's the only logical candidate, but I'm not sold this show's going there.

Max Rebo always looked inflatable to me so I choose to believe he puffed up with air, blasted it out of his snoot, jetted up and away from the barge and landed gently in the sand.

 That's so weird. I watched the Sarlacc battle scene before I posted that and he wasn't there. I backed up and watched it again, and he's in one other shot while Luke is on the plank poo poo-talking Jabba, but it's like he disappears as soon as Luke salutes. Bib was in on it

I am thoroughly enjoying BOBF. It's about as subtle as an air raid siren, and about as deep as a puddle, but I'm really digging it. I also think it will play a lot better when you can just binge it in its entirety. But drat I can't wait for Bounty Hunters go Bananas in the final few eps. However, I do hope that we're done with flashbacks because I would love to see the present-day plot finally move forward.

Star Wars finally stopping obsessing over its past and moving forward? That's the best joke I've heard all day and I've heard exact one joke today

It's really weird story plotting how they showed us Boba escaping the Sarlacc pit with his armour on and getting it stripped, then him going back to the pit to get it. We know it isn't there, we also know how and when it gets it back, the sequence didn't really move the story forwards.

They're trying to stretch a single movie's worth of plot into 7 episodes of runtime.

they had those raft things and I assume a trip out to the Sarlaac on the party barge isn't a quick errand, they probably make a whole day or weekend of it. I figure folks probably zip back and forth to the palace from the barge rather than stay the whole trip. so Bib could've just bounced, maybe he had work in the morning

Seems weird for him to leave. Most likely it's bad editing, but it does leave a door open for them to maybe explain it in this show...

Maybe he stepped away for a moment, then when he saw that lightsabre light up he ran for the exits. Seems the sensible thing to do when a self-proclaimed Jedi turns out to actually have one and can use it to hack up all the guards.
