Blower? I see a Holley type dominator carburetor lookalike with an air cleaner on top. They've got it turned sideways like they run on some of the 2 carb setups.

Isometric Bacon posted:Yeah. In the establishing shots you can see a bright light it corner of the frame, as well as the shadow panels, indicating it is just like the classic Larry Niven ringworld. Looks to me like it could be a smaller scale ringworld, like around a white dwarf instead of a regular main sequence star. Most white dwarfs are smaller than even the Earth and it would need a lot less material to make a ring around it than something that's the size of our sun.

The scale of the buildings and width/depth of the ring just seems wrong for that thing to be a “proper sized” ring world, so part of me was curious if it was around some kinda artificial sun, like a fusion lamp or something. They showed a wide shot where it had some sort of giant central spinning mirror for a few seconds.

Just watched this, of course the best episode of The Book of Boba Fett is an episode that practically doesn't feature anything to do with that show. Was a great episode but it's an odd choice to just throw what is apart from the last minute a Mandalorian episode into your new prestige tv series. When your series is only 7 episodes and you choose to essentially dedicate one of those episodes to another show is that revealing how little faith you have in what you created? Still, while it is an odd choice I'd much rather watch an episode of The Mandalorian over Boba Fett at this point. edit: Also oh boy it really shows how bad RR's directing is when you stack this episode up against his in this series.

I like how the ring station adheres to Star Wars not giving a gently caress about safety regulations. Spin gravity? Who needs that, just let them fall off the gantry into space.

Loved it, was grinning ear to ear the whole episode, and the T2 flashback of Mandalore getting laid to waste was fantastic. The only time it lost its mojo was when Fennec showed up at the end and brought us back into the storyline. Was expecting Mando to show up in this episode based on the musical cues from last time, but was NOT expecting him to bisect someone with the Darksaber in the first 5 minutes of the episode.

Life on Star Wars Halo sounds raw as gently caress. "Hey Mando my neighbor hit my mailbox and I want to hire you for revenge." "Ok what planet is he on" "Oh, it's down the street. Walking distance. Like, you can see it from here. That's cool, right?" "How many guards?" "Nah it's a meat market, you can just, like, walk in." "Weird. Do you want me to scare him, get some money, what?" "Oh you can fuckin kill him, I don't care. Ok see ya."

They needed to delay full production of Mando S3 for Pedro to do Last of Us for HBO so they spin up the boba fett show, get pedro for enough to make a stealth S3 Ep0 for Mando and have him in the final few episodes. Then carry the story directly into Mando S3.

Tatooine Jakku theory confirm? I'll need a video telling me how it's all explained.

At least Mos Espa and Jakku both have strong ties to the Hutts, so having similar Hutt-style architecture makes sense.

Yea maybe part of the trick would be to have had him keep his helmet on more i dunno - part of it is the dialogue - most of what boba has actually said in the show is him just asking stupid questions about stuff or whatever. I think "left for dead on the sands of tatooine" is amongst his best line reads and so its no wonder it anchored all the trailers

People really seem to want Boba Fett to be just like The Mandalorian, but their hands were kind of tied in just doing more of that, because they already have that show and this one needed to be different enough to not be a retread of the show they made that was already Boba Fett with the serial numbers filed off.

The episode was weirdly paced, with some really stretched-out scenes that didn't have a lot of bearing on things. We've already gotten a couple of "Rocky" sendups with Mando learning to ride the Blurrg and the crew assembling on the Razor Crest, so I dunno why we needed another one retrofitting the Space Mustang. Loved seeing the BD, and the K units on Mandalore were scary. Although maybe I missed something, but in the season one flashback to the Night of All of this is moot though because I was smiling the entire time. Oh and Amy Sedaris's very unsubtle bit after she revealed she used to bang a Jawa was a super  moment: "Size and shape don't matter, just make sure it fits your preferences." Mandrel posted:the N1 might be small enough that it would fit in say, a Razor Crest with a modified cargo bay They go out of their way to mention the crewing requirements of Gideon's cruiser in the S2 finale, in particular how it was barely running with the skeleton crew on board. I have to imagine it was a) to show how only five people could cut the crew down to one survivor, and b) to head off any questions about why Mando didn't just keep it. The Homer bubble is 100% gonna be for lil Grogs. Hopefully this will appease those dorks who keep wanting gore and overt violence in their kid's space fantasy, but I doubt it. CelticPredator posted:Yeah! I hope that wasn’t our BD…bc then where’s Cal at… I watch everything with captions because a diving incident messed up my hearing in one ear, and so far they haven't skimped on identifying characters by name even if they aren't said out loud (Camie, Fixer, LEP droid, the mayor, the Klatoonian in the beginning of this episode whose name I forgot, and lots of others). Notably, in this episode, they only called it "BD Droid." So I don't think it's our guy. Would be incredible though

Neon Knight posted:The Armorer straight up redubbed Sarah Connors narration of judgement day in T2. I half expected a close up of a K2 droid stomping on a Mandolorian helmet. Can we look forward to Din visiting that wasteland to atone in S3? Perhaps there remains a underground covert on the planet worshipping some unexploded Imperial payloads because weapons are their religion. Dr.Radical posted:Now that you say it, yeah that’s probably what it was. But when I was watching it I was thinking of the giant walker apocalypse memory from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Possibly a nod to the director's role as Kate Connor in Terminator: Salvation. Sentinel Red posted:Also, even though it's bad business, I love that Din's all 'it's on the house' when he's told it's for Boba. Not even mates rates. just straight up Mandobros poo poo. It's also pragmatic. Credits are credits. Legendary Bounty Hunter and Legendary Assassin feeling like they owe you a solid? Priceless. eke out posted:i love these hairless bulldogs They are Klatoonians, from Klatooine. Yes, really. Arc Hammer posted:he goes to Tatooine to meet with Amy Sedaris since she found a replacement Starship for him. Then at the end of the episode he's heading off to visit Groguand give him his beskar present before coming back to help Fett. What do you want to bet that Luke and Grogu are hanging out at old Ben Kenobi's place, conveniently on Tatooine Jose Oquendo posted:I'm sure this is something that gets addressed. In his season 3 journey he could end up with a bigger ship but he could hang on to the starfighter for when it's needed. like Bo Katann's light cruiser and its prominent fighter bay

Din should probably take a trip to a library and read a book or two rather than learn everything second or third hand from some fanatic. An interesting point I think someone upthread mentioned: Boba doesn't appear in this episode, but what this episode does do is establish by comparison that of the various Mandalorian survivors out there that he is the most grounded and practical. That does actually move his story forwards a little, and might be important if they are bringing everyone back together for Mando S3.

Gives us some time to gently caress around (literally) with some jawas?!?!?! ITS SICK AS gently caress!?!? Honestly there should be a star wars tv series about a bunch of mechanics who are just loving around in full size scale reproduction star ships while shooting the poo poo, talking with customers & droids, etc Its so cool when sci fi properties build out these elaborate prop vehicles with all the gribblies
