Orthanc6 posted:Last time she asked him this was season 1 where again, Paz Vizsla was questioning Din's character. It is odd she chose to ask this after the duel, not before, but she did the same in season 1, asking only when the 2 duelists were locked together with knives ready to kill each other. So I guess it's how they resolve duels without constantly getting their members killed. Yeah, I think it's going to a synthesis of the ritualistic fundamentalist part of Armorer and the pragmatic secular modern way Bo symbolizes. Also I friggin loved that the Armorer actually used her tongs in the training session.

When Bo Katan's group said he "wasn't a real Mandalorian" Fett responded "Never said I was", so I'm assuming he doesn't give a poo poo about Mando stuff beyond his armour. He has no connection to Mandalore that we've seen, I think, other than Jango being a Mandalorian. Maybe he heard stories and poo poo from him, but I don't think he ever went to Mandalore or maybe even met any others.

Thundercracker posted:Also I friggin loved that the Armorer actually used her tongs in the training session. Its cool worldbuilding & characterization. She has to use them by necessity, as they are training with a lightsaber & you need beskar to block it safely. However, if we think back to her melting the spear down - beskar isn't supposed to be used to make weapons because it can easily defeat their armor. Yet she is undeniably able to fight with her forge weapons. Is she the most dangerous mandalorian in a close combat fight? She has the implements to defeat the invincible beskar and the combat practice to use them.

When Boba's talking to Mando about his stuff he says "The armor was given to my father, Jango, by your forebears" (emphasis mine).

He establishes his claim to the armor without ever calling himself a mandalorian. I’m semi-surprised there wasn’t more friction from Din over that. e: on 2nd thought, Din is bad about playing the “well technically I never lied” game, so maybe not.

Din is all about honor and respect which is why he’s Mandobros with Boba. Boba gonna teach him how to properly say “I ammmmm Din Djarin.”

He also let Cobb Vanth use the armor provided he got it back at the end. Din is a good dude.

The best talky parts of Mando/Boba are when they slow down and examine Mandalorian culture through unreliable narrators, so the biggest disappointment with Boba Fett for me is that he hasn't really challenged it. If you got ol' Din Djarin in the middle of a Mandalorian political axis, and Bo Katan's all about passion and individualism on the one end while the Armorer's all about duty and collectivism on the other, I feel like Boba should represent a third wheel that's all about wearing cool armor, not giving a poo poo, and being really good at killing people. The kinda guy who would 'yeah ok' at the Darksaber lore being explained and then shoot its owner in the back of the head while they were sleeping cause its cool as hell and probably would sell for a lot of money.

It feels like more could have been made from that big spear than just Grogu's little gift bag. Where'd the rest of it go? It also did feel a little strange that Tattooine, that didn't even accept Republic credits a while back, now has commercial flights and Republic patrols.

I totally missed it the first time around, but when Sedaris is talking about how she used to gently caress a Jawa, one of the two selling her scrap asks her out and she blows him off.

Despite it ostensibly being in Hutt Space, the Empire occupied Tatooine during A New Hope and after Jabba died and the Emperor blowed up the locals kicked the Imps out. I'd say that with the power vacuum more people would be willing to accept the credits again, especially if the Empire brought the currency with them during the occupation.

I think Jango Fett might have done that, but one of the key points here is that Boba Fett, despite being a literal clone of Jango, is not like his father. The (presumably) years he spent with the Sand People changed him. He wants to be a figure of honor and respect. Ironically he wants to do this by being a crime lord - the only authority figures with which he is truly familiar. Boba doesn't really care about Mandalore or the Darksaber or The Way. He wanted the armor back because it was pretty much the only tangible link he had to his father. I think in some ways Boba does represent a third way but that third way is more "learn from and accept the past but then build something new." BrianWilly posted:It feels like more could have been made from that big spear than just Grogu's little gift bag. Where'd the rest of it go? Probably into the communal "pot" to build more armor stuff.

I mean, at some point we have to address the elephant in the room that these current TV properties are setting up all sorts of interesting Star Warsian poo poo -- the retaking of Mandalore, the uplifting of Tattooine, the remnants of the Empire, even hints of reigniting the Jedi-Mandalorian conflict........ ...and none of this is going to matter to the galaxy at large because it can't, the First Order still comes and fucks everything up, we still have to go all the way back to square one, again, or else pretend that Din, Boba, and Bo-Katan are all just sitting pretty on their glorious thriving Mandolarian nation while Luke and Leia and Han all sadly die while watching everything they've worked for trudge back to the drawing board.

It's not like there's a vast, recently decanonized collection of multimedia that showed how easy it was to tell side stories alongside a main story that was about how miserable and lovely the galaxy was under a bunch of brutal space fascists. Or even a recent set of cartoons that showed how easy it was to take the utter slop a set of three lovely setting-ruining movies left the franchise with and do something amazing with them. It's clearly loving impossible. Why bother?

That….. is really not to far out there. No one on Tattooine gives a gently caress about who sits on the iron throne. When it was the empire, you had to deal with stormtroopers checking papers. With the New Republic, you get speeding tickets for having some fun. New boss same as the old boss. And Mandalor was neutral through the clone wars. It took Death Watch and a Sith Lord to drag the glorious thriving mandalorian nation into the war, and I doubt they’ll be rushing to fight besides anyone in the future.
