Grand Fromage posted:So when Mando needs to pee does he have to hope there's a habitable planet nearby he can stop off at? Do Mandalorians pee? The old ship had a toilet I think. In From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back, there's a story about Wedge and Janson reforming Red Squadron after Hoth where it starts with Wedge thinking about how he'd always wanted to be a pilot, but he'd never heard about the "maximum absorbency undergarments" worn by pilots on long missions among inglorious aspects of being a combat pilot.

Grogu’s been training with Luke for months and that mf still can’t even give him a little matching karate gi. He’s out there tripping over his own raggedy burlap diaper dress trying to dodge laser blasts from the remote this sadistic virgin monk set on him.

Grogu is a non-verbal 50 year old suffering from severe PTSD. He doesn’t need training involving lightsabers and magic, he needs therapy.

The main purpose of Ahsoka's appearance in this episode was to subtly but firmly put the 'hey yeah I was a Jedi and I knew Anakin was Darth Vader but I never appeared in the OT for Reasons' conversation between Ahsoka and Luke in the past. It's happened. We didn't see it. They know about each other and are cool with each other. No we are not going to go into it'.. This is necessary to shut the fans up but it is all about (half) answering questions that didn't need to be asked.

Rancor has to show up, it's been pushed to the background for too long. I feel like there's an awful lot to tie up in a single finale episode but maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. fartknocker posted:The second they showed that silhouette in the distance my mind went holy poo poo is that gonna be Cad Bane and I grinned like an idiot as it got closer and the hat became obvious.  As soon as I saw the hat I started saying out loud "there's no loving way they're bringing in Cad loving Bane" and got more and more excited as it became more clear.

It’ll be loving hilarious if they just off him with the Rancor to renew the cycle of ‘cool and foreboding, kills one guy, dies hilariously’ for Star Wars villains. Really bookend the season.

speculating that in the long-run, Grogu's final challenge would be inheriting the Darksaber by defeating someone that killed the Mandalorian without doing it with a heart of dark side revenge

“OK ok enough with the Mandalorian stuff. Get back to the steampunk cybernetic cool teen squad already” - Nobody, ever I haven’t really kept up with the thread so I don’t actually know the general opinion of Boba Fett but personally I thought this was a meandering, pointless show up until they just decided to make it Mandalorian Season 2.5 and I’m silently dreading having to go back to the main plot.

I basically agree here but I think it loving sucks and very much wanted to see that conversation. It's the most interesting thing that could happen with these characters and not doing it is some coward poo poo.

Martytoof posted:“OK ok enough with the Mandalorian stuff. Get back to the steampunk cybernetic cool teen squad already” Otoh, despite these criticisms, I'm enthralled. The Wookie bounty hunter felt on-screen for the right amount of time, though, they could've worn that out. (If Darth Maul has two lightsabers in one and General Grievous had six lightsabers, it stands to reason there is a third Wookie with even more bands across his chest, but I kid) galenanorth fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Feb 3, 2022 |

man I pooped myself when Cad Bane showed up. He didn't look as menacing as he did in the shows, but he's kind of a hard character to get perfect. Also, I'm predicting Boba Fett and The Mandalorian get in over their heads, Grogu feels this through the force and goes to save them, mirroring Luke's dilemma in Empire. But this time Luke trusts his instincts and goes with him and Grogu ends up with the armor and a lightsaber, as things should be.

Maybe that similar situation will help Luke realize he’s being a gently caress rear end hypocrite and he’ll grow as a character and these shows will retcon the sequel trilogy.

They are 100% setting this up. You can tell these creators liked elements of the sequel trilogy but understood none of it was fleshed out enough. Loved it. Just watched it, was not spoiled. I was hooting and hollering the whole time. The choice wasn't a bad one either, it's very zen. Also, can we just talk about how loving good the music is? Like it's so good.

The fact this hasn't been 100% Boba Fett action doesn't surprise me because when the series was annouced they straight up said "think of it more like Mando season 2.5" so this is pretty much what I expected. Well, i didn't expect We'd actually see Luke and Grogu and Ahsoka![spoiler] but more Mando was not surprising. Also we can infer a bunch of stuff from this Ahsoka almost certainly told Luke about what Anakin and Padme were like before Anakin's fall and Padme's death. Also stuff about Yoda and Obi-Wan, Mace Windu and others. But also no Jedi like Rex and Phoenix Squadron, though Luke probably met Hera at some point during the Rebellion. Anyways, TLDR Ahsoka is the bridge between the clone wars era and the rest. It also heavily suggests after Yoda died, Luke did some light burgling of Yodas stuff and found his lightsaber. "Little green fuckers dead, well, lets see if he had any old playdroids or money stashed away"

Just caught up on Mando and Boba in the past week, so good! Just good Star Wars yarns, fun times. Vibing like folks were saying a few pages ago, I dig that. I like how this Boba show especially feels laid-back, and like it can go anywhere. It doesn't need to go any particular way, and I'm happy to see it go wherever. It's got that zen ronin cowboy vibe to it, just a pleasure to watch. And it feels so different from everything else around. I really like Temuera as Boba, it's nice to see a less usual choice like that, and for a journeymen guy like that to get a show. Also, going with the laid-back thing, I just enjoy how I don't have particular expectations for this show. I enjoy the bonus Mando content we've gotten, and I like how we can dip around between Boba and the cast we're already more connected with. Much like the Outback Steakhouse, no rules... just right. I probably should've thought of a New Zealand thing. Also, Max Reebo and explosions, just too funny. I understand he wasn't there that night luckily, but it's just too funny how his places of business keep exploding. Gonz posted:We should all be so lucky for that mummy gently caress to get his own miniseries. Dengar = ratings! I also had no idea this badass gunslinger guy Cad is an established character, that's cool. what a great Western scene, just timeless. I also hadn't caught that the Wookie with the hard to spell name is from the comics, that's fun too. One question, touched on a bit in the thread, what's Ahsoka's deal overall? Rosario is always great, just saw Josie and the Pussycats recently good stuff. Her character is very very zen and aloof here, even more than Jedi usual I'd say. Look forward to that show, and maybe I'll give those toons a go sometime. Anyhoo, this has been some fun Star Wars viewing. They're pulling it off! nine-gear crow posted:Right level of dipshit swagger for Dash but too young and pudgy. I've still got Shadows of the Empire on my to-read pile, gotta bone up on my Dash Rendar.
