General Dog posted:The only way this show makes sense is if Boba Fett actually died in the Sarlaac and the man we’ve been seeing the whole time is actually Captain Rex. Rex would have demolished Pykes and Hutts by episode 3 besides we all know that Rex is that bearded dude in Bunker assault on Endor

Neddy Seagoon posted:Given what we've seen those bombs do, just one would probably level all of Mos Espa. If not outright destroy every building, at least destroy most of it and damage the rest structurally. The whole town's in a pit, and the blast would likely just reverb back in on itself. That sounds badass.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Maybe if they fly they risk some random X-wing cop getting curious. Given we've seen Mando get tagged by a flyby of some random passenger ship, that actually seem plausible. There's also nothing stopping Tuskens shooting at your ship and private ships are conspicuous when they're making regular runs between places if they're the only thing in the sky. The repulsorlift train does largely the same job, probably carries far more cargo for its size, and is relatively-less conspicuous if there's regular trains running between the Mos settlements. We've also seen that nearly literally every ship is registered thanks to the Empire unless it's very old, so you gotta ask why a Pyke-owned ship is making trips on a planet in the relatively-middle-of-nowhere.

I know it’s not out of character or whatever, but it does feel like sloppy//slapdash writing to conclude this entire drama with “and then Fennec killed everyone and there was peace.” Also Cyborg space sheriff Timothy Olyphant will be paired up with fan favorite Bull Burr and that will be the Commando show and I’ll watch every goddamn episode.

Boris Galerkin posted:What is the real world analog for “spice?” I need to know how I should feel about it. Boba sounds like a boomer banning fun drugs. It’s been established the Pyle Syndicate controls the famous Spice Mines* of Kessel. In the old EU while there were many kinds of spice (it’s just a slang word for narcotics, especially powderized ones) Kessel was the only source of Glitterstim spice, which was basically the most dangerous one, extremely addictive and with nasty side effects. * Kessel apparently hyperdrive fuel as of the new canon thanks to Solo’s weirdo plot. Maybe this was an attempt to give Kessel a “legitimate” export with mining the horrible death spider stuff for glitterstim as a very profitable side piece. Oh yeah Glitterstim is produced by horrible alien death spiders burrowing through the planetoid. They eat lots of miners each year, but who cares they’re almost all droids and slaves!

My reaction to them announcing BoBF was to mercilessly trash the idea of such an overhyped underdeveloped action figure commercial of a character driving a show. As much as the opinions of this thread seems to vindicate that initial reaction, I enjoyed watching it! Fett may not have had a coherent arc of character growth, but it at least made me interested in watching him and his pals have space desert adventures. Of course, my reaction to people complaining about new star wars material sucking is typically "they're just being true to the source material" of an IP whose most compelling work historically was a children's cartoon. Between nostalgia and the expanded universe, I'd say the heavy lifting of making star wars good was done by everybody but the original creators. Maybe that lack of investment is what allowed me to enjoy the new shows and movies (except for eps 7-9 which I didn't hate but have no memory of, nor desire to watch again). John Wick of Dogs posted:That's how Rise of Skywalker should have ended, Palps and his guard gets sniped from offscreen, camera pans over to Ming Na Wen, "Everybody gets one" I got the giggles when she strung up that weird mayor creature. I could watch agent may assassinate aliens and poo poo all day, how about a Deadpool esque run of her just showing up killing every space bad guy in various novel ways (including Annie and jarjar obv... and original bobba fett).

CelticPredator posted:This show would’ve been way better if it was told chronologically. The characterization is there but by swapping it around it jumbled it. All of the present day stuff (I guess that's the best way to describe it) is kind of boring right up until the final battle. Not sure how that would work

Neddy Seagoon posted:Nah, he's 50 years old remember. That's a lot of trauma and education to forget considering a good chunk of it was during the Empire's reign. Incidentally, I wonder what they’re going to do about that. He seems like the equivalent of a 2-3 year old at most. How much can one learn with that level of brain development, even if you have decades to do it? Also, based on a generous timescale of human longevity of 100… that would make Yoda the equivalent age of something like 55. Is Grogu repressed? Does the species just take forever to get to adulthood and then dies shortly thereafter? Do they have some kind of massive growth spurt? I am hoping for growth spurt because, while I’ve enjoyed the stories so far, I don’t know if I want to watch a perpetual toddler for the whole of this series.

Both narratively and merch wise it's gonna be tricky to develop the character to the point where he's a Basic-speaking adolescent and still have the same Baby Yoda Magic.

I mean I can believe Bob casually shooting Bib, sitting down on his throne and declaring "this is mine now" because it's a illegal crime empire. Doing the same thing for the head of local government? This... Does not seem like a good idea.

I dunno man it seems the mayor was found dead in a local gang house belonging to the offworld pyke syndicate. Appears he was involved or caught up in some local intragang warfare. The Deputy Mayor has assurances from the local Daimyo Boba Fett that the perpetrators will be caught and justice served to the strictest standard. He has his best woman on the case.

Boy, I had completely forgotten about Yaddle. Whether they ever reveal it or not, it makes sense that Grogu would be her son. Perhaps Yoda wasn't as celibate as we were led to believe... Though the choice to have Grogu be 50 years old is such an odd one to me. It seems like they just wanted a tie in to the prequels, and weren't too worried about the absurdity of it. It would have made more sense if he was a clone or just a random baby with unusually high affinity of the force. For now you have to believe that either Yoda's race takes a stupidly long time to mature, or Grogu has had a ridiculously stunted growth.

I would guess that if Grogu’s parentage is ever addressed, we’ll find out that he was produced asexually or through science/magic somehow. Because nobody really hosed in Star Wars to begin with, and they definitely don’t in the Disney era. Yoda used his own midichlorians to grow him on a tree or something like that.
