Solo is an alright movie but it would've been better as a d+ show. The plot always felt like 3 seasons of a TV show shoved into two hours for me. I would say the opposite for book of Boba Fett. There was not enough plot for 5 episodes here. (Removing the two mandolirian episodes as those should've been the start to Mando season 3.)

chitoryu12 posted:Yeah, the intent with Mando, Fett, Ahsoka, and originally Rangers of the New Republic was to have them all as part of an intertwined story that would eventually end in a big crossover finale event. Possibly something to do with the First Order, given the hint that Gideon was using Grogu’s blood to make the clone bodies for Snoke/Palpatine.

I've been thinking about what scraps of motivation they gave Boba: the desire to form a tribe after living with the Tuskens and their warrior culture, his being sick of those in his old profession getting killed working for selfish criminal scumbags, his respect and mercy for other mercs and bounty hunters, wanting to protect those under him, and lack of interest in doing any of the crime in organized crime. Along with that we got Twi'lek Lady's speech about how Krrsantan's an infamous gladiator with no place in modern "civilized" New Republic society. I figure that Boba doesn't really want to be a Daimyo. He wants to build the Star Wars version of Outer Heaven and doesn't realize it. Unfortunately the writers don't seem to realize it either.

Had a discussion recently with a neurologist friend of mine, and she's convinced that Boba suffered severe brain damage when the lizard was inserted up his nose. It MIGHT go a long way to explain why Boba doesn't remember that the Jawas took his armor; or why he thinks he can overthrow a syndicate with ten people; or why he's shooting Bib Fortuna who (as far as we've seen) never did anything to him; or why he sends a Wookiee to patrol Trandonshan territory; or why he's announcing his name to the ratcatcher droid while he's supposed to infiltrate the palace in secret; or why he doesn't remember he has a jetpack when being attacked in the street by a group of assassins; or why he forgets to bring his gunship to the final battle. EDIT: Oh poo poo. Medical droid: "Congratulations, Master Fett. You are completely healed." Fennec: "What about the scars on the inside?" Boba: "Those take longer." He's not talking about psychological problems, but about the internal neurological damage. It all makes sense now.

Vintersorg posted:Clone Wars and Rebels would like to have a word with you. Add Bad Batch to that now too. I watched a ton of episode of TCW and I really didn’t like it at all. I don’t really get the love honestly. There was a few good moments but it just doesn’t work for me as Star Wars. I guess I’m glad I saw enough to know who such and such is but I don’t really care much other than seeing cool practical effects aliens or whatever. I’d rather watch the worst episodes of this show over and over than another clone wars.

It starts off a little "kiddy" but it improves. Plus, it gave us this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV7EMwo3ROk Cast your mind back to Revenge of the Sith where Anakin Skywalker is a preppy emo stalker and your final sight of Darth Vader is him wailing like a bitch. The above scene and others in Rebels (Vader plays a big part in Season Two of the show) gave Vader back to us as the scary badass he was supposed to be.

the shiny mod bike fixation thing is so weird to me. even assuming you aren't aware of the direct inspiration/reference being made, has nobody on YouTube ever heard of Cuba, or Saudi Arabia, or gently caress driven by a closed down Winn Dixie parking lot in Alabama at 9 pm on a Saturday night shiny candy colored teen car/bike culture is a thing everywhere in the world, wealth and weather is no obstacle. it's also completely in line with Lucas' design sensibilities in which close to half of all the ships, especially in the prequels, are modeled after the hot-rodding culture of his teens. anakin literally chases an assassin in a bright banana yellow drop top speeder and jokes to obi-wan that he only took so long because he wanted to find a convertible or whatever. having a group that's literally just British mods complete with ridiculous multi-mirrored hover scooters and ostentatious literal cyborg mods instead of goofy clothes is an extremely Star Wars thing to do I guess it probably would have helped to have a quick scene/shot of them meticulously detailing their scooters in between action. but it also feels like the kind of thing you could really take or leave in editing and could just as easily assume the viewer doesn't need to be told. for all the complaining people have about "Show, don't tell," a lot of viewers very clearly want to be told however, I do agree that I would've liked more scenes with them in general, so stuff showing them doing actual punk poo poo would've been kickass. but people already are pissed off that the guy did a spin move, so I can't imagine how annoyed people would be if there'd have been twice, even three times as many spin moves i dunno, just feels like there's enough completely fair significant criticisms to make of choices the show made that I don't get why people fixate on this one thing that's actually fun and cool

"It's a reference to real life!" is a pretty weak defence of something in a sci-fi. Shiny mopeds stick out like a sore thumb on grungy tatooine, simple as. I kinda liked the explanation that they're rich kids from coruscant or whatever, but that didn't end up working out. Would've been better if they just did some more design passes on the mods instead of stopping at "what if a specific niche historical british sub culture, but hover scooters"

Its such an asinine thing to fixate on their shinyness. There are plenty of problems with BOBF and the mods in particular (they were incredibly underused/underserved by the story) - but their general aesthetic & design is not one of the problems. Its definitely a "not my star wars!" thing that is actually incorrect because they are absolutely pure strain star wars.

Yeah I think most people understand the reference but that doesn't mean it's done well or fits the setting. I like the theory but the execution is just bad, not helped by their lovely acting and their costuming being way too similar to irl fashion. The main one is just wearing a straught up leather jacket.
