Darko posted:They both want the same thing. Palpatine is all into cloning. And there maaayyy be some sequel book stuff going on in Mando. I got this impression, that when we see a bunch of suspended Jedi corpses in Obi-Wan, their want for Omega in Bad Batch and the Kaminoan's knowledge, and the Mando stuff, it's all different branches Palpatine has going trying to find a way to get cloning w/ a lot of force power to work so when his body is going to kick it he'll have a fresh body to go into. And I guess technically it worked since a clone up him banged someone and they had Rey. He just completely botched the final part in the dumbest way possible. Isometric Bacon posted:Yeah, this episode has a serious case of Star Wars instant teleporting from the Outer Rim from to Coruscant and back in the middle of a war. It did make me wonder like how constant is hyperdrive travel times? Not that Star Wars is ever consistent with this stuff in the movies and shows but generally like if a ship has something on par with the Falcon's computer once they put L337 (sp?) into it, can you always zip to and from a place much faster than usual? Like instead of plotting a course in hyperspace does a New Republic astromech droid have some confidential super-efficient hyperpsace route to Coruscant and wherever its pilot is stationed already ready to go for if there's an emergency?

omega is a macguffim for the kaminoan scientist to do cloning for the empire both because she represents a pure perfect copy or something of jangos dna without any decay or accelerated growth and because the scientist lady likes her

That's actually plausible, good catch. The best hyperspace routes would absolutely be a military secret.

Lama Su cared about that, and what he cared about ceased being relevant at the same time Tipoca City did. Hemlock appears to be doing his own thing, and only wants Omega as a means to get Nala Se to cooperate, since Nala Se has a deep emotional investiture in Omega's safety.

Arc Light posted:It also results in your faction having no remaining allies and eventually getting wiped out, while the other groups that could actually work together go on to defeat the Empire. Which is famously why the SRs, Trudoviks and Mensheviks stopped the Bolsheviks from seizing power for the Soviets and went on to win WWI and the civil war. 'Left Unity' is extremely over-rated.

Hyperdrive's generally pretty fast, but (at least in Legacy) it's treated like navigating long-distance on a road trip; The big freeways are long straight Hyperlane routes free of anything inbetween to get you between the big hubs of the galaxy in one long cruising Jump, but if you want to get anywhere a bit more fiddly (like some remote system) you have to navigate around local obstacles (ie; There's a star system or two, or a rogue planet, or something in the way.) with several smaller Jumps. Hang a left at the next star system, then a jump to the one on the right, then you can pivot back around right again to actually get to your destination. Basically treating as space being largely big and empty, but the distances are so vast the odds of you hitting something midway are significant enough to take seriously. Speed is also dictated by the ship's hyperdrive too. Star Destroyers are relatively slow and lumbering things, but the Millennium Falcon's been tinkered with so much it's waaay faster than a stock Hyperdrive and would get from A to B far sooner than a Star Destroyer would over the same distance in Hyperspace.

Isn't Navarro just off of the Hydian Way? I think they said that back in the episode where Grogu went to school and ate blue Macarons while Mando infiltrated a Dark Forces base.

Does anyone know if they recycled some of Ben Mendelsohn's lines from Rogue One for his cameo episode? I find it hilarious that they would bring Krennic's original actor back for literally three words.

I'm ready to dive in and finally marathon Clone Wars. Is there a recommended viewing order as I've seen talk how the D+ order is messed up. Getting conflicting advice from the internet. Assuming I'm willing to watch it all, what's the consensus for best experience?

Which is why I'm confused. If I can just have the app play that poo poo in the order they have it I'll happily take that. It just felt weird that on the 2nd episode there's a baby Asoka and I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have been introduced to her already because it felt very much like an episode with previously introduced characters.

The movie (which is 4 episodes in a trenchcoat) is listed separately and should be watched first. Release order is fine. It's weird for the end of S1 and maybe one or two other times but it really doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things.

The way dorks talk about how you need to watch Clone Wars in a specific fan curated way remind of the dorks that insist you can't play a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game unless you cake on multiple fan mods. The best way to get an artistic entity's vision on a given intellectual property will always be to consume it the way it was originally published by the artistic entity, or republished by the artistic entity in some rare cases where that's a thing. In the case of Clone Wars, there's highs and lows and heres and theres, but it's worthwhile to take it as a holistic vision of the clone wars. The droid episodes are great.

Yeah if you're going to watch it just watch it. There are some dud episodes but these lists that skip half the series miss out on a whole bunch of character development and interactions. Depends what droid episodes you mean. D Squad has its moments but goes on too long. C3PO and R2's wild adventure is bad.

The time I really think chronological order is even worth caring about is the end of S1/S2 because it's weird that Cad Bane gets introduced twice in a row pulling off unrelated schemes.stev posted:Depends what droid episodes you mean. D Squad has its moments but goes on too long. C3PO and R2's wild adventure is bad. The R2 episodes in the first season are not great. They were some of the earliest ones made and didn't get the polishing that the ones converted into the movie received so the animation is really rough.

Internet says Mando season 3 takes place in 11 years ABY, which is 7 years after Return of the Jedi. Bad Batch takes place 19 years BBY. Omega is supposed to be 13-15 in Bad Batch. That’d make Omega in her early to mid 40’s by the time of Mando season 3.

Emerie Karr already looks close to what Castle-Hughes looks like now anyway, so might as well bring another voice actor into the role as the live action version.

I mean mandalorian s3 is being strategically ambiguous about exactly where it is in the timeline, especially if you take into account favreau's press tour remarks. I guess it's a trade of that sort of confusion for "storytelling flexibility"

Also, exactly how long of a period it's stretched over. The masks help a lot and the one of the biggest indicators happens to be a being that ages incredibly slow and is basically still considered a baby at the age of 50+. I wouldn't be very surprised to find that in the next few episodes, the Mandos basically have a biggish town already built. Or one of those dome things halfway done.

It's one of those things that doesn't make a ton of sense if you think about it for too long, but I personally accept because if you can get Katee Sackhoff, you get Katee Sackhoff, logic be damned. I'm just going with "Bo Katan ages well".
