I really really want the thing on his back to be the electric prod thing Boba has in the Holiday Special.

Maybe it is; look down at the Mandolorian's knee, and you can just make out what looks like a prong

Clone Wars goes to dark places at times. Like when Clone Troopers were setting Geonosins on fire:

Or when Ahsoka decapitated several Mandalorians at once:

I think it was the first story arc that had battle droids making jokes as they cut through escape pods, ejecting the unprotected survivors into space.

That was his popularity. He looks cool, he doesn't say much, and especially in that time between Empire, where he's the one to outsmart Han and be the only bad guy to accomplish his mission, and Jedi where he dies like a chump, there was a time when everyone's imagination about what Boba Fett could do went wild.

The "No disintegrations" line helped him too, since it implied a long history working for Vader.

I still laugh at trying to collect a bounty after he's disintegrated someone.

I've been rewatching Legends of Tomorrow recently, and I can't help but wonder if Dee Bradley Baker took inspiration for Wrecker and Crosshair from Dominic Purcell's Heatwave and especially Wentworth Miller's Captain Cold, respectively.

I'm hearing Crosshairs as Avon from Blake's 7, personally.

Returning the franchise to bedrock would help introduce it to a new generation. Mr. Abrams�s similarly old-school movie would follow. �Continuity� became a watchword. (Mr. Filoni said that Mr. Lucas, unconcerned in recent years that his stories had become confusing, once told him, �Continuity is for wimps.�)

I like even Wrecker has enough sense to put on a farmers hat when they are supposed to be keeping a low profile, and Hunter won�t remove his bandana with the skull insignia. Would have been fun if it led to a Russell Crowe in Les Mis outcome where he�s arrested immediately.

Removing the bandana does nothing to cover up the massive skull tattoo on his face

quote:

The Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Galactic Empire believed, when compensating for the bias of artists on their art about the Grysk, that the stories of vast hordes of the Grysk were not accurate. Rather, he believed it was more likely that the Grysk used unfamiliar tactics and weapons to defeat their opponents. Thrawn also did not believe the myth that the Grysk were nomadic, as most species that begin on planetary worlds do not easily surrender them and because their starships, as depicted in art pieces, strongly demonstrated a preference for sun, sky, and soil, rather than the vast darkness of space.

God, I hate Thrown.

Don't forget, it's also hinted at the reason why Thrawn was given out of the way commands was because secretly, the Emperor was actually afraid of him. :rolleyes:

Yea, tweeking nazis is something that a lot of people leave out of history. Serious theories suggest that Hitler being so dynamic and confident early on and then was a shattered mess by the end of the war is contributed to his copious amounts of meth he took. Early Blitzkriegs were powered by stuka pills, which were just tabs of amphetamines.

True! Alderaan is space Canada, sorta british, sorta american.

Years ago there was an art of The Clone Wars series book, and it was full of commentary from Filoni and the other artists. There was only one single comment in the whole book (that I recall) from George Lucas:

"If I didn't stop Dave, he'd have Plo Koon in every episode."

Working as a bounty hunter for Jabba resulted in Boba Fett being eaten. I'm sure that probably changed his outlook on life. Why go back to being a bounty hunter, working for someone, and risk the chance of being eaten again? Better to become the guy who lets other people get eaten.

I keep seeing this, but honestly what other way could you possibly have him escape? It�s either punching his way out or using the jet pack. That�s the easiest and most obvious way without devoting screentime to some other stupid convoluted explanation.

Everyone knows he escaped, here it is for 10 seconds, alright now we can move on with the episode. I�m fine with it

Went further down and escaped through the sarlacc's anus.

also after this ep I'm convinced the badass Tusken turns about to be super hot and they fall in love and then she gets murdered, classic western tale like

I'm gonna guess Boba doesn't give one good goddam about running the crime syndicate. At some point his "tribe" is going to be completely wiped out, and his taking over Jabba's territory is one big ruse to set everyone up so he can kill them all. Hell, he might pull "Fistful of Dollars"/"Yojimbo" and play them against each and then kill what's left over.

I loved how the 'cryogenic density combustion booster' the Jawas give them is basically that big metal pole Han tries to brace the walls with when they're stuck in the garbage compactor in the first film (although the Mando one is considerably shorter).

They took it from a Pyke ship. It's going to be funny if that comes back in finale. (The Pykes return to their ship to blow Boba and the gang away, but the ship explodes instead)

Yeah, it's way less techno-filtered, but it's otherwise the same voice he did.

I love that the physical actor made him move a bit slower than we are used to seeing in Clone Wars because he's significantly older now. Just a grumpy old cowboy you don't want to gently caress with. Love it.

Upon rewatch, i noticed the sad little face Grogu makes when Luke offers to clear up his memories Little buddy did not want to do that. Way to go, Master Jedi.

Grogu's going to remember that it was Anakin killing all his friends, and he's going to go after Luke for revenge :unsmigghh:

I like most of the LEGO games. They're a fun mindless distraction. The LEGO Indiana Jones was the first game I ever got 100% of the achievements for on the XBox (because they're also pretty easy). The only one I ever got bored of and stopped playing was Harry Potter.
