I just finished “Another Life” on Netflix and you’re right. “Another Life” was more than a little dumb, but Sackhoff was very good in it. She honestly is a talented actor and could carry Bo-Katan spin-off if Disney so chose.

The R&D department was just like “what if estrogen is scarier than testosterone?”. Oh, wait, oh poo poo, this just occurred to me: is Omega the same age as Boba at this time? What if the Kaminoans made a female twin of Boba when Jango ordered him? Trying to oversell him or some poo poo?

So, it is implied that Omega is not a Jango Fett clone during the Kaminoians’ private conversation. So, who is the blonde donor lady for Omega’s production run? Duchess Satine? Bo-Katan? Oh, wait, it’s obvious… …it’s Mephisto, of course.

Omega’s optimized clone “super-power” is having high emotional intelligence. Considering the Kaminoians ostensibly engineered her for military applications…that’s got some sinister applications.

Very satisfying episode. I love this series. When they showed up in the final season of TCW, I was very underwhelmed by the characters, but I am now completely invested in the Bad Batch. Also, random thought Do you think there is any significance to the cooked side of Crosshair’s head also being the side the biochip is on?

Hey I was kinda right about The scars Crosshair’s head and his inhibitor chip. Somebody owes me a Coke. We still don’t know what the big deal was with that secret cloning lab. Omega almost seemed ashamed to be there. “This is where you were actually created” is big-dark-secret-y enough. Also…did I hear Omega wrong? She said she was present when they were decanted? Omega is older than the Dad Batch?

Cheesus posted:Well Boba was also Jango's "child" so it's not like they could have counted on using Boba for future clones. This entire season we’ve seen Omega, a preteen, operate a pretty high level of competence. She everything you would want from a 1:1 Jango Fett clone: intelligent, excellent hand-eye coordination, ability to adapt and strategize in stressful situations, and a fight or flight instinct that favors fight. She also has two valuable traits that baseline Jango doesn’t: high emotional intelligence and a natural ability to lead. Jango was a ‘lone wolf’ sociopath and his male clones had to altered to make them good team mates. She may not have Jango’s innate aggression, but a platoon of 18 year old Omegas with combat training would be a helluva force multiplier on the battlefield.

I’m glad I’m not the only point at the screen during the finale and said, “that’s Mount Tantis”. Filoni has be slowly bring back elements of old school EU since Rebels. In one of the first episodes, the phrase “Base Delta Zero” was mentioned in a news broadcast and I blurted “one of the writers has the WEG RPG sourcebooks!” Was bringing the Witches of Dathomir back also a Filoni thing? Surely Filoni would have brought back symbolic phallus wrestling, too.

jassa posted:They've been incorporating elements of the EU into the main canon since Clone Wars. Back then it was mostly Filoni & others running it by George and getting the nod from him. All of those got rolled into the Disney canon, and from what I understand Filoni and the other writers have continued that trend ever since. I think now instead of George there's a committee or group of people who have final say about what can/can't be made Disney canon. For those of you who aren't TurboNerds: the WEG Star Wars RPG from the 80s is pretty much the genesis of the EU. West End Games got the license, but had absolutely no 'lore bible' from except from what was on screen and the few books that had been written at that point. George didn't name all the alien species we see in the background. He didn't give a gently caress. So, WEG had to make up species names like Twi'lek and Trandoshan and then give them cultural attributes so that they could be used as player characters. Hell, crap like 'pedwalk' and 'duracrete' comes from WEG. When Timonthy Zahn was contracted to write his trilogy he asked for a lore bible (so he could get down to plot and not have to do all the heavy lifting of world building) and the Lucas Arts team just shrugged him and gave him a stack of WEG sourcebooks. After the Trilogy was a big hit, WEG made source books for that with input from Zahn...and thus the golden age of EU circlejerking was born.

Anita Dickinme posted:I thought I was a turbo nerd but I am cursed by my age. I missed out on this being born in the 90’s. Most of the books can be found online in one form or another. WEG even did a release of the 1st Edition, recently. They are really interesting view into that weird and wacky time between the OT and PT when fans were hungry for content and pretty much anything could be ‘canon’ as long as Lucas Arts didn’t say no. It was a very special time in Star Wars fandom.

In the "Jango Fett: Open Season" comic miniseries, we see Jango Fett's sister and mother, who are blondes. Technically no longer canon, but this is Filoni we're talking about. Also, they're space people, who the gently caress knows what recessive genes they have. Also, you'd be pale, too, if you lived your life in an enclosed training facility and wore a helmet all the time.  While I am loathe to bring real world justification to Star Wars, the natives of the Solomon Islands have naturally occurring blonde hair that is linked to a totally different gene than that if Caucasians. Human genetic diversity is super cool.

Jet Jaguar posted:Were the Han Solo novels based on the West End Games books or did they predate those? I love the poo poo out of those books, Han and Chewie up against the Corporate Sector Authority, never quite getting that big score. From some minor Googling, it looks like the Han Solo novels came out from 1979 to '80. The omnibus of the novels came out in '92, which prompted WEG to publish "Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook" in '93.

Cross-Section posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F-6h50Y3q8 I get what you’re saying, but Star Wars should be about making you feel good, about the good guy winning even in the face of overwhelming odds. That’s its lane. I voraciously consume cynical, existentially troubling content as much as the next aging millennial and absolutely poo poo on forced earnestness and schmaltz, but Star Wars should be about making you feel good about being good and believe in doing the right thing. Which is why it is so aggravating when done poorly.

Sash! posted:One little tweak would have changed everything. Instead of having Luke fall over like he's exhausted, it should have been portrayed that he had reached such a level of power that he shed his physical form. The whole "luminous beings" thing that Yoda speaks of. I still want a scene of older Luke strolling down a corridor, casually and bloodlessly using Mind Trick to put stormtroopers to sleep. That would be a lovely mirror image to Vader’s corridor rampage at the End of Rogue One.

I'd love to see the grown actor that played little Boba in ep2 to show up as Boba's 'grandson', ie, the descendent of a clone trooper. There's got to be clone progeny all over the galaxy. Huh...a group of mercs or bounty hunters comprised completely of clone descendants would be rad plot point and an excuse for Disney to hire a bunch of Pacific Islander actors.
