The Star Wars Holiday Special was on TV and should be included.  You've made Lumpy sad.

Jango wasn't Mandalorian. Boba was his clone, so neither was he. Is this guy actually Mandalorian? My guess is it's the guy with Boba's armor from the short interludes in the Aftermath trilogy. (Which would mean no, he isn't a Mandalorian.)

Madurai posted:Wait, when did Jango get defrocked from being Mandalorian? I'm not sure the source beyond an old starwars.com article, but from Wookieepedia: Jango Fett was born in the years prior to the Invasion of Naboo. He claimed to have been born on the planet Concord Dawn, a Mandalorian world, but the exact authenticity of this claim was unknown. He wore Mandalorian armor after becoming a bounty hunter and assassin for hire, a fact that led officials of Mandalore to disavow any connection to Fett, claiming he was simply a bounty hunter who somehow stole an artifact from their planet's troubled past. E: Of course this is a page that exists: https://www.bobafettfanclub.com/news/fett-fact-check/is-boba-fett-a-mandalorian-or-does-he-just-wear-mandalorian-armor/

jivjov posted:I wouldn't go all the way down to "poor", but yeah, I get the impression that he's used to emoting with his face and body more, so trying to do it all in voice was stifling him a little. Yeah, "poor" might have been a bit much. Gwendolyn Christie was good though! E: Probably for the same reasonas Anthony Daniels, actually, since they both would've done a whole lot of ADR.

The 3rd (or 4th I guess?) episode started getting me to warm up to the show. It wasn't a great start, I'd agree. My 6 year old loves it, my 9 year old is similarly on the fence. But it's Star Wars.

Wheat Loaf posted:The movies have always been most important, though. My dad finally got seeing Solo recently on dvd and he said he was enjoying it until Darth Maul showed up because it completely took him out of the movie; said he had no idea where that came from. I told him he came back in the cartoons and he said it would've been nice if that had been explained in the movie, because as far as he's concerned Darth Maul has been dead since he was chopped in half and fell down a bottomless pit in 1999. Unreasonable? I don't know. But I don't think it matters if you knew he was still alive or not. You know now, and now the question is "how?" and there are ways to find out. I suspect there'll be more of that explored later anyway. I mean it's almost a trope that a long-dead badguy suddenly resurfaces.

Anywhere, here's why I say I don't think he was either: https://www.starwars.com/databank/griff-halloran posted:One of the Aces that flies defense for the Colossus platform, Griff Halloran flies an extensively modified TIE-based racer that emphasizes raw power. No one is quite certain whether or not Griff is a veteran of the Imperial Navy, or whether he just flies old Imperial colors to intimidate his opponents.

Why did the Clone Troopers all have Jango's accent? Accents aren't genetic, and Jango wasn't the one training them. Shouldn't they have Kimonoan accents?

Rocksicles posted:The ex imperial dude in the Aftermath books is gay and in a relationship, he's also a savage drunk and a top notch badass. Wexley's aunts are gay also, but that's in the books. Plenty of representation there (the main character in Alphabet Squadron is bi), but that's hardly out front enough to make a major impact. It's probably even less so than this representation in Resistance.

thrawn527 posted:Sinjir is legit my favorite EU character of the new canon, and I hope we haven't seen the last of him now that Wendig is out as a Star Wars writer. Bring him into Resistance, a new show, let some other author play around with him, whatever. There's plenty of potential for greatness with him, he's so much fun while also having levels of true darkness in him. They should bring Wendig back, his firing was bullshit.

That one actually bothers me. I don't care if Tarkin's gay (I always assumed he was ace, actually), but he's very proper when it comes to military protocol. Abusing his power in that manner didn't really fit him as a character, imo.

Cross-Section posted:I remember that being left somewhat ambiguous in the text itself, but it's been a while. The author confirmed that was the intention, and in the audiobook, it's definitely Tarkin. Neither of those mean anything canonically though, I don't think, so Disney gets to play it safe.

Lester Shy posted:I remember all of the message boards and fan magazines prior to Episode 1 hyping up Aurra Sing as the next big thing, "Babe Fett" etc. And then she's in the movie in a cutaway shot for like half a second and never shows up again in that trilogy. So exactly like Boba Fett.

Joke Miriam posted:Boba Fett stood around looking menacing, got handed a pre-cauptured Han Solo, and then tried to shoot vaguely above Luke's head as a blind man knocked him into a Shai'hulud. He looked cool and then did nothing and died. He's the Battleship Yamato of Star Wars characters. All of this. Other than looking cool, I never understood his popularity.

It's a fairly common western trope. The protagonist roaming from town to town, helping people in need each week. Hell, even more modern shows like Quantum Leap.

I'm assuming Ahsoka will be in a flashback in the Mandalorian, not the present timeline. That was Deathwatch that rescued Din Djarin, after all.

This kind of goes with my thoughts that there's going to be a significant flashback portion next season. Ahsoka, Deathwatch, and now Fett? At least I hope so. Fett should be dead by this point in time.
