#

If the first order is anything like Palpy's empire of old, its gonna be out with the old, in with the new.

#

that's how they phased out the clones.

sly sage
#

However i wouldnt put the first order and the empire on the same level. The empire is like a government which on paper you can get behind some of their ideas whilst the first order are just ment to be straight up space nazis

#

Ironically lucas wanted the empire to be space nazis but after spin offs and books etc its clear they arent space nazis and instead just a very vile and despicable government whilst the first order are literally just space nazis

storm garden
#

They brain zapped Preshing cuz he was linked to Project Palpy, think they wont get rid of Gideon too? He came too close to going to trial.

sly sage
#

The zap was a memory wipe device, it wasnt ment to hurt the doctor, the new republic werent torturing him. it only seems to have because of the (probably) imperial spy

#

In fact in the episode before the dial is turned up its very evident that the feeling of the zap machine is actually very pleasant for the doctor. We see him relax and smile a little

storm garden
#

Till Kane amps it up.

#

Man's probably a vegetable now.

#

So apparently, Rey's father is a failed, Forceless clone of Palpy. That is...reassuring.

sinful sparrow
#

I got a quesiton.

#

Question.

#

Does the republic not have lie detector tests? When the lady goes in and does her interview with the robot, you're telling me there is no way they could hook some shit up to her and see if she's lying, especially with all the tec they have?

sly sage
#

dont think lie detectors exist in star wars beyond force users being able to read you

sinful sparrow
#

So we have all this shit.

sly sage
#

and if they do they can probably be scammed like in real life, its a reason why lie detector results cant be used in court

sinful sparrow
#

We got cybernetics to the point of being able to live with just a orgas.

#

organs

#

We got sentient driods..

sly sage
#

also it'd shorten down like 75% of all star wars if lie detectors existed

#

now that would be lazy writing

sly sage
#

you seem to be one to bitch about lazy writing (despite there being little) and then give the most lazy possible events

sinful sparrow
#

If you're trying to imply logical writting is lazy because it can't be drawn out, we have no reason to debate writting methods because we see shit differently.

sly sage
#

@storm garden im watching the first of the 2 finale bad batch episodes. do u recon Phee likes tech

#

she seems to be especially interested in him also giving him a nickname

sinful sparrow
#

"Character shouldn't do X because we then couldn't have an action scene" to me isn't the best writing.

#

Now if you explain why a character doesn't do an action, fair enough.

sly sage

we can do this convo in portuguese if u want to make fun of someone elses non mother tounge

sinful sparrow
#

And this is a public forum, I can talk if I want.

#

I don't speak portuguese.

sly sage
#

exactly.

sinful sparrow
#

?

#

Wdym exactly?

sly sage
#

im saying mocking someones 2nd language is pretty stupid when you dont even speak their first

sinful sparrow
#

Like I'm not trying to mock you're English I'm genuinely confused by what you are trying to say.

sly sage
#

i mean the "you're" comment thats all

#

anyway

#

@storm garden are we the only ones who care about the bad batch?

sinful sparrow
#
Wookieepedia

A lie detector was a device that could be used to verify the truth by scanning a sentient being for any biological indicators of possible lying. ISB Agent Alecia Beck had a prosthetic eye that featured a thermal mode, pulse rate and respiration's scanner that could be used as a makeshift lie detector.

#

It's says it's in cannon.

sly sage
sinful sparrow
sly sage
#

their lie detectors can be faked or disingenious like we have now

sinful sparrow
#

We should just take there word for it?

#

Like with all that tec, come on now.

sly sage
sinful sparrow
#

There is no sound and space, we should't hear shooting

#

Ships should be on fire.

sly sage
#

there being a lot of tech doesnt mean everything is possible, there is no teleportation device in star wars, hell their communication devices are pretty basic other than holograms, their computers are akin to that of the early 20th century

sinful sparrow
#

So what's you

sly sage
#

take season 2 of the mandalorian for example, when they're infultrating an imperial base to find grogus location. the cameras they have are shitty quality and in black and white

sinful sparrow
odd phoenix
#

reading this conversation is costing me braincells

sly sage
storm garden
sly sage
sinful sparrow
sly sage
#

i feel like im arguing with a child. their lie dectors are like ours and so they can be faked, which is why they likely arent used

#

its really not a hard concept to understand

#

ive said this like 3 times

sinful sparrow
sly sage
#

what else is there to try?

#

they interview and interrogate

sinful sparrow
#

Like you're acting like them simply asking "Are you betraying us" and taking there word for it isn't silly.

storm garden
sinful sparrow
#

Hell, the scientist was shaking in his boots, and they still believed him.

#

The lie detectors are better than nothing man.

sly sage
sinful sparrow
#

Way better.

sly sage
#

i am curious as to why she seems into tech tho

#

probably because of how smart he is

storm garden
sly sage
#

tho he does seem a little flustered around her

#

and she flirts with him a lot

storm garden
#

Dude is hooked to his datapad like Echo is to his scomp arm, almost.

sinful sparrow
sly sage
#

yeah but whenever talking to her he is far more awkward than when talking to anyone else

storm garden
#

se2ep15

sinful sparrow
#

Oh you're talking about Bad Batch?

#

I check outta that tbh.

storm garden
#

Its on par with Clone wars, i'd say.

sinful sparrow
#

WOAAH

#

Woaaah

#

On par?

sly sage
#

ive enjoyed it just as much as the clone wars

sinful sparrow
#

Nah I'm gonna have to disagree.

#

I don't think it's bad.

sly sage
#

definitely better than the first 3 or so seasons

sinful sparrow
#

And he it could b-

#

First 3?

#

Nahhhhhh

storm garden
#

Lemme guess, you think Omega's annoying.

sinful sparrow
#

Nope

sly sage
#

tbf omega is annoying

#

but i just hate children

#

LMAO

storm garden
#

...ok.

sly sage
#

ezra pisses me off too

sinful sparrow
#

I just think the story lacks a little direction in the first season.

storm garden
#

Its the empire slowly taking over as seen from the perspective of a covert group of special clone soldiers.

sinful sparrow
#

It seemed like every episode was some kind of "side quest"

sly sage
sinful sparrow
#

Yeah I understand, but in my opinion, I think it lacked direction. It was going all over the place.

#

But no I don't find Omega annoying at all.

#

I actually liked her character.

storm garden
sly sage
#

shes growing on me

sinful sparrow
#

And hey, maybe it's trying to be more episodic.

storm garden
#

At least she's not like "giggles Look at me, i'm a little girl!"

sinful sparrow
#

But I just don't remeber it clicking for me

storm garden
#

Heck, she's older than the clones, in terms of years.

sly sage
#

no in season 1 she was more like "giggles look at me im doing exactly what i was explicitly told not to do, ehehe, ive put everyone around me in danger" now tho she is far more mature and thinks before she acts

#

tho she does have her moments still

sinful sparrow
#

But at least she had some charm, and it didn't annoy me that much.

mossy pumice
sinful sparrow
#

That's another thing about Mando

#

Baby Yoda has nothing to do.

#

Like I'm sorry, there is no reason for him to be here.

sly sage
#

take so bad, ima just pretend i didnt read it

sly sage
#

not talked about enough

sinful sparrow
#

Wasn't the whole point of season 1-2 to get him to his people?

#

Everything everyone has ever done was to get him safely to a jedi.

sly sage
# sly sage not talked about enough

i feel it doesnt get the attention it deserves and that'll just cause them to not continue making more niche spin off animated shows like this

the entire point of the third season in terms of grogu is to show him slowly becoming a mandalorian foundling

Has had a max of maybe 20 minutes of screen time.

This season.

Not enough time to develop shit.

#

Watching what?

sly sage
#

hes currently ||hanging on by a wire||

#

sorry

sinful sparrow
#

Nvm

mossy pumice
sinful sparrow
#

Like Gorgu at this point is more of an object then a character.

sly sage
#

its okay, im watching it now and if anything knowing whats about to happen makes it even sadder to watch

sinful sparrow
#

He has some interesting lore behind him and he's cute but that's about it.

sly sage

||NO TECH NO, NO PLAN 99, STOP IT YOU FOOL||

damn

thats sad

Ooo, Project Stardust...

You know what it is.

No I don't.

OHHHHHHH

I get it

storm garden
#

Hint: If you dont know, Alderann's about to find out.

mossy pumice
# sly sage thats sad

Ikr! Such a well done gripping scene too! It's at times like this Bad Batch really outdoes itself when not doing filler eps.

Damn! ||Even ep3 & ep 12 where we got really compelling and full circle arc of Crosshair and his character progression.||

sinful sparrow
#

OH NO

#

TO SOON BRO TO SOON

mossy pumice
sly sage
#

||tech was literally one of the best characters cause hes the most like 90% of the fanbase||

sinful sparrow
#

Shouldn't there be a chat for bad batch?

sly sage
#

real sadge moment

storm garden
sinful sparrow
#

Why do some shows get chats, but others don't?

sly sage
mossy pumice
storm garden

replace that by "gonna find out the hard way"

also fuck Cid

sinful sparrow

Cid is the Sniper right?

No

storm garden
sinful sparrow

She's the bar alien

yeah

Who's the sniper again?

sly sage

crosshair

Right right

NO OMEGA

like

#

this is what i mean

sinful sparrow
#

You know, this kinda reminds me of GI JOE

sly sage
#

she has her moments

storm garden
#

Damn, Saw guererra just showed up.

sinful sparrow
#

GI Joe mixed with Rambo

#

YK WHAT

#

FUCK IT I'MA WATCH ME SOME BAD BATCH

#

Is this season any good?

mossy pumice
# sly sage also fuck Cid

I always thought they should distance themselves from Cid ||cause as much as they seem they care, they'll always takes care of their self interest & don't give a fck😑(actually true of most people these days too). Omega being herself, which i don't blame, she's a young naive kid who's sees the world in rose tinted colours still and believes in better, because of her they seemed to have cut her slack time and again. If it weren't for her, Hunter always would be vary of those. He thought of Omega first and foremost as a father, so saw it coming. Idk why they had to go to Cid again, like seriously 😩||.

sinful sparrow
#

BEFORE I START

#

Is this season any good?

mossy pumice
sly sage
#

that does confuse me

#

cid didnt know where they were and they were safe there

mossy pumice
# sly sage yeah why didnt they just go back to the planet with phee?

Since they'll be on their tail at any cost having been suspects of almost ||bombing special high ranking officers of Empire, they can track their assess down even down to Phee planet, and i think they didn't wanna risk that. At least that's my thinking. They're very considerate and that's their only safe haven cause Hunter did want to retire themselves as soldiers for good and lay down their mettle and settle there||

#

That's my thinking atm but that explanation too does raise up so many questions and loopholes.

sly sage
#

also damn, that reveal at the end

#

also i just understand what he ment by ||plan 99, plan 99 must be a heroic sacrifice to continue the mission like clone 99 in the clone wars show||

sly sage
mossy pumice
# sly sage also damn, that reveal at the end

Ikr! Didn't expect that, it's too out of the blue and weird for me, hope they can make it a better cohesive idea of how exactly is it the case.

And damn Kevin Kiner score at end credits, ||that brass requiem, sounds like a funeral theme for Tech in a way🥲🙌🏻 it's at certain moments like this Kiner does shine up with composition apart from his filler writing.||

sly sage
#

its really incredibly how stupid i am but when it comes to star wars i know just about as much as you can when it comes to canon lore

#

except for the sequels

#

i try to know as little about that shit show as possible

mossy pumice
#

I hope they retcon it somehow, and take up some of the good storyline from SW legends comics.

sly sage
#

i doubt they will but if they do it'd make me very happy

mossy pumice
#

Yep, I've only just started reading very recently, like Thrawn Trilogy & New Jedi Order either one of them can make for very good sequel trilogy material.

sly sage
#

the ending of season 2 of the mandalorian almost made me cry from how happy i was seeing luke be luke after the last jedi butcherd the character

#

im still reading the canon thrawn trilogy i have all 3 books but i need to finish it

#

i also should get started on the high republic stuff but the content ive read so far has been so bad

mossy pumice
#

Ohh good, you just saved me from typing up a discreet spoiler😂

sly sage

i mean if your in the mandalorian spoiler chat and havent seen the season 2 finale then thats on you tbh

mossy pumice
sly sage

have u seen the i need a hero edit of the luke hallway scene @mossy pumice ?

definitely the best of the season, but this whole season has been very mid so far IMO

Episode 4 was best of the season so far

Can’t wait to see Sabine this season

I doubt we will see Sabine this season

low turret
#

I’m pretty sure we will

#

Two rebels references already + bo actively seeking Mandalorians + she was cast a while ago

granite rapids
#

Maybe but I think she will show up in Ahsoka first, only 3 episodes left and I don't see where she fits.. maybe Bo katan will also look for Sabine

low turret

I think it’ll be a finale appearance

Still gonna watch it for Ahsoka. And possibly Ezra.

He been missing since before the battle of Yavin.

must be like...10 years older, or something like that.

maybe 5.

Ezra will be in the Ahsoka show

storm garden
#

She's looking for him and Thrawn, right?

granite rapids
#

Ahsoka is looking for Thrawn that's confirmed

storm garden
#

So...Since Bo-Katan got told by the armorer to remove her helmet...is she still Mandalorian?

low turret
#

Ezra’s already been cast for Ahsoka

south linden
past stone
#

She had her helmet off all the time previously

#

Was she not mandalorian then

storm garden
#

Nope.

#

She became Mandalorian when she bathed in the waters, saving Din Djarin.

#

And she didnt remove her helmet since, so the Armorer declared her redeemed, and a Mandalorian.

#

Before, she was just a Night Owl.

#

Mandalorians can take off their helmet only to eat, and in absolute privacy.

#

This is the Way.

past stone
#

She was always mandalorian

#

Just didn’t qualify as such by cult standards

storm garden
#

I'll rephrase my question then. Since Bo-Katan got told by the armorer to remove her helmet...is she no longer part of the Armorer's convert?

past stone
#

I guess?

#

But that doesn’t really matter since be the end of the episode the armorer wants bo to unite the mandalorians, covert or not

storm garden
#

Some of the hardcores are gonna leave. Paz Viszla might be first.

#

Not everyone appreciates changes to long-lived traditions.

I thought it's an April fools joke and scrolled up to see if it's a message from yesterday but nah.

You can basically watch season 1 without any prior knowledge, but checking out the OT (4, 5, 6) would give context as to what the empire was

It’s all over the place tbh

Sorry Lizzo can’t act for shit. Only reason she’s here is for promo and that’s it.

#

Sue me.

#

The episode itself was another side quest, and the most pointless out of all of them.

#

We brought this show to a stretching holt so Lizo and Jack black could fuck around for 20 minutes.

#

I just wanted to see some more character man.

Some development with Mando, instead this show spends time with its stupid cloning plot and now this shit.

It's funny to me how there's all this Disney directed angst that tries to retroactively rewrite how the prequels were kinda bad, but we get the most George Lucasy, prequel esque episode ever, and those same people think it's an abomination

#

My only disappointment was that this felt like a detective story and reminds me that it's a shame they can't pull rian Johnson back to this franchise to give us a star wars whodunnit episode

#

Don't even need his whole proposed trilogy, just give me an episode where Mando is stuck on a passenger freighter and has to solve a murder

Goofy ahh episode

Jack Black and Lizo were kinda goofy, yes.

But i figure they were supposed to be.

Characters called for it.

boreal tartan
#

I think its goofy in a creatively bankrupt way

buoyant otter

lucas put even more goofy and creatively bankrupt shit in his movies

Its a satire of the egoistical, pompous, lazy, irresponsible aristocracy.

Kinda like French nobility before the Revolution.

It's great

mossy pumice
#

Glimpses of Thrawn though 😍

#

I just hope it has a good music composer. Not the underwhelming and very filler score we're getting by Shirley from Mando S3😩

#

Even Natalie Holt held quite a lot back for Obi Wan Kenobi series, cause she has gave quite a unique fusion of classical & synthscapes in Loki ost(never saw the series & not planning to anytime) & she has quite a musical sense.

mossy pumice
# granite rapids It's great

Ik. I just hope Filoni directed eps don't rely too much on cameos and all, and invest in better story telling. The cameo shockfactor and selling on nostalgia doesn't work too well in long run.

#

They could've gotten better directors I'd say🤔

storm garden
#

Ok, this looks like its gonna kick ass.

granite rapids

Same but the rebels characters are not cameos though in Ahsoka.. they are main characters

And are they seriously still continuing with Rey?! They announced a new SW film which says will be based on Rey🤮 building the new Jedi order and set 15 years after rise of skywalker 🤮.

# storm garden Provided they have better screenwriters and a bloody plan.

I so had a glimmer of hope they'll retcon sequel trilogy soon like in coming decades while give out as much post og trilogy stuff as possible and retcon it in background slowly.

Sequel trilogy is so uninspiring and very cluttered. And having read Star Wars legend comics for first time since like last year etc, Thrawn Trilogy & New Jedi Order, idk how TF Disney could even able to think to ruin George Lucas plans like that.

#

What could've been!😩

storm garden
#

Directors bickering instead of having a unified vision. Woulda gone well if JJ hadnt copied a new hope, and Rian didnt try to destroy everything with his "Kill the past" approach.

# storm garden Hopefully the next trilogy wont be marred by backstage fuckery.

You can't do a new one which is based on this cluster fuck and pretend it's better now. I'd say it's better to go with silent clean slate reset in background, like i said above, cause Disney can't say by their own words they'd retcon, basically it'll be a self admittance saying they did wrong(they have such useless ego stuck up their ass they'll never admit 😑) and then do as much post og trilogy & post prequel trilogy stuff.

But nahh, looks like they still think they can build on top of that cluster fuck😑.

storm garden
#

Shows are pretty good right now, and they are leading to the fustercluck you describe.

mossy pumice
#

Like in dc i never, CBMs in general i never see cause i grew up a comic book reader & wasn't a fan of some of the adaptation choices they take of some good comic book storyline they miss that point.

And DC i never saw post BvS and whatever tf is with Snyder's take on immigrant Superman story approach and a veteran Batman ffs. He dragged too much with overusage of symbolism it goes on the territories of being a very forced inclusive wokeness bs🤦🏻.

I never even knew they made Black Adam film, new Suicide Squad, Shazam & Flash with apparently Keatons Batman(whatever tf that is) and MCU idk there's this reunion of 3 spideys.. tf?

#

So I'm really glad when i saw Gunn apparently is head of new DC studio, and thought this cluster fuck can't be salvaged so as a comic book reader myself, he should take it upon himself to do a clean slate reboot leaving some characters in this new one. Which is what I so hoped to see in SW now with sequel trilogy. Doing what's necessary even though how daunting it can be for better storytelling and staying true to the vision. @storm garden

Btw i never even saw Endgame to this day & most of MCU in general. It's too far gone for me, what would've been a completely different approach from Favreau before Disney bought them out.

#

i am a bit harsher on this season

#

mainly because of the fact that disney/lucasfilm have proven that they're able to make prestige television with shows like Andor

#

and now I just expect more out of everything else they're making

sly sage
#

i really dont like Andor

pastel shard
#

crazy

#

andor is legitimately the best thing to come out of star wars since 1980

#

because its not trying to be a good star wars show, its just trying to be a good show that actually has something to say

sly sage
#

think its overrated. also Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book Of Boba Fett are so over hated too its crazy. mfs acting like its the worst most evil shit disney has made since the 1940s ww2 cartoons

#

i loved 'The Book Of Boba Fett' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' was great

pastel shard
#

aight i think we just look for two fundementally different things in television then lmao

#

because i really disliked both of those

spare monolith
#

Andor is way better.

#

But it’s not the best thing since 1980

sly sage
#

i was really hoping for a political thriller from Andor and it just didnt feel like that. it felt like the same exact thing as the prequels and the OT and the clone wars and the bad batch and rebels except just worse. it felt like it was riding off the success of Rogue 1

pastel shard
#

andor was easily my favorite new TV show to come out last year

#

the only reason it wasn't my favorite in general was because better call saul s6 and barry s3 were also incredible

sly sage
#

yes

#

i watch all of every Star Wars project multiple times lmao. that argument won't work on me

pastel shard
sly sage
# sly sage yes

the only exception to this is rebels which im about 75% of the way through

ranking tv shows against films is a little weird but i sure as hell think that andor is head and shoulders above any of the other star wars TV shows

and better than the prequels/sequels, with the exception of maybe TLJ

genuine question, please do not take offense to this this isn't meant to be rude or anything

but how old are you

sly sage

almost 19

pastel shard
#

because everyone i've ever met that loves episode 3 like that is a zoomer who grew up watching it and is very nostalgic for the prequels

#

ep3 is far and away the best of the prequels, but its still not what i would really call a very good film besides a handful of scenes

sly sage
#

agree to disagree ig

spare monolith
#

Yeah a lot of people like it because it’s the most action packed I think

it still suffers from most of the same writing issues that 1 and 2 have

i love the politics and the birth/creation of the greatest villain in film history. the cool ass lightsaber fights is just a bonus W

#

i didn't put the shows in because ranking films against television is a bit weird

but if i made a star wars show tier list it would be andor in S and everything else in like B-C lmao

revenge of the sith being lower than the last jedi really hurts but each to their own

me neither. its a spit in the face of the entire franchise. it tries to be unique and just ends up being insulting

#

where as Rise Of Skywalker is just laughably bad. The Last Jedi is insultingly bad

pastel shard
#

I enjoy it because i think luke's character arc in the film is absolutely beautifully done

sly sage
#

its a "fine" standalone film. its an absolutely abysmal Star Wars film.

spare monolith
#

Even if you ignore Luke in this movie a lot of it doesn’t make sense

sly sage
#

i can understand not liking The Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones but putting them in the worst teir then willingly saying The Last Jedi is amongst the best is just downright confusing

#

its like saying you hate chocolate ice cream and mint ice cream but mint chocolate is phenominal. just makes absolutely 0 sense

#

The Last Jedi is easily one of the worst films ive watched from the last decade and ive seen a whole ton of bad films, that may just be because of how big a star wars fan i am so it hurts more but either way its just a terrible movie

pastel shard
#

There's a lot of things I really like about TLJ, like the fact that it's probably the best looking star wars film, the cinematography and use of color is just wonderful, or the fantastic performances from adam driver and daisy ridley and mark hamill, but my favorite part is that every single character has a full, complete, satisfying arc in the film. Particularly luke's character arc in TLJ is one of my favorite things in any star wars film, its genuinely beautiful character writing IMO

#

brb i'll copypaste my full thing i wrote the last time i talked with someone about it lmao

#

wall of text incoming

spare monolith
#

I agree the acting and cinematography was amazing

pastel shard
#

the main thing that stands out to me is the culmination of luke's character arc. dave filoni has summed it up really well so i'll quote him.

“I think Luke understands that it’s not about what he wants. It’s not about what he gains. It’s frankly about what everybody else gained. Sometimes, you have to be the one that carries that burden and becomes that vessel. These aren’t characters that go and get married. They don’t get over the scar. Frodo carries the ring to Mount Doom and for the rest of his life is plagued with fear. On certain days, he remembers those pains. Because he has to carry that burden. And Frodo has no peace until he leaves that world. Luke is that character.”

We see this with luke, in the flashback. he's grown and moved on, but he still has that trauma, which is why in a moment of weakness he pulls out his lightsaber, just like he did against his father. out of that shame he isolates himself, and its not until rey and yoda help him overcome that that he's able to see what actually has to be done.

The death of luke skywalker is genuinely one of the most beautiful scenes in any star wars films. He's overcome his fears and his depression, to look back on his past mistakes (kylo) and face them head on. it mirrors the original scene of him looking forward in ANH at the twin suns, and the future that staying on tattooine entails, but now he's looking back, over the mountaintop and the ocean view of the rising sun instead. Its here that he makes a sacrifice to save the ones he loves instead of fighting kylo out of hate. in doing this he also is what sparks the rebellion again, the image of him is what gives hope, not out of him destroying anything but of him saving them.

spare monolith
#

It’s definitely the best looking film

sly sage
#

its the best looking star wars film because its in the most recent trilogy the first was made in the 70s and 80s and the prequels was made in the 90s and 00s. its like saying someone has the best ass because they have the fattest ass but they only have that because they're 400 kg and obese

#

not to mention Rogue 1 is a far better looking film in my opinion

spare monolith
#

Last Jedi looks better than force awakens and rise of skywalker though

pastel shard
#

some of my favorite looking films of all time are from the 70's lmao

#

i'm not talking about the VFX

#

i'm talking about the framing and composition, and how rian johnson uses camera movement to enhance the visual storytelling of the film

sly sage
#

yeah but looks worse than Rogue 1 and every single star wars show. the only reason it looks better than the OT and Prequels is because its 40 and 15 years older than them

pastel shard
#

one of my favorite shots in the film is an homage to a film from 1927 lmao

#

https://youtu.be/AO2KhMLJxq0 the scene in the casino that recreates this

Scene from the 1927 silent film 'Wings'.

Wings is a 1927 American silent war film set during World War I, produced by Lucien Hubbard, directed by William A. Wellman, released by Paramount Pictures, and starring Clara Bow, Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen. Gary Cooper appears in a small role which helped launch his career in Hollywood.

Also just saw the latest Mando episode. I heard about Lizzo's appearance before i saw it and was absolutely mortified and scared that this episode was going to be ass. The episode was pretty decent, enjoyed seeing the Seperatist droids again. Really excited to see how the next few episodes tie this season to an end.

In what universe is any sequel trilogy film worse than the first two prequels lol
Both of those are like in my worst 15 all time
Though TLJ isnt my favourite of the sequels at all

I like some of the arguments Luke raises about the Jedi being morons. He wasnt wrong.

Yeah although the resolution felt too quick.

But i just rewatched it now(especially the combat scenes) goddamn it's one of the best now I've seen since finale of Season 1(that was just lit combat scenes I've seen there). Rick Famuyiwa is quite a solid director.

Especially Din combat scenes here though, he's improved quite a lot & he always rises upto ocassion in situations where he's boxed in. Especially at the shield scene.

He's basically like Wick Djarin lol!🙌🏻🔥

So am i! Looks like Filoni wants to take certain cues and elements from Thrawn Trilogy which seems pretty apparent in some respects if the theory i have about what ||Ezra & Thrawn would've been possibly upto when sort of stranded in hyperspace with Purgills||

Btw the ones i kept in spoilers are about Rebels show so if you haven't seen, don't look at it.

the previous 2 seasons had him take his helmet off only once in the 1st and twice in the 2nd and thats it

Loved this season finale, great action scenes.. Din and Grogu relationship is now official as well, there are some questions though like who's the spy??

Season 3 overall was quite good, some episodes were much better than others but I enjoyed it a lot

past stone
#

imply the existence of spies
does not elaborate
ends the season

#

i think the episode title was just referring to gideon having eyes on the republic?

#

also

#

did i miss a post credits scene or did they just entirely dismiss the mythosaur

sly sage
#

the spy is the woman at the new republic and the other imperials around the galaxy

#

i thought that was made very obvious

#

the episode named "the spies" opens with ... the spies

#

we gathered she was probably a spy the second she tortured and from the looks of it killed the doctor and when she tried to stop nevaro from being helped then the opening of the episode "the spies" started with her talking to gideon and giving him information

past stone
#

i think it's pretty fair most people expected "the spies" to refer to more than one spy

#

that arent just off screen "oh yeah they exist" spies

Ya, didn't bother me that much

The finale for Mandalorian wasn't the best finale in the world but it hit all the right notes. Great action, emotional moments. It's sad that not everyone vibed with this season, I will say it had it's ups and downs, and it wasn't perfect but it was fine. I just hope people will stick around for season 4 to see that it's better than season 3. I guess I'm not as critical with things as some people are, I just enjoy things for what they are. That's my spiel.

These last couple of episodes were incredible. I loved Moff Gideons return and his new armor was so damn cool. I wish the final act of the season was started a bit earlier so they had more time to resolve the conflict i felt the pacing was a little lack luster but other than that this season was so good

#

also that one "Andor" esque episode with the scientist was so damn long for no reason. I feel like if they shortened that bit of the episode and made it actually make progress in the plot the pacing would’ve been better

Like something just felt off for me
it felt a bit rushed of an ending and was it just me or was the action a little bit awkward and stiff at times

yeah i get that

#

i keep seeing people share ||the grogu 'fight' with the guards|| and it feels so phoned in

#

like this entire season felt like an afterthought

like Favreau got a massive payday from season 2, celebrated for a year and then remember he still has to make a show about halfway through his vacation

by Grogu

I mean if it wasn't for Grogu, he would've met same fate like Paz. And they're putting up quite a good fight if it wasn't for Grogu who helped a bit.

But the fight before, i think the action there is quite good with Dins combat sequences at the shield scene.

Season 3 is a bit of a patch, but we'll see

#

1 and 2 was great, 2.5 is not bad (except the aforementioned thing with Luke, and the time that was devoted to that which messed with the structure of Book of Boba Fett, making it mid), 3 is serviceable, but felt more a setup of things to come than any other (full) seasons before it

It's not just you... losing Gina Carano already messed with things, and then they messed with Grogu becoming more Jedi before coming back to Din... but I can't say no good came from that... we got Intergalactic Detective Carson Teva, played by Paul (the father of Kim's Convinience), and that's great.

my ratings of the show

fallow ridge
#

I think the first half of the season was kind of snorefest but the last two episodes really woke me up I felt like I was watching a movie with real stakes.

Also I'm still feeling perplexed over that doctor episode, they're gonna grab that thread at another time but it's bizzare that not much progressed on that end. Time was very weirdly alotted and used between narratives.

fair linden
#

I felt like there was something off writing wise this season. Some small things that just made no sense, some dialogue felt a bit off and odd story decisions at times. There was something there in the finale but i kinda felt detached for the whole episode. Idk, they tried for an epic finale but it felt kinda weak.

||However Grogu being adopted was a sweet moment even though Grogu wasn’t originally going to be here. I do also like the thread of Din Djarin working for the New Republic and the ending shot with him living with Grogu was nice and sweet too. But it doesn’t save the fact that, for me, the season overall was kinda mid and stumbled a lot, even the finale action felt like super stiff and awkward and that didn’t help things. However, it is saved from pure mediocrity by its conclusion being nice.||

And also get Ludwig Görannsson back for the 4th season. Its so evident how much of a filler Joseph Shirley has made for Mando music unless he uses Ludwigs theme which are so... Ehh.

I love how he said in interviews he wanted to involve more strings and ensemble here with orchestral writing but the thing is he obviously doesn't know how to write for strings and orchestra. The thing is, which is most probable, he used a lot of string vsts and orchestral vsts.

#

He might have slapped in two or three patches of those and wrote a really underwhelming melody and called it a day. What he didn't do is he didn't think in the way of a strings or ensemble are usually recorded live.

He should've mixed those sections better or at least could've set different velocities for each section, cause orchestal players in general tend to invoke more variety and make few different additions when playing, like when a drummer does perhaps, cause he can't keep doing same rhythm patterns again and again.

balmy night
#

That’s the problem every composer has when they made an iconic motif tho… I mean look at DC, they are still using and crediting John Williams’ Superman Theme

mossy pumice
#

I think problem is much more inherently deeper than that. They don't even do a faithful re-imagining of motifs with their own spin.

Görannsson is extremely skilled in that regard when he used Kiners Ahsoka theme in Mandolarian S2. Its so so well done, especially in sections where he plays both Mandos theme & Ahsoka theme with recorder and a flute with such beautiful use of counterpoints, just uff!

And Görannsson is even brave enough to write a whole new fuckin motif for Luke fckin Skywalker and that too is so brilliantly written. Williams theme is more Korngold esque whereas Görannsson new theme with really amazing chromatic dissonances, it's so Shostakovich in a way.

#

And that's not a small feat at all.

#

Joseph Shirley is not someone who in a 100 years could do something as creative and bold, cause he doesn't have such inherent depth or deep understanding music theory like Görannsson has.

#

Season 1 and 2 Mando music is full of unconventional instruments

mossy pumice
# balmy night Season 1 and 2 Mando music is full of unconventional instruments

They're conventional instruments tbf! Just more sound synthesis with some amazing analog synths he has like from Korg & Roland. Dude has eurorack that so many dream of to buy😍🙌🏻. Whereas me I'm still awaiting my Arutria analog synth i put an order for and still waiting to recieve🥲

He definitely has that music theory knowledge to carry cause he's trained as both classical and jazz composer. And he's a multi instrumentalist himself so he places that emphasis of making everything sound as authentic as possible. Not every section sounding the same.

balmy night
#

Right, but how many orchestra had you seen a Bass Recorder in the last while? lol

#

It's not full "unconventional", fair, but it's not conventional either... most philharmonics just sort of leave those instruments out, since you can't hear them that well, and their parts are easily replaceable with other wind instruments in the section.... WHO makes it the LEAD instrument!? BASED AS F!

mossy pumice
# balmy night It's not full "unconventional", fair, but it's not conventional either... most p...

Ohk in that sense yeah I agree! And he's also very skilled to let like each instruments sing that melody out, like first with the bass recorder, then the electric guitar then carry forwarded by the amazing fanfare of brass & strings. Just uff & followed by the brilliant rhythms and the bass recorder.

Görannsson is my absolute favourite in film composers now when it comes to percussions. His use of polyrhythms and unusual rhythm patterns (that's what having trained in jazz & having love of math rock and metal music really pays off). And also having learned African music and diaspora must have really opened up his mind when doing BP.

#

Just absolutely love it cause it's actually listening to real authentic music writing there in rhythms instead of the godawful percussions Zimmer plagued with his boring vst enabled Taiko drums which sounds same like sledgehammers hitting shipping containers.

They both are absolute travesty😩. And BR 2049 ain't even Zimmers work smug it's just Benjamin Wallfisch, not like Zimmer could do better than bwwwwaaaaahhhh or playing 2 or 3 notes and that's all he knows. And doesn't know music notation which is fine at cases but when you're an orchestral composer music notation is absolutely necessary and knowledge of music theory and i can't stress that enough.

# balmy night Dune also a hard album to listen by itself, it only works as part of the film

All i listened is a very generic unstructured and pretentious nonsense. And also his claims of inventing new sounds is downright laughable.

Mind-blowing the extent to which this charlatan claims inventing things that are known, were used dozillion times, and are, for e.g. the saudakar voice, simply throat-singing techniques. He is the kind of guy after skimming through a literature compendium tries to hoax you into believing he has read them all, all the great books he stutteringly summarizes.

The "highly unusual rhythmic stuff" is kunnakol. It should be a crime to look so gleeful when you steal culture and pass it off as your own. Classic culture misappropriation.

Its fine if he uses those, but what he said is he said he invented it from scratch, what a fckin mooch!

If that's what you say is listenable... Well then... Oof😶
