Mandalorian

[tough sigil]

Katee’s mentioned her in interviews

[weary olive]

Would’ve been a perfect time to mention her when they had that chat in the ruins of mandalore

[earnest smelt]

They made her episodes important for the OWK “list of episodes to watch” but nothing for mandalorian

[weary olive]

She wasn’t mentioned at all in Kenobi

[earnest smelt]

Yep

[slow fiber]

Maybe it wasn’t a Mandalorian at all, but someone with a beskar weapon, like the one magistrate had.

[foggy tide]

facial capture

[mint quest]

I think it's safe to say whatever Imperil Remnant Thrawn controls isn't related to the First Order, since we already know the founders of the First Order (Gideon isn't one either).

I think there's 3;

• Brendol Hux and Rae Sloane, somewhere in the Unknown Regions building the First Order
• Gideon, who I guess is building the Final Order for Palpatine's ghost (vomits)
• Thrawn, for a mini Thrawn Trilogy arc on D+

[past yew]

I wish trandoshans went back to being 6'8 beasts with long arms and huge claws

They've been done pretty dirty in mando and bobf

[weary olive]

Yeah but we see the bottom 2 in the sequels but no thrawn though which is making me wonder if they just kill him jn Ashoka

[shrewd shell]

Is it possible Thrawn is trying to make his own imperial remnant faction?

[clever sundial]

Great job making magic @shrewd shell! Mickey is promoting you to level 42 !

[weary olive]

Sure, but he’s not in the sequels at all, which isn’t that far from mando

[earnest smelt]

They could kill him in this show like they did Cad Bane

[shrewd shell]

Yeah that's why I'm thinking Thrawn might be separate from the FO and final order

[weary olive]

Disney really messed up the sequels imo

All the roads lead to the same place

Prequels the writing was eh but the world building was perfect imo

[weary olive]

That’s my fear right now

[earnest smelt]

We still have 25 years of story-telling to tell

[weary olive]

And it leads to the same place though

Republic destroyed, new order builds their planet and snoke exists??

[fading raptor]

Pretty much. They're kind of exploring bookended time.

[earnest smelt]

Why do we neeed the prequels and clone wars we know vader kills obi-wan and he’s Luke’s son and Luke kills the emperor?

[mint quest]

This is the Clone Wars. Your describing the Clone Wars.

[vast rover]

explain yourself

world building?

[earnest smelt]

They did for $70 each

[weary olive]

Universe felt much bigger

[earnest smelt]

Like I get the prequel time period is more explored bc of the gaps it had to fill and how much time there is between movies

Sequel timeline has 30+ years after ROTJ to explore and a few months between TLJ and TROS that haven’t been super touched on yet.

I do agree that having TFA and TLJ take place like hours apart kinda shortens our time with the cast

[mint quest]

There's probably still time to retcon the amount of time between VIII and IX

They never mention it at all in the movie

It's one of the few positive things about that movie, it's so divorced from reality that you can put it anywhere in the timeline you want.

[vast rover]

only to be destroyed in the first episode

[weary olive]

Prequel?

[weary olive]

My point is more like it seems they are trying to set up the sequels with this as opposed to doing completely different things

[weary olive]

The thing is for the prequels it felt like there was a whole thing happening alongside the clone wars that we were seeing

Like there’s space for other stories to exist

The sequels felt like all that was happening in the galaxy was what we were watching

Tbf the clone wars is much more exciting than the first order so I could be biased

[vast rover]

Oh prequels

I saw sequels and instantly saw red

[shrewd shell]

Yeah tfa kinda fucked up the world building cause I still don't understand the power dynamics of the new republic, resistance, and first order

Like FO is supposed to be a new faction born out of the ashes but they seemingly get control of the entire galaxy right away?

And like the New Republic is demilitarized so they only have the resistance? But why are they treated the same as the rebel alliance even though the New Repub is the dominant faction

Also destroying hosnian prime is a big blow but then it's treated like the entire New Republic is gone

[weary olive]

I say this a lot but pre Disney canon was better

You had imperial remnant, then you had out of galaxy threat which made sense why palpatine made the empire, then you had bad solo kid, perfect

[vast rover]

So you're saying Disney is ruining Star Wars

[past yew]

They made the sequels way too fast paced in general

[vast rover]

I mean its simple now to understand where first order got all their financing to build a planet sized deathstar

Palpatine knew the "motherlode" command for Star Destroyers and Credits!

[shrewd shell]

I actually don't mind them fleshing out how he returned, cause honestly in the movies the clones are wasted, they're only used for an army

Like all palatine talks about in Ep3 is defeating death and a movie before it's all about clones

[weary olive]

I would like to forget the sequels exist tbh

[vast rover]

i think almost all the actors want to forget the sequels exist

like it was just that bad

[weary olive]

I don’t see any engaging or interesting story where this cultists take his dead body from the Star destroyer and hook it up

[vast rover]

i dont see any engaging or interesting story arise from when 30 planets get blown up in seconds

[weary olive]

Does anyone remember a comic series set before the old republic where korriban was still inhabited

[crystal cliff]

dude take me to the old republic

[vast rover]

Maybe not this one

[vast rover]

[crystal cliff]

Idgaf about Revan, he boring, but I like the world building of the old republic

[vast rover]

you got your books. be done with it

[weary olive]

Peak trilogy would be the darth bane trilogy

Imma keep saying it till they make it

[vast rover]

nah

you wrong

Bane 1 was good. 2 and 3 sucked.

[burnt steppe]

is this just non-mando star wars discourse now?

[crystal cliff]

blame mando for becoming the glue for the whole star wars universe 😂

[weary olive]

Correct

[weary olive]

You just hate the girl

[primal flume]

if we can get mando working, we can fix the universe

cause hes a more gluey character then we've had before

[vast rover]

Mando is the key to all this

[shrewd shell]

My faith in Mando has faded a little, I'm team Andor since the investor meeting when they announced it

[vast rover]

my excitement for Mando has definitely faded.

The more seasons it goes, the less it interests me

[weary olive]

Can’t believe we went from peak mando in bobf into this tbh

[vast rover]

i feel like i HAVE to make the wife watch with me. I can tell she's bored.

Thread brings up a good point that a lot of the S2 shit got swept under the rug

[vast rover]

before I go thru it, let me guess. Mando 2-3 feel more episodic rather than a growing and involving story like Mando S1. Also Ando ruined Mando.

[weary olive]

Good summary

[weary olive]

Not really the first one but yes to the second one

[crystal kiln]

I think it’s pretty obvious that Pedro not being able to be on set fucked over their plans

[shrewd shell]

The thread is more about how in S2/3 it's more about thing shows up and Mando has to save the day, everything is reactionary. Mando taking off his helmet and him giving up grogu are resolved with no consequences

[vast rover]

I was fine with S2 until it got Filoni-ed

https://tenor.com/view/omega-bad-batch-gif-21458892

[fading raptor]

The shorter episodes might help that too. That combined with production time difference between animation and live action

[vast rover]

we are what, 4 episodes in? And we don't really have a proper villain?

other then A290192193 or whatever the fuck their name is

[fading raptor]

Gideon is missing.

[vast rover]

that doesn't fucking count and yall know it

star wars animation starts out as kids show = bad, then adult show = amazing

[weary olive]

this applies to all star wars animation

except for that resistance show

[weary olive]

Xizor gets no love

Kinda annoyed that grogu doesn’t do shit tbh

He actually like did stuff in season 1 and 2

[tough sigil]

Dude rebels is incredible

[weary olive]

This one he just flips

How many clones are there in rebels

[vast rover]

[tough sigil]

Uhhh

[vast rover]

why dont you watch and find out

you idiot

[tough sigil]

||There’s a few||

Clone Wars and Rebels get good in about the same amount of time/episodes

[vast rover]

cj ddelete

dont give in

make him watch

[weary olive]

I just skipped around clone wars

Followed a watch guide

That for some reason had jar jar romance

[vast rover]

you dummy, did you mean episodes?

or seasons?

[tough sigil]

I ended up watching all of clone wars

I’m glad I did

[weary olive]

No, I meant clones

Why would I not mean clones

[vast rover]

such a bizarre question to ask

unless you have clone trooper fetish

[tough sigil]

Rebels is such good television

[weary olive]

Idk if you’ve seen my messages

But I have 0 interest in Ezra and Sabine

[burnt steppe]

wtf is this conversation?

[shrewd shell]

Jar Jar romance in a retelling of Temple of Doom

[crystal kiln]

Gorian shand actually jumped out right before the ship crashed and he’s gonna be the main villain of season 4 trust

Also Chopper

[crystal cliff]

isn't it basically asking how many troops they have

[tough sigil]

Do it for Chopper

https://tenor.com/view/chopper-star-wars-rebels-starwars-gif-6166752

[vast rover]

Because I don't see why Rebels = Clone Troopers

I wouldn't assume all star wars shows to have clone troopers in them

[shrewd shell]

Me when Hera tells me to do something

[crystal cliff]

if someone asks if there are sith in a star wars thing does that mean they're a sith fker

idk why it immediately goes to sexual vs just like, idk, liking something

[weary olive]

All Star Wars shows have had a clone in it actually

[mint quest]

Boy this thread turned into an EU circle jerk real quick

[crystal cliff]

and tbh as a non-cartoon enjoyer i just assumed rebels had clone troopers in it like all the other cartoons

[vast rover]

Its like me asking How many tie fighters are in Mando? Why would I ask that? I have a fetish for Ties

[crystal cliff]

Wow Jiga needs to hang out with more military bros

I think Mando S3 is doing a good job of isolating Mando discourse.

[weary olive]

I said I’m sorry why you gotta be like that

[weary olive]

I laughed

[foggy tide]

I think star wars discourse should just

Star Wars should end with Andor S2, the galaxy implodes

And as such it’s ruined a lot of media and how we consume it

Like the binging model

[mint quest]

Truly the first Star Wars movie made for Star Wars fans.

[crystal kiln]

first Star Wars movie to have lightsabers

[crystal cliff]

this is pretty much where i'm at with it. i think it's pretty bad because they've lost sight of what makes it good but i don't care about how it ties into the lore (i think trying to tie into it is a detriment.). and i don't think it's fair to compare it to andor except for the bit where it was trying to be andor. the writing on mando doesn't need to be andor but i don't like them widening the scope either. i still enjoy the episodes, enough.

but needs more clone troopers.

[foggy tide]

this 100%

[tough sigil]

Personally have the vibes been different this season? A bit, but they’re still building toward a story, people everywhere (not just here) have been complaining about how it’s not andor etc

They were complaining 2/3 episodes in

[foggy tide]

only nerds were comparing it to andor
(mostly because only nerds watched andor)

[weary olive]

Cz knows what’s up

[crystal kiln]

I understand that it’s not trying to be andor but I wish it was trying to be good at least

[weary olive]

Yes

I think it's interesting that they're expanding the scope to Bo in this season, because I don't think they could have done a whole other season of Din being on his own. But the Gideon stuff should be over by now.

Is there even any urgency in doing that tho

Not omega squad I don’t care

Mando should just leave it behind

[vast rover]

doesnt count

you idiot

WATCH REBELS

[weary olive]

He lost it already to the spire dude

[vast rover]

then you understand

[weary olive]

Spider dude

And Bo beat the spider dude

Therefore bo has dark saber

[vast rover]

spider dude?

[weary olive]

Ez

[vast rover]

oh

that fucking

[shrewd shell]

Make pelli the dark saber wielder

[mint quest]

Then it would just be like the Elder Wand from Harry Potter, waiting for someone to kill him and dig it up.

[vast rover]

LOL I completely forgot

omg

[foggy tide]

Im excited for this channel to go away

[foggy tide]

Real

[shrewd shell]

The spider dude was pretty cool I liked that episode

[weary olive]

I can’t watch him wield that thing

[crystal kiln]

I liked the robot spider too

[vast rover]

i thought he was something.

[crystal cliff]

why wasn't there more about the spider dude aka future grysk enemy of thrawn

[vast rover]

Spider dude = Greivous revival

[crystal kiln]

I’m so happy it was just a random dude

[shrewd shell]

Here's how Greivous can return in s4

[crystal kiln]

and not grevious’s son or whatever

[crystal cliff]

dw they'll wrap around to it

just because they dropped it now doesn't mean it isn't connected

[weary olive]

Thrawn gotta get some Ysalamiri

[shrewd shell]

Bring back the baby Yoda baby cuffs

[vast rover]

Somehow, Greivous' are grown like snokes

[weary olive]

Okay they use the themes way too excessively in rebels

[vast rover]

and Luuke rescues Luuuke

If you're on Season 1, i dont want to hear it.

just grind thru it

[mint quest]

If a Ysalimiri shows up in Ahsoka I will riot.

[weary olive]

Like the last 4 episodes

Good or bad riot?

[mint quest]

Bad. What was the point of buying Star Wars if not to bury Anti-Force Sloths in the annals of time?

[vast rover]

yall are going too deep into legends

come back

[weary olive]

Because they are cool?

[mint quest]

THAT WAS THE FIRST BOOK

[weary olive]

Burying luuke and luuuke is better

And the bug episode

[shrewd shell]

Will continue to shit on Disney star wars until they release Detours

[mint quest]

I did actually read Heir to the Empire. EU goes off the rails so fast.

[weary olive]

C baoth is fun

Read outward bound

[vast rover]

Read X Wing books

you can smell the controls

[weary olive]

rogue and wraith squadron books are so good

[vast rover]

really hoping the rogue squadron movie has that sort of feel

surely

[weary olive]

If it ever comes out

[mint quest]

It is super 90s

Like, I have to cut it a bit of slack for that I guess

[vast rover]

oh yeah scratch out all the "if any female is described, she is slender, with supple lips"

[shrewd shell]

Wdym? It comes out this year

[vast rover]

get all that fucking neckbeard cringe out

[mint quest]

"The Empire is back, but this time they have to contend with Luke Skywalker and his sexy, sexy, girlfriend."

[vast rover]

Coran Horn, male, and his super sexy, with shiny glossy haired female co-pilot

[crystal cliff]

this is why i don't read that crap

[weary olive]

I really don’t remember any of that lol

[vast rover]

lol you don't?

[mint quest]

"Why didn't Disney use Mara Jade, smh my head."
Mara Jade:

[vast rover]

there's a fucking paragraph describing any human or twiilek female

and when it comes to male species its like "Oh and there's Joe the Sullustan

[weary olive]

It was a long time ago

[weary olive]

I do kinda remember this but in the other legends books

[weary olive]

Regardless of the ohysical description, I maintain Mara jade was a great character

[vast rover]

i know nothing about Mara Jade other than she was Luke's boo/mistress???

[mint quest]

I think she was interesting at the time, and maybe she helped pave the way for a lot of other (better) female characters later in Star Wars canon, but she's pretty out of date at this point.

Also, ||the end of her character arc|| kind of makes the rest of her story not worth it.

[weary olive]

||she gets killed by Luke’s mortal enemy?||

[shrewd shell]

Giving Luke a love interest also kinda helps differentiate his Jedi Order from the old one

[mint quest]

||To me, the fact that all of the main characters except the EU original one survived that arc (unless that's also the one where they Mooned Chewie) is emblematic of what was wrong with the EU||

[weary olive]

||going from emperors hand and assigned to kill Luke to marrying him and being badass||

[mint quest]

It's just sort of a never never land for Luke and his friends where they never grow up and can go on adventures forever.

[weary olive]

||they mooned chewie in the series before that, which is when they killed anakin too||

[weary olive]

||they go through massive trauma though||

I don’t think that’s really fair to say

[vast rover]

why yall spoilering

[mint quest]

It's 30 years old, but it's spoilers nonetheless

[shrewd shell]

||Darth Vader is Luke's father||

[foggy tide]

BOOOOO

[vast rover]

technically ||Darth Vader is Luuke and Luuuke's father||

[mint quest]

||Pirate King Gorian Shard||

[fading raptor]

||Deez nutz get rekt||

[mint quest]

||Wouldn't Daarth Vader be Luuke's father?||

[vast rover]

i honestly couldn't tell if you were shitposting or not

Disney did something right by killing off the EU

[shrewd shell]

But are the sequels better than post ROTJ eu? (Genuine question)

[vast rover]

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-down-bad-contemplating-gif-26288723

its too broad

better than Thrawn trilogy? no

[earnest smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/thick-women-gif-25813955

[mint quest]

Let's put it this way. Heir to the Empire would have made a very poor Episode VII in 2015.

[weary olive]

Agreed

I mean the scope of the EU was just so large

There is gonna be good and bad

[proven hedge]

Have to say that this was a very solid episode

I did actually like most of the episodes so far but this one was by far the best

I also felt like this particular episode was trying to set up Rangers of the New Republic

[vast rover]

never heard of the Rangers other then when Carson mentioned it

oh

[proven hedge]

i only really thought about it once they fired Gina Carano and it was mentioned how that kind of screwed up the idea for the series

[vast rover]

whelp

[foggy tide]

I like this one

[proven hedge]

This whole “something dark is out there” feels like it’s trying to set up a series where Teva investigates the imperial remnant and what they’re up to while struggling to convince Coruscant that there’s a real problem

Don’t know though, could be wrong.

[vast rover]

would be nice, i however, the pessimist, feel like Teva was used just to make the connection and reveal that Gideon escaped

[proven hedge]

Definitely possible

[weary olive]

I feel like I would hate that show lol

[proven hedge]

Even if that’s the case though, if there’s a remote amount of interest Disney will find a way to make it work

(even if the final product is garbage)

[vast rover]

iono. with all the layoffs and stuff, i think Disney is kinda wary or maybe not as aggressive with the star wars expansion

Feel like Ahsoka and Andor will be the focus then they'll see

[proven hedge]

Maybe so.

D+ has definitely gotten a lot less Star Wars content than I would have expected

[vast rover]

marvel and star wars fatigue

[proven hedge]

after ahsoka and andor have had their run there has to be some more shows focusing on new characters, like what Mandalorian started as

I also feel like we could see a Bad Batch spin-off or another Clone Wars-style series because they draw in decent amounts of viewers and are probably pretty cheap to produce compared to live action shows.

Again though, all speculation.

[shrewd shell]

Bad Batch allows them to do clone wars episodes that don't necessarily need to be set during the era

Also Tales of the Jedi

Seems like that CW art style is the star wars art style here on out, and they'll probably always be running one animated show

[fading raptor]

Well they did adjust the style for that one show that took place on the water planet. I think the style has just continued because this is a CW spin off.

[shrewd shell]

Also makes it easier for them to reuse assets

[foggy tide]

It’s like poetry it rhymes

[shrewd shell]

https://tenor.com/view/george-lucas-its-poetry-rhymes-gif-19518899

[fading raptor]

TV animation is all about reusing assets.

In discussing animated characters coming to live action, Favreau begins talking about Zeb and Filoni seemed panicked about a spoiler for a different character for a moment #TheMandalorian #PaleyFest

There’s a lot of talk of secrets that have been kept and are to be revealed. Filoni squirms under his hat amongst the talk and begins, “When Zeb leaves the room and talks to…you want to know and we want you to know, but it’s so much better for you to learn it in the right time…

Twitter · Apr 1, 2023, 4:05 AM

So somebody is planned here

[slow fiber]

Jar Jar

[shrewd shell]

I mean I think its somewhat obvious the entire Ghost crew (sans Kanan) is probably gonna show up in either Mando or Ahsoka

[foggy tide]

filoni gonna filoni

[earnest smelt]

His husband Kallus

[pure lotus]

it's probably Zeb and Sabine and/or Hera as a credits scene or something

[steel stag]

I'd be fine with just chopper

[pure lotus]

it's definitely gonna be something like that though

remember that the credits scene for Mando 2 was the announcement for Boba

so a credits scene here "announcing" Ahsoka works

Sabine would make the most sense, with the focus now being on Bo bringing in the remaining Mandalorians

[burnt steppe]

Mandalori✨an

[proven hedge]

pretty much

[earnest smelt]

There is no heterosexual explanation for that

[formal cape]

Watched Episode 3 finally

Still not a very well made episode of TV, but it’s getting more Snokey!

This show is losing me to fan service and cameos, but I’m still here for the First Order/Snoke connections

[weary olive]

Really?

[formal cape]

Yeah. It’s just not super well made, this dialogue is really rough

I hate to say Andor ruined Star Wars, but going to Coruscant set up some unflattering comparisons

[weary olive]

I mean the first order connections part

[formal cape]

Oh yeah I love me some First Order setup

Republic police cruisers were the same ships the cops on Canto Bight used too

[pure lotus]

did you watch rebels

[weary olive]

Not personally a fan because they had no idea what to do with snoke

[formal cape]

It was a good The Last Jedi episode

[formal cape]

Just read the plot and clips on YT

I’m still on episode 3 of Mando

[pure lotus]

gotcha

You're the first person I've seen be happy with the first order connections lol

[weary olive]

Rebels has first order stuff?

[pure lotus]

no

[weary olive]

Oh

[pure lotus]

but i'm worried that they're gonna tie Thrawn into FO stuff

[formal cape]

My Star Wars movie rankings remains 8,5,7,4,6,3,9,1,2

Anything to set up 8 and 7 more I’m here for

[crystal cliff]

Yikes

[weary olive]

Can’t imagine how they explain how he wasn’t there at all during the everything

[pure lotus]

the rare person who loves 8 and hates Andor

[weary olive]

Well I guess he could’ve gone back to the chiss

[pure lotus]

i didn't think that was possible

[weary olive]

Don’t think he’s interested in non palpy empire stuff actually

Based on the first thrawn book

[formal cape]

Wait no I adore Andor

[solar copper]

I’m not bold enough to put 8 ahead of 4 & 5 but respect.

[weary olive]

7 being top 3 is criminal tbh

Eh 8 being 1 is also bad

Fuel chase setup has to be the worst thing ever invented

[formal cape]

The only actually artistically great Star Wars is Last Jedi, Andor, and Empire Strikes Back

The rest can be fun Star Wars, I don’t need to start a war here

[crystal cliff]

I love andor and hate 8

[weary olive]

Nah I’m convinced people who like 8 just like to be different

[pure lotus]

I feel like that's a pretty common take

[weary olive]

It’s like 40 minutes too long

[crystal cliff]

You can’t even tell me the canto bight part is well written cuz it ain’t

[foggy tide]

ooh is it time for star wars discourse again?

[solar copper]

Nope I legit like 8. It has its issues absolutely but it’s different.

[weary olive]

Plot armor to the core

[foggy tide]

https://tenor.com/blnBQ.gif

[pure lotus]

i was expecting this gif actually

https://tenor.com/view/grandpa-abe-exit-confused-bye-bart-gif-7694184

[formal cape]

8 and 7 are good movies in spite of the bad setup they have, so I’m all for Mando filling in these blanks

[foggy tide]

if we're doing this again i'm just gonna pull out book of boba fett defense

nobody can stop me

[weary olive]

When they are in the shuttles heading to the salt plains planet, obviously the shuttle with the main characters is gonna survive

[formal cape]

Yes Oats, they call that movies

[weary olive]

Like I get the concept of 8 is the most interesting out of all of them, it’s just terribly executed

[pure lotus]

7 is a totally fine mid 2010's movie, I have zero issues with it. 8 is a totally fine movie on it's own, it's even a totally fine Star Wars movie, it's just a terrible sequel to 7

[weary olive]

J assume you are a fan of leia surviving her exposure to hard vaccuum?

[formal cape]

But if Mando is insistent on filling in every possible blank in Star Wars, I’d rather they fill in the huge gap of where the hell the first order came from versus what Luke Skywalker had for lunch every day

[weary olive]

Gotta read the books for that

[pure lotus]

Y'know, fair.

[weary olive]

I mean it’s just gonna be new republic incompetence

[pure lotus]

I'd rather they don't ever bring Luke back into Mando

[weary olive]

There’s no super tactical genius play

[earnest smelt]

April fools

[shrewd shell]

little late but i actually dont mind the FO and palpatine cloning connections, although not really in Mando but id much prefer them explore that with Asohka

[pure lotus]

I mean realistically the Mando route is gonna end up being (tagging since usc is on 3) ||Gideon being involved in the FO creation||

[weary olive]

Can someone sell me on why palpatine cloning is interesting

Is it not just dudes collect his dna and go to that world for 50 years

[shrewd shell]

cause it does something with clones other than making an army

[weary olive]

Build a fleet of planet destroying Star destroyers

Like there’s no development

[formal cape]

9 is bad but that doesn’t mean you can’t try to fill in the blanks with something interesting

[shrewd shell]

outside of clone wars, intruducing the concept of cloning and all they do with it is make an army, when in ROTS palps wont stop shutting up about cheating death

[weary olive]

The Maw in the EU was so much more interesting

[shrewd shell]

Like its RIGHT THERE

[formal cape]

Isn’t making something good between something bad the point of the clone wars

[shrewd shell]

im not familiar with the maw

[burnt steppe]

i’m late but

[solar copper]

The problem tbh with this logic, is you can say the same thing about Empire, its actually not a great sequel to A New Hope in a lot of ways. 8 does a lot of the same things that 5 did, rejects an established setup about parentage, invented new force powers, etc. The difference is the ending element of the trilogy actually ties both elements together unlike 9 which ignores 8.

[weary olive]

The Maw was the site of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's Maw Installation, where the Death Star prototype and most of the first Death Star was built, although it was completed at Despayre. Tarkin knew that the Maw's near-inaccessibility and remoteness made it easy for him to hide the project. The installation was actually located within a safe zone inside the cluster discovered just prior to the start of the project.

[formal cape]

Hey they asked for the direct comparison with Episode 3!

[shrewd shell]

its true tho 😔

[pure lotus]

isn't it kind of wild that doing 7 and 9 has basically killed JJ Abrams career

[weary olive]

True that

Lens flare criminal gone

[shrewd shell]

I hate that Grogu is an excuse for Din and Bo to exposition dump the audience

[weary olive]

Wait actually is the palps in 9 a clone or a regen body?

[shrewd shell]

clone

but he put his essence in it

[weary olive]

Why did he have to get hooked up to the thing

[shrewd shell]

https://tenor.com/view/avoid-women-man-manly-essence-gif-15473065

[weary olive]

If it was a clone

Idk I havent rewatched any of them

[shrewd shell]

its in the novel

[solar copper]

His trajectory of directing is honestly kinda wild when you stop and look at it. A hot take is that his best film is Super 8 as its only one that feels like his own, even if its him doing a Spielberg impersonation.

[shrewd shell]

idk something about him to powerful with the force

[fading raptor]

If I remember, I think his body was destroyed in the Death Star and his essence just jumped from clone to clone as they degraded unable to deal with his power.

[weary olive]

Sure

[solar copper]

Actually though, I like this. I’d rather this then having two characters who know all the information talking about it for no reason other than we the audience needs to know it.

[shrewd shell]

which isnt a bad explanation but all of it is in the damn novelization

[shrewd shell]

ehh it happens too much for me

[weary olive]

Wish they did more flashbacks

[pure lotus]

i'm a Star Trek (2009) defender till the day i die

[shrewd shell]

I am of the opinion that the middle portion of ep 9 is geniuenly really great, and that TROS could be a really good sw film if it was reedited/cut down/re contextualized

its a lot, but theres good buried in it

[weary olive]

The part where they find the 2000 year old knife that clearly shows the rubble of a space station shot down 40 years ago?

[shrewd shell]

right after that part

[weary olive]

Gotcha

[solar copper]

Maybe it does, but its a much better story telling method imo to have that “audience stand in” character to me than some of the alternatives. It happens a lot in media, I think we notice it more in Mando, because Grogu isn’t an active part of the conversation.

[weary olive]

Rey kylo tension is good

[shrewd shell]

no literally, DS2 rubble to rey getting to exogol is pretty good section

[solar copper]

I’d put that 2nd or 3rd. Toss up with TFA which I like more.

[shrewd shell]

that and they kinda dumb it down for Grogu

[formal cape]

Works well enough too

Mando is an excellent serial Western

[solar copper]

Okay but the fucking knife matching up with the DS2 rubble, that was the stupidest thing in the world.

[pure lotus]

give him a break, he's only like 56 years old

[solar copper]

And it ruins a lot of that section of the film for me.

[shrewd shell]

oh yeah def, that was complete bs

[formal cape]

I don’t have really any complaints with Mando when it doesn’t try to be more than a great Serialized Western

[shrewd shell]

but like that could so easily be cut out from the film, they just shouldve

[weary olive]

Should’ve just had palpy leaving some clues behind for his successor

[shrewd shell]

theres already people on the planet that probably have explored it and be like "theres a locked vault there"

[pure lotus]

i think this was the plot of Battlefront II - 2

[formal cape]

Laughing at that ridiculous name

(Which is the best way to describe it)

[solar copper]

I think I understand what it means though sadly

[solar copper]

Battlefront 2 (2017) is the alternative

[formal cape]

This conversation is all my fault for writing the number 9 in one message

[earnest smelt]

Read shadow of the sith

[shrewd shell]

one thing I dislike about TFA is that the FO is treated as powerful and big as the empire but theyre not, and the destruction of Hosnian Prime basically makes the entire New Republic nonexistant

[formal cape]

Yup, it’s a flaw, and hopefully Mando can flush that out

[weary olive]

I’m confused how mando can fix that

[solar copper]

I actually think thats the thing that 8 gets right the most, it makes both The Resistance and First Order feel relatively small and their fight feel more localized more so than 7 or 9. It maybe doesn’t make total sense when compared to 7 but I think it works.

[shrewd shell]

the coruscant ep

[weary olive]

That new republic are incompetent?

There are book(s)? Why they moved to hosnian prime or no

[shrewd shell]

by ep9 it makes sense cause time is passed

[solar copper]

Fair point.

[shrewd shell]

yeah I think if TFA had better world building with power dynamics that the FO is a smaller neo fascist group I think it wouldve been a lot better and more interesting, also would help with (ep6 ending was for nothing criticism)

[pure lotus]

the other thing though about First Order setup

is that it can't be like, exclusively ROTJ-on

things were happening since at least ~5 years after Order 66

in Fallen Order when you go to Ilum, there's already the giant trench down the middle of the planet that turns into Starkiller Base

[weary olive]

That is true

[shrewd shell]

but that was just mining for kyber

I think it was dig first, then oh hey we can make this a super weapon later

or like it was the plan for the empire but then just picked up by FO

[steel stag]

Mandalorian

[mint quest]

To be fair, 9 ignores 1-7 too

[mint quest]

They are absolutely not as big as the empire in VII, lmao

What makes the current setup in Mando bad is that it's related to the Final Order, not the First Order. It might actually be halfways interesting if it were about the First Order.

But instead it's some sort of studio mandate to make IX make any shred of sense in context, which isn't fair to the creators.

Why should they be forced to treat that movie with any amount of respect when its entire mission statement was to disrespect the franchise?

[vast rover]

Noooo I missed Star Wars discourse

I’m getting big ||scooby doo who dun it vibes||

[pure lotus]

Okay good exactly what people were complaining about 3 episodes ago

95% filler? Yes
Fun episode? Also yes

[crystal kiln]

Probably the best episode of the season

Like on its own it’s great

But that much filler so close to the end does kinda hurt a bit

[fading raptor]

Would’ve been nice to see Din actually figure out how to wield the darksaber but it makes sense to get it back to Bo with the direction they’re going of reuniting Mandalorians

I keep forgetting how short this season is

[pure lotus]

honestly though

the fact that i got to hear ||Christopher Lloyd say "Count Dooku was a visionary"|| made it worth

2 more

[steel stag]

ya it was nice having Christopher Lloyd and Jack Black in it

[pure lotus]

also apparently the Mon Calamari prince at the beginning was Tom Holland's brother lol

[twilit pine]

watch out for those wrist rockets!

[earnest smelt]

The fucking chase scene

[twilit pine]

hey din

bring your jetpack

dank ferik

You could switch out Din and Bo for Obi-Wan and Anakin here and you'd literally have a Clone Wars episode

axe hasnt

I’m just saying

Maybe Din shouldn’t have been surprised that a droid started running when he punched it

they were "re-certified"

it honestly felt like a writer just played Mass Effect and said "Geth, but the opposite"

[crystal kiln]

Idk what that is but yeah I agree

Tbh the whole mystery took place over like 20 minutes so that scene doesn’t bother me too much

Also axe wasn’t even at the finale fight

[earnest smelt]

Yeah they got that big as ship now

[crystal kiln]

Shouldn’t it have been the other one

Bro stealing all the credit

[earnest smelt]

Mom says it’s my turn on the light cruiser

[pure lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-mood-me-face-gif-7842240

[twilit pine]

it can't destroy stars

you'll need the death star weapon they attached

[crystal kiln]

They keep sidelining grogu and the show is so much better for it

[pure lotus]

can a star destroyer actually destroy stars

[twilit pine]

yes

[pure lotus]

without death star lasers thrown on top

[twilit pine]

idk man

the empire has some weird ass naming

they can't even shoot down the falcon

[earnest smelt]

Pomeranian grogu with lizzo was a vibe

[pure lotus]

using the force to help lizzo cheat at space croquet is the best thing grogu can do right now tbh

[crystal kiln]

I hope he does that stupid flip into a trash compactor next

[twilit pine]

so looking it up, they can destroy a planet, just not wipe it off

then you got the super destroyer

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sith-eternal-final-order-star-destroyers-ships-gif-25032406

then boom

shitty plot

you get a death star gun

they get one

everyone gets one

[nimble bison]

So many thoughts. Fight scene between ||Axe and Bo was fun but odd. They keep going between laser guns, rockets etc. and knives and punches.||

The production values are so weird sometimes. High end backgrounds, CGI, etc. offset by high school play-level makeup/prosthetics and cheap greenscreen staging. Maybe the last is due to COVID restrictions.

Is ||Axe || from any of the Clone Wars series?

[twilit pine]

you don't need to spoil tag

lets see how they wrap up the last two episodes

give me 1 hour episodes gdi

[pure lotus]

yeah Axe first appearance is Mando, when Bo first shows up with them

[shrewd shell]

Guy whos only seen a few TNG episodes:
"Im getting a lot of TNG vibes from this."

Loved the episode but im a sucker for seeing new random shit in star wars and detective stories

uhhh Lizzo not the greatest actress tho lol

[eternal spire]

just happy to see more R-3X droids

The episode pretty much had the tone of a Clone Wars episode

Or an episode of Mandalorian CSI

[carmine flower]

What a good episode

[slow fiber]

Haven't finished the episode but Jack Black and Lizzo feels forced. Their style of acting doesn't feel synergistic with the rest of Mandalorian and Star Wars in general. (still in their scene)

[steel stag]

feels in line with snobby rich people

[slow fiber]

And Christopher Lloyd??

He worked well

[fading raptor]

I mean, it’s Christopher Lloyd. Of course he worked well for the character he played which is an old curmudgeon stuck in the past

[solar copper]

Great episode

[slow fiber]

Nooo don't throw the rolypolies

SO CUTE

[solar copper]

Yeah some filler but it was well done with Howard in directors chair.

My nitpick is Lizzo hologram flower thing looked out of place.

[slow fiber]

I didn't mind that

[solar copper]

It’s a nitpick and I’m well aware of that. But the style of the episode was so on point asides from that.

[slow fiber]

But I did notice it looked odd when Bo walked next to her. Didn't bother rewinding to see if it was bad CGI or my eyes.

Ok, the end scene of them was better

[solar copper]

The end of the episode was amazing.

[slow fiber]

That was a great ending

[slate crow]

^ 100% this. Felt like a weird Power Rangers/Scooby Doo/Criminal Minds gag episode.

[broken pendant]

Same, but I think that's what they may have been going for.
Every group/planet/military that has relied on droids like this has had it blow up in their face, and you've got a planet full of hoighty-toighty Wall-E Axion-dwelling Capital-of-Panem folks glitzing it up. Outside of the Core Worlds, too.
It's shiny, it's "perfect," but I like that they showed the Ugnaughts working their assess off "down below," and the droids that are willing to work because they're TERRIFIED of being replaced/discarded.
May not have been exactly their intention, but damn, it hits.

Now I'm imagining Jack Black in an Imperial uniform, given his character's past service.
Nice.

[slow fiber]

Spin-off???

Jack Black as an Imperial comedy

[primal flume]

Why did din only say my lord and my lady, and not my knight? Grogu is a knight now

[mint quest]

They're like regular Destroyers (the two-stud Battleship pieces) but in the stars.

If this episode is filler, does that mean half of the series is filler?

[pure lotus]

that's the secret

this entire series is filler

Favreau said as much a few weeks ago, there is no endpoint for Mando and Grogu, no single event they're building up to

this can go on as long as they want it to

[foggy tide]

star wars fans when the show that was primarily self-contained one-off episodes continues to have self-contained one-off episodes

[mint quest]

Also those Mandos 1 million percent broke Gideon out of jail, which is going to cause drama in a week.

I just realized I'm going to be in Arizona for the finale!

Welp

[fading raptor]

Out of stock

[hoary comet]

Wow that was fast.

[shrewd shell]

going back in time and showing this image to people after the s1 finale

[gentle spear]

Lizzo and Jack Black run space Epcot wasn't on my bingo card

[earnest smelt]

“What the Jack black???!!
HOLY SHIT LIZZO!!! No way!!!”

“Christopher Lloyd? DOC BROWN?!!!”
“Who’s next in this episode George Lopez???”

[mint quest]

And yet it's one of the more believable scenarios Star Wars has proposed. If Jack Black called me and said he needed a vice president of space, who would I be to refuse?

[solar copper]

Glad someone else thought it was giving Epcot vibes

[earnest smelt]

Check what I posted at midnight z

[solar copper]

Lmao love it.

[mint quest]

Honestly as soon as I saw the monorail I was thinking Epcot. They should have made the some a full sphere.

Although it turned out to be a Polar Express Tube instead of a monorail

[earnest smelt]

Rewatched it with my bf and yeah this episode slaps the whole way through

[vast rover]

BDH does it again

She can’t keep getting away with this!

[eternal spire]

Jiga were you pog facing when Doc showed up

[broken pendant]

"It's you kid, Mando! Something has to be done about your knighted kid!"

[crystal cliff]

I liked this episode

[weary olive]

This could’ve been 5 minutes long lol

I hated the droid sidetrack

Show up fight the guy give the dark saber alright back to mandalore we go

[earnest smelt]

Mando abridged

[solar copper]

It’s filler, theres no denying that. But Mando always does a filler or two tbh, and BDH directs them well. Really you can classify all three of her episodes of Mando as filler episodes in one way or another. Its why for as great as she’s been I do want to see her do a smaller film before throwing her into something big budget movie wise

[weary olive]

Idk too much go here do that for me

[crystal cliff]

That’s been like this whole season 😂

[weary olive]

Fair

I miss the days we spent 3 episodes on a single planet

[solar copper]

Thats never really been Mando’s style.

Like outside of I think a bit in S1, most episodes are one and done on a planet really.

But so much of Mando episodes feel like they are video game quests, in every season.

[past yew]

https://youtu.be/y3RIHnK0_NE

[weary olive]

Early mando was like that

This was straight outta clone wars though I agree lol

[solar copper]

S1 Mando we have two episodes on the planet where he gets Grogu, second one is very much though a video game quest episode with the egg, then we get 4 episodes all on different planets and the final two are back on Navarro, but those are the only two in that feel like a seralized plot/story to them. Mando has always been procedural with an underlying story that develops through the episodes, this is no different really.

[earnest smelt]

I feel like people might just start to fall out of the series

And that’s okay

[solar copper]

Yeah I agree, I just think lets not pretend its changed really. The only thing thats felt off to me so far was episode 2, I think the story they wrote changed slightly and episode 2 fell victim to that.

[weary olive]

Episode 3 was way worse than episode 2

In terms of like mando

[earnest smelt]

[weary olive]

Season 1 and season 2 slapped so hard

[proven hedge]

Just watched this episode and it’s a solid one. Bryce Dallas Howard did a great job, the Grogu stuff was super cute, and the procedural tone was really fun and unique

Most Mando episodes had some sort of mission as a part of the season-long arc, so I don’t think this season has been that much different

[weary olive]

I think I realized what I’m not really liking about this season

There’s too much dialogue

[proven hedge]

They had to basically complete a mission to talk to the Mandalorians, which resulted in Bo-Katan getting the dark saber, so this episode isn’t any different really

[weary olive]

Everyone talks so much

[proven hedge]

I think a balance between silent moments that tell the story through visuals and dialogue is important, and the writing has never been top notch for Mando, but adding in extra dialogue probably makes it more noticeable

[solar copper]

Episode 2, the opening was rushed and then the end was abrupt. Episode 3 I like, but it was a big detour for sure. But I do thing those first three episodes something happened with the story that ended up making things feel strange, it just felt most noticeable in episode 2 to me in that things felt abrupt, the getting of the new droid and the ending of the episode. I think that in the scripting stage they changed Episode 2’s ending to the opening sequence of EP3.

I don’t think any of the episodes are bad this season btw.

[proven hedge]

This season probably needed 10 episodes

[clever sundial]

Great job making magic @proven hedge! Mickey is promoting you to level 4 !

[weary olive]

Episode 3 was nice, just in the wrong show imo

Things were hella abrupt this episode no?

[solar copper]

Nah this episode felt perfect with the ending tbh.

Like idk something about the way episode 2 ended, it didn’t feel right. Just my opinon.

[weary olive]

We just got whiplashed from entering to the cameos to the other cameo to the other cameo to the chase back to the cameo and back to the last cameo and then we fight for the future of mandalore

Idk 🤷

[foggy tide]

How long is the episode

Debating if I watch it tonight if I gotta get up in the morning

Trying to fix my sleep schedule to not be 2-3 AM

[hoary comet]

45 minutes

[foggy tide]

Before credits?

[hoary comet]

Total listed so maybe 40 before.

[foggy tide]

Alright

I gotta pack anyway so I’ll make it work

[solar copper]

I did not feel any sorta whiplash tbh. To which I give a lot of credit to BDH, because I think she keeps it from feeling like that to me.

[earnest smelt]

Is it really a cameo or just guest casting?

Lizzo and jack black being cast is like any other celebrity actor in this series.

Carl weathers, bill burr, ming-na wen and so on

[solar copper]

I’d call this stunt casting tbh, I would say that basically all three of these were more instantly recognizable especially Black and Lloyd.

[weary olive]

Yeah definitely not the same as Carl weathers

[solar copper]

He’s a series regular essentially I’d say.

[weary olive]

Bill burr is a good similarity although his character was actually useful

[shrewd shell]

i think its cause its 3 in one episode instead of spread out

[weary olive]

They were quest givers

And the target

[shrewd shell]

Lizzo's performance in the episode wasnt good imo

[solar copper]

Honestly, yes but also no. Idk I never was a fan of his character

[shrewd shell]

the 2 bill burr episodes are my favorite of Mando

[solar copper]

Really? I think they are two of my least favorites

[shrewd shell]

theyre both great heist episodes

[foggy tide]

Lizzo 100% just wanted to hold the baby

She added that

[shrewd shell]

Mando hunting down the others in the prison episode is one of my favorite sequences

[solar copper]

His second episode is good, the first one is absolutely I think my least favorite of the show.

[shrewd shell]

my least fav episode was The Gunslinger, but its probably a couple from this season

i kinda felt the show was spinning its wheels for the first half of this season

shouldve put the 2 BoBF ep at the beginning of this season and condense 1-4 into 2-3 episodes

or just make s3 a little longer

[solar copper]

I feel like if anything make it longer yeah. Idk there is something different about the way they are doing things this season, but not significantly. It does feel like the overarching retaking mandalore story feels more forced than the Grogu story lines of S1 &2.

[shrewd shell]

at this rate idk if we'll even get to mandalore this season

thats why im worried

[solar copper]

I think thats the thing, things feel slightly more forced and theres this need to have some moving forward of the plot line each episode usually at the end.

[shrewd shell]

id rather spend 3 episodes taking back mandalore than dealing with the cult a bunch on the other planet

I will say tho this episode brought back Din's dislike of droids which has been absent for a while. Im glad to see that trait back cause imo Din has been pretty boring for me recently

[solar copper]

I feel like if the next two aren’t mandalore focused idk what they are, its either mandalore or they are battling Moff Gideon again. Maybe both.

[shrewd shell]

ill be a little upset if we barely get Mandalore stuff
