Star Wars Megathread

[Syt]

If you watched the first two season, you have the worst behind you.

It picks up considerably IMHO in season 3+4 and seasons 5-7 are amazing. The finale was a big emotional payoff.

I really liked the episode, but what that heck has Boba Fett been doing the past 4 or 5 years? He probably knew where his armor was. He still had his ship. Was he just chilling? His sand people weapons seem to indicate he spent time on Tatooine. Maybe he pulled a Maul and turned feral, somehow surviving in the Sarlacc until it was eaten by the Krayt dragon? I expect/hope we'll get some exposition in the next episode, because it seems like a big gap.

I suppose he spent some time healing, trying to find his armor, than decided against attacking the Marshall head on, so he recruited the lady to help, patched her up, got ready to move on the Marshall, but then Mando comes along and take it off Tatooine.

I'm not really sure how he tracked him to Trython.  Only Ashoka would know where he went.  Unless he knows about Gogru from his own investigation and deduced from whom he met last week that he'd be go to Trython?

So what's next? A prison break, and then taking (or trying to take) the child back? I'm somewhat expecting them to follow the Rebels formula a bit where each season finale raised the stakes and escalated the story and scope.

I hope Moff Gideon has a chance to look at that beskar spear from very close

A fight with the spear and Darksaber would be nice

There was one moment I rolled my eyes at, when the E-Web shoots at Fennec, and she runs on top of the rocks instead of, you know - BEHIND THEM

She knew how bad they were at shooting moving targets, she figured it was safer on the rocks than jumping down

Oh, and Mando trying to pick up Grogo from the Force force field (heh) and getting repulsed every time. I admire his tenacity, but dude - get a hint.

if you don't succeed at first, try and try and try again

I'm not sure if I can unsee this ... 

[Eddie Teach]

Not sure what you're seeing.

[bogh]

Also, Fett looks like he could use some time on the threadmill...

Temuera Morissons career has been mostly local NZ fare and playing the occasional goof in a supporting role. He ain't no action hero and rarely looks super healthy.

When he was laying into the storm troopers using his Sand People stick there was fair bit of traditional Maori combat moves going on - including the eye and facial movements. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

I don't mind his weight gain much. Robert Rodriguez made him look like a beast. Reminded me of wrestlers like Bam Bam Bigelow, or Vader, who were not exactly super athletic looking but delivered convincing performances in the ring. Especially Vader, with his gut, and at 6'5 and over 400 lbs/200 kg doing moonsaults from the top rope and shit.

By the way, in universe, Bo-Katan would be about 10 years older than Boba Fett.





IRL, Temuera Morrison is about 20 years older than Katee Sackhoff.

Also, it's kind of funny that this double page from a comic was my main/only source of knowledge about Mandalorians for me in the 80s when I was a teen.

Imperfections in the cloning process plus being in a Sarlacc Pit Monster? Ireally need to watch this show. Everyone is saying I'm going to lose my Star Wars fan card. 

[Eddie Teach]

Are all the human looking characters supposed to be the same species?

[Syt]

I think so?

Personally, I think Boba just had a really bad time with that Sarlacc and afterwards.

In star wars not necessarily.

Sarlacc Pit Monster and what might have come after, or before, since we never saw his adult face ;)He was a non quick-aging clone, if you recall Episode II.
