Popular Post Broke as a Joke Posted December 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2020 What I like is that the people in charge actually have thought this storyline out and are following through with what is needed to be seen and done. Night and day from the sequel trilogy. People say that Star Wars saved Marvel Comics back in 1977, well The Mandalorian has saved Star Wars 40+ years later. I'm really impressed.

valiantman Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) When you think about how many hours of "screen time" there are for each of the Star Wars characters - especially if you don't count the animations - the Mandalorian story is easily becoming one of the highest totals for live action characters. Chewbacca has 9 movies - but how much screen time? Luke only has about 4 movies and some cameos. There aren't many non-Mandalorian scenes in the two seasons.

Xenosmilus Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 The thing that I don't get... Spoiler Why didn't Boba Fett just get his armer back from Cobb Vanth on Tatooine? Instead he watches Mando from a far and then tracks him across the galaxy. Doesn't really make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he could have taken him by himself. Spoiler Plus Cobb had backup. Fett would have been on his turf. He had the element of surprise and leverage here. If it wasn’t for the empire’s attack, he may not have ended up with it. Edited December 5, 2020 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 What an episode. Spoiler Mando is putting together a posse. Sabine is supposed to show up this season, I believe. Wonder if this is how that happens. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Fett took out like half of those Storm Troopers with a Sand Peoples staff. Seems like he could have taken out Cobb pretty easy but I'm not well versed in SW EU so I don't know.

Cobb had the armor and knew how to use it. Also, Ewoks took out stormtroopers...Ewoks. The Empire got complacent when there was no real threat and shut down the cloning program. Basically, relegating the clones to Jedi hunting and serving in the Emperor’s Imperial Guard. Probably wasn’t the wisest move by the Empire. Spoiler Boba also said that he’s a simple man and not looking to call attention to himself. Taking on Cobb would have caused a lot of undue attention to follow him. Also, Boba didn’t even attempt to mess with Mando armorless. He knew he didn’t stand a chance. Edited December 5, 2020 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting from something I just read but sums it up perfectly. “How do you top Timothy Olyphant? Introduce Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan and tease Ahsoka. How do you top Bo-Katan? Reveal Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, divulge Grogu’s name, and mention Grand Admiral Thrawn. And how do you top—or at least rival—that trifecta? Spoiler Bring back Boba Fett and the Slave I, put Grogu in Imperial custody for the first time this season, and have him come face to face with Gideon while he’s holding the Darksaber. How do you follow that? Man, I don’t know. But I can’t wait to watch Favreau and Dave Filoni try” bentbryan, media_junkie and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 What a solid episode. Yet short so you would think it wouldn't be worth it. But it is! What a fantastic grouping of characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakeintheashes Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Anybody think those butterflies at the seeing stone symbolize anything or anyone? I have no idea who or what, but with all the callbacks and allusions to things, there’s a chance they aren’t just there because they look nice.

I would assume those butterflies can sense Jedi, since several showed up. Grogu likely wanted them and may have "flipped the switch" on the stone by reaching out with the Force to the butterflies. Once the stone got started, he was meditating like it was controlling him as much as he was controlling it. Just realized Grogu could be a girl for all we know. awakeintheashes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
