OPTIMUS124 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, Hawkingbird said: The characters have been more than cameos and have served to push the story of the new characters forward. Fioni and favreau is pulling a JJ Abrams here. I've honestly only been enamored with one piece of Abrams work (no, it is not of this franchise). I think that was some of the charm of "The Mandalorian". It was more the aesthetic of the universe than bringing all of the universe into it. Like I said, I'm for it if we get them for impact. I really do wonder if the show was "recut" to include some of the things mentioned. The one at the end of the episode was frankly a chef's kiss. Tied to the character and is part of the overall motif of what the show seemed like it was always going for. DarkSakul and Hecatom 2 Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Honestly I'm not complaining, cuz Boba himself is kinda boring, they really need to do something interesting with him soon to justify this spinoff.

Darc_Requiem Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 I saw the finale before I went to work this morning. Spoiler It didn't feel it was good as the past two episodes. However, I think it's the best Boba Fett episode of The Book Of Boba Fett if that make sense. Boba did some badass shit. Honestly my favorite Boba moment was when he sent the Twilek out to negotiate. It's was cold and curse the Pikes for not smoking his annoying ass. Grogu shows up, unsurprisingly, but he had a couple cool moments. The coolest being saving daddy Djin from the droid. Djin Djarin was well Djin Djarin. Cad Bane died was still a bad ass. Boba got saved by his armor and his Tusken Gaffi Stick training. Black Krsstan was a damned wookie terminator. It's not Agents of Shield but Ming Na is still the cavalry. There is an after credits scene FYI. Wellman 1 Quote Link to comment
Hecatom Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 19 hours ago, iStu X said: That meme is fucking dumb because 2 things (actually more) 1) Most people who have pointed out how SW became political don't have a problem with Finn, most actually lament that he was wasted since the impression many had was that he was going to be a main character, a ex storm troopper becoming a jedi, something that many people thought it would have been cool. 2) There is a big difference with a work having political themes and being political. Like the Xmen of old vs the actual story lines, there is a clear shift on how the political themes on the books are portrayed. Let alone trying to make it seem like he has a problem with Finn which he never had. If anything the problem many had is that Disney made a huge deal of casting Boyega as Finn just to waste his talent and his character as nothing more than a comic relief and a cheerleader for Rey.

There is an after credits scene FYI. Spoiler I am 100% convinced that the plot point for Mando season 3 will be Grogu becoming both a Mandalorian and a Jedi, and that all of this was a ploy of Luke to make it happen. Both Feloni and Favreu grew up with the Expanded Universe, where Luke wasn't attached to the old teachings of the Jedi because is not what he learn and he knows that it was in part what lead to the problems. I can see Luke doing this because he knows that letting Grogu stay at this moment would lead to disaster for both, so the best is to allow Grogu to return to Mando and grew more so he can return to him when he is ready. Plus, i want to think that they eventually introduce Mara Jade Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment

Hawkingbird Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Spoiler I don't think Boba got the consent of the guy he wants to leave in charge if he wants to rule. Running a desert town in the middle of nowhere is not the same as running a city. Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) It's wild how I never cared much for Star Wars, but somehow Rogue One and The Mandalorian (and Boba to a lesser extent) got me hooked as a casual. That's a sign of good writing if you can get someone like me with limited experience of the franchise to tune in. Something about the gritty western like vibe of those movies/shows call to me. Now I'll probably tune in to Obi Wan and Oshoka just due to good faith, I actually am looking forward to more Star Wars in the future as opposed to generally dismissing it Edited February 12, 2022 by HD-Man DangerousJ and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

The ST looks like real fights. Real struggles and hits that look hard. The lightsaber fights are one of the STs stronger points imo.
