If the show was more realistic, he'd hoard all of them and then not use them in the last fight.

I don't mind him firing the birds.

I do mind him firing his hookshot at the guy's neck when above him. Like whats your plan there Mando, you trying to strangle him to death? Don't a lot of Blasters have stun settings anyway? Shoot him with that!

(I mean I get it, if he did we wouldn't have a fightscene... actually hang on a minute, he actually doesn't carry a stunner, or he wouldn't have had that standoff with the security officer before. Huh. Wouldve thought a bounty hunter would have those).

Aren’t stunners/phasers a Star Trek thing? Doesn’t Star Wars just use laser guns?

The only other time stun shots show up in the films is when Leia stuns Poe in TLJ; but it's fairly common in the cartoons and novels.

He'd probably shrug off the stun setting like a bull on pcp.

Gotta comment on the Filoni episode: it was what I expected. Filoni is awful and what he likes about SW is what I hate. I'm glad the Canjun F is able to contain the Dago F because wow.

Like look at Rebels. First season: good, rough but has promise. Everything after that is a slide down to awful town with some detours. Notable, sure. Maul v Ben is the second or third best lightsaber fight. Maybe even the best. But that doesn't make up for poo poo like, well, Maul.

Not in the movies, but it's used to great effect in The Clone Wars in the episode where Ahsoka is framed for murder.

Well at least this thread will be different. Instead of reading some goon’s 10 page essay on why the Mandolorian sucks due to The Last Jedi being garbage, it will be a 10 page essay on why the Mandolorian sucks due to the Rise of Skywalker being garbage.

Observation I had in response to something in the mock thread:

I thought the way the prison ship worked and Cara Dunes comments about the mop up drawing down did more heavy lifting on the world building of how the New Republic dismisses of the FO as just another "fringe warlord cosplaying empire" threat in TFA than they bothered to give us in the movie.

5 years after Endor they're drawn down to the point where they staff a ship full of dangerous prisoners, including at least one uniformed Imperial die-hard officer, with one guy with a panic button and a bunch of robots.

25 more years they would be tired enough of all these Star Wars to say "sure, sure, senator leia, the first order out in the middle of nowhere is building a super weapon and isn't just another pissant german documentarian with a handful of grubby 60 year old stormtroopers. We'll send it to the defense subcommittee for investigation. Anyway moving on to space-wheat subsidies for Naboo...."

That's what I like about it too but if the rumors are true about the tie in between the new movie and Mandalorian (potentially big spoiler) the remnants of the empire used the force power drained from baby yoda by those scientists to resurrect the emperor boy that's gonna be dumb as hell

It'd also be another reason to put out the next episode ahead of the movie so I guess we'll see very shortly.
