I remember having to jumpstart a car and my dad saying don't let the wires touch, so of course I immediately turned around and went "What?" and clacked the cable heads together. Ahaha. Same thing happened to me. I don't know how young I was, but it scared the poo poo out of me so badly I refused to touch jumper cables again until I was fifteen or sixteen.

I like that the child is expanding his palette for snacks. Maybe he'll stay away from people's last known eggs now that he can just enjoy a tasty macaron.

Jerkface posted:I know this kinda topic has been beaten to death, but I just watched the episode... and this was a fun episode but god drat has Gina Carrano ruined Cara Dune for me. I liked Cara Dune a lot in S1 and was happy Gina got to play a cool character like that in star wars. Bruiser-archetype female commando? Hell yea. Now though... I hope whatever her involvement is in S2 is the end of it. Let the character of Cara Dune have a nice resolution and gently caress off forever. I'm not seeign what everyone else is seeing. like yeah her acting is a little worse than it was in season 1 but it's not enough to completely ruin the character for me

Especially being so cavalier about covid and being disrespectful to trans folk. As I've gotten older my ability to just ignore that stuff has decreased. Annoys me greatly if any sports team I cheer for signs dickheads.

I think she was more huffy about the Clone Wars TV show stuff. Mando has been pulling a lot of stuff from her writing, most notably Beskar itself. She was definitely one of the more aggressively assholish authors but the fact that she still brings up such vitriol a decade later is impressive. Fun episode. First episode was KOTOR and this one was straight up Dark Forces. I also really liked the use of the Resistance Theme when Mr. Kim was trying to recruit Cara back into the New Republic. It's pretty understandable how little support the Resistance got from locals given that the New Republic has all but abandoned the Outer Rim and the Empire is still active. It's not like the First Order sprang up out of nothing. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Nov 21, 2020 |

I was almost expecting the two X wing guys to swoop in and save the day. That canyon chase was really fun. And fishboy came back, I was scared he was gonna get murked halfway through. The scientist mentioned M something or other and I'm assuming 'Midiclorians'? Buuuuuut don't those critters live in most organisms not just force sensitive ones?

Excellent to see the light cruiser, and a gunship version of the troop carrier (it had sponsoned guns on the side instead of the troop pulpits--which they didn't use) I couldn't help but notice some voice clips directly lifted from the movies for the trooper chatter. ("all right, men, load your weapons" and some others) I can't tell if they're implying the midichlorian transfusion process was intended for Gideon, or for the super(Dark)trooper project.

Thing is about the Imperial remnants is that you can't operate something like a full sized Star Destroyer without the backing of a military-industrial complex, and it's made clear that a lot of remnants have lost their discipline and organisation, unless you have a lunatic like Gideon in charge anyway enforcing it. Has been made clear meanwhile that the New Republic does have enough organisation to bring a squadron of X-Wings down on your rear end at short notice.

Maybe the Dark Troopers are his side project, a killer droid army, to do his bidding since actual Stormtroopers are in low availability.

If all they've got is a speeder, some hand weapons, and a crappy Republic era gunship, then you don't need a fleet of Sith Star Destroyers with Death Star cannons for the Empire to be scary. You just need a handful of TIEs and an Arquitens. Moff Gideon doesn't need to threaten the whole galaxy to be dangerous, he just needs to threaten the Mando and the Child. Sometimes less IS more.

I was just saying that following the watch list that cuts out some of the weaker bits and makes the story more linear, the show is good fun and my fist impression of it was unfair. I meant to backtrack on how dismissive I've been of TCW in the past. I didn't intend to sound like I was still bitching. Don't worry!! I probably missed the point too. And yeah, tbh the first episodes it was kinda cringy but I had to remind myself that it was a children's cartoon and to just enjoy it. I haven't watched Clone Wars, but after seeing little clips about Darth Maul I'm hella interested.

Clone Wars starts rough and the movie is horrible, but it becomes genuinely great and the last few seasons are some of the best Star Wars media around. Except for The Bad Batch, those guys are loving lame and I can’t believe they’re getting their own show.

I'm actually more excited about the Dark Troopers than Ahsoka (I loving hate grey jedi and most other force spinoffs - though Ahsoka had her occasional decent moment). That said, I think most people in this thread are misreading the point of the 'cloning vats'. Those aren't for a new Snoke or Palpatine or whatever - they are for the next Dark Trooper wave. Think of it as a mash up between the ones in Dark Forces and the later legends comics - Phase 1 is probably droid in armor. Phase 2 is probably enhanced (clone?) soldiers in armor. Phase 3 is probably Phase 2 but on Jedi Super Soldier Serum - enhanced reflexes and endurance and possibly some minor to moderate force tricks. Remember, they blew up a lab, not a production facility. Gideon's probably hidden that away at his main base on some other planet. That said, clones will take too long to mature (even using a 1 year Spaarta chamber) so they might not even be cloning chambers exactly but science/metamorphasis pods. And I agree with an earlier post that Gideon most certainly will take the Jedi Super Soldier Serum himself before whatever final battle he has in the next couple seasons.
