I think I had built up the idea of Mace Windu coming back that I was just bummed when it was Luke. Seems like it was the easiest route they could go. I was also really hoping for the Force ghost of Anakin to show up and tell them to just walk away from the Force and try to live a normal life. I don't know where they go from here. I can't imagine this showing continuing without Grogu, but I also have no desire to see any Jedi bullshit or training. I feel like any attempt to get Grogu back with Mando is going to be convoluted and completely negate this awful Luke ending. I guess I just don't understand why they keep bringing these characters back. It made me think of professional wrestling. They keep dragging these old dudes out that are in their 50's, 60's, and even older, because the product sucks, they're losing fans, and they haven't built up any stars. Star Wars doesn't have that problem at all, though. Mandalorian is a hit without a single OT character being involved, so it really does come down to fan service. Another thing I hated is that, if you were a brand new viewer and knew nothing about Star Wars, you could watch Mandalorian and be totally fine. Sure, you'd miss little things, but I compare that to watching the Harry Potter movies without reading the books. You're still fine. But now with Luke, in the context of The Mandalorian, they've brought in some random dude, who doesn't even tell them his loving name or explain who he is or what he wants, and then takes this kid away. ALSO, it's loving dumb that Luke looks exactly like he did in RotJ, when it's been, what, seven years?

This bugged me as well but I figure you could logic it away as a way to deploy them in space or whatever. But they seemed way less menacing how easily they got sucked out. And lol at the only resource they have to open locked doors is robot punch.

Neo Rasa posted:It's where they're deployed from. To where? Space? They're droids, not spaceships. And it's a battle cruiser, not a landing ship, and that wasn't a docking mechanism it was a door. I'm being a big ol' Negative Nancy here but everything about those droids sucked. The design, the door punching, how many of them there were, how easily they were dispatched, how goofy they looked flying through space, all of it. Luke destroying the droids was cool in the same way as Vader at the end of Rogue One—neat in a vacuum, but really just nostalgia bait showing them to be universe-breakingly overpowered in a moment that feels totally disconnected from the rest of the narrative and is there only as an attempt to legitimize a franchise entry. That was not the parallel they wanted to draw between the two sequences, I'm thinking.

lol of all the dumb complaints People in actual real life sometimes don't look any different after a decade. There is an actual example on the show with Ming-Na. Also if you're watching something Star Wars and you don't know who Luke is, you're probably in the smallest of minorities. And even then that would just lead to "let's watch the original trilogy and find out who this is."

The droids punching is the same as the Empire using walkers instead of hover-tanks: it’s a show of force designed to frighten and demoralize your enemies.

Deepfake Luke looked a little off because obviously the technology isn't perfect but my biggest issue with him is that his cloak looks way too nice and new. Weather that poo poo a bit!feedmyleg posted:To where? Space? They're droids, not spaceships. And it's a battle cruiser, not a landing ship, and that wasn't a docking mechanism it was a door. I mean, they can fly in atmo and presumably deployed out of the ship when they came and kidnapped Grogu initially.

The stormtroopers falling off the gantry and just into the freezing void of space reminded me of how much the Empire engineers designed these things to be absolute death traps. Robot Chicken really nailed it with the "They said if they put in handrails people would be leaning on them all the time instead of working"

It wouldn’t be the Internet without hate posts over one of the single greatest moments in Star Wars history. Maybe because I’m from the OT generation, but if you didn’t enjoy that then you can’t enjoy anything. I was on the edge of my seat from the point the x-wing showed up.

I enjoyed this episode. I’m excited to see where this show goes next rather than being worried about it. I would kind of like to know whether Book of Boba Fett is its own thing or season 3 of this show. Maybe I’m just credible but I think they did a great job with CG Luke. It’s a bit uncanny but the whole sequence with him is uncanny from start to finish. A magic man walks into a spaceship and serenely smashes 100 robots with a laser beam and announces himself and walks out with a baby. I didn’t have a huge problem with it in Rise of Skywalker either tbh. The technology may not be much better than in Rogue One but it’s much more judiciously used.

The DT droid bay was never part of the original design for the cruiser, I imagine. It was probably just some random cargo bay that happened to have an external door that they refitted to hold the dark troopers.
