Where kitties raise dragons in the world's largest mall.
K generally a likable episode, but that bow was seriously dumb.

I understand the meta reasons for it (merchandising and not wanting to arm children), but from a story standpoint, it made no sense.

When has the bad batch used a bow of that sort?

The reason Ezra used a sling, to begin with, is that what he had to work with before he met the crew and he was pretty good with it, plus he upgraded to a lightsaber within the season.

Same with Zeb. He gets the signature weapon because he was trained as an honor guard and for all his comic relief, he's really good with it.

but why wouldn't you give them a blaster instead of a weapon that she can barely draw?

Echo give her a blaster like the rest of them.

It was good enough for Luke to begin with, so its good enough for her.

Because she looted it herself in the previous episode.

Because she chose that weapon for herself, and each member of the Bad Batch chooses how they want to fight and what their weapon is. They are a team of individuals.

Yet another piece of crew swag with Season 1 on it. I know it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but drat it would be cool if they had just decided to make this an ongoing show instead of just a miniseries.

No reason they won’t if it’s popular enough. I think it only got 4 episodes cause of uncertainty due to Covid.

Doesn't the fact that it says "Season 1" more imply that there could be a "Season 2" than the opposite?

I would love the Continuing Adventures of Boba and Fennec. Her character also showed up in a recent episode of Bad Batch and was great there, too.

Still, I'd take this guy's word on stuff over 90% of other people "reporting" stuff on Twitter about Star Wars. How many times has Kathleen Kennedy been fired this week? I've lost count.

Unless I'm missing something that doesn't come off as the guy reporting a scoop. If anything, the wording implies he knows there's gently caress all, but just wants to clarify how little gently caress all is.

He's too busy going scorched earth on all his Fandom Menace ex-buddies because they've all finally realized his Nazi rear end has been telling the same lies since 2016 and has never been right once. You hate to see it.


Anyways, I was thinking and given the general implied trajectory of Din's arc post-Baby Yoda and all the chicanery with Season 3 that everyone in the press is under embargo from talking about by Disney, it would not surprise me in the slightest if the show took a page from Falcon and the Winter Soldier and just up and changed its title at some point during or at the end of Season 3, going from The Mandalorian to The Mandalore.

Actually agree. The whole show was Mando trying to find a way to drop off BaeYo at daycare and that’s been resolved satisfyingly. I don’t really see what else can (or needs to) be done without completely retooling the premise or throwing in a time skip.

But the Star Wars thread is subtitled “new trilogies until you’re dust” for a reason.

Season 3 at this point kind of HAS to be "Who gets to be the Mandalore now?" because Dave Filoni couldn't leave well enough alone and had to drag Bo-Katan and the Darksaber into his episodic Samurai Jack, But In Space show.

Well we don’t know where Sabine is and SOMEBODY needs to give Din’s armor a makeover. So there’s that subplot, too.

I so wanted Dinn to wake up one day to find Grogu had painted all over his armour.

Just to see him go into a deadly situation with drawings of little happy frogs and cheerful vaporised Jawas all over him.

It’s hilarious that the Mandalorian has made it canon that Yoda’s species retain knowledge at an incredibly slow rate so even though they live for hundreds of years, they’re still dumb as poo poo.
