Robot Style posted:Also being the home of Luke "Destroyed the Death Star, killed Vader and the Emperor (as far as anyone knows)" Skywalker is probably good for tourism, or at least something the Republic would want to keep an eye on. Tatooine becoming a Skywalker-themed tourist trap is the most Disney thing ever.

Sammus posted:And Mandalor was neutral through the clone wars. It took Death Watch and a Sith Lord to drag the glorious thriving mandalorian nation into the war, and I doubt they’ll be rushing to fight besides anyone in the future. If you ever read up on Mandalore history, it's 50% them loving themselves and 50% them teaming up with the Sith and being hosed. But surely, this time the Sith won't pull the football away when we try to kick it!

I enjoyed the fact that the Armorer reminded us that the Galactic Empire only lasted 20 years, compared to 10,000 years of Mandalorians. It's a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.

Also, the main source for Tatooine being nowhere is pretty much the Archetype Whiny Teenager Luke. The place has a functional economy, but not self contained and self sufficient. Someone imported his Skyhopper. There's going to be commercial travel. Heck, Luke tried to get Obi-Wan to take the space bus at first.

The entire lifespan of the Galactic Empire was basically just Sheev Palpatine's Wild Weekend Coke Bender, as far as the Mandalorians are concerned.

Sammus posted:New boss same as the old boss. Mayfeld's entire talk in The Believer is about how the New Republic has failed to make the galaxy much safer. The Empire is still out there, people are still exploited, and it doesn't matter if it's an X-Wing or a Tie Fighter on your rear end, it's still the government. And Mandalorians have been around forever. 10,000 years is going back nearly to the original Taung colonists after their exile from Coruscant during the war with prehistoric humans.

stev posted:Does Boba even know/care about all that Mando poo poo? I thought he just took his dad's cool armour when he died. Wasn't Jango kicked out of being a Mandalorian by Satine's government for being from Concord Dawn and so connected to Death Watch? Literally every surviving Mandalorian would have been disowned for the same reason. I guess Boba isn't really a Mandalorian, because he has no connection to the culture, but that's not really due to Jango himself being disowned.

You know, sometimes I wish I did a little more with my life instead of hanging out in front of places fixing space ships and poo poo. Like, maybe be an animal doctor. Why not me? I like seals and poo poo. Or maybe an astronaut. Yeah. Like, be the first motherfucker to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and gently caress it. And people'd be like, "There she goes. Homegirl hosed a Jawa once."

That DICK! posted:The best talky parts of Mando/Boba are when they slow down and examine Mandalorian culture through unreliable narrators, so the biggest disappointment with Boba Fett for me is that he hasn't really challenged it. If you got ol' Din Djarin in the middle of a Mandalorian political axis, and Bo Katan's all about passion and individualism on the one end while the Armorer's all about duty and collectivism on the other, I feel like Boba should represent a third wheel that's all about wearing cool armor, not giving a poo poo, and being really good at killing people. The kinda guy who would 'yeah ok' at the Darksaber lore being explained and then shoot its owner in the back of the head while they were sleeping cause its cool as hell and probably would sell for a lot of money.

BrianWilly posted:It feels like more could have been made from that big spear than just Grogu's little gift bag. Where'd the rest of it go? Eh, I buy it. With the empire gone it's probably a free for all for commerce. Also that spaceliner just landed in an open field. Unlike our mass transit systems it doesn't look like starships need a huge amount of infrastructure to start new lines.

I love how this episode continued the tradition of everything in the Mandalorian being a video game. “Time to go turn in the ‘Deliver Grogu’ quest, while I’m here I need to level my Swordsmanship skill and also have the merchant craft my spear into companion armor. Okay, now that that’s done, time for this sidequest on Tattooine to regain fast travel ability.” Speaking of games, there’s no way they would include a BD droid in this episode without also having plans for a Cal Kestis appearance somewhere in the new EU, right?

Rewatching some Clone Wars after this episode, it makes me wonder if this could be a peek into a larger live action show strategy where all of them have a much more organic relationship than just being spinoffs of each other. Clone Wars had such an incredible structure with its min-arcs serving the larger vision, and if the live-action shows were to each allow for self-contained one-off adventures where characters jump in and out of each others stories like characters do in Clone Wars arcs would be fantastic. Unlikely since that's trying to extrapolate a lot from a little, but it would be a very cool way forward for these shows.

Meanwhile Din becomes the Mandalore and hires Grand Admiral Thrawn as his Defense Secretary. Upon hearing that, the First Order shits itself and stays way the gently caress away from Mandalore.

This is why Star Wars: The Show would be a better answer than fifteen miniseries. Just switch between storylines on a rotation.

Space Racist posted:I love how this episode continued the tradition of everything in the Mandalorian being a video game. Friends and I have discussed this and it works so well. It's genre fiction and so it's not going to be all character development all the time. But you don't notice as much if there's also skill and equipment development mixed in. Anyone who's ever enjoyed a videogame or D&D campaign saw something so familiar and relatable in Din completing his armor set.

Boba TV show isn't that great, so they plopped a Mando episode right in the middle? That was weird. Ep was really good though, but the helmet thing is super odd and jarring. "Oh hey you've spent years living the Mando way and earned all your Beskar blah blah blah. Oh wait, you took your helmet off once? You're cast out of the Mando order, now get the gently caress out." Wait what? Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Ok that's fine, but when you have 3 remaining members of your order, maybe don't cast 33% of them off because they took off their hat once. That was stupid.
