She's like his mom. "This is the way" is just Mando speak for "you're a big boy now, you can figure this stuff out on your own."

Guess you should have thought of that before you needed to atone, hmmmmmmm?”

Space Racist posted:I love how this episode continued the tradition of everything in the Mandalorian being a video game. Yep, I kept laughing as I recognized these exact same video game beats as the episode progressed. And Fallen Order is already canon in the new EU, if I remember right. I don't know if they have an overarching plan yet, but it has several tie-ins to existing canon like Saw Gerrera, Bracca, K security droids, and Ilum. I think so far the only thing taken FROM the game and put into canon media (besides BD) is Bracca, but Cal's lightsaber was an option in a fan vote for a Galaxy's Edge replica.

All new books, comics, and video games are canon unless they've been retconned since or are branded to imply non-canon status like LEGO and Visions.

He has to GTFO before he realises that he's the boss now and takes what's left of her power away. Yeah somehow I don't think a fundamentalist sect that began by splitting off from another fundamentalist sect when they gained power and weren't fundamentalist enough is going to really care about what Mandalore thinks, if he's not fundamentalist enough. They'd just understand him as being a pretender to the title.

The Armorer is a person has the skills to forge Beskar into wearable blaster/Lightersaber-proof armor. If she cared about conventional wealth/power she could write her own ticket anywhere in the galaxy. I think this is much more about pushing Mando into fulfilling what she sees as his destiny to unite the Mandalorians under the aegis of The Way.

Lol that the best episode of BoBF so far is the one that was just a Mandalorian Season 2->3 interlude. I don't dislike this show, particularly, but Boba is really giving off substitute teacher vibes in all his mobster scenes.

It feels really convenient that every time he has almost been outmatched by assassins, the people trying to kill him simply didn't try to kill him earlier before he could hire anybody I'm really enjoying it and my first post about it has to be a nitpick just because there's so much that I liked that it'd feel like work to express all of it. I liked the Tusken Raider scenes in episode two

Arc Hammer posted:This is why Star Wars: The Show would be a better answer than fifteen miniseries. Just switch between storylines on a rotation. It's also a case where I think it allows marketing to work. The Clone Wars didn't grab me when it aired. Each year starwars.com promoted "a new season" but that didn't entice me to try it again. However, there's a greater chance I would have checked in if I heard it promoted as arc names. Hearing "The Clone Wars: The Siege of Mandalore" would have tweaked me to react with something like "Oh wow, Boba and Jango are Mandalorians and maybe by extension the clones? What's this about?" And conversely, those that haven't liked The Book Of Boba Fett would likely be more open to any other upcoming series with their own names rather than thinking "Yeah this Star Wars Show sucked; I'm out!"

Jose Oquendo posted:I'm sure this is something that gets addressed. In his season 3 journey he could end up with a bigger ship but he could hang on to the starfighter for when it's needed. Just freeze'em in carbonite and the N1 can tow them safely through space or he can jusy collect heads. I love that they specifically bring up that the spear can block a lightsaber and then forge what we're all assuming is chainmail for Grogu. Obviously setting up Grogu ==== the sole surviving student of the Ben Solo massacre

TLJ is the high water mark in a trilogy we never got to see. Much like the House of Mummies Pt 2 (episodes 1 and 3 don’t exist) of Venture Bros.

I'm going to politely disagree. The Star wars prequels have a ton of faults but the one thing they did is they were original. Too original in some cases.

shades of eternity posted:I'm going to politely disagree. There was a good core there, I agree. It’s hard for me to think about the prequels without immediately going to the Clone Wars and feeling good about it, so Filoni did some heavy lifting there. Also, Jar Jar was the first near fully-CGI character. It was a slow crawl from there to Thanos, but they made it.

Also the world they built is a good setting for interesting side stories. I can’t bring myself to ever re-watch the sequel trilogy though and I don’t know what the gently caress you do with the New Order or whatever.

You should probably watch the Gallery Episode on it since it wasn't put in for that reason at all. Everyone just legit wanted to have Luke Skywalker at the peak of his Jedi Knight skill level kick some fuckin robot rear end on screen.

My favorite part of TLJ is when the heroes leave the epic space chase because it's getting boring so they go have a side adventure on casino world where they run into Benico Del Toro and he tells them that, actually, the military industrial complex and the one percent have been behind everything all along. Then everyone learns a special lesson about how alien horse dog racing is morally wrong. Then they return to the movie for a battle on not-hoth. It's truly visionary.
