In seasons 1 and 2, Dinn had this great half-cape that was made out of a real textile and had been aged by a prop person that knew what they were doing. It just looked good and was a nice mixed-material clash with his armor. Season 3? Dinn is inexplicably wearing a brown polyester bed sheet somebody took plinking sheers to. They made it worse for no good reason and I could notice. That's emblematic of most of season 3.

The quality of a Star Wars show is indicated by its capes.

Mando has one cape that gets a bad downgrade.

Andor has several capes that get better as time goes on.

Kenobi has a Vader cape.

Boba Fett had the bad Mando Cape.

E: Skeleton Crew should have had capes has an owlcat with a cape.

Here's the thing: a cape speaks for itself. If they hadn't written that line where Han is like "wow Lando has a lot of capes!" it would have been a better sight gag. Just Lando wearing a different cape in every single scene with nobody commenting on it.

I did like the "custom piece" line. Of course Lando is getting bespoke capes!

There was a rumor going around before season 2 premiered that production was building more yoda-people puppets. I thought it would have made more sense for other yoda aliens to show up, say something like "hey, we're from an ultra secret conclave of our race that's been around for millennia, no one has ever known about, and will never be discovered. Anyway, we can take the child and raise him with his own people." Doing this would have meant grogu was never coming back though, since mando would have never had a way to find them.

Not necessarily. Mando would just need to go to an incredibly lovely planet, give some crappy food to an astrodroid and say,"Do not let ANYBODY have this" and the little Yodas would have been popping out of the woodwork drooling and clutching with their little claws for the forbidden treasure.

It’s like they had a mission to remove everything cool about his design in the third season. Got rid of his cool spear, got rid of his cool rifle (I know it blew up but he could have repaired/replaced it), Got rid of his cool cape for a bedsheet, Got rid of his lovable lovely space minivan. Just sanded off all the edges to make him featureless.

its very true

"Dedra Meero" specially has such a great sound and it feels like the written version of that perfect :>( face of her

edit: by the way, I dont think Ive ever seen that actress in anything else, but she nailed the character so perfectly. Andor had lots of good acting, but I think she takes the first place

The hotrod N-1 was so stupid as a bounty hunter ship. You can't live out of it, and you cant carry anyone except yourself and a droid or Grogu. It severely curtails the range you can even travel to because now you need bathroom and food pitstops.

And, from a filming standpoint, you eliminate interstitial character-building scenes in transit from point A to B.

But the entire set can fit in the Volume. Can't you understand the savings?

Yeah Outlaws is fun enough and gotten better since launch with a bunch of patches and tweaks to gameplay. It's not a fantastic game, but you'll still get fun out of it.

if you like Star Wars and Far Cry it's an absolute no-brainer. It's not a perfect game by any means but I had a great time with it (and I hated far cry 5). The food eating minigame is one of the most lovingly crafted things I've seen in a game, especially from a company that is rightfully accused of having cookie-cutter side content. Sabacc is really fun. The story is rather slight but if yoy're posting in this thread I assume the idea of hanging out in Star Wars for awhile is appealing.

It's probably only worth the one playthrough though, so it might be cheaper to get a month of Ubisoft plus and then cancel vs actually buying the game.

It’s a ton of fun. Play sabacc and cheat at it constantly. It also absolutely nails the atmosphere and vibe of the OT, so wandering around the various locations (Particularly Mos Eisley) just feels great.

I love it. It had issues at launch which gave it a bad reputation, but they've all been fixed. It's the only Star Wars game where you can shoot some Stormtroopers, jump on a speeder bike, play some sabaac, get in your space ship, fly into space, do some dog fighting, jump into hyperspace, go to a different planet, and do it all over again. Entirely on your own time line because it's open world(s).

It's legit my favorite Star Wars game ever. But I love open world games like that. It's made for me. And not a single lightsaber to be found in the whole thing.

I will say it's a little slow to start, and only really comes alive when you get off the tutorial planet.
