Thumbtacks posted:Started watching the mandelorian, on episode 4 right now. For some reason this entire episode looks like a video game cutscene, I’m not sure why the camera is so weird this time. This happens in an episode of season 2 IIRC also where something about the technology they use for all the "green screen" and stuff can get weird when they're also incorporating some actual exterior locations.

That article's bullshit because it's based on Lego toys which at least a few years ago (I think possibly even before Disney owned Star Wars) started calling all of the named character ships "Luke Skywalker's X-Wing" or whatever because it make it easier for small kids and for parents to know what ship is what.

Bismuth posted:It is funny to me that TCW goes out of its way to have characters take down a big slavery empire to save a handfull of slaves, and always be very firm about slavery being bad and depict the slavers as very evil people who torture their slaves and force them to die for them and such while these same good guys are being supported by an army of expendable human slaves with obedience chips in their heads. And there was that early (I think?) ep where the villain of the ep was a clone that thought clones were being exploited/used as slaves (which they were). IIRC not long after that episode there's one where Baris (?) and Asohka have a conversation where they basically talk about how they only get to be "peacekeepers" when it's politically convenient and that being peacekeepers means "kill whoever the Republic points us at" rather than fighting injustice overall.

Doctor Spaceman posted:A lot of not great action in an action-heavy finale, especially relating to the giant underwhelming droids. It reminded me of the final battle in the Netflix Dark Crystal show but it was understandable there because they were already hitting the absolute no poo poo limit of what you could do with a bunch of puppets in general during it. I really disliked how the final battle in Boba Fett had all these folks that we've all seen use different kinds of weapons and abilities but everyone just, like, stands in the open and shoots blasters at each other for so long. Like, Krrrsanton realies it's possible to get through the shield but gets knocked back and doesn't communicate this instead of like, him and Mand w/ the darksaber or the Jimmy from Quadrephenia mod with the kicking leg punching through one everyone just kind of shrugs and keeps shooting at them. How far are the two Moses from each other, Fennec got on a speeder but what did she do spend the entire final battle WALKING to the mayor/Pyke leader's office? How the hell did the Gamoreans go down so easily?. Anyway I enjoyed the shot overall and hit some good points but I really wish the script wasn't so half-baked.

thrawn527 posted:What about the scene after they knock over the train? He tells that one guy that he'll be fine if they're not carrying spice, they find spice, and Fett says, "It's not looking good for you." Maybe he was just loving with him, but the implication seemed pretty clear that Fett doesn't want spice being moved through at least Tusken territory. Coupled with the Cobb Vanth scene, and the show is telling us, "Our good guys say 'spice is bad'". I think he pretty clearly meant "if you were just dumbass folks passing through whatever but now you owe me $$$ if you want to run spice" since that's what happens right after

Xenomrph posted:the more I think about the Boba Fett show the less I like it and the direction it took with the character. Massive agree on all of this. For the first half of the show I was sort of hopeful because it seemed like Boba's actions (and lack of actions) were going to make sense towards the end like there was some more ruthless/whatever endgame he was setting up. And the slow realization that, no, they took this potentially rad setup and shat it out as fast as possible even by Disney standards (there's an interview where Rodriguez mentioned them having him go from shooting to having edited/finished scenes in the same day and it shows) setting in made it really disappointing. And then after all that disjointed nothing-ness of him just stumbling around we get to the very end and he's like...eh, this life isn't for us, like what? There were so many stupidly busted things about that show. It felt like maybe they had some other story in mind but then Disney was like "no wait we can't have Boba hurting people or being a bad guy!" or something so they had nothing for him to do but amble around and be incredibly stupid. Anita Dickinme posted:One thing that kinda confused me was how did inquisitor lady know Vader is Anakin but she didn’t know Owen was his step-brother? Maybe it’s not something that would come up but I feel like if Vader told her he was Anakin he would tell her that info when they told him they were going to Tatooine. Arc Hammer posted:I mean this show also wants us to believe that Obi Wan didn't know Vader was alive, despite him being the top enforcer of Imperial rule. Making the Inquisitors publicly known even in the Outer Rim makes it a stretch that Ben didn't know Vader was still around. I think some other posters had pointed it out, I'm not familiar with Rebels at all but I'm starting to agree with them that a lot of the timeline/continuity issues with this would completely vanish if they just didn't have the Inquisitors in the show at all. They painted themselves into a corner with this because I get not wanting to overkill Vader appearances. So you have to have these sad Vader wannabes around during this era instead of Vader himself.

ninjahedgehog posted:Obi-Wan already knew Anakin and Vader were the same person, he just thought he'd burned to death in Mustafar. I guess Vader isn't as famous as I thought though, or Tatooine is such a backwater they don't know how the #2 guy in the entire Empire is Yeah it's not really reconcilable. IIRC Vader doesn't have like an official rank that matters at all in the imperia navy's hierarchy, or whatever, like he is just like literally the Emperor's #2 guy like you say. To me that even more would make him infamous even just on the level of like general "oh yeah the empire was having trouble doing x/y/z but then this badass black-armored cyborg showed up and steamrolled everyone with a lightsaber and used the force to bend a spaceship in half what in the holy gently caress?" gossip level. Like even people on Tatooine must have heard some stories at least. I did get the implication in Rogue One though, it seemed like Vader doesn't actually get out much? Like he's just in his castle in a bacta tank until Palpatine fucks up too much and he sends Vader out to clean up his mess? Like if he didn't sense that that was Luke during the Death Star run would he have just gone back to his castle to hibernate/heal up again instead of continuing that? In older stuff Vader hunts down the Jedi but if we go by just the live action movies and shows it seems like Vader isn't actually active that much. Sort of like Book of Boba Fett's issues it doesn't work unless Vader completely ceases to exist in people's minds when he's not on screen lol But again like the timelines feels weird, decades later sure, Obi-Wan and few people in general would know Vader even exists because it's not like he's on the front lines or a commissioned officer. But this is just ten years after Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi are actively being hunted down and murked by Vader and these inquisitor folks - people at this time definitely know who Darth Vader is. But again I think we're seeing a sort of retcon where outside of some really specific incidences Vader isn't actually even outside of his bacta tank much until Rogue One/the OT.

Pretty odd for to cast a child actor too young for the part. It's normally a 25 year old playing a 12 year old. It was comical how slow she was running yet managed to evade everyone. I think it's a given that they're going to do some kind of Young Leia Adventures spinoff show if people like her in this.

The best part was of that everyone was like wow Palpatine canonically fucks but this is Disney we're talking about so later on in a comic or book or whatever later on they specified that Palpatine did cloning stuff and so that he specifically DID NOT gently caress. Which is so dumb because c'mon a hyper-powerful senator travelling the galaxy there's no way this guy wasn't blasting his sith seed constantly

teagone posted:Pretty impressed by how this show literally made me feel nothing during the Obi-Wan/Vader fight. Zero fanfare. No style. How was it so anticlimatic? Boringly shot/paced. Just...I'm at a loss for words lol. Basically came here to post this. Like even if the whole show were to be almost all bad, how do allow THAT to be a fuckup? I mean I guess they had to make it as unmemorable as possible to explain the lack of Obi-Wan mentioning this meetup during A New Hope and also Obi-Wan somehow being able to go back to Tatooine to watch over Luke for the next 20 years. Like I'm very "excited" to see why Vader suddenly decides to just, uh, NOT pursue Obi-Wan anymore. Like for real what in the hell is going on with that scene because you almost have to be like intentionally trying to make it bad. Rappaport posted:Ben just trusting the random British Empire officer with Leia was bad enough, but then the 10-year-old convinces her to let Leia go on alone because she has to save Leia's not-space-daddy? What the gently caress Yeah the writing in this show is occasionally uh lmao The non-action moments are good though, I liked the first half of this episode of Obi-Wan and Kid Leia chatting with each other and Obi-Wan being a dumbass openly talking about this secret stuff in the back of the mole guy's truck and slipping up and stuff. I don't get the disparity of like, when are there enough opposition that you just murk them all vs. when are there enough opposition that you surrender? It feels completely random even within this one episode. Rahul posted:The fight was supposed to suck - Obi-Wan is a broken man at this point who does not even remotely have his poo poo together. I agree though that his escape at the end is kind of BS unless it gets revealed that Vader purposely lets him go for uhh... reasons, I guess? Hey last week everyone said they wanted LESS Reva parkour so teleporting is fine by me  I do agree this is better than Book of Boba Fett. Like book of Boba Fett though I'm already thinking Vader toyed with/let Obi-Wan go for a long term reason in this case, he knows that now that Obi-Wan is in play that his dumbassness will make it easy for Vader to hunt down and obliterate the rest of the Jedi via this underground railroad network or whatever but I'm ready like with Boba Fett to be disappointed as the rest of the episodes reveal that no, the show's writing is just bad.

babypolis posted:earlier on we saw reva being chastised over and over again for being too brutal in her tactics. then vader shows up and hes doing all the same poo poo x10. it makes no sense that reva is eating poo poo for doing all the stuff her boss does. if anything the other inquisitors should have been punished for being too lenient. It's different when Vader does it because he's in charge. But it also leads back to how having inquisitors is just dumb in general and will always on some level not work. Like Reva gets criticized for being too brutal in her tactics? Look at their fuckin' outfits and gear! They showed the helicopter lightsaber in live action! It's the dumbest thing in the galaxy that just ten years before new hope there's a whole water planet tower of these folks flying around the galaxy steamrolling regular folks to the point where even a random people on a podunk planet like Tatooine know "oh yeah those are inquisitors, former Jedi who now hunt down the Jedi for Darth Vader" or whatever. Like when you hear about the Jedi were wiped out I figured it went down basically like it did in Revenge of the Sith. Order 66 happens so at that point in time ANY Jedi is just going to get murked on site because it's still a clone army for awhile. And after Bad Batch stuff is happening and we see them transitioning back to recruits and conscription or whatever then yeah Vader probably has a bunch of informants around low key following rumors of some weird person doing magic to see if they're the real deal or not. I would have never interpretated the process as their being like an entire faction of force using people out in the open doing this stuff.
