It's strange, animated stuff rarely appeals to me (never watched any of the previous SW series) but despite very little ever really happening in this show, I keep tuning in week after week and have become terribly fond of the gang anyway. Plus I guess I just dig the whole small scale adventures during the awful Empire consolidation period thing, and seeing cool clone dudes like that Howzer guy last week. I dread to think what's going to happen to all those guys by the time it's all over. One silly nerd question: other that To Sell Toys, why do the Dads keep on in their unique and distinctive armour? Wouldn't they - well, Wrickah! excepted - have an easier time keeping unnoticed dressed as regular clone troopers?

I totally get where the criticisms are coming from, some shots had zero sense of depth to them at all, the fight scenes were kinda 'eh' and I'm not that interested in the post-Mando crime lord stuff. I do, however, really dig all the Sandpeople stuff, I find that much more interesting and looking forward to seeing more of it. In any case, a weak opening isn't the end of the world, hopefully things get better from here.

I always hated how nerds - and then I guess the encyclopaedia later - took every bit of dialogue so literally. When Jabba’s giving the 1000 years digestion speech, it came over to me as just some cold-blooded gangster poo poo to say to a motherfucker before he dropped his rear end down there. Like sure, maybe the Sarlacc has a slow digestion system and you are gonna suffer miserably in there slowly dissolving but come on, a week tops and you’re done. But no, every Bothan’s gotta be a spy, and the Sarlacc has some kind of psychic poo poo going on to make you feel it for centuries.

site posted:also after this ep I'm convinced the badass Tusken turns about to be super hot and they fall in love and then she gets murdered, classic western tale like I think you're right but really hope not because she owns so hard. But yeah, something presumably happens for him to leave a few years down the line. Still don't care much about the 'present day' crime syndicate stuff (although it was better this ep) but absolutely loving the flashback stuff with the tribe. Not complaining but I was under the impression they are generally supposed to be hardcore technophobes though so wouldn't have expected them to go for Boba's idea. It's also very nuts to me to see Matt Berry listed third on the cast for a frickin' Star Wars gig.

pik_d posted:That and the way Obi-Wan talks about them when they're originally introduced is a real bad look. A bounty hunter who was captured by them has a better understanding of them in weeks/months than a Jedi after presumably two decades of living in the same area? Makes him look like a racist old man. Can you remind us what he said about them that's so bad? All I remember him saying is that travelling through their lands is not to be taken lightly, they ride single file, and that they can be spooked but will return with reinforcements. Nothing like they're all mindless savages who deserve to be put to the lightsabre or anything similar.

Maybe Boba's friends are just better shots because they absolutely nailed some of their shots. Oh yeah, that's especially hilarious considering how legendarily poo poo Stormtroopers are. I just wondered if there was anything else particularly awful I was forgetting. His initial reactions to Jar-Jar and Anakin certainly suggest an air of smug superiority for sure.

BrianWilly posted:Oh...I'm the only one who liked the Vespa gang, then. That's fine, that's fine... No, not just you. They're utterly ridiculous but I love ridiculous. Give me all the pimped out Vespas with a top speed of leisurely amble per hour. Mint green and chrome and two dozen wing mirrors, stat. They felt very in keeping of George's well documented love of 50s/60s hotrod style racers, and it's doubly hilarious with the evil biker gang very much being more like a traditional Rocker bunch. The Book of Boba Fett building up to a Mods v Rockers face off, they should release it on a bank holiday imo. I liked them, and the 'house guest' scene, and Danny showing up with a Good Boy but overall thought it was much weaker that last week's ep and I really hated the (not unexpected) reveal in the flashback. And generally speaking, Boba just comes over as hopelessly outmatched and far too weak to be a boss. It's like Michael Corleone trying to run New York with just Al Neary, Rocco, and a couple of mooks while everyone else has capos by the bucket load. Hopefully it's a long con but he just seems too outnumbered and decent for it of late. Icon Of Sin posted:Jfc Krrsantan is terrifying IKR? I would not want to spill his pint.

Having just finished Toast of Tinseltown, Toast's constant proclamations about starring in the "new Staaaar Wars moo-vie" go so absolutely perfectly with Matt's work on this show. If they want a decent antagonist for Boba, they could do a lot worse than Ray Purchase.

Love love loved the not-Halo and that we finally get to see what happens when an ordinary, untrained Joe tries using a lightsabre (ie. they gently caress themselves up with it). Glad that the heavy weapon Mando survived, even they are a fundie arsehole. The T2 flashback owned, the Classic 'Car' Restoration owned, the episode in general owned even though it's completely disconnected from Boba's series and more a Mando Holiday Special that hasn't advanced the main plot at all. Also, lmao at Din having to travel coach, and being all "gently caress tha police" when asked to pull over. I feel bad for any bounties he takes though, not a lot of room in that astromech port... So yeah, give Bryce a film or series if she wants, I've enjoyed all her eps so far. Man, I wanna visit *that* space station, it looks so cool.

My defence is that TRoS was so catastrophically bad I've basically memory holed the entire ST, never to think of it again. Mr. Funktastic posted:We interrupt your regularly scheduled Book of Boba Fett run to bring you Mandolorian season 3 episode 1. That episode rules and it didn't even have Boba Fett in it. The N1 is an awesome little ship but where's the room for all of Mando's stuff! The part I liked about the Razor Crest was all the room he had for his little armory, guess he's gonna be travelling light now. Guess he could put a small cache of stuff in the astrodroid compartment, but I wouldn't mind if he picked up a little droid companion in season 3 to fill in that space. Yeah, as lovely as the N1 is, it's got nee room for gently caress all. The only way he's bringing bounties in now is by filling the mech port with a stack of heads, which is perhaps just a tad grim.

Most important classes at Jedi Academy this term: i) Droid Crushing ii) Animal Husbandry iii) iv) Force Jumping Overall, you really can't call this series good but it did have fun moments, there were some nice ideas here and there, and it was neat seeing Krrsantan and Cad Bane pop up in live action. Steph Green and Bryce Dallas Howard's episodes were so much better than any of the others, Robert Rodriguez remains disappointing but really, the script/plotting is where the real blame lies. As for Boba, I'm actually down with him wanting to be a better, more chill guy in his old age but drat, he really should put Fennec in charge because she's MVP. Hopefully Din's gonna rub off on him on the Mandalorian side of things and he'll get more involved when it's time to go back to Mandalore. RIP Sandlady, she was too cool to ice off screen

Tatooine is the last place in the galaxy Anakin wants to go or think about, and the baby died with Padme as far as he and Palpatine know. Plus it's pretty much a nothing backwater dive in an entire galaxy of planets, with only the most token Empire representation 90% of the time. Though now I do want to see Anakin stop by the old homestead for an awkward catch up and supper with his step-brother. "So...what have you been up to?" "Nothing much, killing Sand People, lamenting my lot in life, you know, the usual. This suit owns though, keeps the sand out, you guys should get one. Can you pass the salt please, Beru?"

I loved the first ep, was much cooler on the second. The chase scenes with the kid (who is otherwise a delight in the role) are painful, all these adults failing to keep up with their tiny jogging looks ludicrous; the Inquisitors are kinda lame (lol @ Reva’s rooftop shenanigans); and the limitations of the Volume were blatantly apparent in all the neon planet scenes, the exterior shots there all looked terribly stagey and fake. I think it’s the floor, it’s just all so flat, featureless and lifeless, really takes me out of it. Conversely, Tatooine and OTHER PLANET feel real and alive. So that’s what isn’t working for me. What I am digging is Ewan killing it, he does so much work with just a defeated and haunted look, his painful interactions with Owen (who I have a new respect and appreciation for now) and Bail (loving the Smits here also). We might have laughed at the Obi-Wan has PTSD thing back in the day but he really sells it here, the dude is hosed up bad. And the scene of him waking up from his nightmare and calling out Qui-Gon to no response is just sad as gently caress. Presumably the Grand Inquisitor will be right as rain, if a bounty hunter in the middle of the Dune Sea can hang on long enough to get patched up, I’m sure a leading Imperial dude can get seen to. Plus it just increases the need for our boy to drag his rear end out his tank and take charge of these yo-yos. I am very curious how hard they’re going to go with Vader, full on bastard or more hints to his softer side? So yeah, it’s a mixed bag but I’m mostly enjoying it, the dynamic between Ben and the kid, and hopefully now they’re off the crappy looking neon planet stage, it’ll be onwards and upwards from here. And mad hype for Anakin getting his game on, of course.

Man, I know our guy is in a bad place mentally right now but even wet behind the ears punks like Luke and Cal Kestis put up more of a fight than Obi-Wan managed here, goddamn. Anakin's probably split between feeling like even more of a chump for getting owned by this guy in the first place, and laughing his rear end off at what a worthless, broken shell of a man Obi-Wan has become. It was not so much Ali v Frazier II, more like Mike Tyson loving up that long streak of paralysed piss on the plane last month. Part of me wondered if they might soften Anakin up a bit, dial back some of the awful poo poo you might expect of him but nope, just straight up gonna merk a whole street of randos just because then just toy around like a particularly sadistic cat with a crippled mouse. Kenobi! Sort your poo poo out. Anyway, rather liked the hitch-hiking bit, the kid's quick thinking, the truck driver's seemingly amiable nature and the subsequent awkwardness. As for the direction, I like the idea of trying again for something like George's old idea of a scene that's just darkness interrupted by movement of the sabres but while thematically very appropriate it didn't really work for me here. The framing felt terribly average. All these sci-fi shows that aren't Raised By Wolves badly need better DoPs.

My take is it probably depends how strong you are with the Force. Reva ain't poo poo, she never finished her training and she works in a hostile workplace environment that doesn't want anyone getting too good, so Force Tai chi works a treat. Dooku and Palpatine were proper Force gangstas so Yoda had to bust out the lightsaber. See also mojoless loser Obi-Wan in the third episode getting hoisted up like he ain't poo poo - that ain't gonna work again if they meet next week. Anyway, I dug the ep, it was a huge improvement over last week's farce, though there was still some dumb poo poo here and there and they offed the two best new characters in the whole drat thing - RIP Tala & NED, booooo.

Set up a Vader show that's a weekly comedy where he leaves the armour at home, puts on a Vader tux, slaps on a wig and some make up, and tries to woo an unimpressed Keira Knightley on a series of hot dates in exotic locales each week while an increasingly furious Palps texts him demanding he stop skiving off work.

Natalie Holt is a good composer, she was just handed a dumb set of guidelines to start off with on this. Mando guy just gets to do his own thing because there are no existing mando themes - or expectations - but everyone has a set idea when it comes to Anakin/Vader, Obi-Wan and Leia, and the director tied one arm behind their back. By the time Williams was asked, it was likely already too late.
