I don't get it. The entire concept of this show is basically fan pandering to the ancient ideal that Boba Fett is the coolest dude around because he has the coolest armor. Why get up in arms because literal Boba Fett, the guy who everyone used to think was so awesome that he turns up in 5 out of 6 Darth Vader movies, turns up in the show based on "what if Boba Fett, but not, had a Yoda friend?

Pops Mgee posted:Boba was always going to come back, there’s money to be made! I’m surprised Disney had the restraint to wait 8 years after buying the franchise instead of making him a main character in the sequel trilogy or something else dumb like that. I'm honestly surprised he didn't turn up in Solo, the one place where he would have actually made sense showing up.

He was already hunting Han for Jabba when Vader called in for bounty hunters. As much as I don't want to mention the Holiday Special, Han Solo-Boba Fett was always a thing from Boba Fett's first appearance.

If the Mando fought Worf, the universe would collapse because how could Mando dunk on Worf to show that he's a badass, but how would he do that if his flamethrower can't work against Worf?

BizarroAzrael posted:It's it known how much time elapsed between Han's rescue from the barge and Endor? Luke had time to visit Dagobah, I suppose he could have hung with Yoda for a bit, did learning of the second Death Star or the dead bothans necessary happen right after he got back? I think it was on the scale of a few days. If you count the cut scenes, I'm reasonably sure that they mention going to Sullust in the sandstorm scene. That'd be pretty close to the battle.

They're not even space cops. They're somewhere between the Coast Guard and the fighter pilots that they send up when someone's not squawking the right transponder code in an ADIZ. Which is literally what happened in the episode, I guess.

That's one heck of an extrapolation, given that he says they're "too precise," implying that whoever did it was better trained and better equipped. Which isn't much of a stretch when you're comparing desert nomads with antiquated weapons versus shocktroopers with leading edge equipment. Plus Luke even says he's never heard of them hitting a Jawa sandcrawler either, which further implies they have little experience knowing how to attack a large, armored vehicle. Unlike...say...stormtroopers.

There's something that always bugged me about Mandalorians popping their domes on and off in the Clone Wars and now it bothers me more in live action. All practical stuff, like "well now you have to carry the dang thing around" and "what is actually holding it on your head?" and "if I hit you with a stick, is your helmet just going to spin around on your head and now you can't see?" No wonder Jango's head flew right out. Not even a chin strap holding it on.

IBroughttheFunk posted:From what I have learned from various Star Wars shows, the Mon Calamari are supposed to be renowned shipbuilders. Which made the patch-job that one guy did on Mando's ship all the funnier to me because it was such absolute poo poo. Yeah, but do you think if you took your yacht to a boatyard in Monaco to be repaired by the finest workers around you're going to get slightly different results than going to a guy that usually spends his time welding patches over holes in tuna boats while telling everyone about how Belichick sucks without Brady?

I'm always a little surprised that lightsabers aren't more common in the Star Wars. Yeah, there's the whole "dangerous to use" thing, but that's never really slowed anyone down before with anything else dangerous to the operator. There were probably catalogs that you could order licensed reproductions of all your favorite Jedi's lightsabers.

Sydin posted:What makes lightsabers workable in a setting with laser guns all over the place is that Jedi have training, reflexes, and force sensitivity to deflect blaster bolts. Your average dude bringing a lightsaber to a fight would probably just result in them getting turned to swiss cheese. That's not what I was talking about. I mean literally like how I can go buy a replica of Patton's ivory handled pistols or the Honjo Masamune. They'd still work as a gun or a sword, but no one is actually using one.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Yeah my childhood vision of the Clone Wars was bascially that it was a war so massive that it used clones as soldiers on both sides, but honestly nothing more than that. I also thought it was long before Star Wars (I always read Obi Wan as someone in their mid 70s and thought that Luke's father was supposed to be within a few years of him, being middle aged when Luke was born). Especially when your childhood had little more than behind the scenes making of material to base your ideas on. There was a time where Mandalorian armor was maybe the armor worn by a Clone Wars commando unit and that we almost had a version of Empire where Lando was one model of Clone leftover from the war and Cloud City was basically a clone refugee center.

Darth Brooks posted:I saw the original when I was twelve. My impression was that the clone war may have been just a local war and maybe not even related to the rise of the empire. I always figured it was huge, like the Punic Wars or something that lasted for decades through fits and starts. Everyone that mentions them in A New Hope calls them "the Clone Wars," not "the Clone War." Anakin was just another fighter pilot, a really good one, fighting in the war until he met Obi-Wan. Turns out that he's strong in the Force, but was never selected for Jedi training because he was born out in the sticks. About 15 years more of war, the Empire (complete with the Jedi and everything being part of the nascent Empire) rises out of what's left of the Republic, determined to be so powerful that nothing can ever threaten them again. Anakin sides with the Empire, Obi-Wan is all Maximus being "there was a dream that was Rome. This is not it!" They have it out and the Empire turns on the Jedi, realizing that they will never allow the Empire to become the cartoonishly evil Empire that we know and love. Darth Vader becomes the enforcer that the weird old Emperor uses to fight his wizard battles for him. Anakin's wife takes the kids and goes into hiding.

They need to find a way to get Avery Brooks to show up so Carl Weathers and he can act at each other. Their combined power releases so much ham that the Emperor spontaneously forms directly out of it.

Frankenstyle posted:Wait. It's been a while so don't call me dumb, but I thought the Dark Forces dark troopers were guys in suped up stormtrooper power armor. Were they actually droids? Confusingly, it was all of the above. Phase I was the sort of clunky looking droids, Phase II were all armored up, and Phase III could be worn as a exosuit. For bonus dark fun, there were also guys called Dark Troopers in Dark Empire that had limited training and skill in using the Force.
