Owlbear Camus posted:Even if he is, they can just say basically Deathwatch is Orthadox and whatever tribe/creed Boba belongs to is Reform. Also Mando's set like 30 years after Mandalore got the poo poo kicked out of it by the Empire and its people scattered to the galactic winds. That hadn't happened yet in Clone Wars and still relatively fresh by the time of Rebels. So I'm guessing the "don't take the helmet off" thing is relatively recent development and in response to the whole Mandalorian diaspora thing. Well, the good news is that the same one guy is in charge of all three shows, so there's probably going to be a consistent through line between them once we get to the point of exploring it in depth. Also, according to The Way, when you take the helmet off, you're dead. As far as the rest of the Galaxy knows, Boba Fett is dead, so if there's one Mando out there who's earned the right to ditch the helmet, it's him. Also the implication seems to be that he's going to hunt Din down and take his armor back, so maybe he didn't take the helmet off willingly and is looking to fix that? We'll see.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I hope Din and Boba have a Hobbes and Shaw your relationship. Bonus, Boba Fett didn't kill Han Solo Boba shows up to the dock at Mos Eisley while Din is packing up the Razor Crest and is like "You have my old armor." Din replies "Oh, sorry about there. Please, take it, it's yours." Boba puts on the helmet, walks away without incident, and is never seen again. [Woodwind music intensifies]

Thundercracker posted:I mean the last movie was just an absolute failure of a movie it probably retroactively ruined the last two movies. Like, I'm not even saying it's a bad movie, more like barely even functions as a movie. Disney panicked and gave Reddit everything it wanted and then found out the hard way that normal people don't like that poo poo, and Reddit didn't like it either because it's unpleasable, but then again Disney has a long track record of cowardly pandering.

DurosKlav posted:Its weird how many people think that Boba just lost his armor. Am I the only one who thinks he abandoned it on purpose? That's my take on it too. Dude managed to escape the Sarlac, was beat the gently caress up beyond all reasonable measure and probably decided "Eh, maybe it's a good time for 'Boba Fett' to just die.", sold the armor to the Jawas and just decided to live simpler life as a local scavenger on Tattooine. But then this new Mandalorian guy shows up and just starts dropping bounty hunters left and right. Then, a few months later... he comes back. He blows up a Kyrat Dragon and then walks away hauling off Boba's old armor. Now that's attention grabbing. That might be something worth resurrecting 'Boba Fett' for...

Butternubs posted:This is a good show, I'm actually not worried about what they do with boba, as much as people like him for some reason he's a minor background character and it'd be hard to ruin his legacy of picking up his dads head and then falling into a pit. Yeah, this is what people don’t seem to get. Boba Fett is an absolute chump. There is literally nowhere to go with his character but up.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:They got better performances out of him for Clone Wars, which I think is mostly just Dave Filoni being a better writer than George Lucas was. George Lucas is not an "actor's director" either. Literally every actor who turned in a weird or wooden performance in the Prequels under Lucas has given some pretty banger performances elsewhere under other/better directors.

Mywhatacleanturtle posted:Apparently the season 2 premiere saw a 25% drop in viewership from the season 1 premiere and that, uh, seems bad? And where did you hear that from? I'm just curious because the QAnon-offshoot that calls itself the Fandom Menace loves to trot out that very peculiarly specific "25%" number about things they don't like. It's one of their memes. They also claimed Star Trek: Discovery lost 25% of its audience from last season, even though streaming services like CBS All Access and Disney+ don't actually publish viewership numbers, so nobody actually knows how well the shows are doing.

Dash Rendar has in fact already been re-canonized. Thanks to Disney’s mandate of “everything published by us is the new canon”, some tie-in book for Solo has a note written to Han from Dash where he’s his typical shithead self. So Dash Rendar is canon again, now he needs to show up on TV somewhere.

Bust Rodd posted:I try to keep my politics out of Star Wars but https://twitter.com/pedropascal1/status/1325332402412023809?s=21 There's nothing political at all about telling Nazis to gently caress off; its a litmus test for whether or not you're a decent human being. Pedro passes with flying colours, Gina Carraro bombed it spectacularly. Also the Nazi guy who got upset that someone would dare insinuate that he was a Nazi is part of a ring of likeminded cryptofascist YouTubers who are some sort of Angry About [Pop Culture Thing] darkweb.

Anshu posted:Adam Driver deserved better. Ben Solo deserved worse (Off-brand knock-off of Jacen's worst character arc...) Adam Driver would have knocked Duel of the Fates out of the loving park, and it's all 100% Ben Solo getting exactly what was coming to him--poo poo getting progressively worse and worse for him and everything falling further to pieces for him the more edgelord evil he tries to be and then a last second half-assed sort of redemption where he fixes one mistake (bringing Rey back to life) and then fucks off forever because that's exactly what a shithead like him should do. Then again, I'm also glad that Duel of the Fates got thrown in the industrial metal shredder because while it was the better movie between it and Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars fans deserved the Rise of Skywalker for the tantrum they threw over their stupid space wizard story somehow betraying them and scaring them for life.

Everyone posted:Well, I'm not scarred and especially not for life. It would have been nice for the movie series that had been a thing for much of my life to have not shat the bed at the end, but... gently caress it. I still have the Expanded Universe. I still have SW: Rebels and SW: Clone Wars. And, for that matter I still have The Mandalorian. Thankfully, and I say that with a caveat the size of Saturn, Disney has a pretty decent track record of cauterizing things cleanly in-house when individual actors out themselves as lovely chuds these days. See that lady they hired to voice Leia in Resistance turning out to be a complete rear end in a top hat and was then fired and replaced wiht a new actor at warp speed. Gina Carano is slightly messier because Mano Season 2 was already in the can when she ripped the mask off on Twitter, but I have a strong suspicion that if she survives Season 2 in tact, then Cara Dune is gonna get killed off very quickly into Season 3 or there will be a "Cara Dune died on the way back to her home planet" scene so they don't even have to bring Carano back to film anything.
