I'd completely forgotten about Temuera's casting, so I was watching the episode thinking "Ah, so they're using this to finally tell us Boba's dead and gone" And then the end of the episode happened The remake of the Tatooine KOTOR mission was an interesting choice

I guess the Sarlacc spat him out a few years after trying to digest him, and he was robbed while he was unconscious He might also not feel a connection to the armor like other Mandos, if you want to take the "not an actual Mando" at face value

I've reached the point where I can sorta recognize certain character voices and there's enough Cummings there for me to go "That's not Scar" - as a kid, I never noticed though There's a specific twang to Cummings' performance where he's almost edging into the Tigger voice

Favorite part of Rebels was its demonstration of an orbital bombardment... ...which...gave us tiny piffs of dust clouds on impact despite there already having gorgeous fiery ground-based explosions they could've used to show it actually being effective a few episodes prior But according to the Thrawn novels, apparently atmosphere dampens the force of lasers or something?

NTRabbit posted:The one not to watch is Resistance, because it's very, very kiddy, and it tries and fails to make the First Order and the sequels coherent and relevant. The latter half of season 2 finally reached the same stride that Rebels and TCW reached in their third seasons and it's a crying shame it got canned Would've loved a third season set during the year between TLJ and RoS and have Finn, Rey, and Poe appear and flesh them out as characters, because for all of RoS's faults, it was at least nice to see the ST trio together at long last for all of five minutes before the plot tore them apart again

Haven't really read the original Thrawn Trilogy, although I did read the anniversary edition of the first book, and perused the comic version Never really thought of The Clone Wars as anything other than... some manner of war involving clones - I do recall Zahn was working on the assumption they were evil in the series, and he was basically half right on that front, so...
