Star Wars: This is The Way

[Tarsonis]

Boba Fett (the original) has died

Yes, I already talked about that further up the page.

not everything is about you Vass

I don't recall saying it was. Just that it seems kind of weird to treat something as breaking news when we've already discussed it. Or lazy.

And let's not talk about the wildly out-of-character and totally disrespectful murder of Luke Skywalker's character by Rian Johnson and J. J. Abrams by making him a big scaredy bitch who tries to kill his nephew because he had a bad dream or some stupid shit like that. One bad scene in a movie full of nothing but bad scenes from a trilogy that consists of movies made up almost entirely of bad scenes.

It was a scene that had potential to be an important display of some great philosophical questions, but the execution was poor.

The writing had potential (but you aren't complaining about it), that scene was justified given later events.

[Vassenor]

Both times someone defected to the dark side of the force, in both, the Jedi were guilty(Obi-Wan not being gratiful, pressure over Anakin on the Jedi Council, When he told the Senator that he think Palpatine was evil, he was told to wait; and finally, in the most recent saga(7 to 9) Luke tryed to kill Kyle Ren in his sleep. What a D**k.

It's... not that simple. Anakin's fall to the Dark Side was partly due to the incompetence and negligence of the Jedi Council, partly due to him being an emotionally unstable powder keg and all around arrogant, prideful jackass who constantly broke every rule in the book and rarely got punished for it, and partly because he had a literal Sith whispering shit into his ear so he'd be more inclined to do evil things. The Council, Anakin, and Palpatine are all largely responsible for it but I think the brunt of the blame lays on Anakin "I Can Do Whatever The Fuck I Want" Skywalker.

You mean like when he tried to kill his own father out of pure rage?

Didn't Bo-Katan literally get the Darksaber because Sabine gave it to her freely and of her free will? Stop retconning rebels for crying out loud.

I can't believe Luke Skywalker got a fucking hallways scene lmao

...Yes. I'm pretty sure I was yelling "that's not how it worked last time" at the screen.

[Cannot think of a name]

When the option you had for the call that was labelled "It'd be awesome, but they're not gonna do that" is the option they went with...

I'm sort of whiny fan proof at the moment. No amount of complaining about...whatever people's problems might be...could take away the pure joy of that reveal especially since I was bracing myself for not getting that as soon as it was the X-Wing. I didn't even think to look at the paint job.

So...cue the speculation...where was Grogu during Ben Solo's defection, did he die in the event? Or do we get a post trilogy trilogy story about adolescent Grogu in the post First Order world?

Also, Book of Boba Fett...what the holy fucking shit is that going to be?

My only nerd nitpick there was that was a lot of standing on the grate for people who should know Jabba's palace.

That shit made me happy.

[Andsed]

Well it seems I was right. They actually brought in Luke. I am not all that displeased cause wow that was awesome.

I half expected Ezra, even with the X-wing -and the fact he's MIA at this point, I think- but like. Eh. Luke works. Does bring up the question of "how will he escape death by Rylo?" though

Assuming there's something else in that pit now in the first place.

Dave Filoni wrote both Rebels and Mando.

Sure, and unless it turns out that Gideon just didn't know what he was talking about (which isn't necessarily impossible given how many of the narrators in the story are unreliable; the protagonist in question being the biggest one) or unless it turns out Bo-Katan can't just take the saber without a fight (Because she's already lost it once), then that means Filoni is retconning Rebels. Which isn't necessarily unusual, Rebels retconed the stupid parts of TCW a lot of times.

Perhaps he was off world at the time. It would be kind of a retcon, but I never really like the ST statement of Rey and Luke basically being the last of the Jedi so I would be fine with it.

You'd have to at least guess there might be rather than find out the hard way there is.

I love that recent Star Wars have been giving us such badass displays of power by OT characters who could not in the OT due to the limitations of the time. Vader, Boba, Luke. Just awesome.

With Grogu going to train with Luke I am interested to see where Season 3 will go. I imagine it will be all about Mandalore and reclaiming it and where the whole conflict over the Darksaber will go. Its going to be a little weird to lose Mando and Grogu´s relationship, but I would think 3 seasons of Mando running around trying to find someone to give Grogu to would get boring, but I do hope we get to see Grogu again. Maybe have Mando visit Lukes academy.

Pretty sure the next season is going to be Boba Fett taking over Jabba the Hutt's old gang. Or, poking around the internet, Book of Boba Fett is its own show that will premiere alongside Mandolorian Season 3? That's weird.

Yeah I am pretty sure Boba is getting his own show. The Mandolorian is about Din so I would hope it would continue to follow him.

I thought they were going to start changing it up, making Mandolorain a bit of an anthology, which I thought was kind of a baller move to be honest. But I went out to prove it and so far everything supports what you're saying, two separate series with Moff Gideon being part of season 3 and, as you stated, it being about reclaiming Mandalore. I guessed wrong.

Honestly I thought it was going to be like an actual book so cant blame you for being a bit confused.

And now that Season 2 is over I think this was this an amazing season. We got Ahsoka, Bo-Katan, Boba Fett, and Luke making an appearance. We got to see a Krayt dragon, dark troopers, and finally learned who Grogu was. Some killer fight scenes. And even the ¨filler episodes¨ were pretty fun. Just a great season and I am so excited for Season 3.

No, because it wasn't some outburst. He threatened to turn his sister to the Dark Side. There's a vast fucking difference between attacking your warmongering fascist dad--who you're fighting btw--for threatening your sister and trying to kill your nephew in his sleep because you had a dream about him destroying everything and everyone you love.

Stop defending the Sequels for their shitty writing.

That was a really good episode, i quite enjoyed it.

One big gripe i have with it is the whole "Oh she has to get the darksaber in combat!" thing. I thought that was dumb, from what i remember Bo Katan was given the darksaber in rebels at one point and she was fine with it. Also no one in that room would care, none of them, even the other mandalorian chick with Bo i imagine. Just take it and stop being dumb. It would have been ever dumber if they actually started fighting one another.

Dark troopers were cool, though i wish we got to see them in action more against Mando and his team. The fight with Gideon was well done too, i liked it. Short and Sweet. I kind of wish that the stakes were a bit higher, they all came through it unscathed and the only ones who got shot got shot in their impervious armour and didnt take any substantial injuries. Where as the ending of season 1 had multiple injuries and a character die.

Luke was awesome, i didnt think they would actually bring him into the show, and normally i would be annoyed by having more and more established characters pop up in the show i thought they did this well. Though the CGI was obvious as hell, i thought the CGI faces in Rogue One to be much better.

Also either Grogu dies at the temple when Kylo goes ham or he is absent at that time for whatever reason. I fully expect he will pop up again in the Mandalorian at some point and probably chooses to stay with him rather than become a jedi.

Might just be giving Boba a power base in case he comes back as a recurring character in the Mandalorian and other shows. Dont know if he will get his own.

I've complained about this as well, but keep in mind. Bo-Katan has lost Mandalore to her enemies four times by this point in her life. She's specifically lost it to the Empire twice. Maybe it's not that the Darksaber "should be won", but that Bo-Katan -in particular- has no standing to claim Mand'alor again after losing the Saber -given to her freely- once and losing the whole fucking planet four times.

Yeah fuck your tradition and your story and just take the saber!

Whats that meme? Reject Modernity embrace tradition or something? Do the opposite of that, take the damn laser sword already!
