December 20, 20205 yr Whose ship did Boba Fett park next to at the beginning when they went to talk to Bo-Katan? It looked familiar but I can’t recall where I saw it or whose it was.
December 20, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Nivek said: If I caught Gideon, and was going to make him a prisoner, breaking all of his fingers would be part of the deal. Does he replace his rifle? He still has some of the ammo. When Gideon talked about the DS and Bo was glaring at Mando my mind couldn’t help but wander to the Monte Python line about watery tarts. Cut off his hands and his dick just to be safe.

December 20, 20205 yr So, finally watched this tonight. The whole episode was excellent. When the X-Wing landed, and a Jedi stepped out, I knew who it was. And I was excited to see the reveal when they stepped onto the bridge. Absolute perfection.

Cant wait for next season. Mando is in quite the pickle with that sabre sitch. You weren't the only one. I saw the X-wing dock, the very obvious hood hiding the face, and the green lightsaber, and I found myself momentarily unable to speak. I was so, so, so fucking disappointed with the last two SW movies, I didn't want to let myself believe that the guy wrecking shop in that ships hallway was the Luke we all wanted to see. And then it was, and I was STOKED. God that was awesome.
December 20, 20205 yr The Rian Johnson deleted scenes had Luke throwing Grogu over his shoulder. Fin. Would love a (animated) special where the living characters sit around drinking while R2 recants the entire story starting with running the blockade off Naboo with Quigon.

December 20, 20205 yr Watching it again, I feel like Bo-Katan could have made sure that she explained the great importance that Moff Gideon absolutely had to surrender to her. It’s her fault really. Speak up.

I remember fucking loving that game Tie Fighter and Defender of the Empire are my all time favorite video games. Loved the Empire point of view, and loved the Imperial fighters.

December 20, 20205 yr That was awesome. I'm not as big a Star wars fan as my wife and she was completely losing her shit. Then she asked me to pull up a picture of Kathleen Kennedy on my phone, which I did and she proceeded to SPIT ON MY PHONE. Then she meekly apologized to me and said she couldn't help herself.
December 20, 20205 yr Author Yeah, she green-lit the show, hired Favreau, and promoted Filoni. If you rightfully criticized her for the ST, you have to give her credit for the Mandalorian.
December 20, 20205 yr 16 hours ago, Agent 13 said: This but I think earlier he had dropped it. Found himself near it during the fight, picked it up, used it. Yeah he dropped it when the first Dark Trooper hit him through the door and knocked him backwards. You can see it on the ground after he gets up. 15 hours ago, NorthLoop said: So will we get Sabine in Mando season 2 or in Ahsoka season 1? Either way they'd better cast someone super fucking hot. Seems like the most logical thing is that the Ashoka limited series will include Sabine and it will be about them searching for/finding Ezra with very likely some Thrawn crossover. Wouldn't surprise me if they bring back Ashoka to Mando one more time, introduce Sabine and then use that as the setup for the Ashoka series.
December 20, 20205 yr So is the thought that ahsoka found out Thrawn's location in Mandalorian s2 then comes epilogue of Rebels where goes and gets Sabine, then we'll have her own mini series where she goes and finds Thrown and Ezra?
December 20, 20205 yr Seems like Thrawn should be a big standalone series and not part of the Ashoka limited series which is only planned to be one season.
December 20, 20205 yr Author It will build up to a large scale Avengers type movie/series with the 3 factions (Rangers, Mandos, Ahsoka + Sabine) combining to fight Thrawn and rescue Ezra.

While possible, I wouldn’t be surprised if ezra snd thrawn joined forces out in wild space. Thrawn isn’t necessarily evil like the emperor. His is pragmatic and only joined the empire to protect his people from an unknown threat.

December 20, 20205 yr There’s some pretty game changing concepts in the Thrawn novels (which I loved) that could cause questions, similar to the light speed suicide mission in RoS. Edited December 20, 20205 yr by Buzzrock
December 20, 20205 yr Couldn’t figure out how to spoiler on mobile browser. Stuckmann’s S2 review is pretty good. I don’t have as much issue with the de-aging CGI as he does. It was pretty obvious when I first watched on a 90” screen, but subsequent viewings on normal sized TV didn’t make it look so bad.

If Luke had been recast, then there would just be something else for critics to bitch about so you might as well do what you want and move on.
December 20, 20205 yr My comment to my wife and kiddo was I wondered if Mark Hamill wouldn’t get rid of his facial hair and it caused problems like Henry cavils Superman reshoots.I had no problem with it but I also thought Tarkin looked amazing and Leia was pretty good in R1.
December 20, 20205 yr The gold standard IMO is Michael Douglas in Ant-Man, but I haven’t revisited that one in awhile.

The mouth has always been a problem, the Corridor Crew have talked about it in a lot of their breakdowns of various CGI effects. If they had went ahead and cast Sebastian Stan as a young Luke, that would have leaked out. And there is a very real possibility that they had a stand-in actor/stunt double for the bridge scenes, and none of the actors on the bridge would know who they were actually facing, other than "a Jedi".

She’s a zen master. Quote Several directors were considered, including David Fincher, Brad Bird, Jon Favreau, Ben Affleck, and Guillermo del Toro;] after a suggestion by Steven Spielberg to Kennedy, J. J. Abrams was named director in January 2013 Again the problem was they went in without a cohesive story for the trilogy and basically let the directors do what they wanted resulting in the convoluted shit show. People like to point at the Marvel method for success but that that point the Phase 1 individual films outside of Iron Man were only moderately successful even tho they culminated in one of the biggest movies of all time. Phase 2 then had 2 good movies and a disappointment in Age of Ultron. It wasn't until phase 3 where they hit their stride and had a consistent hit rate. Edited December 21, 20205 yr by Michael Knight

December 21, 20205 yr I just want to say fuck Grace Randolph. She's still doing this "Mandalorian is in trouble, issues with Pedro unresolved, Boba Fett show proves Mandolorian is taking a break!" This is the same shitty vlogger that claimed that Pedro was about to bail in season 2, so they rewrote the last 4 episodes so that his character had little screentime, and instead played up other characters. You know, the last four episodes. Episode 13 - He takes the child to Ahsoka, he helps Ahsoka speed up her time table throughout the city, kills Michael Bien, frees people, and he gets put on a quest with the child and is given the Beskar spear Episode 14 - He takes Grogu to Tython, and half the episode is focused on him running around trying to either protect Grogu from what he thought was a threat in Boba and Fennec, or getting through the force shield, then gets his ship destroyed, recovers the spear and The Ball, and Boba and Fennec swear their allegiance to him Episode 15 - Most of the episode is about him and Mayfeld getting into the Imperial complex, and is focused on him letting his guard down (i.e. no Mando armor and helmet) and developing him a lot farther along (i.e. proving he'll do anything to save Grogu). Episode 16 - Hmmm...he goes and convinces Bo Katan to join them, he is the only one who fights a Dark Trooper besides Luke, he defeats the Big Bad Boss and wins the Darksaber, making him heir to the Mandalorian throne. And the episode itself ends with a long-ass goodbye between him and Grogu. Yeah Grace, they kind of fucked up taking Din out of the picture and playing up other characters instead. Maybe should have had Bo go toe-to-toe with a Dark Trooper instead, not to mention Gideon so that she wins the sword and goes back to Mandalore.
December 21, 20205 yr I found her box office takes interesting a lot of times, but she's decided that claiming her sources are 100% accurate is the hill she is going to die upon.
