I don't understand Ahsoka's character these days. Like Luke, she should be against the old jedi ways and instead look to make something better. Instead both her and Luke suddenly desire to follow the old ways of "attachments bad", which makes no sense! Ahsoka left the order and Luke disobeyed Yoda, yet now they want to push his ideals? Also, why didnt Luke build the temple himself? Why the antdroids? Overall, I majorly dislike the treatment of previous force users and how the jedi are handled in Disney's hands.
Ashoka I would say is definitely Dave wanting ot make her more important than she is but yeah Luke assignation is just atrocious and I think the worst part is the writers dont even realize it. They think people just want jedi master Luke and nothing more so they have him repeat the same jedi nonsense as before like he learned nothing
Yeah. Also this “Choose to be a Jedi or Follow your attachments” decision that the old republic use to instill upon their jedi knights was exactly why they lost the war in the first place. This self destructive teaching is directly what led to the creation of the galaxies most powerful threat: Darth Vader. Anikin being forced to choose between the order and his family was a big reason as to why he changed into the heartless monster he became. But, Vader decided to disobey a direct order and killed (Sort of) Palpatine and for what? To save his son. He changed to good because he grew the desire to save a close connection to him and saved the galaxy from Palpatine’s tyranny. I’d find it rather odd if Luke Skywalker decided to repeat the mistakes of the old republic and run the risk of unintentionally creating another foe like Vader. It would be a huge step back for Luke OR Asoka to suddenly just forget this fact and bastardizes their characters. Correct me if you think I’m wrong.
she's a 'strong female disney character'... meaning she's not a character she's a plot device who will do whatever the writers need her to do to set up the next action scene...
Correct. That was literally her entire arc and what made her a fantastic character. It's difficult to understand why Dave would want to assassinate his own characters.
@@theultimateuchihaderp3311 I completely agree with you! But it makes me think, is all of this just horrible writing or is it horrible writing that tries to justify the sequels? Because in theory Kylo would be the “new Vader” that you referenced them making, even though the movies don’t justify his turn at all. Also, it’s super sad either way. If they had made Luke a good teacher then it just becomes sour because if all leads to TLJ regardless
Jango was pretty involved in the training process of his clones, and it was pretty smart to live in one of the most unknown areas of the Galaxy, given his occupation. Also it allowed his son to grow up surrounded by water.
Jango was smart to live in one of the most unknown areas in the galaxy. He was astonishingly dumb to use weaponry like saber darts that are unique to that planet that will 100% certainly fall into the hands of people that will come looking for you.
@@garrusvakarian8666 It was also utterly idiotic for Count Dooku to involve Jango in the assassination plot against Padme given the fact Jango is who ALL of the Clone Troopers are based on. That was one of the many red-flags the Jedi didn't investigate for no other reason than to move the contrived plot forward.
I know a painting company that does this. It is a very kind thing that the owner does to help people just getting out of jail. Heck of a thing for Boba to do.
Honestly Jay’s idea of an all encompassing Star Wars show would be quite neat. It could be a twilight zone style anthology show where each episode is a separate story that is about a different character(s). And not main characters like the Skywalkers, it should be about randoms throughout the galaxy showing how different lives in the universe function. One week you can focus on a smuggler during the galactic civil war and then the next you can flash all the way back to focus on a Jedi during the days of the old republic. It would be so cool and can help so much with world building and show us elements we don’t see enough of in the main line stuff
So The Clone Wars but spread across a longer timeline, why haven’t they done this already? I mean I don’t want them to, with their track record the execution would be atrocious, but it could be really cool if done well.
He's a crime lord now. Yay. What a transformation of the character. Well done. I'm just amazed that a character who owns their own starship, and is used to traveling the galaxy for work, would settle down in a sh*thole and be boss of a dung heap.
It is impossible for me to take deaths in star wars seriously anymore. "someone's dying, quick use force heal. There's no jedi? Then quick make robo-organs. There's no cyberpunk twats? Then let's blow up the planet, they'll come back stronger."
"Spice is enslaving and killing our people." "Hey, weren't you with those sand raiders who enslave or kill everyone they see?" "Yes. I really liked them... What's your point?"
Luke having Yoda's lightsaber makes way more sense than that broad in the force awakens having Anakin's lightsaber, which literally fell from the upper atmosphere where cloud city is, down to the surface of Bespin and somehow survived. Meanwhile in the clone wars Obi Wan's lightsaber stops working after it bumps a rock when they fall into a cave.
@@apassionatenerd.3564 keep in mind that bespin is a cloud giant, so it fell into the planets gravity until it was literally crushed into nothingness as far as finding it again is concerned.
Mauler: “on another show I was on someone commented a superchat….so watch that show too! Bcuz I’m so busy with all these side projects to work on other projects”
@@soyuzdavillan721 so rags & fringy & mauler watch the show first, then they add the other two guys and watch it again? Even tho they act like it is a first viewing?
I found that really bizarre. Like what exactly did he do to earn that response? It feels alot like the writers speaking instead of the characters speaking if you know what I mean.
YEP. All of that to finally get baby Yoda to a Jedi, the greatest Jedi ever…PSYCH We need to sell more LEGO sets. look the Mandaloriaann! And baby Yodaaa! Together on adventuresss! On a Naboo star fighterrrrr!
You know what makes the most sense. Boba fett died in the sarlacc pit. A clone storm trooper that was also eaten found his body, took his armor, and escaped. Explains why he looks like boba but acts nothing like him.
Hey Mauler & Friends … ! I dunno if I mentioned this in the Fett Finale review, but apparently Jabba’s Palace is 85-miles away from Mos Espa.. So when Boba flies off to get the Rancor, he clearly Rides it back the entire distance… but Rancor top run speed is around 30-mph… meaning it’d take Boba nearly 3-Hours to get back and defeat the Assault Droids etc, and save everyone !? Even if you grant the Rancor a ludicrous 85-mile an hour run speed… it’d still be an Hour back. But how long did the Writers expect us to believe the Farmers of Freetown / Vespa Kids were holding out behind that flimsy wall, etc ?! 🧐
In the show the palace is a short walk away. I'm not pulling that from anywhere, that's how they portray it. Who cares what's been established before, they need to be close now.
@@Pink.andahalf uhh, where do you think it’s ‘shown’ that its a ‘short distance’ from Mos Espa (in the show) ?? Remember - 85 miles IS short by Jetpack, Speeder, or Spaceship. It only appears problematic when the Writers have Boba riding a Rancor for all of that distance 😗…
I was reminded of Batman: Under the Red Hood, in which Jason Todd masterfully uprooted Black Mask's well established crime network through *targeted assassinations* and *fear* while maintaining a *cool cowboy aesthetic*. You'd think Boba Fett would be good at capturing something similar.
Luke was long since dead but his "reject attachment" choice is beating the horse. Luke's journey was about embracing attachments and learning to properly direct his feelings towards doing good. What the FUCK!?
Yeah, that's not how Luke would REFORM the Jedi Order. He's supposed to LEARN from the mistakes of the past, and despite it working for centuries, the FALL of the Jedi Order came about because they distanced themselves from the world. Luke would be FUNDAMENTALLY opposed to leaving behind your family to become a Jedi. HE DIDN'T! He didn't defeat the Empire and then immediately fuck off. He partied with his sister whom he just found out about, Han's his best buddy, and the Force Ghosts of Yoda, Obi Wan and HIS FATHER who his attachment to saved the galaxy, why did they just decide he fucked off ALONE, except Ahsoka and R2 for some reason, and just doesn't want to talk to anyone he knew anymore? Yes, THE OLD Jedi Order shunned attachments, and they did have their reasons for doing that, but Luke doesn't have to make THAT Jedi Order.
It's interesting that Yoda offered Luke his way. He didn't force Luke to go down that path. He said, "This is the way to produce the results you're looking for. If you want them, follow me." But then his Return of the Jedi lines don't make sense with my interpretation.
Thanks to this show I will never again ask a franchise to elaborate on its cool, mysterious side characters. Lucas unceremoniously killing him off was more respectful and dignified than this.
The way you stay cool and mysterious, is by not elaborating. Like every time they make a spin off series/ movie based on a character who is popular but not given more screen time, they ruin it.
Ahsoka didn't want to train Grogu because she says it wasn't her choice...but it could have been her choice to take Grogu off of Mando's hands and take Grogu to Luke which is something she could have done ever since Mando S2 E5 sparing him all of the trouble he would have in the future, and it would have assured Grogu's safety and he would have gotten to Luke no problem. So, in short, Ahsoka is a senseless prick who does whatever she wants because of how she feels about the Jedi even if it means sacrificing her own common sense, because she's salty because the Jedi expelled her. Cool.
@@sparkypack Also on a side note, how does Ahsoka know that setting baby Yoda on the rock will automatically send Luke to him? Wouldn't that be risky because someone will sense his presence? Maybe someone who isn't allied with the Jedi? Maybe someone who's a dark side agent? Maybe someone who wants to kill him because hes special? come to think of it, that was the worst choice Ahsoka could have made, especially considering she didn't GO WITH THEM... Ahsoka's stupid.
I think this assumes that she'd known Luke personally and knew he was looking to train jedi at that time. What does this have to do with being salty about the jedi expelling her? Does she personally show support in the jedi as a concept? How would Ahsoka know Grogu's safety would be a legit issue?
@@Dagenspear 1) I would assume that too but then again I'm not sure because Ahsoka just tells Mando to place Grogu on the stone and a "Jedi" will sense his presence. She never specified if Luke was the Jedi she was referring to, instead she assumingly just told Mando to expect someone friendly when saying a "Jedi". If Ahsoka didn't know Luke at the time, then why would she just send Mando and Grogu to some stone where she says a Jedi will find them, especially during a time where the Jedi are extinct, and Luke is the only known one? Who else could she have been referring to? Ezra isn't here so Hes not coming, Yoda's dead so he isn't coming. It doesn't make any sense unless Ahsoka knew Luke and just didnt say his name, which is also stupid because Mando would definitely want clarification on who he should expect to pick up Grogu. And then if Ahsoka did know Luke then it raises the question again as to WHY THE CRAP did Ahsoka not take Grogu to Luke right then and spare Mando and Grogu the trouble? It doesn't make any sense and it makes Ahsoka look REALLY dumb. We can't infer if Ahsoka did or didnt know Luke at this point. 2) Ahsoka left the Jedi basically because she could no longer agree to their morals and she couldn't trust them. Essentially, she left also because they "were playing politics." all of this was after the Jedi expelled her because she was framed by another Jedi in a terrorist attack and then refused to join the Jedi again after being welcomed back. She supposedly still supports the Jedi as a concept but then again im not sure because Ahsoka is all over the place in terms of what she wants to do. When it came to being asked to train Grogu, she said she wouldn't train him because his feelings for Mando were too strong despite him being a literal baby. She also says she's seen what feelings can do to a full trained Jedi Knight (clearly referring to Anakin." even though his feelings weren't what turned him evil.) So Ahsoka refuses to train Grogu outright even though hes a baby and she could start to train him to let go of his feelings as opposed to just saying "No im not going to help in anyway whatsoever other than simply telling Mando and Grogu to go somewhere else." Ahsoka wasn't even willing to risk training Grogu but instead not help him at all which if anything puts him on more danger and we know a Jedi would never act that way. (The Jedi were reluctant to train Anakin but hes a different story than Grogu.) 3) Ahsoka just assuming Grogu would be safe was retarded on her part especially considering her character has been shown to care very deeply about people and their safety. Ahsoka just simply telling Mando and Grogu to go someplace even when we have established that Grogu is being tracked by multiple people that either want to capture or kill him, the Empire is still around and is actively trying to capture Grogu as well and Ahsoka doesnt know Mando personally or how long he will be able to protect Grogu before being killed. It seems like a very smart move to just go with Mando until he reaches Luke just so she can ensure that Grogu is safe. Its seems like it would be a no-brainer, but instead Ahsoka doesnt go with them and Grogu is captured in the very next episode...her character is pretty stupid.
And if Luke were in character, you'd think he'd be pretty cheesed about what Ahsoka said to Mando when he came to visit. If she had let Mando see Grogu and hand over his beskar handkerchief, then _maybe_ Grogu would want to leave. Maybe. Instead, with just one conversation, she singlehandedly _guaranteed_ that either Grogu would leave, or he'd stay and any master/apprenticeship they had would be about as sturdy as a house of cards. But, since we're dealing with Jake Skywalker, instead he tells the _literal_ _baby_ that he can only have the gift his surrogate dad trusted them to deliver if he leaves forever and abandons the training that Mando (and others) risked life and limb to arrange for him.
The way people walk up and enter and exit in this show reminds me of how they do in musical theatre. As someone who has experience has a performer in many musicals this is how we do entrances. Someone walks on to the set from either side of the stage or from behind a set piece already onstage. It's vet simple and works for live theatre but as someone familiar with this concept and why it works in my field I understand it doesn't work in actual high production TV shows. The way people appear randomly by walking onto the set feels like it's written by someone who is directing a live musical theatre type show
Honestly, in regards to what the hell Luke did those 5 years Growing up with the EU haha, he's got a restored Jedi order by this point, badass wife, insanely powerful by this point.. it was basically everything youd expect from Luke, and was hailed as a hero But no now we get hobo Luke with one student and a hut destined to shit the bed
“We can’t abandon the town so we must stay and endanger the town and ourselves” “If we don’t corner ourselves here we will eventually get cornered” Let’s see here.. Ridiculous amounts of plot armor. A chase scene between a vehicle going 6 mph and a vehicle going 20 mph that lasts several minutes. Characters who went to the Prometheus school of running away from things. Stupid characters who turn out to be right even though they are actually wrong. Bad choreography and editing. Big cgi fight. One of the greatest finales of all time.
"There's only like three of you." Its all so annoying now. Mandalore in The Old Republic lore was this faction that challenged the Jedi with a blockade, preventing resources from the outer rim from reaching the core worlds. They were kind of a big deal prior to the MMO's starting point. Is Tor even canon now? Then in the Clone Wars Mandalore was peaceful, denouncing their warrior ways, speaking in the senate for a thousand worlds. So it makes sense that when the Empire came, that Mandalore was bombed to the high heavens, due to their pacifistic nature being a challenge to the Empire(?), thereby subjugating those thousand worlds. The Mandalorians in the Clone Wars were outcasts, their numbers always being something of an unknown. Now there's three, because... too many decided to eat or showed their faces??? The leader of the Mandalorians in the Clone Wars, showed his face all the time, because he was infiltrating either a part of the Mandalore military or government. (i don't remember which.) Is the Clone Wars still canon? It will be interesting though. Remaking Knights of the old republic... In which a companion was a Mandalorian... who didn't wear his armor or helmet... Which then brings in Mandalorian Lore of KOTOR, being that Revan obtained the helmet of the Mandalore (leader) and hid it, so that the Mandalorians would never have a leader again... because the helmet served the role that is now filled by the Dark saber. A helmet that Revan returned after a long search on an icy planet, in the novel that follows after KOTOR 2. Is KOTOR still canon btw, must be if they're Remaking it, instead of reimagining it. Between the Disney Lore purge and the moment to moment retcons, keeping up with Star Wars lore is like a massive headache. Also, hi Rags...
To be fair, it has been established before that there are different sects of Mandalorians, and that these guys are crazy zealots, who are completely focused on the old ways compared to others
The only things that are canon post-Disney acquisition are the films, The Clone Wars show (2008), and the new books, comics, games, etc. released since then. As far Mando world building, it goes something like this: In TCW, the new Mando govt is pacifist and Death Watch wants to return the planet to its warrior past. Darth Maul and Death Watch kill Satine and take over the planet. The Republic, which becomes the Empire not long after, takes over after defeating Maul. Now, I didn't watch Rebels, but I do know that the Dark Saber found its way to Bo Katan, so she become the leader of the Mandalorians Then the Purge mentioned in Mando happens and the survivors are scattered around the galaxy. Some members of Death Watch become the group that saves Mando, becoming more cultlike, and Bo Katan apparently still has a faction of her own that adheres to the original philosophy from TCW. The thing about the Darksaber having to be won in combat becomes an explanation of why Bo Katan failed, since it was given to her by one of the Rebels crew and she didn't win it in a fight with Maul or any other prior wielder of it. That should cover it, I think.
Nor any Kotor games, books, comics, nor the Old Republic mmo are canon. TOR is its OWN canon. Doesnt fit Disney, doesnt fit (in its later expansions since Ziost) Legends either. Its completely retarded, but there you go. What Disney has done with Kotor-era up until now has been a big nothingburger and constant changes. Like including Malachor or Darth Bane but neither resembles the way they were in EU.
Regarding the combat in context, it's like an RPG quest being "I need bear skins. Adventurer, go kill 5 Bears," or "You have to go to the wizard's tower in the forest, clear a path for your friends." You end up fighting 5 bears either way, but in one you you fight because you were told to, the other you have an actual overarching motivation. Should be accompanied an actual story line where you learn what the tower is and why you need it, but for world building is fine too.
When I played with my Star Wars Lego sets as a kid, I never let any of the good guys die, and characters like Boba Fett that were cool-looking also became good guys. I'd bring in characters from other IPs, even if they looked out of place, and make up stories of how they fit in the world. Looking at that battle in the finale brought me back to that time in a way i never expected.
Next season: Cad Bane, after being saved by cybernetic augmentations, flies off and receives Jedi training from Luke, who appreciates his attitude toward personal attachments.
Favreau's Boba Fett is akin to a pro wrestler. For some reason, the long established heel Boba Fett is suddenly the good guy with good guy principles, all because they're probably gonna build up another bigger, badder guy. Hell, that's pretty much BoBF in general.
The best one to tell Luke how terrible his idea at the end of episode 6 of BoBF was, and how important allowing attachment is even for a jedi, would honestly be force-ghost Hayden Christensen. He knows first hand how it can feel to be robbed of the connections most important to you, and he lost his mother and wife because helping them or being with them would have been against the jedi code. And we would get some possibly emotional scenes between father and son. But for some reason the people in charge don't think about what they are doing, or don't care.
I just realized another "we don't even remember our own plot" hole. The Pike Syndicate operator tells Boba they are "paying protection money" to a fucking group of bikers. Now apparently the fucking directer never bothered to look them up, cause the Pike Syndicate is on the same level of power as the Hut Cartel.... So why the flying fuck would one of their operators be paying ransom money to a bunch of random bikers? And it gets better cause we get to the last episode and the PS sends out 50 men, Cad Fucking Bane, and 2 of the most expensive battle droids ever to be created just to kill Boba.......... But did nothing to stop the bikers....... This is what happens to a story line when the director is also the writer and there is nobody to proof read.
Wasn’t that just a lie? The whole thing about paying protection money. I thought that was just the guy lying to Boba in order to both frame the biker gang for the death of the Tuskans and to have an excuse for not paying the protection money and to avoid the conflict of refusing to pay outright while also shifting the blame for not paying on the biker gang. That was my interpretation of events based on what we learn later from Cad Bane. However it is still stupid because there is no need to lie to Boba when they could have just killed him right there. He was alone, they have guards, and they either already had killed his Tuskan family or were planning to, so why leave him as a loose end? Why not just kill him as soon as he shows up or kill him as he was leaving? None of it makes any sense.
I just love how undeveloped the “crime” is for this “crime lord” show. just needed to copy Batman Begins. Batman taking on the mob was much smarter and realistic than this bullshit.
It would also help if they also bothered to establish why he wants to be a Crimelord or even remotely cares about what happens to Tatootine in the first place as well.
Regarding "Boba getting old" *Temeura Morrison* is getting old. Remember, this takes place shortly after Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett was no more than 10 in Attack of the Clones, because that's how long the cloning project had been commissioned. So he's more like 9. Give it a couple years for Luke and Leia to be born, and then in New Hope, Luke is like, newly adult, whos' talking about college. Then a couple more years to get to Return of the Jedi, when he goes into the Sarlaac. At most, Fett is in his late 30s when he gets out of the Sarlaac. Then a few years to get to The Mandalorian, so he's in his early 40s. Maybe Tom Brady's age. If they have advanced medicine and pharmaceuticals, and there is something for to the armor besides some kind of unbreakable metal, Boba Fett should not remotely be considered old. In the Expanse, life expectancy is about 120
I'm late, I know. But I've researched A LOT of star wars lore, to include the mandalorians, the dark saber, etc. Firstly, the bit with helmet removal being "sacriledge" is made up bullshit. The darksaber grants the right to rule to ANYONE who bests the previous wielder, mandalorian or not. Which is weird, but ok. Mandalorians used to be a race, but got virtually wiped out by the Jedi a long ass time ago so they inducted new people via traditions and gave them the name "Madalorian". Helmet on or off has never been a thing. The title of "Mandalore" is granted when the helmet of the first "Mandalore" is found and worn by a mandalorian, and they have the right to change/adjust rituals and traditions, basically the King. There hasnt been a Mandalore in roughly 2 thousand years. Also, fuck this dumbass show and its lack of character, terrible dialogue, and shameful representation of beloved characters. LUKE ABOLISHED most of the dumbass old Jedi traditions like the no attachment thing because, as an example, that is one of the major reasons why Darth Vader came into being. That and Ashoka went the route of the "Gray" Jedi, which most argue is the true balance in the force as it embraces emotion and attachment as part of every life, but tempers it with discipline and understanding. Which is somewhat what Qui Gon Jin was arguing for, but thats neither here nor there. God they really fuck everything they touch don't they?

I love Cad Bane. He's one of my favorite Star Wars characters. And I liked the way he was generally interpreted here. But no, his death was not satisfying. He was supposed to die to Boba in Clone Wars. In a deleted scene, the Boba killed him in a blaster duel like they did here, but they both hit each other at the same time. Boba just had armor. That was where he would've gotten the dent in his helmet. It was supposed to be the moment that Boba made a real name for himself. It also would've been more satisfying because Bane and Jango worked together for a while with Jango as sort of a mentor. Cad Bane was a legendary bounty hunter. The guy went toe-to-toe with two Jedi at once, up close and lived to tell the tale, escaped the most highly guarded prison in Coruscant, successfully held a dozen senators hostage in Anakin's Die Hard episode, and broke into the Jedi temple and stole a Holocron that lead to all the force-sensitive children. The guy's a total badass that's shown to be more competent than almost anyone in the series. I had a similar reaction to some of the dorks in that montage when he showed up, even though the rest of the show wasn't working for me too much. And now he dies in a quick fight with Boba that made him look like some slouch hand-to-hand. Tragic.
As I have said several times to other commentators, saying the way Bane died (or 'died', rather) in BoBF is bad writing, because he is shown to be an omnicompetent murder man in TCW because of....uh, equally poor writing, isn't really the route you should be going here. Trying to pretend Bane managing to beat Jedi 1v1, and survive against 2 at once and nearly fucking winning, and therefore him losing to a senile geriatric is garbage, is sort of like saying that, I dunno, Rey losing to Black Widow in the inevitable crossover movies that will come in the next few decades is 'poor writing', because, I mean, gosh guys, don't you know? She's beaten Kylo Ren and Emperor Palpatine before, god. #NotMyStarWars, amirite? Its...not technically wrong, but, uh....
@@papapalps2415 he's certainly not omnicompetent. His plans get foiled several times, he gets captured occasionally, including the time wound up in prison in the first place and the time he got put back in not long after. He also gets his ass kicked by Fennec Shand in Bad Batch, unfortunately.... At least he put up a good fight there. I'm just saying, that often times in Star Wars, the villain of the week fails so frequently you start to wonder why they're a threat to begin with *cough, cough* grievous *cough*. Cad Bane is shown to be very competent (but not omnicompetent) because he has several great wins that go along with good attempts that end in failure. That's what made him a good foil. He wins some. He loses some, but either way, he's going to be a challenge-hand-to-hand or otherwise.
@Knox2Don Thats nice sweetie. And just like the other randoms, you get the same offer; feel free to explain how Bane being able to take on and nearly kill multiple, legendary Jedi at the same time and not just survive, but nearly win, is supposed to, in any way, qualify as anything but 'hilarious, laughable garbage'.
You know whats really sad? Making the gamoreans intimidating is as easy as giving them big fuck of guns, stuff thats usually mounted on vehicles also give them some armor ffs.
Cad bane was such an awesome fucking villain in clone wars and he goes out like a random goon with no actual triumph for boba or thematic ending for cad other than “he’s bad and now he’s dead”
Cad Bane, the expert gun-for-hire who took on Clone Wars (pretty much peak) Obi-Wan in a close-range duel that was almost hand-to-hand distance, and Obi-Wan struggled against him. One of the most legendary bounty hunters in the entire galaxy, one who infiltrated the Jedi Temple undetected and got away with it, the Jedi only knowing who it was because his accomplice turned informant, and he dies in a couple of swings to a cringe and weaksauce Boba Fett. What a fucking embarassment, that's all I can say. I don't normally like using such strong language, but I'm so frigging annoyed Cad Bane dies like _that_
This show had character assassination to an absurd degree, not TLJ level but pretty damn close. Silver lining though is that many people are calling it out on it, also I may be in the minority but I’ve had more than enough of Grogu for a lifetime and he’s honestly worn out his welcome by now.
@@bigwinz I have been wanting Grogu to get a spanking for what he did to that frog lady's children, but I'm sure if Din tried that, Grogu would crush his skull from inside his helmet.
Even one of Boba's seismic charges could not unclog this mess of a show. There it sits, stewing at the top of the Disney dung heap, just as Boba himself, surrounded by water; smiling, the poor thing. We will need Mr. Drinker's Toilet Duck for a multi-purpose application here. A swig onto the funeral pyre of a beloved character and one to drown our misery...
"I don't torture" *Literally his last mission capturing Han, giving him to Vader specifically to be tortured and not giving a shit about it, then freezing him alive and giving him to Jabba as a trophy* Yeah, sure you don't. He should've said "I have a better idea. Let's make them useful. You two serve me now." Like no offers, no debates, just "You are mine" cause he just knows they won't dare fuck with him. MUCH more in character.
Ok this pisses me off cause they do this a LOT. Boba, for some reason, has this stick up his ass about how the sands BELONG to the Tuskans. It is their HOME, they have lived there since the oceans dried. Apparently this planet with TWO suns somehow had oceans in the past? Whatever, fuck. So he's mad at these lame moped mobsters for trying to take THEIR HOME. THEY DO NOT HAVE A HOME! THEY HAVE TERRITORY! THIS IS NATURE! IF YOU CANNOT PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY, YOU DO NOT GET TO KEEP IT! Homes are a product of civilizations that form laws and regulations and shit! So if you come into MY home, punch me in the face and throw me out, I can call the POLICE and they will come in, cuff you, and then lock your ass up in jail while I take my HOME back. Because as a singular society we have rules that must be followed. THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO RANDOM TRIBAL RAIDERS ROAMING A DESERT! If they can't defend a given area, they LEAVE and find a safer area they CAN control! They're CLEARLY nomadic until they capture a territory they can settle in. They don't build CITIES, the best they've had is large CAMPS. They aren't interested in mingling with the rest of the people of Tatooine, they wanna do their own thing, which sometimes includes kidnapping and torturing people let's remember, which as we've been told BOBA FETT DOESN'T TORTURE PEOPLE. That means they need to abide by NATURE'S law. They don't GET to own property. ANY property. That requires they follow certain rules of civilization, which they have decided to oppose. So if someone with a bigger stick comes along, they move out or die defending their territory, that's how it WORKS and that is how THEY want it to be. This "they own the sands" shit is nonsensical WOKE crap. "They were here first" is not an argument for anything.
1 - They wrote Luke like a complete asshole. Also what is the point of having him build the temple from scratch on some nowhere planet with no resources? If only we had a planet that conveniently had a lot of ancient temple structures lying around that Luke could use which was previously a Rebel stronghold. What's this Yavin IV? Never heard of it. What is this "New Hope" movie you speak about? Is it like Force Awakens? 2- Boba Fett has turned into my 90 year old grandmother and its disgusting. 3 - the only thing worth it in this show is 5 minutes of the episode with mando just walking around doing his day job. Why is it so hard for them to write something at all competent or interesting? There should be so much you can do with this premise even if you just steal from the Expanded Universe material. Talon Kaarde, the Black Sun, the Exchange... 4- Stop trying to make the Dark Saber a thing, Dave. Its stupid. I can't believe I'd ever think of Karen Traviss as a positive example, but her mary sue writing of Mandalorians is still way better than this trash. They actual code of honor they had before made at least a bit of sense.
Why didn't Mando also recruit the Tuskens who worked alongside Freetown? That would open the way to some payoffs that were just left on the table. Filoni and Favreau didn't even play the cards they had to work with.
They mentioned it but I think its a bit undercriticized that they literally pulled the stick they used in the trash compactor out as a gag reference. Are they going to bring back the vine that Luke jumped over in Dagoba as a reference? What qualifies as something they aren't willing to use as cheap referential material? Edit: They literally reference the Dagoba training run. I fucking cant.
They need to reference the patron at the Mois Eisely Cantina drinking liquids through the top of his head from the Star Wars Christmas Special Show! ....oh wait, is that not part if the OT anymore? #MilkItDry
I've watched this four times now. It's become the standing soundtrack of choice for my house, just as the Unbridled Rage for The Long Night once played about a hundred times straight whilst I merrily chanted along with the bristling baritone narration. Listening to this Efap maxi while under anesthesia during the worst of surgeries would just make the experience a glorious sweet dream. The audio from this should be playing in all elevators, constantly. Also I want this madcap treatment for the absolute flood of fake gushy Galactic Starcruiser videos and reviews that are about to drown all of us. I want this panel of festive assassins to execute Order 66 on the shills and absolutely destroy the Halcyon, like Vi tearing off Sevika's shimmertech arm and launching her upside-down into the jukebox. You guys are friggin' awesome. 🥂
I will say when I saw Cad Bane come on screen, I had an audible reaction. I went “No. No fucking way. No fucking way they’re bringing Cad Bane in to the show.” And it wasn’t as loud as the people in the videos. But it was out loud. But it was because I was afraid. What are they gonna do to Cad Bane. How will they blow it? The show is so bad I can’t help but exclaim frustration out loud even if no one is there. And it’s in part due to the nonstop disappointments. TLJ, TROS, Solo, Mando, it’s been so consistently obviously bad for so long that it’s infuriating to see it just get worse and people eat it up. I used to make fun of people who said “clown world” but now I see the error in my ways. It is truly a clown world we live in now.
everytime I think of the Mandalorian I'm reminded how they, as a culture, went from full-body armor, to essentially sports gear. Even just in the show imagine if they used medieval full plate, or even roman segmentata, or full sized chainmail like they made for a baby. They would be appreciably more defended, and Mando's plot armor would be less needed...
Surprised that there was no mention of the fact that the Pyke Syndicate does not seem to own a spaceship. They move spice through gun trains and have their invading army arrive through public transportation.
The problem I have with Boba’s death isn’t the random back swing of Han’s into the pit, it’s that he jet packed onto the mini barge in the first place. If we complain about goons with guns closing the distance with our heroes to engage in melee, we should have a problem with this. Maybe there’s an idea in there, but the execution is pretty silly.
I think this is one of the rare scenes where closing the distance actually makes sense. Boba sees that Luke can deflect blaster bolts with his lightsaber so he gets in close to try to fire from a range where Luke won't have time to react. Luke disarms him before he has a chance to fire, so Boba immediately bails rather than staying in melee range. The main issue with this is that he's incredibly lucky that Luke didn't just cut him in half rather than destroying his blaster, and it's very strange that Boba is willing to put himself in this much personal danger just to kill Luke. After all, he's a mercenary, not a fanatic.
In lore, at least the old lore flamethrowers are very effective against force users. Nothing to deflect after all. So he may have been trying to go for that. As for why, well he may be just a merc but bagging an actual Jedi or the closest thing to one around would make him quite rich and famous. At the very least Jabba would reward him and word would spread about his feat. Remember that Boba was someone who earned a degree of respect from Darth Vader and you don’t get that without being daring and likely rather reckless.
@@zephyr8072 Yeah the flamethrower would have been the best bet in that situation, but it didn't look to me like he was trying to go for it. I suspect that they hadn't decided that the suit included a flamethrower until after that scene was filmed, because if he had a flamethrower, it would make sense for him to hover just outside of lightsaber range and spray fire at Luke. As for Boba's motive, you're probably right that he figured the combination of money and fame was worth the risk.
That old bearded snake Jedi you zoomed into when talking about Flaberse Galace was in the 2003 clone wars series and actually did say "THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!!!"
I can't wait for the Obi Wan Show, where he will meet up with strong British female character who will always be right and will constantly nut him every time they argue. Golly gosh, I'll clap, I'll clap when I see it.
This got me thinking…. Luke’s “attachments are bad rat” mentality is totally Ahsoka’s fault right? I’m not too familiar with her character outside of Mandalorian, but from what I’ve seen she holds to the old Jedi ways strongly, and Luke appears to rely on her for guidance a lot. A Dave Filoni OC sowing the seeds for Luke’s assassination, how unintentionally ironic and hilarious.
That's what's weird about it. Ahsoka is unique because she specifically walked away from the dogmatic order, which for the most part turned on her when she was framed for a bombing. You'd think she'd be a lot like post-Episode VI Luke (should've been), not necessarily condemning the Jedi, but wanting to move past the older tenets that worsened them.
@@hugehuman1 Couldn't bring myself to finish watching The Clone Wars, but yeah, from what I've seen, Ahsoka never was too keen on following the rules. The whole show is basically Anakin and Ahsoka breaking the rules while Obi-Wan sighs.
I will be spoiling the main thing that happens to Ahsoka in TCW, if anyone here cares about that. She is framed by a former friend for a terrorist attack on the jedi temple, and the Jedi council are quick to condemn her, and are about to expel her for her crimes, but anakin arrives in time with evidence to prove her innocence. In spite of this, ahsoka decides the jedi have lost their way and she leaves the Jedi order.
I didn't like how they used the friend. In the EU she never turn to the dark side and was a good person in the end. Spoiler The friend is the same character is the girl from the original Clone Wars 2D cartoon the green girl who fought with her master in the kyber Crystal Cave against the droids.
If they wanted Boba Fett to always have been secretly nice, all they needed to do was reveal that he had a wife and son, and he's just trying to provide for them using the only skillset he has. You can say that he worked for Jabba and the Empire because that's where the money is, and his priority is taking care of his family. He still wouldn't be a good guy, but his actions would be more understandable, and it would be easier to justify him becoming a good guy later.
Sorry but that final battle was the equivalent of me as a child playing wit my toys when I was 8 and doing something then thinking no I’m gonna have my good guy do this instead and changing my own rules as I go. Wtf so happy I watched this instead of watching the show
2:16:30 A year later and this whole fight scene still makes me crack up. Grabbing a gun just to pull out a knife and throw it. Absolute fucking comedy.
2:55:20 Me first watching that episode: Makes sense for him to be greedy, water is a precious commodity, makes sense why they'd steal it too. Eh. Me now: OH FRICKIN- THEY STOLE THAT WATER TO WASH THEIR DANG SPEEDERBIKES.
The Mandolorian helmet rule is the patient zero of stupid writing in these shows. It is a broken plot point that is perpetually referenced and cannot withstand any logical scrutiny.
Even the most militaristic and staunchly traditional cultures in the world don't give too much reverence to, what is essentially, a piece of metal that they all have in abundance of as a people. It's like that stupid flower thing in Black Panther, there's keeping traditions and values and then there's arbitrary enforcement of backwards logic. This feels like a 21st century Western man's attempt to depict what an ethnic culture is like.
@@YourHuckleberry99 Mando belongs to a particular group of religious fanatics who are definitely seen as a fringe weird cult by the rest of the Mandalorians.

I don't understand Ahsoka's character these days. Like Luke, she should be against the old jedi ways and instead look to make something better. Instead both her and Luke suddenly desire to follow the old ways of "attachments bad", which makes no sense! Ahsoka left the order and Luke disobeyed Yoda, yet now they want to push his ideals? Also, why didnt Luke build the temple himself? Why the antdroids? Overall, I majorly dislike the treatment of previous force users and how the jedi are handled in Disney's hands.
Ashoka I would say is definitely Dave wanting ot make her more important than she is but yeah Luke assignation is just atrocious and I think the worst part is the writers dont even realize it. They think people just want jedi master Luke and nothing more so they have him repeat the same jedi nonsense as before like he learned nothing
Yeah. Also this “Choose to be a Jedi or Follow your attachments” decision that the old republic use to instill upon their jedi knights was exactly why they lost the war in the first place. This self destructive teaching is directly what led to the creation of the galaxies most powerful threat: Darth Vader. Anikin being forced to choose between the order and his family was a big reason as to why he changed into the heartless monster he became. But, Vader decided to disobey a direct order and killed (Sort of) Palpatine and for what? To save his son. He changed to good because he grew the desire to save a close connection to him and saved the galaxy from Palpatine’s tyranny.
I’d find it rather odd if Luke Skywalker decided to repeat the mistakes of the old republic and run the risk of unintentionally creating another foe like Vader. It would be a huge step back for Luke OR Asoka to suddenly just forget this fact and bastardizes their characters. Correct me if you think I’m wrong.
she's a 'strong female disney character'... meaning she's not a character she's a plot device who will do whatever the writers need her to do to set up the next action scene...
Correct. That was literally her entire arc and what made her a fantastic character. It's difficult to understand why Dave would want to assassinate his own characters.
@@theultimateuchihaderp3311 I completely agree with you! But it makes me think, is all of this just horrible writing or is it horrible writing that tries to justify the sequels? Because in theory Kylo would be the “new Vader” that you referenced them making, even though the movies don’t justify his turn at all. Also, it’s super sad either way. If they had made Luke a good teacher then it just becomes sour because if all leads to TLJ regardless
Jango was pretty involved in the training process of his clones, and it was pretty smart to live in one of the most unknown areas of the Galaxy, given his occupation.
Also it allowed his son to grow up surrounded by water.
He knew his clone son is gonna grow up to one day flex his expertise in waterology.
Jango was smart to live in one of the most unknown areas in the galaxy. He was astonishingly dumb to use weaponry like saber darts that are unique to that planet that will 100% certainly fall into the hands of people that will come looking for you.
@@garrusvakarian8666 It was also utterly idiotic for Count Dooku to involve Jango in the assassination plot against Padme given the fact Jango is who ALL of the Clone Troopers are based on.

Honestly Jay’s idea of an all encompassing Star Wars show would be quite neat. It could be a twilight zone style anthology show where each episode is a separate story that is about a different character(s). And not main characters like the Skywalkers, it should be about randoms throughout the galaxy showing how different lives in the universe function.
One week you can focus on a smuggler during the galactic civil war and then the next you can flash all the way back to focus on a Jedi during the days of the old republic. It would be so cool and can help so much with world building and show us elements we don’t see enough of in the main line stuff
So The Clone Wars but spread across a longer timeline, why haven’t they done this already? I mean I don’t want them to, with their track record the execution would be atrocious, but it could be really cool if done well.

Hey Mauler & Friends … ! I dunno if I mentioned this in the Fett Finale review, but apparently Jabba’s Palace is 85-miles away from Mos Espa.. So when Boba flies off to get the Rancor, he clearly Rides it back the entire distance… but Rancor top run speed is around 30-mph… meaning it’d take Boba nearly 3-Hours to get back and defeat the Assault Droids etc, and save everyone !? Even if you grant the Rancor a ludicrous 85-mile an hour run speed… it’d still be an Hour back. But how long did the Writers expect us to believe the Farmers of Freetown / Vespa Kids were holding out behind that flimsy wall, etc ?! 🧐
In the show the palace is a short walk away. I'm not pulling that from anywhere, that's how they portray it. Who cares what's been established before, they need to be close now.
Nice addition! 👍
Source?
No, no, you're doing it wrong. No think. Only consume.
@@Pink.andahalf uhh, where do you think it’s ‘shown’ that its a ‘short distance’ from Mos Espa (in the show) ?? Remember - 85 miles IS short by Jetpack, Speeder, or Spaceship. It only appears problematic when the Writers have Boba riding a Rancor for all of that distance 😗…
I was reminded of Batman: Under the Red Hood, in which Jason Todd masterfully uprooted Black Mask's well established crime network through *targeted assassinations* and *fear* while maintaining a *cool cowboy aesthetic*. You'd think Boba Fett would be good at capturing something similar.
Luke was long since dead but his "reject attachment" choice is beating the horse.
Luke's journey was about embracing attachments and learning to properly direct his feelings towards doing good.
What the FUCK!?
Yeah, that's not how Luke would REFORM the Jedi Order. He's supposed to LEARN from the mistakes of the past, and despite it working for centuries, the FALL of the Jedi Order came about because they distanced themselves from the world.
Luke would be FUNDAMENTALLY opposed to leaving behind your family to become a Jedi. HE DIDN'T! He didn't defeat the Empire and then immediately fuck off. He partied with his sister whom he just found out about, Han's his best buddy, and the Force Ghosts of Yoda, Obi Wan and HIS FATHER who his attachment to saved the galaxy, why did they just decide he fucked off ALONE, except Ahsoka and R2 for some reason, and just doesn't want to talk to anyone he knew anymore?
Yes, THE OLD Jedi Order shunned attachments, and they did have their reasons for doing that, but Luke doesn't have to make THAT Jedi Order.
It's interesting that Yoda offered Luke his way. He didn't force Luke to go down that path. He said, "This is the way to produce the results you're looking for. If you want them, follow me."
But then his Return of the Jedi lines don't make sense with my interpretation.
The fucking ant robots building the temple is like aerospace engineers and Boston Dynamics robots building a grass hut in the woods.
Luke was too busy having his robot shoot at an infant.
Thanks to this show I will never again ask a franchise to elaborate on its cool, mysterious side characters. Lucas unceremoniously killing him off was more respectful and dignified than this.
The way you stay cool and mysterious, is by not elaborating. Like every time they make a spin off series/ movie based on a character who is popular but not given more screen time, they ruin it.
Ahsoka didn't want to train Grogu because she says it wasn't her choice...but it could have been her choice to take Grogu off of Mando's hands and take Grogu to Luke which is something she could have done ever since Mando S2 E5 sparing him all of the trouble he would have in the future, and it would have assured Grogu's safety and he would have gotten to Luke no problem. So, in short, Ahsoka is a senseless prick who does whatever she wants because of how she feels about the Jedi even if it means sacrificing her own common sense, because she's salty because the Jedi expelled her. Cool.
I thought the exact same thing.
She totally played Mando.
Ashoka: "look at this fool... he actually believed me and put Grogu on that rock" 🤣🤣🤣
@@sparkypack Also on a side note, how does Ahsoka know that setting baby Yoda on the rock will automatically send Luke to him? Wouldn't that be risky because someone will sense his presence? Maybe someone who isn't allied with the Jedi? Maybe someone who's a dark side agent? Maybe someone who wants to kill him because hes special? come to think of it, that was the worst choice Ahsoka could have made, especially considering she didn't GO WITH THEM... Ahsoka's stupid.
I think this assumes that she'd known Luke personally and knew he was looking to train jedi at that time.
What does this have to do with being salty about the jedi expelling her? Does she personally show support in the jedi as a concept?
How would Ahsoka know Grogu's safety would be a legit issue?
@@Dagenspear 1) I would assume that too but then again I'm not sure because Ahsoka just tells Mando to place Grogu on the stone and a "Jedi" will sense his presence. She never specified if Luke was the Jedi she was referring to, instead she assumingly just told Mando to expect someone friendly when saying a "Jedi". If Ahsoka didn't know Luke at the time, then why would she just send Mando and Grogu to some stone where she says a Jedi will find them, especially during a time where the Jedi are extinct, and Luke is the only known one? Who else could she have been referring to? Ezra isn't here so Hes not coming, Yoda's dead so he isn't coming. It doesn't make any sense unless Ahsoka knew Luke and just didnt say his name, which is also stupid because Mando would definitely want clarification on who he should expect to pick up Grogu. And then if Ahsoka did know Luke then it raises the question again as to WHY THE CRAP did Ahsoka not take Grogu to Luke right then and spare Mando and Grogu the trouble? It doesn't make any sense and it makes Ahsoka look REALLY dumb. We can't infer if Ahsoka did or didnt know Luke at this point.
2) Ahsoka left the Jedi basically because she could no longer agree to their morals and she couldn't trust them. Essentially, she left also because they "were playing politics." all of this was after the Jedi expelled her because she was framed by another Jedi in a terrorist attack and then refused to join the Jedi again after being welcomed back. She supposedly still supports the Jedi as a concept but then again im not sure because Ahsoka is all over the place in terms of what she wants to do. When it came to being asked to train Grogu, she said she wouldn't train him because his feelings for Mando were too strong despite him being a literal baby. She also says she's seen what feelings can do to a full trained Jedi Knight (clearly referring to Anakin." even though his feelings weren't what turned him evil.) So Ahsoka refuses to train Grogu outright even though hes a baby and she could start to train him to let go of his feelings as opposed to just saying "No im not going to help in anyway whatsoever other than simply telling Mando and Grogu to go somewhere else." Ahsoka wasn't even willing to risk training Grogu but instead not help him at all which if anything puts him on more danger and we know a Jedi would never act that way. (The Jedi were reluctant to train Anakin but hes a different story than Grogu.)
3) Ahsoka just assuming Grogu would be safe was retarded on her part especially considering her character has been shown to care very deeply about people and their safety. Ahsoka just simply telling Mando and Grogu to go someplace even when we have established that Grogu is being tracked by multiple people that either want to capture or kill him, the Empire is still around and is actively trying to capture Grogu as well and Ahsoka doesnt know Mando personally or how long he will be able to protect Grogu before being killed. It seems like a very smart move to just go with Mando until he reaches Luke just so she can ensure that Grogu is safe. Its seems like it would be a no-brainer, but instead Ahsoka doesnt go with them and Grogu is captured in the very next episode...her character is pretty stupid.
And if Luke were in character, you'd think he'd be pretty cheesed about what Ahsoka said to Mando when he came to visit. If she had let Mando see Grogu and hand over his beskar handkerchief, then _maybe_ Grogu would want to leave. Maybe. Instead, with just one conversation, she singlehandedly _guaranteed_ that either Grogu would leave, or he'd stay and any master/apprenticeship they had would be about as sturdy as a house of cards.
But, since we're dealing with Jake Skywalker, instead he tells the _literal_ _baby_ that he can only have the gift his surrogate dad trusted them to deliver if he leaves forever and abandons the training that Mando (and others) risked life and limb to arrange for him.
The way people walk up and enter and exit in this show reminds me of how they do in musical theatre. As someone who has experience has a performer in many musicals this is how we do entrances. Someone walks on to the set from either side of the stage or from behind a set piece already onstage. It's vet simple and works for live theatre but as someone familiar with this concept and why it works in my field I understand it doesn't work in actual high production TV shows. The way people appear randomly by walking onto the set feels like it's written by someone who is directing a live musical theatre type show
Honestly, in regards to what the hell Luke did those 5 years
Growing up with the EU haha, he's got a restored Jedi order by this point, badass wife, insanely powerful by this point.. it was basically everything youd expect from Luke, and was hailed as a hero
But no now we get hobo Luke with one student and a hut destined to shit the bed

Mandalore in The Old Republic lore was this faction that challenged the Jedi with a blockade, preventing resources from the outer rim from reaching the core worlds.
They were kind of a big deal prior to the MMO's starting point. Is Tor even canon now?
Then in the Clone Wars Mandalore was peaceful, denouncing their warrior ways, speaking in the senate for a thousand worlds.
So it makes sense that when the Empire came, that Mandalore was bombed to the high heavens, due to their pacifistic nature being a challenge to the Empire(?), thereby subjugating those thousand worlds.
The Mandalorians in the Clone Wars were outcasts, their numbers always being something of an unknown.
Now there's three, because... too many decided to eat or showed their faces???
The leader of the Mandalorians in the Clone Wars, showed his face all the time, because he was infiltrating either a part of the Mandalore military or government. (i don't remember which.)
Is the Clone Wars still canon?
It will be interesting though. Remaking Knights of the old republic...
In which a companion was a Mandalorian... who didn't wear his armor or helmet...
Which then brings in Mandalorian Lore of KOTOR, being that Revan obtained the helmet of the Mandalore (leader) and hid it, so that the Mandalorians would never have a leader again...
because the helmet served the role that is now filled by the Dark saber.
A helmet that Revan returned after a long search on an icy planet, in the novel that follows after KOTOR 2.
Is KOTOR still canon btw, must be if they're Remaking it, instead of reimagining it.
Between the Disney Lore purge and the moment to moment retcons, keeping up with Star Wars lore is like a massive headache.
Also, hi Rags...
To be fair, it has been established before that there are different sects of Mandalorians, and that these guys are crazy zealots, who are completely focused on the old ways compared to others
The only things that are canon post-Disney acquisition are the films, The Clone Wars show (2008), and the new books, comics, games, etc. released since then. As far Mando world building, it goes something like this:
In TCW, the new Mando govt is pacifist and Death Watch wants to return the planet to its warrior past. Darth Maul and Death Watch kill Satine and take over the planet. The Republic, which becomes the Empire not long after, takes over after defeating Maul. Now, I didn't watch Rebels, but I do know that the Dark Saber found its way to Bo Katan, so she become the leader of the Mandalorians Then the Purge mentioned in Mando happens and the survivors are scattered around the galaxy. Some members of Death Watch become the group that saves Mando, becoming more cultlike, and Bo Katan apparently still has a faction of her own that adheres to the original philosophy from TCW. The thing about the Darksaber having to be won in combat becomes an explanation of why Bo Katan failed, since it was given to her by one of the Rebels crew and she didn't win it in a fight with Maul or any other prior wielder of it.
That should cover it, I think.
Nor any Kotor games, books, comics, nor the Old Republic mmo are canon. TOR is its OWN canon. Doesnt fit Disney, doesnt fit (in its later expansions since Ziost) Legends either. Its completely retarded, but there you go. What Disney has done with Kotor-era up until now has been a big nothingburger and constant changes. Like including Malachor or Darth Bane but neither resembles the way they were in EU.
Aren't The Mandos like the reason shotguns exist in this universe. Motherfuckers went "blasters don't work on Jedi time for buck shot"

Fan service before story consistency amirite ?
@@fookinkoont what fan is that servicing?
I honestly think it has everything to do with shitty CGI Luke barely being able to emote in the first place
Regarding the combat in context, it's like an RPG quest being "I need bear skins. Adventurer, go kill 5 Bears," or "You have to go to the wizard's tower in the forest, clear a path for your friends."
You end up fighting 5 bears either way, but in one you you fight because you were told to, the other you have an actual overarching motivation. Should be accompanied an actual story line where you learn what the tower is and why you need it, but for world building is fine too.
When I played with my Star Wars Lego sets as a kid, I never let any of the good guys die, and characters like Boba Fett that were cool-looking also became good guys. I'd bring in characters from other IPs, even if they looked out of place, and make up stories of how they fit in the world. Looking at that battle in the finale brought me back to that time in a way i never expected.
It will never not be funny when Rags loses his shit over people eating chicken with gloves on.
Next season: Cad Bane, after being saved by cybernetic augmentations, flies off and receives Jedi training from Luke, who appreciates his attitude toward personal attachments.
Favreau's Boba Fett is akin to a pro wrestler. For some reason, the long established heel Boba Fett is suddenly the good guy with good guy principles, all because they're probably gonna build up another bigger, badder guy. Hell, that's pretty much BoBF in general.
I WISH they wrote Star Wars like good wrestling is booked

The best one to tell Luke how terrible his idea at the end of episode 6 of BoBF was, and how important allowing attachment is even for a jedi, would honestly be force-ghost Hayden Christensen.
He knows first hand how it can feel to be robbed of the connections most important to you, and he lost his mother and wife because helping them or being with them would have been against the jedi code.
And we would get some possibly emotional scenes between father and son.
But for some reason the people in charge don't think about what they are doing, or don't care.
I just realized another "we don't even remember our own plot" hole.
The Pike Syndicate operator tells Boba they are "paying protection money" to a fucking group of bikers. Now apparently the fucking directer never bothered to look them up, cause the Pike Syndicate is on the same level of power as the Hut Cartel.... So why the flying fuck would one of their operators be paying ransom money to a bunch of random bikers?
And it gets better cause we get to the last episode and the PS sends out 50 men, Cad Fucking Bane, and 2 of the most expensive battle droids ever to be created just to kill Boba.......... But did nothing to stop the bikers.......
This is what happens to a story line when the director is also the writer and there is nobody to proof read.
Wasn’t that just a lie? The whole thing about paying protection money. I thought that was just the guy lying to Boba in order to both frame the biker gang for the death of the Tuskans and to have an excuse for not paying the protection money and to avoid the conflict of refusing to pay outright while also shifting the blame for not paying on the biker gang.
That was my interpretation of events based on what we learn later from Cad Bane. However it is still stupid because there is no need to lie to Boba when they could have just killed him right there. He was alone, they have guards, and they either already had killed his Tuskan family or were planning to, so why leave him as a loose end? Why not just kill him as soon as he shows up or kill him as he was leaving? None of it makes any sense.
May the force be with you and make baby Banthas!

It would also help if they also bothered to establish why he wants to be a Crimelord or even remotely cares about what happens to Tatootine in the first place as well.
Regarding "Boba getting old" *Temeura Morrison* is getting old. Remember, this takes place shortly after Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett was no more than 10 in Attack of the Clones, because that's how long the cloning project had been commissioned. So he's more like 9. Give it a couple years for Luke and Leia to be born, and then in New Hope, Luke is like, newly adult, whos' talking about college. Then a couple more years to get to Return of the Jedi, when he goes into the Sarlaac. At most, Fett is in his late 30s when he gets out of the Sarlaac. Then a few years to get to The Mandalorian, so he's in his early 40s. Maybe Tom Brady's age.
If they have advanced medicine and pharmaceuticals, and there is something for to the armor besides some kind of unbreakable metal, Boba Fett should not remotely be considered old. In the Expanse, life expectancy is about 120
I wanna say that the Sarlacc acid may had mess with his clone DNA... but I doubt the writers thought that.

I'm late, I know. But I've researched A LOT of star wars lore, to include the mandalorians, the dark saber, etc. Firstly, the bit with helmet removal being "sacriledge" is made up bullshit. The darksaber grants the right to rule to ANYONE who bests the previous wielder, mandalorian or not. Which is weird, but ok. Mandalorians used to be a race, but got virtually wiped out by the Jedi a long ass time ago so they inducted new people via traditions and gave them the name "Madalorian". Helmet on or off has never been a thing. The title of "Mandalore" is granted when the helmet of the first "Mandalore" is found and worn by a mandalorian, and they have the right to change/adjust rituals and traditions, basically the King. There hasnt been a Mandalore in roughly 2 thousand years. Also, fuck this dumbass show and its lack of character, terrible dialogue, and shameful representation of beloved characters. LUKE ABOLISHED most of the dumbass old Jedi traditions like the no attachment thing because, as an example, that is one of the major reasons why Darth Vader came into being. That and Ashoka went the route of the "Gray" Jedi, which most argue is the true balance in the force as it embraces emotion and attachment as part of every life, but tempers it with discipline and understanding. Which is somewhat what Qui Gon Jin was arguing for, but thats neither here nor there. God they really fuck everything they touch don't they?
I think everyone wants him to keep his helmet on so he can't get hit in the face.

I love Cad Bane. He's one of my favorite Star Wars characters. And I liked the way he was generally interpreted here.
But no, his death was not satisfying. He was supposed to die to Boba in Clone Wars. In a deleted scene, the Boba killed him in a blaster duel like they did here, but they both hit each other at the same time. Boba just had armor. That was where he would've gotten the dent in his helmet. It was supposed to be the moment that Boba made a real name for himself. It also would've been more satisfying because Bane and Jango worked together for a while with Jango as sort of a mentor.
Cad Bane was a legendary bounty hunter. The guy went toe-to-toe with two Jedi at once, up close and lived to tell the tale, escaped the most highly guarded prison in Coruscant, successfully held a dozen senators hostage in Anakin's Die Hard episode, and broke into the Jedi temple and stole a Holocron that lead to all the force-sensitive children. The guy's a total badass that's shown to be more competent than almost anyone in the series. I had a similar reaction to some of the dorks in that montage when he showed up, even though the rest of the show wasn't working for me too much.
And now he dies in a quick fight with Boba that made him look like some slouch hand-to-hand. Tragic.
As I have said several times to other commentators, saying the way Bane died (or 'died', rather) in BoBF is bad writing, because he is shown to be an omnicompetent murder man in TCW because of....uh, equally poor writing, isn't really the route you should be going here. Trying to pretend Bane managing to beat Jedi 1v1, and survive against 2 at once and nearly fucking winning, and therefore him losing to a senile geriatric is garbage, is sort of like saying that, I dunno, Rey losing to Black Widow in the inevitable crossover movies that will come in the next few decades is 'poor writing', because, I mean, gosh guys, don't you know? She's beaten Kylo Ren and Emperor Palpatine before, god. #NotMyStarWars, amirite?
Its...not technically wrong, but, uh....
@@papapalps2415 he's certainly not omnicompetent. His plans get foiled several times, he gets captured occasionally, including the time wound up in prison in the first place and the time he got put back in not long after. He also gets his ass kicked by Fennec Shand in Bad Batch, unfortunately.... At least he put up a good fight there.
I'm just saying, that often times in Star Wars, the villain of the week fails so frequently you start to wonder why they're a threat to begin with *cough, cough* grievous *cough*. Cad Bane is shown to be very competent (but not omnicompetent) because he has several great wins that go along with good attempts that end in failure. That's what made him a good foil. He wins some. He loses some, but either way, he's going to be a challenge-hand-to-hand or otherwise.
@Knox2Don Thats nice sweetie. And just like the other randoms, you get the same offer; feel free to explain how Bane being able to take on and nearly kill multiple, legendary Jedi at the same time and not just survive, but nearly win, is supposed to, in any way, qualify as anything but 'hilarious, laughable garbage'.

@@williamcronshaw5262 I don’t want him to come back if he gets a better send off than what we got here I wouldn’t be too pissed
Cad Bane, the expert gun-for-hire who took on Clone Wars (pretty much peak) Obi-Wan in a close-range duel that was almost hand-to-hand distance, and Obi-Wan struggled against him. One of the most legendary bounty hunters in the entire galaxy, one who infiltrated the Jedi Temple undetected and got away with it, the Jedi only knowing who it was because his accomplice turned informant, and he dies in a couple of swings to a cringe and weaksauce Boba Fett.

Ok this pisses me off cause they do this a LOT.
Boba, for some reason, has this stick up his ass about how the sands BELONG to the Tuskans. It is their HOME, they have lived there since the oceans dried. Apparently this planet with TWO suns somehow had oceans in the past? Whatever, fuck.
So he's mad at these lame moped mobsters for trying to take THEIR HOME.
THEY DO NOT HAVE A HOME! THEY HAVE TERRITORY! THIS IS NATURE! IF YOU CANNOT PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY, YOU DO NOT GET TO KEEP IT! Homes are a product of civilizations that form laws and regulations and shit! So if you come into MY home, punch me in the face and throw me out, I can call the POLICE and they will come in, cuff you, and then lock your ass up in jail while I take my HOME back. Because as a singular society we have rules that must be followed.
THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO RANDOM TRIBAL RAIDERS ROAMING A DESERT! If they can't defend a given area, they LEAVE and find a safer area they CAN control! They're CLEARLY nomadic until they capture a territory they can settle in. They don't build CITIES, the best they've had is large CAMPS. They aren't interested in mingling with the rest of the people of Tatooine, they wanna do their own thing, which sometimes includes kidnapping and torturing people let's remember, which as we've been told BOBA FETT DOESN'T TORTURE PEOPLE. That means they need to abide by NATURE'S law. They don't GET to own property. ANY property. That requires they follow certain rules of civilization, which they have decided to oppose. So if someone with a bigger stick comes along, they move out or die defending their territory, that's how it WORKS and that is how THEY want it to be. This "they own the sands" shit is nonsensical WOKE crap. "They were here first" is not an argument for anything.
I would like to point out that a major plot point of TWO Star Wars movies is LEAVING Tatooine.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
1 - They wrote Luke like a complete asshole. Also what is the point of having him build the temple from scratch on some nowhere planet with no resources? If only we had a planet that conveniently had a lot of ancient temple structures lying around that Luke could use which was previously a Rebel stronghold.
What's this Yavin IV? Never heard of it. What is this "New Hope" movie you speak about? Is it like Force Awakens?
2- Boba Fett has turned into my 90 year old grandmother and its disgusting.
3 - the only thing worth it in this show is 5 minutes of the episode with mando just walking around doing his day job.
Why is it so hard for them to write something at all competent or interesting? There should be so much you can do with this premise even if you just steal from the Expanded Universe material. Talon Kaarde, the Black Sun, the Exchange...
4- Stop trying to make the Dark Saber a thing, Dave. Its stupid. I can't believe I'd ever think of Karen Traviss as a positive example, but her mary sue writing of Mandalorians is still way better than this trash. They actual code of honor they had before made at least a bit of sense.
Why didn't Mando also recruit the Tuskens who worked alongside Freetown? That would open the way to some payoffs that were just left on the table. Filoni and Favreau didn't even play the cards they had to work with.
They mentioned it but I think its a bit undercriticized that they literally pulled the stick they used in the trash compactor out as a gag reference.
Are they going to bring back the vine that Luke jumped over in Dagoba as a reference?
What qualifies as something they aren't willing to use as cheap referential material?
Edit: They literally reference the Dagoba training run. I fucking cant.

I wonder how many people will jump to Mando season 3 without seeing bob of boba book and are confused how Grogu is back and what they are up to.
We've definitely pushed the concept of "Mini" a bit far now.
I will say when I saw Cad Bane come on screen, I had an audible reaction. I went “No. No fucking way. No fucking way they’re bringing Cad Bane in to the show.” And it wasn’t as loud as the people in the videos. But it was out loud. But it was because I was afraid. What are they gonna do to Cad Bane. How will they blow it? The show is so bad I can’t help but exclaim frustration out loud even if no one is there. And it’s in part due to the nonstop disappointments. TLJ, TROS, Solo, Mando, it’s been so consistently obviously bad for so long that it’s infuriating to see it just get worse and people eat it up. I used to make fun of people who said “clown world” but now I see the error in my ways. It is truly a clown world we live in now.
everytime I think of the Mandalorian I'm reminded how they, as a culture, went from full-body armor, to essentially sports gear. Even just in the show imagine if they used medieval full plate, or even roman segmentata, or full sized chainmail like they made for a baby. They would be appreciably more defended, and Mando's plot armor would be less needed...
Surprised that there was no mention of the fact that the Pyke Syndicate does not seem to own a spaceship. They move spice through gun trains and have their invading army arrive through public transportation.
Wait I thought Booba was over.
Especially after Az killed baba Yoda and the lamentations of Nina were heard through out the land!
That's where ya wrong kiddo....
No-one's ever really gone....
None is ever really gone in the beautiful land of Disney.
What?
The problem I have with Boba’s death isn’t the random back swing of Han’s into the pit, it’s that he jet packed onto the mini barge in the first place. If we complain about goons with guns closing the distance with our heroes to engage in melee, we should have a problem with this. Maybe there’s an idea in there, but the execution is pretty silly.
I think this is one of the rare scenes where closing the distance actually makes sense. Boba sees that Luke can deflect blaster bolts with his lightsaber so he gets in close to try to fire from a range where Luke won't have time to react. Luke disarms him before he has a chance to fire, so Boba immediately bails rather than staying in melee range. The main issue with this is that he's incredibly lucky that Luke didn't just cut him in half rather than destroying his blaster, and it's very strange that Boba is willing to put himself in this much personal danger just to kill Luke. After all, he's a mercenary, not a fanatic.
In lore, at least the old lore flamethrowers are very effective against force users. Nothing to deflect after all.
So he may have been trying to go for that.
As for why, well he may be just a merc but bagging an actual Jedi or the closest thing to one around would make him quite rich and famous.
At the very least Jabba would reward him and word would spread about his feat.
Remember that Boba was someone who earned a degree of respect from Darth Vader and you don’t get that without being daring and likely rather reckless.
@@zephyr8072 Yeah the flamethrower would have been the best bet in that situation, but it didn't look to me like he was trying to go for it. I suspect that they hadn't decided that the suit included a flamethrower until after that scene was filmed, because if he had a flamethrower, it would make sense for him to hover just outside of lightsaber range and spray fire at Luke.
As for Boba's motive, you're probably right that he figured the combination of money and fame was worth the risk.
That old bearded snake Jedi you zoomed into when talking about Flaberse Galace was in the 2003 clone wars series and actually did say "THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!!!"
I love Tartakovsky's Clone Wars. In fact, I much prefer the Clone Wars Multimedia Project over TCW in general.
I can't wait for the Obi Wan Show, where he will meet up with strong British female character who will always be right and will constantly nut him every time they argue.
Golly gosh, I'll clap, I'll clap when I see it.
This got me thinking…. Luke’s “attachments are bad rat” mentality is totally Ahsoka’s fault right? I’m not too familiar with her character outside of Mandalorian, but from what I’ve seen she holds to the old Jedi ways strongly, and Luke appears to rely on her for guidance a lot. A Dave Filoni OC sowing the seeds for Luke’s assassination, how unintentionally ironic and hilarious.
That's what's weird about it. Ahsoka is unique because she specifically walked away from the dogmatic order, which for the most part turned on her when she was framed for a bombing. You'd think she'd be a lot like post-Episode VI Luke (should've been), not necessarily condemning the Jedi, but wanting to move past the older tenets that worsened them.
@@hugehuman1 Couldn't bring myself to finish watching The Clone Wars, but yeah, from what I've seen, Ahsoka never was too keen on following the rules. The whole show is basically Anakin and Ahsoka breaking the rules while Obi-Wan sighs.
I will be spoiling the main thing that happens to Ahsoka in TCW, if anyone here cares about that.
She is framed by a former friend for a terrorist attack on the jedi temple, and the Jedi council are quick to condemn her, and are about to expel her for her crimes, but anakin arrives in time with evidence to prove her innocence. In spite of this, ahsoka decides the jedi have lost their way and she leaves the Jedi order.
I didn't like how they used the friend. In the EU she never turn to the dark side and was a good person in the end.
Spoiler
The friend is the same character is the girl from the original Clone Wars 2D cartoon the green girl who fought with her master in the kyber Crystal Cave against the droids.
And then she fucking bails before TFA happens. Classic writing.
I was trying my boots for work and I laughed out loud hard when he said the music had an arc. More arc than the characters
If they wanted Boba Fett to always have been secretly nice, all they needed to do was reveal that he had a wife and son, and he's just trying to provide for them using the only skillset he has. You can say that he worked for Jabba and the Empire because that's where the money is, and his priority is taking care of his family. He still wouldn't be a good guy, but his actions would be more understandable, and it would be easier to justify him becoming a good guy later.
Mauler's "I hope they suffered!" is the best part of the series
Sorry but that final battle was the equivalent of me as a child playing wit my toys when I was 8 and doing something then thinking no I’m gonna have my good guy do this instead and changing my own rules as I go. Wtf so happy I watched this instead of watching the show

A year later and this whole fight scene still makes me crack up. Grabbing a gun just to pull out a knife and throw it. Absolute fucking comedy.
As a society, our freefall of standards for narrative quality is in the stages of the ground detection warning going off.
It's not just entertainment, our standards for basically everything have fallen off a cliff

Me first watching that episode: Makes sense for him to be greedy, water is a precious commodity, makes sense why they'd steal it too. Eh.
Me now: OH FRICKIN-
THEY STOLE THAT WATER TO WASH THEIR DANG SPEEDERBIKES.
,,The Book of Boba Fett" is a TV show, so if they make a book version, should it be called ,,The TV show of Boba Fett"?
The Mandolorian helmet rule is the patient zero of stupid writing in these shows. It is a broken plot point that is perpetually referenced and cannot withstand any logical scrutiny.
Even the most militaristic and staunchly traditional cultures in the world don't give too much reverence to, what is essentially, a piece of metal that they all have in abundance of as a people. It's like that stupid flower thing in Black Panther, there's keeping traditions and values and then there's arbitrary enforcement of backwards logic. This feels like a 21st century Western man's attempt to depict what an ethnic culture is like.
Are you seriously trying complaining that a cult practices illogical beliefs? Glad to see you're putting that brain to use🙄
@@fadillangston9797 nope, that's not what I said, you utter bell end. 😆
@@fadillangston9797 Mandalorians aren't a cult
@@YourHuckleberry99 Mando belongs to a particular group of religious fanatics who are definitely seen as a fringe weird cult by the rest of the Mandalorians.

Just to let Jay know, we heard his atmospheric shields joke. Good job
It’s absolutely hilarious hearing them compare it to mando before they realised it was actually mando season 3 😂
Mark's voice doesn't sound the same at all anymore. He cannot sound like young Luke again, it was very obvious to me that it wasn't him, because it cannot be him, sadly.
