Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)

My only issue with that episode was the T-4 pilot saying he was on the Death Star, but being like 19 years old in this episode.

I liked that part you Canaan

I sorta wanted his first line of dialog to be "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you." Haha

Shades of the final few minutes of Rogue One.

I had the exact same thought afterwards. Nice to see we got another "height of their powers" scene.

My only issue with that episode was the T-4 pilot saying he was on the Death Star, but being like 19 years old in this episode.

I guess he was on the second one, haha.

Also, I was always under the impression Mando took place kind of between Ep. 6 and 7, but

I knew it was him for sure when they showed his hand.

I sorta kinda figured it'd be Luke, but I also kinda didn't want it to be Luke, if you follow me. However, they absolutely nailed it in execution, so we good. Mrs Tif and I were both just absolutely ugly crying the last five minutes...... shoot, I just watched it again now and I'm ugly crying into my rum-and-coke.

If there is not a Din-Grogu reunion, I will burn Jon Favreau's house to the ground. Put me on a watch list, I don't care.

Bo Katan already received the Darksaber once before from a voluntary supplicant (Sabine Wren). Not sure what her hesitation is now...... unless it's "maybe I should claim this prize in battle once to establish my bona fides."

Reviewed ROTJ, and Bib Fortuna is aboard Jabba's sail barge at the Saarlac pit, so not sure how he escapèd that carnage. The credits sort of semi-spoilered the post-credits scene, citing Matthew Wood as Bib Fortuna (he's been at Skywalker Sound since the 90s, starting as a 17-year old intern, so that's a fun cameo) like 2 minutes before the scene rolled. But it was great.

I'm glad they 'undid' Boba-as-a-Mando; his chain code read true cos he's a clone, so order is restored. Polly should've seen that in the moment, but oh well.

This season of Mando has really tapped into what resonated with me with Rogue One. Good guys doing bad things; if I'm cheering for TIEFighters, are they really the bad guys? Stuff like that. Gray. I've seen people note that Luke's wardrobe mirrors his Force journey: White, gray, black, then black with a gray flap, to ultimately a mix of those tones to show he's prevailed over the Dark Side. And so those people think it's weird he showed up in his ROTJ 'Dark Side' robes in this timeline..... I think it's cool, because it reverse foreshadows Luke's future fall that we already know about. It plays up the notion that he got too big for his britches, and allowed his students to succumb. I mean...... Grogu isn't in Ep VII, if you follow me.

As sad as the finale was, it was sort of inevitable. But I can't wait to see the reclamation of Mandalore.

My youngest was real excited after that episode and went to town

Postby **eddy** » Sat Dec 19, 2020 8:35 am

That episode alone just goes into the rotation now after watching the original trilogy, right? I can't believe how emotional I still am from that. Dang.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Sat Dec 19, 2020 8:40 am

Yeah if I was ranking the franchises:

1) OT
2) Mando
3) Rebels
4) Clone Wars
5) Stand Alone Movies

With so much that happened, how cool was it seeing the tie fighters launch like that?

Postby **Gaucho** » Sat Dec 19, 2020 8:50 am
