Rhom Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thinking of Mando showing up on BooBF and basically doing Boba Fett better than Boba Fett does, it reminded me of an article I read once that talked about the ultimate upstaging. Bruce Springsteen performs One Headlight with Wallflowers at the VMAs Bruce came on there with Jakob Dylan and performed Dylan's song so much better that it crashed the entire Wallflowers' career and they were never heard from again. That's kinda what this last episode felt like to me. Mando shows up on Boba's show and does it better than he does and now no one wants to see the end of BooBF... they just want Mando S3. Walk carefully when you bring better talent onto your stage! Quote What about all those innocent building contractors? Those contractors had a moral obligation to decide what kind of job they took. They weren't innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithanos Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 With only two episodes of TBoBF left the thread title can change to The Book of [Insert favourite Mandalorian here] soon. Who knows, if they introduce Sabine Wren well, then she may become the more interesting of Mandalorians. Anyway, on the most recent episode: Good episode of The Mandalorian, disappointing episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Imagine if we got this opening bounty for The Mandalorian pilot... sans spear, Darksaber and shiny armour - Ok it wouldn't be anywhere near as cool without the Darksaber. Reminded me of the abattoir scenes in Predator 2. Which then reminds me, it would bode Din well to carry a med kit like the Predator does. Also, I hope those weren't Bantha carcasses. They haven't figured out lab grown meat yet? Or perhaps those were lab grown carcasses? Considering in TM S2 finale Moff Gideon seemed fairly proficient wielding the Darksaber, did he put in work or did he get some of that Grogu blood infusion so he could use it with ease? I reckon the Armoror has been short changing Din every time she's reforged beskar for him. Unless the spear and shaft were hollow there must've been a fair amount left over after chain-mailing the spear tip for Grogu's 51st present (or is he 52 now? What's a standard Star Wars Galactic year by the way?). Anyway I think the Armoror taxes like any cult leader does. I also think she may be an unreliable narrator with regards the historic events portrayed to Din. Good riddance if Din can escape her influence. If the season was longer, they could insert another non-Boba filler where Krrysantan sneaks a session in the Bacta tank and we get a full recount of Krrysantan the Gladiator! Following episode - seeing Santan's considerable frame squeezed into his tank Boba realises he can avert war by providing Bacta tanks for the Pikes and thus forms the Spa Alliance of Tattween.

Corvinus85 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 By the way, it appears flashbacks for each main character are triggered in a certain medium: the Bacta tank for Boba and the forge for Din. So I wonder what Obi-Wan's and Ahsoka's mediums will be for the inevitable flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question, is Qui-Gon more fearsome than Bryan Mills, I mean after all he does have a very particular set of skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologdin Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 ewan mcgregor flashbacks to yoda who has flashbacks within the flashback to the golden age of the republic, so they can sneak in a pilot for that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yoda flashbacks fall 100yrs short of Tarre Vizla creating the Darksaber. There's a missing link in the flashback continuum that needs to revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Saw the Mandalorian Season 3 filming has been halted due to Covid. If the delay doesnt take too long I expect it wont impact their projected release date which I would think would have come after their other 2 already completed shows, Obi Wan and Andor. I guess one each quarter, with Mandalorian season 3 airing towards December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I constantly forget that Andor is an upcoming show. I hope it's going to be decent I have the least interest in it out of all the live-action planned shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I just hope that, now that we've had Black Bad Santa, one of the many shows gives us a blonde wookiee. Perhaps with a Borg-esque headband. Is that too much to ask? And let's not stop there either. Where are all of the ginger wookiees, or the punky green and blue wookiees?

Ohhhhh yeahhhhh... that's embarassing. I'll go turn in my nerd credentials now... Sadly, I think I had Andor from Wheel of Time on my mind and just transposed it in there.

Rhom Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Back to the discussion we had on the volume of beskar for the spear vs what appears to be a chain link hauberk of some sort; I'm trying to remember, but wasn't there a line back in season one when Mando was first leveling up that when he brought in beskar he could request some of it for an item for himself but the rest of it went into a communal pool of some sort?
