RumHam Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Just now, sifth said: Yea, I'm not sure what the point of those characters was. Also the guys that had to carry them around, just made the scenes with them kind of silly. Yeah, I kept thinking how Boba should just shoot the guy holding the corner and watch the Hutts topple off the thing. Their only protection seemed to be one wookie, and a throwaway line about how you have to get permission to kill a hutt. (tell that to Leia!)

Week Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 King Rancong was a beat too far for me ... Otherwise, fine. Some goodness and some cringe. Will watch Ben Kenobi (can't wait for the backstory on the pseudonym) and excited for Ashoka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So why did Boba Fett get his Rancor, when logically he should have gone for his spaceship, which would have suppressor weapons, for battling the droids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't they try the grenade roll from the clone wars? or slowly walk through the giant shield and then stab at the machine. I think @sologdin pretty much explained it though. 52 minutes ago, Deadlines? What Deadlines? said: Aow! Shamone! You see, in the original cut that nameless pike shot first, and he was doing a barrel roll to doge. That was the low point of the finale for me though, really. Just so pointless and bizarre.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I mean, compared to first four episodes the last three were bangers in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew no one other than the noble gammoreans were gonna die, everyone had plot armor, the fights were often incredibly stupid, and it felt like a worse rehash of the first Mando ep with less humor. The droidekas and rancor were neat? But I guess I still don't care about Boba running tattooine or that shithole planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I do feel like Rodriguez has, if anything, regressed as a director. The episode was mostly dumb in a good way but I think could have been done better by a different director. Some of the action beats felt slow or off: the much-mocked spin and shot is a good example. It could have worked, would once have worked in a Rodriguez film, but the execution wasn't right. That said, the series was fun. Not on the level of Mando series one or two, but I didn't feel like I'd wasted my time. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plot armor seems like an odd complaint given we're talking about a universe in which stormtroopers are supposed to be accurate shots except whenever they're firing at our heroes.

Yeah… I don’t worry about it. I think if you’re worried that Mando and Boba can stand in an open shooting gallery with no concern while the endless waves of mooks are picked off when they have good elevated cover; then you missed the point of the show.
