I was hoping we'd see a KOTOR easter egg at the bottom of the Sarlacc. Like armor from the Sith Empire that it hadn't digested.

Grogu's flashback was from the Jedi Temple at Coruscant, where Grogu was studying when Order 66 happened. The massacre we're talking about is a few years prior to Force Awakens, when Kylo Ren destroys the Jedi Academy we watch being built in this episode and kill all the students.

I never got into clone wars or rebels all that much tbh, I only watched Bad Batch last week. I'm a first-generation Star Wars fan, the ones who loathed the prequels and Special Editions and didn't particularly get out of the way to catch the animated shows. But the younger generations of Star...

Cad Bane could've killed him easily. His quip about "you should've kept your armor" was a hint. Cad Bane put the dent in Boba's helmet.

It resolves or sidesteps a lot of questions if Grogu chooses to be a Mandalorian foundling though. He doesn't die at Luke's academy and Leia remains Luke's first student. Besides, there's a nonzero chance Luke gives him Yoda's saber anyway.

You guys pick the weirdest hills to die on.

Now I'm pretty sure there was a lot of truth to the rumors that Pedro Pascal was on the outs after he threw a fit about his contract and showing his face on-screen some more. Disney called his bluff and shot the first few episodes as a Boba Fett show and as table-setting for more Filoniverse...

Knew the deputy was fucked though. And no, Cad Bane held his own against Obiwan himself. I think he even used a lightsaber in a fight.

That must've been the skull of the Krayt Mando killed with Cobb Vanth and the sand people. You could see its ribcage was repurposed for the bar in Freetown/Mos Pelgo.

Cad Bane already showed up in the Bad Batch with Fennec Shand so that was a good call. Question is if he's still just a bounty hunter or if he retired sometime after the clone wars. If he's settled into the syndicate for some years he would very highly placed by now. Also curious if they...

May as well just burn the money. Makes no damned sense.

I don't know why people still talk about this. Mandalorian settled Jango and Boba's "Mandalorianess" for good in the last season. They even put a nod to the old EU in there for the nerds. Jango and Boba are Mandalorians in the canon. Maybe George said they weren't, but Disney overrules...

They held off on these posters till after ep5 aired. I get why for Mando and the Armorer but I dunno what's spoilery about Peli Motto since she was even shown in an earlier episode. BD-1 maybe?

Before either of those movies Neill Blomkamp was working on the original Halo movie but MS balked at the radical direction he was proposing since Blomkamp was unknown at the time. Instead of getting something fucking amazing that could've helped MS win the next console generation war, all they...

Should've just paid whatever Neill Blomkamp would've asked to do it.

Is it me or does it look like they're skipping straight to the Microsoft/343 era canon and more or less sidelining the Bungie era? Kinda like what Disney is doing to the OT starwars stuff in their theme park and merchandising.

His deepfake Luke was done over the Mando CGI face so he couldn't improve on the uncanny facial animations, but it was still a LOT better than ILM's Luke. Same with his work on Rogue One's Leia. It was mapped over a CGI face that was itself composited over a different actress so the eyes were...

What? No he didn't. Shamook was hired after he clowned on ILM's Luke de-aging like I said. ILM didn't use deepfake technology for their luke, it was all CGI over Mark Hamill's body double. Shamook's deepfake was so much better ILM hired him shortly after the season ended, presumably so that...

True story: ILM hired Shamook the youtube deepfake guru that clowned on their Luke de-aging in Mando: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/lucasfilm-hires-youtuber-who-used-deepfake-to-improve-the-mandalorian/ar-AAMBeAX At the very least it'll be better than ILM's de-aged Luke in s2e8 of...

You must've grown up somewhere amazing if charity and taxation are interchangeable.

One of the big advantages of the Sarlacc as an execution device was how it would slowly digest its victims over a thousand years. That's probably scary for Yoda or Wookies, but for everyone else you would've been digested by the bacteria in your own toenails 900 years sooner.

They made us feel bad for sand people who kidnapped and ran trains on Darth Vader's mom. That's commendable writing right there.

Next thing you know they'll be crowdfunding bingo halls and hospitals.

That Obiwan show is likely gonna be 90% flashbacks. The opening and closing scenes will be shots of Obiwan wandering the desert, checking up on Luke and trading with Jawas but the bulk of each episode will be a convenient way to rehash all the Mandalore/Bo Katan stuff, crimson suns/Maul...

So you had no druids?

I think they cancelled this game because so much of it contradicted the new canon. Looked amazing tho:

He'd be lawyered up right now.

The guys who said the show has gone sour with the last couple seasons' villains were right. It's a pretty easy test too: just look back when the show had Del and Jacob Snell as the antagonists and compare the show's quality then to now. There's just no comparison. Even Navarro was a better...

Yeah it went to shit.

Haven't seen much of Bad Batch but what I did see was still within a couple years of episode 3. If they show up anywhere it might be in the Obiwan or Andor series.

Yeah a couple xbox redditors were tweaking "lawl they're copying halo!!!" over on 4chan. They're being doxxed and swatted as we speak.

Chekov says if you write a roided-up starfighter into a script, you're gonna have some dogfighting that needs it down the line. They made it impossible to miss that it can outrun xwings too.

I got the sense the manic mechanic lady had to work with the meh script she was given because you can tell when they let her roll with it and just ad-lib and she wasn't bad. The part where she talks about dating jawas won me over. "Furry....so furry".

I don't remember seeing the light source directly either, just the ring and the shadow plates.

Maybe Luke will teach him how to control it when he visits Grogu. That would be pretty fucking dope.

He should've donated a third of his beskar spear and had the darksaber welded to the remaining part to make a Lighthalberd since he obviously sucks with the sword but is a fucking beast with a spear.

Well the "weight" part of the Darksaber was explained in the Rebels episode where Sabine trained with it: the Saber was built to draw on the emotions and control of its user far more than other lightsabers. They more or less explained that in the episode too.

It's interesting that the chick playing the Armorer is a ginger like Bo Katan too. And her helmet having horns is apparently an indicator that she sided with Darth Maul against Pre Viszla, who was presumably an ancestor of the last Mando in her covert, Paz Viszla, who duelled Din Djarin in the...

That's another thing from Filoniverse.

They were just the last of that covert, not the last of the tribe or sect.
