It's a good thing she has nothing to do with it. It would be trash otherwise.

my take on the girl power moment is that it didn't FEEL like a girl power moment. every character had something to do and what they were doing felt normal for their character. it just happened to be that the "distraction team" was all girls. it was something that was talked about and planned on before it happened and for those characters, it made sense.
as opposed to say, the A-Force shot in the last avengers... half those characters never even met, logistically they were ALL over the battlefield but then, hol' up a minute, i need to go pose over here with my wamyn. the reason that shot didn't work is because it was CLEARLY pandering. just like that retarded use of "i'm just a girl" in captain marvel.
we've all said it before. no one ever had a problem with ripley or sarah conner (prior to the last terminator) because the characters themselves were written well. they did things that made sense for who they are, they stood up to people and things that despite being significantly outmatched and acted HEROICALLY. no one wants to watch rey anymore because she's not a hero. she's max level running around in the newbie zone.

Is there anything in the Star Wars universe that’s stronger than Jedi and Siths? Luke took out a whole platoon of those Dark Troopers without breaking a sweat and Mando barely defeated one and he’s no push over.
Nonetheless was a great episode. Loved seeing Luke make a comeback as a bad ass.

There are a bunch of creatures in the legends stuff that were pretty dangerous for Jedi/sith. Couple of creatures specifically fed off the force so generally they were higher on the food chain. As far as what we've seen in current canon? Probably just krayt dragons

In Lucas canon, there are absolutely beings more powerful.
Like Marvel comics powerful (thanos type beings)-- and would probably make for some good MCU type of movies some day down the road. But it was never fully explored or realized. Lucas had all that written out, but it doesn't mean much with him not doing the creative for Star Wars anymore.
Lucas plan would have established a MCUDC franchise far more than the sequel trilogy we got did, to say the least. That is the irony of Kennedy discarding his outlines and creative. Marvel is hot right now, and Lucas ideas were Marvel-tier stuff. They completely fucked this franchise up.

These are the Mandalorian pure-blood Nobility; Djin is a Deathwatch foundling but an honorable one. Boba and Jango Fett (Jango being a foundling himself) are famous servants of the Empire, the same Empire that broke up and drove the Mandalorians off their home world. Jango is the even more famous pater/template of the clone warriors, and Boba his ne'er do well, Bounty hunter son who worked for Criminal Syndicates and Darth Vader, his so-far-honorable turn in the Mandolorian not withstanding (the epilogue/after credit scene with Bib Fortuna shows this to be more accurate than I would have hoped). Of course there would be no love lost there. My Rebels/Clone Wars knowledge is sketchy, so maybe there is a direct link between them but what I know is enough to have them look down on Boba in a way that would bring out the worst in them.i there some back story where the chick mandos really hate boba?
i mean, theyre picking on an old man, that i guess makes you fat if you stay in the sarlac pit

The Jedi and the Force are a big Deus ex Machina plot device. It allows them to consistently fill in cracks of the story that otherwise wouldn't make sense. Its at the point where you practically can do it for the writers without them even having to mention it. How did Luke find Grogu? He used the Force! See? They didn't even have to say the lines in the show. We're used to it.
Hopefully with Grogu gone it gets back to the non-Force type of show. The Jedi/Sith stuff has its fanboy moments, but there is soooo much more to the Star Wars universe that gets overshadowed whenever a Force user shows up.

I figured Luke found Grogu because in the previous episode he used that Jedi mountain temple or whatever to contact him.

I'm not a star wars nerd but i'm guessing when he was abducted- the huge blue light beam sitting on the stone sending a message to all other Jedi in the universe thing helped luke locate him. I guess that got him close enough and then he could sense the "bad people" and other force users within a certain proximity.

The moment he opened his fake mouth and the words didn't sync up to his lips they lost my old bitter ass. I looked over at my 8 year old son and he was loving that shit, so I guess they got what they were going for and I need to suck it the fuck up.

bo Kattan will not accept the sword..BECAUSE Sabine gave it to her......and subsequently LOST it to gidean/whomever...
Previously -supposedly only won from battle. Now the belief, now reinforced by her loss previously, is that she HAS to win in battle or be a "fake"...
Loved the episode. And blind waves reaction vid was awesone
