Yes, I don't understand the way gravity works in a made up fantasy world. Or the rules of the magic technology that these ships have in the first place. Also, it's a TV show.

the godfather is the old patriarch mob boss having the son take over the mob business which he doesnt have any desire to do but is forced into it by mob hits on his family. he turns out to be worse than anyone.
BoBF is dude escapes from imprisonment. seeks revenge. dances with sand people. kills Jabba, ends all his criminal activity including the spice trade which is the lifeblood of the entire planet and then just walks to and from town a lot. oh and he rides a big monster which is mildly effective and ends up destroying the town he swore to protect. i dont see a similarity. not even a little one.

The bombs are a bad example. They make perfect sense. The upside down starfighter scene was nowhere near a planet so that doesn't apply. Maybe there will be something in the story where mando says "strap in, I'm reversing the gravity for [reasons]". But barring that, that was a fuck up.

How do lightsabers exist, why do ships fly like they have air resistance in space, how come we can hear laser blasts and engine roars in space? You are still bitching about a half second clip when there is so much shit that doesn't make sense in Star Wars.
If you are still hung up on it. Please relay to me how this gravity works on Star Wars ships. Do you have the specs? How do you know where the center mass of the ship is? Why would the gravity be focused just under the seat? Are you sure that this particular fighter didn't have issues with it's gravity field? Or maybe it could have been a design flaw. Maybe it was because of the ships modifications. maybe it was the huge asteroids they were flying through.

when you have magic space wizards , all conventional rules go out the window. however, once you establish any rules in any universe, you should keep to them. does that scene violate any pre established rules?

I have actually 'seen the specs' but you're not worth digging up the book. I'm not sure if this the one i have but it should answer all of your questions.

Gravity generation is done in the deck plates and is a variation of repulsor technology. The chiss and yhuzong vong had different methods. I think there are lots of methods. But the important bit is that it's only in freighters, yachts, and capital ships. There's no sense in generating gravity in a ship where you can't walk around. Ships also have inertial dampeners which are usually dialed down in fighter craft because the pilots like to feel the Gs.
Center of mass is basic physics. That doesn't change in space.
Think of a lightsaber like an arc welder that's been stabilized and extended.

Exclusive: Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere Date! | Making Star Wars
The last few months have led to a lot of speculation about when Star Wars: The Mandalorian will premiere on Disney+. So far all of the official data has been frustratingly ambiguous. Even the newest Star Wars Insider has it listed next to shows with release dates instead of putting it next to...

In a few years it'll be interesting debating Mandalorian vs Andor, extremely different shows in every way.
I would have more respect for Mandalorian if they stuck with baby Grogu gone for a few seasons at least, but bringing him back and in such a weird way - hijaacking Boba Fetts show, LOL - isn't inspiring. Oh well, Filoni has earned more than enough trust for me to see where he goes with it.

I think I have Andor slightly ahead of Mando at this point. Andor is the depiction of the Star Wars universe as it should be.
Most of the other show's and the the new trilogy are either for kids/retards, or made by people with a political agenda outside of the SW universe.
I still say a Boba Fett show, written and produced by the Tony Gilroy team could have been the best thing ever. What a lost opportunity...

Dude. Boba fett was just a season of mando. In years to come when they release the series on DVD, the boba season will be part of it. There was no weird hijacking. It was a weird extended vacation for all the main characters.
Andor would be perfect if andor himself didn't bother me so much. I'm surprised he doesn't sparkle in the daylight because the mopey moody bullshit might as well be ripped from twilight and thrown into space. I realized during the last episode that I love every part of the show that doesn't include him.

We would have actually gotten the “Godfather in space” that people were expecting

Before and after Boba Fett was released everyone was still saying it was really Mando 2.5.

It's funny Favreau stated its "Godfather in space" in his mea culpa, and that was his intention-- being he made the worst interpretation of Godfather of all time. F&F calling Boba Fett a Godfather interpretation and implying people wanted Conan instead did them no favors as creatives as they tried to interpret the backlash.
No, your Godfather shit just sucked and was all wrong. The fact that lessons weren't learned is something I'll be keeping an eye on with F&F.

I think she has too much pride to go back. I'd prefer her back as well, but I don't blame her if she told them to fuck off.
