I may be wrong but there was another TIE variant of a variant that is meant to be canon which was named the "TIE/sh VIP shuttle". This was a modified TIE-Bomber and had a set of landing gear and boarding ramp. It was able to carry four passengers and two days' provisions. It also had a low powered cannon and a shield generator. However the TIE/sh VIP was only a short range ship with no hyperdrive and needed escort fighters if enemy ships were nearby. This meant a lot of people preferred the Lambda Class shuttles for it's longer range, avionics/sensors and greater comfort.
My research revealed the same. Plus the LCS is just a bitchin' ride.
YES! To the first.
YES! To the second.
As for the direction I assumed if they could snoop on the transmission, they might've got a ping on where the receiver was.
A'ight Captain Jack. This isn't a bad notion considering that they were in scout gear.
I thought the same thing about the directions up until just now. I just realized that they knew which way to go, because they saw which way Greef, Mando and Cara came from.
I'll give it a solid maybe, but there was no guarantee that one could cut a straight path from the landing sight to the city.
As for the finale....
SQUEEEEEE. That was awesome.
I need some clarification:
They said that Mandalorian isn't a race, but a creed......so what do they call the denizens of Mandalore?
Also did anyone else get a “troopers” vibe from the bit with the scout troopers talking?
I was waiting with bated breath for one of them to say "You ever wonder why we're here?"
Has it been established that this new batch of troopers aren't holdovers from the Empire, and aren't fully trained? Considering that scout also act as snipers, I find it dismally bad canon-keeping for them to be that laughably bad at shooting.
And seriously? Can't anybody get those helmets to stay closed?
All the points for IG-11. Dropping troops like it's going out of style. BOOYA! However, why didn't he detect the threat in ep7 and render aid to Kuiil?
I thought it was a bit of a stretch that his combat chassis could survive walking through lava, but it made for a good story. I had more problems with the gondolier.
Although I saw it a mile away, I liked how IG argued that being a droid, he is not living, and therefore would not break "the Way" by seeing his face in order to help him. Although, it was a bit sappy that Mando gets all mushy at the prospect of IG sacrificing himself.
As for the Armorer.........I want to have her babies.
(Yes this
is what she looks like under the armor.
)
Although I was confused how she managed to track and strip all those fallen Mandos and get the beskar back to the covert without being detected, I'm hoping that it only adds to just how truly badass she really is. Speaking of truly badass, anybody get the notion that
she is the one that found him, as well as all the others in the covert, and then trained them?
And did anyone else notice
this on the pauldron of the Mando that found him?
So explain: would this have been another faction of Death Watch; not the one led by Pre Vizsla?
Speaking of which............<sigh> mark this date in history......I liked what they did with the Dark Saber.
It was longer and sleeker, less asymmetric short sword looking. I can get behind this iteration, even if it is still flat.
I am very much liking Gideon. Pity he had such a short presence in this season. He is utterly ruthless, and honest about it. Finally a proper villain. Was it to be assumed that
he is the one that approached Fennec Shand's body? Cuz they never got back to that, and it irked me.
I've heard speculation that "Mandalore the Great" is a renaming of "Mandalore the Ultimate" and supposed to be referring to the Mandalorian Wars. Thoughts?
According to Wookieepedia, the Great was around during the Clone Wars while the Ultimate died on Malachor V at the hand of Revan. NM
All in all, it is truly sad that
