Let's just get this outta the way.



AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved it .... but How Bobba can be right here, right now on Tython ?? I know that there is mystery in the galaxy ... but I really do not understand how he could knew that Mando was on his way to Tython ...

Someone has to explain Tongue
He's Boba frikkin Fett. There is a reason he has the reputation he has.

I'm thinking he tracked his armor. That makes the most sense.
Which makes even less sense, because he knew Cobb had it. Why not simply demand it from him? Unless he felt he'd have a better chance of explaining the situation to a Mandalorian. Undecided Or why didn't he track it and take it back from the Jawas?
I loved this episode ... very pleasant to watch. The team that is created to save Grogu is amazing ... can not wait for next week Tongue
Agreed. I'm happy that Boba won't be a flash in the pan throwback. He's actually getting involved.

A short episode and while its not "filler" its definitely a "set up" episode.  It made Boba actually Bad Ass.  I know many have always seen him as such but I wasn't one of them.  I hope he keeps the robe look with his armor (defines it a bit more).  We get an answer to if Jango was Mando or not.  The child seemed like he really wanted the Dark Saber.  Maybe the memory of any saber training he received.   Big Question.....who will answer his call.
Quite. I think, for the most part, Boba was always labeled "bad ass" because he has more tricks than a Swiss Army Knife. But actually seeing him fight in the flesh, and actually fight was thoroughly satisfying. Speaking of.....anybody else get that satisfaction from the crunch of plastoid armor shattering under blows from a gafferti stick?  Grin Grin

But who was Jango found by? According to the history of the Mandalorians, Caseous Fett was the one who long ago standardized the look of the Mandalorian armor. So Fett is an ancient Mandalorian name.

I thought the holding cell scene was a little over done. It is becoming clear that Grogu isn't as naïve as we've been led to believe, so why focus on the first 2 goons that have clearly had enough, instead of turning your attention on the douche and new goons that just entered the room, before you get too tired? I'm still a little perplexed about why Gideon felt the need to show off the saber. However, despite my utter hatred of this saber, its depiction in this series is growing on me.

THE question that will make us discussing about hypotheses and theories during the next 8 months  Grin
I don't think we'll be waiting that long. My money is that we'll be given a substantial teaser by the end of this season.

Good lord I can’t win haha. So I decided to avoid this thread until I watched the new episode. Still am, I haven’t actually read any new posts in here just blindly making this reply.
Still accidentally saw a spoiler for today’s episode on the internet cause there was no warning and I clicked on it to see what it was. It was in a “news feed” and wasn’t even labels that it was from the show. Just gonna start avoiding the internet all together on Friday’s. That or just start calling off so I can stay home and watch haha.
I decided to start staying up till midnight on Thursdays so I don't have to avoid this thread.

Ok, watching it for the 2nd Times Tongue

During the gun fight, the stormtroopers miss all their shots (as usual) .... and suddenly, they all hit Mando ....  Grin
Yeah that. But hey, we got some artillery support.

One (last ?) little thing.

Tython is in the Deep Core in the Legend UE ... I understood that in the new Canon, the planet is now in the Outer Rim (I refer to what Fennec Shand said that she is surprised that the Empire is here as the New Republic controls the Outer Rim )...
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahsoka made it sound like "Everybody knows where Tython is." And then he just shows up, practically still giggling over learning the kid's name. I'd have thought that even at light speed, getting to Tython would take a couple of days. The Deep Core is not easily traversed. What I thought really lacked about the approach: No Ashla and Bogon. Where are the moons?

So the title is "The Tragedy", and I'm going to say that the tragedy was not losing the Child, but rather having the Crest be blown up.


It was tragic. I was really liking that ship. My only minute gripe: the ball would not have been in the crater, and there would have been a lot more large chunks of ship in the area. Apparently the turbo-laser gunners on Imperial ships are the real threat. Anyone else think that was a little too powerful for a single laser blast? Plus the color. I'm thinking they hit it with a torpedo. Thoughts?

But on the bright side, SLAVE I IS BACK. WOOT WOOT.

Quote
Also, it is important to note (as I have been seeing people saying that Din needs to train with the spear) that Din already knows how to fight with a spear. The way he would use his Amban Phase-pulse blaster was like a spear. Even when electrocuting things, it would be like using the tip of the spear. Plus, I'm sure he has had training with a variety of weapons. And it is sad that his rifle is gone. No more disintegrations for him.
Meh. I'd like him to reunite with the Armorer, or at least another one, melt the spear and expand his armor more.


Fixing this

That....gave me chills.  If only we could hope it would go this way.  Perfectly illustrates the fallacies of both the Jedi and Sith mentalities.  The Sith feared death (few exceptions) and spent their energy unnaturally prolonging their lives or refusing to lose any ounce of power.  While the Jedi feared that path so rejected all emotional attachment's which lead them to being ill equipped to handle a young, scared and very powerful  boys emotions.
Exactly

Speaking of future Grogu design concepts, is the knob from the Razor Crest too small to serve as a pommel for a Yoda-sized lightsaber?
Excellent thought. Or maybe mod it to be the emitter. Possible incorporate it into the body as a crystal chamber.

I just worry about the future because I wanna see him grow up and become a cool character but then where was he during the last trilogy? Although I like to still pretend it doesn’t exist.
Easy. The abysmal ST is retconned into the bad dream that it always should have been (read "was). Grogu and Luke are best buds, bouncing around the galaxy like SW Adventure Time. (Math)

Also I have a prediction. With the Razor Crest gone, Boba Fett will die saving Grogu and Mando will inherit the Slave I.
I really hope that this scenario won't play out for at least till the end of season 3.



Thoughts not covered:

Despite my gripes of this episode, I have to admit, it was by far the best one they've produced. Bar none.

- I thought they did a particularly poor job of writing Mando this episode, but that may have been in order to put emphasis on Boba. Seriously, how many frikkin times does it take to sink in that you are NOT getting through the Force barrier. If it were me, I'd have made my stand at the site and not run off.

- Was very confused why Boba felt more threatened by Mando's jetpack rather than the blaster in his hand.  Undecided

- I understood, but didn't like the obvious design tie-in of the Imp drop ships to the design of the FO ships. UGH!

- Seriously, WTF is a chain code?

- They goofed (no surprise). Tusken rifles are what is known in-universe as "slug throwers". They may not necessarily fire with ballistic cartridges, but they have always fired a projectile instead of the traditional blaster bolt.

- I thought Fennic's new hydraulics were superfluous kitsch. Why couldn't he have just found her, taken her somewhere, and nursed her back to health. It's been my understanding, even in the realm of SW, that cybernetic medicine requires state of the art facilities. Basically the kind you're NOT going to find on Tatooine. Also, why would she need a patch in her clothes to show it off? So yeah...don't tell me about "not in the CGI budget." That was dumb. But I am glad to see Fennic again. Ming Na always....brings a smile to my face. Roll Eyes

- I thought Boba got way too close to the cruiser to not be shot down.

- Anybody else catch the stupid when Boba put on the armor? Why would Mando reload the rocket, and where did he "just happen to get" the exact make and type that Boba always loads. -_- Seriously? Like we wouldn't know it was Boba unless the rocket matched? And then there was the whole misfire. It would have been cooler had he actually planned what really went down. But we have to insert a dumb joke.



- I was....kinda...sorta glad they explained the whole badge scene from Ep4 better. He was basically attempting to deputize her.

- And one of the better parts of this episode: MAYFELD is back.

So about the chain code...some folk on reddit actually managed to decode it. Its basically a short description of the history of that suit of armor. WHICH THEN name-drops Jaster Mereel as the Mando that found Jango. so thats canon again.

I'd be down for that, but I was just making it clear that Mando wouldn't need to train with the spear.

Alright let's do this:

Absolutely agree. I like it far more than the last episode (I like last episode, just not Ahsoka, and that brought the entire episode down for me).

- Agreed.

- Agreed, but it was literally done for story reasons. Without it happening, he would've been able to save the Child.

- Didn't bother me that much, but I definitely noticed this as well.

- Don't really care.

- I need to rewatch this particular moment, but it looked to me like it was a slug thrower. If not, it is highly likely that Boba modded it to shoot energy blasts rather than slugs.

- Agreed. I'm loving the character of Fennic Shand, but the cybernetic stomach doesn't make sense (although again, wouldn't surprise me in the least if Boba has sort of medical facilities on his ship).

- Agreed.

- I noticed this as well, and was wondering the same thing. Of course it is possible that it is fairly standard issue in the galaxy, but still, it is unlikely that Din reloaded. Possible that Boba did when he put it on, but again, that totally depends on Din just happening to have the correct missile.

- Sure.

- Meh. Didn't care for his character in S1, he just didn't quite feel Star Wars to me. That being said, I am not really opposed to him returning. Just not terribly excited.


And now my question to Logos: Could (as in, is it even remotely possible) the "knob" have survived the explosion in as good of condition as it seemed to be? I say it can, everyone else (literally, my sister even brought it up) is saying that it couldn't, so it must be Beskar. Am I right here? Regardless of whether or not it would have been in the crater (I also thought it should've been thrown out during the explosion), is it possible?

Ok so I had typed out response to everything but I was signed out when I went to post so nothing survived...so I'll just answer the Chain Code Question.  Its closest example I can think of is a Social Security Number.  It can pull up employment, warrants, family history etc.

I wish I could stay up till midnight and watch but I wake up at 2am to work at 3am.  And I do need some sleep.

I am super happy that the slave 1 is back. I always felt it never got enough screen time. I always loved the ship way more then the character of Boba fett. Of course as a kid I was always more interested in the ships then the people.

Up until now the only reason I watch Episode 2 was for the dog fight between Jango and Obi-Wan. While
Not perfect until now it was the most screen time dedicated to seeing the ships capabilities.

Hearing those blasters going off again brought all the memories back. Not to mention the engine sounds. Everything about the slave 1 makes it unique from all other Star Wars ships.

I wake up at 5 to be at work by 7 so I just started getting up an hour earlier on Fridays to watch the episode....of course I haven't slept longer than 3-4 hours a night in a couple of decades.

It's interesting to see other peoples focus in stories.  I never gave much thought to the ships...still don't.  They're just means of transporting the character one place to another to me.  Their design and function never even enter into my brain.

So about the chain code...some folk on reddit actually managed to decode it. Its basically a short description of the history of that suit of armor. WHICH THEN name-drops Jaster Mereel as the Mando that found Jango. so thats canon again.
Which still doesn't explain how he got the name 'Fett'. Also, chain codes have been referenced from S1E1. Unless a chain code is a numeric code that acts as a dossier. Undecided

I'd be down for that, but I was just making it clear that Mando wouldn't need to train with the spear.
I know. Weapons wouldn't be a very effective "part of his religion" if he wasn't trained in as many styles of combat and weapon as possible. I'm totally with him already knowing how to fight with a staff weapon.

Quote
- Agreed, but it was literally done for story reasons. Without it happening, he would've been able to save the Child.

I say it can, everyone else (literally, my sister even brought it up) is saying that it couldn't, so it must be Beskar. Am I right here? Regardless of whether or not it would have been in the crater (I also thought it should've been thrown out during the explosion), is it possible?
- I know, but it seemed painfully weak.

- Listen, don't watch. The Tusken rifle makes a particular sound, heard most notably during the podrace scene Grin, and considering the current penchant for nostalgia it is a good bet that they would have used the exact sound bites from TPM. I watched it twice, and am fairly certain I both saw and heard only blaster fire.

- No he doesn't. The Firespray was designed as a patrol craft, which then begs the question why it was ever given a hyperdrive, but c'est la vie. The ship was implemented before the backstory was written. But there isn't a lot of space on it. It does have a single occupant sleeping compartment (not unlike the Razor Crest) but it is unlikely to have medical equipment, at least not sophisticated enough to perform surgery.

- See? Dumb throwbacks.

- Meh, I like Bill Burr. Plus, I'm jones-ing to find out if I was right about him being ScT. All of that motley crew needed more story. And I have a feeling that Mayfeld is going to "require" that Mando spring the others. They seemed to throw a lot of talent into characters that seemed to be short-lived in S1, which, considering what they did with Cara and Fennic makes me think that all of these bigger actors, that we didn't see die, will eventually be back.

The Knob. (How long until they just start selling these?  Grin Tongue) Considering its size and apparent mostly solid design, yes it could easily survive. Considering that it simply screwed into place, it is unlikely that there was any function to it beyond style for the lever. I personally wonder why it wasn't ON the lever when the ship was destroyed. Also, considering its purely aesthetic function, me wonder why Mando got so butt-hurt about him playing with it in S2E5 considering that Grogu has been playing with it since S1E3. Yet another moment of bad writing. <facepalm>

Ok so I had typed out response to everything but I was signed out when I went to post so nothing survived...so I'll just answer the Chain Code Question.  Its closest example I can think of is a Social Security Number.  It can pull up employment, warrants, family history etc.
I'll bite.

Sorry about your IT woes. Now I'm curious to know what you had to say.

I am super happy that the slave 1 is back. I always felt it never got enough screen time. I always loved the ship way more then the character of Boba fett. Of course as a kid I was always more interested in the ships then the people.

Up until now the only reason I watch Episode 2 was for the dog fight between Jango and Obi-Wan.
Ditto. Grin The hidden double repeaters. That function alone plus the odd design are why I LOVE that ship.

Sorry, that bit about not being perfect was a punctuation issue on my part. I ment that dog fight from episode 2 was far from perfect. But it was one of my favorites because of the screen time the Slave I got.
I’m gonna have to watch the episode again but was pretty sure I saw and heard the Slave 1s blasters firing.

Also for me to get four hours of sleep I have to be in bed by 10pm. I actually try to be in bed by 8pm but it rarely happens.

Also, considering its purely aesthetic function, me wonder why Mando got so butt-hurt about him playing with it in S2E5 considering that Grogu has been playing with it since S1E3. Yet another moment of bad writing. <facepalm>

Ill throw this out; someone who has lived most of their life in relative isolation typically does NOT like having their things tampered with. I dont think it was specifically important to him just more of a "dont touch my stuff" kind of thing. Also worth mentioning moving a lever without some sort of knob would undoubtedly be uncomfortable on the hand.

Agree on that...I hate people touching my stuff...anything.  My coworker moved my stapler off a sheet of paper and out loud I said nothing (reign in the crazy) but in my head I was saying "Don't touch my stapler....ask me and I'll move it.  It was there for a reason."

Did you see the swing of the lever? It's short, and not like it requires a terribly great deal of strength to move. Also, considering how the covert functioned more like a family unit, where what one earns belongs to the Covert, as well as Grogu being part of the clan, this should have only been an issue if it was of vital function to the ship.

You knew this was coming.
