Star Wars Discussion

To be fair, when people say "Baby Yoda" they don't actually meant it's Yoda as a baby. It's a baby of the Yoda species, because the species doesn't have a name.

[Merlin1958]

Maybe the best episode yet (few awkward silences aside)

[Hunchback Jack]

No, I don’t think they mention experimenting with other members of Yoda’s species. I think they are just experimenting with people with a high “M count”, and the child is off the charts in that respect.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

That was a solid Ep, by the way. Started off as a “side quest” Ep, but evolved into a nice little reveal. Loved the ending, too.

This series is just delightful. I’m watching both this and STiscovery and the difference is stark.

So,

Spoiler:

The child's name is "Gogru"? Think that's how they pronounced it. And a mention of Yoda!!!!

Still, it feels like they are "shoe-horning" the story line in that you would think (or I think) that Head dress Jedi, Yoda and Luke would have all known each other or at least about each other and none of this played in the films. Don't get me wrong, I'm cool with it. I just thought it worth mentioning and maybe discussing. I keep thinking of that scene when Ghost Obi is consulting with Yoda and only mentions a "single another" meaning, Leia.

Also, there was that back story regarding, Luke and Kylo when, Kylo wipes out the Jedi academy. Just really minor stuff really.

Man, I really love how, Lucas created such a rich universe based on Sci-Fi/Medevial Times/Western. I think that was what was missing from Ep.1-3 that multi genre feel. So simple yet so genius.

It’s “grogu”. Closed captions for the win.

I liked the episode, and am glad that the EU characters are not overwhelming the story - they are just crossing Mando’s path while he stays fixed on his mission.

And the plot thickens on The mandolorian!!!!! Awesome episode!!!!

Spoiler:

Obviously, I am mistaken, but I would have sworn that, Bobba Fett was eaten by the sand creature in ROTJ. Anyone care to enlighten me?

[RUBE]

He was in the process of being eaten by it. Maybe that is what all the scars are about. Maybe he was being digested super slowly and found a way to fight out of it.

Another question is why if he knew where his armor was didn't he come take it from Timotht Olyphant's character. And why did he take it off in the first place. Maybe it really needed dry cleaning after almost being digested and someone stole it from the cleaners.

I know what you mean about the armor especially when they made it a point to show him looking from afar on Tatooine (?). I'm guessing that they will be providing a ret-con/back story in the next episode or two. I mean he represents the only direct tie (so far) to the film epic, right? Perhaps he had to shed the armor in order to escape the monster and someone else picked it up after the creature expelled it.

In any case, the story seems to be taking more shape and slowly sliding into phase with the film story line I think. We'll see I suppose. Bobba is very much aware of, Luke and his merry band and their relation to the old Empire. He's a wild card I suppose.

[Brian861]

Glad to see Boba is back and enjoyed the backstory on how Jango acquired the armor. The thing is full of plot holes but still very enjoyable. I still want to know actually how he escaped the sand creature.

Also, you guys might want to keep an eye on you Disney+ accounts. Mine was hacked but my credit card info hasn't been compromised so far.

The last episode of Mandalorian was excellent. No more monster-of-the-week format for this season, we're in for a roller coaster right these last few episodes.

Agreed. It’s brilliant.

I can't believe how well they got Ahsoka. That was amazing! I can't wait for her own show!

This is all great news and very exciting, but to tell you the truth (and I'm surprised they haven't thought of this yet) I would really like to see a production chronicling the formation and rise of the Jedi. There really is very little (to my knowledge) in the way of Jedi lore that we have been made aware of and I'd really like to know much more of the Jedi history.

[mae]

Bill, they might be saving that for down the road, with something like Knights of the Old Republic. But the Jedi are ancient, so even that is not exactly it.

Also, here's a nice overview of everything Disney announced:

[Merlin1958]

Those two are kinda hard to watch!! lol

[mae]

[Merlin1958]

Much better, Mae lol So, maybe we do get some Jedi history with that "Acolyte" show? What do you think? Great stuff coming

And Indy 5!!!!!




My wife loves, Indy!! lol We actually did name our last dog, Indiana Jones lol

[Hunchback Jack]

Mando Chapter 15 was excellent. They’re not putting a foot wrong with this series.

[mae]

The Acolyte seems to be focused on the dark side, the Sith. That's pretty exciting indeed!

[Merlin1958]

[Hunchback Jack]

Interesting stuff ahead. Im looking forward to both of the Mando spin off series. I’m also interested to see how they pull off the Obi-Wan series, given the guy is supposed to be in hiding. We will see.

I assume all of this stuff isn’t going to come out all at once? Presumably they are doing the marvel TV thing, where they have 2 or 3 seasons of each show, staggered a year or two apart?
