  • Finally! we continue this wonderful plotline by going to the world of SNL to visit three actors who have no idea what show this even is...
    There's a droid bar though, we kinda liked that...

    Christopher Lloyd: "Jack Black ruined this planet!"
    Lizzo: "I love him. Everyone makes mistakes, you disappointed me."
    Christopher Lloyd: "I hope you can forgive me."
    Lizzo: "One day. Anyway, into exile you go."
    And then Mando and Bo Katan get the key to the city and Grogu gets knighted.
    Genius writing.

      ​@@JohnSmith-zl1tr Based on what I've read, in most versions of Arthur canon, the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur are two different swords. In fact, it's acknowledged in stories where the first sword is either broken or phased out that it was only ever meant to be ceremonial. The sword itself doesn't even matter. What mattered was convincing the people that the one who pulled it out was their king by rights.

    One of the most annoying things Filoni has ignored from his own creations is the fact that Bo Katan has failed to lead mandalore 2 or 3 times, depending on how you look at it.
    The first time wasn't entirely on her, but she was second in command. Her leader, Pre Vizla, lost a duel to Maul, so Maul was the leader of Mandalore now. She refused to follow Maul and a few members of the Deathwatch went with her.
    About a year later, shortly before Order 66, Bo and some republic forces (mainly Ahsoka) took down Maul. She takes the throne again, only for the Enpire to take over and attack Mandalore. That's the "Night of a Thousand Tears."
    Then, in Rebels, she was given the darksaber (she didn't win it, so I guess the rules didn't matter then). She tried to unite the various Mandalorian clans, but only a few joined with her. Then the Empire attacked Mandalore again. This js the one we saw in BoBF, or the Mandalorian Purge.
    Tl;dr: Bo Katan failed to lead Mandalore a few times, and should not be trusted with the command again.
    Edit because I forgot about this: Maul also didn't have a drop of Mandalorian blood in his veins, yet some of the mandalorians of the clone wars followed him. Why does it matter now? They have to know that Maul had control of Mandalore before the Empire rose? The more I think about this, the more I want to die.

      Its such wasted character potential too. Imagine an external conflict over who gets to lead the mandalorians combined with an inner conflict in Bo Katan over her past failures and she eventually comes to realise she needs to pass the torch onto another for the good of mandalore.

    • @DillsyYourDaddy67
      @DillsyYourDaddy67 Год назад +76

      So essentially
      Mandalore was a neutral planet that had no stakes in the clone wars. Pre Vizla overthrow Satine to return to the warrior ways, Maul overthrew Pre Vizla by right of a warriors challenge, Bo refused to follow Maul because he was an alien (lmao honestly considering what the mandalorians are supposed to be).
      Bo unable to take Mandalore herself, invited the republic over to the planet to install her as leader, but this was like a few hours before order 66 so the empire kinda just didn't leave the planet and overthrew her
      Later some Mandalorians rebelled against the empire and re-installed her as leader and this is when night of a thousand tears happened after she surrendered (lmao some mandalorian she is) to spare the planet.
      So not only did Bo help organise a coup and fake invasion against her own sister, she turned her back on the warrior ways by refusing to follow Maul, couldn't take the planet by her own strength so she invited clone legions onto the planet to install her as ruler, and then lost the planet TWICE to the empire.
      And somehow she's the appropriate ruler for mandalore

    The funny thing about the new, "The leader doesn't have to wear a helmet all the time." rules is that it's somehow completely backwards from the 'Legend' lore of the Mandalorians. It used to be that only the leader would wear a helmet constantly in public as an oath to their people (Which faded away as an ancient tradition). Now everyone but the leader has to wear a helmet, and it's 100% more inconvenient.

      -----
      Except, the royals have no back up plan to protect their own citizens. They royalty can still hire mercenaries, private military contractors/private security detail to do their own dirty work. Also, the droids are actually just enslaved prisoners. (You and me, people that work for a living). You can provoke a droid into a malfunction and they shoot it down. Literally framing a machine for self-preservation. Talk about racist profiling and police brutality. And finally, droids rise up. The current debate about AI and how insecure it makes these people shines through.

      IIRC quite literally Papa Palps had a galaxy-wide shutdown code for the droid armies. Anakin murdering the remaining CIS leadership on Mustafar along with most major CIS strongholds and home worlds under siege meant that uncoordinated, unprepared, and undefended generals, admirals, and politicians had to escape the Republic, re-activate as many droids as possible, and run to a new hiding place to prepare.
      This is actually what happened. CIS remnants held out in the outer-rim for I think almost a decade that was ended by Vader essentially exterminating that branch of space with a huge fleet.
      Individual CIS patriots sometimes joined the Rebel cause, which caused some conflict internally because the mission state of the Rebellion was to bring back the Republic.
      Although, because of the decentralized makeup of the resistance prior to close to the end of the Empire meant that criminals, pirates, rebels, and sympathizers with huge variations in size and quality meant that as long as you were fighting the Empire and not being too evil you’d get some support.
      EDIT: the problem with the Separatist cause recovering is that their forge-worlds and resource worlds were known and captured immediately by the Republic

      Logic just doesn't work in starwars, but I did appreciate what you wrote. It's a lot better than the surface level world building we have gotten in "canon". Which amounts to "War ends after jedi are killed, all droids and separatists disappear, empire and rebel time."

    At the beginning of the episode, Din and Bo have the Mandalorian fleet in their sight-their primary goal of the episode-and they are flying directly to it. What could possibly get in the way?
    But the show couldn't help itself. Quite literally, an invisible force pulled their ship into a completely unrelated and inconsequential side quest. It's like it became self-aware that the plot was about to inch forward, and it had to interject.

    The minute Christopher Lloyd mentioned the Separatists, I entered an alternate universe where they actually explored that. He has secretly been reprogramming the battle droids to take over the rule of the planet. Believing that the Separatists can rise again with both Vader and Palpatine out of the way. Maybe he was a friend of Dooku's who has resented the Jedi order and the Republic since. Mando, being invaded by the Separatists during the Clone Wars, has a deep investment in trying to stop his rise. Hoping that another little boy is not orphaned by the battle droids. Bo Katan, witnessing first hand the destruction the Clone Wars brought. And how the Separatists were actually pawns for the Empire, who destroyed her planet. Sorry, slightly inconvenienced her planet. Idk maybe Andor can do something with this.

    the darksaber plot is so bad and it’s hilarious how quickly it was resolved. gonna copy & paste an old comment I made during the first episode.
    “it kinda sucks that the only way the show/that story could end is with Mando and Katan fighting for the saber and him finally “losing”. her, fighting to prove she’s the rightful owner of the saber. him, fighting to prove he’s a true mando and should be accepted back in. it could be like how Rocky loses but it’s still meaningful. despite losing the saber, mando went the distance, like a “true mando”. but the characters and story suck so it’s gonna be meaningless, poorly done, and unearned.”
    I honestly respect Mando less because of it. instead of fighting like a man(do) he uses the ancient art of “litigation”. might as well say the darksaber has her “cooties”. he got off easy.

    That point about the Separatists potentially coming back after the fall of the Republic or the Empire as Rags was saying is one of my biggest gripes with modern Star Wars. They act like once a faction's capital or leaders or planets or whatever are defeated, then they simply cease to be like an enemy faction in Dawn of War Annihilation mode.
    It's so ridiculous the idea that an entire faction, it's tech, it's people, it's history, it's soldiers, it's politics, it's teachings, ANYTHING just is gone or removed from the Galaxy (at least until they want to reference it for some shallow cameo). Like the New Republic gets 5 planets destroyed, and oh my gah it's GONE now! First Order quite literally controls everything now! oooohohohohoho. There are so many ways you could incorporate stuff from prior stories into newer stories or the history of the Star Wars galaxy in an actually organic/interesting way outside of "oh my gah, it Luke! Look at him choppy them robbit bois".
    Just speaks volumes of the childish understanding Lucasfilm has with world building or writing a story in a world they want you to be immersed in. I can't buy into your world or believe it's a real place unless you work it out in a believable way. See Andor for how to do good Star Wars, or even Episode 3 to a degree, I actually enjoyed Episode 3 quite a bit.
    Maybe what I'm saying it stupid too, I am abysmal at conveying my thoughts or saying intelligent things, but just some thoughts I had thinking about all of that and thought I'd toss them out there. Okay I shut up now, back to lurking and trying to make silly meme comments if I feel like it.

      The Separatists did return during the Imperial era, at one point. They got put down real quick though. One of the last ranking Separatist officers wanted to reactivate a dormant droid factory and build an army to challenge the Empire. Unfortunately for him, the memories of fighting droids were still fresh in the minds of veterans from the Clone Wars so much so that the Empire immediately sent a force down to make sure the officer was dead, deactivate the facility and nuked it from orbit for good measure because they hated the idea of fighting droids again for another decade or so. If there were any Seperatists in hiding left, entertaining fantasies of vying for dominance on the galactic map, there sure wasn't anymore after that.

    This episode highlighted for me just how inconsistently one of Mando's only character traits, his distrust of all droids (Not just battle droids) has been handled throughout the show. He went from initially not trusting droids at all in early season 1 (which was already pretty dumb) to then being saved by IG-11 later in season 1 thus he began being more tolerant of droids, which was somewhat rushed/glossed over however I assumed from that point onwards Mando better understood that droids adhere to their programming and aren't inherently untrustworthy or dangerous. This seemed like one of the few pieces of development Mando had and I expected it would be consistent throughout the rest of the show but then in this episode after being shown that some of the droids on Jizzo's planet are malfunctioning he fully goes back to totally disliking droids, comically kicking the super battle droids, threatening the bartender droid and outright stating they can't be reasoned with or relied on. Even though at the beginning of the season Mando had IG-11 resurrected, it then tried to kill him and Grogu because it reverted to its 'base programming' and yet Mando was still attempting to revive IG-11 again for the mission on Mandalore, showing no signs of distrust for droids at that point even though it would've made more sense. It seems like the writers of the show struggle with writing consistent characters when they're not cramming the show with nonsensical action scenes and having the characters utter empty, meaningless but supposedly 'cool' sounding dialogue. I will say though watching Mando cartoonishly chase a super battle droid made me laugh almost as much as the hilariously choreographed Bo-Katan fight at the end.

    My brother told me some interesting things from his time working on Disney SW projects (in VFX).
    Even in the Rogue One days, there was a culture of possessiveness at every level of production.
    Rather than work together towards a common goal, most were obsessed with carving out *_their_* own piece of Star Wars.
    So it's no wonder the writing feels so disjointed when you've got committees of writers & producers each driven by their own selfish desire to have their bit of SW content, no matter how poorly it fits with the overall narrative.
    There were already signs of this back in Season 1, but Mando was just starting and it didn't have quite as many vultures trying to pick at its carcass. So you'd get what felt like slightly longer stretches of coherent storytelling before being violently yanked another direction by the nepotism of some big wig director's daughter wanting her own director credit (Bryce Dallas Howard)...

      I don't really have the technical vocabulary to properly explain my thoughts, so here goes nothing. I would assume there is probably a level of understanding of frequencies/signals and advance sensor technology required to remotely hack a starships computer, and yet I'm pretty sure everyone in starwars relies on "space radar"....And pretty shit radar at that (A moon sized death star can't even scan a few hundred km to see the falcon staring at it. It's space god damn it, you should be able to scan hundreds of thousands if not millions of kms away). And they can't even detect or back trace the "pings" from other ships as well. Submarines can do that for pete's sake.
      Damn, wish I was more of a science fiction nerd. There is a point I am trying to make and this is a small portion of it, but I'm not satisfied with what I wrote.
      Well now that think about, ships can communicate with one another, so they obviously have some technology that allows them to send out signals and sensors to catch those signals, so maybe I'm being too harsh. But then again this is the same universe where people can have real time conversations with people that are hundreds of light years away on a god damn pay phone so this entire technical thought process is pointless and I should just look at it from a story's perspective. Which like you said, it is an obvious plot contrivance, whether or not the technology is justifiable...

Tractor beams already exist, which have short range but have been used in the past when a ship gets close enough that would have been a better choice because 1. They wouldn't have had to use tech only existing for this episode
      2. Mando and Bo would have had the choice to fight against the tractor beam by a light speed thrust into space or discuss if they should take the chance to see who's pulling them in

    Rags: "This is like what plays in the background on the tv in an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode. This is like a joke show that plays within a joke show."
    That is so sadly a perfect description of this episode, especially the resolution of the Jack/Chris/Lizzo's story, more than any other episode.
    Favreau and Filoni are saving Star Wars and Howard should direct the next movie, everyone.
    Although, in the last few days suddenly the conspiracy theories have changed from "Kathy is leaving any day now" to "Jon is obviously fed up with Kathy's interference and quitting any day now." Sure. I'll believe either of those when they happen. I do think it's more likely for Jon to move on, but not because of interference. Just because he might want to do other things. Or direct another shitty live action adaptation of a classic Disney cartoon animals movie. Rescue Rangers? Aristocats? Rescuers Down Under? It'd take a lot of time away from his five-page scripts.
    I do think Howard could have the potential to be a decent director, but she's obviously learning from the wrong people. If she attempts to direct outside of Lucasfilm, she'll probably fall flat on her face. As long as she stays within Lucasfilm, she'll get director jobs and the fanbase will boost her ego by praising her inept efforts and lack of developed skill in directing actors to not act like they're in a p0rn parody. Because Lucasfilm is a big circle jerk. Once you're in the LF clique, you're family and can do no wrong... until you tweet something certain people on twitter don't like. Similarly, if Filoni (Savior, Anointed Apprentice, The Maker praise his name) ever tried to write or direct outside of Star Wars, he'd probably be laughed back into Star Wars.

    What kind of warrior culture that wants to adopt a 'succcession by combat' rule allows that rule to be so damn loose that you could claim the saber and leadership of the warriors without even really engaging in combat? Like, in the Clone Wars, it made sense. Maul had to challenge the current leader, declare his intention to take the saber and the throne by winning the duel and the current leader accepts this challenge in front of an audience of Mandalorians. Now, Din tripping over the trap of some random asshole who didn't even directly come after Din, has no intention of claiming the blade and didn't actually fight Din counts as that asshole being Mandalore until Bo got the blade back. Bo could have just shoved Mando over and had just as legitimate a claim to the throne, and yet we built up all this forced tension as if she would have no choice but to fight Din to the death if she wanted the saber.
    Let's not forget that, by their bullshit rules of the darksaber, no one there actually has any claim to it. Maul beat Bo-Katan's previous boss and claimed the dark saber from him, then Maul got beaten by Palpatine, and Palpatine got beaten by Vader, who then technically got beat by Palpatine, who then got beat by Lando blowing up the Death Star 2.
