NM reread post
Yeah, I was wondering if they were going to do something with that.
I sent that to my kid, who is LOSING IT. Chopper is her favorite. Over R2, over BB8. She loves that little asshole because he’s chaotic good. I think when he murdered the other droid by kicking him out of the ship was when she knew she was in love.
My wife and I have just played our way through the recent Monkey Island game. It was nice seeing LeChuck in a live action show 
I must have missed that.
It’s near the beginning. Remember the former statue of IG-11? It’s a bit more…abstract…now.
I only just got caught up tonite, but since there was a lot of discussion a few weeks ago about if Din fell or got dragged down, he fell. Din says he fell and he didn’t realize it was so deep. Then Starbuck says “It wasn’t. The bombings from the Purge must have triggered seismic activities.” So, apparently, it used to be a shallow pool or whatever, but now it’s got a deep end and its own mythosaurus. If someone else explained this and I missed it, sorry.
Yes, I caught that too. Clearly my speculation was way off.
I still think it would have made for a better story, though! 
I was thinking the same thing.
“Well, we finally finished our long hike to the nest, but before we actually try to save the kid, let’s get a good night’s rest.”
I just realized - since I just finished bingeing the first 5 episodes - that they explained it in the following episode. Bingeing it all in a row made me think it all happened in the one episode, so it was pointless of me to point it out since it hadn’t been explained yet when everyone was discussing it.
The dangers of bingeing.
This week’s episode was… not bad, not great.
The whole thing seemed joltingly illogical. Apollo Creed escapes with the civilians and it’s like eighty people from an entire city? The X-wing pilot from Kim’s Convenience flies all the way to Coruscant and back out to the outer rim and all that accomplishes is telling the Mandalorian what’s happening?
We did end up at least pushing forward what’s happening with the Mandalorians as a people, in a way that makes sense and gives Bo Katan a clear purpose. Still, this just ain’t the same show.
I don’t get why he didn’t just sweep the leg.
When the X-wing pilot guy was examining the Lambda shuttle blast hole with the probe, who else was expecting Ben Gardner’s head to pop out?
Yeah, they’re falling into the “Game of Thrones final seasons” trap here. They’re brushing over travel times in service of telling the story. We need to see how the New Republic is making the same mistakes both the Empire and the Old Republic made vis a vis a heavily centralized government in a galaxy-spanning civilization*, but at the same time, we can’t really make the civilians live under Pirate Rule for months on end, or there would be very little left to rescue by the time the Mandalorians find out the villagers are in peril.
*While I was watching this whole sequence, I was thinking about the Original Star Wars scene where Tarkin announces that the Emperor has dissolved the senate: “The regional governors now have direct control over their territories.” It struck me that, Evil Sith Tyranny aside, that was actually a better governmental structure than what we saw here: Having to fly half-way across the galaxy to ask permission to deal with a pirate attack that was having purely local effects. It would be as if the FBI was the only police force in the United States, and needed orders from Washington to arrest anyone.
It would have been so easy to fix that by simply not having the pirates bombard the city. Just have them sweep in, clearly outgun the city, and then demand tribute and come down and occupy the admin building. That situation could exist for weeks. In fact, you could explicitly have the pirate king guy say he’s doing this in part to get the Mandalorian to show himself.
I always think of him as Carl Weathers.
My wife and I can not trim some meat, begin to throw away the excess, without saying, “Whoa. Put that in a pot…and you got a stew going on!”
What happened to Red (R5-D-4) after Kim blew his cover? Did he get a ride home in the X-Wing or was he abandoned to the wrath of the Mandalorians he betrayed?
I blame JJ Abrams’ lack of understanding of how big space is for turning lightspeed jumping from something that takes hours or days to being something you can do in a few seconds.
This season seems to be falling into the same trap Book of Boba Fett did with having everything be on too small a scale, where Boba was supposedly daimyo of an entire planet with a militia consisting of like ten guys, half of whom are teenagers on Vespas. The entire planet of Nevarro apparently consists of one city with a few hundred inhabitants, with no militia or surface-to-air defense, and their plan in case of attack is to flee into the desert with no cover. The King of the Pirates has an armada consisting of a single frigate and a few dozen guys. He takes over the planet because his ruffians are apparently extremely picky about where they like to hang out and get drunk, and he is outgunned and defeated by two starfighters, one of which might as well be an antique muscle car. Meanwhile, the Republic’s outpost in the sector apparently consists of a dozen or so guys with a few old X-wings. And meanwhile meanwhile, you have Moff Gideon, a war criminal who bombed an entire planet into glass and presumably killed several billion people in the process, being brought to trial on a small transport with a crew of two, no armament or armor or onboard security, no ability to send a distress signal, and no fighter escort, and nobody has apparently even bothered confirming that he’s missing until the local beat cop stumbles upon the wreck by accident.
This is a space western, but you can’t just copy-paste “bandits have taken over the trading post” and “the stagecoach was attacked by Apaches” one-for-one and expect it to still make sense.
Pretty sure he was back flying with Din during the battle.
You mean from “Jaws”?
