She was like a fucking Wraith, cutting a whole company of soldiers down, while fading in and out of view. And her garb was pretty unsettling compared to most Jedi. The show does way better than even the original trilogy in showing how mystic and terrifying the Force is to regular people That was really cool, I agree. I also liked the sabers SFX. They sounded powerful. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people still assumed she was answering to Gideon, but it would be nice to see that built up. Biggest flaw of the show is it always makes me want more MORE. Even though it was longer then the other two episodes before it, WE WANT MORE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Again, turning her into a fucking Space Ronin was the best thing they could have done with her character She's so badass. And i'm suprised how much Rosaria added to her character, while keeping her Ahsoka (the little smile she gave that soldier, her cocky arrogance, her brutal Vader-esque take-down, she really is Anakin's apprentice.

The Good Doctor Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I missed last week, so I got to watch two in a row this time. It felt way better that way. 20-30 minutes just isn’t enough. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like they were just using Mandalorian to set up some other storyline that they’ll be doing in some other show, which I’m not a fan of in any series. I’d be surprised if Thrawn becomes a villain for Mando when he’s already dealing with Gideon. I was worried about Ahsoka coming across this way, but tbh the Thrawn thing felt more out of place than she did. For her part, I felt like she served the Mandalorian story pretty well. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What i'm glad about is the episode did alot to develop little Grogu. I was worried he was going to be kind of aMacguffin who makes cute noises throughout the entire series, but by giving him name, and pretty sad backstory, they've already added alot to him. And all those smaller interactions, like him force choking Cara, really fit with the revelation he has alot of fear and anxiety about losing Djin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff fleshing him out was probably the highlight for me. It explained a lot, and even filled a couple of what used to seem like plot holes. He’s also been kind of annoying me this season with the constant eating jokes and repetitive cutesy stuff. It was nice seeing the show take him seriously again. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Dave directed some of the weaker episodes last season, so i'm glad he got to do such a banger There was alot of references to the Old Republic. Typon (the Jedi Homeworld were finally seeing next episode in live action!) And those were HK Assassin Droids! (MEATBAG!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, that planet reminded me a lot of Morrowind. But I guess that’s pretty part and parcel for Star Wars considering that alongside Dune it was a major inspiration for the game. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And out in the wilderness I got both swampy and Ashland vibes, with those big monsters being kinda like reptilian silt striders. Plus the gloomy fog made for a similarly short draw distance. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 @BigBossBalrog @The Good Doctor another reason Ahsoka refused to train him is because she’s not a Jedi anymore and hasn’t been since the Clone Wars. Mango explained that he was tasked with being Grogu to a Jedi. Ahsoka refuses to pick up the title in rebels and never openly calls herself a Jedi after leaving the order. 1 Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango explained that he was tasked with being Grogu to a Jedi. Ahsoka refuses to pick up the title in rebels and never openly calls herself a Jedi after leaving the order. But she never tells Mando that. From his perspective, he basically accomplished his mission only to let her talk him out of it at the last second. Ahsoka promised to take Baby Goku if he helped her, which he did, then she sent him packing with some vague reasoning that a non-Jedi who barely knows what the Force is couldn’t possibly understand. I think Mando should’ve pushed back more than he did. She lied to him and he just kind of just rolled over and took it. I’d have liked it more if he argued a bit, then she finally admitted she wasn’t a Jedi. Mando is zealous enough that I think he’s one of the few people in Star Wars who would actually acknowledge the technicality, so at that point he’d leave of his own volition. I could also see it working if she was using the Force mind game stuff to influence him, but that would be pretty sinister for her character. To me, even with the "not a real Jedi" thing, the lead she sends him on still doesn’t really make a lot of sense. She left the order because she was disillusioned with them. If Baby Goku is getting trained in the Force regardless, why would she, someone who ditched the Jedi because they did her dirty, think that a Jedi would be better suited for training him? If anything, you’d think she of all people would think that they’re more likely to create another Vader, considering she blames them for the last one. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I actually kinda love the idea of her finally agreeing to do it, only for crazy Mando to find out she’s not a real Jedi and then to be like "No bitch, this isn’t the way!" And take off on his own. This should’ve happened. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The eldritch monster was the lighthouse itself, the light, which reveals the truth, and it was eye shaped. It stared back into him and revealed things about himself. The murder he committed, and his own gayness. This movie was a gay coming out story and the eldritch abomination was his own gayness. Pretty fucked up tbh "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
