Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: That would be The Duchess. Bo-Katan gave her shit for the name. "You named your weapon after my sister?" It's sort of interesting that all of these people were originally Deathwatch. Bo-katan, the night owls, clan Wren, clan Visla... They all took different paths through the Maul/imperial occupation but they were all Deathwatch in the beginning. None of them were aligned with Satine Kryze. I guess everyone else got killed in the purge. I think the whole helmet thing is leading up to a big reveal of who the armorer is, she's kept her helmet on since the purge to hide her identity and the time for hiding is about over. I may be wrong and she's just a new character but the whole helmet thing is odd if it isn't purposeful. |

Mando - why did the armorer choose BKK and not Din to rally the Mandalorians around? |

Bo gathers clan and house leaders to try to unite them. She borrows Ezra's lightsaber from Sabine and challenges Din and after a long, brutal lightsaber fight she gets the win by disarming Din and he yields. |

So in this week's episode of "It's Not That Kind of Movie," we ask why lava-flats world has no defenses. This is a universe where individuals can afford effective starfighters. And if you believe legends, a used Y-wing costs 65,000 credits, with a credit being a roughly 1-1 equivalent to the USD. A couple squadrons of those and the pirates go bye-bye. The only in-universe reason I can think of is that everyone is still stupidly retarded about security after the thousands of years of relying on the Old Republic and the Jedi.

Framing the Mandolorians with fragments of beskar is a very Thrawn move.

If you notice...no where Mando goes seems to have any defenses. There is the occasional patrol of 2-3 New Republic fighters...but no capital ships and fighter squadrons at each planet. Which is a complaint that I have had for a while. It would have also been a great way to bring in ships from the old canon like the Cloakshape or Preybird. |

You don't have to go that far out from a gravity well to make a jump, and only state actors have Interdictors. You'd pretty much be jumping from Green Zone to Green Zone. Like why was Mando just casually flying normal space earlier this season when he got jumped? |

As for hyperspace...you need to get out of the gravity well and get the navi-computer to plot a course...that takes time. Add in evasive maneuvers while pirates are trying to shoot out engines or shut the ship down with ion weapons. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chris0013: I would rather she wins it from Din directly. Does not have to be a fight to the death. Bo gathers clan and house leaders to try to unite them. She borrows Ezra's lightsaber from Sabine and challenges Din and after a long, brutal lightsaber fight she gets the win by disarming Din and he yields. Uh oh. RIP Din's arm. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chris0013: Even somewhere like Nevarro should have 2-3 squadrons of fighters for defense. As for hyperspace...you need to get out of the gravity well and get the navi-computer to plot a course...that takes time. Add in evasive maneuvers while pirates are trying to shoot out engines or shut the ship down with ion weapons. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: The Imps had Carrack Class Light Cruisers for far out locations. They carried typical two to three TIE Figthers and did routine sector patrols for smugglers and pirates. If they got into a tussle, they'd call for a Victory Class or an Imperial MkII for help. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: Originally Posted By Chris0013: But there was generally an Imperial presence shown on most worlds.

As well as planetary garrisons with fighters. Originally Posted By happycynic: Originally Posted By Chris0013: Even somewhere like Nevarro should have 2-3 squadrons of fighters for defense.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chris0013: If you notice...no where Mando goes seems to have any defenses. There is the occasional patrol of 2-3 New Republic fighters...but no capital ships and fighter squadrons at each planet. Which is a complaint that I have had for a while. It would have also been a great way to bring in ships from the old canon like the Cloakshape or Preybird. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chris0013: Originally Posted By happycynic: So in this week's episode of "It's Not That Kind of Movie," we ask why lava-flats world has no defenses. This is a universe where individuals can afford effective starfighters. And if you believe legends, a used Y-wing costs 65,000 credits, with a credit being a roughly 1-1 equivalent to the USD. A couple squadrons of those and the pirates go bye-bye. The only in-universe reason I can think of is that everyone is still stupidly retarded about security after the thousands of years of relying on the Old Republic and the Jedi.

I want to see some Dreadnaughts from the original Thrawn trilogy. They would be ideal frontier patrol ships. Plus relatively cheap to produce, if the size of the Dark Force is any indication. Ooh. And some live action Mon Cal cruisers. |

Ditto. That’s just a semi-rogue faction. Plus now we get to see Moff Chicken Man again hopefully. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: In the original EU, the fleets were MASSIVE. There were something like 25,000 Imperial MkII Star Destroyers built alone. That's not counting all the frigates, Victory Clesses, Dreadnought, and all the leftovers from the Clone Wars. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: Originally Posted By stoner01: Not even the empire had ships on every planet. That's why they had sector fleets I think that 25,000 figure is only referenced once, in the first Hand of Thrawn novel. No battles I ever read about had anything approaching even a fraction of that. In the X Wing novels, which did some of the best worldbuilding for the military logistics, just a few Imp Deuces were considered a decisive force in some battles. The race to find the Dark Force, 200 (600?) mid sized cruisers a fraction of the size of an ISD2, was considered an existential crisis. |
