I'd think they'd be frozen and fall off... Or maybe dry on the way out of the atmosphere then evaporate as the stark sunlight hits it?

Or the CG team forgot.

The ship will eventually pass into a layer of the atmosphere with no moisture/ precipitation. Friction between air molecules and the outer surface of the vessel would remove any water prior to exiting the atmosphere. Actually, with supersonic aircraft, this friction causes the outer surface to become hot.

Lots of ways the finale can go.  They setup a cliffhanger with a main character that needs rescued, just like Season 2.  

I expected them to tie in Ashoka to this season as a teaser, but not sure how that fits.  Plus, that would be a repeat of Luke showing up to save the day in the Season 2 finale.  

I also expected the Mithosour to be utilized (Grogu taming), but that would be a repeat of Boba Fett finale.

I am pretty certain that we will see Grogu master pilotting IG12, using the force to replicate IG11's badassary.

I hope there is a confrontation with Moff Gideon and redemption for Grogu/ IG-12.

When water reaches the vacuum of space it instantly boils due to the loss of pressure.  The vapor then passes immediately into the solid state because of the ambient temperature of space, and you end up with a cloud of very fine crystals of frozen water.

No, water would boil off due to the low/no atmospheric pressure.

I had this thought that Grogu is somehow going to get ahold of the Darksaber and use IG-12 to show everyone what he learned at the Jedi Academy.

If Ahsoka shows up she could bring him yodas light saber.

He could use it like a cavalry saber as he leads his droid army into battle while riding on his noble steed, ig12.

ETA - now that I think of it, there was a time when Mandalorians rode huge battle droids into battle.

The SR71 leaked like a strainer on the ground and once it was airborne and heated up, the gaps in the fuel tank would seal up.

The water should boil off almost instantly in vacuum. It doesn't take a whole lot of heat to boil water when there's no air pressure to keep it liquid.

It's like spilling butane from a butane lighter in atmo.

Surely Gideon sent his amnesty spy in to help keep eyes away from that AO, with mandalore being a reported death trap and no radio waves its a good hide out

I think my favorite part of Disney Star Wars is how you can take an entire planet with one light cruiser and less than a company sized force.  

Now bear with me as I nerd out.

The Star Wars credit is roughly equal to a dollar.  See Youtube

An ISD costs 150.000.000  credits. By comparison, a USN Burke class destroyer costs about $1.8 billion , and the USN has 70 active. So you could afford 12 Star Destroyers for every Burke, or 840 Star Destroyers for what the USA, one single country occupying part of one planet, spends on destroyers.  Considering that the Star Wars galaxy is roughly equivalent to ours, that means there could be a million inhabitable worlds, and if only 1/10 of those are colonized, and only 1/10 of the colonized worlds have a significant population, that's still 10,000 industrialized worlds.  The size of Star Wars fleets should be so massive it would be hard to comprehend.  

But you can take a planet with less than a company.  

As an aside, Legend of Galactic Heroes is one of the few shows to attempt to scale realistic fleet battles for galaxy-spanning empires.

That's the physical limitations of filming a TV show. In the original EU books, it took entire legit fleets with hundreds of thousands to millions of beings to conquer systems.

Mandalore is essentially uninhabited.

I think credits are more like 1:10 USD.  Still makes a Star Destroyer very cheap, but economies of scale (Kuat Drive Yards supposedly built 25,000+), and advanced-technology brings the cost down.


I've been meaning to watch LoGH for a long time now.  Really should get on that.  I don't watch the animes normally.
