View Quote 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. |

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. |

My guess is...
Click To View Spoiler We're going to see the TIE Interceptors swarming the Mando fleet, bombers lumbering into position, characters on the bridge of the Arquitens staring at their doom approaching... and then Teva in his X-Wing, leading Adelphi squadron, slash in on the bombers. With the concrete evidence of Moff Gideon being missing and Mandalorians being involved, he either went to Navarro and learned from Karga where they went, or he went to Mandalore on a hunch to see what was up.

I'm curious if the republic shows up or just a few x wings, as the outer rim pilot will be looking for the mandalorians who are at mandalore.
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.

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.

at some point David had to pick up that rock....

I was underwhelmed by the episode.
Click To View Spoiler I keep getting sucked out of the fantasy world by dumb decisions that keep happening.
I'm not a Star Wars buff so I will screw up names. There are a growing list of characters who I just can't stand. One of them is Moff Gideon himself. That actor is a one trick pony and every scene he is in I immediately realize "oh these are just actors" and get pulled out of the story. Something about the Darth Vader wannabe outfit and a generic 65 year old dude in it... I just can't get past it. I found myself saying to my wife "our parents' generation got Darth Vader and we get this loser". He also constantly does monologues, which I think are AWFUL storytelling. The monologues also require him to be alone and in control while catching another character alone... and the plot contorts a ton of story and character behavior to make it happen to the point of disbelief. I think in the original Star Wars they had GOOD monologues with proper motivation trying to get people to come to the dark side. This one has constant "let me tell you my plans" monologues. I also loathe the little angry faced bitch who's scowling face is shown every other scene. Remember, she was with Bo Katan when we first met them and matched BOBA FETT in a fight. She's also a horrible actress. They also have the Mandalorians constantly doing dumb shit. Things like: - How have you been surviving on Mandalore for 30 years and don't know about this monster creature? - When you're walking around expecting to be attacked at any moment, why the fuck are you taking your helmet off? - If weapons are your religion, why the fuck wouldn't you get the Dark Saber and cut through the door separating you from Din Djarin IMMEDIATELY when it closes? On and on. My wife's comment at the end when I asked what she thought was "well I didn't fall asleep". |
