Still I wouldn't put it past the creators to imply a double meaning there. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MarkMustang: I'm really enjoying it. I like the slow pace, the character development, and the world-building. Think about all the plot holes in Eps 7-9 and how NOTHING made sense, but make it go fast for the sake of action (exhibit a: Poe Damron: "They can fly now?!") I absolutely loved how Luthen Rael put himself into character with the hot towel, wig and the opulent clothing and jewelry. And then ran through the mannerisms. Amazing acting that we really don't see in SW. The set design is great - the ISB building being super clean and white (matching their uniforms), which is directly in opposition the the typical Imperial gray/black color scheme we're used to seeing. The interaction of the head guy in charge and how he manages his people - familiar, yet different than we've seen in the past from Imperial leadership (it's the same reason I love Grand Admiral Thrawn, even though the two characters are pretty different than each other. I thought it was neat that Coruscant was very gray and oppressive - which felt different that how we saw it in the prequels and Clone Wars. The mood fits the time period. There's a lot about this show I love. I hope we get more of this in Star Wars. +1 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gotigers: It isnt that it is slow, but the flashbacks and filler time seem a bit long and empty. I am not a total fan of the pace. Story, characters, etc, yes. I do feel it is a very good series. The CGI, cinematography and scenery (well directing) is top notch. It feels like a prequal without the bad CGI and weak dialogue. Of course, no dumbass Jar Jar to F it up. Mon Mothma's speeder was freakin sweet. Nope, it’s perfect at this current pace. Tired of these instant blow shit up and we win episodes that SW has been cranking out across the last few shows. This one is a lot darker and more intricate. As it should be. |

I went back and watched Rogue One the other day before watching the latest Andor episode, and it made the series seem even more awesome. Lots of little hints at the whole pre- Rogue One stuff that one might not catch. |

If they would have cut of the fsb, and used a 5rnd mag tigged to a disc/pan, nobody would be commenting.
Just laziness. The sterlings were folded with stub mags, into a US market.... Coulda used cetme L with no mag and it would uave looked better. |

The sterlings were folded with stub mags, into a US market.... Coulda used cetme L with no mag and it would uave looked better. People are acting like they just used AKs. The receiver of the gun was highly modified, it looked absolutely nothing like an AK. The FSB was also modified, if not for the shape of the handguards and the gas block nobody would’ve had a clue what it was. Almost all Star Wars guns look a lot like real guns and as far as modifications go these were more extensive than most. Disney deserves a lot of criticism for decisions they’ve made, but this is goofy. |

Finally watched EP3. Definitely headed in the right direction. I hear they are already planning a season 2 that will lead into Rogue 1. The upside is that they can’t drag it out since we know Cassian has an expiration date.
On another note, where are you guys finding the best source for the helmets? Would love a Boba Fett and all the different Stormtrooper ones. Would really love a Scout Trooper and Shore Trooper one. |

That heavily depends on how screen accurate you want it to be and how much you’re willing to spend. Etsy could be the cheapest option if you want screen accurate, but that’s going to require you finishing it yourself. There are companies out there that make perfectly accurate replicas, but they’re $500-$1000 and the inside is completely bare on a lot of them. Most of mine are Hasbro Black Series, they’re mostly accurate aside from a few minor details, the insides are pretty well done and they’re only $100-$150. One issue with these is that they’re done in waves, so specific helmets are often out of production at a given time. Boba Fett helmets were just recently rereleased so they’re easy to get. Regular Stormtroopers are currently out of production, but the Artillery variant from The Mandalorian is about to be released. The only other trooper they make is the First Order Stormtrooper, though Clones were announced yesterday. |

I have a few complaints about each of them but overall they’re really good, especially for display. I’m going to do a custom at some point, fixing all the inaccuracies and doing a realistic paint job. I just haven’t yet decided which one to do. |

Another +1 for the Hasbro Black Series helmets. I have a tom of them (2 Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, Shadowtrooper, FO Stormtrooper, Vader, Mando, Luke's Red 5). I missed Kylo Ren and regret it. I love the design of that helmet. I tool a chance and ordered a Captain Rex from a Russian outfit called CyberCraft. It's pretty sturdy and comfortable. Paint is good, although the weld marks are just painted. My only complaint is the rangefinder just sucks on it (never wants to stay up).
