Episode 10 felt like a filler episode the first time I watched it. Went back and watched it a second time and enjoyed it more.

Quoted: The last one was great! Baby Yoda give Mando the stink-eye, Mando just shrugs. One of the better scenes of the episode. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: When those bounty hunters sent Baby Yoda tumbling across the sand with the rope, I thought "Yep, those guys have to die." The last one was great! Baby Yoda give Mando the stink-eye, Mando just shrugs. One of the better scenes of the episode. I laughed at that scene from the second that bounty hunter plopped on the sand to the look BY gave Mando. What species was that? I think it was the same species that encountered Rey on Jakku when she saved BB-8. Hell, may have been the same one. |

Quoted: I think that traveling sublight across interstellar distances stresses the idea of suspension of disbelief further than I'd prefer in my TV show. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: It did kind of annoy me that they were traveling sublight between star systems, not only that but when the cops pulled up next to him there happened to be a planet right below to escape to. Oh well. Still the best thing on TV, and it ain't close. So you thought the new republic cops should have been patrolling deep space in x wings? Where else would they be? I think that traveling sublight across interstellar distances stresses the idea of suspension of disbelief further than I'd prefer in my TV show. It's not like this is the first instance of it. The Falcon flew from Hoth to Anoat to Bespin sublight(no, there wasn't a backup hyperdrive), Luke from Hoth to Dagobah and possibly to Bespin, Finn saw the Hosnian system destroyed with his naked eye from Takodana. Hyperspace is commonly referred to as lightspeed, Han says he can go point 3 past lightspeed. Screen canon is pretty clear that the SW galaxy is very small and very dense. I don't care what fans have invented to say otherwise. |

Still haven't watched the new episode. My daughter and I watch it together and she wasn't feeling it last night after work. If I watch it without her she'll get mad.

The fact that there have been other instances of a plot hole manifesting doesn't make it any less of a plot hole. |

Quoted: Don’t X-wings have hyperdrive? View Quote In the EU, yes. In Ep 4-6 we never see one enter or exit hyperspace unless following another ship. So probably but not 100% confirmed. Even if they do, Luke was definitely flying in real space while talking with R2 about keeping it on manual. |

Just imagine facing a ship with 40 odd tubolasers that should only be able to bring maybe 15-25 of them to bear at once, when all of a sudden you start seeing energy fire streaking in from a single point on the circular ring, 40 cannons' worth. |

The EU has never been considered canon. Until Disney bought the franchise, if it wasn't in one of Lucas' movies it wasn't part of the canon. It wasn't G canon. All Star Wars fans considered it legitimate canon, and in fact a lot of G Canon borrowed heavily from the EU during production of the prequels. In the end, these are all fictional stories. None of them are real. What we consider legitimate is basically the aggregation of what fans like to talk and think about. |

Quoted: X-Wings are shown exiting hyperspace in ROTJ at the Battle of Endor. View Quote Quoted: In the assault on the second Death Star, X Wings emerged from hyperspace alongside the cruisers and bombers. View Quote Following the Falcon, as I said. Hyperdrive is never really explained. It's possible they used 'the fastest ship in the fleet' to open a window that everyone else jumped through. Explains why the ships jump one at a time when they reach that point in space rather than all at once. Even if I'm way off base, it doesn't matter. If you watch TESB Luke is clearly flying in real space. Plus we have the 100% confirmed real space flights of the Falcon and Razorcrest that drove part of the story. It's not a plot hole when it's literally the plot. |

We are given no indication that Luke was piloting his X wing sublight between any of those planets. Therefore, X Wings have hyperdrive. |

I know the second baby yoda looked at those fish eggs he was going to eat them.

He had two functioning rocket packs, why did he have to walk the entire way back after the ambush?

Too much weight with all of the other stuff he carried?
I woulda figured the ambushers had a speeder nearby. |

Quoted: He had two functioning rocket packs, why did he have to walk the entire way back after the ambush?

Seems there should have been at least one vehicle around for him to take possession of. |

That was the worst episode so far, IMHO.
Still 87x better than any of the Disney trilogy movies though. |

I seem to remember in Rebels there being an incapacitated ship a time or two. The only way to get it into hyperdrive was to have it physically dock with another ship and hang on for the ride.

The description of the X-Wing even way back then noted that it was designed from the outset to have a hyperdrive. Just like the Y-wing. Correct. The Rebellion’s typical strategy was to hyper jump in, strike quickly, and hyper jump back out. They did not have the numbers to stick around for a fair fight nor the capital ships to move fighters. Y-Wings were a relic at the Battle of Yavin as older Clone-Wars era ships that were basically stolen surplus (See Rebels cartoon). But fit the multi-functional strike role well with a Hyperdrive and patched together shield upgrades. X-Wings were newer Space Superiority Fighters at The Battle of Yavin (and in Rogue One) Their capabilities were Perfect match for the Rebellions growing needs in the war. I always saw them as the F-14 Tomcat vs the Empire’s standard TIE fighter (MiG 21). Of course the Empire had better TIE models but not on quantity. |

Really enjoying watching this show with my 9 year old daughter. She was a wreck when the ice creatures started attacking.

Just once I wish Mando could cross something off his to-do list without having a bunch of extra shit dropped in his lap. I don't mean the main quest. Just 1. Go to this planet. Not 1. Go to this planet but first take this frog with you and you can't use hyperdrive and you have to deal with dickhead cops and ice spiders and for the love of God they stretched this plot more than the Hobbit movies.

Well, looks like I started a storm. Look, my fan theory is equally as worthless as everyone else's. I believe mine fits screen canon better than most, but it doesn't really matter. As far as canon goes, screen vs EU are almost separate universes. EU says Xwings have hyperdrives, very powerful shields, 6 torpedoes, etc. Screen canon is a different story, and that's ok. Just as long as the Sun Crusher is banished from memory forever.
