View Quote 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. |

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.

She's not wearing a jet pack. How are Mando and Grogu surviving the massive G-forces involved in those aerial maneuvers? I suppose you could hand wave it by saying that the ships generate their own gravity, and that mechanism could somehow be compensating... Saturday Night Live guy is in it? nice... I wish Chris Farley was still around so we could see him pilot an X-wing. "HOLY SCHNIKIES DID YOU SEE THAT! MY THING IS CAUGHT IN MY ZIPPER AND I'VE GOT PISS ALL OVER MYSELF!" They're going to frame the Mandalorians using Beskar? Isn't Beskar all over the place, used as a form of currency? Why is Captain Teva talking to a logistics guy to get help? Isn't there, like, an operational chain of command? Maybe like a Colonel or something located close by, so that he doesn't need to wander off by his lonesome to Courasant? Reunite the other Mandalorians? Is this a novel concept that never occurred to Bo-Katan while she was draping her leg over her throne chair all that time? |

This is the way. |

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. |

Plus now we get to see Moff Chicken Man again hopefully. |

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. |
