Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hunter-Killer: Darksaber Questions: 1. Do we know specifically how Moff Gideon got it from Bo-Katan? 2. Din Djarin was defeated by the mech creature and Din Djarin lost the Darksaber to it (technically it was lying on the ground) Then Bo-Katan defeated the mech creature. Wouldn't that mean it was her's now? Or does it not count because the mech creature never "took possession"? WTF? I didn't expect them to actually do something that lame.  |

It was an OK episode, but the dark saber thing made my eyes roll.
So let me get this straight... Dumbledore...I mean Din.... was disarmed by the Malfoy...errr...I mean mecha-Shelob... Malfoy...I mean mecha-Shelob... damn it.... was defeated by Harry Potter...errrr....Bo Katan So the Elder Wand...shit...I meant Dark Saber...belongs to ..... You guys get the idea  I loved the first 2 seasons, but this one seems like the writers are just ripping stuff directly out of other movies and phoning it in. Here's hoping the last 2 episodes do something original to expand the lore. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fredegar: Originally Posted By Hunter-Killer: And, considering this could be the last season, hopefully don’t end on a cliffhanger. Anything is possible, but I think it’s highly unlikely this is the last season. If you look at it objectively, it’s definitely not “highly unlikely.” Earlier seasons were costing a reported $15M per episode. S3 is undoubtedly costing even more. Some estimates put it over $20M an episode. For reference: GoT S8’s 6 episodes were $15M each and it was the most expensive show in the history of TV. Now, it’d be one thing if Mando was bringing in the viewers. However, not only are the ratings not good. They dropping off a fuckin’ cliff.  Attached File |

Another entertaining episode. Lizzo is a bad actress but every Star Wars has been filled with bad actors, especially the original trilogy. It doesn't take away from the entertainment value of a series/movie about fake creatures and people in a fake galaxy a long time ago.

As to the lore rebuilding. The Dark saber hand off is one of the big things that eerks me.
I think I understand what they are doing. Getting all the Mando’s back together and that this means some compromise for all of them in reference to the individual factions beliefs. But we have been down this road of a dark saber hand off. It didn’t go well for anyone. It’s the one belief they all have in common. It makes no damn sense. If Bo trips on root and falls down and drops the saber in a fight. All someone has to do it pick it up and kill her opponent and boom. They are mandalor the great 3.0. It cheapens it all down. I don’t like it. As to Lizzo. I don’t think that will be an issue. She doesn’t have much time left on earth as unhealthy as she is. She is going to punch out before the story circles back around to that planet. I hope. |

I liked the episode, and the dark Saber explanation didn't bother me at all. I made the same argument when Bo saved Din. It is a stupid dogma anyways; like the helmet thing. Din explaining why Bo is the rightful owner was like me exploiting a loophole in some silly game that my kids made up.
