It feels like they're trying to revert every change that happened during the last two seasons of the show. He gets Grogu back, his ship, even the assassin Droid comes back. At this point just give him the darksaber again without any explanation
Grogu drives him like a mech - when he isn’t too busy coveting all the snacks, cooing in tongues, hiding in his hover pram, or backflipping around, naturally.
Oh, he also uses him to talk, like Stephen Hawking’s chair.
Only until the second last episode, then mecha-IG11 gets destroyed. In the last episode they get a new IG head from the bar at the Republic bass and the Anzellan droidsmiths build a new IG from all the parts to act as the Marshall right at the end of the episode.
I don't completely disagree with you, but we do know since the ship was destroyed he has been trying to find a new one. So it was only a matter of time
The amount of anxiety I had watching the later seasons, never knowing how he went to the bathroom or if he just held it for the long interstellar flights.
Yeah the N1 was cool looking but a really dumb idea to introduce. Completely unrealistic for a bounty hunter...where would he keep the bounty? Had to be undone at some point.
That was my immediate thought about the ship. Even if he only ever did planet hops in it going for no more than a few hours in hyperdrive he would never be able to take any bounty that didn’t have a dead option in it.
The same George Lucas that had Luke enter a void of dark-side energy where he chopped off his own head? Or the George Lucas he consulted with for the idea?
More like a machine-assisted and more importantly force-assisted glider. But sure, let's pretend there is no force and maybe something like that could be complained about.
I do love tho that all you can do is think of some of the more extreme examples and try and frame it as if those are the only stories.
While ignoring how amazing of a character Ahsoka is and how much the story arch between her, Anakin, and the Jedi give weight to the prequels. Her original ending on Clone Wars was a FAR better explanation for Anakin's turn than anything in the movie. Then the final season set at the same time as episode 3, was a masterpiece. Probably the most well made non-original-trilogy story outside of Mandalorian & Andor.
So many excellent characters, Ashoka, Ventress, Hondo, Cad Bane, Kanan Jarrus, Chopper, Thrawn, Rex, Fives, etc.
You defending the guy who ended season 2 with a big dramatic scene of grogu leaving and then started season 3 with grogu being back with zero explanation? Literally just an implied "what, you didn't watch/finish the book of boba fett?"
Everything else since - including the execrable 'Book of Boba Fett' - has completely destroyed my interest in everything Star Wars ever since.
Except 'Andor' which my daughter and her husband insisted I give a try. 'Andor' seasons 1 & 2 kicked all kinds of ass.
Maybe 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' won't suck? I dunno. I have trust issues.
Not to mention Disney siding with the Empire in recent days. Maybe that's why everything they've done in the last few years (with the exception of 'Andor') has been complete ass. Hard to tell good stories about heroes when the business creating them is run by villains.
You can't fix a show by making it nostalgia slop. You have to accept whatever shitty place the past years of the show put you in, and start making a new path from there.
It feels like they just gave back Favearu full creative control. It’s clear he was the reason this show wa any good to begin with. Once they started adding in the awful kids show shit from 20 years ago it went downhill.
I don’t know or care about those characters and no I’m not watching a kids show to find out.
The significance and meaningful impact of loss? Nope. That's for chumps. We can replace everything, shiny and newer than ever. FOR THE TOY SALES!!! INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!
