All Star Wars

Oh wow, lots to say but first of all...

Spoiler

I'd like to pour one out for the Razor Crest, my favorite new ship of Disney's Star Wars. I love you, you big dumb space minivan, and I will miss you.

If Kuiil was still around he'd rebuild it.

I'm also glad because that dull retcon was corrected 

Moff Gideon's cruiser has some nice pre-Imperial vibes. In particular the Venator-class Star Destroyer. About certaing Gideon's project...

Spoiler

Although they are probably not finished yet, the Dark Troopers look like Ironman-ish droids. Maybe Grogu is required for something else

I still think the cloning facility we saw a while back is used for Project Snoke.

I'd say that was supposed to be obvious.  I get that a lot of people hated the sequels and don't want this show to connect to them, but I think it's silly to think it won't.

Yeah, that was brutal.  It does raise a big question for me though:

Spoiler

Why didn't Boba Fett just march into Mos Pelgo and take his armor back from Cobb Vanth?  Vanth is no pushover, but Fett is clearly on another level given his displays of badassery in this episode.

And I guess they finally settled the mystery regarding the Fetts' heritage.

I agree there, thought that myself. Although not necessarily a bad thing, the scripting of the episodes throughout the whole show does seem to aim for the - "This bad guy got my thing so i'll get it back" , type simplicity. The series has (for me) only got kind of deeper in specific spots like the empire facility episode. Everything else is kinda - go here, get this, fight him.

I let it slide mostly because it reminds me of 90's shows and really it just seems to work for the most part.

Spoiler

If I had to guess, I'd imagine that Boba didn't know where the armor was until that first episode this season, when he watched Din leave with it while he was peering over the cliffside. He probably went into town to get info from Cobb (hence knowing who Cobb was), which sent him on his chase to Din and he's probably been a few steps behind him this whole season before finally catching up.

Seems slightly unrealistic given the time frame, but I get what you mean.

I am really curious to find out who Grogu connected with on the Seeing Stone.

[close]

Oh about that!

Spoiler

Do you think it could be Ezra?

Definitely a possibility. But I'm hoping for...

Spoiler

Luke.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Spoiler

I actually don't think there's a chance of it being Ezra. Just because, if I had to guess, Ahsoka probably already tried to use the Seeing Stone to look for Ezra (hence her being so familiar with what it is and how it works) and was unable to reach him, hence moving on to try to pry information from people like the Magistrate with Thrawn connections.

I have a feeling that whoever Grogu spoke to, if anyone, he likely told them that he wants to stay with Din rather than be trained.

That would be another whole dimension to my enjoyment 



Speaking about Grogu, you guys noticed...

Spoiler

that Grogu seemed to be displaying dark side traits when he was attacking the stormtroopers in front of Gideon

Grogu: Anyone there?
Palpatine voice: I have waited a long time for this, my little green friend.

Speaking of the dark side...

Spoiler

I'd imagine that when Din and Grogu eventually reunite for the finale, Grogu is going to have a bit of a dark streak running through him, after all of the abuse he's about to endure. We see a little of it here in the finale, the way he is thrashing around the Stormtroopers. Din is going to have to show him the knob (and, perhaps, his face?) to start coercing him back a bit and snap him out of whatever hold Gideon has on him.

I expect a fair amount of Grogu torture next week, before Din and the gang are able to rescue him in the finale.

[Local Trouble]

Honestly, the best teacher for Grogu would probably be...

Spoiler

Quinlan Vos, if he's still alive.  He actually fell to the dark side and came back.  He also hasn't been seen or heard from since Order 66.

Spoiler

Din Djarin
Boba Fett
Fennec Shand
Mayfield
Cara Dune (since it seems like she was convinced to help out at the end)
Greef Karga (maybe not him, since he has Nevarro to run)
Bo-Katan (since she wants the Darksaber back, she's a potential)

Putting together a bit of a Magnificent Seven in time for the finale now, are we?

I have ONE request for the rest of the season:
