WyattSheepMask Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) They could’ve had Dawson be on screen and re-dub with Ashley Eckstein I suppose. So long as they told Dawson they were doing that, I’m struggling to think of a time they’ve done that before. Joking aside, I can understand casting Dawson and she’s a perfect capable actress for the part. Although I have just read someone saying she shouldn’t have been cast because she’s a Trekkie, citing an interview she did on the Conan O’Brian show. Seriously, fucking hell. It’s the Kevin Conroy deal- he’s the voice of Batman, but he can’t BE Batman (and yes, I know he was Bruce Wayne in that Batwoman crossover episode). Thanks @HarmonicGeneratorfor the kayfabe explanation on the head-tails, but yeah I imagine it’s purely a practical reason why they’re shorter Edited November 29, 2020 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2020 WHAT AN EPISODE! Honestly this show gets better and better. Gutted we're down to the last 2 but it is cranking up to be a great finale. And also, my biggest criticism of Boba Fett was completely redeemed with this episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Holy shit. I had to rewind a couple of times because I was yelling like an excited simpleton so much. Was out of breath by the end. Amazing episode, just fantastic telly. And arguably the best thing Robert Rondriguez has ever directed. I really can't wait to see the whole gang rock up to get the kid back.

stewdogg Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think there are at least another 2 series that have been commissioned so I wonder whether this series could end on a downer. Something like the good guys get together and try their hardest to get Grogu back, but ultimately they fail and maybe even have a couple of them die trying. Then it could be something like people losing faith in what they're fighting for and Mando trying to get people to believe again. What an episode that was though, it was another of those over before you know it ones, and the Boba Fett thing was done nicely, maybe too nicely? Possibility of a screwjob from Boba later on? He's made it clear he pledges himself to no-one then 10 minutes later is like we're with you til you get the child back. I guess the rock was also some calling out to Jedi, similar to the Borg deflector dish in First Contact. So it should mean we'll hopefully get some Jedi action soon. Mof is also a perfect villain isn't he, evil, smarmy, clever, focussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2020 I didn't love that episode. It looked weirdly low budget. Probably because it was clearly filmed on a hill 5 minutes drive away from the studio. And I think they need to start doing a bit more with Stormtrooper battles than "slowly walk towards the heroes and get easily killed". Also I always thought Boba Fett was supposed to be a scumbag, didn't like his noble portrayal here. Enjoyed the Moff Gideon stuff though. I guess I just expected something more from the Jedi temple stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Fett is getting the Maul treatment; a character who looks good but does bugger all suddenly gets a rewrite and becomes the best thing since sliced bread. My opinion on Fett has changed and this episode topped last week for me. It just gets better and better. The show is wildly unpredictable and tremendous fun. Will it ever dip in quality? I doubt it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 4, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2020 I don’t know how I’m meant to last a whole week of such intense worrying. He’s going to be okay isn’t he? Isn’t he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Quick question - why didn't Fett just smash the shit out of Cobb Vanth for his armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't make sense. Fett was on tatooine for a long time... It doesn't detract from how good the series is, I'm just confused.

He might have assumed the armour was sarlacc poo and only heard about it when Cobb started wearing it, similar to how Mando found out.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2020 I did have to laugh when the Razor Crest blew up. I mean, first I was gutted, but then I remembered the 20k people who paid for the HasLab Razor Crest at £350 which just closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thicc Boba busting out of his armour like 99% of Boba cosplayers was glorious. Other than that it was clearly filmed on a hill around the back of some studio I though it was a great episode. Shout outs go to baby handcuffs, Moff’s glorious spin turn and cape flail and Stormtroopers being the worse fighting force ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
