It's barely an improvement. Ahsoka made a choice too.
Spoilers Book of Boba Fett [Spoiler Discussion]
- Thread starter Reverend
- Start date
It might be more compelling if Grogu didn't seem like a six-year-old.
Not true. Anakin quite clearly had a choice in TPM.
Luke is doing the same thing. "So long, Anakin, you'll literally never see your mom again!" "Say goodbye, Grogu! You'll literally never see Mando again!"
Awful.
You're being generous. He's still portrayed like a toddler.
Space-Western WOHOOO
- Timothy Olyphant is just aces as Sheriff, no matter if in the wild west (Deadwood), present (Justified) or future (Star Wars)
- Hope the badass red eyed alien gunslinger didn't mortally wound him!
so Cobb Vanth will be back in future arcs of Mandalorian and Co. - I don't care about stupid Jedi rules
, give me Mando and Grogu! choose the armor and Mando, screw lightsaber Luke !
- Feel sorry for all Boba Fett fans: no matter the finale, this series basically sidelined it's titular character with 3 episodes to go.
It's in one of the Zahn books. Heir to the Empire, I think.
“Oh my god.... Oh my god... Oh my god!” Annie James sees her father's vineyard for the first time.
I guess... I was too conservative... That was not a sight I was expecting ever to see. Putting in the Boba Fett show? Wow.
I would have expected 10 year old Leia with Bail in the Obi-Wan show, or 10 year old Luke, and I would have considered that surprising. Now I think it's inevitable. Now I'm inclined to think that everyone from Hondo to Rey will make appearances in all shows.

Another great episode of The Mandalorian!! I love it, but as someone posted above, at what point does Temura Morrison shrug and ask: WTF??
The best part of this episode for me was the return of Tim Olyphant as The Marshal. When I saw the episode title, I thought they were talking about him, not Cad Bane. I haven't watched 100% of TCW and almost none of the Bad Batch, so I knew the character looked familiar and was important, but now how or why until I came here and started reading. I may have to revisit TCW for those episodes. For those in the know, with the blue skin and red eyes, is Bane a Chiss like Thrawn?
Justified is my favorite TV show of all time, and I loved Deadwood, too. Olyphant just straight brings Raylan Givens to SW, right down to the mannerisms and the little pointers with his off-hand at waist-level when he's laying down the law. Just like Episode 13 of The Mandalorian "The Jedi" was more Kurosawa than Kurosawa, these scenes were like Elmore Leonard came back to life and wrote part of this episode's script.
Although I didn't recognize the Bane character at the time, I knew that duel was going to go badly, because clearly this is a bad guy who will be saved for either Boba or Mando. I didn't replay it, but it did look like the shot took him in the shoulder, and the deputy, it is safe to say, is fried. The way the townsfold surrounded Vanth, however, I have high hopes that he survived and will fight another day.
I did have this silly idea for a moment that Vanth would gun down the man in black, and then take his hat for his own. If you were ever a fan of Justified, you get it.

I might be wrong, it just didn't sound like Morrison, and it's not like they'd even need to bring Dee in for it as between Clone Wars, Battlefront 2, and Fallen Order they'll have plenty of his generic clone walla archived.
It wouldn't be fair to the kid, and would only deepen any conflict within him.
Yeah they did. Parents didn't have to give up their force sensitive children, an initiate, Padawan, Knight or even a Master could leave the Order at any time, just as Ahsoka did, just as Dooku did.
It's just that the Masters always operated from the presumption that being in the Order is by definition the only correct choice, so anything they said, did, or taight was prejudiced in that direction, whether they were conscious of it or not.
There was clearly an unspoken sense of shame and disapproval about it; After she left, both Anakin and Obi-Wan spoke of Ahsoka's choice in terms of her letting them down, instead of the other way around. The busts of the "Lost Twenty" Jedi Masters comes with it an implied judgment and shame, just by the name alone. And from Kenobi's cut dialogue, an explicit lack of understanding.
So yes, Luke is definitely not repeating that particular mistake.
Looks like it just caught him in the shoulder. He'll live. Which has to be deliberate on Bane's part. He's a good enough shot that if he wanted to kill Vanth, he would have. So he wounded the Marshall to send a message, but he killed the Deputy because he was disrespectful.
Nope. Duros. Like these two, and this guy.
Let's just hope none of the 501st boys never took their helmets off in Grogu's presence, or else seeing Boba may really freak him out.He may not have lines, but he does sport killing Jedi, dozens of him.

This song came to mind when watching that scene, although the lyrics would have to be changed slightly.
Yes, Bane was able to take down Hunter - an enhanced clone, so this guy wouldn't really stand much of a chance.
I think Cobb Vanth is still alive. It looked like Cad Bane's shot struck him high and near the right shoulder, knocking him to the ground and possibly unconscious. There might have been a grunt or groan from Vanth after the bartender and townsfolk rushed over to check on him.
If Bane kills Cobb it will cement by undying aggravation at such an OP character.
Did you see Cobb Vanth appear out of nowhere twice? Like seriously where was he when he came upon the Pykes? That guy's a ninja, probably a force ninja, no way he doesn't survive... I'm thinking there's no way they leave it ambivalent at all unless they were going to save him.
That seems to go against the idea of them being able to have friends and family or is that only once they've fully become Jedi? It doesn't seem to play to having him make a choice if they aren't going to hamstring him.
Yoda also talked about how he wanted Leia to have his lightsaber in one of the "A Certain Point of View" stories.
Perhaps Yoda's lightsaber hilt was made out of something resistant to being melted. Or they're ignoring the comics and Palpatine kept the lightsaber as a trophy in of his storehouses, then it eventually came into Luke's possession.
There's a lesson to be learned here: never offer to polish a Pyke's helmet.
