I believe somebody said something about the Hutts would have to get involved and the fact that they hadn't was bothering them? Almost like this show is a slow burn. How about that? Also, shoutout to Camie and Fixer from the deleted scenes of Episode IV!? Just a small little moment for fans to do their best Leonardo DiCaprio Pointing impression.
I just wanna know when will we get a show where a character joins up with the Jawas so we can learn their ways as well? Is an R5-D4 spinoff in the cards? "He may have had a bad motivator, but damn did he give it his all to save the galaxy..."
I would have missed it without subtitles, but the subtitles mentioned "Camie" and a single brain cell went *ping* Confirmed the other person with Wookiepedia.
There was a (non-canon) Star Wars Tales comic called “Skippy, the Jedi Droid,” in which R5-D4 (aka “Skippy”) was Force-sensitive inasmuch as he could see into the future, and he saw a future in which R2-D2 didn’t connect up with Luke, and the whole Galaxy went to hell, so Skippy deliberately sprung his motivator to ensure the “right” future happened.
See, everybody who's like "doh ho ho wouldn't it be funny if [insert background character here] gets a show" was not paying attention to any of the Expanded Universe stuff from the 1990s. Case in point: The guy in the BACKGROUND carrying a REAL LIFE ICE CREAM MAKER in The Empire Strikes Back has a backstory. And now that real life ice cream maker has made an onscreen CANON appearance in the Mandalorian. The Mandalorian episode 3 answers one of Star Wars fans’ oldest questions And no, it's not a coincidence or an accident.
Ep.2 was..."fun" but like with Mando, there is a terrible lack of dialogue, plot and strong actors. Perhaps because this was done for the Disney Plus they took the decision to write it for 8 year olds. It's basic comic book fun from that perspective but it's very far removed from the SW movies in terms of its depth.
Spoiler Just use spoilers! How can baldy Boba not get burned up to a crisp in those Tatooine twin suns for days on end?
Well, he was with a tribe of Sand People for most of the episode. There was plenty of "dialogue" just not anything we are used to. Not sure a story about assassins is going to be for 8 year olds? Something I'm noticing is each episode of Mando just like with what appears to be Boba is essentially an homage to old film. One episode is a train robbery. One episode is a stagecoach hijacking. One episode is a shootout in a cantina, one episode is like an old samurai film, etc. Boba might be shaping up to be like a sheriff in a corrupt town kind of figure. It's all like old west stuff, just with modern weapons and features. I find that I am enjoying that aspect of the show far more than I would dialogue. It's a nice, stylized homage to these old film themes.

Yes, like Mandalorian, it's all very similar to the lightweight TV western series of the 70s like Kung Fu and Alias Smith & Jones (which I loved at the time). At least Kung Fu brought in a bit of philosophy. It's just that I expect better scripts, dialogue and actors in the SW universe. The upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor sounds more promising.
From the universe that famously brought you a young Darth Vader talking about how much he hates sand, no less.
I’m sorry, but there is absolutely no depth in IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, & IX. Even Solo lacked it. Rogue One was OK. The Prequels were OK with it, but then you also had to deal with almost an hour of 8 year old Anakin Skywalker in that tradeoff. So, as you put it: comic book fun. So what?
I wanted to throw my shoe at the TV when Luke Skywalker saved the day at the end of season 2 of the Mandalorian. The problem with what you wish for is what the Star Trek franchise has been trying to get away from. Better scripts means less $. That’s the driver behind the whole Kelvin Timeline.
