I know you edited, but Darth Maul came back so nothing's truly off the table.

The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]

I don't think Mace should ever go dark, have him be Punished Mace and what not but Mace was always the perfect example of the negative aspects of the jedi order while still being light side. He's someone who was so fearful of going dark he went as hard as could in shutting down his emotions and it led him down the path of being an out of touch stubborn fundamentalist. He can still channel that and be an antagonist while not going dark.
He represents what Clone Wars probably meant in the Mortis arc by saying "too much light" can be just as bad as too much dark.(obviously don't take this to mean the jedi are as bad as the fucking Empire)Wrapped up in all the politics of the Senate, the Jedi became stagnant upholders of the status quo cause they thought they knew better than anyone else up in their ivory tower. It got the point they were willing to order assassinations and reconcile it with being light side/good.
Yeah, I considered this after. Force ghost Obi would be a legit holy shit moment, but they would need to age McGregor significantly.

I know it won't be Luke but it seems silly it wouldn't be him from a story point. At this stage he's a Jedi Master who's creating his own Jedi Academy.
I don't think they can or should do Force Ghost Obi-Wan without Alec Guinness. That guy was genuine class.
That is exactly why it should lead him to the dark side, that inner conflict isn't over. In an extreme form, he'd be Berserk's Mozgus.
I guess if GRRM was writing Star Wars, Mace would end up like I said :p
That's just boring to me to have Mace end up yet another yellow eyed goober lost in the sauce. Mace is kind of interesting because he can do all this shit while still staying on the light side. It's some of the closest mainstream SWs(but that I mean not counting stuff like KOTOR 2) has come to injecting a little nuance into the light/dark dichotomy. Well probably besides Rebels with the Bendu. Windu's gimmick is being a walking contradiction realized through Vaapad.
When I say fall to the dark side I don't mean in the "Feel the power of the dark side!" kind of way, Star Wars should do away with this overly simple take on it. I'm saying he'd basically be a desperate ruined Jedi who uses dark side powers without admitting it to himself, thinking he's still a true Jedi because he's refusing to accept that he has fallen the same path as Anakin. Mozgus is really a good example, a complete religious fanatic one would equate with a devil worshipper but who is 100% convinced he is serving God.
Boba Fett's line about the Imperials recognizing his face got a good chuckle out of me. Liked that one.
Most people in here really liked the episode. :) The negatives just tend to stand out.
Don't know if it's been mentioned or discussed or not, but could Moff Gideon be doing all this in order to resurrect / clone the Emperor etc (sort of like what the Emperor was talking about in RoS) ?
I guess. SO much of this thread tends to feel negative, when I'm coming out of nearly every episode extremely satisfied. I guess a lot of people just really want this to be Game of Thrones: Star Wars?
This show is magical. It had my jumping in my seat for something from episode 2. I was hoping for seismic charges, the coolest damn seem from Attack of the Clones and they brought it back.
I love this damn show!!!!

Anybody thinking favreau would bring us something as narratively ambitious as GOT was fooling themselves from jump.
This chapter is going to haunt people who feel that the favreau written chapters are barebones. The Mandalorian has so much untapped potential.
Oh for sure. The Empire lying in wait and rebuilding its strength is quite literally foreshadowing their evolution into the First Order and all these experiments into infusing clones with the ability to use the Force is definitely leading to the creation of Snoke and the clone Palpatine inhabits in Rise of Skywalker.
Let's hope it turns out better than RoS then lol.
To be fair, the Expanded universe material, has always added great backstory, e.g Rogue One going someway to show why Vader was so feared (and how powerful he was).
If it's force ghost, it has to be Yoda, because I'm still convinced it's his kid, lol
Yoda doesn't fuck holy shit that would be a slap in the face of the entire Jedi Order.
What if Yoda species breed like evil king Piccolo, they just throw up some egg and it later hatch...
2020 is such a crazy year.
Now we can say that Bill Burr is one of the best Star Wars characters.

It's pretty wild how one can legitimately make an argument for Bill fucking Burr being the best Star Wars character since Return of the Jedi, and it wouldn't be a meme argument but an actual decent argument.
I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that one episode represented a more interesting exploration of an ex-Stormtrooper than Finn's entire arc across three movies. Finn needed a scene as impactful as the scene Mayfeld got at that table.
I just get depressed at imagining a scene like that in the sequel trilogy, with that same tension and emotional heft but between Finn and Phasma. Like imagine if that's how she went out in TLJ instead of falling down a freakin' hole. Finn just ices her cold in a sudden burst of raw emotion after years of personal torment over his time as a Stormtrooper under her command.
I'm not seeing how that could be a legitimate argument. It's absolutely wild.
what if the reason Yoda's species is so rare is because each person can only produce 1 egg in their entire lifespan
Just got done watching it, what a fantastic episode. Bill Burr was great, he really nailed it especially with the scene at the table.
We're gonna find out the Jedi had cloned Yoda. Something like that. It's going to be some twist related to how the Jedi actually were the first ones experimenting with creating force-using clones and what not.
Catching up with the last two episodes. Fun, although again i wish there wa more development throughout the series like Mayfeld showed hints of in the last episode. Still, it's enjoyable enough to watch and they're showing me different settings and more characters which I like.
Also it was hard for me to reconcile Boba here to Boba from the original trilogy of course, but I'll just say he got better with experience or something.
