I suppose. I just think people in Star Wars don't tend to question evil in general.
They want the baby for the same reason they build killer space death balls. For kicks.

Alright dude. I hope you can enjoy something more than you do this lol.
Also, Luke IS a stranger to them, and IMO it works completely fine. It's only a wow moment to viewers.
A stranger Jedi would've been fine by me because it would've meant a new character. You can find me in threads before this one saying "I hope it isn't Luke". I just underestimated how I'd feel when he actually showed up.
Yoda was a master at 100. I imagine Grogu will go through rapid growth in the next 10-20 years.
Welp, in my brief time with the internet earlier today, I managed to get both big things spoiled for me. Granted, as soon as that X-wing came on screen everyone knew what was up.
Provided Book of Boba Fett and Mandolorian S3 are separate things, I hope the Armourer shows back up.

yeah? luke was also only trained for year (discounting the weird dagobah time stuff)
Luke was clearly talking about himself. Afterall he canonically abandoned his training after only two days and never finished it. Guess he still feels guilty.
There is nothing weird about Mando not asking about what they want with the kid. An imperial doctor put a bounty on the force-using baby, it's clear they want to do experiments on him. Now if there was plenty of force users out there maybe they would be trying to get those too. In any case everyone can understand why the Empire/FO would want a force user to experiment on, they make machines, weapons, etc, to rule the galaxy.
Bingo, it's rhyming and you can't rhyme with the same word
Just finished the episode, absolutely fantastic.
But damn, the feels towards the end. Me and the wife was already getting sad at the goodbye scene but the moment Mando started to take his helmet off my wife burst into tears and I was having to hold them back.
I know my wife is really gonna miss the show. Every week she goes from being super eager for the next episode and then super annoyed that the episode is over and how short they are.

Yeah that didn't even come into my head watching lol. In fact, I completely empathized with Din there - just like "dude IDGAF about this where's Grogu mother fucker"
Hah I was just reading the exact samw excerpt from lol.
dumb shit on the internet doesn't hurt me, sorry characters in a movie stay in your head rent free :(
What do you think he'll talk like? Will he talk yoda like or will he learn to talk normally.
:OSaw this on twitter.
"Just once let me look on you with my own eyes"
Its on spotify/apple music.. its called A friend/ Open the door and Come with me.
For some reason, without even having any evidence that it could be, I was hoping it would be a much older Cal. Not quite sure how old he would've been at that time though, and I'm pretty sure there's still much more of his story left to tell. I would have been equally excited for someone new as much as Luke.
ahhhh thank you! I was unsure if it'd be up already. Ludwig absolutely killing it. "A Friend" is incredible.
Thank you, yoonshik, as well! :)
For music lovers of the series, keep an out for this guy. He does music from the series hours after they air. Two of my favorites.
Ahsoka's Theme
And March of the Resistance from this season of the Mandalorian where the X-Wing pilots save Mando and his crew.

the thing is, they finally get to explore this stuff visually outside of shows made for children. Its new for most of the audience
A new character could work, but not as it played it with Luke in the show. The situation is set up specifically that the Mandos have no hope of winning the fight once the dark troopers breach (even though I actually think there is narrative set up for them to fight off the Dark Troopers), but here comes in this new character that mercs them like it's nothing. Other than his literal presence being signalled by the Grogu Star Phone, this is a straight up dues ex machina. With one fell swoop, this one character just magically solved the plot, turning an impossible situation into barely an inconvenience.
This ONLY works if we know who this is, are happy to see him, and want to see him as plotbreakingly powerful. That does not work with a new character. It only works with a character that carries insane mythological, nostalgia value that is totally separate from anything actually happening on screen, because otherwise it lays bare how mechanistic and emotionally dead this save is. You need the audience to go "Oh my god, it's Luke, I love you Luke!"
As for me feelings...idk. I don't hate the show, but I think it's kind genuinely insane how...I hesitate to use the word badly written, because it's definitely not in places and you can't say that many of the 'flaws' I would point out are accidental, but it is specifically crafted to scratch the pleasure center of SW fans brains more than it is telling an actual story. So I think it's poor as a story, but it's fascinating to see how this interacts with the fandom. But also, as a fan of good stories, I can't help but point out what I feel are the flaws of the series. So I'm in a wierd place with it.
Binged season 2 in a few days. This show is all I ever wanted from a follow up to the original trilogy. That last episode...fucking chills.
Favreau and co added so much depth and nuance to the universe, and have weirdly giving me closure to loose ends (namely, what is life like post-empire) of the OT that nothing since 1983 has managed.
A nice way to end this wretched year. Had a smile on my face every episode.

I don't know if it's a Star Wars thing or just in general but it just seems people hate "fan service" I watched and had the biggest smile but there's some who got upset at Luke showing up. Idk, I think the huge majority who watched probably reacted positively.
Just finished the season finale. I unfortunately got the Luke appearance spoiled online. I loved seeing the green lightsaber in action tho.
I was surprised that it ended without resolving the issue of Bo-Katan not able to claim the Darksaber. I thought we were going to have her and Mando fight a duel for it. It just ended so abruptly.

Whatever happens to Grogu, I'm thinking he was frozen or something. They're going to want him to grow up quick enough to make use of him probably in the post ep IX content. He can't literally be 50 years old, imagine the Jedi having to put up with raising padawans like they're babies for 100 years, they would just be like "We don't allow your kind here."
Plus it would open the door to reusing this plot device to throw other characters in future timelines if desired.

So this is what it feels like to know these characters lol, I recognized Luke from his Lightsaber hilt... and usually I'm somewhat oblivious to these kinds of things.
Thought the overall season was fine, it's still in my mind being carried by the IP. The lead is boring af, and I wouldn't be watching if this wasn't Star Wars. Really need to adjust their pacing because I don't want 10 shows with this much filler and meandering.

I watch about 50 reaction vids after each episode. From the ones that posted after this one, the results were very positive. Tears positive.
really, we still have this stigma towards animation
Ah yes dont forget to watch the latest episode of Star Wars Rebels, a show for discerning adults, on Disney XD
I certainly dont but the American studios and American audiences at large certainly do feel that way. If its a cartoon, its for kids or teens, meaning that as a creator you will be very limited in how you can tell your stories.
Only real problem with the finale was it was fairly generic compared to some of the season highlights, and the Luke face-work was awful and completely took me out of the scene, but i guess competent by tv standards. Still enjoyed it. And wasnt expecting them to tag on a new show announcement at the end.
People like Luke, they want to like Luke, and they want to see him being Heroic Luke.
It's hard to believe that the end of this episode will see anything other than overwhelmingly positive reaction.
De-aged Luke was incredibly uncanny valley. Every time I focus on his face it's convincing, but it just looks wrong.
Damn that was awesome. Seeing Luke do some hype jedi stuff was great. Luke needs a clone wars cartoon. Who was playing him? He looked really good.
