The Book of Boba Fett |OT| Please...speak freely [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP - NO LEAKS]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
he literally obliberated one dude in the first episode with a missile
Yup. Just because he's willing to discuss doesn't mean he can't be ruthless, Bane straight up alludes to it
As well as obliterated the biker gang, after beating them down.
I think its safe to say the rougher edges shot wise are perhaps Covid related rushing.
Some of the pacing quirks are still weird. I think having the Krrsantan fight end the episode with the drop into the trap, with the Hutt's abdicating at the start of the next episode might have worked better.
Still having fun.
yes a fresh story about someone picking up the mantle of BF would be way better than mando retread on dusty tattooine again!!
Nah. So far none of the HR material has had Skywalker related stuff shoved into it. Even ominous visions of the future.
If anything it's been the opposite where suddenly in the comics and such they reference or talk about the High Republic quite a lot. Luke has now canonically met and talked with one of the main characters of the era. Every temple includes a "I think this might be high republic era?" Line. Etc.
Now, the thing about the Acolyte show is that it's way closer to the Skywalker era. Only 50 years before the prequels vs 200

What time? There's 1 episode left isn't there?
Nah but you'll probably get a good dose of Palpatine in some capacity
I would like something in Star Wars to fully explore the problematic nature of the Jedi ripping children away from their families and trying to turn them into emotionless robots, then being shocked when those kids don't know how to handle emotions later on.
When did he start messing with the dark side? Acolyte is only around 50 yrs before Phantom Menace
Apparently Rodríguez managed to shoot a ton so it could very well be over an hour
I'd love this if TLJ didn't exist. The fact TLJ exists means they can't really do anything interesting with that unless they retcon the sequel trilogy.
the fact that TLJ exists means they can actually do something interesting, instead of just Luke happy school thing
wait it's not even TLJ, its TFA who made luke's academy fucking fail
Bingo.
Luke failing at the school is a good development. Him losing absolutely all of his achievements because it was all part of Palpy's keikaku is not.
The retcons I expect from now on will be that some of Luke's students survived here and there.
Also a full, and boy do I mean full, rework of his relationship with Rey, if they ever want to touch that again.
I always thought it would be a fun idea to explore the very origins of the Jedi and the Sith and portray the Jedi in a super terrible way in a role reversal. Like the dude who later on founds the Jedi order has been studying the force for 10 years and can lift a rock the size of a car and feels super good about himself but this force sensitive dude he meets, recruits and teaches as they study the force learns super quickly and eclipses him fast and to top it off he starts a relationship with a lady that the other dude was secretly interested in so when he founds the Jedi order he basically declares that personal attatchments and all the cool force powers that the other dude has are actually the way of the Dark Side and inherently evil and must be outlawed and persecuted. From then on it ties into your idea of the Jedi order growing fast and indoctrinating children and the dude behind it basically made it all up to keep himself in power and dunk on the dude who stole his girl.
That being said a Star Wars take on The Master isn't going to sell many toys I guess.
Remind me which movie sets up Luke's school failing makes him into a hermit again?
Nah. There is so much you could do with a diverse group of students learning the force from someone who had only just learned about it years prior, and it being his responsibility to teach them which would inevitably lead to him reexamining his own beliefs as students can be the best teachers in that regard.
Luke had a large amount of students given the amount of bodies on the ground when it was destroyed. There's so much you could create with that. Especially since by adulthood they were going off world and flying ships. They made a seven season long animated show out of a four year long war that was absolutely terrible in the movies. Imagine what they could do with 15 years. And a Luke Skywalker that's a borderline blank slate because of how little we've seen post ROTJ Luke. 👏

My bad I missremembered, either way the sequels kinda set up Luke to fail which makes me want them to focus on someone else for a Jedi Academy. Kyle Katarn pls.
ppl always bring up bitter, isolated luke in tlj while leaving out the part where tfa made him an isolated and failed teacher in the first place...
I know. Anyone who brings up Luke having failed at being a teacher as a TLJ thing rather than a TFA thing instantly loses all credibility from me.
yep, this is the show I'd want. I originally assumed we'd get it in animation but with them going all in on CG Luke, live-action seems more likely now.Nah.

TLJ has Luke harshly criticizing the Jedi as they were back in the day, after he had failed to restart the Order as it was.
So yes, he is down for the traditions (so he can fail and realize they weren't quite right) later on.
Twitter adjusted Cad Bane, but not sure how much you can pull off with prosthetics alone. Duros' mouths are too low for normal humans:
Also, to piggyback on this, he was trained by Obi-Wan and Yoda, two of the greatest Jedi we've ever seen and ones that followed the code (more or less). It is not even remotely a stretch to think that Luke, training his first student would go with what he knows, which almost certainly comes from them.

Now he looks like Skeeter from Doug.
Nah, the Cobb is 100% Raylan Givens. Who is, granted, kind of a Clint Eastwood riff himself, but still.

Live action color is much more lightning friendly
I actually like the original more, dude just looks freaking creepyTwitter adjusted Cad Bane, but not sure how much you can pull off with prosthetics alone. Duros' mouths are too low for normal humans:

Idk if it looks better personally, it just looks kind of different in a sort of pointless way? Maybe it's because I'm not attached to the animated series.

Nah, the original one still looks much better to me tbh.
I didn't like last weeks episode because I thought it was all exposition for a payoff we'd have to wait a year for. Getting that payoff this week was awesome.
It's steal weird to have the title character disappear to focus on the storyline of a different character from a different show, but I'm not going to be upset that they stealth dropped the best Mandolorian episode out of nowhere.

I want episode 6 to open up with Max Rebo heading to the blown-up cantina complaining that he had a gig tonight ALA Robot Chicken.
First time hearing about or seeing Cad Bane. It was a cool intro and he looks great as portrayed. I'm going to be annoyed if he gets completely defeated next episode.Twitter adjusted Cad Bane, but not sure how much you can pull off with prosthetics alone.

Still can't believe he's alive after everything, dude deserves a million deaths.
