Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu - May 22, 2026
Thom replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't have a family so it would be just me, but for a good movie I'll still plop down in the semi-uncomfortable chairs with the overpriced (yet happily oversized) 'small' soda and popcorn! I'm not too critical on most movies I see and, so far, the only movies I've regretted seeing in the theater were Tank Girl, Event Horizon and Superman '25. And since I've really liked most of the Mandalorian, unless they really F it up, I'll probably enjoy this too, just on the massive screen!😁- 102 replies

Ouch! But true. The real problem being that they tied him own to a gangster who can't gangster. I only saw the show once, but didn't they have him being taken in by nomads after escaping the Sarlac pit? They should have just had him fighting for them against the far more powerful Hutts for the length of the show.- 102 replies

And that 'defanging' became even more evident when Mando showed up, showing a far better written and plotted character than Boba Fett turned out to be.- 102 replies

It looks good @pengbuzz. Clearly you are not a flat-earther! Good luck with the show.

It is fun which is probably why it did so well. But it's a popcorn flick rather then being something momentous or epic. That's a downgrade in my estimation, and I just can't take it seriously.

My 2 pence, Mando was the best parts of BoBF. The show finally got interesting rather than maudlin. And I really like Bo-Katan so I think she was a good edition.- 102 replies

Plus, the stance is less 'cutsey-anime girl.' She may have been in an anime, but she was never a 'cutesly anime-girl!' Keep that firm, purposeful stance.

Would love one of that!

Looks like it's going to be a fun ride in the Razor Crest 2!! Who else turned up the volume when the theme music played?- 102 replies

Thanks @pengbuzz and @MechTech. I am still not over it! Started Sat night, kicked me in the beep-boop all Sunday and most of Monday, so even if the show had been more than one day, I still couldn't have gone. And of course, the day for my doctor's appointment is the day it finally starts to lighten up. (head shake) Thankfully I only had to call off one day of work, as Sunday I had already taken as a vacation day for the show and Tue/Wed are my 'weekend.' Fingers crossed this is on the way out, cause I am over it!

@Cheese3 That dio is looking good! @505thAirborne Fantastic! Good luck @pengbuzz! @derex3592 Good start to the PE. The only /350 I've done (to completion) was a USS Independence littoral ship and PE. I have a couple smaller /700s with PE that I need to get back to. And I should be at a model show right now, the IMPS ROCON show in Rochester NY, but of course I am sick with 'tummy problems' to name one ailment...

If they can mess with scales in anime, we can do it in real life!😁 It does look really cool...
-
Crazy how, to be in actual scale with each other, the Batroid should be small enough to sit inside the Queadluun-Rau.
-
Agreed. It really stands out in the real world sequences. They needed a lot less face-on with Flynn and more old school deflected shots and just plain not showing his face at all. Do voice-overs while showing him from behind or something. The money saved there could have been used to better render Clu for his major scenes.

Nice looking dio @tekering. Good idea with the paper for metal. @F18LEGIOSS2 That brings back some nice Robotech* memories! *don't hate me, I was a kid when I watched it!! Good luck, @pengbuzz! That is a great looking ship scene! I remember loving that Alpha/Beta fighter team ups @505thAirborne. That's so cool. @MechTech Right! It's not a scoop without the scoop!

The Woman in the Wall, Watched this on my weekend. Good murder mystery starring Ruth Wilson as a survivor of one of the Magdalene laundries is Ireland. Murder, sleuthing and sleepwalking ensue. Real good performances by just about the entire cast. My one wish is that there had been a supernatural element to it. Would have loved to have had a vengeful spirit lurking in the shadows.

I love the tail on it!
-
That's a plane that, from the nose to the beginning of the tail, looks like it needs to be stretched by about 10 or 15 percent to make those curves work.

Very cool with the gearing @MechTech As for the scoops, the ones from the kit have blank fronts rather than open.

My F-8 Crusader is back on the table after a long hiatus. Some Quickboost air scoops added.
