    One of each for me. Been pre-ordering every wave.

    Bingo.

    The various Inquisitors were created to be villains for the good guys in Rebels. Great bad guys are ones that are specifically designed for your hero. In Star Trek for example Q is designed to be Picard's bad guy. Q has made guest appearances in the other Star Trek shows but he works best when paired with Picard. Batman's arch enemy is the Joker and Superman has Lex Luthor. They could trade enemies but, it just wouldn't feel right. If Obi-Wan has interactions with them it just won't have a much meaning as they had with the characters from Rebels. If Obi-Wan interactions with them are violent there's no room for surprise. They're guest star villains. Their destiny is to have a beef with and be defeated by the characters from Rebels. I want Obi-Wan to face threats that are custom made for him. Not ones that were made for others.

    I don't have much hope for this series. I do think it's great to see him back in the role. I rather they didn't include all these cartoon characters. If you're a fan of them I guess that's cool but I want to see threats created for this story. Threats that you know could die during the show. Already know Obi-Wan is going to make through the series. Any fight he has with a cartoon character won't have much impact as both will live to fight another day. I'm afraid they'll also pull a book of Boba Fett in this show. We'll get an entire episode where Obi-Wan doesn't even show up. Instead we'll see Boba Fett and Cade Bane rescue baby Yoda from Darth Vader.

    Prequel CGI doesn't look very good these days. If only they made a dozen real Clone Troopers and some more practical sets things would have looked so much better.

    Hey guys this is me acting as Mod telling you all that this extended conversion on political systems is going off topic from Star Trek and more towards the realm of politics a subject that isn't allowed.

    That season finale was fantastic.

    Costume looks more flexible compared to 89 version.

    I wonder how long Boba's rule is going to last. Didn't he say no more spice? Tatooine doesn't have anything going for it besides being on route for drug smuggling. Take away the spice trade and all cantinas, docking bays will go along with it. Moisture farming alone isn't enough to keep everything going. No legitimate business will pay Fett tribute/protection money if there's no spice smugglers that need their ships serviced. Citizens will turn against him because the local economy collapse since he took over.

    Why are there so many dinosaurs? The last movie ended I think with some of them escaping. People seem to be living and working among them in this trailer. If a Tiger escapes the Zoo the police will shoot it. We don't just learn to live with dangerous wild animals. How much influence does Peta have in this movie universe?

    And I loved the part when Boba called Blue face an old man and 5 seconds later Boba is helmet is removed and he's an oldman too. I wonder how they'll ruin Kenobi. Maybe he's the one who saved Baby Yoda?

    Team Boba are also pretty stupid when it comes to tactics. Boba "I'm pinned down and need help." Teammate "I'm going to join you and get pinned down instead of staying across the street and trapping the enemy in a crossfire."

    I didn't know a thing about Blue man group dude. Other than he's some cartoon character. The Wookie had more of a build up over the course of this series as potential foe for Fett to have a show down with. Seems like they decided to make the Wookie a friend and needed a last minute baddie for the final fight. Many fans only follow live action stuff. We don’t read all the books, comics or watch the cartoons. If additional homework is needed to understand things that means your show is lacking.

    Only watched half the episode so far and I just have to say... Our heroes are morons when it comes to making plans. We've got all of our people spread throughout the city watching for signs of trouble. Nearly all of them are pretty much by themselves without anybody to watch their backs. What could go wrong? I can't keep track of Boba's Motives. The people need me because I'm the defender of this city. Maybe all this stuff with him falling in love of the city and its people happened during the previous 2 episodes in which he didn't appear in.

    You know what I would like to see? A Picard prequel based his days on the Stargrazer. He commanded that ship for 22 years during a period that wasn't covered on screen. They have to recast Picard of course.

    Sarlacc and Suns of Tatoonie might be murder on the skin but they don't explain all that extra dad bod weight. Did he eat some of that BBQ Sarlacc meat on his way out?

    This week's episode was solid. Season is headed towards its conclusion. A few characters I'm pretty sure "died." Still a much better show than The Book of Boba Fett if you remove the Mandolorian episodes. You can honestly believe that this character's change from Psycho killer to someone who is learning to respect human life is real. Can't say the same for Boba Fett. This might have to do with platform self-censorship. For murderous characters like them to change they need to see the suffering that action like theirs have caused. Disney's Star Wars is too family friendly to show such suffering on screen.

    See Azrael's post above.
  20. Roy Focker
    Okay I'm getting one of those.
  21. Roy Focker
    See I'm trying to wrap my head around why people would enter a topic on release day.
  22. Roy Focker
    I can't recall if we have any official guidelines related to spoilers. The general rule most of us follow is no spoilers until something has been out for a while. You can hide spoiler talk but we're still careful about what we discuss out in the open. I have a suggestion and I like to get some member feedback on it: Allow Spoilers. I know people don't like others spoiling thing for them. But we're all here to discuss these topics. At times this can be hard to do when you're trying to avoid spoilers. People want to talk all about the latest movie or show during the opening week. Spoiler talk is okay a few weeks later but by that time our interest has moved on. If someone doesn't want to see any spoilers, why are they reading a topic about it on opening day? Some guidelines should still be followed. You don't post spoilers in an unrelated topic, and you don't post spoilers before the official release date.

    Stupid question. In the previous episode they established that the New Republic's X-Wings patrol Tatoonie's orbit and not to mention the Mandalorian knows how to contact Luke. Why don't they ask them for help? If the Republic got patrols there it means they must consider Tatoonie part of their turf. Boba just has to say he's a concerned private citizen leading a community watch and would like the Republic's aide. A crime boss asking them for help seems weak but they've already established him as a pansy in this show. As for Luke he doesn't know the Boba gone soft. Do you want spend the rest of your life knowing there's a ruthless killer on the loose with a grudge against you and your family? Aiding Boba in this can really help mend things.

    Just watched Season 3 Episode of the Mandalorian. At least Boba made an appearance in one scene. Can't remember if he had a line or just nodded. The Jedi never did learn that they're no attachment rule leads to the creation of monsters. We separated Anakin from his mother. Told him never have feelings from anyone and looked how that turned out. We told his son the same thing. He went against our advice trusted his feelings came close to losing it all but in the end, it was those attachments that gave him strength. Now the Jedi are back to the old we have to cut all bonds. It is really F-ed if you ask me. Poor Kylo. Han and Leia dropped the poor trouble kid off with Luke saying, "We can't handle him." First thing Uncle Luke tells Kylo is "Forget your parents you're never going to see them again". Wow no wonder he turned out just like Gramps.

    Episode 5 was good but might have been overshadowed by The Mandalorian...I mean Boba Fett. It didn't advance the story that much. It was a bonding episode among the team and ended with a cliff hanger.
