    OR it’s the payoff to Grogu making that galactic Force call right before he got captured. Some Jedi probably heard the call, but we didn’t think they would go with Luke Freakin’ Skywalker. Mando’s team had already performed a successful surgical strike on Gideon’s ship. Mando had already had his hero moment disarming Gideon. Hell, he even flushed all those Darktroopers off the ship. Despite all those successes, they’re stuck facing an unstoppable force that’s pounding at the door. Again, it was the hero moment we’ve all been longing to see ever since the sequel trilogy was announced. To finally see Luke being that fully realized Jedi was a long awaited moment.

    Just to clarify: on the Yamato, it’s not so much an arm cover as it is a hand and wrist cover. The arms are actually exposed in fighter mode.

    And here’s where the lore comes in: the Darksaber was made by the first Mandalorian who was ever admitted into the Jedi Order. So, legendary Force-wielding Mando dude makes a unique lightsaber that later Mando’s view as a symbol of leadership amongst them. And yeah, it appears a ton in various Clone Wars and Rebels episodes. . . . And in fairness to the Darktroopers, Mando had a hell of a time dealing with just one of them. The fact that they needed THE JEDI to take the whole lot of them out doesn’t lessen their impact. Remember too, after all the lackluster stuff from Disney’s sequels, finally seeing Luke get to be the Jedi Knight we all wished to see was an unexpected surprise. The build up to those moments. The “Is it really HIM?” beats. The slow reveals. It was all superbly executed.

    “Blame EXO” 😅 I might be misremembering, but I believe he actually 3D printed those back in the day. And yes, that’s an absolutely lovely set-up you have going there, @locidm.

    This thread is so much richer when others are contributing, and there’s actual variety. Thanks to the “new” folks that added the past few weeks!

    ^^Maybe. But I still consider this the best toy rendition of the LEGIOSS: 😉

    The point still stands though: the nose and cockpit in fighter mode looks short and stubby on the Bandai. And then because of the design choices by Bandai, it still conversely looks too long in battroid mode. A quick and dirty shot to try to mimic the angle of the Bandai pic:

    If we could get a decal or sticker that looks like one of Ryuji’s Misa scratch-build models. . . 🤤

    For folks that followed Clone Wars and Rebels, the whole “keep your helmet on” rule was a bit odd. Mando’s sect is also very different from previous Mandalorian portrayals. But if Seto’s already finding the show hard to follow, Season 2 and 3 would be asking a lot, what with the new characters and weapon added to the mix. Personally, I loved the first and second seasons (and enjoyed the third season enough). But if someone feels that Season 1 expects them to have a lot of prior knowledge, then maybe the series won’t be their cup of tea.

    For comparison purposes, Yamato’s 1/60 fighter from a similar angle: Not exactly a perfect match to the Bandai’s angle. But with the nose closer to the camera, you would expect it to exaggerate the length of the nose a bit. Not seeing that with the Bandai fighter pic is concerning.

    Not trying to be mean, but if you’re just through the first season and having issues with the story at this point, you might want to check out now. Season 1 was basically about a bad-ass bounty hunter who grows a conscience when he gives a little kid to the Imps. A kid who also happened to save his life from a charging beast. I’d also argue that having prior knowledge about Mandalorians would have made it harder to follow the story in Season 1. Prior knowledge is definitely required for Season 2 and beyond though.

    They didn’t do the Yammy “shorten the nose for battroid/push the cockpit closer to the nose for battroid” trick.

    Them twin suns of Tatooine! Double the UV, double the skin damage. Plus, keeping that stupid, distracted farmboy alive, safe from Tuskens, preventing him from crashing his landspeeder and sky-hopper, and away from surly gangsters and their cronies will prematurely age anyone!

    In sudden, unexpected WTF frustration? Pretty much. You’re basically blasting Regults and Zent’ fighters left and right. And one little turd winds up slowly draining the life outta the Cat’s Eye while you’re otherwise occupied (like a cheap little mosquito).

    Everything about Bandai’s choices with the bellyplates just drives me nuts. And the joint that connects the hipguard to the leg better be a beast, because I don’t see a tab to lock it into place for Gerwalk.
  20. Mog
    Definitely NOT getting, and I’m one of the biggest fans of the -21. But also, partly due to space limitations and partly due to me absolutely despising the design choices made by Bandai. EDIT: Say what you will about the Yammy’s skinny legs, but she looked clean in all three modes.
  21. Mog
    You would think that snapping a pic of the fighter facing the camera would make the nose/canopy look longer.
  22. Mog
    Add in those Tatooine suns, and it’s murder on your skin. Vader was right to wear a suit that protected all of him from those harmful UV rays!

    It’s the Cat’s Eye! . . . I’m suddenly having bad flashbacks of trying to defend the Cat’s Eye plane during that RT Battlecry game. 🥴

    Staying in a Sarlacc pit can age you pretty badly. 😬
