Having now seen the movie — which I’m happy to report is pretty damn rad — there is actually a “storytelling” rationale behind making the latest episode of the show available to watch first... Nice bit of synergy, actually.

― mh, Sunday, 22 December 2019 05:25 (four years ago) link
Agreed re synergy -- nice touch (literally). There's also something else in the movie that made me think a bit about what in the end the whole motivations for the Empire remnants being after Baby Yoda to start with could be about, but we'll see next Friday.

The thing that had crossed my mind is that baby yoda was used either to bring Palpatine back to life (or just to keep him living) or to create Snoke(s). I guess we'll know some day.

Baby Yoda Force-healing Apollo Creed.

Yeah. everybody thought Ivan Drago was the real victim after Creed came back from the dead and kicked his ass, but the real losers were sportsbooks, who suddenly found themselves paying out massive +500 wagers to Creed bettors

Was force healing a thing before this episode and this movie?

I mean, in an approving way, surely.
Thought it was a good way to end in terms of setting up what a continuing series will be, a continuing antagonist, fan easter eggs all the way up to the end, etc. etc. I kinda appreciate that we still don't know why Baby Yoda is wanted, though I'm with the general guesses that it's to do with clone research of some sort.

Where have we seen those big droids before, that were attacking his planet when he was a kid? I know they’ve appeared, but don’t remember in which movie or context.

xp it shames me to know, but they are super battle droids, seen hassling R2D2 in Revenge of the Sith and maybe the one before it.

i know it was pure pandering but the adam pally stormtrooper taking wildly inaccurate potshots at a can six feet away was pretty funny

I'm almost embarrassed that I turned to my wife and said, "Ooh, they're bringing out an E-Web" a full 30 seconds before the word "E-web" was spoken on screen. Almost. At the end, I also shouted, "HE HAS THE FUCKING DARKSABER."I like this show.

"stormtrooper taking wildly inaccurate potshots at a can six feet away was pretty funny"
I watched this scene twice!
― akm, Saturday, 28 December 2019 16:45 (four years ago) link
So it seems canon now that Imperial-era Stormtroopers are terrible shots cos possibly they're all the same mediocre clone, whereas First Order Stormtroopers are more capable cos they're all kidnapped and trained from birth?

I thought troopers weren’t necessarily clones anymore, by the time of the Galactic Civil War (OT) era?

Eliza, my first thought was to wonder what your reaction was to that scene would be!
The two incompetent stormtroopers bit reminded me of the late 90s fan parody TROOPS tbh
― babu frik fan account (mh), Saturday, 28 December 2019 17:54 (four years ago) link
Closing two episodes really made this after a couple of nondescript moments in the middle. Never bad, just sometimes underwhelming. The fan service in this was way more satisfying than that in TROS.

Prequel-era troopers: Jango Fett clonesImperial-era troopers: Human conscripts and volunteersFirst Order-era troopers: Kidnapped children
The Clone Troopers are shown, on the "Star Wars: Rebels" animated series, to look like this by just a couple of years before ANH thanks to their accelerated aging.

Thanks Eliza. I misremembered.

this was a lot of funI think I enjoyed it the most out of any of the new Star Wars stuff (aside from maybe Rogue One)just felt so unburdened by not being this Major Addition to the Star Wars Movie Canonalso Baby Yoda is amazing, obviously very cute but also it's the only element of the new stuff that really "feels* like the original trilogy, it's got that oddball, hokey, almost homemade quality to it that is really endearing

I agree, also, Taikia Waititi should direct more of the next season, or maybe the entire thing.

I’m a little surprised that Din has never heard of the Jedi, considering that he came of age (and trained with the Mandalorians) during the era when the Jedi were still active.
― The dead speak! (morrisp), Sunday, 29 December 2019 04:38 (four years ago) link
I think he’s younger than that? the final purge he mentions presumably follows the action they’re going to show in cartoons soon, and that was nearly concurrent with the jedi all being killed. so the jedi get mostly killed, he’s raised by mandalorians before the empire cracks down on them a final time, and he’s in an expatriate group his entire life
