his battle with Mando and immediate change from arrogance to pants-pissing fear when our Deus Ex Machina shows up was great!

I didn't hate this. I don't understand why people do. It was nice to see the high ceiling of a jedi's powers and the disparity with mando's own when fighting the robot trooper. It gave purpose to the whole endeavor. Up to then, mando seemed to be just as good as a jedi. Someone even hired him to kill one.

Yes, and it reinforces that these are secondary Star Wars tales and the 'Episodes' really are the main story.

It really did feel like the first time I truly appreciated what it means to be a Jedi, in terms of combat skill.

have you seen the prequels?
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Sunday, 20 December 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
Yeah, but it never registered the way it does here. Maybe because they’re filled with Jedi slicing & dicing thru droids like butter (from the very first scene of Ep. I). The contrast here had real frisson, as Sufjan said.

It was right up to the edge of being a bit much but I confess I enjoyed the Force-crush of the final Death Trooper.
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Monday, 21 December 2020 00:24 (three years ago) link
Great observance! I love that. Read someone else point out that the force crush thing is totally a dark technique and it emphasizes how Luke never really went full Jedi.
― Kim, Monday, 21 December 2020 00:45 (three years ago) link
also possibly part of the motivation for "are you a jedi?"

Luke would be a damn good breakfast cook, force lifting the eggs into place over the grill and then gently force crushing the shells

Never forget the first thing Luke does in ROTJ -- walk down the hall of Jabba's palace, get blocked by two guards and then immediately Force choke the shit out of them.

Upon reflection, how did they not end with:
Din: Hey, kid.
Grogu stops and turns back. Din reaches into a pouch and pulls out the metal ball knob from his former ship.
Din: Catch.
Din tosses the knob at Grogu. Grogu uses the force to bring the knob to his hand. Din smiles while fighting back tears. Grogu gives an approving nod before turning around to leave.

Another nice touch was showing the Bespar spear getting red hot at the touch of the Darksaber - that really added to the tension of the fight.

xp no, Din keeps the ball to remind him of the child - like parents keep their kid’s favorite stuffie to remind them of when they used to read stories together.

I do think the subject of food in Star Wars is interesting. A pal once remarked that it tends to elicit slight disgust or revulsion in the characters onscreen (even when they’re eating it). On a basic level, I tend to wonder “when do they break to eat?” during these breakneck adventures.

The guns aren’t actually lasers anyway, they shoot blobs of stuff which certainly don’t travel at the speed of light. Seems like they need whatever stuff Chewie carried around in his bandolier.

Yep. I've been watching Clone Wars (because of Mando) and I liked that Luke's skills matched up with what we saw there too - Jedis just single-handedly taking down entire droid armies.

Jedis should be less violent and just destroy their opponents psychologically
