If the Lucasfilm intention is to say yes, the Jedi were a cult that perpetuated an awful system, then okay I guess. But then Grogu giving up on joining that cult to go back to Mando isn’t really a hard choice at all, removing a lot of of the stakes for what we’re led to believe is a momentous decision.

It would also…

I agree. It’s certainly weird that out of nowhere this show decided to do two episodes of “The Mandalorian” but I’m not complaining because those were the only two episodes of the show that were any good because “The Mandalorian” is just a way better show than “Book of Boba Fett”

In the first 4 episodes, Boba Fett is an incompetent gang leader. He takes over Jabba’s job as “Daimyo” of Tatooine. Assassins attack him, but he captures one and kills the rest. The captured one says he was sent by the Mayor, but when confronted, the Mayor denies it and Boba kinda just leaves. Meanwhile, Jabba’s two…

Now Grogu just needs a vibroknife that glows when Sith are near.

Man, the Star Wars universe keeps getting smaller and less interesting with each successive cameo and touch of fanservice. Both the Pyke syndicate’s enforcer and Boba Fett’s hired guns are all people who have directly interacted with Luke Skywalker or Ben Kenobi. All so they can fight a war over control of a worthless…

Heaven forbid viewers expect the character in the title of the show they’re watching be the main focus.

That certainly seems to be the show’s philosophy. Is this supposed to be praise or condemnation?

Grogu steps forward, lifts his little robe, and urinates on both lightsaber and chainmail shirt. 

The problem is that by marketing it as seemingly it’s own thing, it being just a smaller part of the larger Mandalorian story isn’t conveyed to the audience in any sort of good way. Call it “The Mandalorian: The Book of Boba Fett” or “The Book of Boba Fett: The Mandalorian,” something in the actual title of the show…

All of the above!  (Well, I don’t share your enthusiasm for the few moments that were Fett-centric.)  What a stunning error to have Luke going down the same doomed path as the Jedi of old.  Did he learn nothing?  He saved Vader specifically by FORMING an attachment, not by abandoning one.  What the fuck?

Hell, James Cameron has even done it brilliantly in the first Terminator.

George: “I saw Titanic. So that old woman, she’s just a liar, right?”

And the stepmom in Terminator 2!!!

It is rocket science when you’re dying of hypothermia. People with hypothermia’s brains are literally freezing to death, that’s why you find people dead on top of mountains completely naked, their frozen brains told them that that was a good idea.

What kind of circle do you run in that debates if fictional characters go to heaven or hell when they die? 

“Rest in peace Bill Paxton, a gem whose legacy shines brighter than any chintzy purple heart diamond necklace ever could.”

Surely the absolute best ending would have been for the expedition ship to also run into an iceberg: Old Rose cackling her head off as the crew scurries frantically; the boat sinks and lands right. On. Top. of the Titanic; her dead hand, loosely holding then necklace, falls onto some thing or other we remember Jack…

This scene would have been 1000% better if, after she dropped the necklace, Paxton had just lost it. What with needing to pay back the Russians for the whole expedition...

“Well that’s great, that’s just fuckin’ great lady. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty shit now man... That’s it man,…

The difference is that Cameron did at least recognize that the film needed to show it a little. Jack tries to get on, it tips over, point made, only pedantic fucks will really care.

To stick with the Simpson’s theme
