It's a bit surprising they never delved into the history between the two of them
Boba Fett and Fennec Shand make such an awesome duo and I hope we see more from them
Both the characters and Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen suit each other so well! I really hope we get more from them whether it's live action or animated and it's clear they both would love to do more with the characters.
Now that I think of it, we've seen Ming-Na Wen reprise her role in the Bad Batch so it would be awesome to see Temuera Morrison play a character in animation for the first time!
Why do some not like the idea of a movie just being about a fun adventure? (The Mandalorian and Grogu)
Ever since the world premiere event, we've gotten some bite sized reviews from people who've seen the movie. Most of the reviews echoed the same thoughts which is that the movie is a fun and epic adventure yet some have been spinning it as if the reviews have been negative as if that's a bad thing but why? Not every story needs to be galaxy defining and some of the most fun things we've gotten aren't (at least in my opinion).
Some of my favourite episodes in SW shows are the ones where it feels like characters are going on a side quest to do something so I absolutely love that this movie feels like it'll be like that.
It's really cool that they've decided to give these characters the spotlight in a theatrical release!
I love how they're taking characters from Clone Wars and Rebels and letting them have the spotlight in a full on movie! It kinda feels wholesome in a way. Rotta was just a baby in the CW movie, Embo was only in a few episodes and Zeb was one of the Ghost crew members that got the least amount of attention so it's awesome that they can shine a bit more here!
We need to talk about how Windu gets more hate than all of these characters
Palpatine, Maul, Dooku and Anakin/Vader have done countless of unspeakable things across many stories and projects in the franchise, yet Windu gets far more hate in the fandom just because he was a little strict towards Anakin? It's actually crazy if you think about it. Windu was a great Jedi that tried his best to defend the galaxy as much as he could.
He didn't have good feelings about Anakin and he was proven right when he tried to take out Palpatine and Anakin ended up dooming the whole Order by killing him to save Palpatine, yet, Anakin is far more loved in the fandom and Windu gets a lot of the blame for what happened.
Bastila (KOTOR) vs Maul (Clone Wars S7)
I don't know how powerful Bastila really is so if there's an obvious winner that's why lol
The Mandalorian and Grogu looking like the show isn't a bad thing because the show looks amazing
One of the biggest "criticisms" I've seen regarding this movie (which didn't even come out yet) is some people saying that it just looks like The Mandalorian series and doesn't feel cinematic enough or whatever but I don't really know what that means. The show already looked amazing in my opinion and it looks like the movie takes it one step further and improves on everything they've done before.
I feel like the only reason this is even a talking point is because we've gotten used to how good the show looks and because we're used to The Mandalorian being a Disney+ show so it feels like the movie needs to look crazy just because it's a theatrical release but if the show never existed and this movie was the first Mandalorian thing we've gotten then I don't think it looking too much like a show would even be mentioned.
A game with a protagonist covering their face would play into Ubisoft's strengths more
I've enjoyed my share of Ubisoft games, particularly Assassin's Creed and Star Wars Outlaws, however, the cutscenes are definitely not their strong suit mainly because of facial expressions and lip syncing of characters just aren't as good as other AAA games in the market.
Of course, they could work on improving their tech to make it better but that takes a lot of time and money that they simply might not want to spend over it. Because of this, I've wondered why they don't simply make a game with a protagonist that has their face covered and the perfect opportunity for this would have been Star Wars Outlaws.
I'm a fan of Star Wars Outlaws and to me the game is a solid 7/10 (which is how I feel with most Ubisoft games I've played) but I can't lie that if we were playing as a Mandalorian it would feel a lot more epic but also, a Mandalorian wearing their helmet would mean you simply don't need to work on the face (at least for the main character) during cutscenes and thus they would feel a lot better.
In the case of Assassin's Creed, if you're playing as an assassin, it actually makes more sense of them to cover their face with some sort of mask than to just wear a hood so that would be another way to deal with it.
I know that they probably want us to see the faces of their protagonists because they might feel like it would be easier for people to connect with them but I would like to see them do this at least once. What do you think?
Anyone planning to cosplay or wear any specific shirts for The Mandalorian and Grogu soon?
This is gonna be the first Star Wars movie in almost 7 years so I feel like it would be awesome to dress up for the occasion! Anyone here planning to do a cosplay or wear their favourite shirt at the cinema? I'm thinking of doing an Ahsoka cosplay!
What are your craziest theories/predictions for season 2?
I feel like something huge will happen in season 2, like lore/franchise defining huge but I'm not sure what it could be! Maybe something that has to do with the Mortis or the world between worlds? What big thing do you think might happen in this season?
Ever since Ventress was resurrected, it felt like they would have some big plans for her down the line. Considering both Maul and Ventress are children of Dathomir, I wonder if they will cross paths eventually and whether it has something to do with Devon, Omega and Lyco. All three of these characters are force sensitive (edit: not Omega) and it feels like they're setting them up for things down the line. If Maul goes to Dathomir in a future season, I think Ventress will be involved in some way. Outside of their connection to Dathomir, they both have a strong link with Mother Talzin specifically. Not to mention, Ventress was the one that picked Savage to become Dooku's "apprentice" when they were trying to trick him.
...he sees his potential apprentice get consumed by the dark side
my theory is that embo and marrok are best friends and embo named marrok after marrok
I do find it a bit odd how every episode has some cool title while episode 10 is just "finale" and ever since they announced season 2 it does make it weird for it to be called that which is why I think it's just a placeholder so they don't give anything away and we'll find out what the actual episode title is when the episode drops
maul represents the ancient traditions and teachings of the sith symbolised by him rotating his lightsaber as the ancients would while marrok represents the ways of the current empire and its tendency to stomp on tradition symbolised by his spinning lightsaber
