I can’t think of any notable Star Wars characters who were shown falling to their apparent deaths and actually stayed dead. Not Palpatine, not Boba Fett, (apparently) not Mace Windu, not even Darth Maul, and that guy was cut in half. Heck, even Anakin’s lightsaber showed up in a later movie and that thing dropped into the bottomless abyss of a gas giant.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Luke’s severed hand gets its own spinoff series like a Jedi version of Thing from The Addams Family.
If Jedi had the capability of regenerating from severed body parts like force-powered starfish then that would imply the existence of at least four more Darth Vaders out there somewhere. Or I guess maybe one Anakin and three Vaders since the first arm was lopped off before he turned to the Dark Side.
While fans have been wanting to see Mace Windu survive being thrown out of a high rise window, I don’t think there has been an official story that has happened?
In the same vein, why is no one using ships? The show already demonstrated how easily Boba could take out an entire gang with his spaceship. He brings the rancor but leaves the ship at home? Same for the syndicate. And hey, doesn’t Mando have a starfighter? Give me something, a throwaway line like, “The New Republic will be forced to get involved if we use ships.”
I kinda liked how one of his first lines was “I’d be careful where I was sticking my nose if I were you” and he doesn’t even have an apparent nose. (Unless those tubes of his are hooked up to nostrils located on the side of his cheeks?)
The King Kong sequence with the rancor was kinda silly but my kids loved the Wilhelm scream they snuck in there.
I mean it’s hard to find the words just how awful the whole battle was. Just inexcusable. I know at this point in TV/Movie history it’s hard to find something new for this sort of situation but one would assume Disney/Star Wars could afford better writers. Quite likely the laziest I’ve seen in years.
Star Was has had some really derpy tactics on screen in the movies and in Clone Wars. Shooting repeatedly at shielded droids was often seen. No one moves and utilizes cover as well as they should, to the point of some of it looking like Napoleonic Wars era tactics.
Also the lack of explosives used, even though we know Mando at least has some of those small ones they could have used.
Meh, just like people firing 15 times from a revolver in a western, you just got to roll with the fantasy.
