Hope mando gets a new traveling buddy.

Finished the second season (loved it even though it felt like a lot of it was just setting up all the new shows) and I'm betting on a smallish time jump so he can meet back up with Grogu (and maybe even Luke) or delving deeper into all the Madalore liberation stuff they touched on for season 3.

And I know Din didn't want it but I really wanna see him use the Darksaber at least once before Bo ends up with it.

They need to cgi john belushi as a mandalorian deli clerk who uses the dark saber in MANDALORIAN DELI.

So that new Star Wars game by Ubisoft...what's everybody thinking. It's by the Division people so 3rd person shooter?

A new Bounty Hunter game could be cool. Loved the one with Jango on PS2.

Seeing him finally get his jetpack was definitely a big "F*** YEAH!" moment.

Yeah! He learned how to use it real fast LOL

Lord Vader Arrives

Is that the new VC Vader from Rogue One? How is it compared to the one from New Hope?

Will she? I think a lot of people mistook her little "LOL religious cultists!" jab at Din for a statement of fact rather than a display of her own character flaws. Whatever one might think think of the "don't take off your helmet" rule, Din's clan (and consequently, Din himself) are characterized by piety, nobility, courtesy, humility and selflessness, while Bo-Katan is a power-hungry and manipulative elitist.

I think, if anything, Din is going to remain in possession of the Darksaber (tellingly, he's consistently displayed an affinity for forming bonds with and leading disparate groups of people) with Bo-Katan in an antagonistic position of some kind.

We're long overdue for a dedicated Boba Fett/Mandalorian game.

This is the only 3.75 Vader I have besides the recent 5poa ones. On its own its a nice sculpt but crap articulation.

This works for me. Admittedly I don't know anything about Bo outside of this show. I figured she was the Mando leader or something. Between Bo and her companions and Din's group (particularly the Armorer) I'd definitely side with the latter.

Agreed.

That's a bummer but even seeing the release pics I wasn't a fan of the way they did his robe/skirt piece.

Forgot to mention I ordered a VC Moff Gideon yesterday that's supposed to be here tomorrow. Been a while since I've gotten any SW figures but after getting Mando earlier in the week I forgot how much fun I have with them.

Likewise. To bring you up to speed, though:

Bo-Katan first appears in The Clone Wars, where's she's introduced as the commander of the "Nite Owls," a cadre of Mandalorians allied with Pre Vizsla, the leader of the "Death Watch," which is a faction of militant traditionalists dedicated to overthrowing the pacifist "New Mandalorian" government that has arisen on the Mandalorian homeworld and is led by Bo-Katan's sister, Satine, and reinstating the old Mandalorian warrior-culture. While Vizsla is a rather murderous and perhaps not entirely sane sort of chap, he does seem to sincerely believe in the warrior honor-codes that he espouses, even when they don't work to his advantage, whereas Bo-Katan basically drops all such pretenses the moment that they become inconvenient to her goals. She also attempts to emotionally manipulate Obi-Wan Kenobi during the subsequent Mandalorian civil war, playing on his feelings for her sister to try and guilt him into providing assistance. Later on, she turns up in Rebels, leading a small cell of Mandalorians resisting the Empire, with her appearances in the show culminating with her accepting the Darksaber as a gift from the series' resident truant Mandalorian, Sabine Wren, and consequently being acclaimed rightful leader of Mandalore and all Mandalorians...which obviously didn't end well, considering the events and references in the live-action series.

To sum up, though, while she was portrayed in a somewhat more positive light in Rebels, Bo-Katan was initially introduced as someone who was basically a terrorist and willing to be party to a great many questionable acts, including ones that harmed fellow Mandalorians, in a pursuit for power. Time and the Imperial Purge may have softened her somewhat, and when introduced in the live-action series, she does seem remorseful for the catastrophes that the Mandalorians have suffered under her watch (although whether this was a sincere display or merely for the benefit of trying to get Din onboard with her plan to rob that Imperial transport is open for debate), but she's still a haughty, arrogant, condescending creature (hence Boba's dismissively calling her "princess") who disdains both Din and Boba (albeit for different reasons), continues to utilize emotional manipulation and is very much pursuing power, even if she is ostensibly motivated now by concern for the good of all Mandalorians (or at least those whom she considers Mandalorians). Certainly, it seems to me that she's being set up to be a very interesting foil to Din, who is gradually unfolding into a sort of King Arthur archetype (humble orphan boy comes into possession of a legendary sword and unites an eclectic band of elite warriors under his leadership, and there is, of course, the promise in Mandalore of a fallen kingdom that needs renewing).

Huh. Guess I should finish Rebels since I've only seen the first two seasons. And I remember Vizsla from Clone Wars and he had the Darksaber but I don't remember seeing Bo. Was it late in the series because I'm not sure if I made it that far. I bounced in and out of CW whenever I happened to catch it on TV. Now that the whole thing is in DVD/Blu-ray I've been thinking of buying it.

Anyway it definitely sounds like she could be more of an antagonist next season than I thought. Ugh! The wait is gonna be so painful. Hope the Book of Boba Fett is worth the delay.

Neat. Wasn't there a book or comic about zombie Stormtroopers?

I'm man enough to admit I teared up at that scene. Pascal knocked it out of the park.
