I just want something like Knights of Ren to take SW to brutal and violent territory. Wishful thinking and will never happen, but the world needs an R rated Star Wars.


That I can agree to even if it connects to the newer stuff :)

Knights of Ren is not a very good title for a television series/movie. Is too late for them to change it?

Dark Forces: Knights of Ren. Would give EA/DICE an excuse to reboot the Dark Forces video games.

Be careful what you ask for. This is how you end up with Knights of Ren and Stimpy.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been confirmed to the cast of AHSOKA. The cast list for this is starting to look pretty damn impressive.

No problems there. After all, Fett took over a Mando episode. The last two will be a blast.

So much to see in there, from prequels, games, CWs... I need to watch it again.
BDH's Sw episodes are the best SWs.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

That whole episode was an absolute LOVE LETTER to Episode I, and then some FALLEN ORDER, Some TCW, and even a Jurassic Park reference.

That Mando's new ship is a fucking Naboo N1 Starfighter, revamped like a souped up Mustang...fuck me I LOVE that. Then add in the "pod race" sequence, Beggar's Canyon, and a womp rat?

But then I'm a BIG Prequel fan.

Basically my fave ep of the season by a LONG stretch, and confirms my feelings that I much prefer MANDO over BOBF...and that Favreau is not afraid to thumb his nose at people who don't like the Prequels.

There was also a nod to Rebels, in reference to the dark saber, though no names were mentioned.

Totally agree that the starfighter was done up like a Mustang! Though I thought the literal "header" out on the "hood" was a bit much, but...

I think all sabers are supposed to have weight or a density. Dark saber definitely does now anyway!

Who's going to teach him how to use it - Sabine?

The Darksaber responds to emotions, and kind of forms a kinship with it's wielder, so until he trains with it and learn to become one with it, it will seem heavy...once he tunes himself to it, it will swing as light as a lightsaber.

This is why the Armorer explains that Din is "fighting" it and that's why it's heavy. He needs to fight WITH it. The darksaber actively PULLS other weapons in towards it all on its own.

This is also why Moff Gideon used it well, he'd had it since he took it off Bo Katan, and he filed his rage into using it.

Nah, he said he had to go visit a friend...that's Grogu....so he's going to learn how to use a lightsaber from Luke Fucking Skywalker!

Star Wars is not and never HAS been science fiction in any regard.

It has always always been Science Fantasy.

Unless you think things like telekinesis are science fact....
