re: The Book of Boba Fett (Chapter 7 FINALE SPOILERS pg.41)

ETA: I love how all starship parts in the universe are apparently interchangeable, and I can't even change the oil on my girlfriends 4runner without Toyota making me buy extra tools and specialized parts

That's because chick is a true mechanic, and she built Mando something.

That's not a stock starfighter. You know how people took stock Miata's, and are dropping in Ford 5L V8's in them? That's what this is. That's why Mando was able to just dust the X-Wings the way he did.

How is mando supposed to bring in bounties with no cargo space?

Droid area... which, I was thinking how hilarious it would be to see grogu in there with mando flying

Loved the throwbacks…Naboo starfighter, Beggar’s Canyon, BD unit from Jedi: Fallen Order.

Anybody else catch the Mandalorian armorer talking about their group survived the great purge because they were on Concordia. Does that mean Din’s crew is Death Watch?

This episode made the previous four look like fan films.

Yea but that means he can only do 1 bounty at a time. Remember in S1 he had several bounties in carbonite on the RC. Would be cool to see Grogu in that droid cockpit.

I personally think Din Djarin is a far more compelling character. This episode just reinforced to me how much more invested I have now become in Din Djarin than I am in Boba Fett. I mean I haven't hated Book of Boba Fett, but this just reminded me how much more interesting The Mandalorian has been for me personally

Couldn’t agree more and what’s even more exciting is that they have so much more to explore with his character now that he has the darksaber.

I was expecting the armorer to tell Mando that since he was excommunicated, he would need to leave behind his armor and helmet. The armorer is an interesting character and I enjoy her scenes.

I’d give my left nut if they’d just keep Bryce Dallas Howard, Filoni and Favreau in charge of everything Star Wars from now on

I would add, as of now, Rick Famuyiwa and Deborah Chow to that list as directors. Both did excellent work on The Mandalorian and Chow's Obi-Wan series is (finally) coming out sometime this year. Though I couldn't blame Chow if she refused to have anything to do with Lucasfilm after the series is over.

I mean during the production of the first season of Mandalorian she gets the nod to do Obi-Wan. They approve the scripts in August of that year, months before Mando comes out, she's already well into pre-production while Mando debuts. So far, so good right? The intent is obviously to use Chow's exceptional planning ability to get Obi-Wan out quickly to capitalize on Mando-mania.

Then the higher up at Lucasfilm decide they don't like the scripts after all. Chow gets to cool her heels for a year and a half, in the prime of her career, waiting for things to move forward.

I really like Chow as a director but giving Kathleen Kennedy and Company that long to try and "improve" something strikes me as a recipe for disaster. I mean this only in the nicest way possible, but those folks couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

I wish they would turn down the campiness of her character just a bit.
