Skipdog77 1,244 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 So awesome. When they were in the elevator at the end, I was waiting for Grogu to force-pull the round lever knob from the Razor Crest out of Mando's pocket and down the hall into his hand and take it with him right before the doors closed. I know people geeked on seeing Vader rampage in Rogue One, seeing Luke at maybe the height of his powers here was just as great. 10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Insein 10,713 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Also the Lady Expendables were awesome. Because they were just awesome. They didn't tell us they were awesome. They didn't have other people go "wow look how awesome they are". They were all individually built up over the course of 2 seasons (and some from clone wars) and shown to be the best at what they do. Then when it came time to raid the ship, they just did it. It didn't matter that they were women. They were just badasses doing what they do. That's how you do it. Show don't tell. 13 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewlyRetired 16,718 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Did they change the Dark Saber story line from Rebels? If I am remembering correctly, Bo Katan accepted the Dark Saber freely from Sabine, she did not have to battle for it. I will be sad if there is no Grogu next season. It would seem crazy for Disney to remove him given his hook with fans, but the final scene was so drawn out, it did seem like the end. I figure at worst we will at least see him in a couple of episodes or maybe even in one of the other series... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the only difference is the way Sabine came to possess the Saber after Maul had it. Best part is, now the whole story for next season is if Mando wants to rule Mandalore, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
