Yeah it's getting ridiculous. Humanizing the tuskens was an interesting take in Mando, expanding on it here was also pretty neat (though it's idiotic that Boba Fett needed combat training from them!). But now Rancors are cute and cuddly? The worst part is the only reason they're doing this is to sell Rancor merchandise. Can't wait to see all the plush Rancors for sale next Christmas.
And as you brought up in another thread, why does he befriend everyone he gets into a fight with? At some point a criminal warlord has to give people something to fear, all he's done is become this champion of the downtrodden. He's building an army of outcasts and making powerful enemies at every turn. Sooner or later things are going to come to a head.
By far the dumbest part of this episode was the gang of cyberpunks. Like the mayor's assistant, these goofs and their spiffy motor scooters simply do not fit the Star Wars aesthetic. They belong in an 80s direct to video post apocalyptic action/horror film. It's awful.
I also cracked up at freeing the wookie, and he just runs off screen into the desert in search of a better script. What a shitshow this has become, on the heels of something as good as Mandalorian.

What a shitshow this has become, on the heels of something as good as Mandalorian. I did too. What was that?!  That was pretty sloppy. The other was having the Hutts appear and apologize like ashamed children. That plot line went nowhere. These writers need to learn Chekhov's Gun.

That should’ve set off red flags! What a bunch of moof milking nonsense this has become! |

Part of the liberal anti-slavery agenda!!!! No. It’s just drifting back and forth between sanitizing the characters and not sanitizing the characters. The show could do without it. Still there’s enough to keep turning in. It’ll be interesting to see what direction it develops in. And the “no Slave One” thing is just silly! Anakin was a slave. What’s next? Are they going to retcon his backstory? Maybe he will be a male Star Wars version of the title character of the movie Sabrina? |
