    @rancid-schnitzel said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

    That ridiculous chase scene in the latest episode of Boba reminded me of something that I couldn't quite put my finger on but eventually got it. It reminds me of the hoverboard chase with Biff Jr and the gang from Back to the Future 2. Comical and stupid.

    …….and why did they chase him when Boba could have CAUGHT UP WITH HIM IN HIS FUCKEN JET PACK !?!?!?!

    I wasn’t so annoyed about it until you mentioned it…..geez this show has as much annoying shit as good shit. I hope Bossk, Dengar and other tough guys pop in for a visit and save everything.

    They're phoning alot of it in which is disappointing. I'm wondering whether they're doing a GoT type of thing and saving all the money and awesomeness for a couple of episodes.

    It would have cost them a packet already to get the Power Rangers out of retirement.

    On a more positive note, Jennifer Beals still looks fine.

    Listening to the Kevin Smith podcast and that had someone working on the show on. Sounded pretty excited about the las three episodes of the season.

    While this hasn’t reached the heights of The Mandalorian, it’s been fine with some great stuff sprinkled around. Always pays to remember this is aimed at kids, with a few nods to old fucks.

    My son leapt off the chair when he heard Mandos theme music.

    I don’t like how Boba leaves Fennic to do everything. It’s also kinda bullshit how she could deck a Gammorean guard like she did.

    Pretty obvious Mando is coming back, would be good if some of the other old school bounty hunters turned up too.

    Yeah kind of over stating the armour a bit. I’d rather the Iron Man 3 approach of showing what he can do without it.

    Also I’m pretty sure Bossk is much bigger and stronger than the Trandoshans that Black Chewie dealt to at the pub ( well I hope so for the sake of a good character I’m hoping we’ll see ). Lucky Boba has plot armour because a punch in the face from someone strong enough to tear arms from sockets wouldn’t ordinarily end particularly well.

    The key to enjoying fantasy (star wars isn't sci fi) is to apply in universe logic, not real logic.

    Han Solo would be dead in Return of the Jedi if we start looking too closely.

    Yep definitely. As long as things make sense in the universe of the show I’m enjoying then sweet.

    What I’m not so keen on is all these invincible female fighters ( Fennic, Cara, the female Mandos etc )

    We get it, Storm Troopers are pretty poor and get by on huge numbers but the scene in Mando where the man himself, Fennic and Boba take out over 50 on their own was pretty ridiculous.

    Yeah I hear you, I guess that in the original trilogy we didn’t see too much of that……I guess Luke singlehandedly slaughtering Jabbas crew was as close as we got…..

    That's a good comparison. And was limited by the current special effects, otherwise it might have been more like the end of The Mandalorian

    …..and choreography……check out Lukes missed kick at about 35 seconds in…..however this may have been a “force kick” now I think about it.

    This brawl is probably pretty fair…….Boba is an undoubted tough nut who could briefly match one of the best Jedi ever……but if it went on much longer Luke woulda made mincemeat of him.

    @mn5 yes, but he was in the end finished up by a blind guy and Lando in the process of being grabbed by the sarlacc. So he has a history of getting his arse handed to him.

    Hmmmmm, I call that Han getting extremely lucky ( as he was prone to do )

    I’m glad Boba is getting the redemption he deserves although all things considered I still reckon his old man was better.

    Chewie and Lando did absolutely fuck all in that fight, Han was excused for being blind but if this was remade today they’d take out loads on their own too ( or maybe not cos they’re not female )

    My point is that Fett is just a bounty hunter in great armour. The flashbacks with the sand people show that without his armour he had a lot to learn.

    Not entirely accurate, definitely capable, but they were far better at stick fighting than he was.

    Don’t forget his old man ( direct clone ) nailed Obi Wan with a head butt back in the day so he’s certainly not a clueless fighter.
