The one and only issue I can complain about with this show is the ship saber thing that Luthen did with the TIEs to escape. It just seemed too gimmicky to me. Too much like they were trying to evoke lightsabers in some way. Would have preferred if the just popped out a couple cannons or missile launchers that would lock on and take out the TIEs.

The best episode of Bobba was when it was all Mando. The Mandallrian was decent, but not good or great, and had a lot of cheese. This has been a great drama/action series. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mcantu: arraigning marriages for political reasons is as old as human history. the daughter seems to be all for it (and did you miss where Mon is selling out her husband to cover her tracks?) And doing it young, too. For example, Mary (mother of Jesus) was likely 12 or 13 when she was betrothed to Joseph. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Greenhorn: Not the enemy, just a guy who she didn't like. And not sold, her daughter was all in for the old ways, and she seemed excited at the idea of being betrothed. Correct The action was part of the culture and Mon Milfma was married in the same way. She hated it and didn't want it for her daughter. Her daughter was all in on the event and doesn't see it as anything but normal. Young girls growing up too fast has been part of SW since the beginning. |

As I was watching Maarva’s jazz funeral procession I thought “Lucas would have had an action figure playset for this and names for every one of these people”. |

Awesome finale.
Maarva's speech at the end was a great touch. Not only did it inspire Ferrix to rebel, it explains Cassian's deep motivation to the cause that we see in R1. His own mistreatment at the hands of the Empire wasn't enough. The speech was the inspiration, then when the Empire went full iron fist to shut it down, he saw it was necessary and made him a true believer, hence the ending scene. He felt he had nothing left to live for, but Luthen was offering a reason. |

That part of the manifesto provides the glimmer of hope that change is possible. Having just triumphed over the Imps at the prison gives him the belief that it's not just a dead man's words, but actually possible. |

Speaking of toys, remember that hard case, almost like the metal lunch boxes, with the tray inside that had individual slots for a dozen of the 3.5" tall action figures? Think it was two layers of trays, so lots of them fit in there. |

One thing of note about Luthen in this episode was his attire. It's very reminiscent of the Jedi, and he did seem to be a bit distressed by the level of chaos and suffering that ensued after Maarva's speech. Even if he's not a force user of some variety (I truly hope that's not the case, Jedi aren't needed here), having to be face to face with the pain and suffering he wanted and thought necessary to inspire rebellion seems to have affected him, as if he had a brief moment of sorrow about causing so much pain. |

IMO, Luthen being a Jedi does make sense. He would be hiding since this is post Order 66. The Jedi worked with the Senate. The Jedi inherently know right from wrong (mostly) and try and do good for the underdog. The Empire is run by a Sith Lord, the enemy of the Jedi. I think it would work. The fact that it is kept under wraps is what helps it in this case. Just my 2 cents. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cap6888: IMO, Luthen being a Jedi does make sense. He would be hiding since this is post Order 66. The Jedi worked with the Senate. The Jedi inherently know right from wrong (mostly) and try and do good for the underdog. The Empire is run by a Sith Lord, the enemy of the Jedi. I think it would work. The fact that it is kept under wraps is what helps it in this case. Just my 2 cents.

Even if he's not a force user of some variety (I truly hope that's not the case, Jedi aren't needed here), having to be face to face with the pain and suffering he wanted and thought necessary to inspire rebellion seems to have affected him, as if he had a brief moment of sorrow about causing so much pain.

What makes this series great is the notable absence of the Jedi. It focuses on the normal people sacrificing everything to fight tyranny. |

What changed Luthen’s mind about having Cassian killed to tie up loose ends?

It focuses on the normal people sacrificing everything to fight tyranny. I understand peoples aversion to imposing Jedi into all things SW. But I think they are part of the story that you just can’t overlook. The Jedi and Senate went hand in hand to the end. I can appreciate that it’s not in your face Force and light sabers though. And let’s just give it up for the post credit scene. That. Was. Awesome. |
