So what you’re saying is that Anakin should’ve yelled Padme like Rocky yelled Adrian
Rocky 5 did a better job
Well no... Anakin is the Tommy Gun of the PT.. Not the Rocky of the PT.
I forgot to add that Tommy Gunn could not act either
Quite possibly the single most scathing thing I've ever read about the PT, lol.
It is quite savage isn?t it lol
Finished revisiting Mando Season 2 and immediately moved right on into TFA.
WOW. An entirely different context now that just works. So many things that fall easily into place now.
For starters I didn't realize the first time around how often the remnant Imperials in Mando mention "order."
The one officer tells Mando and Mayfeld, "they think they want peace. What they really want is order."
And my son goes "the First Order." BOOM. I love how this new generation thinks. I was all holy crap hell yeah. And then in the season finale when Moff Gideon is standing over Grogu with the Darksaber he says something to the effect of "you can take him. I got what I needed; his blood, which will prove very valuable in the new Order."
Then as we headed into the final sequence of that episode my son had to totally ruin Luke's rescue by saying "Why is Mando just hiding in that room when he has a Darksaber? Obviously he can just cut through the Dark Troopers just as easily as Luke." Gah! They were never in danger at all, lol.
But I must say that Luke's arrival and Din taking off his mask to say goodbye still hit me in the feels even on a third viewing.
But wow moving right on into TFA like I said everything just *clicked.* Gideon saying that they had what they needed to start a new Order. Luke taking Grogu, closing the elevator and then..."Luke Skywalker has vanished. The First Order has risen from the ashes of the Empire. They are hunting Luke, bla bla bla." It blends so well.
And how the hell did it not click with me that the Trooper transports in "The Tragedy" are obvious precursors to the FO Troop Transports??? Except on Jakku the FO is all "yeah we're not doing that piddly one at a time thing that Gideon did, we're landing four at once," lol.
The prison planet where they picked up Mayfeld where they were stripping all the wrecked Imperial ships really segued nicely into the wreckage left on Jakku as well.
*All* of the "wait how the hell did everything get like this after the victory of ROTJ" was GONE. And that was one of the biggest issues of the ST!!!
Another big issue that just evaporated was Rey saying that she thought Luke Skywalker was a myth. That line has been blasted on social media for years since "how could a famous person be considered a myth after a mere 30 years?" The answer is because because a large portion of the galaxy probably *always* thought that Luke was a myth, even during and immediately after the Rebellion. Mando and Kuill had never even heard of the Force, let alone a Jedi. Same with Luke himself for that matter until Ben explained it to him.
There's what trillions of people in the galaxy and even during the "thousand generations" that the Jedi were keepers of the peace how many really were there? A few thousand? Out of trillions? I could easily see how 90% of the galaxy might just think that their skills were greatly embellished, "simple tricks and nonsense," with certain famous Jedi just being bedtime "legends."
Watching TFA after two seasons of Mando also made Kylo Ren's appearance that much more refreshing due to black Sith type characters having a nice period of absence in the Saga.
It was also awesome seeing a character like that one cyborg Jawa type dude who held Grogu hostage before being lifted in the air by Mando's jetpack appearing on Jakku to harrass Rey while she was cleaning the parts. I even found myself liking Kylo's line about creating a clone army this time around. The Saga just fits together better than ever IMO and especially the OT and ST thanks even moreso to The Mandalorian.
Quite possibly the single most scathing thing I've ever read about the PT, lol.
I still just don't think Favreau will connect The Mandalorian to the ST in any meaningful way. He is too smart. He knows how much his audience hates those films, and I think it's reasonable to say that he himself dislikes the ST.
The ST people love to point out that they used the word "order" but none of them are talking about the direct and hilarious jab that Luke Skywalker took at Rey when talking about Grogu's training. But all we can do is wait and see where he goes from here...
Luke was slamming himself.. After three films he got Less training than Rey did in her three films.
What makes you reasonably think he dislikes the ST himself?
The First Order has risen from the ashes of the Empire.
Am I being pedantic or has this already been retconned? They're now saying the First Order broke away from the New Republic.
