The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

I suppose I can go along with the robot mech aspect. But in real life I'm not sure a power lifter could move a boulder that size, the weight of those things is unreal. I couldn't even guess how much it might weigh?

She has a titanium colon now, which means she can squat 10 tons....

yeah, it doesnt make any sense.

Go watch ST instead if that bothers you.

Ughhh trekkies.

Its base had become unstable from the blaster hits. Seeing it was already balanced precipitously on the side of that hill, she just had to apply sufficient force above its center of gravity. You might have noticed that she moved her feet higher up on the boulder the second time she pushed. And I'm sure having a T-800 core helped too.

Lol, so I can watch untrained Rey launch lightning out of her arse?

 

[Sassafras]

Yeah, I disagree with the idea that Grogu has aged up in any way.

Toddlers act like drunk monkeys most of the time, but will suddenly do what they?ve learned and look sophisticated for 5 minutes.

I?m not even a parent but know that; spent a weekend looking after a 2-year old once, same thing.

Still feels to me like after all the fuss about the Child NOT BEING BABY YODA from F & F they - specifically Filoni - turned him into....preteen traumatized Yoda, I guess. Meditating pose and all.

So I'm just gonna convince myself that "humanoid comparisons are irrelevant here as this species is not, in fact, human". And that Filoni DIDN'T make use of devices pretty common in medium grade fan fiction (ignoring any previous depictions of character and the ever popular "traumatized so hiding their true abilities")

Not to mention Filoni's script that conveniently laid the bricks for the path leading to every single Jedi and misc. SW character, dead or alive, popping in for a visit...



But if it's Samuel Jackson popping in to yell at Mando as a Force ghost, I can deal. Everything is better with with Samuel L. Jackson.

Don't get me started on that clown. Still waiting for Ezra to ride in on a Space Whale. Love the Trojan Horse meme, it's perfect!

Yeah, it literally got hit by a mortar shell, the boulder was ready to go on its own at any moment, she just gave it a boost. At the end of the day, it's Star Wars, it's in space, different planets, chalk it up to the gravity and mass being different or something. Who cares.

Most of the complaints about this show seem to just be complete nitpicks, which I guess is a good thing .

 

[jye4ever]

Well ESB Fett behavior is definitely not one of those nitpicks.

As long as everyone understands that we are all good lol

Yep.

I love the moronic Stormtroopers that try to actually outrun the rock instead of getting out of its way.

"Look everyone I'm Indiana Jones!" Splat, lol.

Don't forget the guy with the heavy duty gun on the tripod who kept shooting at it right to the end. Even if he'd been "successful" at breaking it apart, he still would have been pulverized by several slightly smaller boulders.

 

[jye4ever]

Actually his behavior is well documented under certain scenarios-stresses.

He saw that the blaster wasn’t having any desired effect yet he kept at it.

He tunnel visioned.

Sometimes people repeat their problem solving skills towards what it is that is frustrating or irritating them in a frugal attempt to win over the problem.

That or suicide by boulder lol

 

[The Buffinator]

And tunnel vision is probably the only type available when wearing those stormtrooper helmets lol

 

[jye4ever]

Especially the ROTJ helmets the Ewoks would literally have to be standing between your eyes and on a ladder for you to see them lol

Yep him too, lol.

Or supposedly top tier hunter Ming-Na Wen having the E-Web gunner in her sights but inexplicably refusing to squeeze the trigger and cap the guy despite having more than enough time to do so. And then instead of diving for cover *behind* the rock no she instead runs in a perpendicular line wide out in the open for like 30 yards.

Both she and the Stormtroopers did the literal opposite of the common sense maneuver to escape harm.

She had obviously seen them in action in the OT and knew she'd be fine.

Both classic mistakes from action scenes .....
When someone is outrunning your line of fire, continue to move at their pace ... not actually adjust and shoot ahead of them.
And ... when something huge is coming straight at you, the best way to avoid it is always to continue to run in its exact path/trajectory. You know ... not actually take a couple of steps to the side to avoid it.

If only Charlize Theron had remembered her training, she wouldn't have ended up being road kill on an alien planet...



Meanwhile....
https://collider.com/the-mandalorian-season-2-robert-rodriguez-interview-boba-fett/

...At one point in the conversation, we asked Rodriguez what it felt like to be in charge of basically reviving Boba Fett (even though his return was technically teased in the Season 2 premiere).

"It was my 12-year-old dream," Rodriguez told us. "When I was 12 was when Empire Strikes Back came out and I was a huge Boba Fett fan. You know, they would tease him out before the movie came out. You already knew he was going to be a character to watch. The marketing was really great, like, 'This character Boba Fett,' and so when you saw the movie, you couldn't wait to see him. He captured your imagination before the movie even came out; it's all we were talking about at school. I still remember that, how mysterious that character was. You got a little taste of him but you were waiting to see more."


He went on to explain, "When I saw the script (on sent me the script) and it said 'Boba Fett' and 'Darksaber' and 'Mando' and 'Fennec,' I was just like, 'This doesn't even feel like a real script. It feels like a fan wrote this in a fever dream hoping that this would be an episode.' And yes, this was the script. It had all the good stuff in it. It was like a 'Greatest Hits' of all the good stuff; I couldn't believe it. To go play in Star Wars with all the toys and to get to play with Boba Fett as one of your main [characters] ? I just thought, 'I gotta go in there and just have him be... I don't know if he's going to show up in any more episodes or what, so I just gotta make him super badass in this moment [and] be that character that I imagined him being when I heard about him when I was 12. That was my mission, just to go satisfy that 12-year-old fascination with the character."

So IMO whatever u think of Mando's Fett, not like the director didn't care. I hope they bring Rodriguez back.

What they should have done - quite clearly - is bring in a specialist squad of Drilling-Troopers to run up to the approaching boulder, bore into it and place a thermal detonator mini-nuke inside. I think this would have vaporized much of the rock, minimizing debris and thus saved the E-web cannon and that trooper from certain destruction.
