Yeah I wasn't that impressed with this one either. That said, with John & Dave, I'm expecting they're setting up for something down the line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Appa from Kim’s Convenience was the other X Wing Pilot. Other then baby Yoda snacking on them eggs, pretty lack luster episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Are we supposed to read more into baby Yoda literally eating her children with no remorse and never batting and eye at the people Mando kills? It’s either supposed to be an underlying darkness to him or is it just him being a toddler and stuffing anything in his sight into his mouth? I wasn’t quite sure if they were just playing it for comedy or trying to show something more I don’t really care, if he becomes the next Palpatine and enslaves the galaxy, as long as he stays little and ****ing adorable, people probably wouldn’t mind Edited November 8, 2020 by Momma There Goes That Man 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the idea is that Yoda's species is so in tune with the force they can intuitively use light and dark force powers from a very young age. As if the show is sort of a thought experiment, "What would Yoda be like if he didn't have a mentor?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I also think they are teasing that no one is inherently good or bad, and his “side” will be dependent on his upbringing. For as much dark he’s shown, he’s also shown light. Healing people who are mortally wounded, saving Mando. He’s been perfectly balanced (as all things should be). Perhaps he will be the key to balance within the force between the dark and the light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Per George Lucas, Darth Maul was going to be the main villain of his sequel trilogy Quote George Lucas has revealed that Darth Maul would have been one of the main villains of his Star Wars sequel trilogy, had his continuation of the story ever made it to the big screen.As Screen Rant reports, Reddit user bothanspy89 posted a page from The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005 book that hit shelves earlier this week, detailing some of the ways that Lucas' Star Wars sequel trilogy would have differed from Disney's version of Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. The excerpt reveals that Darth Maul would have returned as the Big Bad of the galaxy far, far away alongside Darth Talon."Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice," Lucas explains the latest Star Wars Archives volume, which covers the making of the prequel trilogy. "She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So these were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over." According to the new interview, the trilogy would have started a few years after Return of the Jedi, with Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker trying to rebuild the Jedi Order "from scratch" and training a future generation of heroes. The three films would have concluded with the late Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia Organa being revealed as the Chosen One."By the end of the trilogy, Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi, and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. So she ended up being the Chosen One," Lucas said, sharing more details about his abandoned plans for the Star Wars sequel trilogy.While Lucas never got around to making his sequel trilogy, he did come close to making a live-action Star Wars series, years before Jon Favreau took on the task with The Mandalorian. Lucas commissioned no fewer than 50 scripts for Star Wars Underworld, a series set between Episodes III and IV that would have explored the criminal underbelly of the galaxy during the reign of the Empire.

PokerPacker Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm not on board with the whole "Darth Maul survived being cut in half" thing. When Obi Wan was cut in half, he immediately vanished into thin air. At least thing about Boba Fett surviving the Sarlacc pit, one can argue that his armor protected him from digestion.

Right up until you hear Maul's treatise on how much he loves sand. I still think they're missing a huge element in the Jedi Purge, Vader and his inquisitors hunting down Jedi. Make it dark AF.
