fellow geeks: How many times have you watched S2:E8 now?
Dec 21, 2020, 12:36 PM
|

APM asks because a former lungeite and geek just confessed he had JUST NOW watched it.
Dayum. APM done peeped dat sh*t twice. And watched parts of the final 15 minutes several times.

Watched it twice now. I wish the CGI of Luke wasn't so awful, but it was definitely an awesome twist to the show.
Really not sure where Season 3 is going to go, but they need to get the dynamic back with Mando and Grogu - so I wonder where we are in the stage of Luke's failure as a teacher.
Book of Boba Fett looks interesting.

It seemed to me like that was the last we'd see of

baby Yoda. I don't expect to see really-bad-CGI Luke again either.

I think it depends on the timing.

When did the Jedi temple get destroyed with Ben Solo? If we're close to that, we might get Grogu back, right?
Baby Yoda is critical to the shows success I think, so I think he'll find his way back. Maybe Luke will see some dark side in him?
Agree they'll mitigate CGI Luke as much as possible. It was a cool throwback and especially seeing R2.

Turns out it was the for-real Hamill. Not just CGI.

The CGI was just used to de-age him.

But the CGI wasn't good, we've seen better with Samuel L Jackson, and even Benjamin Button.

Seriously???? Bad CGI?

I mean, it wasn't great, but it was sooooo much better than Leia in Rogue One that it wasn't funny.

I usually watch each episode twice.

I'll put it on during the day while I'm working and then watch it again when I can really pay attention. Rewatching S2:E8 was funny because I noticed they screwed something up in the beginning: the disabled Empire shuttle said they lost power and comms were down, but a second later Boba Fett gets on the radio and is like, "Prepare to be boarded!"

Outside of the reveal at the end, it wasn't a great finale
Dec 21, 2020, 5:20 PM

it was good, but a little boring and "TV" quality action. Even the stuff with Luke wasn't to the level of Darth Vadar's scene in Rogue One. The Luke Reveal certainly made the episode but I don't really have any desire to watch it again.
But that's just my opinion on it, but I'm glad most seem to be happy with the finale and the show. I do hope they can go off now and do their own "non-orginal trilogy" stories surrounding the Mandalorian home planet. The problem with the movies was their obsession with the nostalgic parts of Star Wars.

yep, watched it for the first time last night.

Enjoyed it and all, but won't watch again.
Seemed odd after all the Mandalorian dogma to have him take off his helmet with no real context as to why other than saying bye to baby Yoda.

He took it off before so there is precedent
Dec 21, 2020, 6:24 PM

and the 2nd time he did it (in an empire base, nonetheless) was also to show how he puts his connection with baby yoda over his own sense of code.
The chick from Battlestar Galactica takes hers off all the time and points out he is part of a "cult" so maybe the show is slowly introducing the idea of him taking his helmet off more. I don't know. I like him keeping it on.
But I do think the idea with him taking it off is to "tell" the audience how much he cares for baby yoda and if the show doesn't have a baby yoda anymore, there's no reason to take his helmet off.
