Edmilson 7,470 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I somehow managed to stay spoiler-free, so Luke's appearance totally blown my mind. But I'm a little worried with Baby Yoda now. If he's going to be one of the padawans at Luke's newly reformed Jedi Academy, it means that in a few years he'll be slaughtered by Ben Solo and the Knights of Ren. 4 hours ago, Niktob said: I twas never going to be that good because Marvel has used the original actors and "de-aged" them. This was a complete deep fake face-swap. Not perfect, but better than Leia in Rogue One! 5 hours ago, SilverTrumpet said: According to the end credits, it was Mark Hamill playing Luke in that scene.

blondheim 1,157 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Grogu could leave anytime before the Kylo Ren incident and have his own adventures. At this point it would be like assuming Ahsoka was going to die in the Jedi Purge from early on in the Clone Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,897 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm sure Grogu will be back eventually... the only other alternative is that he will inevitable be slaughtered by Kylo Ren. All-in-all the only somewhat disappointing aspect of the episode was the dodgy CGI for Luke. I would've liked more information on why Gideon wanted Baby Yoda so bad, and what Pershing was doing, but I'm sure they're saving that for Season 3. EDIT: Did anyone else exit the episode right as the end credits ended? I literally closed the app a second or two before the after credits scene started, I didn't even know there was one until I saw someone on Facebook point it out.

Arpy 4,145 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It isn't clear how many clones of Palpatine were created between Return of the Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, but I'm guessing the stability of each depended on the midichlorian count of whatever cells they could find. They lucked out with Grogu, but who knows how many other Jedi were used to sustain him? Palpatine pushes the Jedi to extinction, then needs them to help him survive - ironic eh? It would be interesting to see Palpatine in such a vulnerable position, like somewhere between a Force Ghost and a Zombie. Kinda similar to Voldemort in Goblet of Fire. I hope future shows can give more insight. I've often said that the weakest parts of the Sequel Trilogy, namely the preponderance of the First Order and later with Palpatine's return, are woefully underdeveloped.

Thor 7,518 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Did they make multiple clones of Palpatine? Who created them? I'm kinda fussy on that aspect of the lore.

Arpy 4,145 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I would've thought Palpatine might've consulted the Kaminoans as part of an extensive contingency plan as they were already established cloners. Maybe Jedi are harder to clone??? The original EU books already featured the idea of Palpatine going through multiple clones before trying to possess Luke's body.

Bespin 8,484 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It seems Lucasfilm has confirmed there is a connection with The Mandolarian and the cloners of Kamino. I didn't read all the books wrote by Timothy Zahn in the previous century... but if I remember wel, there was a clone of a Jedi who went insane and out of control. So that's what I told you, you CAN'T CLONE A JEDI... "But I really don't think he's a Dark Jedi. He's erratic and moody, but he doesn't have the sort of evil aura about him that I could sense in Vader and the Emperor. I think it's more likely that Master C'baoth is insane." ―Luke Skywalker, to R2-D2[src]https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Joruus_C'baoth They just don't know it yet, it seems... Again, another previsible plot... Admiral Thrawn is not far... And oh, did you know that Joruus C'baoth was originally supposed to be a mad clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Lucasfilm rejected the idea at the time...)? A connection with the Obi-Wan series to come. So prepare to see Ewan McGregor in the Mando in 2021, before the Obi-Wan series in 2022. Ewan, your career is restarting big time! Yep... So previsible... but so lucrative!!! So I must admit, in those conditions... I'll probably watch the 3rd Season of Mando. Well, Mando will remain a second zone character surrended with great mythic characters. But, they intended it like that, why not. He's just the link to connect the dots. But it's beginning to be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 So, bit of tricky news. Back at the big Disney investor briefing, they announced that "the next chapter" of The Mandalorian would be premiering in December 2021. Well, turns out that's NOT The Mandalorian Season 3, it's The Book of Boba Fett. Favreau said on Good Morning America that Mando season 3 wouldn't even be going into production until late 2021/early 2022, so I'd imagine that will premiere December 2022.

Popular Post Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2020 Ironically it’s also shown just how powerful the portrayal of Luke in TLJ really is. He truly was a legend - the fear in Moff Gideon’s eyes when he realised who’d just shown up, and the ease with which he dispatched the dark troopers just goes to show how far Luke had fallen in TLJ and why his sacrifice at the end was such a crucial turning point for the Resistance. The problem was never in Luke’s portrayal in TLJ, it was that a lot of people lacked the imagination to understand what he must have achieved - and failed at - to arrive at that point. This episode just helps to fill in those gaps IMO. crumbs, Dr. Rick, Holko and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
