Great ****ing episode. Great ****ing show.
Spoiler!
I thought they did Ahsoka well. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Ahsoka did some CRAZY shit physically. I mean it would be like trying to get a live action Wylie Coyote. But they did a nice job. With the cuts, blocking and effects they used they obviously approached it with care.
Dawson took a second to get used to but I was all in by the end. It was a little evident what she was doing vs what the stunt gal was doing. Still well done. I’m not sure how far they can push the string in terms of having a million action scenes likely they did in the animated series. I think there is possibly a ceiling on how much action they can do with the blocking and effects, but again they’ve earned the rope to hang themselves with.
Re: Thrawn. All I know about him is from Rebels. I’m interested to see where they go with this. Swinging for the fences man. That’s a hell of a swing. That can go all the way wrong. But again. They earned the rope.
Re: Danes comments about it not feeling like Mando. The Ahsoka stuff certainly was a different experience altogether. But the Mando stuff was pure Mando. It was a really nice blend of styles.
Re: Beskar can it really eat a straight cut from a lightsaber? I’d have to go back and watch, but damn I feel like that isn’t what I’ve seen in Clone wars/Rebels. But I could be wrong. Pretty nice flex that Mando was fixing to take a whoppin from Ahsoka. Good that they didn’t have him square up and be her equal. Nice care to take to take a real objective look at how it would go. Really REALLY ****ing well done.
I’m going to be tremendously sad when we hit ep 8.
Shit is ****ing good. Really ****ing good. I mean there is a limit of scope they can have within the constraints of the series, but man, they’re taking incredible care to get it right. They’re swinging for the fences, but they’re really doing the right things to take appropriate care.
