Kalshane, you're not wrong, except that, well,
Luke wasn't raised with the no-attachments protocol, and he turned out all right. One could even argue that the reason he survived and triumphed is that he invested in his emotional connections. So I think Ghost!Yoda is telling him bad stuff, without understanding that Yoda's attitude is part of the reason why Anakin fell in the first place...
I actually kind of loved a lot of TLJ, but I didn't love that to get there Luke had to fail so comprehensively with Ben. I'm sure they could have had him get disillusioned with the old Jedi philosophy without another bout of child-murder.
I'm not even sure why we have this series ... it just seems like major filler and also
a way to have more episodes of The Mandalorian without having more episodes. Like they could have made another season of Mandalorian and thrown in the Boba Fett stuff in an episode. Maybe? Possibly the B plot of 2 episodes and then been done with it.
Word. I'm not finding BoBF that compelling.
or to rephrase, the stuff I would find interesting about Boba Fett is not the stuff that the show is doing.
One of my coworkers thinks they only had about 4 episodes of story, but Disney told them they needed to do a minimum of 6 episodes. No clue if that's remotely true, but it makes about as much sense as anything else
I never had much attachment to the character of Boba Fett and didn’t know what to expect from the show. I still don’t really know what they are trying to do with this show, which seems like a problem, but there’s one more episode, maybe it will all come together somehow.
I do regret that I still haven’t finished Clone Wars or watched Rebels so I don’t really know Ashoka’s story, just the parts I’ve seen. I can’t figure out where I left off and there is way too much to just start at the beginning. I did love her character while I was watching, though, and I’m hugely relieved that she’s still alive. That always made me sad in the early seasons of Clone Wars, thinking that all the Jedi would have to die but especially Ahsoka.
Anyway, it does make sense that Luke is all uncertain about how to train a padawan, the one thing he knows for sure is that his own training started super late and didn’t last as long as it probably should have, so he leans harder on what he thinks the tradition is than anything else. I was thinking Ashoka’s advice to trust his instincts was wrong, but I’ve changed my mind to thinking that he can’t actually follow it, he’s too much in his head trying to guess what Yoda would do.
I think he would have done better by trusting his instincts.
Baby!Yoda's solution to dealing with the training remote seemed age-appropriate. (I can't believe no Temple-trained padawans ever decided "Yeah, I'm over being zapped in a sensitive part of the body", *squish* and went off to play in the Room of a Thousand Fountains.)
Um, Luke, pushing a child into recalling the memory of their guardians dying to protect them and then not providing aftercare? Still thinking you're remotely qualified to be dealing with the smols?
This series feels a lot like "Jon and Dave got out ALL the action figures!"

On a show that has
Boba Fett riding a Rancor
? You don’t say.
Anyone watching The Afterparty on Apple+? It is very funny!
It's on my queue; haven't watched yet.
