Bo-Katan has plenty of reason to be better
with the Darksaber. She's both more aligned with its purpose and also wielded it herself from before the start of the OT until whenever the Purge happened. Also, I loved her little Mandalorian-equivalent of a Force pull to get the saber. We've seen Jedi in that same situation a bunch of times to the point we kind of expect the weapon to go flying into the person's hand as soon as we get that camera shot.
I'm hoping the writers are intentionally trying to show the Children of the Watch are just kind of crappy at the physical parts of being a Mandalorians rather than just making them consistently look like they suck as fighters compared to Bo-Katan and company on accident.
If it is intentional, I wonder if the overall goal of the show is to follow the re-merging of the spiritual side of Mandalorian culture (the Children) and the physical side (Bo-Katan and co.)
Also, I loved her
Sabine Wren pulled the exact same maneuver in Rebels.
Huh. I don't remember that, but that doesn't surprise me considering Obi-Wan also did the broken-masked Vader moment from Rebels.
I was kind of nervous about watching Ted Lasso, I don’t know why. But I pulled up my socks and did it. I don’t know how I want anything to resolve, so whatever happens will probably be good
Oh yay, I forgot Ted Lasso is today!
I binged Lockwood and Co. last weekend. It was good—I hope it gets another season.
The Mandalorian 3.3:
I have no idea what they're doing this season. That wasn't an A and a B plot, that was two completely different episodes smooshed together and neither was particularly satisfying.
Think of it as a continuation of The Clone Wars, which also didn't have an overall arc, and would jump around willy-nilly. And it serves the same purpose as The Clone Wars, which is to rehabilitate the sequel trilogy, the way The Clone Wars rehabilitated the prequels.
Concur, Tom.
Listening to AMCA is fascinating: they're now jumping over S7 of TCW to do a few secondary sources (the Dathomir comics, the Quinlan/Ventress novel, etc), and then they will start on Rebels, and only go back to TCW S7 after Rebels is over. It's so wild.
