TV-9D9 / Re: Ahsoka (SPOILERS possible)

I don't think he's the type to fill Shin in on all his plans.


That seems true. Wasn't he speaking to her in general teams about his mission on that planet? That's where the story seems clunky. Shin isn't totally in the dark. BAylan has big plans and is clear about that, but Shin doesn't get any details. That confuses me on why he has her around. A master doesn't always have to be straight forward with details as we've seen before. So, this is either an interesting new dynamic for a master and apprentice or ... worse.

Maybe its time for a rewatch. Hopefully it's not more confusing after a second time.

So does anybody think Shin knows what Baylan's Goals are? It seems like she doesn't.

Baylan seems cool, or maybe he just thinks he's cool? He clearly knows about the force trinity, but he kind of seems like that "cool guy" you know who's pretty tiresome when you consider all his BS.

Scroll up to my post from 9/24… I was underwhelmed.

Thanks,
How does the color match up with the trophy wall set that came with Han and Ree-yees?

How are the paint apps on the playset? Ive seen a few reviews where they said the walls did not look as good as people had hoped.

Maybe they spent to much on the paint apps for Boba's old county buffet table?

I think the "crates" are more likely to be caskets.  And that's because the place they were taken from was referred to as catacombs by Thrawn.  That's a ritual burial place.

I was kind of thinking the same thing after the zombie troopers respawned.  Maybe these are some kind of super-zombies that will be reanimated by the night sisters.

Yeah, between generations of dead witches and deceased crew of the Chimaera there would be a lot of bodies to reanimate. I'm guessing not all of the crew had survived to this point in the timeline.

I had to look up troop size of a star destroyer...

Imperial I-class Star Destroyers had over 37,000 crew on board— 9,235 officers and 27,850 enlisted personnel. The complement of 9,700 stormtroopers added to a total of 46,785 crew and passengers.[1] With the bridge being located in the upper half of the ship, the officer's quarters were located right below it

It was a far bigger announcement that Transformers fans got a new shot at Fortress Maximus. That's a big deal. For star wars fans that that might be like a reissue of a republic gunship , Turbo tank, or AT-TE at an affordable price.

This is why I love you guys so much.  I make a joke and we completely over-analyze it!   ;D

LOL, we're good like that!



Which part of the movie is this? I'm assuming at the end where everybody sows up to party?

I didn't take it as romantic love. More in relation to Ezra's speech at end of "Rebels" and what he says to Sabine.
...

Yes.
and I would add that Ezra and Sabine trust each other enough at the end of Rebels that he can count on her to distract Hera while he goes off to save everyone. Plus she has that weight of being the person who consciously let him go. I would say that is key to understanding their relationship.

The problem is that literally millions of people’s lives will be lost once they fetch Thrawn.

I guess we'll see how it plays out, but I guess its kind of stupid that Thrawn is so powerful and Thrawn can do anything except for spring himself from jail. Sure there's an ancient map, that was probably made by witches... whatever

Also, I expected a way better commercial for the haslab Ghost than this.

and.. weren't the yuuzhan vong from another galaxy? I don't know as I never read those books and don't need that story line. I tend to care less when SW shifts to "oh no, that bad alien race is attacking the galaxy".

I read this the other day and while I'm happy this is moving forward (Donald and his brother are excellent writers) I'm curious how they are getting around the writer's guild strike.

I think I remember Favreau saying he wrote the first episode of the Mandalorian in a one day of christmas break. I guess a creative person can write on their own free time and not hand over a script until after a strike?

Also, I'm happy for the development. Donald being on board and driving/flying this is likely a good source of momentum to make this go.

I am really feeling like adding a second, I may wait a few weeks just to space out the cost. I'll probably end up just taking the figures from the second set and then selling off the Ghost itself.

You only get charged once the campaign ends.

True, but Hasbro has been consistent about doing the 1 day charge that hits whatever account you charge this on, which means it could bounce a checking account if you weren't planning on that charge hitting right away.

This "story" is fun to read from an inside perspective. The idea that the lead actor in the Book of Boba Fett is announcing "cutbacks" is clear as day to me with how poor that series was.

Whatever the project is Has lab is trending towards having an early backer bonus tier that seems to be limited to the first week.

I was happy to see a familiar class of ship used by Echo and Howzer's team. Their ship looks like a slightly different version of Sidan Ithano's ship that Finn nearly boards in the Force Awakens.

Yikes, I'm going to cancel my darktroopers and see what happens. I don't really care about the wall pods. Maybe these will be rereleased on the standard card and or get a second run with fixes for the issues.
