The first half of the episode doesn't really make sense, but there is an interesting thematic conflict introduced in the second that keeps it from being utter nonsense.
Jaster: *while leading a small child out of a forest to the nearest space port to bring him back to Mandalore* …Ob’ika, this is the fifth tooka to try and climb into your robes this morning. Are you… do you normally take care of them? Like when I’m sleeping?
12 year old Obi-Wan, just met Jaster three days ago when their ships crashed on the same planet, was adopted within five minutes of meeting him: …no? They just. I mean. Animals just sorta… do that, ya?
Jaster: Oh. Do they always do that with Jetii?
Obi-Wan: …oh I mean… I guess not. They always do that with me. Master Yoda said I’m aligned with the cosmic force, which is why I give Master Windu an eye twitch when he sees me, but animals are sorta chill. They don’t care about the bad, they just think the cosmic force tastes good.
Jaster: !!!!!!!?????! What the kark does the cosmic force taste like??? What the kark IS the cosmic force????
Obi-Wan: Oh, um, it sorta tastes like sparkles, I think? Lil bit spicy, you know? It’s when your force attracts both unifying and living force to it.
Jaster: Okay, that last one makes a bit more sense and you could have lead with that. The living likes you because the living force likes you. And you taste like sparkles. Okay. Sure. You know what, you have a big brother, Jango, and he made about as much sense as you do now when he was your age. Arla was already in the ‘makes sense sometimes’ category when I got her. Idk why I questioned that.
Obi-Wan: *giving his most recent tooka cling-on a kiss* This one is really stupid, can we keep him? The stupid ones don’t last long in the wild.
need you to know that i very consistently forget crash and burn isn't canon bc it's just So Good (it actually lives rent free in my head 24/7 STILL)
Thank you so much! I can't believe people are still enjoying it, I have this reaction every time someone says something nice 👆
I love these boys so, so much. I kind of knew that s3 wouldn't be what I hoped for (not that I knew what it would be, just that I couldn't see them resolving the s2 finale story beats satisfactorily), so my goal with C&B was to make an s3 for meeeee
three core things were missing in the trailer and im not happy.
merrin?? where is she. is she safe?? is she alright?? she only joined the crew at the last second we got no content of her she better have a big part in this game.. i wanted to see her aged up look so bad
GREEZ. guys im so scared for greez. he has told cal he will never allow him to fly the mantis ever so the fact cal now has the mantis worries me and makes me think he's not here to reject it anymore. WAY TO CRASH A DEAD MAN'S PRIZE POSSESSION CAL.
and most importantly of all. WHERE the fuck is cal's glock. yes i know it's a blaster but calling it a glock is funnier. shooting moves have been hyped the fuck up ever since we saw the gun on his hip and we get NOTHING??? no content of him shooting things??? good lord i'm disappointed /j
Playing survivor on a steam deck has been an exercise in patience more than anything but once every 4 thousand crashes you end up with something really, really funny. Like Cal spontaneously swapping out with Cere in the middle of her dying
I like to think that it wouldnt even be that insane in the star wars universe. You watch some guy get force choked out in a bar fight and you just turn your head back to your drink. Another planet blows up, and one person a system over mourns their favorite streamer. "You cant have shit on Coruscant" is a meme that still hits for everyone except the people of Coruscant
Wait - how could I forget the time the fucking zillo beast attacked Coruscant?! Those people have seen things, man.
ok read a couple js takes and i just gotta say . How have you as a star wars fan still not figured out how to sort the actual story from the disney mandated "this is the tie in we're pushing now" like .... ofc the high republic stuff was weird and shoehorned and made no sense it wasnt supposed to support the story it was supposed to make you look up high republic and see the book series and the disney plus show and the quantic dream game set in the high republic. if you wanna actually engage with the story and figure out what the game is about pay attention to CAL who called the ninth sister by her name before killing her. who promised merrin she wouldnt have to worry about him before immediately breaking that promise. who EVEN in the post game is using the dark side. tanalorr and dagan and santari as tangible things don't matter they're just reflections of cal and his desires and the people who love him why do you think cal said "wait i think dagan has a point" so many times. this was not a happy ending this is not going to result in cal merrin kata domestics on tanalorr in the next game i genuinely think cal is fucking doomed !
