Why is the Sabezra reunion giving me Frozen vibes?

The Ahsoka series really is giving off Disney princess vibes.

[tessaliagrey]

OK, but please somebody else admit that you too where a little unnerved by how bright blue Ezra's eyes are in the show? They could have found darker contacts, right? RIGHT?

EZRA BRIDGER IS BACK !!!!!

I love his smile, I love his hair, I love his eyes, I love the scars on his cheek, I love the medieval nomad hermit knight look he's got going on with the hand crafted armour and I absolutely love this hug ahhhhhhh😍😍😍😍

I am a little scared for next week though. Sabine will have to eventually break the news. "Yeah... I'm the reason Thrawn is heading back home to kill everyone 😬 Sorry."

Ahsoka The White to the rescue!!!

Oh man this shit is gettin good.

Mando'a is now a work language option on Ao3!

[tessaliagrey]

It's so funny to me that literally every jedi at some point in their mastery becomes a massive hypocrite.

Hera: Sabine figured out the map

Ahsoka: yeah and then she lost it

Ahsoka, that's you. You're literally her. You lost so many things as a padawan. You were a little gremlin. You were the worst. You made Anakin prematurely age. Lol, girl be real here.

can you imagine how weird it would be to be one of korkie's roommates though. you walk in on the first day with your parents and you find the leader of your whole planet. possibly one of Thee Most prominent and controversial political figures in recent memory (even if she currently has the people's support). and she's just. helping this kid move into your dorm room. she's dressed. like. normal????? and she's unpacking school supplies????? in your dorm room???? and that's your roommate's aunt. who raised him. she visits him on campus one time and he calls her every night to tell her about his day. you get invited to stay over at the mandalorian equivalent of the white house one weekend. he consistently talks about how your WORLD LEADER used to read him bedtime stories and took him to the library every week. you've gotten used to the idea that there are probably mandalorian protectors keeping tabs on you. what is your life

I love that design for her armor!

Some young mandalorian Satine Kryze in these trying times?

[tessaliagrey]

Y'all this is OLD. I was dusting the archives of my iPad to find this from March 2022, back when my only available references were Clone Wars screencaps and like 1 ep of Mando which is why she's missing the Nite Owl symbol on her pauldron 💀 anyway enjoy this piece of my ~ancient~ history

This season of the Mandalorian went hard on “symbols matter but people matter more”. The darksaber and the mythosaur are both very important symbols to the Mandalorians but it wasn’t either of them that saved the day it was people being there for each other and believing in each other and standing up for each other and saving each other

[tessaliagrey]

does that mean din has been introducing himself like james bond. the names din. din djarin.

[tessaliagrey]

Guess I'm officially old 😅

the real generational gap is which sci-fi TV show about a ragged band of survivors fleeing a destroyed planet you know Katee Sackhoff from

[tessaliagrey]

I trust the armorer about as far as I can throw her. And given the fact that woman is wearing beskar, it ain't very far...

Also, it's so cute how people are now like "her helmet has horns"... Like, yeah Sweety, since like episode 1. And NOW you find that noticeable?

[tessaliagrey]

There is only one possible end for Gideon and that is death by Mythosaur.

[tessaliagrey]

Ah, there is my villain.

In his villain's lair. Right there, right at the heart of Mandalore.

Gideon wants to be Mandalore? In that case, death by Mythosaur sounds appropriate. I'll accept no other end for that man.

So, I finally managed to catch up watching The Mandalorian. 😊

A lot of things I read over the last weeks is that people used to love the first two seasons and now hate the third.

Anybody who’s ever been on my blog or read my fics over on AO3 knows I love Bo-Katan to bits - but still, I do have my issues with this season, too. And while some people on here are sitting in the proverbial desert yelling “Feloniiiii” in a Maul-esque way, I don’t think it’s Dave’s fault (alone).

First, we have the cameos (I’m not talking famous people in little roles). We had Ahsoka, Boba, Fennec, Luke, Cad Bane,… The comment I’ve often read, that Din is like a guy who is in Star Wars but doesn’t know anything about Star Wars and just happends to stumble into all of the bigger plot lines of the franchise is kind of true, really. And in a way, it’s also fun. But it’s not really a plot.

Second, there is this feeling that Din sidelined Boba in BOBF (true), and that in turn, he now gets sidelind by Bo-Katan in his own show (also, kind of true). But honestly, I’m not that surprised, and I don’t think this tracks back to Feloni. This tracks back to Favreau. It’s something we have seen in the MCU since it entered its phase 2. The Mandalorian has always been more of Favreau’s than Feloni’s baby, and I’m afraid it shows. Though I guess Bo-Katan’s general involvement is on Feloni; she is his OC after all. (If not even his favorite OC.) And we know that he would like to tell her story.

“All I want is to watch Din travel the galaxy with Grogu, going from place to place.” - I bet you do, honey, but that, too, isn’t a plot, that’s a travel guide to the gffa.

So, we arrived at yet another problem. The plot. To be fair, I don’t think we are seeing the original plot for season three. At least not in its entirety. They plotted the season while Gina Carano was still a cast memeber, and Cara Dune still part of the overall narrative. For a production of that size, Carano was ousted comparatively late; her character most likely already written in at least half the episodes. Since it obviously was decided to not simply fill the gap with another actress, a lot of what was planned now had to be re-written rather quickly in comparison. I think that’s why some things feel so rushed (like Bo-Katan’s arc), while the rest of the story doesn’t really seem to go anywhere.

But, honestly, my biggest “problem” with this season is the absence of a good villain. “It’s time to take back Mandalore.” Yes, my dearest Armorer, but from whom, might I ask? Bo and Din were just there. Nobody stopped them. Who’s going to stop you? Sure, we know that Gideon never made it to his trial and was probably extracted by someone loyal to him - and I guess we can be sure that Elia Kane is involved - but the Covert doesn’t know that. I mean, yeah, we all know that a Mandalore’s greatest problem is Mandalorians, but … You guys know what I’m getting at. WHO AND WHERE IS OUR VILLAIN???

So, anyway, that was my two cents to the hole debate 😁

Guess one thing still remains true: animated Star Wars is the best Star Wars.

Can't wait till August 🤩

[tessaliagrey]

With the Ahsoka trailer out, even the most reluctant might finally watch Rebels.

Win/win.
