Because the first thing a Mandalorian looks for in an armor design is exposed arms.
Better than an exposed midriff or boob window at least?
Listen, Doomguy had his priorities straight, why even do those countless thousands of crunches if you're just going to cover them up while you're doing the raddest shit in the world, exactly when you want people to be able to see your torn abs the most.

I kinda wonder if after the NT is released, someone will write a book about Ahsoka meeting Luke as a kinda brother/sister moment with a "your father trained me" type deal.

I recall storm troopers in full armor getting OHKO from blasters.
Well, I mean, real-life soldiers wearing body armor generally get knocked on their ass if they take a direct hit from a rifle, and it isn't great for your health even if it doesn't penetrate
it's probably fair to assume that the armor, like real body armor, is primarily intended to protect them from shrapnel and gas and shit
Or from sudden explosive depressurization since they are in fact supposed to be fighting on board spaceships in space using dubiously accurate high-energy weapons
There are some okay episodes in seasons one and two, and then those build off into really awesome episodes later one using characters in those okay ones. I'm on Season 5 now and it has been pretty consistently good.
I remember a story about him on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Apparently, Mark Hamil was asking him about his craft and how he would do THIS, or that, until Alec Guiness just gave him 50 bucks to stop bugging him.
Clone Wars was surprisingly violent. There are a ton of deaths even in the first season.
The main problem with the show was that it was constrained by the prequels and the crappy film that was released in theaters. The show was reasonably good despite all the dumb crap Lucas forced on it. However, it could have been so much better if it didn't have those limitations.
Clone Wars gets pretty good from season 3 onwards. And surprisingly dark for a kids show.
It does the process of Anakin's slow and steady downfall far more justice than the movies got anywhere close to doing.
Also it give's a pretty decent amount of screen time to the various trooper squad members, which I thoroughly enjoy, despite the recurring terrible faux-Kiwi accent.
If I recall, Mandalorian armor has been able to block blaster shots
That's why Fett's is so beat up
I recall a story where he took a shot square in the chest, and even then it knocked him on his ass and heated the breastplate up enough to burn him underneath
But I know someone's gonna start some shit about Fett now so I don't know why I said anything

As the official shit starter re: Boba Fett, nah. You've convinced me that he's got cooler stuff going on than I'd previously considered.

It's a pretty inexcusable design decision made solely because she's female.

She's merely exercising her right to bare arms.
Should have given her bear arms.
Give Me those Star Wars
Don't let them end
Oh Star Wars
If they should bar wars
Please let these Star wars stay
And hey!
How bout that nutty star wars bar
Can you forget all the creatures in there
And Hey!
Darth Vader in that black and evil mask
Did he scare you as much as he scared me
Yeow!
Star Wars those here in Bar wars
My 7th Winter up here!!
Star Wars!
she is also the only one who points out how hypocritical and unsustainable the jedi code it in any sort of believable capacity
Armor is useless in Star Wars anyway. Lot of good is does for those storm troopers who die from 1 shot or get sliced up by lightsabers.

It lets you know you are about to fight a badass, and nothing else.
Pretty much. Even in the Old Republic era, the armor was used to signify rank/squad and not much else.
no
no armor was really good about blocking blaster shots
jedi and sith stopped wearing it because they fought each other for so long that it only limited mobility and was useless against a saber
they are fodder in a space opera
Thanks, I did not remember that at all.

She seems... maybe kind of generic?
I'm not really sure, though, since it doesn't contain an actual clip of her.
Just some crew talking about her in ways that don't really tell much other than... she's an action girl who likes grafiti?
I suppose that's something to be excited about. I guess?
Okay serious question, where does it get good?
Because what I've seen of it ranged from okay to garbage.

I am getting anxious on their behalf
Clone Wars (beyond Tartakovsky's run) and Rebels and else wise just hold zero appeal for me
Which is fine, those are ostensibly for kids and all
Did Rebels come out of that rumored live action drama they were planning for the last ten years or is that still in some circle of development hell?

You own the Star Wars miniatures game. What are you complaining about?
