The comic is very cute, but we all remember this story ends with Jango poisoning her to death in a way so foolish it immediately reveals the information she was killed to keep a secret?

sorry i actually missed something about the episode
nice to have boba fett make a cameo midway through
I can't get over the fact that those teenagers just live with him now. They deserve their own Hannah-Barberra-esque cartoon spinoff on Disney+
In response to Legacy character and how he is handled
Yeah, he looks much better but his voice seems like it's AI generated or something and is off putting. The nice thing about Luke in the sequel trilogy is a lot of Mark Hamill's personality and humor was allowed to spill into the character, and here he is just stoic, boring old hero. I get that he is Uber Jedi now but it's not like he gave up having a personality at the end of RTJ.

And then there's also Aura Sing. Basically Boba's bounty hunter mentor.

That's because his voice is AI generated
which is probably why the diction feels so stilted. the voice is probably primarily from ROTJ, where Luke is putting on his most "I'm a Jedi". like, this is the voice he's he uses to tell Jabba to watch his ass, but it's not the voice he uses with his friends

I found it funny that they are so proud of this when the voice is the biggest uncanny valley for me right now. I’m not sure if I can say it is poorly acted since it’s all synthisised but like sounded fuckin bored and had no nuance.
I dunno I'm not a darksabre expert or whatever but it seems weird to plant the idea of a Mandalorian Jedi in the last episode and then in this one be all like "you can only be one or the other"
Also this episode was a mess structurally
Also I hate CG Luke, I hate it
Also what is Luke gonna do if Grogu takes the lightsabre, just hold onto the mithril shirt until he sees a hobbit?

the whole concept of doing that stuff just kinda sucks out loud
On the one hand it's cool as a technological development, on the other you know that studios are going to use it to reduce the costs of using an actor down to likeness rights. And (as has already happened) perverts are gonna use it to make porn of actresses.
He's a Mary Sue! Where'd he learn to lightsaber like that?!
Sorry.
But seriously, he's a GIANT dick.
On the other hand...
CAD BANE, BAYBAY!
When we saw the silhouette in the distance, my son yelled "That must be Cad Bane!". His sister promptly berated him for thinking ridiculous things with no basis in reality and yelling them out. He has not stopped gloating.
I don't really get the "where did Luke get this training/information" complaints. Like Yoda, Ben, and Anakin force ghosts showed up just so he could nod at them at the end of RotJ. They have to have been regularly communing with him to train/teach him about the Jedi order (which tbh I don't think deserved to continue)
Just cast Sebastian Stan as young Luke, it’s so easy. Or at least let PROFESSIONAL VOICE ACTOR Mark Hamill record the lines and then modulate them to get the sound you need.

Any difference in style should probably be attributed to the limitations of the time. In the context of RotJ Luke and Vader are very good space sword fighters.

Probably the only actor the voice tech is suitable for is Anthony Daniels, and only because he is the only person to ever voice C-3P0 (unless that has changed recently) so he's probably both okay with it and has plenty of dialog recorded to choose from.

One of the few universally accepted positives of the prequels was Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan. Donald Glover's Lando was a huge audience favorite. Even Alden Ehrenreich's Solo probably suffered more from poor direction then the actors ability. It's a shame that we don't get to see more recasts. Stan would be cool to see as Luke.

Alden Ehrenreich was a v good Han, he kept the mannerisms and little bits without just copying Harrison Ford.
Like, he does that little shithead smirk and it's a Han thing, owning that total confidence in his own ability despite the odds.
edit: also ya'll know he was in Supernatural? one of the first season episodes, the one with the Wendigo.

so how come we never see people using the Force with blasters? like, yeah yeah clumsy and random, but how dope would it be using the Force to do crazy trick shots or bend a blaster bolt around cover, walking through a gunfight like Chirrut Îmwe, because the Force tells you where shots are gonna come from.
I think a single Force-trained blaster user could definitely kill a Jedi. Hell, we see regular ol' clone troopers do it to a lot of Jedi.
You basically need overwhelming numbers/rate of fire for that, preferably coming from as many directions as possible (Force bullshit or not, physics and anatomy make it much harder to block from two sides at once). AoE is good too.
A critical part of it, though, is some way of keeping the Force user from simply noping out when they realize things are against them. They tend to be very mobile. So ideally you need to surprise them and then either keep them boxed in or make it so all the other options (jumping off the catwalk, cliff etc) are worse.
This is a long way of saying that IMO a single blaster, even in the hands of another Force user, isn't gonna be enough.
Not that it keeps Han from trying in ESB. Anyone who couldn't stop three shots with his kriffing hand would be dead.
The episode manages to be centered around Djarin, but at the same time having a conversation with the themes that have gone on through the rest of the show. The Mando walks in, and has a wicked cool action scene. "Yes! This is what we wanted from this show!" It's thrilling and explosive and badass. But at the same time, it is kind of sad. Look at Din. All that development from the 2 seasons of the mando have essentially gone out the window. He's back to the big d walking, spouting off his catch phrases. Hanging out with the other Mandos, a cliche (exciting one, yes). And he himself is sad. Contrast with Boba, who has not been that almost the entire show. What is instead? Calm, cool, collected. Nothing to prove, no bounties to hunt. He knows himself and is at something approaching peace, even when he seems way over his head. Mando is conflicted. His found family suddenly has become way too constricting, where Boba's allowed him to be himself. To take off the mask, while the Children of the Watch insist on keeping the mask on. And then, Din's family rejects him, because he's growing past them. "This is the way" that cool phrase suddenly takes on a new meaning. It's a cult catchphrase. "The Greater Good." I've said that I think the show is telling exactly the story it wants to tell, and this I think further illustrates it. They are deliberately not doing Boba as the big action hero, going for something else. I have no idea where they are going, and that is thrilling to me.
My wife and I are catching up on Boba Fett now, and when he was
talking to the armorer
my wife asked me to explain what The Way was. I was having a lot of difficulty until I said to her
It's a religion.
We've seen Clone Wars and know the Mandalorians were nothing like this.

Pretty much any force user would be better off having a lightsaber in one hand and a blaster in the other.
But that wouldn’t really vibe with the “knight” feel the series wants Jedi to have.

That one moment Kanan in Rebels fought the inquisitor with Ezra's saber/blaster was too powerful. Just seamlessly switching between sword and shooting to keep the inquisitor off his game was great.

Two things come to mind. First, Karen Traviss in her endless quest to pump up morally grey assassin tribes made a splinter faction of "Grey Jedi" who don't subscribe to your Force alignments, MANNNN, and also use blasters. It reads like edgy, terrible fanfiction and I hated it. There was also the Skywalker descendant protagonist of the Star Wars Legacy comics who used the Light side and Dark side and lightsabers and blasters. It was honestly much better because it was pulpy as heck and tried a lot of imaginative ideas. But unfortunately, the fight scenes were constantly drawn and choreographed confusing as hell, the Force power usage was inconsistent and bizarre (Dark side HEALING is the best! Until a plot twist when it turns out Light side healing is better! It reads like someone's very bad tabletop house rules, much of the time), and it didn't end super engagingly.

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
Racer Revenge on PS2 was already a sequel to the N64 game. And I believe there was a recent port of the... N64 one(?) to Ps4.
I don't own a PS4 so it doesn't count.
