Mando season 3

[pukunui]

That's a common narrative conceit used in many many many tv shows and movies. Just like someone explains something as they finish the journey, when realistically they had hours on the road to talk about those things. Its a narrative device to catch the audience up on things.

Yeah, but it's kind of a stupid narrative device. They could have done the eating scene separately and then not had them camp out at the bottom of the peak, and it would have made a lot more sense narratively.

Are people seriously weirded out by a cult having weird stuff like always wearing helmets? That's where you draw the line? There are lots and lots of real world cults that a FAR weirder than this.

We aren't talking about that ... We are taking about this. And it's stupid, regardless if there is other stupid stuff out there. More than one thing can be stupid......

Fair enough I suppose. The cult is stupid. Ok. I mean they are in part to blame for the destruction of Amanda lore according to Bo-Katan. Why the presumption that the cult is a good thing? Like, at all?

I’ve always just presumed that the cult was inept and self destructive.

destruction of Amanda lore according to Bo-Katan.

I know it's autocorrect but...my gods what did she do to be destroyed?

 

[Maxperson]

Speaking of Bo-Katan leading... One other thing I thought of. The darksaber only "counts" if you win it in combat.

Din was defeated by that spider-creature on Mandalore. Bo took the darksaber from the spider-creature and killed it, rescuing Din.

Bo is now the rightful owner of the darksaber, by creed.

I don't think that counts. The spider thing didn't take it from him and just beating someone that has it probably doesn't count.

I think the "rightful owner" thing has to be put in the category of "some people believe it", rather than "objectively true". The darksabre does have a mystical connection to the Force giving a seeming of sentience, but what it seems to care about is what the wielder believes in themselves.

Yeah, what qualifies as winning it in battle will be up to the Mandalorians to determine. Do you have to just defeat the blade's current owner, or do you need to defeat them while they're actually wielding it? Does it have to be melee combat, or could you take them out with a blaster? A thermal detonator? A star destroyer?
