Use jet packs!”Okay, fine that makes enough sense, and is a good enough reason to have a chase.“oh no!  We ran out of fuel!  Like we always do.”Wait, what?  The jet pack plan always ends this way, and you keep trying it?  Oh look, at least Bo-Katan is thinking…“I didn’t want to scare it, it might kill the kid.  So I came back for a squad…”Okay, it’s a bit of a stretch, but I guess the kid can survive long enough for you to fly back…“…and we’re going to have to camp out, and then slowly climb up the next day.”Okay, is this thing just having tea with the kid?  Why would it possibly keep him alive in the nest for 18 hours?  Oh, hungry babies?  Well guess the kid is definitely dead.No wait!  Not only did the beast keep him alive for 18 hours (with hungry babies waiting, no less), it did so by flying around and keeping him inside itself!I’m sorry, that’s just all a level of incompetent writing that destroys any willing suspension of disbelief I had.  And it could have been so simple.  The kid was alive because the babies hadn’t hatched yet…the mother was being proactive. That would have still given us the nest scene, and the fight at the end.  And you still could have had the babies hatch during mid-rescue.  It doesn’t explain the whole “we ran out of gas…again” thing though.Anyway, I normally cut Star Wars a lot more slack, but the stupid just kept piling up to the point where we all just couldn’t take the rest of the episode seriously.</blockquote>
