I still haven't been able to explain whether Boba Fett is a good guy or a bad guy, so I've been ruining her enjoyment for weeks at this point.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

What does she think Boba is? Do y'all get to discuss this stuff at all? I think that would be a ton of fun.

My friend has a ten year old who is obsessed with SW and I love talking to him about it.

Is that your first time seeing Cad Bane? I can't remember if you watch the animated shows or not.
yeah, first time. I havent seen the animated show, nor i will. They look awful and i just dont have the will to see them.

But damn this guy felt, looked and sounded super menacing. I miss that...since maybe Maul in Ep 1? And then since Vader.

He's a great villain. I hope they continue to use him in the live-action shows.

He also has a pretty significant history with Boba Fett. So... should be cool to see how this plays out.

I’m becoming disappointed that I didn’t pay closer attention to clone wars. So much is being mined from that show that I think I’m missing a bit

Speaking of which, I want to know how Grogu survived that attack.

As opposed to appearances by Cobb Vanth, R2D2, Grogu, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, Din Djarin, and the Ghost of Obi-Wan?
most of those had some purpose to the story. But joe is right, i need more context on why she appeared and disappeared.
I think that's totally fair. I'd like more context as well. Because as much as I loved it on a pure emotional level, it was a little weird. I'm with you there.

Nothing more or less complicated than Filoni write the episode. You and I both have long wanted this meeting and more to come of it. But we don’t know they have t had those long chats already. Her line about so like your father, suggests they have. I think this is all we’re gonna get from this for now.

Unless? We get the full thing in the Ahsoka series?

Knew who it was immediately even only a figure tiny and shimmering in the heat.

Had to be him. The hat and long coat dead giveaway. And they did that whole thing so well.

We still don’t know it is saves Grogu from the temple.

It doesn’t have to be someone we know. Whoever it is seemingly stood and watched 3 Jedi get taken down.

So, my guess is it is someone we know and serious.
Possibly yoda or kenobi?

Well, The Mandalorian did save him from mercenaries. Would be weird if Kenobi had saved him first?

It took me years to get through the first season. I finally got over the hump at the continued urging of a buddy of mine and binged all of it plus Rebels in the matter of a few months. Some of the highest highs of any Star Wars content. Do it!

I have no problem with an unexplained Ahsoka visit. She's just a big jet setter, but they really did stiff us on the meeting of the two great, Vader-adjacent Jedi, didn't they?

Me too. No doubt in my mind as soon as three showed him. But find into the episode I did not expect him to be in it at all.

I was not surprised by the other appearances.
