It's likely that those humanoids in those tanks are not Snoke or Palps but rather just the soldiers that will eventually wear those Dark Trooper suits. Perhaps, they are members of a failed Trooper experiment, nothing more.

I thought the chase/TIE fighter sequence had better direction than most of the action sequences in the sequel trilogy...

the weird Gyuto chant when they hit the lab (they're definitely Snoke Clones).. the 'M-Count'.. subtle, but nice way to acknowledge it!...

The VFX were really dodgy in the first season. They've been way better this season. I'm glad they're finally figuring out The Volume.B wrote:Those speeder bikes coming down the side of the canyon looked GREAT!Monkey_Driven wrote:I'm continued to be blown away by the special effects in this.

They need force users blood
What if this is how Ahsoka dies?
Would explain why she’s not around in the sequels

Re: Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)
I think someone at Lucasfilm said they were retiring it. But I don't remember where I heard that so I could be totally wrong. I know the ST used a different recurring scream instead.Mecca wrote:I fully expected a wilhelm scream in this oneepilogue wrote:The VFX were really dodgy in the first season.

But we all know how protective he is of the character. Could just be a misdirect or a tiny tantrum.

Re: Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)
The action sequences are just top notch.
Really enjoyed that episode. It seems, for better or worse, that they are able to use the Mando to help flesh out the questions that the ST failed to really explain.
I love the idea of Empire purists are out there gathering and continuing the work. Obviously this cloning stuff should help flesh out Snoke, Emperor's contingency plan, forces gathering in the outer rim etc..

Ashoka and baby Yoda died in the ST timeline paving the way for the Emperors return. They change that using the veil and Luke never drinks titty milk. All is right in Star Wars land.
