Maybe the bounty hunters are expected to randomly fly all around the galaxy until the little red light on the fob starts blinking faster and faster. "Shit, it's slowing down again. Must have been that last solar system."Quote:

There’s no need to bring up diversity. I was thinking the other day that none of the characters introduced in these movies are compelling enough for me to want to see them in any side stories. Maybe that’s part of me being old, but give me Marvel or Game of Thrones and these characters would be fun to watch doing more adventures. I really don’t care about seeing Rey save her friends again, or Kylo do sword fighting. Mayyybe I would like to see the silver Storm Trooper who is constantly getting pushed off-screen, but none of the main characters have kept my interest.
I think The Last Jedi was interesting from a meta perspective. A lot of the stuff on screen felt like it was talking directly to the audience about Star Wars. There were some fun sequences, but they mostly piss off the fans. I enjoyed it overall, but I’m hesitant to revisit it.
I watched what’s available of The Mandalorian. It took me an episode to get into it, but I started to enjoy the vibe. It’s a pretty mellow show that I’m enjoying in a laid back way. I let it play while doing other things and had a good time with it. Set up in 1-3 was pretty good. 4 and 5 are episodic and either could have been left out, but they aren’t great standalone stories that I need to revisit.
I was hoping that Phasma would end up being more than she was. Oh, well.Quote:

The series just adds so much depth to the prequel world. Rebels is also fantastic. JEJ as Darth Vader! Thrawn! Lots of nods to Clone Wars and the movies and some great voice work and stories. Highly recommended.Quote:

But that’s preferable to a magic beeper that mysteriously tracks random people around the galaxy.Quote:

Maybe it's bluetooth.
I'm pretty sure in either Episode 1 or Episode 2 it did say it was DNA based tracking, vs the thing being tracked having a tracker on them.
Yeah, I definitely had it in my head from the start. The main q is: How/why do they have all this DNA, most specifically for Baby Yoda?Quote:

You can track DNA across outer space?
Thanks!Quote:
