    The Book of Boba Fett

    rewatching those grogu scenes really cements how much I hate what the prequels did to Yoda, and thus, what filoni did to Grogu in this episode. Grogu is effectively a half trained 5 year old child, yet his species is especially force sensitive as he clearly demonstrates. With training he could...

    The 25 mil was a troll post on their forums mocking smedley. The 16mil was a projection based on 4 months worth of opening month performance. This game had a total of between 4 and 6mil users at most. I dont care how big your backlog is, 21mil ppl didnt buy the game and never once logged in.

    Yeah there estimates are a total crock of shit. Read their methodology, based on launch numbers only and online "sentiment" at the time (prior to/ at launch) If the game maintained 1 million peak players each month despite losing 90% of their players each month, then you could assume they must...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Welp chalk me up as not a fan of filoni. I never watched the animated clone wars but heard great things, but it seems he made them to continue and expand upon the prequels rather than to course correct them. Cgi yoda doing flips and shit ruined yoda as a character and invalidated everything he...

    oh wait, lol, i forgot this game sold for $40 not $60... It may have lost money they cleared probably 25-27 bucks per sale, and if they only sold 4 million copies that means they just about broke even ignoring opportunity costs. so yeah colossal failure as a game and as a financial investment...

    welp the youtube deepfake dude definitely a good call to hire him. so much better than the de-aging from mando last season. who was the blue dude with red eyes.. Oh and rewatched those scenes in mando season 2, boba definitely not a mandalorian and he states as much several times in ep 6-8...

    No idea about the number of boxes sold but it was at least 4 million given the peak concurrent users and number of servers released. Avg server can support 2k players (some more some less) and they had 500 servers, so they could support up to 1 million players online, and they peaked around...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Whoosh. Uh not quite. Might need to rewatch mandalorian but iirc it made jango mandalorian for the canon, but as a test tube baby it made boba fett a joke. None of the mandalorians respect him at all, to them hes just another clone trooper. They go out of their way to mock him and his voice...

    Financially it was a massive success. It sold a fuck ton of boxes and it got people to play it just long enough to no longer be able to get a refund on steam, so they get to keep all that money. It's buy to play with no real cash shop, so initial sales is about the only revenue stream it was...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    We're not in disagreement here, lucas is an asshole. The EU was always just fanfic to him. As long as the checks cleared, he just ignored it. Most of it was shitty fanfic so he didn't care. But if the lore was good, like the mandalorian shit? He took it personally, like how dare someone come...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Exact opposite. To lucas, Boba fett was effortless cash from toy revenue. The fans created all this bullshit backstory, basically invented the entire mandalorian culture mythos from a throwaway character in a cool suit of armor. George went out of his way, in what you call his "subplot" in...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Except no, it wasnt. George would put his stamp of approval on anyone writing him a check but even he claimed that none of the eu shit was ever canon. Most of the EU shit was such shitty fan fic that even fans and authors maintained lists of which books the fandom considered "canon" vs...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Yes. Did you read my post? Non-de-aged boba fett and a de-aged is going to be jarring as fuck. Even if its a flash back scene its still obvious one is 5 years older, the other is 20+ years older and 30 lbs fatter. From what we saw in mando and the beginning of this show i thought they were...

    You mean 60 to 90 seconds of screen time, and yes. Look. Favreau gave us iron man and laid the framework for the IW saga. I never watched the cartoons but I hear filoni redeemed the pre trilogy history even though he was restricted within the confines of the shitty prequel framework. They...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Interesting if true. Opens up a huge can of worms though with my biggest complaint about this show. Do they de-age him? They have to right? So how do we explain boba? He falls into the saarlacc a 30, 35 year old man and crawls out 6 hours later, 20 years older and 30 lbs fatter. Or since...

    The fuck he was. He was an action figure. And subplot in the prequels? That's a reach. He got a 5 minute origin story i guess Thank you. My point exactly. He was a cool action figure that little boys loved to play with. He was never more than a throwaway character in the films. He was...

    Look i get it. I was a child of the 80s. Transformers was my jam. My favorite character was skyfire. I wanted that toy my entire childhood. Never go it though, i grew up poor. My cousin had it though, played with it every chance i got. Thing is he only appeared in 1 episode, at the end he...

    Hey thanks for proving my point about boba being a toy first and foremost lol. I didn't realize his entire schtick was a fucking toy pyramid scheme. That makes the nerd rage even more hilarious lol He wasn't in star wars. At least not in the 70s. Not until 98? Or whenever Lucas did his...

    lol. Hate to burst your bubble but I wasn't even born yet in 1979. never had any star wars action figures. In fact, the first time I sat down and watched Star Wars I was a teenager, mid 90s maybe? I watched them all on VHS. All my posts in this thread boil down to this. There are 2 types...

    6 minutes of screen time? Fuck no, the mother fucker has like 90 seconds of screen time, and 75 of those seconds is him standing in the background fuzzy as shit cus the camera is focused on the main characters on screen. If he had 6 minutes of screen time they could of made him more than 1...

    what character? Here's every canon scene with Boba Fett in it: Here is the entirety of his dialogue: "as you wish" "He's no good to me dead" "what if he doesn't survive, he's worth a lot to me" "put captain solo in the cargo hold" 6 and a half minutes of scenes across 3 movies where he...

    he spends at most a few hours in the saarlacc, or however many hours of oxygen his suit has? He wakes up and is struggling to breath, he immediately steals some air from the dead storm trooper, then flamethrowers his way out. Jabbas barge was still smoldering when he climbs out, and as...

    Oh yeah. Duh. I do expect some kind of tie in though. Maybe they find some maguffin on tatooine and then in the obiwan show we find out obiwan had some part in it. Only so much a hermit can do chilling on tatooine for years

    didn't expect the entire episode to be mando but it definitely following the outline of this show so far. First introduction of the show was post credits(?) scene after mando season 2, boba and fennec kill bib fortuna and take over Jabba's throne room. That set the premise for the show. Each...

    did you grow reading a bunch of boba fett fanfic? (ie the books and shit which are non-canon) If so then yeah you'll probably hate the show since its nothing like that. If all you know about boba fett is the movies and season 2 of the mandalorian? Then this show is pretty much exactly what...

    ok but the point still stands, she didn't debut in music videos she debuted in the movie Kids which filmed when she was 15. Then she did broadway shit like Rent. Unless Jay-z had a younger version of this twerking in the background of his music videos? wait this movie came out before Jay-Z...

    FOH Shower Thoughts

    84% of fat (by weight) is exhaled as CO2. 16% becomes H2O and is excreted in sweat, urine, and shit. Clumps of fat or whatever that comes out in your shit and makes it float was never part of you inside your body, your body wasn't efficient enough to digest it.

    Dexter: New Blood

    seems like they intentionally retconned it to ketamine so that they could connect him to the BHB killings, as of course dexter would never have used the same highly controlled drug in bumblefuck NY and using it would obviously tie him to the BHB. Outside of that retardation I felt it was fine...

    Devastator was the easiest to solo just doing missions/main quest line. Back in the day it started to fall off in group expeditions because it had a hard time doing the DPs to beat the timer but with no timer tank away.

    I think not hating the show depends on how much expanded universe bullshit you know before hand. Sure they are incorporating some of that stuff, but for the most part all that shit is officially fanfic. If you never read any of the extended universe books (which I haven't) so you dont have...

    If you've never played cat furry intro its totally worth a playthrough. Its gives you an idea of how large they wanted the world to be. It is like Brad was trying to make vanguard competitive with eq, content wise as it was when vanguard released, not as it was when eq released. Trying to...
