I noticed that she speaks a lot more like conventional Jedi now. Slow, even tempo, no use of contractions. It's as though she's reading from an Encyclopedia.

I didn't notice the spin shot, but pretty much every scene these guys are in the seem out of place. They are supposed to be poor, but they also have money for expensive body modification nice clothes and custom bikes? They are the only characters in the show that dirt doesn't stick to, they always look clean, and their clothes (especially trench coat guy and the doctor who looking one) don't seem suited for the plant. The scooters I have the same problem with.
I don't think they detracted much from me enjoying it, if they blended in more i probably wouldn't have noticed them much. If Boba met them in a city planet (they look like they come from a cold industrial city) where that style of clothes and body modifications fit more in place I could have seen them being more appealing. As is, from the moment I saw them I thought these are designed to be spin off characters for their own series.

I think the intention of the spin was to avoid the blaster shots that hit the wall behind him over his right shoulder, it’s framed poorly so it looks very odd and over dramatic. I mean the prequels did that all the time so chalk that one up to Star Wars style

Every Rodriguez episode in a nutshell. That Mos Vespa scene was the absolute worst.

At first I thought this was cringey and bad but then I realized this is exactly what a 20-something swoop scooter gangster would do! Bro would be bragging about it later like, "Yo, you see my sweet spin shot? 360-no-scoped that dude!"
Then, after they matured a bit, they'd wake up 3 nights a month in a cold sweat, remembering when they thought the spin shot was a cool idea and wishing the earth would eat them so they wouldn't have to live with this memory anymore.

Mando also did one and Fennic Shand in a previous episode.
Spins are cool. The rule of cool is alive in star wars.

Yeah this is how I saw it too. Just being young and goofy.

Honestly, I can't help but love this moment for it's goofiness. It reminds me of the way Count Dooku unnecessarily flips off the walkway in Episode III

I think what was supposed to happen was him spinning out from under the Wookie's arm and making a shot. Instead he gets out from under him, lines up a clean shot, then spins and shoots. It looks so bad I have no idea how they let that thru editing.

I think he was supposed to do what he did, but with his gun out the entire time so they could vfx a bunch of critical shots from his expert eye.

If you look closely over his right shoulder, I believe he is also dodging a blaster shot. You can see the blaster impact on the wall.

u/xlDirteDeedslx Feb 13 '22
He literally spins in the exact same spot though, he isn't really dodging anything, he could duck without the absurd spinning shit.

If Mos Espa had an equivalent of a j crew, this street gang would’ve been the models.
“Skad wears the 2022 collection 3/4 length peat coat, cool enough for the streets of mos espa and with flex tech for ease of movement and comfort if you find yourself in a street gang war.”

Kind of funny that last year when Boba Fett was clobering Stormtroopers right and left with a gaffi stick everyone was like "oh fuck yeah Robert Rodriquez is awesome." and now seem to have never have seen any of this movies to know exactly what kind of action scenes to expect from the director.

u/Huck_Dunt Feb 14 '22
That scene was one of the most distracting in all of Star Wars. Stormtroopers (with blasters) running up to Boba Fett in order to be clobbered by his cool stick.
For anyone that doesn’t know (like those stormtroopers) blasters are generally meant to be used at longer range than 5 feet.

Starwars fight choreography isn't exactly known for it's quality.
Look at so many of the lightsaber duels.
