Blasters in star wars use gas cartridges and energy power packs as ammunition. They're usually carrying a combination of those.

Yeah I've seen that in the video game versions, but you never really seem them using it in the movies or shows that I can recall.

Yeah I've never seen it really mentioned in shows much either. I remember Mando reloading cartridges into his "sniper rifle" at some point, though.

And Thrawn has some hand in the Pykes?
i think it is pretty clear that we'll get a reveal that someone else has been behind the Pykes. we just know so little about them so far, i think it's because they're saving it for the finale.

i'm less sure as to "who" the reveal will be. i actually think it's more likely to be someone else, other than Thrawn, just to give Ahsoka's show its own plot line.
If they were to drop Thrawn down to being some type of spice runner, it'll be the biggest waste of a villain in a long time.
Thrawn will be running spice but the spice will be needed to help with Palpatine's cloning crap.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Bowcasters actually fire a projectile and require an energy pack. Chewy needed those pouches.

Haha, that would kill ALL hope I had for star wars. They already had to completely dedicate episode 9 to making sense of the garbage they did in episode 8. For example, they had to bring back the ultra-villain, Palpatine, and make Snoke a nobody to justify just wasting his character.

Star Wars need to, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to," to quote Kylo. The sequel trilogy happened, you salvaged what you could after episode 8, now just move away from that trilogy completely.

I did not mean to try and tie Thrawn to the spice running.

I think if anything the spice running is a cover for Thrawn working his Imp stuff. Maybe he isn't involved but using them as a screen for whatever he is doing, and if they go down there is a reveal that he is around.

Super high quality. This really is a legit awesome poster...


Only reason to put out a poster like this is because they've got massive surprises in the final episode that they are going to drop on us in T-minus 9 hours and change.

Who's staying up to watch?

I've never done it live. (Live on the east coast.)

I'm considering going to bed earlier than usual and setting an alarm for 3 am, but I'm almost certain I won't be able to sleep afterwards and will be absolutely worthless tomorrow.

I never dreamed I'd say this, but I am promoting TC above you in Star Wars super fandom for the next 24 hours on my master list of Star Wars TexAgs fans.

Agreed 100%. That said, a decent portion of The Mandalorian is devoted to the rise of The First Order, as Favreau and Filoni have said. So how do they simultaneously dedicate a portion of the show to building toward something we - and probably even they - want to ignore? Granted, again, TFA is 25 years from now in-universe, so there's plenty of uncharted territory. But all the midi-chlorian/clone stuff we've seen with The First Order and Grogu already feels like it's hinting at attempts to resurrect Palapatine/create Snoke, etc.

Yep. 'Someone else' could be Qi'ra..? She was a Lieutenant to Darth Maul of Crimson Dawn and eventually took over CD's leadership ... maybe CD took over the Pykes as a subsidiary and is looking to push in on the Hutt Territory in Janna's absence?

They are trying to redeem the flaming trash bag that was episode 9. but it can only go so far. They made a decent stab at adding some logic with the stuff they put in Mando season 2, but probably best to call that a win and move on.

Lots of room to tie into interesting stuff from the animated shows without wasting a lot of screen time trying to fix the last movie.

I think one time a SW or Marvel episode dropped like 10 minutes early, probably on accident, but that was about it. I can't imagine them doing a planned/official, hours-early release.

I'm honestly expecting this to end on a not-so-positive note….where we get a reveal of the villain behind it all in an "oh crap" moment and we're left with a cliffhanger for Mando S3…..and maybe it's not that specifically but with this originally being announced as an unofficial Mando S-2.5 I don't think we get a typical nice ending.

Very true! And I was frustrated that they had to take such an amazing show and use it to set up the Palpatine resurrection. I thought they did a great job of it, and I thought episode 9 was excellent, given the hole star wars was in after 8.

9 sucked. It's always a toss up to me which Star Wars movie is the worst…..9 or 2
