IDIOTS. JUST MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I just want everyone to know that I was fucking CACKLING when Din brings Grogu to train and the judge is like “dude that’s a fucking baby” and then Din goes “I’m his ward” and the judge is just like “oh okay that’s chill then let this baby fight” AS IF THE FACT THAT HIS GUARDIAN IS PRESENT MAKES IT OKAY

THIS SCENE WAS SO GOOD FOR HER CHARACTERIZATION. “I wish I was good at something other than war.” was echoing through my head the entire time, because that’s what’s going on with Bo-Katan here, that for so very long now, she’s been alone, she’s fucked it all up, she doesn’t know how to lead, everyone has abandoned her and she was adrift. She was prepared to go off into the dark to eat her food like all the other cover members, she’s been so beaten down by all her losses.  Not just Mandalore over and over and over again, but her home on Kalevala now, too.  Everyone who was once loyal to her is gone. But then this group of Mandalorians welcomes her with open arms and pats on the back.  Bo-Katan, who hasn’t felt comraderie with other Mandalorians in so long desperately yearning for that in some corner of her heart, no matter how hard she tries to pretend it’s over. And then.  She’s the leader of the war party.  She has the honor of sitting by the fire to eat her food.  She’s alone in the shot, but they’re giving her something she has wanted all her life–to be good at something that helps people. She was the one who took off after Ragnar, she was the one who knew how to climb the cliff face, she was the one who was leading the party, this party that brought back a child safe and sound. Everything about this is a knife slipping under Bo-Katan’s armor to slice her open, to expose that part of her that has wanted all her life to be good at something that saves people and protects them.  Even in her most misguided moments (YOU JOINED A TERRORIST GROUP, BO) that’s what she wanted. And now it feels like maybe she might be getting it.  She can help because she’s good at fighting, good at war, and these Mandalorians will thank her for it. I don’t know if Bo-Katan is truly going to convert to the covert’s ways, she’s certainly on a mythic journey in her character arc/in her heart, the looming specter of the Mythosaur that she saw is one more thing that’s pulling her towards something more mystical and religious, but I love that I can see exactly why she’s being pulled there. How long has she been feeling like a failure and like she’s done more harm than good?  How can she not be lured in by being able to finally, finally use her skills at war to save someone and be welcomed for it?

MEETING / GOODBYE

[derhakott]

can i point this out?

baby stolas had a book on botany, which is the scientific study of plants and herbs, he even gets excited and goes on a small tangent about plants before blitzo cuts him off, which tells us he's really interested in them.

and what do we see stolas growing up with?

his pet, carnivorous, plant.

we even see that compared to when it was under paimon's rule, in the present the mansion is filled with plants.

it's a small detail, but stolas really loves nature, doesn't he?

Thirteen border guards, representing the entirety of the Ukrainian military presence on the island, were killed during the battle after refusing to surrender.

Alongside Moskva, a patrol ship, Vasily Bykov, were involved in the attack, using their deck guns.

DIN DJARIN and BOBA FETT in THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT | Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor

gotta say one of the funniest characterisation choices they made for boba fett is making him really really poetic. “the arid sands of tatooine will once again FLOURISH with FLOWERED FIELDS, FERTILISED with the bodies of your dead.” this king had the pen for 10 seconds and decided to make space byron roll in his grave
