I don't recall if the Wookie Catamaran was ever shown in the water, though the hull shape certainly leads one to believe that water landings were part of the plan. I think this image is more fan art than canon but you wouldn't be the first to see the water relationship.


I'm not totally sure if they are ever shown in the water in movies or games? They seem to always be flying about.

I always thought the Droidekka felt appropriately scary. It seemed to be the one enemy that the Jedi tended to run from rather than face.

Mandalorian gives droids a more threatening feel. Maybe that results from the "normal" vs. droid match up. That might not be so scary for a Jedi, but for the other 99.999% of the galaxy they would be pretty worthy adversaries. Even Mando has his struggles with the Security droids in the prison break episode. He clearly has a means to handle them, but they aren't pushovers and don't get treated as non-threatening. And of course, the Droid army killing Mando's parents are given an ominous feel too. That scene has more of a massacre feel to it than simply overrunning some defenses or besting a local militia.

I agree on the Mandalorian making droids in general more threatening opponents. Very different from the comedy relief “uh oh” and “roger, roger” vibe of the fairly useless B1 Battle Droids which I think undermines the whole tone of the Star Wars universe. Such farcical antics are better suited to Mel Brooks satire.

Both in the movies....

And tv shows....

Season 2, Episode 1. Epic! Epic! Epic! I loved it and can not wait to see where it goes now. Please, please, please Disney, take Star Wars from Kathleen Kennedy and give it to Jon Favreau. Please!

Off to a very good start. Interesting choice to cast Olyphant as the small-town lawman. I also learned that Cobb Vanth was previously established to have Boba's armor in the Star Wars novel Aftermath. That makes me interested to go read the book.

For me only logical after Deadwood and Justified, i loved how he played more or less the same role in 3 enviroments. ;)
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de

 Really liked the first episode of the new series.

 Great watching the Childs ears flapping about and it's expressions.

I really liked it as well.
I wonder if Boba will be a help or an adversary.

Wasn’t Boba eaten by a sand worm? I thought only his armor survived… :?

Sand worms are on Dune. Boba fell into a Sarlac pit.

If it is not Boba it is a very old Clone Trooper. That would be cool as well.
