ajsnaves January 15 Share January 15 Was that Matt Damon locking his S-Foils into attack position? I watched on my iPad, so I really couldn’t get a good look. I guess the New Republic is about to get a large cash infusion. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8554845
Mr. R0b0t January 15 Share January 15 I'm still not quite sure where on the timelines we are, but I kinda wanted to see the pirates disposed of and a reveal at the end that it was Thrawn that did the disposing. All-in-all a damned delightful season of TV that somehow seems to be flying under the radar. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8554849

thuganomics85 Wednesday at 07:10 AM Share Wednesday at 07:10 AM Pretty good finale, although I guess they are banking/hoping to continue this series, since there are still a lot of questions to be answered. A little worried since the lack of buzz might mean it doesn't have huge viewership, but hopefully there is enough to at least give it another season to wrap up. If we do come back, I certainly hope we delve more into Jod's past and how he became who he was. Basically confirms he was trained by some kind of Jedi, but it sounded like it was kind of off the books more or less, and she/the Master did die in from of him after Order 66. Either way, he was an interesting antagonist here. So menacing and could certainly say and do horrible things, but there was always a sense he was holding himself back from crossing certain lines. Hell, he even seemed legitimately upset over the fake-out death with KB. Certainly helps that Jude Law gave it more than 100% here. Couldn't tell if any of the X-Wing pilots were cameos since that is usually what the Disney+ Star Wars series have done in the past. Glad they worked back Kh'ymm into things. SM 33 continues to be clutch: even if he's currently carrying his severed droid head around! At Attin sacrificing its shield at the end is certainly an interesting wrinkle. Along with the reveal that The Supervisor was an automation droid the entire time and is now taken out of commission. The planet is in for some interesting times! Hope this series comes back. Law and the younger cast playing the kids all did great jobs, and it was a fun little adventure. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8554956

I love the backstory, but I'm not sure I totally understand it. Could someone correct me if I am wrong? My understanding: Jod was a street kid, and found as well as trained by a Jedi who was on the run post Order 66. She was eventually found and killed in front of him. 11 hours ago, thuganomics85 said: So menacing and could certainly say and do horrible things, but there was always a sense he was holding himself back from crossing certain lines.

It seemed like no matter what, there was a line he was not willing to cross. He would not physically harm the children. He would threaten them and come close, but it's as if there was something stopping him from actually going too far. I'm disappointed Wim didn't get his big hero moment. I strongly believe he is the one who should have deactivated the barrier instead of the adults. I would love another season, if it's like this one. It was great having another show that didn't require tons of pre-existing knowledge or the need to watch other series in order to understand what was happening. Random easter eggs are fine as long as they do not have a significant impact on the plot, but assuming the audience is familiar with absolutely everything in the Star Wars universe is not okay with me. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8555209

Ilovepie Wednesday at 08:02 PM Share Wednesday at 08:02 PM I really enjoyed this series, especially compared to the last few D+ Star Wars shows. It was refreshing to have something completely different tonally - the last few have felt kind of stale. The uniqueness of this alone makes it worthwhile for me. The only thing I found disappointing was that it felt like too much was crammed into this episode, and too much was left unresolved with Jod. The reveal that he was raised by a Jedi who was killed seemed was just crammed in and anti-climactic. And what happened to him after "the real good guys" showed up? Did he die? Did he escape? I would love a second season, but I'm not sure Disney is willing to invest in these streaming shows more than one season unless they have the prestige of Andor or the popularity of a Mandalorian (and marketing opportunities, let's be honest). While I think this one was better received than Acolyte, I doubt it's done well enough to warrant another season. Bummer. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8555297

She was eventually found and killed in front of him. That was how I understood it, too. As much as I enjoyed this series and as much as I want to see what's in store for At-Attin, I'm not sure how they could do a second season and have it be at all the same show. This was mostly an adventure series about kids, but that was a once-in-a-childhood adventure. These kids are unlikely to have yet another planet-hopping adventure that sends them up against pirates. Any follow-up would be more about rebuilding the society and integrating At-Attin into the New Republic, maybe dealing with Jod in the aftermath. The best I can imagine is that some of the other series set in this time period might visit this planet so we could get a sense of what's going on there. I could see Hera having to go there as part of the rebuilding effort, and since she has a kid that would be a reason to bring in the kids. I'm not sure things would have gone as well as Jod would have liked even if he'd succeeded just because of basic economics, since flooding the market with those credits would lower their value. That money would be about the equivalent of Spanish doubloons for us. They're not really useful as currency because the government that issued them no longer exists, but they have a value beyond the value of the gold/silver they're made of because they're a historic relic. If you found a small amount of them, you could sell them to collectors or museums for a lot of money or get someone who recognized their value to take them as payment. But if it turned out that someone was still making doubloons with the same equipment used for the original ones, they'd be less valuable. They'd be "fake" for museum/collection purposes, so they'd really only be worth whatever raw material was used to make them, so there would be no point in making the citizens keep making credits. Jod might as well just take all the gold/gold-pressed latinum/whatever material they're made of without bothering to mint more cash. Since we're dealing with a whole galaxy, he and the pirates might be able to spend a fair amount before someone noticed that the Republic credits were too new or that there were suddenly a lot of them on the market, which would make them less valuable, but that would likely happen eventually, since I doubt the pirates would show much restraint. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8555377

Kel Varnsen Thursday at 12:02 AM Share Thursday at 12:02 AM That was a hell of a lot of fun. I wish more Star Wars shows and more shows in general could be action packed like that. The hover bike chase was amazing and "trust KB" should be like the tagline for the show. Fern's speech about good people everywhere they went was also really well done. She is a talented actress. My only wish was that the previously recap didn't show the Owl lady, since you knew right away she would help. 5 hours ago, Sarah 103 said: I'm disappointed Wim didn't get his big hero moment. I strongly believe he is the one who should have deactivated the barrier instead of the adults. That was the only thing missing for me. When they were fighting over the barrier lever it would have been awesome if Wim had used the force to pull it. Hoping we get a season 2. It could be as simple as the parents exploring the galaxy with their kids. I mean if they can do Home Alone twice with the same kid why not two adventures with these kids. Not to mention it seems like the obvious trope for this type of story would be to have a 2 weeks later scene at the end. But they didn't. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8555484
tennisgurl Friday at 04:35 PM Share Friday at 04:35 PM I really enjoyed this show, it was so cute and fun while also having real stakes and drama. The kid actors were all really good and Jude Law was a great, even complex antagonist. I am not sure what a second season would look like, maybe exploring how At Attin functions now that its open to the greater galaxy, but if this is it I enjoyed it as a really enjoyable one off story of the Star Wars universe. I heard that is hasn't had great numbers, probably due to various factors like Star Wars fatigue, not a ton of marketing, and being seen as a "kids show" by some fans who prefer SW when its more dramatic, but hopefully good word of mouth gets people to check it out now that they can watch the whole season. Jod's plan to take over At Attin has some real structural flaws, it seems like the smarter call would have been to take all the credits he could and run, but his greed probably made it hard for him to stop while he was ahead. His backstory was really interesting, it lines up with where I think we are in the time line, being only partially trained on the downlow by an Order 66 survivor, who he saw being murdered as a kid, certainly explains a lot about him. While he did certainly turn out to be a bad guy, he did seem to develop some actual fondness for the kids, not physically hurting or even killing them when he easily could have without hurting his plans, and he even seemed upset when it seemed like KB had died. He's definitely a villain, but there is a bit more to him than just wanting money and control. Loved seeing the owl lady back again, and seeing the X-Wing pilots get a win. If I had any complaints, it would mostly be that I wish we had some longer episodes and maybe at least one more to wrap things up and finish the kids arcs, but that is a pretty minor thing. I overall really liked the show and would happily love to see these characters again. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8557102

I also hope enough people eventually watch this for it to get a second season. I found it way more enjoyable than pretty much any of the other live action star wars shows (except probably Andor and the first season of Mandalorian). It was way better than Ahsoka though and I am happy that there was zero cross over with those Favreau/Filoni shows. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8557129

I liked Wim and Fern inspiring their parents to be courageous. Loved seeing B-Wings in action and using their laser function from video games! I like that the New Republic was seen in a positive light for once. They lasted a decade longer than the Empire. It wasn't a total failure! I for one want another season. They shot this season 2 years ago so if they start filming another one this year it will be like Chamber of Secrets skipping over to Goblet of Fire in terms of the kids appearances!

Speaking of the fighters the only other thing that I thought should have been different (besides Wim using the force) was that when the fighters showed up instead of swooping in to save the day they should have used the come out of hyperspace effect where they appear out of nowhere. Because I love that visual and the associated sound effect. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151434-s01e08-the-real-good-guys/#findComment-8559623
