    The AT ST in this episode was a leftover from a garrison, sold off to mercenaries by some aspiring former Imperial. In this period there are still a lot of leftover Imperials about, known in the EU as the Remnant; mostly garrisons and commanders that have devolved into warlords; paying their men by selling off weapons and equipment. They're mostly relegated to the Outer Rim planets however.

    When the Empire fell, its soldiers and vehicles didn't just disappear. So we see stormtroopers working as mercenaries, and random vehicles being used by local groups. I don't know any more than you do at this point, but the appearance of these remnants doesn't necessarily imply any actual Imperial activity behind them.

    • @ksharbaugh2
      @ksharbaugh2 2 роки тому

      Basically, the outcome of any largescale conflict... the soldiers get sent home to their peace-time jobs but all that mass-produced equipment they were carrying gets left behind. After WWI, the US sold off its enormous stockpile of tommy guns (aka "trench-sweepers") to anyone with a handful of green... that's why criminal gangs from Chicago to Shanghai had them during the 20s and 30s.
      So you've got "sci-fi Al Capones" running around the galaxy with as much abandoned Imperial hardware as they could steal before the New Republic could lock it down.

      @M 40They use "standard" measures of time based on Coruscant, which is similar to Earth (368 days in the old canon, 365 days in the new) with days, hours, minutes, etc. the same standard. The galaxy generally keeps a Galactic Standard Time based on this for unifying communication, travel, etc.

      @dhorn4005 4 роки тому +10

      I realised while back ago that any good scy-fy or fantasy series eventually ends up doing a 7- Samurai re-tell... In Firefly,, some space cowboys deffend a brothel from a local mob; in Clone Wars some jedi and bounty hunters defend some colonials from space pirates; in Merlin, young prince Arthur, lady Morgana and Merlin defend a village from raiders... it's a concept that can be translated to so many media that easilly can look hugelly different... For example; some dwarfs that deffend a hobbit village from a goblin attack could be neat XDD
      But the most bizarre and yet still good re-telling must be "A bug's tale"; where a bunch of errant big bugs defend an ant colony from grasshoper predators... but it's still basically the same story XDD

Not just the "puppet", but everything they did in this series was amazing and, in at least one particular aspect, never done before and groundbreaking.
    Also, Gina did a lot of her own stunts, because of course she did!
    Oh, and there's a different director for every episode, including the main actress from Jurassic World and the director of Thor: Ragnarok, Tiaka Watiti.
    The AT-ST in this episode is to show that the empire is dead, so much so that random gangs can pillage and steal stuff like the AT-ST. You'll notice that the storm troopers we've seen so far are kind of dirty an haven't maintained their armor well. But...your instincts aren't wrong.

    "For 900 years have I trained the Jedi". Yoda did not just live 900 years. That was how long he was a trainer. If similarly he were still a baby at 50, then probably Yoda was well over 1,000 years old.
    Excellent series Nat.

And we do know Baby Yoda’s gender, the doctor called him “he” a couple times last episode. Hope I didn’t come off ass the “well actually guy 🤓” lol see you on the next one. Stay safe.

    Oh, the Imperial remnants are still around (it's only been about five years since the Emperor's death). Likely fractioned off into various warlords vying for power and Imperial equipment falling into mercenary hands and all.

    Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are going to save the Star Wars Franchise. They are amazing storytellers and weavers of threads. There is so many connections to other stories within Star Wars in every single one of these episodes. I would not put it past either of those men to include characters from the past and future in these episodes. For instance, the matron of the village does has some back story, but we may not be introduced to it until season 2 or 3 of the Mandalorian. It would be interesting if she turned out to be one of the Martez sisters from season 7 of the Clone Wars series. Having Trace or Rafa Martez show up could be an interesting way to introduce another Clone Wars character, and would explain how one is fairly gun proficient. Dave and Jon love doing stuff like that. Just a Theory.

    A few of your subscribers have commented on one of the influencers of The Mandalorian, namely the Akira Kurosawa film Seven Samurai. This is a great film, one of my very favorites and I'd like time suggest this for one of your watches. Full disclosure! It's black and white, over three hours long and it is subtitled.
    But! It is an absolute classic! And all the best films have samurai in them. Or pirates.

    Dropping a line on this Friday night to say I have really been enjoying your videos and the community building up around it. It really is a highlight to my week being able to check out a video here and there. Heck, it has even inspired me to finally get to uploading a video or two as well (had this account for years and barely used it).
    Anyways, as usual I loved this video (I would just like to see them done as double features since the episodes of Mando are a bit short sometimes, but that is because I am a bid greedy) :)
    It is always great to see someone's reaction and hear their review when they are a newcomer. It reminds me of all the things I liked about the content and how it made me feel when watching it for the first time
    Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next one!

    Just a health tip heads up Nat:
    Diet coke buggered my uncle up, and I developed epilepsy after a long habit of lots of diet coke myself. Maybe coincidence, but get this :
    coke now disguises the sweetener name (formerly labelled Aspartame on the actual label) as "sweeteners (950)(951)(952)" etc. A bit bloody shady and suspect!
    Just want you in good nick.
    Plain coke is sweet yes, but sugar is better than Aspartame!
    Or, if you can find it, I looked around and there is a WAY BETTER sweetener from a natural source called Stevia (also tagged "sweetener (960)") - worth looking into.
    It's in my Lipton Iced Teas and does a great job!
    Your choice all up, just be careful. ☺

It's a french movie so don't know if you'll find it or if you'd prefer to see it dubbed in english but anyhow the title is "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain", think the title im english is "Amelie". It's a whimsical, very original french comedy with a great soundtrack. I think you'd like it alot.

    Five years after the fall of the empire, there are some groups of them left, but this was a case of Imperial ordonance being taken over by a local gang, no affiliation.
    Sadly (and luckily, depends) there is a lot of information that you have to look for in other mediums than the movies, if you dig deeper there is so many stories and so much to learn.
