That seems to have limits though, taming a mythosaur seems a little out of any Jedi's league.
Otherwise wouldn't Luke just 'lmao peace out' the Rancor?
I found most of the episode with the exception of the ending post-Climatic Battle to be rather disappointing and underwhelming. I did find the scenes with Armorer and Bo Katan and the big future plotline pretty interesting though. Personally I guess I just wish they did more to setup this whole affair on Navarro and had a less super fail foe besides Spinach The Hutt and his merry band of pirates.
It set up the return of you know as well as making it obvious where Bo will be the rest of the season.
Yeah this Battle was better than the one in the finale of The Book of Boba Fett which isn't saying much in my opinion, but I will say it was set up and shot pretty well. I liked the effects and mechanics of it all and the like.
It's just that yes, the Space Pirates were terrible antagonists and when they got the "drop" on the Mandalorians in the Town Center I was thinking that no, this wouldn't happen. The Pirates are too shit and the Mandalorians too good. Especially since the Mandalorians have like mini rocket launchers, big rocket launchers, jet packs and the like, the idea of them being "suppressed" or "pinned down" in an alleyway or by a single blaster cannon just doesn't wash with me. Might be nitpicking but it did impact my enjoyment of the Battle. I just want better fight choreography and some better tactics shown I guess. It doesn't have to be perfect of course. Just bettererererer.
The other thing was Greef Karga apparently having no actual plan for a jankyass Pirate Cruiser showing up over Navarro beyond begging the New Republic for help. The man was apparently a Guild Master of mercenaries/bounty hunters but there's apparently no real force of shooters or fighters or organized defenses over Navarro. Plus the evacuation plan was to flee to the Lava Flats instead of the already well known sewer/culvert system that resides below the city. I was actually assuming that is where they were going to evacuate to and ask the Mandalorians for assistance but... that was not the case. Instead we had the Rebel X-Wing pilot do his thing, which was fine, but again, feel it could've been better.
I might've just stretched out the whole thing to two episodes to be honest. And made the Pirates not seem so lolcompetent or whatever.
They stuck the ending though with Bo Katan and the Armorer and the whole rising plot of uniting the Clans.
I was also wondering if after asking Bo Katan to take off her helmet if the Armorer was going to do something similar for some made up reason. But that didn't happen. The Armorer didn't even say "You got a purty mouth," or anything.

Gotta agree with @Husky_Khan . the pirate fight was fun to watch but otherwise kind of retarded.
Two snubfighters and a handful of ground forces up against a cruiser? Maybe if they had the force but they don't.
Why didn't the pirate cruiser just obliterate the mandalorian ground forces with it's belly cannons? Etc.

Because they didn't want to kill thier own guys duh.
The belly-cannons aren't THAT powerful, and being scummy space pirates it would not surprise me if they are tolerating of 'collateral damage' to save their own skins.
They seem to not want mutiny on thier hands so they seem to actually care for each other.
Except thag LT
Just saw on the Twitter that Lizzo is apparently guest starring in the latest episode of 'The Mandalorian.' Haven't seen the episode yet, but... sounds painful already.
Maybe Tarkin was Right.

Who or what is "Lizzo"?
I want you to know that based on the name, I'm imagining a talking lizard. I'm going to be very disappointed if it isn't that.

Well Lizzo is less of a who and more of a 'what'...
But, in a nutshell, an obese 'celebrity'.
Well people keep bringing up her fatness and while that is her most uhhh recognizable trait, I just find her annoying. I could care less about her being a fat talented singer. There's lots of fat talented singers and other performing artists out there. Her obesity as a singular issue means almost nothing to me.
She's a big... errr popular rap artist and pop musician who I just find to be extremely overbearing, overcompensating, and incredibly insecure and the like which makes her incredibly annoying. I don't even follow or listen or have any interest in the generic music she churns out but I keep hearing about her due to a mild interest in rap and pop music and she keeps coming up and everytime she's whining about something or just being so obnoxious as to be cringe and/or having people fawn over her for nebulous reasons.
Seeing her pop up in Star Wars as a guest star with some actual presence in the episode apparently as opposed to a more appropriate brief cameo just makes me automatically roll my eyes. I can just assume whatever scene she's in will be just as obnoxiously cringe as she is.
With all that said I do find her fashion sense pretty abysmal as well. It's super flamboyant 'bougie' style which is basically a Black term for dressing loudly and lavishly and... yes often to obnoxious extremes. And bougie fashion is pretty often associated with very large African American women which isn't a positive IMHO. It's probably reasonable to assume whatever she's wearing on Star Wars could likely be what she wears normally in public.

Ah. Lizzo the Hutt!
That checks out.
So in other worlds she was keeping with the traditons of 18th Century Royalty.
Lizzo is a no-talent-ass-clown.
