@FullMetalAlcoholist, Agreed, they took the episode last week from a 17 year old game. That's next level nerding.
-
@DamienD, wotwotwot, please explain further my liege.
-
@twopotatoes, the Krayt Dragon and the mission to kill it is from KOTOR. They even referenced the pearl which was the quest item you needed to collect.
-
@DamienD, you know i kept wondering what the Tusken was so happy to pull out, I was expecting another reference in a follow up episode. Which console was it played on?
-
@DamienD, only if you want to give it to the Tuskens. I keep it for my saber ;) I love KotOR, and still play it
-
@twopotatoes, easiest to play on pc now. Just go to gog.com.
-
@Naberrie, how is it used for your saber? Is a Kyber crystal inside the pearl or does it have something to do with the diatium power cell? Possibly just the housing of the saber itself?
-
@twopotatoes, in KOTOR a saber has 3 components that affect stats. (Lens, Crystal, Power Cell) The pearl can be used as a crystal and actually has some of the best stats.
-
@DamienD, ahhh makes me think of Star Wars galaxies. Good times
-
@theduuuude, Galaxies has a fan server going. Games from the 90's and early 00's will always be the best. They had the graphics to entertain and the stories to immerse.
-
@FullMetalAlcoholist, Plus all the awesome cameos
-
@twopotatoes, great question! In KotOR 1, a saber can have 3 crystals: 1 for the color, and 2 to focus and modify the blade. The Krayt Dragon Pearl falls into the latter category, enhancing the saber. Specifically, the Pearl gives +3 attack and +2 energy damage
-
@twopotatoes, personally, I’ve played it on XBOX, PC, and Mac (it’s on steam). It’s also available on the iPhone, but I haven’t tried that

I hate gay people
-
@mypenisissmallbut, I don't.
-
@reaIDonaIdTrump, oh damn i dont really I just wanted to see someone reply with my new username
-
@mypenisissmallbut, ah, ok understandable, you wanted your username followed by 'i like gay people!' Funny.

(Apparently) unpopular opinion: I thought episode 1 of season 2 sucked so badly I couldn’t even finish it. I’m hoping episode 2 is better. The Krayt ‘dragon’ was just really stupidly written and directed. Ripping off KotOR, honestly what were they thinking?
-
@I Are Lebo, I thought it was nice of them to give a nod to my favorite SW game. It made a lot of us in the KotOR community really happy
-
@Naberrie, I would’ve been happier if their portrayal of the Krayt dragon was better than ‘giant cgi head that comes randomly out of the ground’. They turned a dragon into a friggin’ Zelda mini boss. Also, did you notice that the only casualties of that fight were all Tuscan Raiders? Not one human bought it that whole battle.
-
@I Are Lebo, I agree, the Krayt dragon being just a head wasn’t as cool as showing its full body. It reminded me a lot of the Sand Burrower from the Jedi Outcast: Jedi Academy game. And no, I didn’t notice that. I wonder why they didn’t kill off any of the townspeople
-
@Naberrie, because human centric writers? The Sand People got totally fücked over by that whole episode. From individuals dying as bait and it being played off as a joke, to dozens of their members being liquified by acid spray while their allies didn’t give a shït, The Mandalorian did them dirty. The second episode wasn’t any better, with Mando suddenly being a chatterbox that won’t shut up while babbling to a frog woman who can’t speak common, all the while that little yoda shït keeps eating her eggs that are supposedly her species’ last hope against extinction. I just loved how Mando, the supposed professional, couldn’t even be bothered to secure the eggs against the child. He scolded the thing like a bad dog owner and the show played it off for laughs. If episode 3 of season 2 is as bad as 1 and 2 have been, I’m giving up on The Mandalorian. They’ve clearly been cheaping out on the writing and directing. I’m super disappointed.

Who?
-
@Cave Dweller, the actor who plays the mandalorian
-
@downwitsickness, again, who? The debutante in the metal suit no one should ever see?
-
@Cave Dweller, yes
Lest we forget the absolutely amazing team of directors over the series. I'm so glad they hired people invested (some full blown star wars nerds) in the universe.
