The Incompetence is Strong
After the last episode, which I thought was great, we get this episode. Ashoka Tano sends Mando to the planet Tython to put baby Yoda on a rock with the hope that a Jedi might show up. So Mando does this, and the empire shows up along with Boba Fett and Ming Na Wen.
I didn't care for this episode much. Too much incompetence and nonsense:
- Mando never checks his ship for trackers, knowing that the empire is searching for him.
- Boba Fett and Ming show up so Boba can get his armor. Why follow him to Tython? Why not ask him for the armor on Tatooine? Or Navarre? And how the hell is he tracking Mando? Yet another tracker?
- The empire shows up with 2 troop transports and troops start pouring out like a clown car in the circus.
- The ships looks like they should hold about 10 troopers each.
- Instead, there is about 50 on each one.
- Not a single storm trooper can shoot or fight. All 100 get cut down by 3 people.
- Their armor is useless.
- Baby Yoda is protected by a powerful shield so Mando can't get him. Until the bad guys show up, then the shield disappears. lol.
- Moff Gideon blows up the Razorcrest in one shot, but never shoots at Slave 1.
- The "Dark" troopers fly down and grab baby Yoda, but none of the good guys shoot that at all. (Like maybe shoot them BEFORE they grab the baby).
I'm beginning to think I should start cheering for Moff Gideon as he is the only one who actually knows what he is doing.
