The action was great and not regurgitated from previous Star Wars films. Notably the use of the Dark Troopers.
Negatives (the plot holes I was speaking about):
- 1 OK did the crew on the bridge know that the savior of the universe was in their midst? Don't you think Mando would want to know a little more about who this Jedi was that he was handing over the kid to? At least a phone # so he can check in once in a while to see how school is coming a long? Seems to simple to just turn over this kid that was such a big deal and just shed a tear then move on.
- 2 Don't you think Mando should have also mention to the Jedi that there is this container filled with Grogu's blood hiding somewhere on board that Gideon wanted so bad? I get that this is how we get Snoke and to keep the JJ Abrahams story line working it needs to not come out but it seems too simple to just forget telling Luke about it.
- 3 Smaller point but shouldn't have Bo Katan told Mando about the fine print of the dark saber deal before they bordered the ship?
Great talking points.
1) Adding pragmatism: just because WE got to see Luke do his stuff through 6 movies, doesn't mean every person on every backwater everywhere, did. Have they ever shown mass media in the lore? I honestly do not recall any. Perfectly believalbe for me that people would not know who these Jedi are. But how many parents have just handed their babies over to Jedi? All of them. The kid vouched for Luke and that's what Jin went with. He was very much about his quest and sacrifice. Not handing over the kid would have taken the sense out of 2 seasons.
2) Hand over your kid to someone, what's on your mind? . One of those "of f, I forgot to tell him..." Yeah he should have mentioned it. Luke perhaps should have sensed it. But they didn't and at least the first is normal. They probably could have taken a moment of screen time to give a reason it wasn't detectable but that wouldn't make sense, since there weren't supposed to be any Jedi, why try to hide it from them? So yeah, that could be a plot hole. I wonder if it's green?
3) People don't generally think that way in my experience. As you (and other reviews I've read) did in subject #1, people assume others know what they know. It's natural. It's the genius thought that does otherwise. So not telling him I think perfectly in character, whether that was actually an intentional plot point or not.
We don't go through life without our "oh " moments, things we realize after it's too late, was obvious we should have done.
