Topic	Finally started watching The Mandalorian (no spoilers!)
ParanoidObsessive 06/30/21 2:45:26 PM #43:	Kungfu Kenobi posted... He ~~just like climbed out turns out no one ever tried that before~~. Ehh. Just from what we see in RotJ, it seems like most people tossed into the pit are relatively normal. Han and Luke are just wearing regular clothes. Most victims would be prisoners tossed in by various Hutt crime lords, or otherwise pretty helpless. It makes sense that people like that aren't making it out. Boba's thrown in wearing full battle armor, fully equipped with most of his weapons, and with a jetpack. Even if its damaged, it would theoretically be more than possible for him to fix it well enough to blast out, or otherwise shoot/explode his way out. Or just cause so much damage inside that it spits/vomits him back out to protect itself. If the acid is weak enough that victims will be "slowly digested over a span of several thousand years", there's a good chance his armor renders him completely immune (and he likely has built-in life support systems that make surviving for a long period of time trivial). If anyone was ever going to survive it, he makes way more sense than most other possible options. And honesty, the idea that he eventually figures out a way to escape and survive has been canon in one form or another for like 25+ years now. Blightzkrieg posted... Unpopular opinion, I hate that they retconned him to ~~be a mandalorian~~ It's worth remembering that he's the only reason they exist as a concept at all. Their entire culture and backstory was invented solely to explain where his armor came from in the first place. Also, the idea that he's NOT a Mandalorian was only really a thing in the prequels/EU. Most of the pre-EU material explicitly considered him a Mandalorian - literally the last of the Mandalorians. It was implied most of their race died during the Clone Wars, fighting against the Jedi. The Marvel comics in the 1980s had a few stories revolving around that idea. It wasn't until they rebooted the entire continuity of spin-off media and established the "official" EU in 1991 that they changed his backstory, and then Lucas kind of ruined him as a character in the prequels anyway. Disney wiping the entire EU wasn't the first time continuity was completely reset for Star Wars. It's possible it won't be the last, either. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:955604823] in Finally st...
