He's trawlin. The original trilogy has vehicles that don't hover. If Walkers get a pass so does the thing in the latest episode IMO

I dunno man.

If you're transporting something so unstable a bump could blow it up maybe investing in a hover vehicle would be prudent.

That reference might be too old for people here.

Don't forget, "flying" is so expensive as to not be realistic. I mean, only a moisture farmer on a super wealthy planet like Tatooine could afford something as rare, expensive, and uber sophisticated, as a repulsorlift landspeeder.

Only a truly wealthy slave podracer, or successful crime lords ike Jabbam could afford repulsorlift vehicles.

[Note that this ^^^ barge is sufficiently sized to transport Rhydonium]

220


250


[or to be the "train" engine to pull many smaller "cars"]

And technologically advanced races like the Verpine

500


used them to move huge asteroids around.

There's just no way the Empire could afford it!

Besides, they probably weren't even aware of the technology! I mean, it's not like they used repulsorcraft at other bases.... oh wait.... the Moff Gideon led Imperial base on Nevarro had some, like the Trexler Marauder that Carl and Gina used to escape just a few episodes ago....

500


And even IF they could afford them, they require years of training to even operate!

But yeah, nothing to see here! No plot holes and certainly it's NOT OK for anyone to question ANYTHING!

[I'll just add my opinion that Gina is an absolute SHIT actress. Like slightly above middle schooler level - think mediocre high school level - "actress".]

lol at all those hover crafts that couldn't handle the load.

The fallacy in your argument is assuming that their ground transport method has been a problem that needed to be solved prior to this episode. There's a good half a dozen things about this that tell us that it wasn't a prior problem the level of which needed to be fixed.
 
Hovercraft may add stability vertically but seem less stable on the other planes. In an environment where pirating and sabotage are expected, it could be a calculated tradeoff when coupled with the added weight of an armored vehicle.

Just coming up with shit here.
 
In this universe they have really slow "walkers" that can be stopped with trip wires as well as big vehicles that operate on tank treads, so while I get it to me it's not a big deal

Sorcerer, a movie from 1977.

Part of the film involves two guys who have to drive a truck of nitro across brutal terrain, like the bridge in the poster.

Not that old then. Good watch? I just noticed Roy Scheider is in it, hadn't heard of it

@Myrddin Wild is the Slave 2 still around? Maybe Boba gives Mando that ship.
My prediction is that they recruit Bo Katan and rescue Grogu and get the dark saber in the finale. Then the set up for next season is a Jedi arriving.

Well, Slave 2 doesn't exist in Canon, so it could easily be around. In legends, Fett used it in 10 ABY which is next year in the Mando series... so sure... why not. However, his need for buying the 2... was that 1 was in impound, but if he wasn't concerned about getting his armor back, I don't know why he'd need to buy a 2nd ship.

They don't really need to "recruit" Bo-Katan & company, because she's already tracking Gideon, but they could email them teh coordinates.

I still think there's a possibility of the Jedi showing up. Seems like a sweet reveal for the very end of the season... but maybe they'll take the crueler method & make us sit around for a hole fooking year speculating about it.

Star wars nerds trying to ruin Space Hercules.

Stick to the crummy movies.

Whoever ordered them to bring a truck onto that bridge might as well have just shot them in the head

You do remember theyre mining fuel. thats like complaing in the middle of oil field in Iraq about your cars mpgs or price of petrol. Never mind that they can cross divides between galaxies which take HUGE amount of energy. But some local planetside transport where, taking in reference the efficiency of their galaxy hopping tech, that youre sayin would be expensive?

That whole thing was an aside point I made that we don't know how the UNREFINED stuff can be transported. My main point though was that there's lots of evidence that this is an isolated or very rare incident & that the ground transport method didn't need to be corrected prior to the events of this episode.

I haven't seen it in twenty or thirty years but I liked it a lot.

It's an intense watch. Not a straightforward film.
 
D Train said:
Yeah, Boba used a a few ships. 4 I think. Slave 2 is a pretty cool ship. Not as iconic as the Slave 1, but it’s a tough, capable ship.

When talking space ships with potential for toy sales, tough and capable not as important as looks.
