What's this?

I get that they were trying to make Bobba look like a badass

However, you can't do that and cram everything in 9 or 10 episodes. If they wanted to do it right, then it probably should have been 20 episodes. It will be interesting to see where they go with the Bobba story as well as the Mandalorian story. I do hope they do bring CB back, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't or decide to introduce a relative of CB instead. Yeah I know it would be stupid to go that route, but you could argue they were stupid for trying to cram everything in to so few episodes. I think 1 of the episodes may have only been 30 mins long too.

I guess the other reason I didn't like the live version is CB appeared to be too light when you look at the version in the Marvin comics (see my response to b-street for a pic). At least I have not found anything to suggest that CB is suppose to be a light blue character. Then again, I don't consider myself to be a Star Wars fanboy, so I may be missing something here. I did collect the figures as a kid, but not the Legos, comics, or any of the other toys. Also, I do enjoy the movies and various TV shows. Although I could live without seeing 2 Ewoks movies again.

He's not. He's a cyborg. They just react and "do". No "thinking" ** -- Riverguy 02/15/2022 9:31PM

In a Paul Verhoeven film, he'd be sentient & dating Sharon Stone/Dina Meyer ** -- KCHokie2 02/15/2022 10:15PM

Now that is impressive he can handle both women at the same time ** -- VTHokie2000 02/16/2022 1:37PM

The live action CB wasn't around long enough to do anything though -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:14PM

He's not dead! That's the point! They bring back EVERYONE! -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 7:17PM

Even if they do bring him back, it was still stupid not to have him -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:21PM

Yeah, but IMHO it enrichens the plot...everyone thinks he's dead... -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 7:42PM

I get that they were trying to make Bobba look like a badass -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:50PM

LOL cut of the same cloth... -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 7:56PM

The Ewok movies involved the same Ewoks from Return of the Jedi -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:18PM

Wow ok! I think the live action version, looks like live action! -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 8:48PM

That's why I was asking what his true shade was supposed to be -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:54PM

Dude...I love you man...but I think both of us are taking this color -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 8:59PM

Am I the only person here who honestly has no idea what this is about? -- MP4VT2004 02/15/2022 10:01PM

We were talking about a character in one of the spinoff shows ** -- VTHokie2000 02/16/2022 1:16PM

Gotcha. I kind of figured that, but had no idea who the character was... -- MP4VT2004 02/16/2022 1:22PM

If you never got into Star Wars or seen any of the movies -- VTHokie2000 02/16/2022 1:34PM

10-4, thanks. Not sure how/why I missed the Star Wars craze. -- MP4VT2004 02/16/2022 1:37PM

I was born in '77, so I kinda grew up on it. I know I saw Return in the -- VTHokie2000 02/16/2022 1:43PM

...little 'bluer' too, right? ** -- bourbonstreet 02/15/2022 7:05PM

So CB is supposed to be a light blue character? -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:19PM

Maybe his species lightens in skin color as they age. -- vthokieq 02/15/2022 8:27PM

Yeah, now I DO agree Bobba's armor looked too shiny and new ** -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 9:13PM

Well, that was covered in the last season of The Mandalorian. ** -- vthokieq 02/15/2022 10:47PM

...interesting. +1. ** -- bourbonstreet 02/15/2022 9:07PM

FWIW someone else had mentioned it in one of the reviews of the series ** -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:32PM

Mentioned what? -- vthokieq 02/15/2022 8:34PM

The shade blue used for CB's skin appears too light compared to the color -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:40PM

Are we allowed to be racist now that the TOS sticky has been removed? -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 9:17PM

Light blue? Dude..he's indoors...no dual Tatooine sun shining on him -- HokieNerd 02/15/2022 8:12PM

Even outside in the sun he appears to be the same shade ;-) -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:25PM

I get that they were trying to make Bobba look like a badass
