True, but I'm talking about bleeding out after being wounded via lightsaber. We've seen Luke, Anakin, Dooku all get heads, hands, arms, and legs cut off and none of them are laying in a puddle of blood after. It's a clean wound.

If they could have paced the first two films and built some suspense into them about a larger looming hidden threat (a "phantom menace," one might say), I would have been "more OK" with Palpatine coming back.
In other words, I wouldn't have minded if it was part of the plan instead of something Abrams & Terrio **** out at the 11th hour.
But as we all know, there was no plan.

Never was, not even in the OT. You don't need a plan if you have talent and restraint (See: Vince Gilligan's team on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul). Problem is we've got Star Wars fans making Star Wars now so it runs on fanfic tropes.

Except there was. Broad character arcs were planned. Each movie focusing giving a victory lap for one of the OT characters was also apart of the plan. Episode 7 was meant to Han's movie, 8 Luke's, and 9 Leia's. Even Palpatine coming back was aimed for during TFA's production.But as we all know, there was no plan.

Don’t get him started. He steadfastly flies in the face of proven fact to uphold the narrative that the ST was all planned out and great.

Nothing they did in the ST was victorious by even the smallest metric. All their sacrifces were rendered meaningless, but I'm not interested in rehashing the disappointments of the past 5 years. At least we are mostly in agreement about Mandalorian being overall entertaining.

Interview from the red carpet. JJ and Kathy both said that bringing Palpatine back was something they wanted to do from the beginning.
"So there were discussions about that at the time. Yet, like any beginning, you want to put the threads in, but you don’t want to necessarily be literal about everything. And then when Rian was brought on to do The Last Jedi, we met and we talked about things and he wrote his story. And when I read it the script, I realized this didn’t get in the way of anything Larry and I talked about that I thought I’d get to. There were some very specific things we did get to do in this movie that we were laughing and going, “Oh my god, we’re finally doing that thing we talked about five years ago."

If I recall correctly, they put Trevorrow to work on his Ep IX script as early as 2016 (if not sooner), and it had almost no resemblance to what Abrams & Terrio produced. No Palpatine at all, if memory serves.
If Palpatine was part of the plan all along, why wouldn't Trevorrow's script have reflected that?
I call bull-****. I can't prove it, but that sounds like CYA/revisionist history/selective retconning to me. I daresay lurching from plan to plan to plan is by definition a lack of a plan.
I will give "The Mandalorian" credit for having a clear, solid plan of where they want to go with their story.

I missed it - what happened to the Amben? Do you mean because it was in the RC when it got blowed up?

Huh, I didn’t even think about that. Not that he’s even used that rifle like all season. Waste of a way to go.

What'd you use to grab the screen caps? Not just "Print Screen," I assume?

So here's my view on things: First off, Boba is full of crap. He's a BAD GUY, and we will see it soon.
- He's worked for the Empire before.
- He probably STILL hates the Jedi. Why would he possibly help Grogu?
- Jango's line about being a "simple man making his way in the universe" was a lie to Obi-Wan. It's repeated here.
- They took out the Razor Crest from orbit, but they didn't blow up Slave I.
- He had little compunction about burgling the Razor Crest. Admittedly he was getting his own stuff, but still.
- Boba made it sound like Jango was his real father, and didn't bring up that he's a clone. (That's a stretch, but it goes to Boba's dishonesty.)
- Either he could follow the Imperial tracking signal, or he was tipped off to where they were going.
- Jango wasn't a Mandalorian, according to the PM of Mandalore. Okay, maybe he was a foundling who took the Oath like Din did. But it's likely he's just a bounty hunter.
- Boba's new chompers were like the guy from There's Something About Mary, and those were done to be dishonest. ( I kid, I kid.)
