There's nothing official on it but the general consensus amongst fans is that while the ship looks like an Arquitens from Rebels, it isn't one. The ship seen in The Mandalorian superficially resembles an Arquitens but it's larger overall, It has a proper hangar than can accommodate both TIE fighters as well as Lambda class shuttles, and has a completely different and larger bridge.Something that's bugging me, but is the Imperial Light Cruiser we see in Mando a different class of light cruiser than the ones we saw in Rebels? The ship itself seems much more spacious, especially the bridge and hanger.
That episode was really jarring IMO. The setting looks like the Nevada desert and the canon-fodder CG Stormtroopers really reveal the budget; nearly looks like a fanfilm on Youtube. It's the low point of the season for me. I did appreciate Boba's reintroduction and his new look though, super cool.I seriously cant believe how many of those shots of troopers were entirely cg. Wow.
Haha, it was really funny watching that scene tbh.It's been said that Stormtroopers are just freekin' bowling pins, and it was more than ever in this series.... literally in that one scene. I thought it must have been an intentional joke to do that.
That was one of my problems with the show. Stormtroopers were pretty much disposable, especially in the Boba Fett episode. Our heroes plow through them with hardly any effort. What's the point of them even being there if they're not a serious obstacle to contend with?
Outside of ESB they're not much more effective in the OT.That was one of my problems with the show. Stormtroopers were pretty much disposable, especially in the Boba Fett episode.

Definitely by ROTJ they lost some formidability but in ANH they constantly had the heroes on the run from Tatooine onto the Death Star. If Leia's rescue had been scripted by today's writers, Han and Luke would've been hitting head shots left and right (like the Mandos), Leia would be roundhouse kicking (like Fennic), and Chewbacca would just run through barrages of blaster fire to physically beat down anyone in his way (like Cara Dune).Outside of ESB they're not much more effective in the OT.
Yeah but it doesn't have to be Power Rangers sci fi.Probably because they’re that good ...it is sci fi
Yeah, Stormtroopers sucking has been a long-running joke as old as the OT itself. I mean, we're talking about an army whose best troops were defeated by teddy bears wielding paleolithic era weaponry.Outside of ESB they're not much more effective in the OT.
Yeah, ANH does a good job of showing them as a threat while still explaining how our heroes got away (being tracked), and the Empire outright wins every battle in ESB. It’s really ROTJ where things get screwy.Outside of ESB they're not much more effective in the OT.
All they do in ANH is shoot at the falcon and ask people question in Mos Eisley. We don't see them do anything to the jawas, just that they shredded a crawler. On the DS, well, it's 4 good guys vs thousands of troopers. Odds are always in the favor of the troopers. They're a threat in numbers, but that was ever about it. No one is taking the odds of fighting even if it's 50 ROTJ level troopers vs 4.
I don't think they were all of that much a threat in ANH either. The only threatening thing they accomplished was shredding the sand crawler, and we only saw the aftermath. Same with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. If 100 troopers showed up to do that, yeah, cake walk for the troopers but it doesn't make them a great threat. If it was just 2, that's another story, but either way, we don't see it. Plus, if Ben's been there since the end of the clone wars, he wouldn't know if an imperial stormtrooper could hit the broadside of a barn. He's only seen clone troopers in action

Whoops forgot that.We’re you sleeping during the opening where they stormed the doorway of the Tantive IV?
