[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 521925, member: 7379"] I quite agree. I certainly don't require an explanation for everything in Star Wars, but major plot devices / points which also seem to contradict established canon, do warrant at least an attempted explanation, IMHO. As has been stated already, if all you need to find someone in the Star Wars universe is a tracking fob, why the hell did the Empire bother sending out all those probe droids at the start of The Empire Strikes Back? Surely they could have simply switched on a fob and headed straight to Hoth. It is ignoring or rewriting of established canon that is one of the (out of a very, VERY great many) reasons why I detest TLJ so much. It rewrote the rules on hyperspace tracking, travel and weaponry in such a ridiculous, needless and stupid way, which was utterly at odds with everything we already knew about these things from all of the previous films, that it immediately took me out of the film to marvel at its sheer idiocy! It did exactly the same thing by rewriting Luke Skywalker's character and personality in the most unforgivable way imaginable, that again, it took me crashing straight out of the film and made me question whether I was even watching Star Wars. And so the tracking fobs do warrant some kind of explanation regarding how they work in order not to fall into this same trap, as otherwise it looks like the writers simply moved the goalposts and hoped no-one would notice. The Mandalorian remains a superb show for me and one I am thoroughly enjoying overall. Do I wish the episodes were both longer and a bit more adult in tone? Yes, certainly. But then again, this show needs to cater for everyone, both adult and child alike, and both established fans and newcomers, and I think it's doing a pretty decent job all in all. I personally would like to see the story start to pick up a little pace now as we head towards the end of the season (just 3 episodes left!), and I hope they manage to resolve the whole 'Child' arc satisfactorily and don't carry it over into Season 2, but even if they do, I'll still take this show over anything else Disney is producing in the Star Wars universe at the moment.
