"Dij Djarin's instantly iconic starship the Razor Crest was destroyed in the second to last episode of The Mandalorian's second season. It was a bummer, because it was such a cool, fresh, and unique design that seemed to match the title character's whole vibe perfectly. Obviously, Din was going to need a replacement—which he received in The Book of Boba Fett in the form of an N-1 Starfighter. (You know, the kind used by Naboo soldiers in The Phantom Menace.) And I think this is a problem. Swapping Star Wars' equivalent of a van for its equivalent of a souped-up Fast & Furious racer might sound like an upgrade, and certainly it beats the Razor Crest on speed and maneuverability, a huge benefit for engaging in space dogfights with bounties and the other ne'er-do-wells of the galaxy. But what happens after Din actually catches a bounty? Similar to a high-end sports car like a Lamborghini, the Starfighter isn't concerned with trunk space. It's not a family vehicle, it's not meant to transport anything, which is going to make the Mandalorian's job very, very hard…"

Agreed! Totally impractical |

Absolutely right! Bo Katan's ship is better, but still too small. At least the Razor Crest had a head! |

"it was such a cool, fresh, and unique design" -- what? It's a modified Firefly-class. Good-looking ship, though. I'd paint one and get it on a game table. |

I had the same thought. The razor crest was a home, an arsenal, had room for a growing… whatever. The new one is just a dragster. Grogu has to sit in the bot socket. Oh, well, I'm sure they'll write around it. It's Star Wars, you're not supposed to wonder how all these building-sized predators survive on worlds with no other life, or how large herbivores like bantha survive in plant-less environments. |

I pretty much went off Star Wars when some sort of Gigantic 'Worm thing' emerged from a Space rock and tried to eat a Space Ship. WHAT ? |
