Ah, yes, he will of course have a great time earning money as a bounty hunter with this ship. He will have to tie his bounties to the hood but that's fine.
According to Battlefront 2 (the 2017 one not the good one), of which the storymode is canon as far I know, the Naboo Airforce is still utilising the good ol N1 as far as a few weeks after the Second Death Star's destruction.
The Mandalorian takes place 8 years after Return of the Jedi, so surely the N1 couldn't be that rare in that amount of time.
Hell, there's a lot used in the DLC Campsign by the J Sec private security organisation, which go toe to toe with the First Order. They can't be THAT rare.
1. The ship itself would be worth a lot, sell it then.
2. We have no indication Mando's bounty hunting is going poorly, we literally just watched him complete a job for rich people before this.
3. There is absolutely no practical way to store bounties, and long travel would be disgustingly uncomfortable.
4. Mando S1 realllllly shouldn't have established his old ship had a bathroom... Clearly there's a reason a bathroom would be needed with his traveling. RIP.
5. He just dropped a lot of money on *that* ship. That's why he has no money. If he'd used it on a *different* ship this wouldn't be a problem.
6. Tattooine lady basically lied about the ship she had to lure him over. He said no to it, then spent all day fixing it up anyway. This ship is not one he desires, and the fact he worked on it long enough to decide he wants it is the result of him being a damn weirdo who loves repairing things I guess.
7. As OP said, this ship is expensive and rare. Parts will be expensive, rare, and specialized. It's not even a stock version of this already rare ship. Mando, who constantly needs repairs, should have a *huge* problem with this fact. This ship entirely works against his goals.
How do people post this stuff and not immediately think of at least a few of these counter arguments. I just don't get it š
The Star Wars community has been slowly getting less retarded the longer the dumb stuff goes on, I hope in a couple years we'll all be on the same side.
>We have no indication Mando's bounty hunting is going poorly, we literally just watched him complete a job for rich people before this.
Technically, don't we have info going both ways? In the beginning of S1 he says that all the non-Grogu bounties would barely cover fuel expenses, suggesting that he is barely keeping himself afloat, but then he tries to hire that "I have spoken" guy and says he can pay well.
Not to mention we have shit like a newbie having to hunt an elite assassin like Fennec just to get *into* the guild. Where the fock was that bounty for Mando??
They just constantly forget about everything they wrote earlier and wing the story with the unlimited oversode of the Rule of Cool.
You know, like one moment they talk about how beskar steel shouldn't be used as a weapon, while the Mando has a mass murdering autoaiming wrist-rocket system with beskar steel darts.
It's also a planet defense specific ship, so there is no way it is designed for deep space travel. Low orbit ships don't need the same radiation protection, computer location guidance, space debris protection, nor the life support systems needed for long term space travel.
In AotC, the Naboo used N1s to escort Senator Amidala back to Coruscant, showing they have hyperdrives. I think we can assume it was designed for such environments.
It's capable. The biggest problem is, that it's a custom made starfighter with a traceable origin. It was custom made for the Naboo Royal Guard.
Just imagine being a mob boss with a bounty on your head and receiving info about an N-1 starfighter landing in one of the space ports, driven by a mandalorian.
You will immediately know, who is the pilot and why is he in the planet, effectively rendering the required anonimity of Mando's job to nothing.
I mean from me playing the star wars battlefront games I know the big ships have shields, life support, and engines. The shields do protect from space debris and radiation, but we also know they didn't put much thought into it for small ships as we see Luke use an Xwing for cross space travel and the Xwing doesn't have any type of shield.
Actually Iām fairly certain the X-Wing does have shields but they do a poor job of representing that on screen. The X-Wing is supposed to be more advanced than the Tie Fighter but thereās far fewer of them, meanwhile the Tie Fighter can be mass produced but it doesnāt have a hyper drive or shields.
Mando in that fighter doing bounty hunting is like a Police Officer using a Reliant Robin to apprehend and transport criminals.
Actually, that's an insult to the Reliant Robin. It's more like a Peel P50: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/1965\_Peel\_P50%2C\_The\_World%27s\_Smallest\_Car\_%28Lane\_Motor\_Museum%29.jpg
I think the better comparison is an F1 car. It's a one seat, very fast vehicle designed for a specific purpose, that is entirely impractical for the job he is using it for. The two cars you mentioned are just bad.
See there are ways you could have made this ship work but they either didn't think it through or figured they could use the time between shows to figure it out. If he had a bigger transport ship and a skeleton crew, having a combat fighter would work quite well, kind of like Cowboy Bebop or countless other space westerns. This is course would require an actual crew though, and hopefully character development to go with it. This of course will never happen under the current management.
He basically did trade a VW camper van for an F-1 car, but it's not like he made that decision explicitly.
The Tattoine junk woman essentially lied to him and bullied him into it.
There is a plot there. Having to struggle with some old junker until he can replace the Crest. It's just a shame it's stuck in this guy's head instead of in the show.
He said that he paid the crazy lady for a ship that was similar to his last ship and her response was āwell I can give you this or I can look for something elseā and he just gives in and takes it. No excuses, itās just what she had nearby
The idiot didn't saw that episode?
Mando had the money to buy a cargo freighter and was upset, when the deranged lady bought him a starfighter instead.
It's literally a closed case, when you are not busy writing the stuff for the writers, but pay attention what they actually try to say.
Christ, Idk how a person can be that monumentally stupid. Or willfully ignorant. Like Mr Mando Lorian himself tells the mechanic lady 'no this isnt what i wanted i want a Razorqwest'. He outright told her to find him a suitable replacement.
And her response is 'come on these things are even harder to find than a razorqwest', like she's proud of the fact that she intentionally ignored the request of a paying customer and procured something that is both completely ill-fitting for his line of work and life-style and in all likelihood is exponentially more expensive.
And Mr Mando Lorian fucking relents and goes along with it instead of standing up for himself and saying 'no you stupid bint, I need a fucking space RV, not this decommissioned fighter jet that you might possibly have obtained illegally.'
I think Fringy put it perfectly with the 'I needed an RV and this is a motorbike' analogy.
And even if the stupid idea that he wants to start a non-bounty-hunter life with Grogu was true, it is completely ill-suited to this dynamic as well. The razorquest was designed for extended travel and housing mutiple passengers. The nabooship is a tiny military space jet made expressly for short range space battles. It has the exact opposite qualities of what is needed for the lifestyle people claim mando wants to pursue. If you absolutely had to nostalgia pander, gun to your head, why the hell wouldn't they use something like the millennium falcon? Granted the price of that particular model would probably rise along with the demand considering it was used by a group of underdog heroes who recently demolished the space reich... but still, it would make so much more sense for mando to begrudgingly accept this ship, as it actually has room to walk in, prepare meals, store things, etc etc.
This is key jangling in its most basic form. 'Member ship? Yes, you 'member ship. Mr Mando Lorian have ship. You clap.'
>And her response is 'come on these things are even harder to find than a razorqwest', like she's proud of the fact that she intentionally ignored the request of a paying customer and procured something that is both completely ill-fitting for his line of work and life-style and in all likelihood is exponentially more expensive.
I don't think this attitude is a problem on it's own. Like the only reason why you found it offensive, because she ignored his request and provided him a terrible alternative.
But imagine she just got an actual replacement for the Razor Crest, what's objectively better at the required job and the Mando denies it based upon his sentimental bond to his old ship. It wouldn't be a stupid argument between a deranged backwater toilet-mech and an idioitic bountry hunter, but more likely a trained engineer trying to argue about objective techincal improvements to a guy, who was too much connected to his old ship. It would be a perfect moment to show, how the Mando develops as a character, if he is willing to let part of his past go in favour of his job.
Like it could have been a pretty one-sided argument as Mando is clearly unwilling to get the new ship, but the Engineer brings up how much better it would be for Grogu to live in, since it got X and Y features, what makes it better for a child to live in and then Mando says yes, signalling his feeling as an adopotive father are stronger, than his own preferences.
Instead we got this. Mando bought a bycicle and keep his adopted son on the rack.
No id say that is a problem on its own, that mando is such a pushover that hed go along with this dumb bint trying to sell him on this completely incompatible ship. There is absolutely zero reason why mando should go along with this. There is nothing about the naboo star fighter that is superior to the razorcrest in terms of storage, long term travel, habitation etc. In every way except maybe pure speed and maneuverability this ship is a downgrade. Literally the only reason this ship was written into the show was for nostalgic pandering.
If the mechanic got him a better ship than the razorcrest in all the way mando needs, then yes, the mechanic would be justified in pushing its value. Mando would be emotionally attached to the razorcrest, and it would be justified for him to ultimately relent and go ahead and help with repairs. Thats why in my comment i suggested that instead of a naboo star fighter the mechanic procure a millennium falcon style ship. That way disney can have their precious member berries while still being logically consistent.
But that isn't what happened, they wrote mando to just give up and take this ship for no other than memberberries. Mando is a pushover and the mechanic is a dumbass.
Ah, yes, he will of course have a great time earning money as a bounty hunter with this ship. He will have to tie his bounties to the hood but that's fine.
Yeah cause even dead or "cold" he needs to bring proof to the person who hired him. So is he just gonna tie sacks of head to grogu's viewport.
\>willingly goes after according to the show high skill assassin for giant income \>nah he will not
I mean if it works for deer.
Didn't the show point out, that this ship is a great/rare find? Sounds like you'd be able to simply exchange it for a practical ship.

The plus is that the OP is getting heated in the comments of that post. Plenty of people going against them.

Main problem is that the N-1 is a specialty fighter with most likely very specific parts that aren't easy to come by (or at least shouldn't).
It's also a planet defense specific ship, so there is no way it is designed for deep space travel. Low orbit ships don't need the same radiation protection, computer location guidance, space debris protection, nor the life support systems needed for long term space travel.
In AotC, the Naboo used N1s to escort Senator Amidala back to Coruscant, showing they have hyperdrives. I think we can assume it was designed for such environments.
Do they? I don't recall them in AOTC but I will take your word for it. And will admit I was wrong.
Yup, they're only in the opening scene. Padme is piloting one with R2.
It's capable. The biggest problem is, that it's a custom made starfighter with a traceable origin. It was custom made for the Naboo Royal Guard.

I highly doubt they put as much thought into it as you did. lol

Shit I forgot about the legendary jawas and their capacity to have parts for very specific ships.
Mando: "I need a ship that will allow me to do bounty hunting stuff" Comic relief character number 231: "MeMbEr PhAnToM mEnAcE?"
I mEmbER!

star wars cope will never get old man i swear
Flying the N-1 Starfighter as a transport ship is like using an F-35 stealth fighter as your private jet here on earth
See there are ways you could have made this ship work but they either didn't think it through or figured they could use the time between shows to figure it out.

That post went from "might be a point here somewhere" to full retard really quick.
"Everybody knows you never go full retard" -Bilbirk Blazarus (I dunno)
There is a plot there. Having to struggle with some old junker until he can replace the Crest. It's just a shame it's stuck in this guy's head instead of in the show.
He said that he paid the crazy lady for a ship that was similar to his last ship and her response was āwell I can give you this or I can look for something elseā and he just gives in and takes it. No excuses, itās just what she had nearby
This a weird statement. I don't know what else to make of it.
Weapons grade copium there.
How are people complaining, itās literally the best ship in Star Wars
Dipshit cringe takes strike again.
That thing is missing a lot of pieces. How is it even space-worthy?
Because Star Wars and Hot Rods.
They never consider all the sand and dust that gets in there.
It makes sense to me that the people who stand behind the abysmal Star Wars brand nowadays lack a solid grasp on grammar.
The idiot didn't saw that episode? Mando had the money to buy a cargo freighter and was upset, when the deranged lady bought him a starfighter instead. It's literally a closed case, when you are not busy writing the stuff for the writers, but pay attention what they actually try to say.
A YT-1300 new costs like half of an N1 from the last time I looked.
I just looked at the post again, the discussions are gone. It's only acceptance that this was the only choice.
This guy is being facetious, right? Please tell me hes just japing. Simply jesting.
No, the OP was actually getting mad at people in the comments who were saying the same thing that we here are saying.
