You keep asking why the Mando didn't just fly in while ignoring the ckearly established fact he doesn't know where to go. He has a tracker. They clearly work from a distance. Like I said, I get the trope, they wanted him riding in, walking out. But aside from Nolte's insistence that one cannot simply walk into Mordor, the Ugnaught could have pointed it out on a flyby. Or on a map. Or even a "50 miles that way". The tracker was directional only. I'm starting to wonder if you really think the bounty hunter should have just parked his ship right on top of the target, or done multiple flybys to get a position fix using the tracker, thereby fully alerting everyone? And, sure, the Ugnaught could have related the directions via interpretive dance. If that's the extent of your disagreement -- the Ugnaught didn't dance according to your imagined preference -- then okay, have at, you're a strange person but you do you. In the meantime, it seems fairly intelligent to NOT do multiple flybys of a target location but instead land some distance away and track in carefully to maintain the element of surprise. At least, it seems obvious to me. I might be odd in this thinking. I'm might also be odd in thinking that if you have a local guide willing to show you the way to the target, especially after having saved your life, that demanding that they walk back to your ship and fly around seems like it might be kinds dumb and likely to insult the said local guide. I guess the short form of all of this is get better complaints?

The tracker was directional only. I get that you don't understand triangulation, but do you have to broadcast it so loudly?

Yeah, definite Lone Wolf and Cub theme running in episode 2. Also, one thing that tripped my "WTF?" sensors in episode 1 and was reinforced in 2... why didn't he fly in closer to the target instead of having to ride the beast? Clearly walking in and out wasn't an issue, as he walked out. And it's not like the locals were going to get shirty if he parked outside the spaceport... because that's exactly what he did. I mean, even a bit of lampshading would have pleased me. I guess he didn't want to show his hand to his target by arriving too close. It's probably his SOP to arrive at some distance in a "normal" landing spot and then travel via local conveyance to his target. But yeah, I don't know why he didn't ride the beast back out. And he should invest in a speeder stowed on his ship. The beast was barely broken. They caught it wild in episode 1 and probably wandered off when he left it alone to go invade. I agree with you that he wouldn't want to fly close to the target location. That would clue them in and make it much harder to accomplish his goal. It would have been exceedingly stupid to fly close to the site with the child. That said, I think we've seen ships with autopilots that can be triggered to fly themselves close to their owners. I'd think he would have had such a device.

The tracker was directional only. I get that you don't understand triangulation, but do you have to broadcast it so loudly? Sigh. The tracker seemed pretty inaccurate at distance, giving a wide arc of bearing. Of course, you'd have to move around a large degree of arc to get only a rough triangulation of area (and possibly alerting your unknown quarry). As it happened being almosr eaten by an angry cow, saved, and then told by his savior he could be shown to the target, interruoted this great triangulation plan you've imagined, for the better, maybe. I mean, if you understand how triangulation works with a large error. You do, right?

I mean, I get you can't accept that this one thing disturbed my sense of enjoyment and must throw yourself screaming into the void in defense of the sacred... you did catch where I've repeatedly said "I get it, they wanted to massage the trope" yeah?

Oh, sorry, I thought we were just flaming to flame over Star Wars. You know, that bit where you try to outnerd each other over magic-space-wizard kid's shows? I must have missed you calling out your safeword. Mea culpa*. *That's jawa for "suck it, loser, I win at nerds!"
