Can you imagine the heartbreak their parents are feeling? Space is so huge, and they literally cast a football sized probe into the howling dark in the HOPE they can see their babies again.

[u/Rosebunse → u/an_actual_coyote]

It just hit me that we don't really see a ton of actual parents in this show. I mean, I guess Mando but even that took a while for Din to really adopt Grogu.

[u/Sullyville → u/Rosebunse]

Yeah. In Star Wars, you're either taken from your parents as a kid, you never knew your parents, you're a clone, or cloned, or your parents are estranged, hiding behind a mask, or your dad is a hero, but who let you go to his best friend's jedi temple to be trained as a youngling.

These are the first reasonably responsible parents in Star Wars history, I think.

[u/Rosebunse → u/Sullyville]

Yeah, I like it but it does feel weird. Hope it all works out for them!

[u/IAmPageicus → u/Rosebunse]

Parenting issues seem to be a thing in Star Wars... always some kind of generational trauma. I guess ww2 had a greater affect on the lore than I realized.

[u/Bobjoejj → u/IAmPageicus]

I mean shit; there’s a great line from The Mandalorian Honest Trailer, about Din clearing an extremely low bar of being the best single dad in Star Wars (yeah sorry I kinda butchered it here).

[u/Farmfarms → u/IAmPageicus]

Yeah think of the parents we got in Andor. Andor's adopted mom Maarva (badass), and Syril's abusive mother

[u/-spartacus- → u/IAmPageicus]

I mean, the OT is fundamentally about a father and son. Even GL says that.

[u/nhaines → u/an_actual_coyote]

Everything got much harder to watch the moment I started raising kids.

[u/Particular_Bet_5466 → u/an_actual_coyote]

their message didn’t even help the kids either. The kids were already at At Attin and just flew in with it. They didn’t even follow the parents message.
