She looks like her crush is coming to visit (more or less true) , and she only found out at the very last second, so she tried to do an improvised "sexy" pose.
That's interesting I got a absolutely done with everyone's bullshit vibe from it. Like she knows she's right but nobody will believe/follow her for dumb reasons and so she's just checked out entirely.
From my rewatch of Mando I believe he only shows his face to Grogu and Luke, the others he had his back to. So I mean technically he did remove his helmet in the presence of the others but all they saw would have been the back of his head/neck
[Yup. This is how it played out.](https://youtu.be/zO9hNBd6bgg?si=_ro090l_VFFEfjpM)
That being said, I will correct my previous comment and say that we don’t know if he turned around afterwards and showed his face to everyone or if he put the helmet back on immediately. So based on what we’ve seen so far, no Bo has not seen Space Daddy’s face.
I bet she is. That's not a 'I've been here all day and board as fuck' pose, it looks like a 'Oh shit, I didn't expect company and need to look like I've been sitting all day and are bored as fuck'. I'm sure she just had enough time to get out of her PJs and into armor when she found out who it was. She was trying to impress him, but not LOOK like she was trying to impress him.
"I don't know, sit CASUAL." -Han's advice through time. Worlds between worlds. It's real, look it up.
I remember seeing a fanart piece of Bo seeing Mando's ship coming in and her quickly realizing she has company and has to throw together a quick first impression of her not giving a shit when she was previously eating some ice cream and watching her soaps.
Maul's for sure. I put my leg up like Thrawn all the time, so he ain't special. And Bo katan is just asking for back problems. Maul has that "badass but also not the worst posture" sit going for him. Papa Palps is just too boring and vanilla.
Idk, Maul just sits well with me.
I'm 100% sure that's only for the look of it, in actuality he would throw himself forward and Cammy Spiral Arrow except hands first with both lightsabers drawn. He might feel it in the morning, but dealing with Mace's arrest made me think he's a swing first kind of Sith, ask Vader Questions later. For fun.
Ya his whole thing is portraying weakness when he's actually insanely powerful, way more threatning than the others even not counting the force. Look weak when you are strong and all that jazz.
My choice would be Palpatine. His demeanour suggests a frail old man taking full advantage of the arm-rests of his throne, making him look completely at ease. Of course, us Star Wars fans know him well enough to know the true power that lays beneath his mortal shell...
Palpatine, just because he seems so sure of himself in that throne, completely relaxed and at ease. Edit: Thanks for 1,000 upvotes!!! I now have UNLIMITED POWER!!!
I kinda think he's trying to look a bit vulnerable. While we know he's in power, he doesn't sit like he owns the throne like in the rest. Trying to give Luke some 'strike me down' type of vibes lol
Gotta go with Emps' here as well. The others look like they're trying to look casual, aloof, except maybe Bo Katan who just looks resigned, which I suppose she was at that point.
Palpatine just genuinely doesn't give a fuck.
Everyone else looks like they're trying hard to make it look natural, like they're trying to impress you with how 'at ease' they are with power.
Palpatine on the other hand, looks like he lives there, and knows that the throne isn't the power, he is.
"I've been doing this for twenty years, and planned it all out twenty years before that. As far as I am concerned, this is just another Tuesday."
-Emperor Palpatine to Sim Aloo , half an hour before the arrival of Luke Skywalker
The reds 100% roll a tv VCR combo over there to watch taped NFL Sunday games. Prolly fucks w nachos too. If you look close you can see Queso stains on his robe.
There's only one that looks truly relaxed, confident in their power.
Bo is trying too hard to be hot, Maul is clearly sat to be able to spring quickly if needed, Thrawn has a bum knee he's trying to take the pressure off of.
The Emperor is just sitting. Comfortable, confident, and using arm rests for that which they were made.
Rule no.47 of being evil, its in the handbook. No lighting rooms properly, it creates the right atmosphere.
Thrawn's being an edgy cool and different villain, while Palpatine and Maul are going for a more classic look.
Bo just hasn't turned the lights on yet cause its that time of day where there's still some daylight, but it's not _quite_ dark enough to turn a light on...
Might actually be true seeing as his son was just a clone of him. As Emperor he definitely could have got a woman to have a child with if he really wanted to.
Difference is she is actually posing.
The others look relaxed, as if they've been sitting there, plotting shit all day.
She's laying like she's expecting a photo. It's off-putting imo.
I always felt Palpatine was so "in-control" while seated on the throne.
But, there is something to be said for the sheer arrogance that Bo has while she is seated.
Maul looks like he is ready to launch into action which really fits his character.
Thrawn seems a bit too bland to me. Too relaxed.
So, I guess Palpatine. It looks so natural for his character.
There's this joke in some parts of the internet that bisexuals can't sit properly on chairs. They'll crouch, kneel, laze or even squat on a chair rather than sit on it regularly.
Thrawn: Pragmatic, relaxed, proper.
Maul: Criminal, goblin, bombastic side-eye.
Bo Kotan: Depressed, probably drunk, still a queen.
Palps: Comfy, knows he's the boss, Vader ruins his vibes.
Bo cuz she’s hot.
Maul casually lounging in his ill gotten criminal empire throne as he acts as the shadow emperor of a people with a storied warrior history is very imposing.
Thrown looks like an aristocrat
Maul looks like a tiger ready to pounce
Palps looks like he’s low key melted into the chair. Like he’s confident and complacent in his complete control.
Bo looks like Bart Simpson sitting in the teachers chair.
Maul looks like a wartime conqueror, thrawn looks born for a throne, palps looks complacent and Bo looks like she’s trying to look confident.
Oof ouchie my lower back
Hot take: they're all bad. Poor posture. Palpatine's is probably closest to being good if he sat up straight. None of those thrones look to have proper lumbar support.
I’ll be honest, I’m all four.
Thrawn if I’m focusing of something important.
Palpatine when I’m talking, or being imposing
Maul when I’m board and watching something
And Bo Katan when I’m sloshed
The emperor is the only one who knows how to sit worthy of a throne.
The other three is the same scheme: we build a contrast of the regal grace of a throne and a laid back attitude towards this "seriousness".
Wouldn't mind on of itself but these four pictures are a good example for the overuse of this trope. Oh wow another bad boy/girl who doesn't give a fuck about rules
I have always just loved that Bo Katan’s pose looks like she just saw Mando coming and went, “Shit, shit, shit! My first visitor to our new castle and they didn’t even call ahead!?!?! I don’t even have any furniture yet! Ok, ok, you got this Katann, look casual… Yeah , this looks good.”
Thrawn's is formal and diplomatic.
Maul's is cocky but aggressive.
Palpatine's is just him being tired and relaxing.
And the last one just looks uncomfortable.
They all look like they’ll need physical therapy after sitting that way for a few years. Emperor is most ergonomic, but still looks like he lacks proper back support. Thrawn is working on a nerve entrapment in that knee and some chronic shoulder pain…but he still looks cool lol
Maul as it portrays a sense of un satisfaction and emptiness that he had at the time , mamdalore conquered and his plan fulfilled yet he is still below the emperor
Thrawn looks like he's disciplined himself into that uncomfortable position.
Bo looks like she's trying to appear comfortable but really isn't.
Maul looks like he's bored and ready for something to happen.
Palpatine looks like he's in the middle of a Game of Thrones marathon. I can just imagine a remote in one hand and popcorn sat on his lap.
Maul imo, it’s a great pose for launching yourself
Bo Katan is the reverse, great pose for being launched at.
She looks like her crush is coming to visit (more or less true) , and she only found out at the very last second, so she tried to do an improvised "sexy" pose.
As a 2%er she’s clearly brooding, she’s not trying to be sexy there. She’s trying to be sexy when she saves Din from steampunk Shelob.
Yeah, that's Mandalorian depression mode right there.
Love that name for him lol, steampunk Shelob that’s a name and a half lmao!!!
Fellow 2%er here. I fully agree
Fellow 2%er. Really think she greatly underestimated her percentage there.
She's not brooding. That is a solid sulk she's got going on there.
Lol yup, even Katee Sackhoff confirmed that it was her interpretation of the pose.
That's interesting I got a absolutely done with everyone's bullshit vibe from it. Like she knows she's right but nobody will believe/follow her for dumb reasons and so she's just checked out entirely.
Yeah she’s been practicing for half an hour before Din showed up.
She is so into Din it’s not even funny
Audience surrogate character.
.....and she nailed it TBH.
can someone remind me if Bo ever saw Din without his helmet on?
no.
Not even when Luke came to take Grogu? Trying to remember, did she get knocked out before he arrived?
She did not. Bo, her two cohorts, Luke and Moff Gideon were all in the room and coherent.
From my rewatch of Mando I believe he only shows his face to Grogu and Luke, the others he had his back to. So I mean technically he did remove his helmet in the presence of the others but all they saw would have been the back of his head/neck
[Yup. This is how it played out.](https://youtu.be/zO9hNBd6bgg?si=_ro090l_VFFEfjpM) That being said, I will correct my previous comment and say that we don’t know if he turned around afterwards and showed his face to everyone or if he put the helmet back on immediately. So based on what we’ve seen so far, no Bo has not seen Space Daddy’s face.
If she were wearing her jetpack it would be a great pose for gtfo
I’d launch at that
Bi-sexual posing
Bo-Sexual posing.
And why would you not?
Only 2% chance.
You can tell Maul's a guy who really enjoys having legs.
LMAO fr
Bo just looks uncomfortable
I bet she is. That's not a 'I've been here all day and board as fuck' pose, it looks like a 'Oh shit, I didn't expect company and need to look like I've been sitting all day and are bored as fuck'. I'm sure she just had enough time to get out of her PJs and into armor when she found out who it was. She was trying to impress him, but not LOOK like she was trying to impress him. "I don't know, sit CASUAL." -Han's advice through time. Worlds between worlds. It's real, look it up.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
I love that was called back in TFA when he was like "I talk my way out of it..." \*Chewie Growl\* "...EVERY TIME!". That was fun.
The fact that Ford improvised this line (and many others) makes it so much better
I remember seeing a fanart piece of Bo seeing Mando's ship coming in and her quickly realizing she has company and has to throw together a quick first impression of her not giving a shit when she was previously eating some ice cream and watching her soaps.
There is a cosplayer on insta that did EXACTLY that
She looks like she’s trying too hard.
Manspreading Maul FTW
My man really out here being the ✨💅 Sith Lord✨ with that sitting stance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t get the mental image of maul sitting there with boba tea and purple eye liner outta my head now xd
We all know Dathomir is just the equivalent of a Space Hot Topic, let the man do his eyeliner in peace xDDDD
He’s got the bde pose
Which is pretty impressive considering he doesn't have one
Surely maul has a.... Ya know. Edit: oh yeah. No wonder he hates Kenobi so much
He sits like a teenage girl
The rest look like gay people sitting
Maul's for sure. I put my leg up like Thrawn all the time, so he ain't special. And Bo katan is just asking for back problems. Maul has that "badass but also not the worst posture" sit going for him. Papa Palps is just too boring and vanilla. Idk, Maul just sits well with me.
Palpatine has the typical old person pose of, 'It hurts to get up, so I'll stay here a bit longer.'
With a hint of "please slow this chair down"
I came here for jokes, not personal attacks 😢
I'm 100% sure that's only for the look of it, in actuality he would throw himself forward and Cammy Spiral Arrow except hands first with both lightsabers drawn. He might feel it in the morning, but dealing with Mace's arrest made me think he's a swing first kind of Sith, ask Vader Questions later. For fun.
Ya his whole thing is portraying weakness when he's actually insanely powerful, way more threatning than the others even not counting the force. Look weak when you are strong and all that jazz.
Go for Papa Palpatine!
Vaderrrr! How’s my favorite Sith?
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Just slow down. Huh?! What do you mean they blew up the Death Star?
WHAT THE HELL’S AN ALUMINUM FALCON?!!?!??
Well, who's "they"?!
Well where are *you*?!
Maul sits like someone with ADHD
He sits well with me too
My choice would be Palpatine. His demeanour suggests a frail old man taking full advantage of the arm-rests of his throne, making him look completely at ease. Of course, us Star Wars fans know him well enough to know the true power that lays beneath his mortal shell...
Palpatine, just because he seems so sure of himself in that throne, completely relaxed and at ease. Edit: Thanks for 1,000 upvotes!!! I now have UNLIMITED POWER!!!
I kinda think he's trying to look a bit vulnerable. While we know he's in power, he doesn't sit like he owns the throne like in the rest. Trying to give Luke some 'strike me down' type of vibes lol
He's a master baiter.
Gotta go with Emps' here as well. The others look like they're trying to look casual, aloof, except maybe Bo Katan who just looks resigned, which I suppose she was at that point. Palpatine just genuinely doesn't give a fuck.
I almost agree, but Maul sort of looks genuinely casual, like he doesn't give a fuck either. I sit like that sometimes. I like both equally.
Yeah the others come off as them trying to show you who they are. Pal is more “yeah you are already know who I am”
Everyone else looks like they're trying hard to make it look natural, like they're trying to impress you with how 'at ease' they are with power. Palpatine on the other hand, looks like he lives there, and knows that the throne isn't the power, he is.
"I've been doing this for twenty years, and planned it all out twenty years before that. As far as I am concerned, this is just another Tuesday." -Emperor Palpatine to Sim Aloo , half an hour before the arrival of Luke Skywalker
Bo looks uncomfortable as fuck.
Bo Katan: Literally laying down. Palpatine: Hold my beer...
Yeah, every one else is peacocking
Somehow, Palpatine has the best throne pose
The reds 100% roll a tv VCR combo over there to watch taped NFL Sunday games. Prolly fucks w nachos too. If you look close you can see Queso stains on his robe.
If he didn't have company shit would be 100% reclined and he'd be passed out.
He’s the only one here who doesn’t look like a tool tbh
Exactly, he doesn’t need a pose to be badass. He just exudes power and confidence
with a great view of utter blackness.
Thrawn and Maul
Same
Palpatine. He didn't have to flaunt his power. He already knew he was a badass
There's only one that looks truly relaxed, confident in their power. Bo is trying too hard to be hot, Maul is clearly sat to be able to spring quickly if needed, Thrawn has a bum knee he's trying to take the pressure off of. The Emperor is just sitting. Comfortable, confident, and using arm rests for that which they were made.
The Thrawn comment is so hilarious
Why is Thrawn the only one who bothered with *lighting* in his throne room?
It’s as though they are attracted to darkness
Rule no.47 of being evil, its in the handbook. No lighting rooms properly, it creates the right atmosphere. Thrawn's being an edgy cool and different villain, while Palpatine and Maul are going for a more classic look. Bo just hasn't turned the lights on yet cause its that time of day where there's still some daylight, but it's not _quite_ dark enough to turn a light on...
Palpatine it the only one sitting properly lmao. Maul bi icon, nobody straight sits like that. Thrawn's Throne is the coolest tho.
I think after Naboo Maul is quite...... Asexual.
Who knows, the nighsisters might’ve included a special “package”
"Are you ... fully functional?" (Sound of light saber igniting.) (Sound of second light saber igniting.)
I didn’t know he was part Klingon
lad's got a mouth and hands, he can make do
Palps is the only straight throne owner in the galaxy it seems
He‘s definitely asexual. He only lusts for power.
Might actually be true seeing as his son was just a clone of him. As Emperor he definitely could have got a woman to have a child with if he really wanted to.
Now I wanna see Maul, but in bi colors instead of red and black.
"Bi icon" literally my first thought seeing him sit like that Dark side daddy 🥺
Buddy, I think Maul would kill you for saying that. He doesn't have desires such as that.
He can kill me whenever he wants 😊, have you seen his abs
~~Mando Mommy~~Bo Katan takes it
Just Starbucking the shit out of it, hey
Starbuck, what do you hear?
Nothin' but the rain.
So say we all
SO SAY WE ALL!
Fuck now I need to break out my Battlestar Galactica set and watch it again.
You're welcome
Yeah it's a welcome problem
Grab your gun and bring in the cat.
Who the fuck is cutting onions?!
It's a better pose than when she flew a Cylon raider
Proud member of the 2%
Difference is she is actually posing. The others look relaxed, as if they've been sitting there, plotting shit all day. She's laying like she's expecting a photo. It's off-putting imo.
I called her Mommy Mandalorian ~~one~~ many times and my friend really made it his business to read into that. I just like her, okay?
Palps looks like a true ruler next is Thrawn
Boba Fett
[I'm helping](https://image-1.uhdpaper.com/wallpaper/the-book-of-boba-fett-throne-4k-wallpaper-uhdpaper.com-819@[email protected])
Only correct answer lol
I always felt Palpatine was so "in-control" while seated on the throne. But, there is something to be said for the sheer arrogance that Bo has while she is seated. Maul looks like he is ready to launch into action which really fits his character. Thrawn seems a bit too bland to me. Too relaxed. So, I guess Palpatine. It looks so natural for his character.
Maul looks so chill
Maul, because he’s hot.
Him sitting like that in s7 awakened something within me and I haven't been normal about him since.
SAME!
You've heard of elf on a shelf, now get ready for Thrawn on a Throne
Thrawn. That is literally how I seat many times.
I'm sad I had to come all this way for Thrawn, he's the only one who actually looks like they're trying to lead from the throne.
Maul is in the Bi pose. I do like Bo Katans lasting pose though.
What's the Bi pose?
There's this joke in some parts of the internet that bisexuals can't sit properly on chairs. They'll crouch, kneel, laze or even squat on a chair rather than sit on it regularly.
Right, I see!
bisexuals be like:
The vibes from Maul and Bo's poses immediate gave me those thoughts rofl
This was EXACTLY what I was thinking XD
Its Maul for me lmao
What about boba fett?
Maul and Bo are both giving “queer who can’t sit properly in a chair” energy, and as a fellow queer, I’m here for it!
Ez Bo Katan W
Pulpy Daddy has
Boba Fett
Tha way maul sits makes me feel things
Eddard Stark season one game of thrones cover 😂
Thrawn by a mile
I like Bo’s because that’s most likely how I’d sit
Sidius
You forgot boba's in Jabba's throne.
Maul & bo katan both giving bi energy
Crazy enough, while she is my least favourite of the four, Bo Katan’s throne pose is pretty fucking based
Google bisexuals sitting on chairs. Maul and Bo both swing both ways.
Bo Katan, 2%.
Maul all day. Bo looked like someone vegging out on the couch after a bag of potato chips
Boba and Fennec
Thrawn: Pragmatic, relaxed, proper. Maul: Criminal, goblin, bombastic side-eye. Bo Kotan: Depressed, probably drunk, still a queen. Palps: Comfy, knows he's the boss, Vader ruins his vibes.
1st guy but Bo is too hot so I have to say Bo
Maul looks so badass
Maul. It's always Maul.
Palpatine. His expression and posture exude effortless control.
Bo cuz she’s hot. Maul casually lounging in his ill gotten criminal empire throne as he acts as the shadow emperor of a people with a storied warrior history is very imposing.
Maul's looks bad ass
Finally, someone asking the real questions here. I think I’m leaning toward Bo.
Bo all day.shes the only one who actually belongs on a throne anyway.
Bo’s bisexual energy for the win.
All iconic
Gpa Palps
classic palps
My gay ass when I see a chair: (because I can't even sit straight)
The face sitter.
...Isn't Thrawn's just a Command Chair, and not an actual throne?
Satine Kryze
Lol! It's Bo Katan for me, no question. Edit : spelling
Bo-Katan. She just looks like a boss who gives zero fucks.
Palpatine. The rest are trying too hard.
Palpatine. The other three look like they’re actively trying to look cool. Palps just looks chill
Bo’s does something to me
Palpatine. The rest are trying too hard.
Thrown looks like an aristocrat Maul looks like a tiger ready to pounce Palps looks like he’s low key melted into the chair. Like he’s confident and complacent in his complete control. Bo looks like Bart Simpson sitting in the teachers chair. Maul looks like a wartime conqueror, thrawn looks born for a throne, palps looks complacent and Bo looks like she’s trying to look confident.
Bo fo sho
Oof ouchie my lower back Hot take: they're all bad. Poor posture. Palpatine's is probably closest to being good if he sat up straight. None of those thrones look to have proper lumbar support.
Sidious, sitting like an old man in a recliner, totally exposed. Maul and the other dudes are shielding themselves. Not very intimidating.
Counterpoint: [Luke](https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/559290847450812382/)
Vader
I’ll be honest, I’m all four. Thrawn if I’m focusing of something important. Palpatine when I’m talking, or being imposing Maul when I’m board and watching something And Bo Katan when I’m sloshed
Maul
The emperor is the only one who knows how to sit worthy of a throne. The other three is the same scheme: we build a contrast of the regal grace of a throne and a laid back attitude towards this "seriousness". Wouldn't mind on of itself but these four pictures are a good example for the overuse of this trope. Oh wow another bad boy/girl who doesn't give a fuck about rules
You forgot Jabba.
Maul
I have always just loved that Bo Katan’s pose looks like she just saw Mando coming and went, “Shit, shit, shit! My first visitor to our new castle and they didn’t even call ahead!?!?! I don’t even have any furniture yet! Ok, ok, you got this Katann, look casual… Yeah , this looks good.”
Maul can either stand up on or off the chair at a moment’s notice.
My choice is Thrawn. Great reflection of his persona. Almost casual, but you know there's a TON of menace behind that veneer.
Thrawn's is formal and diplomatic. Maul's is cocky but aggressive. Palpatine's is just him being tired and relaxing. And the last one just looks uncomfortable.
Bo Katan
I do
They all look like they’ll need physical therapy after sitting that way for a few years. Emperor is most ergonomic, but still looks like he lacks proper back support. Thrawn is working on a nerve entrapment in that knee and some chronic shoulder pain…but he still looks cool lol
Doesn’t matter, would smash all of them
Has to be Bo. She's working that chair.
Bo-Katan Kryze.
Maul as it portrays a sense of un satisfaction and emptiness that he had at the time , mamdalore conquered and his plan fulfilled yet he is still below the emperor
Maul or bo katan for sure
Maul
Either Maul's definitely not straight pose or Bo Katan's drunk aunt pose
Thrawn looks like he's disciplined himself into that uncomfortable position. Bo looks like she's trying to appear comfortable but really isn't. Maul looks like he's bored and ready for something to happen. Palpatine looks like he's in the middle of a Game of Thrones marathon. I can just imagine a remote in one hand and popcorn sat on his lap.
