A bacta tank was a cylindrical tank into which a being could be submerged for extensive exposure to bacta, a fluid that could accelerate healing and treat major injuries.[2] Bacta tanks already existed during the Clone Wars, when the Galactic Republic used them to treat its injured soldiers.[5] After being attacked and severely injured by a wampa ice creature on the frigid planet of Hoth, Commander Luke Skywalker was put into a bacta tank so he could recover from his wounds.[7]
A bacta tank was located in Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar, where the Dark Lord would relax and meditate outside of his life support armor with a modicum of comfort.[8][11]
A portable format of the bacta tank was also available, called the bacta pod.[9] On Tatooine, Boba Fett bathed in his bacta tank at many points in time.[9][12][13] He used it to heal his burned scars.[14][15] After the battle for Mos Espa Fett's bacta tank was used on Cobb Vanth, after he was shot by Cad Bane, while a cyborg modifier was taking care of him.[16] [Reply]

Yeah...I'm not sure that Reva would have access to one. Highly unlikely she could afford one on her own, and at that point she really wasn't affiliated with any groups that likely would have given her access to one. And there's still the question of whether it could heal probable major damage to several internal organs. [Reply]

It pains me that we've become so numbed by dumb movies that we can be persuaded by maybe 20 minutes of awesome nostalgic action spread over 6 episodes, to excuse for 6hrs of absolute shit writing and character development. Similar to the latest Jurassic Park, people excuse a total shit film that actually cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce, because hey it provides a few great action moments. Hollywood is fucking dumb. [Reply]

Perhaps one of the top 3-5 scenes ever.

the 3rd act when they get to Scarif is the best “Star Wars” ever put on film. Then the surprise of seeing Luke show up kicking ass in his prime in the Mandolarian is 2nd.

Yep.
And it may be time to say it -
Disney is to Star Wars as Sony is to Marvel properties. [Reply]

And do it INSTANTLY. We're not talking about she re-emerges months later. She gets stabbed mid-torso, lungs, heart, all the good stuff right there with a big gaping hole cut through, and basically hops up and goes back on the aggressive at full strength. That wound should be instant or at the very least near-instant and total death. They just skip right over it like it didn't even happen. This show was awful. [Reply]
