This is a plothole? And not a fact that every other boss is magically alive and appearing everywhere even when we know hero from episodes killed them? CIU doesn’t have a story and it can never have given current gameplay.
It’s the same entity. Story or not, it’s a fact these ‘two’ bosses are basically one boss. And either one of them has to go or become different from the other.
If the former event takes place, there’s plenty of good boss concepts that could replace the variant of Mother-Hen Ship that’d be gone.
What other bosses? I’m not talking about continuity here. I’m talking about these “two” bosses being the same entity. It’s like having the CI2 military chick along with CI5 and CIU’s military chick.
That doesn’t count. The different types of Space Crabs exist due to difficulty variation, and they’re not exactly the same entity either. Like I said, they’re variants. However it was never elaborated what the two MHSs would be in relation to each other. And if you were to say “variants”, I’d be quick to disagree. Boss variants in CIU don’t have completely different battles.
Like you yourself said, CIU is a spinoff. And that’s not my problem at all. My problem, explained pretty well by Kylo-Hen in his post too, is that the two are one.
Actually, is there any canon proof of that? I always assumed that after the Authentic Hero destroyed the original Mother-Hen Ship, the Henpire simply iterated on the design and built another one (and then did that again in CI4).
And I don’t think that the Egg Cannon version even counts, because the first to Mother Hen ships clearly had metal shells underneath. That one’s obviously a (very cheap) remake. Idk about the CI3 on tho. Wasn’t there some theory about the Yok-Star being made from the remains of the CI2 Mother-Hen Ship?
Maybe, if that is the case (and I’m not a huge fan of that explanation, we’re pulling a Rise of Skywalker-level of “no, it’s back”) then it could be elaborating in the Chick-o-pedia when that gets added.
Yes, but that’s different because it’s an intentional gag. The first time the hero blows it up he’s all like “Yay” and Hen Solo just totally deflates him with “nah, it’ll survive” even as the wreckage is drifting right past.
The Mother Hen ship isn’t that. It’s a nostalgic reference that’s been played off multiple times in different games, and now different interpretations of that reference have all coincided in CIU.
