The puppeteers and sound designers are KILLING me. The way Grogu gets so sad when she says he's too young to take the creed, and then gets even more sad after she says his parents are probably long dead, and then the way his eyes get SO BIG and he lights up as soon as Din Djarin says he's officially adopting him.... MY HEART!!!!!
The way the Armorer was literally like... "aaaah... if oNlY his pArEnTs were here... but they're nOT aRe They, Din DjArIn???" *intense side eyes* literally "I dare you beech, adopt your son NOW or else I'll banish you again"
Little Grogu spraying the bacta spray on Din like IG-11 did the first season in the caves to heal him. 🥹 He was going to make triple sure Dad was okay. ❤️
@@Sharonmplus I love how he knew what the spray for but not exactly when or how to use it. Like he saw Din being knocked around and was like daddy’s hurt! Must help! Like kid he’s wearing bescar and he’s taken much worse beatings. He’s fine. Though I’m sure he needed it after Gideon was beating the shit out of him like in the s2 finale.
Those Praetorian Guards these last two episodes; "Should we ominously walk out from behind these crates yet?" "No, wait for a cooler line... ok Now!" *Music plays*
With the Shadow Council last week I was just imagining a temp agency for the Praetorian Guards like…”all right guys, we got a rec for 3 of you you gotta fly all the way to Mandalore so pack your bags. DO NOT go over your per diems. DO NOT get another one of our clients killed.”
I think the Armorer is my favorite character. She's just such a badass. Smashing left and right with her hammer and tongs with her jetpack. God she's so cool.
It is cool for sure but it also bugs me that she made Din destroy his spear because 'Beskar isn't meant to be forged into weapons' yet we never see her use her 'tools' for anything other than combat.
@@Caedus696 Not True when you see her making armor she uses the hammer every time. And a Hammer is a Tool that can be used as a Weapon a SPEAR IS ONLY a weapon.
I just want to thank you guys. You're not just my go-to reactors, you're like my friends. Now everytime watch a series or a movie I'm thinking to myself "man that was sick, those 2 are going to love it" or "oh boy they're going to cry ugly with this one" Thank you for being such nice, funny and warm people. Love you guys
I just love un-subtle the Armorer was about the parent thing. Pretty much was like, "You better adopt this baby right now, Dinn!" Also, her "This is the way" was definitely "YES! FINALLY!" 😅
Lol totally. She and all the fans were like finally!!! About freaking time!!! I wasn’t expecting them to make it an official thing. It’s already been so well established. But I’m glad they confirmed it.
I think there was a scene cut during Ragnar’s baptism where Axe adopts him because Dinn’s helmet is dry as he approaches the water but then it’s covered in water
It's a little thing, but I appreciate the fact that for Gideon to have broken the saber WHILE it was in Bo's hand means he had to have broken her hand, too. To that end, Katee doesn't use her right hand again for the rest of the episode, even when lighting the forge.
Yeah people complained about that because her fingers were visibly fucked or something and I’m like “They aren’t going to show that on a family friendly show…”
Now we need a comic series about the poor mouse droid alone on the surface of Mandalor after falling off the Imperial Base and the adventures it encounters.
I was not even thinking about any of our Mandos possibly being spies. I am half convinced the show fanned the flames of those rumors/theories to ramp up tension during this episode... I'm not mad, I enjoyed it!
I love how emotional so many people, myself included, got about Din Djarin officially adopting Grogu. We all knew from season 1 that they had a father-son relationship but for them to make it official like that! 😭
Mom and Dad protecting their son, then the son protecting his Mom and Dad who were BOTH willing to sacrifice themselves for him? this is the way, they have to do it in one of the next seasons
I would like to add this comment (regarding the "who the spies are?" discussion), from a comment in Kyle Katarn's reaction video: "I saw a theory about last weeks episode "The Spies" and it's not actually intending for anyone to be a "Spy" so to speak, sure Elia Kane is the spy but "The Spies" refers to 12 Judaic spies that investigated a town for Moses to see if it were safe for them to take over or live in or whatever, 2 of the 12 spies were confident they could conquer the town the others were exaggurating that it would be impossible. The episode is and the season as a whole is essentially this re-told!"
Yeah, these guys allow the story to actually allow story to develope and not constantly try to get ahead of it with wild speculation and rumors...it gets annoying
I can’t believe some of the other reactors. They have written up a story on their own and are furious when their expectations are not met. That’s all on them! You can still have opinions and criticisms if they are valid - not because you didn’t see something YOU wanted to see.
Yeah. Everyone's gotta chill out on the perceived easter eggs, the endless speculation, and the expectations going into every single episode. Just tune in and enjoy! Whatever happens, happens. It's fun we even get this stuff in the first place.
When Grogu was looking at the Gideon clones and his little ears went down that's when I thought "Oh god it's a combination of Gideon & Grogu's Force. What horror must be going through Grogu's mind to see that horrid man as multiple clones & sense the Force (possibly sensing himself?) in it as well!". Just like the Mythosaur, the Gideon clone opened its eyes when Grogu reached out because it is connected to the Force. Love that Mando is an "independent contractor". Ellie: "CON-TRACT-OORRRRRR"
The Armorer bringing her forging tools to battles will forever be the coolest and most iconic thing to me. She's so cool. I also loved that shot of Bo holding the dark saber as they flew in. Legendary!
I like that in S1E1, The Mandalorian was introduced in an opening iris transition (saloon door opening), and S3E8, he (and Grogu) is shown in a closing iris transition.
This season has sky rocketed Bo to my second favorite Mandalorian behind Din. She’s gained so much respect from me this season and she’s a stone cold bad ass. I went into this season liking her for her combat skill and complicated history, but I wasn’t big on her ruling. And while I still stand my original position that Din would be an amazing leader if he ever felt so inclined, I now fully support Bo being Mandalor. And you know why? Because she put in the work and learned from her mistakes and earned it fair and square.
It has become my traition to watch these shows, and then log on here to see what yours are. It's nice to have someone I can laugh, cry, or cheer insanely with. Thank you so much for bringing your honest goodness into our lives. This peach is happy to be here.
I agree with you guys 20:36 …What a great season! You two are some of my absolute favorite reactors! I love how much you get into the story and how tender your hearts are as well. Keep on doing it - this is the way! I have spoken.
Something I love about Gideon's little monologue after confronting Din is that, the way he says so adamantly that his clones would have the Force just further hammers in how little people know about the Force; it's not a power the Jedi have that let's them make things float, but a cosmic energy that influences everything but of course Gideon doesn't understand that because he's so arrogant (which we see again later when he taunts Bo-Katan about how Mandalorians are nothing without their trinkets when, in actuality, they can fight with their bare hands and still come out on top)
Between the armor he was wearing, not seeing a body after the fire/explosion cleared out, and the clone tanks we have seen in other bases, I don't think this is the last we have seen of Moff Gideon
I do. They made a point of the fact that he was not the one doing the Emperor's clone research, but instead he had diverted it to his own "Darth Vader Cosplay" project. Now, "Ahsoka" can pick up that plot and give it to Thrawn and his forces going forward. Which means Gideon is no longer needed for anything.
*ALL HAIL BO-KATAN, THIS IS THE WAY!!* I’ve said for years that she could be the best ruler Mandalore has ever had, and she’s more than proven that. She was the true titular Mandalorian this season. I’m also so happy that the Mandalorians *FINALLY* have their home back but more than that, they have truly been united. And seeing the Great Forge reignited was beautiful. I still can’t believe how many people thought that one of the Mandalorians would’ve been a spy for Moff Gideon, especially The Armorer! What just because she’s mysterious, has horns on her helmet?!?! I blame the fact that the last episode was called The Spies, which was a horrible title because there has only been 1 spy and it’s Elia Kane. And as much as I love the Darksaber to death, that weapon needed to go. Weapons are an intrinsic part of their society and the Darksaber is the greatest weapon in Mandalorian history, but that is also their greatest weakness. They revered it so much that it kept them from following who they knew was the right leader for their people and going with the “rightful” owner of that blade. In order for them to move forward it needed to go. Also, all I have wanted was for Din and Grogu, (I’m sorry, Din Grogu) to find a nice, peaceful and beautiful place to relax and call home. And all the frogs to play with/eat.
I totally agree. My only complaints were how the dark saber was destroyed and no mithosaur. And a few smaller things but whatever. I’m glad the dark saber’s gone. It was way more trouble than it’s worth. It just seemed weird because one minute Gideon’s like give it to me. Then Bo goes full ROTJ Luke and next he’s crushing it and probably breaking her poor hand. But I absolutely loved Din finally adopting Grogu. I hope he and Bo meet up regularly. He did promise to serve her and she’ll miss Grogu. And Din too I’m sure ;). Also Bo wouldn’t be where she is now if it wasn’t for Din. What an arc! Her journey was my favorite part of this season. I also think the Spies was a misleading title. I’m glad none of the Mandos betrayed anyone.
@@madelinegarber7860 - I had assumed the “spies” in question were the members of the shadow council. They are literally spying for the Empire on the planets they live on.
I'm honestly surprised nobody mentioned the fact that they only had 2 troopers "escorting" Din off to the "debriefing room". Like, someone literally must have said : "Bob. Frank. The two of you, ALONE, drag this incredibly deadly super-soldier to the torture chamber. Alone. JUST THE TWO OF YOU. Because surely he will not resist or escape as you DRAG HIM TO THE TORTURE CHAMBER. Ok? Good, get going. Chop-chop."
I love how everyone gets a happy ending. The Mandalorians got their home back, Djarin and Grogu have their own place and is officially father and son now. Now I just want to see them go on random adventures!
I think destroying the dark saber ties into Din and the Children of the watch following her for who she is inside and not some special trophy It's about moving forward
You guys give some of the best reactions and react a lot like I do! Great to know the meaning of "The Spies" is a biblical reference and makes so much sense now! And now Grogu is a Mandalorian Apprentice and Din's son, I love the way he walks by Din's side. He can walk around by himself, confidently. We don't see him in his floating crib anymore, nor does he need IG-12. Also, he stands on the steps in Nevarro and Greef Karga addresses him by name which he didn't at the beginning of the season and Mando had to remind Greef that his name was Grogu. He plays with the frog but doesn't eat it, because he is not hungry like he was before. He is safe and home and growing up. Finally, I know there is a lot of criticism of Season 3, but I see it as part of a trilogy. The final episode is titled "The Return", and could parallel with "The Return of The Jedi" film. I am already watching the whole three seasons from the beginning and I am sure there will be a great deal of insight to gain. I can hardly wait for the next trilogy (Seasons 4, 5 & 6) of The Mandalorian. I hope we see Din Grogu on top of the Mythosaur!
Did anybody else notice that Dave Filoni in Season 1 seemed like your normal low rank Rebel/ New Republic Pilot and here they made him a fricking GENERAL (5 Round Shapes on his Rank Plate)? Kinda fittingly...
Current theory is that this is the end of the "Gideon saga" and Season 4 will be after a significant timeskip and the beginning of a new saga, possibly the "Thrawn Saga". After that, I expect the Droid Saga, followed by the Cell Games.
"You know what the Mask means to my people. Without it we are lost, vagabonds wandering the galaxy without a purpose. Recovering the Mask could be the key to restoring Mandalorian honor-and power. Whoever finds it will be hailed as the new leader of the clans. Mandalore will rise again, and the Mandalorians will follow." so that could be a thing
Couple of comment response: Re: Vizla, his armor was Beskar, but the Guard stabbed him in gaps in the armor: Low and behind into the abdomen from behind, back of the knee, and finally down through the collar into his vital organs. Din just wasn't as exhausted as Vizla, so he was better able to react and keep his armor in the way. Re: Gideon sounding like he had servos backing his movements, of course. Phase 3 Darktrooper is still built like a droid, but also wearable as armor. It WAS enhancing his movements and strength.
The only thing missing from this perfect episode was Bo sitting next to Jarin on his patio at the end "are you gonna take that helmet off?!" "This is the way!" 😒
I mean you guys are 100% right about the Darksaber Ahsoka tie in. The Ahsoka trailer literally had Huyang in it. He has been helping younglings make lightsabers since at least a couple 100 years before Yoda made his (I don't think it has said exactly how old he is). That said just because we saw the 1000+ year old lightsaber making droid doesn't mean that is where we are going. As much as I like the Darksaber the Mandalorian obsession with such things is part of what has divided them. It would be pretty poetic after all her concerns if Bo-Katan manages to lead them without it.
15:39- Actually Moff Gideon did die, because there's one thing you didn't notice Adam due to what was happening. Grogu had his hand out and for some odd reason Gideon didn't use his jetpack to escape when he had the chance and I think there's only one explanation: Grogu used the Force to hold the Moff in place so he couldn't escape, and while his suit does enhance his strength and durability, it doesn't cover the entire body and the intense heat from the explosion is more than enough to cook him alive as the metal is superheated which the same would've happened to Din and Bo if Grogu wasn't with them.
Hey Peaches, when I watched the finale early this morn I just knew you guys wouldn't disappoint on this one. It's been a great 3rd season, thanks for letting us tag along.
I love that you guys haven't been part of the hate train for this season. Its been clear from episode two that this would basically be a movie split into eight parts. If all the episodes had dropped at once and we could have just binged it I'm thinking there would have been less whinging. I'm looking forward to rewatching it without the weekly waits.
I'm honestly hoping we don't see that thing again until Grogu is ready to take his place as a Mandalorian-Jedi. And make it out of Beskar, for Force's sake.
@@griffinsummoner I think the hilt WAS made of beskar but it's a casing, not a solid block. Gideon's mech suit had servo motors to enhance his strength, allowing him to crush Bo-Katan's hand along with the hilt, thus shorting out the circuitry of the Darksaber.
@@Lupin788 The only reason I question that is because we've never seen Beskar even dent, even when taking heavy impacts, which makes me doubt even the Phase3 Darktrooper suit would have that kind of strength, especially with only the hand.
I NEED more Mandolorian not ready to say goodbye but this episode was SO GOOD I was on the edge of my seat I was like jumping so much and then Din adopting Grogu as his son! my heart this was just AN AMAZING EPISODE I HAVE LOVED this whole scene I cannot wait for more
I personally think that the loss of the darksaber is a good thing. It has been the main issue with who is gonna lead . This objet has torn them apart for centuries. Now that this "cursed symbol" is gone, they can focus on being one people, one clan.
I'm still processing this episode. As a rollercoaster ride it had it all, with shades of Episodes 4, 5 and 6 all rolled into one. The season 2 conclusion blew people's minds because of Luke arriving, with a cliffhanger ending which was awesome, but this felt like a more emotionally rounded and satisfying conclusion to a chapter.
Glad you loved the season as much as I did. It was really about Mandalore. Great reaction. I loved the way the Armorer said "this is the way" for the adoption. She's the one that told him to take care of Grogu in season 1. Also maybe there's 1 clone out there... a prototype if you will?
"The Return" was obviously a reference to Axe Woves returning Moff Gideon's light cruiser to him, cuz he's considerate like that.
That was nice of him. Delivered right to his door
@@pReviewd No charge for the flames even
😂 Delivered hot and fast.
Only slightly dinged.
And with special effects! What a nice man he is
The puppeteers and sound designers are KILLING me. The way Grogu gets so sad when she says he's too young to take the creed, and then gets even more sad after she says his parents are probably long dead, and then the way his eyes get SO BIG and he lights up as soon as Din Djarin says he's officially adopting him.... MY HEART!!!!!
I know! He was like yaaayy! Finally!
I wish we could confirm who his parents are and if they are who we think they are........ where is Ahsoka or Luke when you need them!
@@rockrollangel1972 why would ashoka and Luke know anything about Yodas past let alone a lover no he's not from Yoda and Yaddle dumbaas
The way the Armorer was literally like... "aaaah... if oNlY his pArEnTs were here... but they're nOT aRe They, Din DjArIn???" *intense side eyes* literally "I dare you beech, adopt your son NOW or else I'll banish you again"
She said they’re far from here… does she know where his home planet is?
Little Grogu spraying the bacta spray on Din like IG-11 did the first season in the caves to heal him. 🥹 He was going to make triple sure Dad was okay. ❤️
Lol I know right? He’s like you OK? You sure? Let me spray you a little more to make absolutely sure. Too precious.
It's something a child would do to try to care for their parents and I loved it.
It's like Tony in Iron Man 1, when the robot keeps trying to extinguish a non existing fire on Tony.
@@SoupyUnicycle lol exactly.
@@Sharonmplus I love how he knew what the spray for but not exactly when or how to use it. Like he saw Din being knocked around and was like daddy’s hurt! Must help!

I'm so happy the armorer wasn't a spy. This episode had me on my toes the entire time. Thank you Filoni and Favreau.
I was not even thinking about any of our Mandos possibly being spies. I am half convinced the show fanned the flames of those rumors/theories to ramp up tension during this episode... I'm not mad, I enjoyed it!
Here's a theory. It is Grogu who will take the mythosaur, and from day 1, it is Grogu who is The Mandalorian
The mouse droids gently nudging R5 was hilarious
I love how emotional so many people, myself included, got about Din Djarin officially adopting Grogu. We all knew from season 1 that they had a father-son relationship but for them to make it official like that! 😭
And that is why Grogu left Luke. He knew where he belonged
Dude I was bawling when Grogu saved Din and Bo in the flames and I don’t even know why.
Brought me back to s1. Din’s no! When the door closed separating them kinda broke me.
Mom and Dad protecting their son, then the son protecting his Mom and Dad who were BOTH willing to sacrifice themselves for him?
this is the way, they have to do it in one of the next seasons
We are Groot.
SAME!
For me it was because it made me think of Rebels
JOhn Favrou has said there will be a season 4. He just said recently he has written the scripts and it will film this fall.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that got a little emotional when Grogu Force shielded Din and Bo, and when he got adopted.
I would like to add this comment (regarding the "who the spies are?" discussion), from a comment in Kyle Katarn's reaction video:

They don't need the darksabre anymore. That scene with Din and Bo in a previous episode taught Bo its not the sword, but the character of the leader.

I do. They made a point of the fact that he was not the one doing the Emperor's clone research, but instead he had diverted it to his own "Darth Vader Cosplay" project. Now, "Ahsoka" can pick up that plot and give it to Thrawn and his forces going forward. Which means Gideon is no longer needed for anything.
*ALL HAIL BO-KATAN, THIS IS THE WAY!!* I’ve said for years that she could be the best ruler Mandalore has ever had, and she’s more than proven that. She was the true titular Mandalorian this season. I’m also so happy that the Mandalorians *FINALLY* have their home back but more than that, they have truly been united. And seeing the Great Forge reignited was beautiful. I still can’t believe how many people thought that one of the Mandalorians would’ve been a spy for Moff Gideon, especially The Armorer! What just because she’s mysterious, has horns on her helmet?!?! I blame the fact that the last episode was called The Spies, which was a horrible title because there has only been 1 spy and it’s Elia Kane.
And as much as I love the Darksaber to death, that weapon needed to go. Weapons are an intrinsic part of their society and the Darksaber is the greatest weapon in Mandalorian history, but that is also their greatest weakness. They revered it so much that it kept them from following who they knew was the right leader for their people and going with the “rightful” owner of that blade. In order for them to move forward it needed to go.
Also, all I have wanted was for Din and Grogu, (I’m sorry, Din Grogu) to find a nice, peaceful and beautiful place to relax and call home. And all the frogs to play with/eat.
I totally agree. My only complaints were how the dark saber was destroyed and no mithosaur. And a few smaller things but whatever. I’m glad the dark saber’s gone. It was way more trouble than it’s worth. It just seemed weird because one minute Gideon’s like give it to me. Then Bo goes full ROTJ Luke and next he’s crushing it and probably breaking her poor hand. But I absolutely loved Din finally adopting Grogu. I hope he and Bo meet up regularly. He did promise to serve her and she’ll miss Grogu. And Din too I’m sure ;). Also Bo wouldn’t be where she is now if it wasn’t for Din. What an arc! Her journey was my favorite part of this season. I also think the Spies was a misleading title. I’m glad none of the Mandos betrayed anyone.
How many more reaction channels are you going to post this comment on?? Haha😂😝 I do agree with you about the dark saber though. 👍🏼
@@madelinegarber7860 - I had assumed the “spies” in question were the members of the shadow council. They are literally spying for the Empire on the planets they live on.
I like that the Mandalorians didn"t need an "outsider", who ever that might have heen, to reclaim their homeworld, they did it alone by themself
The fandom collectively rejoiced when Din officially adopted Grogu. He also is the star wars version of John Wick. Mandalorian Baba Yaga.
I'm honestly surprised nobody mentioned the fact that they only had 2 troopers "escorting" Din off to the "debriefing room".
Like, someone literally must have said : "Bob. Frank. The two of you, ALONE, drag this incredibly deadly super-soldier to the torture chamber. Alone. JUST THE TWO OF YOU. Because surely he will not resist or escape as you DRAG HIM TO THE TORTURE CHAMBER. Ok? Good, get going. Chop-chop."
Poor Bob and Frank lol
Axe pulling off a Starkiller move like in The Force Unleashed 2 at Kamino was chef's kiss 👌
In regards to the Dark Saber, as long as the Kyber crystal is intact, it can probably be reforged. If it shattered, then RIP to a real one.
Are you just giving Jon and Dave a reason to make a story arc about Bo going to Illum?? I'd watch it.
@@PhogofWar You mean the planet that would end up being Starkiller base?
@@PhogofWar I mean, Huyang is in Ahsoka, might try to ask him
I love how everyone gets a happy ending. The Mandalorians got their home back, Djarin and Grogu have their own place and is officially father and son now.
Now I just want to see them go on random adventures!
I smell uncle Boba will have a say on that
I love how you tear up when mando adopts grogu🥰 warm-hearted nerds rule!
I think destroying the dark saber ties into Din and the Children of the watch following her for who she is inside and not some special trophy
It's about moving forward
You guys give some of the best reactions and react a lot like I do! Great to know the meaning of "The Spies" is a biblical reference and makes so much sense now! And now Grogu is a Mandalorian Apprentice and Din's son, I love the way he walks by Din's side. He can walk around by himself, confidently. We don't see him in his floating crib anymore, nor does he need IG-12. Also, he stands on the steps in Nevarro and Greef Karga addresses him by name which he didn't at the beginning of the season and Mando had to remind Greef that his name was Grogu. He plays with the frog but doesn't eat it, because he is not hungry like he was before. He is safe and home and growing up. Finally, I know there is a lot of criticism of Season 3, but I see it as part of a trilogy. The final episode is titled "The Return", and could parallel with "The Return of The Jedi" film. I am already watching the whole three seasons from the beginning and I am sure there will be a great deal of insight to gain. I can hardly wait for the next trilogy (Seasons 4, 5 & 6) of The Mandalorian. I hope we see Din Grogu on top of the Mythosaur!
Did anybody else notice that Dave Filoni in Season 1 seemed like your normal low rank Rebel/ New Republic Pilot and here they made him a fricking GENERAL (5 Round Shapes on his Rank Plate)? Kinda fittingly...
"I need my knife! There are so many more Brians here!"🤣🤣
Axe standing next to Paz's son at the end, was wonderful to see.
FOR MANDOLORE!!!
Grogu started with one protect in the form of a Mandalorian...Now he has a whole army that would protect him.
So glad you guys enjoyed the season. Seen a lot of people being really harsh with the show recently and you guys give me hope ❤
I honestly would be okay with this as a series finale. I WANT MORE, but this episode had really good finality to it.
*_Season 4 has been confirmed!_*
Current theory is that this is the end of the "Gideon saga" and Season 4 will be after a significant timeskip and the beginning of a new saga, possibly the "Thrawn Saga". After that, I expect the Droid Saga, followed by the Cell Games.
I was thinking season 4 would have a time skip/jump also. Maybe 10yrs? Maybe DinGrogu even talks then
@@BravoDox 😂
"You know what the Mask means to my people. Without it we are lost, vagabonds wandering the galaxy without a purpose. Recovering the Mask could be the key to restoring Mandalorian honor-and power. Whoever finds it will be hailed as the new leader of the clans. Mandalore will rise again, and the Mandalorians will follow." so that could be a thing
Jay getting so pumped up by the Mando's rallying every time that he gets emotional is pure Star Wars magic.
Couple of comment response:
Re: Vizla, his armor was Beskar, but the Guard stabbed him in gaps in the armor: Low and behind into the abdomen from behind, back of the knee, and finally down through the collar into his vital organs. Din just wasn't as exhausted as Vizla, so he was better able to react and keep his armor in the way.
Re: Gideon sounding like he had servos backing his movements, of course. Phase 3 Darktrooper is still built like a droid, but also wearable as armor. It WAS enhancing his movements and strength.
the armorer is just serving up THA CRONCH ! left and right !
so many youtubers owe the Armorer an apology for calling her out as a spy...
For real, she was just putting the needs of Mandalore above her own
The only thing missing from this perfect episode was Bo sitting next to Jarin on his patio at the end "are you gonna take that helmet off?!"
"This is the way!" 😒
I'm glad I'm not the only one that got emotional when Din adopted Grogu
Did you notice Ragnar standing by Axe Woves at the end? I wonder if Axe is going to take him under his wing now that Paz is gone.
I dunno, beskar or not, I doubt it would stop him being cooked inside the suit by that much flaming heat. I reckon he is toast, literally.
I've never shouted and cheered for an episode like that this season, great episode!!
I saw STAR WARS in 1977, 5 times😂 I saved my allowance for cutting the grass and keeping my room clean.😃
Thank you guys for your always positive take on the content! Love your reactions ❤❤
I mean you guys are 100% right about the Darksaber Ahsoka tie in. The Ahsoka trailer literally had Huyang in it. He has been helping younglings make lightsabers since at least a couple 100 years before Yoda made his (I don't think it has said exactly how old he is). That said just because we saw the 1000+ year old lightsaber making droid doesn't mean that is where we are going. As much as I like the Darksaber the Mandalorian obsession with such things is part of what has divided them. It would be pretty poetic after all her concerns if Bo-Katan manages to lead them without it.
Really hope Mando holds onto the super commando pistol, they sound SO damn beefy and hot super hard going by what it did to the Pretorian guards armor
The scene where Grogu shields Din and Bo resonated with me. I got really emotional.
15:39- Actually Moff Gideon did die, because there's one thing you didn't notice Adam due to what was happening. Grogu had his hand out and for some odd reason Gideon didn't use his jetpack to escape when he had the chance and I think there's only one explanation: Grogu used the Force to hold the Moff in place so he couldn't escape, and while his suit does enhance his strength and durability, it doesn't cover the entire body and the intense heat from the explosion is more than enough to cook him alive as the metal is superheated which the same would've happened to Din and Bo if Grogu wasn't with them.
I love you two. Y’all make me feel emotions to the show that I didn’t feel when I watched it on my own
Jay you are the only person who teared up as much as I did in this episode!
I’m completely obsessed with the aggressive button push here 12:39
Absolutely love y’all’s outlook on this show and season, I’ll always continue to sub and support this channel. Hope everyone stays happy and healthy
Favreau said weeks ago that he’s already finished writing season 4
There's such a cohesive theme of family and home this season and it's so beautiful
Hey Peaches, when I watched the finale early this morn I just knew you guys wouldn't disappoint on this one. It's been a great 3rd season, thanks for letting us tag along.
this ending was so wholesome. makes me rly excited to see where starwars goes next. leading up to the force awakens.
I love that you guys haven't been part of the hate train for this season. Its been clear from episode two that this would basically be a movie split into eight parts. If all the episodes had dropped at once and we could have just binged it I'm thinking there would have been less whinging. I'm looking forward to rewatching it without the weekly waits.
Dave and Jon have done so well to market this to parents and children. I can’t wait for our kids to see this.
My favorite part was Bo-Katan vs Moff Gideon. I’m sad that she lost the dark saber, but she got to unleash her inner rage.
She could get it mended by huyang who is appearing in the ashoka series unless the armourer can also fix it
I'm honestly hoping we don't see that thing again until Grogu is ready to take his place as a Mandalorian-Jedi. And make it out of Beskar, for Force's sake.
@@griffinsummoner I think the hilt WAS made of beskar but it's a casing, not a solid block. Gideon's mech suit had servo motors to enhance his strength, allowing him to crush Bo-Katan's hand along with the hilt, thus shorting out the circuitry of the Darksaber.
@@Lupin788 The only reason I question that is because we've never seen Beskar even dent, even when taking heavy impacts, which makes me doubt even the Phase3 Darktrooper suit would have that kind of strength, especially with only the hand.
Missed opportunity to have the mouse Droid scream like a tie fighter as it fell.
The fact that Axe’s jet pack had enough fuel to reach the fleet bothered me at first as well. But the fleet was not in orbit, merely above the clouds.
I quite like Bo-Katan having her "shield" up to protect them and slowly realizing it's doing nothing.
7:43 The red barriers scene reminds me of Batman fight challenges in the Arkham series.
Gideon's armor probably survived the fire but Gideon is a crispy critter.
I NEED more Mandolorian not ready to say goodbye but this episode was SO GOOD I was on the edge of my seat I was like jumping so much and then Din adopting Grogu as his son! my heart this was just AN AMAZING EPISODE I HAVE LOVED this whole scene I cannot wait for more
I personally think that the loss of the darksaber is a good thing.
It has been the main issue with who is gonna lead .
This objet has torn them apart for centuries.
Now that this "cursed symbol" is gone, they can focus on being one people, one clan.
I'm still processing this episode. As a rollercoaster ride it had it all, with shades of Episodes 4, 5 and 6 all rolled into one. The season 2 conclusion blew people's minds because of Luke arriving, with a cliffhanger ending which was awesome, but this felt like a more emotionally rounded and satisfying conclusion to a chapter.
They need to find someone to help rebuild the dark saber... and Huyang was in the Ahsoka trailer :o
That shot where the cruiser is falling down to the planet reminds my of the moon from majoras mask haha huge impending threat
"Welcome to the cool zone at six flags" LLLMMMAAAOOOO
always enjoy watching a star war wtih you guys. it's always fun. i too was welling up the entire time so jay makes me feel so seen.
Glad you loved the season as much as I did. It was really about Mandalore. Great reaction. I loved the way the Armorer said "this is the way" for the adoption. She's the one that told him to take care of Grogu in season 1.
Also maybe there's 1 clone out there... a prototype if you will?
