Boba Fett Episode 5 BREAKDOWN FINALLY PREQUELS

We start right out of the gate with Mando collecting a Bounty, and I don’t think he’s doing it for money. I think he’s doing it for information.
Obviously information on where the armorer is. So Mando pulls up, does the whole I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold thing which was epic to hear, and he takes them out not with his blasters but with the freaking dark sober. So he still has it and didn’t give it up to Bo Katan. I wonder how she left him, because obviously she wanted it and was ready to fight him for it by trial by combat.
Mando fights them but not very well. It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to use the dark saber mainly due to its weight. The sober is an ancient weapon, not like a typical lightsaber. It obviously holds different properties that regular lightsabers don’t possess, perhaps the crystal has dark matter like a viewer mentioned during the watch party, perhaps it requires one to learn how to use it by becoming one with the blade, either way, we know he has trouble using the blade, and I think he’s going to get help from Luke Skywalker in the next episode on how to fight with a lightsaber. A scene, I think we all want to see.
Din takes them out, and he leaves with the head of his bounty. Might I add, this scene was super dark and gruesome, I was surprised it was allowed with Disney and all. I was happy to see some realism with a lightsaber once again. The ring is like the ring from the old republic near Telos. Also it’s like Halo.
Din delivers his bounty and is told the location of the armorer, where we see her in a meditative position. She’s probably the most stoic mandalorian I’ve ever seen.
He gets patched up by Paz Viszla, this is the mandalorian who helped him in season 1 on nevarro. He is a descendant of house Vizsla.
Din shows the dark sober to them ,and the armorer asks to examine it. Giving us a ton of explanations on mandalorian culture and mandalore. We learn the hilt is of a higher grade of beskar which makes me wonder if there are different grades of Beskar, are some better than others? She tells him that the ruler of this blade rules all of Mandalore, nothing new there, but then she explains a character that is so important to mandalorian lore and that’s Tarre Vizsla. He was a mandalorian Jedi and the first to wield this blade 1000 years ago. She also mentions how if one comes to possess this blade without a proper trial by combat, then a curse will be set upon mandalore and its people.
The armorer acknowledges that the Mandalorian has completed his quest of reuniting grogu with his kind and the Jedi, and so she allows him to join her enclave.
We learn Moff Gideon wasn’t killed, but he was sent to the new republic to face trial. His story isn’t done yet, so we’ll probably see him again in mandalorian season 3.
The Armorer tells of the mandalorian who rides the mythosaur who will rise to lead the mandalorians from the songs of eons past. Now in the Christmas special, Boba rode a mythosdaur and this is what he alluded to in Boba Fett episode 3 when he tells the rancor keeper he’s ridden much bigger. Boba also has a mythosaur on his armor so could this mean that Boba will rise to run all mandalorians like his father once did and Jaster Mereel before him?

This was such a great episode. The callbacks to the PT and OT really created such a linear feeling with the story of Star Wars as a whole. I loved seeing Mandalore and seeing Din's struggle with the dark saber. I wonder if it has different properties entirely from a regular lightsaber. I hope Luke will teach him how to properly duel in episode 6!
While there was no Boba in this, I hope they start to make Boba more like Din in the coming episodes and maybe seasons.
What did you think of the ep?!
I thought it was brilliant, it's good that he isn't proficient immediately with the darksaber as well, kinda maintains the mystique and image of the lightsaber being a weapon for force users specifically, especially liked that he filleted his own leg as well, that was a cool detail.
Or make Boba more like Boba lol.
Just great star wars. Traiditon, action, humor, sliced body parts, droids, Tatooine rooster, Prequels, Eastereggs, aaah! 😂
His struggles with the Dark Saber feeling heavy was reminiscent of Kanan teaching Sabine how to wield it. As time went on Sabine noted how "The blade feels lighter" and then Kanan answered with "you're connecting with it".
Definitely has different properties than a regular Lightsaber. Though the Jedi do have to connect to their individual Kyber crystals... this is different, each user must connect themselves fully to the whole blade.
Imagine if they gave us a flash back of jango telling young boba something meaningful right before he jets into the arena and dies. Like " after this we are gonna move on from this life of being just guns for hire". It would give that whole scene in attack of the clones so much more weight and just overall tragedy. Boba ended up just a clone of jango not only literally but a clone copy in the way that he lived his life (the deadliest killer/ bounty hunter in the galaxy) he even almost died like his father. Working for a person as hired muscle during an execution of a Skywalker gone bad on a desert planet jumping towards violence like a hot head. Even with the tuskens he was still jango solving every problem with violence. He sees bikers he kills them and steals their bikes. He sees the pike train he kills them and steals their stuff and extorts them for money. This behavior ends up getting the closest thing He's had to family killed like it got his father killed. He's learning how his old way of doing things is destroying his life so he's changing. He's becoming his own person. More than just jango Fett 2. Just some thoughts I think would be cool if they explore. One love theory! Keep killing it
When he was given the Naboo Starfighter, I almost thought it was Grievous's bomber before the reveal. Then podracer and Y-wing for a split second when she removed the covers.
Same
Same wtf
Me too haha
thats exaclty what I thought!!
Dude same lmao
So why can’t we have this director do an entire show with one consistent vision. This episode stands out. I want more of it
Other previous episodes feels disjointed
@@nyle5280 Yea the other episodes felt kinda campy and cheap compared to this one. Dallas’s direction stood out compared to the other directors for sure
@@Kenji-fm8kf Facts. This episode is my favourite. The best episode and Boba ain’t in it. Kinda worries me. TBOBF has been Meh. Can easily fit four episodes into one. Got me wishing it was a mando season 3 instead.
This episode was frickin badass
I had chills when he took the test flight
@@ArtVandelayOfficial BatChest
Friend: “How was Book of Boba Chapter 5?”
Me: “Wizard”
Woah, didn’t expect to see you here, old friend.
"Yeah Mandolorian Season 3 Episode 1 was great thanks."
E
"Now this is podracing! woohoo"
a surpirse to be sure but a welcome one
This episode is the standard; tons of call backs and Easter eggs, well written , well acted. Howard should get an entire show to do bc her episodes are amazing !!!!
Jon favreau writes the episodes. All the Easter eggs were Jon.
@@janirobe She got the actors to give good performances.
I love the long scenes of Mando just commuting in the Star Wars Universe. It really feels like it’s a fleshed out, living, thriving world
@gothhhhh yes it's a generic scene in any sci-fi, but it's star wars so ig that makes it cooler 🤷♂️
The ringworld scenes had Star Citizen vibes to me
Checking the Dark Saber in baggage was hilarious.
Kanan explains it in Rebels about the increased weight of the Darksaber: "Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power. Your thoughts, your actions, they become energy. They flow through the crystal as well, and become a part of the blade."
Thank you for the insight because if that’s the case, it would make a lot of sense why Mando isn’t using it at 100% because mentally, he’s not at 100%. We can eee very clearly he misses Grogu And there’s things reminding him, so we can tell his kid has really been on his mind. He feels like a piece of himself is missing, so maybe when him and Grogu reunite , the saber will be a lot more weightless, because the weight on his shoulders is taken off.
Maybe Boba will teach Din what he learned from the Tuskins?
@@stephenbreen7570 You gotta become one with the blade, like a bantha.
@@mateo10734 well the guy he took the Dark Sabre from had no trouble at all wielding it. He even cut his ship open with it. He had little to no warrior skills. So what's that all about?
@@GuyNamedSean 😂😂
The Book of Boba Fett Episode 5 feels more like a Prequel to Mandalorian season 3. Kinda feels weird not having Boba, but seeing Mando again is quite surprising and a joy.
@@newhybrid101 found the troll
@@newhybrid101 L
This episode definitely felt like a Mando season 2.5 special episode
@@newhybrid101 ratio
@@sohotimhot752 we're here for star wars not bunny girls doing weird kinky shit
This episode was everything we all wanted. We got more in depth lore into the Star Wars universe, we got to see Mando, we got some good action, we got cool ships and awesome sound effects, and implications into the greater Star Wars story as a whole. So happy with this, and I hope they do more things like this in the future
This was essentially an episode of The Mandelorian
@@cynicalstring5614 Haha yup. It was so good though I didnt even really care lol
It was an amazing episode !! Loved it !!!
I also love how the Armorer says "it's all now part of Legends" when talking about the Mythosaur. Very funny
Even though the Mythosaur is canon. Quiil (the Ugnaught in season 1) talked about them.
@@moviemaniacdjp yeah but that was the point, the beasts are just Legends at this point, both as myths in modern times and also a wink to the old EU
They’re planting the seeds. Expect a Mythosaur in s3 of Mando.
I think it is more a reference to the old Canon (now Legends) where Boba Fett becomes Mand'alor and brinks them back to glory.
@@lapisinfernalis9052 yeah that's what I meant
I think Star Wars should stay doing series for now, it makes the universe grow, and you can tell they're having fun making them, with so many nostalgic things mixed with new things is beautiful 😍
That's how I've felt about Star Wars for a while now. The universe is so expansive that it seems better suited to TV/comic/book series and video games than a 2 hour movie.
@@Packman4444 yeah but they aren’t stopping shows any time soon
That copy and paste tho
Nostalgia is their only way of capturing the audience really now. When they start taking backlash for things all they do is throw in some nostalgia like a trap card.
I approve this message
This episode was incredible. Some of the best Star Wars in a long time.. they actually let the show breathe and let you experience the universe
Bryce needs her own trilogy. She’s a phenomenal director.
plot twist, jawas are Ewoks in disguise
My only criticism of the episode was how great it was, it makes you think they’re purposely undermining boba fetts dominance and power
The Mandalorian show was basically the "not Boba Fett" Boba Fett show everyone wanted, a bounty hunter in mandalorian armor. Now everyone is more excited just to see Mando in the Boba Fett show than actually seeing Boba Fett lol.
Agreed. This was a great episode. But I feel its taking the spotlight away from Boba Fett, the name sake of this show. This episode felt like it belonged more for Mandelorian S3.
@@Kanglar That's because Mando adopted Boba's archetype and Boba became something else. People want the character of Boba and Boba has changed to be something else.
@@titaniumknight8683 haha yeah i was joking to my wife that they just released an episode from mando s3 because they completely dropped the ball with boba
It was a great episode but you wouldn't even be able to tell that it's part of The Book Of Boba Fett if there was no title anywhere in the episode.
The heaviness of the Darksaber harkened back to Sabine and Kanan's training sessions, how she commented on how the blade was getting lighter, and Kanan responded it was due to her connecting with it.
It's pretty cool how trying to wield it by strength has the opposite effect.
@@Flippokid What about Maul though? He wielded it with strength yet he has no problem using the blade.
That was awesome because earlier that day I was watching that episode for the first time. So I noticed it right away when he was struggling with it.
@@FreezeFun maybe using the dark side negates the effect🤷
@@FreezeFun probably because he already knows how to use a lightsaber and has used them for a long time
Jon favreau as paz vizsla was absolutely amazing, seeing an energy shield and live action was such an amazing feeling!
Was it John actually playing him or just voicing like in mando?
@@KingLouis420th This is something I’d like to know as well
jon*
@@KingLouis420th credits are unclear. It sounds like him, but its credited to a stunt double. He wrote it, and he dose like putting himself into his productions.
funny, as he also voiced pre visla in TCW
I love how back in Phantom Menace Anakin says "now this is podracing" whilst flying a Naboo starship. Now Mando is flying a Naboo starship around the same podracing track that started the whole saga
I know right, Perfect. I wonder if they planned this or if they even realize it.
"that started the whole saga"
Daaamn that hurts... That actually hurts a lot.
Nice catch and call back!
I think we won't see Mando till the season finale, after he visits Grogu, and that story will be told in Mando's new season.
I never thought of that but I bet that's it
Yes i thought this too
Yeah! Because if we would follow mando in the next episode, then i isn't about Bobba. So i think your right!
This makes more sense, but would be nice to see Grogu once again.
So you mean the episode after next lol… ok
I don't think we are going to see Luke or Grogu in this series, since there is a pending war between Boba and Pike syndicate and only two episodes to go, showing Luke and Grogu would steal the spotlight from Boba. If there is a chance to see them it will be at the end of the series and even in a post credit scene, at the end of the day the series is about the crime lords fighting to keep the power.
Yeah, I'm guessing they will use this as af space for the mandalorian. Din will likely be back next ep after his visit, and we'll have to wait to see what actually went on.
Agreed
apparently thrawn is in the show at some point...
This episode was better than all the other episodes of BoBF...Too late for the upping!
Naw that(this episode) wAs a setup for the mandalorian season 3 but also used for history and boba new allies
I genuinely feel like this episode captured the essence of what starwars is. The action and emotion with all of the lore blend to create the best episode of all the live action shows
I love Book of Boba.. I've been a fan. But this episode reminded me of how invested I was in Mando. I teared up here. I love it to a level that is not cool. I loved every single second of film and had a smile that didn't leave my face the entire episode. Mando will save SW. He IS the way.
@@newhybrid101 thank u like.
I would'nt say this episode captured the essence of Star Wars. There was a lot of easter eggs sure, and I really enjoyed it. It connected to everything in the Universe yes. But I loved the Tusken and the Sand too from the first episodes. The entire Book of Boba Fett is amazing I think.
@@thesnail89110 I have loved it all... but this episode was SW for me. The essence has to change from person to person. For me... the best of SW is a cowboy samurai... and this was that to a perfect point. Just my opinion but I wouldn't change a frame.
@@newhybrid101 So? You that big of a Boba fan boy you can't see how epic that episode was?
I’m wondering if he’ll run into Sabine and that’s who will train him how to use the Dark Saber. Not Luke.
that. would. be. Liquid AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!
Raphael Quitntela nice theory.
No because Ahsoka and Sabine are looking for Thrawn and Ezra. That will be the plot of the Ahsoka show.
i want this more than luke, rebels is one of my favourite pieces of star wars content. i want ezra back more than anything. I'm hopeful that the ahsoka show revives rebels
@@mgtnlouis4940 I’m not against the idea of him seeking out Luke for training. It’s clear he’ll likely meet him as he will be looking to meet Grogu to give him his gift. It could very well be Luke to train him. However, Sabine learned from Kanan how to wield the Dark Saber, and she’s a Mandalorian. The fact that she’s with Ahsoka, doesn’t eliminate that possibility for me as we saw in Mando Season 2 Bo Katan knew exactly where to send Mando to find Ahsoka. For for me, Sabine makes more sense.
I had a smile on me the entire show. It really felt good to see Din, the references to Grogu, the references to Mandalor, and the BD bot really made me happy and hopeful for Cal.
They really laid on the Groku real thick.. as in 'Marketing Department Says' thick.. he's prob going to be the McGuffin for another season :(
The BD droid to me pretty much almost confirms Cal will be brought in soon(ish) now we just need more proof for Ezra and his Mandolorian girlfriend that I have forgotten the name for.
@@thescottishredneckgamer0172 Sabine? I think I'm not too sure either. Would be cool to see everybody again.
@@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439 grogu is more than just the mcguffin.
@@thescottishredneckgamer0172 bruh dude Star Wars fans gotta chill. It’s a type of droid in the universe how in any way does that confirm he will be brought in soon
I have to think that the droid port being “sealed off” by a bubble canopy and not just a piece of metal is hinting that it might be the future compartment for Grogu
wow ! nice pick up
Well ofc, why else would they even put focus on it
Captain obvious here. Smh
Doesn't seem that bubble where the Droid port used to be is big enough to store a bounty for transport. Something Mando is gonna have to figure out I guess
Na this is where Mando stores the heads of his bounties now 😂
I think they could have made this episode perfect just by having Boba come with Fennec to talk to Mando at the end. It’s weird for him not to appear in an episode of his own show, but I absolutely loved this episode.
Agreed
What if hes off world picking up bossk? Anything could happen...
its not his own show. he is a ornament while everyone else gets to do what they want!
Thank you. This felt like Mandalorian season 3 episode 1 which is fine. But to have the show be about a character and doesn’t show up especially when wanting to hire Mando. I loved this episode but it ripped me from Boba Fett because it wasn’t even about him. They should have made all of what Mando did in 15 minutes and then have the entire episode play out when his show comes out.
I agree, they shouldn't have just sent fennec
I love the callback to Episode 1!
Being a huge prequel fan (I'm in my 40's and grew up with the original trilogy but understand and love George's overall vision), I was very disappointed Disney hardly had anything to do with the prequels in their sequel trilogy. Not having Anakin appear was unforgivable.
So the strong references here, and showing the podrace canyon again was amazing!
John and Dave both understand and love George's complete saga and they show their love here. Thank you 😍
As much as I love Boba, this was probably my favorite episode. So sweet to see the Darksaber in action, and I lost my mind when I saw the N1.
Very excited for things to come!
When I saw the N1 I thought "cool call back but I dont like yellow" then they wheel out the full silver modified N1, one of the best looking ships in starwars
If we do get Luke in the next episode, I don’t think he will have a problem with Grogu and Din having an attachment. Luke has achieved what Jedi like Qui-Gon embodied. He has achieved balance both in the Force and in himself. He understands that attachments and love can give strength and hope to oneself in the darkest of moments. It was his love for his father that stopped him from finishing Vader off as the Emperor wished in ROTJ.
The line, “I am a Jedi, like my father before me,” is so powerful. He’s not only saying that he loves his father and believes in the good in him; he’s saying that no Jedi or Sith, Emperor or Yoda can take away the love he has for his father. Nothing can make him sever that attachment, and like Anakin before his fall, he will never leave a loved one or friend behind. A real Jedi always stays true to oneself.
Luke’s new Jedi Order will build on this foundation. Luke, Din, and Grogu have so much in common with similar attachments. I hope we see that Grogu is being trained in Luke’s Jedi way. It would continue what was established with his character at the end of ROTJ.
If it does happen in the next episode, I’m so glad that Dave Filoni is directing it. He understands out of everyone how both Luke’s and Qui-Gon’s characters have a direct connection to each other.
It was only through "attachment" that Luke was able to bring balance to the force. Attachment to his father and the goodness he felt in him.
fuck it they should retcon the sequels asap
@@max-eo9iq they really should. The sequels are limiting the true potential of these series.
Wasn’t the whole no attachments thing a sith ploy to have Jedi not procreate. Due to midochlorian count or some bs. Since I guess you could argue that love and the light side of the force can go hand and hand if trained properly
Din Djarin is the greatest character in Star Wars with Anakin Skywalker. It's going to be great seeing him restore Mandalore to greatness
Luke?
Ashoka ?
@@Pattmore dude
One thing I noticed about the N-1 Starfighter was the small bubble canopy where the Astromech droid would normally be. My first thought was about how freaking adorable it would be to see Grogu sitting in that little bubble as they cruise around. You know Grogu loves to go fast so maybe Din will take him for a joy ride when they meet again❤️
It's definitely for Grogu! ❤️😍
They brought that up in the show
@@socialyawkwardandrew7673 really? Lol I’ll have to watch again then
Another part is when Anikan was Pod racing and Sebulba runs him off the track, and he breaks the wooden fence. It can be seen still broken right after the Womp Rat laying down. It was an amazing episode, when I saw the Naboo star fighter I got the biggest smile on my face also seeing a live action BD unit. I hope Cal comes into play.
Wow I saw that too, after reading your comment, I looked back and paused at just the right moment, and there it was clear as day. Nice catch
@@cjcampbell4799 I love all that they are doing with Star Wars right now. The next episode should be good.
I wanted to comment this exact thing. Such a cool detail!
But what the hell does this episode have to do with Boba Fett, it belongs in The Mandalorian.
Yes! 👏
This episode was great. Not sure if I like this one more, or the one where we see Boba become a part of the Tuskan Tribe
@sese🔞 reported as spam.
It's a close call between the 2 that's for certain, lovin this show though
Boba tribe for sure, I didn't see enough content on how epic that episode was, Tumorra was the perfect actor for the tribal vibes
idk, it was too A Man Called Horse/Dances with Wolves vibes for me. Felt unoriginal.
This isn't a Bobba story so there isn't a better episode. They are good for different reasons.
This is something I hope happens , if it’s back to boba in one of the next episodes it could have a flashback starting the episode off with Boba Fett in his bounty hunting days with the other bounty hunters with him and there’s him and bossk working together and then bossk and some other bounty hunters show up later. But it seems super unlikely since they are most likely done with the flashbacks but a fan can dream , let me know what u think bout this theory.
That's not really a theory. There's not a bit of evidence to support this might happen. This is just what you hope will happen
What theory? This is what you want to happen in the show...
@@thelonlypanda1 well yeah
@@thelonlypanda1 all the trandoshans they show in the background might be a hint towards a bossk appearance. And the next episode is directed by Filoni. So I have a good feeling
@@Dylyadirty03 I feel these trandoshans look goofy and campy and cartoonish compared to Bossk from the OT. Anyone else notice this?
It’s ironic that my favorite episode from Boba’s show is the one without Boba. 😂😭 I LOVED the pod racing callback. I was really hoping that the BD droid was really BD-1 and that we would finally see Cal in live action. One can only hope for the future.
I totally forgot it was boba show. I was thinking it was season 3 episode 1 of the Mandalorian
Same, since I figured that that wasn't BD-1 and Cal wouldn't appear (as much as I would love him to), it would've been dope if it maybe stayed with Mando
That was Wizard!
I would love to see Cal in live action, but we know his story will continue in fallen order 2
Ironic, he could save others from losing popularity among fans, but not himself
It's pretty crazy how Mando wasn't instantly good at the darksaber and how he actually needed training and STILL needs training to even come close to mastering it, just like Sabine in Rebels took a while to master it.
Who knew that actual training and progress to mastery was actually a thing? Mind blowing. It's almost like that character development is crucial to the story, wow.
"Rey"
It’s like Mando isn’t a Mary Sue! 🙀
@@KingShibe and Luke
@@benrabold4954 Luke is force sensitive and he still lost his first duel and Vader was holding back during that fight
@@KingShibe rey and luke had almost identical screen time relating to training....
When Mando walked around the Naboo fighter, I couldn't help but get emotional. This episode was beautifully done.
When Mando first pulled out the Dark saber during his battle for his bounty, loved that. A little less so seeing as he's not yet equipped to fight with it. Hopefully that will change.
Outside of nostalgia, I don't understand the purpose of him getting a Naboo Starfighter. Yes, it might have speed which would be useful, but in his line of work, doesn't he need more space? Like where is he going to put his bounty, if all he has is barely enough space to sit?
@@adameisbrenner6209....you're right, that type of vehicle isn't really feasible for his line of work. Unless he's able to haul some cargo trailer or something. Death Watch or not, he's still a bounty hunter who needs room to transport his bounties.
@@adameisbrenner6209 That was also my question. Maybe he gets 2 ships or maybe he does much less bounty hunting.
My guess is he does a lot less bounty hunting and more to training with the dark saber.
Since I’m hyped for Boba my only critique is wanting to see more of him right away since we just got the whole season of Mando, but I cannot complain because I really loved this episode and the time they took to add all these details. Many of these stories are going to overlap and I cannot wait to see what’s next to flesh out this lore. Can’t wait! Love the video and the Easter eggs I had missed!
I just love how they blend the Prequels and the Original Trilogy in this series. The Podrace call back hit me right in my Prequel loving feels. The Phantom Menace was the movie that got me into Star Wars when I was 5. Still remember seeing it in theaters with my parents. These last 2 Chapters are going to be insane! Hopefully Bossk and Dengar show up in Chapter 6. Can’t wait until next Wednesday!
It even blended in some of the Sequels too with that sort of ring world. Definitely something I feel like would’ve been shown in the Sequels than the other two imo. So I think it’s pretty neat how they did all three trilogies justice without it being shitty. Which is damn near impossible to do.
Did you notice the womp rat at the end of beggars canyon? Just like the one Luke bullseye'd in his T16.
Exactly
This is what Star Wars should be
There should be a series on pod racing like shady shit in the pits back door deals sabotaging other racers pods shit like that
nice name
That thigh wound be gave himself was gnarly, I did appreciate showing that using a lightsaber isn't as easy as picking it up and swinging wildly
Unless ur rey or finn
Especially Finn mans picked it up and had a fair fight with kylo and that storm trooper
Well it is still a bit different from a lightsaber
@@nickjcirillo Who again?
@@TheNoctarius Don’t disrespect Finn lol. Him and Kylo were the only decent characters in the Sequels 😂
I loved this episode! How Mando struggled with the dark saber is how Rey should have struggled fighting Kylo in episode 7.
episode 7? Never heared of it, it doesnt exist.
@@newhybrid101 Keep in mind Kylo had just suffered several shots to the gut from Chewie.
Don't bring that shit show up
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment yeah from a gun that literally one shots everyone else and suddenly Kylo can survive a gut shot? Taking this side of the argument the fight should never have happened anyway since Kylo would be dead.
There’s an episode 7???
I’m torn on seeing Din’s story line developed too much more within BoBF. I think it would take away from the story around Boba Fett. You could simply have him come back after seeing Grogu and Luke. Maybe imply he received training while there, then explore that side of the story in TM. Just a thought.
I hate to say it, I was much more invested in this episode because it just felt like Star Wars, the last episodes of book of boba Fett have fell off. I hope they find a way to incorporate Mando into it because I don’t know if Boba can carry it.
Agreed. They've set up Mando perfectly for season 3. But I hope they stick to Boba fett. Maybe he wont get trained by luke though. Boba teaches him sword/staff techniques the its about Din learning the blade
It was needed.. I lost a lot of interest in the show.. this feels like an episode of Mandalorian.
I agree with you to some extent. I think they have to have crossover episodes like this to keep the characters and plot tied together properly, but I was surprised that they spent almost the entire episode featuring Din. Maybe the reason will become clearer in the episodes to come.
This episode gave us a lot of inside into Mando's character after everything he went through in S1 and S2. Like how he was willing to give up his weapons to board the ship despite them being part of his religion, and not only that but by the request of a Droid of all things. A think he will gradually become like a different version of himself, one less dogmatic and more open minded.
Great observation!
I'm thinking the same....now that he's been 'banished' for removing his helmet, he is ideologically free (lost?) the possibilities of what he can become are pretty open.
Edit: Mando in this episode is like the divorced single dad who loses his kid, loses his job, and then gets a sports car LOL
And that’s how you do proper character development, not like how boba is just suddenly all nice and adverse to violence and honesty a completely different character.
Mando will do anything he has to do when it comes to Grogoo
Yep, he is disavowed and cast out, no longer a true Mandalorian in his mind. His arc will probably see him blend the creeds, kind of like a reformation?
Easily the best episode yet 😍
This was a Good MANDO episode not a good boba fett episode
Book of Boba has still no direction and actual story
In this episod Boba didnt even show up ?! in the show named book of boba..
2 episodes left and it doesnt look good
@@stretchelold correct, Boba wasnt in it but yet it still was a 9 out of 10 due to story, and fillers. We gotta see alot that they never showed in the films but only the novels and comics. Sucked Boba got shafted but this is just setting up the crime lord wars from the comics.👏 Gonna get really violent soon.
@@stretchelold We literally got a whole episode or even two buddy, that was about Boba Fett in Mandalorian so what are you on dude? Just some spew my shit take around YT type of vibe today? 😂😂😂 We got two episode on Mandalorian that built up and brought us Boba, and some felt the same way as you do now when Mando showed up…just stop dude your so cringe.
@@Smacked420 two episodes on the mando was full of mando
and the mandalorian wasnt lacking in story like book of boba
so please get off your copium and face the facts that the book of boba is pointless yet
IMO they should have just made this season 3 of The Mandalorian and it would make a lot more sense to trade episodes off between Din and Boba, after all Boba is mandalorian too technically. This was a great episode of The Mandalorian.
my only gripe is now seeing the whole community divert their attention to mando in boba's show. Don't get me wrong, I love mando and this episode but I also love Temuera and his character and it feels like no one will care about his character now. Especially knowing how excited Temuera was and now everyone just wants to see mando ;-; I believe his character will get redeemed in the eyes of the fans by the end of the season though.
The biggest criticism this series seems to have is that people aren't getting enough of the Boba they want to see. People still like the character; the writers just need to give him more to do. Let him unload on people like he was in season 2 of The Mandalorian and we'll all be happy.
I will care about him too don't worry! :D And I'm sure I'm not alone.
@@Xero_Kaiser I think people were taken off guard seeing him be so different, due to his time with the tuskens, but I enjoy it still. The whole point of the show is seeing him become the crime lord and how he gains respect. we already see him becoming more ruthless (the meeting scene with the rancor below the table) and understanding how it works. star wars fans can be so annoying sometimes
I will always look forward to seeing Boba develop and make changes for good in some way. They had to explain Mando path and it is exciting for the ship and his learning about the dark Saber. I wonder if Din has some special connection to the force, which can develop.
@@halitdirekci8103 The dinner scene was one of my favourites.
It just has that crime lord feel to it.
I'm not so sure we'll see Din/Luke/Grogu in the next episode.
This is Boba's show and the show should resume back to his POV. Typically with one off episodes like this, they are mid season and set up the next season's story. I think we caught up with Din, and know where he is headed and will see that in Mando Season 3.
Yep! Mando will show up in Mos Espa ready to work and we get to wait for Season 3 to see what's happened in between.
I’m in agreement. I think this episode was intended as a quick reintroduction of Mando and as a teaser for season 3.
I think seeing Luke in the next episode would dilute what The Mandalorian can even base a S3 on, too much. Leave it where it is now, like SWT...I wanna see what Mando is going to do next, but I also will be fine with waiting for a perfect season. There is definitely a lot more they can explore with Grogu, my thoughts maybe even bring Sith into the mix...somehow they get a hold of Grogu being a thing........idk, but there's more they can do. It would hurt both shows more to keep Mando going in Boba Fett, beyond a side character.
*End S3 with some sith, base S4 on that.....just a glimpse of a red lightsaber or something. And idk how'd that work, but just thinking...
Meh, Din is even listed in the cast for the next episode
we might see them in the finale of this season he took on the job for boba
In Mando's new ship, there is a conveniently sized compartment for Grogu as she mentioned it was not moded for droids. So hopefully we can see this in a further episode as well!
Yep! orignally there was no glass there, just an astro droid :D good call!
This entire episode was just a episode of the new season of Mandalorian, or more so a filler to when we go to the mandalorian season 3.
A rear gunner seat for Grogu!!
@@oAPXo a pilot essentially
@@silentxero5955 Now I can imagine grogu manning a turret and blasting Tie fighters.
The saber cutting through the bounty AND the table was one of the best moments in the show so far.
We finally see a cut fitting for a saber and none of those clothes only grazes lol
kinda sad the best moment on the book of boba fett show isnt actually about boba fett
That’s not saying much. Wow a table was cut…
I almost burst from that. I was like, huh, that's fcking brutal.
@@117MasterSpartan no… it’s that the saber cut was so brutal that it cut the guy and the table. It’s a show where the main character is/was a bounty hunter. That’s a brutal and action-heavy profession in Star Wars. It was good to see that play out as opposed to a comical vespa chase or a fight where people just kind of toss each other or poke each other with sticks. It’s not that the show has totally lacked intense moments. It’s just that it was fulfilling to see a bounty hunt play out for all of its danger and brutality.
I feel the most underrated part of this episode was the mandalore bombing !! Like how is everyone ignoring this ?!?! !! This is pure empire evil ! It kinda gave me rots or rogue one vibes ! This had me in goosebumps . Showing the cruelty of the empire bombing a whole planet like it’s London in the Battle of Britain !
Reminds me of "Terminator 2 Judgement Day" with the K2 Droids.
You do realize the empire has something called a death star that they used to blow up a planet so this is nothing in comparison
@@afrobuddy4801 Exactly lmao like a Star Wars is known to blow shit up right?!😂
I mean they completely blew up Alderaan. They been ruthless since the first movie
@@afrobuddy4801 dude this is much much worse to have your planet glassed rather than destroyed when it’s destroyed you don’t suffer the pain your evaporated when your bombed you feel the explosion and the fire and your burning skin
Seeing Luke train mando would be phenomenal, but I feel like that much luke cgi would be a maybe. I can see boba teaching him staff/sword techniques in later scenes like how the Tuskans did boba
that's what i was thinking. It would have to be a lot of deepfaking for luke to look good. So maybe Boba or even Ashoka/Sabine? I wonder if Boba knows of the darksaber
Yeah, if there was more of young Luke I feel it would be better to simply switch to Sebastian Stan than rely on cgi
I don't necessairily see Luke being that big of a character because Grogu's CGI is a lot better....and he's a main character (obv it's all different, but my point)...if his CGI was better I'd expect him to stick around longer.
I also wanted to point out that when he goes through a portion of the Boonta Eve Classic, he goes vertical at the same place that Anakin does, AND he passes the same service ramp that Sebulba forces Anakin on to during the race. Such a cool tie in to the prequels!
Almost like the people making this episode actually LIKED star wars.... weird and unusual for us huh?!
I laughed out loud when he started rolling the ship for fun 😂 “I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!”
@@darkhoursofday6250 It's almost like when you like the universe you're making content for it tends be good. Funny that.
@@Webshooters1 Bingo! I love to see that that seems to be the trend but dang! When I saw Jurassic World and saw the cute redhead, I never would have thought... there's one of the saviors of the star wars universe. I am pleasantly surprised! (Then again, when I watched Mulan as a kid, I never thought... that's an awesome master assassin who would be a worthy partner to the best bounty hunter in the galaxy). It's been a few years of good surprises!
@@darkhoursofday6250 I actually know her from when she played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3 haha
But yeah, having her direct has been great because she clearly knows what the tone and dialogue is and makes it seem natural and organic and having the VA of Mulan as Fennic Shand is just the icing on the cake cause she was great in that movie.
Here's to hoping we'll get more of that because lord knows we need all the good Star Wars content we can get.
I think this is where the two shows split. I don't think we will see Mando again in this series until after he gets back from visiting Grogu. He'll probably show up to save Boba and company. I think the first episode of the next Mandalorian will show what happens when he goes to find Grogu.
Why would they ask him for muscle just for him to leave the show completely?
@@joshreid1006 at least 1 more episode with mando or 2 maximum because i don’t think they’ll show an entire episode of him going into the mines
@@joshreid1006 Not completely. Just until he returns. Anyway, I think it's leaked that Luke and Grogu will be in next week's episode, so...
@@mjsheets5936 Bruh, why you gotta spoil that
@@mjsheets5936 Yeah I think next episode will be half Boba and half Mando, with mando getting trained with the darksaber to help Boba fight the pikes. Then the last episode will probably be the war with the pikes.
While he's wielding the Darksaber, Mando's new line could be "I can bring you in whole... or I can bring you in pieces"
That's not a bad idea ngl
Yup
I don’t think I stopped grinning the entire episode! 😂 The prequel Easter eggs were never ending!! These guys KNOW how to do Star Wars
I can’t imagine that they’re going to make a long training scene with cgi Luke, but I can definitely see him training with Ahsoka or maybe even Sabine when he goes back to Mandalore.
Edit: why is everyone talking about Sebastian Stan, did I miss something?
You never know maybe they’re gonna surprise us with Sebastian Stan
@@alielsolamy4754 I would lose my mind if they did that!!!! That would be perfect
Or sabine wren
Man if I see Sabine or Ezra show up together with Ahsoka im gonna cry
Considering they hired the guy that actually improved Lucasfilm's poorly done deep fake for Luke. Who also said he could make it look almost perfect if he had access to the original actors shots. I think they are definitely going to use him to do more, and hopefully fix the original from Mandalorian Season 2.
I am wondering how practical a single-seat starfighter will be for him if he intends to continue bounty hunting. the razor crest had plenty of storage space for bounties, passengers, and weapons.
I was thinkin this same exact thing, the razor crest was very spacious. He wouldn’t be able to fit grogu and the frog lady in this new ship haha
It's prob meant to be temporary till he can get himself a good gunship
@@BEZERKSTUDIOS718 Agreed. Maybe he'll have a Mandalorian Fighter Ship like Bo Katan in the future, this fighter is better suited for the time being if he's going to a dangerous planet like mandalore, you wanna be quick and agile if the rumors about that planet are true.
Maybe eventually he’s not gonna be a bounty hunter anymore? He’s gonna unite the mandalorians imo
absolutley useless ship for a bounty hunter , and where on earth is he going to take a shit
The sound the Astromech makes around the 41 minute mark is the freaking OG Battlefront 2 campaign checkpoint reached sound! The eastereggs in this one man!
One fact missed to add to the Anakin part: Ripley said it was commissioned directly by the Queen of Naboo…aka Padmé !
I get why people didn't care for the earlier episodes, but everything is coming to full circle now, and I'm hyped to see what happens next

Best episode hands down. First time I have had the “Star Wars feelings” since Luke wiped the floor with dark troopers.
Oh without a doubt ...but its kinda sad that its the best episode of bobba fett when it really has nothing to do with bobba and everything to do with mando lol I just hope the next 2 episodes continue to improve

This was a great episode. I felt like Mando season 3 was here! Great explanation on all the goodies, and the easter eggs.
This episode felt more like an episode of the Mandalorian than the Book of Boba Fett. Which is ok, I love the Mandalorian, but I just thought it was weird we didn't even see Boba in it. Still a good ep tho, I loved seeing Mando again.
Mando can’t just show up outta now where can he? We needed to see how he’s been doing before Fett recruits him.
I agree 100%
@@JDotLoc But a whole episode that just so happens to be better than the 4 previous episodes? Disney obviously cares more about their new characters than the existing characters.

@@counterstrifekid lol yeah this episode was better than all the last ones and that's sad because its boba fetts show
I have to say it really touched me to see mando still clearly having grogu in his heart. He really loves the little fella and you can tell hes always thinking of him. Hes a true father.
Seeing Prequel acknowledgement gave me all the good feels. Not seeing Boba Fett be half as cool as Din Djarin in his own show gave me all the sad feels.
For real, I don't know what they're going for with this series so far.
E
Well said. Interestingly, many people can't see this dark aspect of the current situation. What a tragedy.
I really hope that theyre saving all the Boba badassery for the final episodes. I'm sure we'll see some awesomeness.
11:17 I absolutely loved seeing a BD model in something besides Fallen Order, I love its design. Very original design. Then we have BB-8. A ball. With a hemispherical ball on top of that ball. Just rolling around. Like. A ball. Wow
This episode just shows how good of a show The Mandalorian is. We just got an episode all about Mando in a show that is supposed to be all about Boba and it is probably the best episode of the show we’ve gotten so far
Which is really weird, they’re clearly prioritising the mandalorian in terms of budget & love and care. They clearly have the budget and it feels like they reserved it all for that episode, each episode before has felt so hit and miss in terms of CGI and story telling.
Yeah we need Boba doing stuff like this!! BOBA is the O.G😢😢 but I cant complain! Just wish we get to see more badass stuff with Boba
@@bruhdon4748 I mean when it has a force sensitive mini yoda up & coming jedi, Asoka & other OG throw backs, understandable why mando gets more love because it’s had 2 seasons of grown. Plus mando journey went down the imperial/force sensitive side of things. While bobs fett is all about his past & the underground universe which isn’t as hyped.
Which begs the question. What is the point of this series?
@@wazztvproductions fan service UNLESS they’re building a tv series universe to tie up the loose ends in this time line to finish of the original series & pretend like 7,8 & 9 doesn’t exist. I’d take that. Lol
The hype around every episode is equivalent to a new movie coming out so I’m really loving what they are doing
When djin first used the saber he cut off a gun and in that moment I was fearing that disney doesnt let him kill anything because it is to gruesome. But then he starts cutting them into pieces and I was so relieved that there is finally some realism in that universe again
Djin needs to get himself a beskar lamp 😉
8:04 was soooo T2! Scary and exciting. Hard to not get chills on many levels both in fantasy and even reality
I took this as a lore, world building, and callback episode honestly. Thats why i love this episode.
The new ship has a glass dome added where the droid usually sits. This means (I think) that grogo will be coming back with Mando and sitting in that dome.
That’s what I thought too
💯
Maybe... but the ship itself is impractical for long-term since he can't exactly live in the N1, or carry bounties. He is still looking for a new Razor Crest, which might happen in season 3.
@@Kanyon85 good point. It depends on where they take the story. If Mando decides to help retake Mandalor then he would be on the light cruiser and could base himself out of that. He might get his own even slightly larger ship. Big enough to live out of but also big enough to hold his new N1
@@hummerskickass A ship large enough to hold his N1 would be pretty awesome. All I know is he'll need something more than just that N1 later, but excited to see how he uses it.
I love how the moment it’s a mando episode, it’s 10 times better then the rest of the episodes
That's a bit mean to poor temura morrison. Just a simple man trying to make his way through the film industry
*10 times worse
I hate that to be honest, I'm a massive Boba Fett fan and I love Temuera Morrison and I feel like ... betrayed, it's weird because I loved the episode but it's kinda insulting
One of my favorite scenes from the episode is when Mando has the head and is going to return the bounty. From the moment he gets on the elevator up to the cantina to when he gets off the entire shot is uninterrupted, no camera cuts between dialogue, none of that it just follows Mando all the way
I have a theory that eventually, when Din goes to the Mandalore mines to regain his honor, he will tame an ancient Mythosaur laying dormant there.
Ayoooo
Boba already has ridden one.
@@icedlatte3076 as much as i like boba, I'd rather have Din becoming the mandalore
The scene where the armorer was training Din with the Darksaber to me in a lot of ways mirrored the scene from Rebels where Kanan was training Sabine with it. A lot of the instruction was similar.
That's just how you teach

Which further proves that a Jedi must also train Din. A.k.a Luke Skywalker!!!
Every single Star Wars episode Bryce Dallas Howard has directed have been absolute bangers.
Way better track record than Rodriguez. Lol
I was so pleasantly surprised to see that this was basically a new episode of The Mandalorian.
The butcher's shop with the mob guys is probably the grittiest location we've ever seen in any Star Wars media. Pretty much screams "underworld". Loved it.
Seedy, gross, dinghy, and crime-ridden.
It was absolutely beautiful. And I loved the doors weren’t electronic but something you have to walk through
This is hands down my favorite episode of the season so far. The lore, story, set up, throwbacks, 50 minutes in length...it was pretty much exactly the kind of episode I wish we could get every week. It just feels a bit disheartening to me that Boba wasn't even in the best episode of his own show, and that I now honestly feel more interested in Din and what he's doing than in Boba. I just want to see Boba as we all know him, and I feel like we haven't really gotten that so far. We get more of it in Din that we do with Boba himself. I hope the last episodes really do a better job with him, and that it will continue into season 2. Also while Morrison's acting is wonderful I really hope that they put Boba's helmet on more. I think him barely ever wearing it is really a mood killer when it's essentially the reason Boba Fett became a character people were interested in in the first place.
yup exactly this.
took the words right out oif my mouth
Wow you read my mind - 100% agree
yea when he has his mask on it’s way more badass i think that’s why we love mando so much
I couldn’t agree more.
Not sure how this season is going to end. I could see Boba Fett getting the darksaber, honestly, at least for a scene. When Din was darksaber training with the Armorer I felt there was a parallel between that & the scene where Boba is gaffi stick training with the Tusken Warrior. I feel the Tusken Warrior gave Boba the skills that can translate to darksaber skills. Then again Mando is paying a visit to Grogu and by extension Skywalker who could hypothetically give Din a lesson if he is okay with teaching a non-Jedi those skills. However on the subject of Luke, I’d wonder how he would feel about Din’s association with Boba. Then again it’s possible we don’t see Din travel and we see him post-trip in the next episode, and they save Grogu and Luke for Season 3 of Mando. Also considering Din will work for free for Boba that means the Fett family can spend those credits on another bounty hunter/hired muscle.
Sabine knows how to fight with the darksaber, there’s some potential that Bo Katan can introduce Sabine to Din. Cal/Luke can also train Din, maybe with some(a lot of) Sabine-Kanan parallels.
there probably gonna save all that for the mandalorian season 3
Sabine had the same trouble when she was being taught to use the dark saber by Kanan . She even remarked about how heavy it felt. Kanan however had a much different explanation of why it was so heavy than what the armorer told Din. When he goes to see Grogu, Luke will get him proficient in using it, or wouldn’t it be great if Grogu, wearing his new Beskar chain mail, takes it and breaks bad on everyone messing with Din LOL.
I guess as Luke is pretty good at seeing the good in people, he might honor bobas choice as he was just a bounty hunter fulfilling his mission. Now boba could become a powerful ally like hondo ohnaka was for the Republic. He knows tricks like han does, that can be helpful. So I guess we might see boba and Luke being friends
@@CelebornArt Han be like “Hey man, sorry for straight up ruining your life when I threw you down the sarlacc”
When Mando said Wizard! It reminded of when Vader said that in Robot Chicken, lol
I feel like the feeling we have for the mandalorian is what we wanted/expected from boba. I’ve been really disappointed with boba’s character and the setting overall. This episode was amazing, and the mandalorian just made the last episodes obsolete for me. I hope boba can regain that badass feel as he was in season 2. Everything in this episode felt like Star Wars. Lore, planets, music, and no cringe writing.
Yea but it was a Book of Boba Fett episode in name only. This was really a Mando episode.
Stop complaining this is all a part of the same story when boba came out and Mando it was epic when Mando came out in boba it was also epic.
It's two sides of the same coin stop trying to create a divide
I feel the same way, they wrote him how Boba would have been before the desired to bring him back into canon and now we have this Boba who is completely different from the one in the Mando series
****SPOILER ALERT****
This is the perfect summation of the episode and what I feel. This whole season has been weak to me and this episode proves it even more. Boba was great in The Mandalorian, but this ain't the same version of him. The way Mando was kicking a$$ and taking names in chapter 5 is what Boba should have been doing from jump. Like going to the mayor all diplomatic and letting the Hutts test your gangster TWICE...what the heck is that??? We shouldn't have to wait 5 episodes for something this good. We know the team behind it all are so knowledgeable of Star Wars and have done great things, so TBOBF has been a big letdown for me so far. I'm sure the next 2 eps will be amazing but they can't really afford to go this slow on these Star Wars shows. If anyone rated any of the previous episodes high, the whole scale has to be thrown out the window now.
@@Omar-cm5pb the boba fett in mando was completely different than what we’re getting right now. I’m not dividing, I’m still watching and supporting this show while equally assessing it. Mando has been mando, while this boba so far has done little and is lacking the execution he had in mando season 2. I expected boba to outclass mando, as we saw in season 2. Im still optimistic for boba since the season isn’t over.
Can’t wait to see Luke and Grogu, but I have a feeling they might save that for Mandalorian season 3. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing since this is supposed to be Boba’s show.
BOBF is definitely underrated. The mods are kind of strange/out of place, and that speeder chase scene was lackluster, but otherwise this has been some great Star Wars content imo.
It is supposed to be Boba's show. But I've enjoyed characters like Fennec and the tuskens more. And I like the show. Even the space moped episode was good tv. But I didn't miss Boba Fett this episode. At all.
This episode just saved The Book of Boba Fett. I was literally on the edge of my seat for this episode and it reminded me why The Mandalorian was so good. Such weird pacing for the show, they went from 0 to 100 with episode 5 in terms of everything.
Hit and miss honestly. Good content yes, but Boba himself has been a bit lackluster.
I actually thought that Mando visiting grogu would then be season 3 and because of his absence he will not be there next episode, or come back in the end of it.
Fun Easter egg: at the "airport" where Mando has to unload all his weapons before getting on board, one of his weapons is a really really tiny pistol. That pistol is an FP-45 "Liberator" from WW2. It was intended to be used as an insurgency (partisan) weapon, mass dropped behind enemy lines to resistance fighters. The user would use the "Liberator" to kill an enemy soldier and then steal their much better weapon.
I knew I recognized it!
That's an awesome bit of trivia! I did wonder why there was such a heavy focus applied to the weapons being loaded into the little crate before boarding, I expected the Darksaber or something else to go missing and not be there when the crate was reopened the other end of the journey. There must be some extra significance there?
@@purplepotato3592 I was thinking it showed that he wasn't a "true" Mandolorian anymore. He is willing to give up his weapons now.
@@thekidd7650 that's true - I hadn't even thought of that! Maybe it just shows that he's more progressive lol - the future form of the Mandalorians!
Loved the prequel throwbacks. Always awesome when they bridge the eras together
That scene of Mando looking out into the stars as he is in the passenger ship was very emotional. The music was perfect. All the guy wants is to see his son again. So sad.
Surprised you didn't mention it.
My only concern is that there are 2 episodes left and it doesn’t feel like there’s been enough development of Bobas character. My guess is that he will become a side character in future seasons of the mandalorian after establishing himself as a crime lord. I could see them doing similar spin off/side stories with Ashoka, Luke, Cal, Ezra, Omega or anyone else around during this time if it fits into the story they’re putting together.
he does seem like a side character when compared to Din, doesn't he?
Yeah this show might be one and done. After seeing this episode I realized I cared a lot more about Din than Boba Fett.
@@Skylerrelyks93 because he is. Din is the new Luke skywalker/ main character in Star Wars
@@Tahoe756 i hope so. I really like him.
So- do you think Grogu will appreciate mesh armor nearly as much as he would’ve appreciated a Beskar ball? And having him in the droid hatch should keep him from stealing Mando’s shifter knob, right?
I feel like it may hint at a future conflict where Grogu is threatened by a lightsaber. Making chainmail armor from beskar makes sense because its lightwieght, flexible and we know beskar is fairly resistant to lightsabers.
@@EG_Soul_Reaver well it was a joke but I still agree with you.
He can be given both the ball and some chainmail jedi robe.
Mando: “This is a peice of junk.”
*Famous last words*
"Beskar is for armor, not weaponry"

Whistling birds were meant to be a Mandalorian defense weapon I believe, also using much less than a whole spear.

Interesting trivia: Qi'Ra's fighting style "Teräs käsi" is Finnish and means "steel hand". As a Finn I was delighted to see a small language like Finnish make it into Star Wars!

vader means father in dutch
does Finnland have viking types? .. she strikes me as viking mystic/blacksmith .. and the other dude is a beserker.

I had a big smile the whole episode. All of the nods was incredible. Dinn’s struggle with the dark saber and learning about it made me think of Rebels when Sabine is learning to wield it, then the BD droid made me so happy, seeing the pod racing course, and “wizard” of course. This may be my favorite Star Wars episode of like any show yet. I’m so excited for the next episode
I love this episode, but I hate that the Beskar spear was destroyed. I would love to see Mando regularly dual wield the dark saber and spear in close quarter combat.
And the armorer used like 5% of that material for grogu's chainlink ⛓️.. could have hooked a homie up with some extra whistling birds.
Do you know how hard it would be to use both of those weapons at the same time? Each of them require both hands to use efficiently.
@@YouSpewed yeah it would be hard, but weapons are his religion, I think he could make it work. Lol
I kinda hope that Ahsoka trains Din, because their stories more closely resemble one another's; they both left their orders (yes, Din was kicked out, but stay with me) because of a tenet of the code that could not be broken under any circumstances (Ahsoka - attachment re: loyalty, Din - removing helmet). Also, I feel like Luke is gonna be busy training Grogu and assembling force-sensitive younglings, while Ahsoka is sort of just puttering about in the galaxy. She could also be a recurring character in Mando S3 as a trainer/fellow warrior. Either way, as a "car guy" I thought this episode was beautiful, and I was in tears when Din evacuated his exhaust and took off.
Same, this was the episode for car people. I loved it. Seeing Mando work on his ship reminded me of my own experience with my 350z
I definitely felt it! I loved that they spent so much time working on it and feel of the first start. Anyone who has worked on a machine and felt it start up for the first time, had to have had some emotions during that scene.
Agreed and let’s not forget that filoni directed next weeks episode
Din’s few minutes training with the darksaber was more time than Rey training with Luke’s lightsaber in all 3 movies combined
Imagine still complaining about Rey in 2022… lol
@@LordoftheBoard So?
The “unexpected ally” the title for episode 5 is referring to is master chief Bc halo ring confirmed in Star Wars!! 😅
Halo isn't the only space media to feature big rings with civilizations on. Elite Dangerous, Elysium... They aren't a patented Halo idea.
@@DatBlueVQ though, halo is the biggest piece of media to feature these ring worlds, and is always the first thing people think of when they see a ring world, so it makes sense the OP is referencing halo out of anything else
Yeah but Bc halo has been so iconic that for majority of the people especially the younger generations like myself that grew up in the 2000’s and have played it, it’s an instant connection to the games.
@@DatBlueVQ Yes but when you think of Ring Worlds, Halo is by far the most iconic. It’s like saying Star Wars isn’t the only Space Media to feature laser swords but it is easily the most iconic.
I liked how "Rippley" hollowed out the droid socket on Din's new ship - definitely looks Grogu size
