She made Grogu a -mithril- beskar shirt for his trip with Din to the Mines of -Moria- Mandalore. Also, Din's chromed up N1 is now the sexiest ship in the Outer Rim.
To quote my first sentence after seeing his ship completed: "Holy fuck he flies a rat rod starfighter." That ship is sexy af. Never thought I'd get so hype over seeing an N-1
I wasn't as much into Epidode 4 season 1 of The Mandalorian she directed first but between the 3 Star Wars episodes BDH has under her belt she's only improved and would like to see her showrun a series because of this episode.
That background arc of the X-Wing pilot investigating the Imperial remnant incidents is fascinating. Hope they keep at it! Pedro is back! Opening sequence felt like John Wick/Oldboy. That flight sequence is pure STAR WARS magic!! Also the BD droid is adorable!
@@bigfootwithinternetconnect2330 Cara Dune was supposed to be the main character of the Rangers show, but Gina Carano got fired due to her political views regarding the 2020 presidential election and other misinformation and thus, the show was no longer moving forward.
@@snorpenbass4196 Didn't know you knew her personally to call her a bigot or a racist, did she come out as such, or does she just support or have a idea that is different from the "mainstream" so she was labeled as such? Wondering if you know could you give me some references of bigoted or racist remarks she made? Maybe I missed them.
George Lucas' original idea for light sabers were that they were so powerful that it weighted down its wielder, thats why only Jedi and Sith could employ them. Mastering the mind would allow them to master their blade. Also the Watch are a cult, religious zealots, so its understandable that Din would just walk away regardless if he had the Dark Saber or not. The dark saber is more a symbol but not a religious relic, thats why all 3 of them are more or less like meh about its religious significance, except for Paz he wants for his clans honor Lol
I didnt get the idea that they are "meh" about the saber. They seem to care about it, but they also believe that the person who gets it through fight or duel should have it, cause its part of "this is the way" thinking. They do believe that owning the saber after fight sets them back on track to bring them back to their home. Even Armorer says so, that Bo Katan had the sword given to her and doomed their planet due to this. I think Armorer sets Djinn on path to Mandalore with that sword for more than one reason. She probably also believes directing Djinn to that planet with mythical sword may bring luck to mandalorians.
And even in the sequel trilogies too, they are interweaving everything and its great. Mando is in my opinion the best star wars content since the original trilogy
@@tataucavalcante1 I'd disagree on the Sequel trilogies. As an example, remember when a single ship at lightspeed can decimate an entire armada (that makes a any single ship as/more powerful than the DeathStar).
I expected this episode to start with mando. Thats what these D+ shows do. They just do the thing. But a whole episode just on mando was a surprise (to be sure, but a welcome one).
Bryce Dallas Howard is National Treasure PS: Mando being the best in Boba Fett series is both a boast of how significant Djarin has become as in SWU as well as the lack of development for Boba, it's not fair but in a very delightful manner
Mando seems a lot more violent in this episode. Then there's the darksaber target on Mando's back now that he's alone and distracted with thoughts of Grogu and a new ship. We know Paz Vizla isn't done with Din or any other Mando wanting their chance at Mandalore. He needs allies and training with the darksaber and who better then Luke to give him pointers "You can only get so far without a tribe..."
I'm leaning towards Ahsoka possibly giving him some pointers since her show is coming and perhaps showing up in some capacity in Mando S3. This episode felt like it set up all the history and lore (and then some) of Mandalore and the Dark Saber which will probably be the main quest line in the upcoming S3 peppered with side plots etc.
@@luketimewalker you gotta remember all this time he's been healing in the current time. Now that he's done I hope we do get the BADASS Boba again. It's like breaking a leg or something you can't walk on it until your fully healed

Paz Vizsla is voiced by Favreau but the actor inside the suit is Tait Fletcher, the same actor who was the big, bald bully from the very first scene in the very first episode. Well, that was the setup through the first season, anyway. This is the Way.
@6:52 They are referencing Star Wars: Rebels Season 4 Episodes 1-2 where Sabine Wren gives Bo Katan the Darksaber. I am glad they cleared up that little bit about ruling Mandalore contradiction that occured in Season 2 of Mandalorian. The destruction of Mandalore also occurs within the last season of Clone Wars. Just sharing that for those whom havent watched and want to get a bigger picture of what happened.
@SciFi Author B.L. Alley Good point been loving what Filoni has done so far with that side of the Star Wars mythos. Mandalorians are such a cool culture to explore, glad we got a little bit of the Tuskens in book of Boba. Would like to see Zabrack/Dathomirians, and the Chiss Ascendency
The Armorer is kinda suss. She deliberately goaded Paz Visla into challenging Din, and I think she wanted Paz to win. And I got the impression that she suspected Din had broken the Creed and used that fact to get rid of him quick once he defeated her boy Paz. Also, I've seen a theory that the Armorer is actually Rook Kast, one of the Shadow Collective, and that the horns on her helmet are to honor Darth Maul. If true she's definitely NOT trustworthy.
Anyone else think that the BD unit is a hint that theyll be introducing cal kestis? Its around the same time period and cameron monghan is such a good actor they could totally put him in a live adaptation.
That was my first thought to, makes enough sense to me he’d be with Luke training young Jedi so maybe he’s there when mando goes to visit grogu. Could even be him that trains mando to use the dark saber.
It isnt in the same time period. Fallen order is about 3-5 years after Episode III and before IV. Cal could show up but it would be a much older version of him
@@tataucavalcante1 Yeah we had Ahsoka in season 2 of mandalorian and she was around 45 years old, She was 17 during Order 66 cal was 13 at that point so younger than Ahsoka, I see no reason why he wouldn't be around unless he has been killed by the time we get to Mandalorian, will we see him in Season 3 who knows but it would be cool if he's still alive.
There is absolutley no reason, that we've seen, that would stop them introducing Cal. he would be around 40 at the time of Mando season 2 he was a few years younger than Ahsoka. Unless he is killed some time between 14BBY and mando around 10 ABY, there is nothing stopping them. the Actor is 29 currently so he's dead in between his age in Fallen order and Cal's age in 10ABY
I’ve heard all this talk about robbing Boba of an entire episode of his own series. I don’t think so. I have to believe that F&F had planned for Boba’s storyline this season to play out over 6 episodes (not 7) from the very beginning. But during development, the decision was made to create and include this episode, strategically, into this point of the story. Doing this would bring the audience up to date with what Din has been doing since the MS2 finale, and also scratch that Mando itch we’ve all had since then. All without taking away any screen time for Boba Fett’s story to unfold. If I’m right about this, all I can say is, well done. This is the Way. Also: the ring world spaceport is known as Glavis, and I really hope we visit it again. Also: Give Bryce Dallas Howard her own Star Wars series (or trilogy) right now!!!
Not just the Live action films and TV its the games, books, comics and cartoons as well. Lucasfilm/Star Wars is taking "Shared universe" to a whole new level. Krrsantan from the comics. BD droid from Fallen Order. Darksaber, Bo'Katan and Ahsoka from Clone wars, Rebels and now Mandalorian. Hera Sindula has appeared in Bad-batch, Rebels and Star wards squadrons, and quite possibly appeared in EP9 piloting the ghost. It is rather impressive really.
I thought the same thing about Din Djarin faltering in the duel and rallying while thinking of Grogu, but I think it works better thematically that he perseveres when he drops the weapon and the dogma and moves faster without it to take Vizla's legs with little cuts.
I didn't really even realize until you guys mentioned the one-take and how technically impressive it was that the entire head-delivery segment was likely heavily CGI, and I have *no* idea how much CGI the N-1 fighter was. It was all so seamless, even the droids and alien background characters just blended into "yeah, that looks right"; the whole test-run was absolutely gorgeous and again, almost entirely CGI. Their artists this season have really knocked it out of the park.
I really love their willingness to mine everything in the lore for story and easter eggs. Going all the way back to KOTOR for the Tuskens, the prequels, the animated series, Fallen Order (BD), etc.
They really are blending EVERYTHING. Films, TV, games, books, comics and cartoons. Lucasfilm/Star Wars is taking "Shared universe" to a whole new level. Krrsantan from the comics. Fenic'Shan from Mando and clone wars. BD droid from Fallen Order. Darksaber, Bo'Katan and Ahsoka from Clone wars, Rebels and now Mandalorian. Hera Sindula has appeared in Bad-batch, Rebels and Star wards squadrons, quite possibly appeared in EP9 piloting the ghost. And is rumoured, along with Sabine Wren and Ezra, to appear in the Ahsoka series. It is quite impressive.
I agree that all these will be one big story with the Mandolorian being the thread that ties them all together. Because he is a newly created character he can weave together all the different stories and source material almost perfectly because it can be molded around him. So Bob's sorry, Asoka, possibly Cal Kestis now cause we had a BD droid possibly BD-1 in this episode and a ton more old Star Wars stuff can be thrown into this format and make sense. I believe that Mando is going to become the next Jedi Mandolorian, it really seems they are steering him in that direction which is amazing and I want to see it
I don't think Din is going to be the next Mandalorian Jedi as he has no connection to the Force. If he had, then both Luke and Grogu themselves would have sensed it. The BD droid we saw in the episode is probably not the same BD-1 from Jedi: Fallen Order, but it is awesome to see it regardless. I do believe that we will see Ahsoka again, as preparation for her own series that is coming soon. But I do think first and foremost that we will see Grogu and Luke Skywalker, with Mando giving Grogu his gift and Luke training Mando on how to wield the darksaber. In any case, it is going to be very interesting...
Not sure if you guys have ever considered it, but I for one would love to watch your reactions to Clone Wars and Rebels. So much of what happens in those shows is going to be key to events in the shows to come. In any case, I love watching you all for your love of Star Wars, Marvel, and Invincible. Hope you guys continue to do reactions for as long as you enjoy doing so 💙
yeah, they missing out on the whole lore of the Dark Saber in Rebels. We know what Din needs to do to make the Dark Saber lighter. This is where Luke can help him.
Jesus guys! I thought you had split up or something like that. Everytime I finish watching these episodes I come back running to the channel because it feels like I'm sharing thoughts and geeking out with my friends. This was by far the most exciting episode yet and it felt like forever waiting for the reaction haha
I agree. I checked every day this week. I saw it was up on Patreon, but damn, their Patreon says if it's the end of the month, consider signing up in a week or so at the first of the month so you don't get charged twice. Been waiting for this!
They say that this episode actually was S3E1 from Mando, they added it just to tie the story with boba but by far one of the best episodes with the one from last week as well! You guys rock💪🏽
"The sacred waters under the mines of Mandalore", and "Tatooine was once covered in oceans" are too much to be coincidence. The Obi-Wan series will show us caverns under the sands of Tatooine with lakes or even oceans, and Tatooine will become the next Mandalore. The Tuskens would be a great warrior culture to bring into the Mandalorians to help fill the ranks.
I'm pretty sure the cryogenic density combustion booster the jawas brought back to Mando was a nod to the piece of junk Han used in the trash compactor scene in A New Hope.
I think the reason they showed Mano checking the darksaber with security was to confirm to the audience he still had it after leaving the Mandolorian order.
I love the way the describe the N-1 as being "bumpy" because that's how real planes feel. Cargo/passenger planes are designed to be stable and comfortable but the side effect is that they aren't super maneuverable. A F-16 fighter jet is designed specifically to be unstable in the air because it makes them more twitchy/maneuverable
Let me just say that I made a very manly and not at all high-pitched (yes, I'm lying) squee when I saw the BD-droid. They even got the constantly-in-motion mannerisms down right! BD-droids are basically the Jack Russell terriers of droids.
Mando joining Boba brings the darksaber and all the mandolorians + Cob Vanth and other tuskin tribs, not to mention Greff and Ahsoka possible Is to help him learn balance for the dark saber
Adam needs to take the fellas on a journey through Rebels. there’s a little episode called Trials of the Darksaber they need to watch And I’m a NEED the BTS for that one-shot, it was incredible
I know what you guys mean about tapping into our memories of Star Wars. I haven't seen a prequel in ages but they exist in my memory. As the content of those films is referred to or built upon by other shows, those memories get updated. I wasn't a fan of the prequels when they came out (I'm late 40s) but they are becoming better movies because the story they are built on is growing like this.
Crazy how the best episode in the book of Boba Fett is all about the Mandalorian. It's amazing how attached I'm to the story of the Mandalorian only after this short while. this last episode could be truly epic. role on Wednesday. This is the Way.
That is one loooooooooooooooooong transport stop. For Mando to see the young Rodian, disembark, work on a new ship, take it for a test ride, and then see the same kid in the same ship, it must have been one hell of a delay.
It is funny, but as I watch you guys I finally think I believe the Mandalorian returned. That is to say, Din Djarin in my mind is the modern day concept of what was Boba Fett. And while Boba Fett was classified a Mandalorian, and the Star Wars canon and legends have specifically defined a "Mandalorian", there was a time wherein the meaning of "Mandalorian" was in mind and imagination of the audience. Din Djarin returns to the made up concepts of what it means to be a Mandalorian only to be told that he no longer fits the strict concept, and by the end of the episode he readily accepts returning to the original Boba Fett. The Mandalorian again becomes and can be what we perceive or imagine him to be. Meta.
Mando with that Dark Saber! The scene of Night Of 1000 Tears epic! Too bad about the spear but it's a gift for Grogu. All the lore, references on Tatooine and the Starfighter! Thank you Bryce, Favreau & Filoni! 2 to go!
I swear there making us fall in love with this franchise that we already love it’s like renewing your vows to a show 😂 and I wonder if they will bring up bobba’s sister at some point because that would blow my mind like seeing Asoka
I always loved the Naboo starfighter in games. Fast, maneuverable, and generally had adequate shielding and weapons. I love Mando's hot-rodded version. Speaking of the games, I was really familiar with that pod-racing track, not only from Episode 1, but also from the N64 game, Pod Racer. I still have the pod I built in the game stored on a memory card and can jump on and play any time I like.
When Paz Vizsla pulls out a vibro-blade to attack, only to have it destroyed by the Dark Saber, its actually a reference to a comment made by George Lucas, and reference by Dave Filoni at SW Celebration 2019, that a light saber would easily cut a vibro-blade in half. George then designed the Dark Saber. Filoni's revelation of this tidbit can be found at the 35:00 mark here: ruclips.net/video/RsrTkOcLGVM/видео.html
I loved this episode...this was amazing, honestly, the attention to detail is incredible...fun fact- the "cryogenic density combustion booster", is the same thing that Luke used in the rubbish compactor with Han.....my star wars mind is blown.....This is the way !!
You know, Favreau only performs the voice dub for Paz Vizsla. That guy is being played by the same one who got his drink spilled by Mando in the very first episode, Tait Fletcher. ("Uba hasa, mee yocola!")
Wait wait, Hector, where did the Lake Minnetonka reference come from? @11:00. I live in Minnesota and that lake is like 20 feet away at any given point.
Theories: A. When the Armorer told Din he was a "Mandalorian no more" it had 2 meanings. 1) He was no longer part of their group/religion/sect. And 2) He was no longer just a Mandalorian. That his past time with Grogu and the experiences he's going to have with him and others in the future...are going to make him more. Like part Mandalorian and part Jedi. Or part Mandalorian creed and some other evolved version of that. B. We haven't seen/heard the last of Moff Gideon. When Din told the Armorer what happened and that he was going to be tried, convicted and punished by the New Republic....the Armorer said, "We shall see." As if to say she didn't believe or "see" that as happening. C. Pelli Motto (Amy's character) is going to be off-world in the future. She specifically said, she never had been. And given everything that's coming up with Boba & the Pykes and her now friendship with Din....she's part of the crew now. She could experience fallout from the war and have to leave Tatooine...or maybe she's part of helping to revive Mandalore....which brings me to my next theory. D. Din....with Grogu by his side is going to return to Mandalore and help restore that planet. Particularly, the waters under the mines that he needs to reintegrate into the creed. Grogu is Force sensitive and could definitely revitalize those waters. Or at least reintegration going to be his intent. Whether that goal remains consistent or it evolves over time, remains to be seen. But I think a return to Mandalore is the focus of S3. E. Finally, I don't think we're going to see Mando with Grogu in the next eppy of TBOBF. Think about it...he has to find him. It's not like they're pen pals and staying in touch. Din's not a Jedi, he can't sense Grogu's location. He'd have to search for and find him and we don't have time for that. I think we'll pick back up with Boba and Fennec and their battle with the Pykes and all the people she's recruited to help and in the final episode, Din will show up at a crucial point and assist. Possibly with Grogu or possibly not. I Think S3 of the Mandalorian we'll see in flashback how they reunited and what that experience was. Maybe he get some Jedi training or tips from Luke. Maybe he just watch Luke training Grogu. I think he will have picked up some things and be better with the saber but not fully trained with it yet. But again, I don't think we'll see that on screen until S3 of The Mandalorian.
This episode was such a delight, as a newer Star Wars fan I'm enjoying this show more than I thought I would cause I have no previous attachment to Boba Fett. I've seen the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy but not the prequels, yet.
Took 5 weeks and episodes to get to see badass Boba Fett kicking ass and collecting a bounty as we hoped he would in his show in the opening of The Return of the King Mandalorian
I didn't know the wachutus were biters!!…. Bruuuuuhhh hella funny. Great video guys. BDH killed it in this episode. Best one so far this season. Can’t wait for the last 2.
Many characters in these Disney series’ have made appearances in other shows, i.e. Ahsoka and even Boba, and The Mandalorian is the next to do it. That series is the strongest by far, but his story follows what’s going on with Boba. All the mandalorian stories were so informative and the episode exceeded all expectations for me. So good…..:)
I’m so glad they’re not going with a rigid helmet for Grogu . That would be awkward for someone with big bendy ears not to mention his arms can’t reach the top of his head . Remember the spiders ? One of the guys on Blind Wave said it’ll probably be a coif and /or chainmail robe which would be perfect .
I think the Ringworld is named in the Descriptive Audio closed captioning. I forget the name. Gallox, or something similar sounding. I love the name of the episode. It seems to have had a double meaning. Din Djarin returns to bounty hunting, and he returns to Children of the Watch.
I do agree that there is a bit too much desert planets in Star Wars these days and the problem doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon because I assume Kenobi is probably gonna be mostly on tatooine too

The amount of nostalgia they managed to give to Din after a mere 4 episodes without him is incredible.
It’s a testimony to how firmly the character and his iconography has cemented itself in the fan culture after just two years.
Bryce has directed some of the best episodes of Mando and now BOBF - she's a real star!
Like her father, before her.
I was just thinking the same thing. She’s def has her dad’s talent for directing.
I wasn't as much into Epidode 4 season 1 of The Mandalorian she directed first but between the 3 Star Wars episodes BDH has under her belt she's only improved and would like to see her showrun a series because of this episode.
Bryce actually saw the Movie Couple's reaction to the episode and tweeted about it!
When the Armorer told Din what to do to redeem himself, I immediately said: “We must go through the Mines of Moria!”
YES!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I have to believe that F&F had planned for Boba’s storyline this season to play out over 6 episodes (not 7) from the very beginning. But during development, the decision was made to create and include this episode, strategically, into this point of the story. Doing this would bring the audience up to date with what Din has been doing since the MS2 finale, and also scratch that Mando itch we’ve all had since then. All without taking away any screen time for Boba Fett’s story to unfold.
If I’m right about this, all I can say is, well done.
This is the Way.
Also: the ring world spaceport is known as Glavis, and I really hope we visit it again.
Also: Give Bryce Dallas Howard her own Star Wars series (or trilogy) right now!!!
Best Episode Boba is Din Jarin,Mando has that magic was waiting for you guys.
Given how tightly they're interweaving the live action series, I'm going to guess the naboo fighter is going to feature in Kenobi.
Yeah my guess is that Obi-Wan was the one that left it on Tatooine.
@@WriterusAeternus oooooo
Not just the Live action films and TV its the games, books, comics and cartoons as well. Lucasfilm/Star Wars is taking "Shared universe" to a whole new level. Krrsantan from the comics. BD droid from Fallen Order. Darksaber, Bo'Katan and Ahsoka from Clone wars, Rebels and now Mandalorian. Hera Sindula has appeared in Bad-batch, Rebels and Star wards squadrons, and quite possibly appeared in EP9 piloting the ghost.
It is rather impressive really.
@@WriterusAeternus letsss goo!!
I thought the same thing about Din Djarin faltering in the duel and rallying while thinking of Grogu, but I think it works better thematically that he perseveres when he drops the weapon and the dogma and moves faster without it to take Vizla's legs with little cuts.
I was at work when I watched this episode and really wanted to just scream, "EEEEKKKK" when Mando came in. 😂 I was so happy to see him.
No one:
Literally no one:
Agustin every 5 seconds: This is so f’ing cool you guys!
Love to see it
I didn't really even realize until you guys mentioned the one-take and how technically impressive it was that the entire head-delivery segment was likely heavily CGI, and I have *no* idea how much CGI the N-1 fighter was. It was all so seamless, even the droids and alien background characters just blended into "yeah, that looks right"; the whole test-run was absolutely gorgeous and again, almost entirely CGI. Their artists this season have really knocked it out of the park.
I agee DR, I had to go back and watch it again, 1 single shot.....amazing
I really love their willingness to mine everything in the lore for story and easter eggs. Going all the way back to KOTOR for the Tuskens, the prequels, the animated series, Fallen Order (BD), etc.
BD was a hit!
They really are blending EVERYTHING. Films, TV, games, books, comics and cartoons. Lucasfilm/Star Wars is taking "Shared universe" to a whole new level. Krrsantan from the comics. Fenic'Shan from Mando and clone wars. BD droid from Fallen Order. Darksaber, Bo'Katan and Ahsoka from Clone wars, Rebels and now Mandalorian. Hera Sindula has appeared in Bad-batch, Rebels and Star wards squadrons, quite possibly appeared in EP9 piloting the ghost. And is rumoured, along with Sabine Wren and Ezra, to appear in the Ahsoka series.
It is quite impressive.
I agree that all these will be one big story with the Mandolorian being the thread that ties them all together. Because he is a newly created character he can weave together all the different stories and source material almost perfectly because it can be molded around him. So Bob's sorry, Asoka, possibly Cal Kestis now cause we had a BD droid possibly BD-1 in this episode and a ton more old Star Wars stuff can be thrown into this format and make sense. I believe that Mando is going to become the next Jedi Mandolorian, it really seems they are steering him in that direction which is amazing and I want to see it
bd-1 i was so happy to see him
@@greenricky4782 other have said this, but I want him to have a BD droid like Cal did in fallen order
I don't think Din is going to be the next Mandalorian Jedi as he has no connection to the Force. If he had, then both Luke and Grogu themselves would have sensed it. The BD droid we saw in the episode is probably not the same BD-1 from Jedi: Fallen Order, but it is awesome to see it regardless. I do believe that we will see Ahsoka again, as preparation for her own series that is coming soon. But I do think first and foremost that we will see Grogu and Luke Skywalker, with Mando giving Grogu his gift and Luke training Mando on how to wield the darksaber. In any case, it is going to be very interesting...
I’ve been waiting for this reaction since Wednesday and it did not disappoint. Keep up the good work!
Armormer: "Have you ever removed your helmet?"
Din Djarin: 😰... "See, what had happened was..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then he just stops, shrugs his shoulders and says "my son needed to see me."
Not sure if you guys have ever considered it, but I for one would love to watch your reactions to Clone Wars and Rebels. So much of what happens in those shows is going to be key to events in the shows to come.
In any case, I love watching you all for your love of Star Wars, Marvel, and Invincible. Hope you guys continue to do reactions for as long as you enjoy doing so 💙
I second every word of that
yeah, they missing out on the whole lore of the Dark Saber in Rebels. We know what Din needs to do to make the Dark Saber lighter. This is where Luke can help him.
I love that these two shows are interwoven. Very good episode.
This CHANGED TV cinematic Storytelling HISTORY.. UNDERRATED & unprecedented, and most ppl don't even know
Jesus guys! I thought you had split up or something like that. Everytime I finish watching these episodes I come back running to the channel because it feels like I'm sharing thoughts and geeking out with my friends. This was by far the most exciting episode yet and it felt like forever waiting for the reaction haha
I agree. I checked every day this week. I saw it was up on Patreon, but damn, their Patreon says if it's the end of the month, consider signing up in a week or so at the first of the month so you don't get charged twice. Been waiting for this!
@@Skye_Writer Honestly, I’m just glad that you read that because many don’t, and then get mad at us for not telling them 🤷🏻♂️
I missed our Space Dad. I really hope Mando S3 will release this year. You think Din will run into a Mythosaur when he goes to Mandalore?
That would be amazing! Especially if he rides it!
@@matthollands7771 or boba helps teach him to ride it
@@matthollands7771 hell yeah! I feel like they hinted at that in this episode.
Boba has his Rancor to ride, Mando gets the Mythosaur, only fair.
They say that this episode actually was S3E1 from Mando, they added it just to tie the story with boba but by far one of the best episodes with the one from last week as well! You guys rock💪🏽
Bryce Dallas Howard directed this episode to perfection.
"The sacred waters under the mines of Mandalore", and "Tatooine was once covered in oceans" are too much to be coincidence. The Obi-Wan series will show us caverns under the sands of Tatooine with lakes or even oceans, and Tatooine will become the next Mandalore. The Tuskens would be a great warrior culture to bring into the Mandalorians to help fill the ranks.
I'm pretty sure the cryogenic density combustion booster the jawas brought back to Mando was a nod to the piece of junk Han used in the trash compactor scene in A New Hope.
That is absolutely correct.
I think the reason they showed Mano checking the darksaber with security was to confirm to the audience he still had it after leaving the Mandolorian order.
This is the BEST deep cut on the Mandalorian lore ever in Star Wars.
"I almost said The Mandalorian"
Well.. You're not wrong.. XD
Note the spikes on her helmet. She's a devotee of Darth maul when he was Mandalore. She is Rook
Sweet Jesus never been this fast! Been looking forward to this all day
I love the way the describe the N-1 as being "bumpy" because that's how real planes feel. Cargo/passenger planes are designed to be stable and comfortable but the side effect is that they aren't super maneuverable. A F-16 fighter jet is designed specifically to be unstable in the air because it makes them more twitchy/maneuverable
8:35 The Armorer training session is reminiscent of Kanan training Sabine with the Dark Saber
The Ace Ventura 2 and sly "Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories" references had me laughing 🤣🤣
Let me just say that I made a very manly and not at all high-pitched (yes, I'm lying) squee when I saw the BD-droid. They even got the constantly-in-motion mannerisms down right! BD-droids are basically the Jack Russell terriers of droids.
Mando joining Boba brings the darksaber and all the mandolorians + Cob Vanth and other tuskin tribs, not to mention Greff and Ahsoka possible Is to help him learn balance for the dark saber
I just wanted Luke Skywalker to sit down next to Mando and be like, "You checked the Dark Saber?..."
I'm convinced that it's a ball/knob made of beskar with a beskar chain, to hang it on. Like some beskar bling.
I agree 100%
So happy someone else was thinking the same thing. That Purple Rain "waters of Lake Minnetonka joke" was the first thing I thought of 😂😅
Cheers
If you know, you know 🤷🏾♀️💜
DUDE !!!! She spoke JAWA!! That's AWESOME!
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥
“He’s going to return to the waters of Lake Minnetonka… and have pancakes!” 🟣🌧
DED. 🤣😆😂😝
Adam needs to take the fellas on a journey through Rebels. there’s a little episode called Trials of the Darksaber they need to watch
And I’m a NEED the BTS for that one-shot, it was incredible
I was waiting too long for this reaction lol
I know what you guys mean about tapping into our memories of Star Wars. I haven't seen a prequel in ages but they exist in my memory. As the content of those films is referred to or built upon by other shows, those memories get updated. I wasn't a fan of the prequels when they came out (I'm late 40s) but they are becoming better movies because the story they are built on is growing like this.
Dave Filoni once said yeah we have space battles and cool characters, but "At the end of the day, Star Wars is about family"
Crazy how the best episode in the book of Boba Fett is all about the Mandalorian. It's amazing how attached I'm to the story of the Mandalorian only after this short while. this last episode could be truly epic. role on Wednesday. This is the Way.
At 3:13, I was like, “Did we just go to Ringworld? Are we going to see a Pierson’s Puppeteer next?”
That is one loooooooooooooooooong transport stop. For Mando to see the young Rodian, disembark, work on a new ship, take it for a test ride, and then see the same kid in the same ship, it must have been one hell of a delay.
It is funny, but as I watch you guys I finally think I believe the Mandalorian returned. That is to say, Din Djarin in my mind is the modern day concept of what was Boba Fett. And while Boba Fett was classified a Mandalorian, and the Star Wars canon and legends have specifically defined a "Mandalorian", there was a time wherein the meaning of "Mandalorian" was in mind and imagination of the audience. Din Djarin returns to the made up concepts of what it means to be a Mandalorian only to be told that he no longer fits the strict concept, and by the end of the episode he readily accepts returning to the original Boba Fett. The Mandalorian again becomes and can be what we perceive or imagine him to be. Meta.
I absolutely love watching your reactions. It makes my day when I get the notification
Mando with that Dark Saber! The scene of Night Of 1000 Tears epic! Too bad about the spear but it's a gift for Grogu. All the lore, references on Tatooine and the Starfighter! Thank you Bryce, Favreau & Filoni! 2 to go!
I swear there making us fall in love with this franchise that we already love it’s like renewing your vows to a show 😂 and I wonder if they will bring up bobba’s sister at some point because that would blow my mind like seeing Asoka
I always loved the Naboo starfighter in games. Fast, maneuverable, and generally had adequate shielding and weapons. I love Mando's hot-rodded version.
Speaking of the games, I was really familiar with that pod-racing track, not only from Episode 1, but also from the N64 game, Pod Racer. I still have the pod I built in the game stored on a memory card and can jump on and play any time I like.
When Paz Vizsla pulls out a vibro-blade to attack, only to have it destroyed by the Dark Saber, its actually a reference to a comment made by George Lucas, and reference by Dave Filoni at SW Celebration 2019, that a light saber would easily cut a vibro-blade in half. George then designed the Dark Saber. Filoni's revelation of this tidbit can be found at the 35:00 mark here: ruclips.net/video/RsrTkOcLGVM/видео.html
I appreciate a man who can reference "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls"
I loved this episode...this was amazing, honestly, the attention to detail is incredible...fun fact- the "cryogenic density combustion booster", is the same thing that Luke used in the rubbish compactor with Han.....my star wars mind is blown.....This is the way !!
And they mentioned it was from the Pykes spice train that Boba derailed.
Did you notice the pole that the jawas got for mando, was the same thing that Han used to try and stop the trash compactor.
You know, Favreau only performs the voice dub for Paz Vizsla. That guy is being played by the same one who got his drink spilled by Mando in the very first episode, Tait Fletcher. ("Uba hasa, mee yocola!")
Wait wait, Hector, where did the Lake Minnetonka reference come from? @11:00. I live in Minnesota and that lake is like 20 feet away at any given point.
Theories:
A. When the Armorer told Din he was a "Mandalorian no more" it had 2 meanings. 1) He was no longer part of their group/religion/sect. And 2) He was no longer just a Mandalorian. That his past time with Grogu and the experiences he's going to have with him and others in the future...are going to make him more. Like part Mandalorian and part Jedi. Or part Mandalorian creed and some other evolved version of that.
B. We haven't seen/heard the last of Moff Gideon. When Din told the Armorer what happened and that he was going to be tried, convicted and punished by the New Republic....the Armorer said, "We shall see." As if to say she didn't believe or "see" that as happening.
C. Pelli Motto (Amy's character) is going to be off-world in the future. She specifically said, she never had been. And given everything that's coming up with Boba & the Pykes and her now friendship with Din....she's part of the crew now. She could experience fallout from the war and have to leave Tatooine...or maybe she's part of helping to revive Mandalore....which brings me to my next theory.
D. Din....with Grogu by his side is going to return to Mandalore and help restore that planet. Particularly, the waters under the mines that he needs to reintegrate into the creed. Grogu is Force sensitive and could definitely revitalize those waters. Or at least reintegration going to be his intent. Whether that goal remains consistent or it evolves over time, remains to be seen. But I think a return to Mandalore is the focus of S3.
E. Finally, I don't think we're going to see Mando with Grogu in the next eppy of TBOBF. Think about it...he has to find him. It's not like they're pen pals and staying in touch. Din's not a Jedi, he can't sense Grogu's location. He'd have to search for and find him and we don't have time for that. I think we'll pick back up with Boba and Fennec and their battle with the Pykes and all the people she's recruited to help and in the final episode, Din will show up at a crucial point and assist. Possibly with Grogu or possibly not. I Think S3 of the Mandalorian we'll see in flashback how they reunited and what that experience was. Maybe he get some Jedi training or tips from Luke. Maybe he just watch Luke training Grogu. I think he will have picked up some things and be better with the saber but not fully trained with it yet. But again, I don't think we'll see that on screen until S3 of The Mandalorian.
Lake Minnetonka and some pancakes😂😂 From someone who's lived in Minnesnowta his whole life, that was gold
This episode was such a delight, as a newer Star Wars fan I'm enjoying this show more than I thought I would cause I have no previous attachment to Boba Fett. I've seen the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy but not the prequels, yet.
When he says might could be, thats a callback to Cowboys and Aliens
I love that the X-Wing pilot is the dad from Kim's Convenience hahaha
And the music when that ship came out………..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I almost said The Mandalorian"
Well, you wouldn't be wrong lol
Took 5 weeks and episodes to get to see badass Boba Fett kicking ass and collecting a bounty as we hoped he would in his show in the opening of The Return of the King Mandalorian
Love the big Terminator call back from Bryce Dallas Howard who was herself in a Terminator movie!
I didn't know the wachutus were biters!!…. Bruuuuuhhh hella funny. Great video guys. BDH killed it in this episode. Best one so far this season. Can’t wait for the last 2.
I thought I would never find this comment! BumbleBee Tuna to you my friend.
"It's an N1 starfighter!"
Mando: "does it come in black?"
Many characters in these Disney series’ have made appearances in other shows, i.e. Ahsoka and even Boba, and The Mandalorian is the next to do it. That series is the strongest by far, but his story follows what’s going on with Boba. All the mandalorian stories were so informative and the episode exceeded all expectations for me. So good…..:)
That megastructure at the beginning is a Dyson Ring.
Adam at the start: 'I almost said The Mandalorian'
...little did he know
Mando is going to go see his little friend, give him the 🎁 and luke will train mando in how to use the dark saber
Can Luke train someone who is not a youngling or a Jedi Knight
I’m so glad they’re not going with a rigid helmet for Grogu . That would be awkward for someone with big bendy ears not to mention his arms can’t reach the top of his head . Remember the spiders ? One of the guys on Blind Wave said it’ll probably be a coif and /or chainmail robe which would be perfect .
That remixed theme when din was inspecting the ship was nostalgic
I think the Ringworld is named in the Descriptive Audio closed captioning. I forget the name. Gallox, or something similar sounding.
I love the name of the episode. It seems to have had a double meaning. Din Djarin returns to bounty hunting, and he returns to Children of the Watch.
I do agree that there is a bit too much desert planets in Star Wars these days and the problem doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon because I assume Kenobi is probably gonna be mostly on tatooine too
