This episode was horrible. I don’t care what anyone says. Disney is ruining everything. They touch seasons one and two are so perfect. And so far this season has been disappointing and this episode has killed it for me.
@@Wrcallofduty420 yeh there starting to get too different from Star Wars and doesn’t have that Star Wars feel that seasons 1 and 2 did there being too bold and exotic this season and it’s not working at all
This season is wild, we have nazi scientists being rehabilitated, we have Din being racist, but you know what we don't have? Moff Gideon goddammit I want to see him
I can't agree. The episode where they were saving the Mandalorian child felt like a pure filler. And I still have no clue how Din feels, or what his goal is. I guess he's the side character for this season.
This was very much an Alice in Wonderland episode. Complete with a weird tea party and playing lawn billiards and finding who has been painting the droids red question.
This was the Law & Order episode. The special guest star was the episode’s villain. They had a good cop/bad cop dynamic like Benson and Stabler. They interviewed witnesses, they even did a zoom and enhance on the forensic evidence.
And honestly it was quite briliant from a meta perspective to have all three of these major cameos in the same episode. Like you said the special guest is the villain, but when you have _three_ special guests it still leaves room for a bit of a guessing game
it seems to me he actually looks more like clone 99, if they had ever made clone wars (the animated series) in live action. but i guess for actors who are also star wars fans, this may have been his last chance to have some sort of role in the galaxy far far away.
That Super Battle Droid really runs like a human somehow. It just has such organic movements. I always thought they were stiff and robotic, only marching in one direction. That one felt alive. Could they always move like that? Imagine if they all moved so fluently during the Clone Wars.
Leave droids running long enough and they develop all sort of oddities. How long since the clone wars now? By my estimate it's been thirty years since the clone wars ended, that's ten times longer than the war itself.
@@airistal I was mostly thinking about them having the physical capabilities to do it. Like, I didn't know they had that level of articulation. I thought their metal joints would only allow their limbs to move in certain ways. Think of a protocol droid not being able to move their arms like a human, for example.
Droids are known to develop sentience after a sufficient amount of time. It's why R2 is R2. R2 has been online and never had a mind wipe in decades which allowed him to develop a personality.
I feel like people who didn’t like this episode missed it’s importance: Bo and Djinn are working to restore Mandalore, and in this episode they got diplomatic recognition from another planet, as well as an entire Mandalorian fleet. That seems pretty important and great progress.
We didn't miss that. It's just been a horribly constructed season with no overall cohesion and direction apart from : reclaim mandalore, oh, and wannabe-Vader is back. Disney products start off great and then sputter and burn out when the execs realize what they thought would be poorly received is actually liked by the fans. You could have had Bo have her redemptive arc (complete with reclaiming the light Sabre) if it had been done properly without sidelining the main character which is the main draw for most fans. P.S.: we are allowed to critique the shows/movies we watch without turning into blind/irate fan boys. This show has become a farcry from its earlier seasons with regards to quality, pacing, tension and dialogue
bryce decided to do a 360 turn to the way she directed the previous mandalorian episodes, and it resulted in one of the most bizarre and funniest episodes, every time this series feels like watching clone wars, and I'm not complaining, that show was always the representation of what star wars is, now we know that it can be more than just that(andor), but it is not bad to remember its roots
This episode touched on two areas I really wanted to learn more about: driod sentience and rights, and Separatists. Droids being essentially immortals bound in servitude, I wanted to learn more about their underground culture and beliefs as a group, and got some here. And I love the idea that a number of planets are taking a third option and pursuing non-alignment with the New Republic or Imperial remnants, like Navarro and Mandalore. While the cameos and everything were wacky, I wished that those subjects had been explored deeper.
Bo will have the Blade but Mando and Grogu will ride the Mythosaur. Grogu can reason with it and I think Bo will have Din as her advisor or something high in her inner circle (not shipping them, but it’s not unreasonable to think of it). This episode shows they are stronger together, each bringing something to the table.
Grogu's journey has been on the backburner and he is a Mandalorian. We're certainly due some space magic. But the series will have to finish with some drama that sends Mando off on another quest, and it should be something already in play. Maybe Grogu has some cousins (or clones) to rescue.
Yeah, honestly think Bo would also eventually see Grogu as her successor and Din does get the Mythosaur. So eventually Grogu will get Bo's saber, and Din's cool fucking dragon. In that case he can eventually become similar to the first Mand'alor.
Technically they weren't cameos. Cameos are always uncredited small roles. These were not uncredited. Sean Connery showing up as King Richard at the end of "Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves", THAT was a cameo. Daniel Craig playing a stormtrooper in "The Force Awakens" THAT was a cameo.
@@Quotenwagnerianer No, that's not right at all lol. Cameos are any big character OR star. Stan Lee is the most famous but having these famous actors or a character like Cad Bane in Boba Fett are all cameos. A big surprise.
I think the term you're looking for is "Special Guest," which is when stars of either high caliber or popularity appear in a credited role which influences the plot.
I can't be the only one who thought that was weird, right? He's suppose to be a child, not a pet. The lip smacking and offering food and rubbing the head that way is what you do with a pet, not a child.
The whole concept of the battle droid running look so amazing with that robot style mixed with that human bases performance. It had that Blade Runner feel to it.
Holy fucking shit l remember you, you comment on every video like a lifeless NPC and you wouldn't reply even if your grandpa was held at gun point, even didn't change your pfp since 2017. No way you aint a bot
@@deathgun5925That's what I've been saying. I kept saying "imagine if they could all move like that in the Clone Wars. The clones would have been in trouble". Makes me wonder why they couldn't.
@@mr.waiyanlin1791 I think it was different though, and actually looked more stiff and robotic. This one was like a human in terms of how fluid its motions were.
I love how Din and Bo were just as weirded out as we were lol. This was a very fun and bizarre episode. I hope these next two episodes get us back on track with Gideon and the reclaiming of Mandalore.
I literally lost it when I saw jack and then Loyd came and I realized that mandalorian has become so iconic in today's culture these great actors all want to be a part of it and I love it
i think the reason why Bo/Din’s chemistry was weird was because this episode was trying to emulate a CSI-esque vibe. i loved it tbh, it showed that it doesn’t take itself too seriously and isn’t afraid of going back to wacky Star Wars.
same. I love how diverse this season seems to be in terms of characters, storylines, and overall themes. it’s been super enjoyable for me and my only complaint has been that I want more haha 😅
Or Din and Bo with Obi and Satine. It was exactly one of the 'Plot on Mandalore' eps. in live-action. Or, for that matter, I thought it was AotC through-and-through, just replace Bo and Din with Anakin and Obi-Wan and the B2 with Zam, the mystery of the rogue droids with Obi's investigation into the clones, and the Obi/Jango fight with Bo/Woves. And it's all capped with Count Dooku and the Separatists. (And just like with AotC, let the online complaining commence!)
I didn’t liked it, the argument of Mando so Bo can take the Dark Saber again is kinda stupid, and she is putting Mando in the Side Character Role in his own goddamn show Edit: Relax guys, it’s just my personal opinion, as someone who doesn’t criticizes very much i just had to drop it, no need to start a war here!
I love how it feels like a naturally expanding story within the SW universe with the addition of new characters and cameos. Personally, I don't think there's been a boring episode yet!
It really revealed allot about droids in the universe. it was so uncanny seeing a super battle droid act like a fleeing suspect instead of a mindless soldiers
I really like that this show is trying some weird creative shit. Even if it's hit or miss the fact that they are exploring what they could do with the universe is endearing.
yeah this one was really random. but romance in star wars will never not be cringe. they should just stop trying it. whether it's han and leia, amidala and anakin, rey and kylo or here with these aliens or even the suspected buildup to din and bo-katan. please just no. 😄
@@Ruzzky_Bly4tI disagree. After season two and BOBF, I assumed this season would be heavy on the Mandalorian culture. Din trying to redeem himself, possible conflict between he and Bo and the other Mandos, and would they be able to restore Mandalore. Who would end up with the Darksaber? With Ahsoka coming soon, there would also be the possibility of more hints of Thrawn and other Imperials. With Rangers of the New Republic seemingly no longer in development and no Gina Carano, they probably had to rework some things and incorporate those into this and other shows. We are also seeing Grogu develop a bit more, using the Force, almost speaking, and we got the Order 66 flashback So, while some things seem a little weird and oddly structured, many of the important points are being hit, and we have two more episodes this season.
It feels like this series was written like one of the cartoons and I mean that in a good way. I’ve loved all the self contained stories and its what the show has always been in my opinion
I thought that that was such a cop out. All the tension built up with who the owner was and they do it like that. Idk seems like they could have done it better
I really loved this episode! It really continues to highlight the failings of human behavior. Just like in episode 2, people are STILL ignoring all the signs of danger just to be comfortable again. Remember, even with all the malfunctions the PEOPLE voted to continue as if nothing happened. Star Wars is a cyclical commentary on the saying “If you don’t learn from history, you are bound to repeat it.”
I realize this episode was weird but I still had a good time - plus I enjoyed seeing how Bo and Din work together, especially how they balance each other out - I hope they stay a duo 🤞🏻
I read that John Favreau credits running Dungeons and Dragons with learning how to write stories. The side quest aspect of his stories SHOWS IT! I mean that in the best way, I love that it feels like an RPG, but it really shows sometimes.
This very much feels like an early season 1 episode to me. Just Mando and friends dashing about the place and completing sidequests for whoever is in charge of the area in order to get what he needs
I loved this episode and teared up at the end, as it reminded me of Rebels when Sabine Wren gave Bo Katan the dark saber. The Mandalorians are rebuilding their world and status in the galaxy. The ending was epic. Bo Kantan continues to show her power and growth. Mando shows his leadership and wisdom, and Grogru keeps being adorable. We see an excellent translation of the "Filoniverse" from animation to live action. Bryce Dallas Howard needs to be the next Star Wars film director.
That's actually one of the problems with the episode, Bo Katan has already wielded the dark saber and when she did she brought the Mandalorians to the brink of extinction a proper build up and a proper use of character development would be FAR wiser then retreading previous story arcs
I don’t recall any battle droid being this agile and fast. It defies every droid physical mechanics and movements Star Wars has ever shown. I have spoken.
please, don't compare this weak and lazy episode to Cyberpunk detective missions. They didn't even bother to show how useless the citizens would be. Just a small scene where they are showing how miserable the citizens are without the droids. No drama, no fear....
This whole episode felt like Favreau wrote it while high on LSD, Howard was stoned af while she directed it and the casting director had one drink too many.
I hate how the fan base on Twitter has been harassing people who are loving or liking this season. Your guy’s reactions give me hope in humanity when the fandom fails to do so.
The last Jedi, the rise of skywalker, deleting all the legends characters, solo (which I liked but still a fail) Kenobi, book of boba, Mando season 3, cancelling 16719 movies seems like enough to be a bit frustrated
i was so excited for this episode, but as much as it was cool, it didn't really feel like I was watching the mandolorian. It just lacked any tension or buildup that i hoped would be there following the end of last episode. I just hope that the final 2 episodes can finally bring us back to the level of film making and story telling we had in seasons 1 and 2, and finally work more on Grogu and Din's stories properly, as right now it feels like everything is progressing around them while they're just bystanders watching on.
I have noticed a certain "species-ism" among characters in the shows, as well as those that react to the shows. It was interesting to watch the reaction to the interspecies love and kiss in this episode. I couldn't help but wonder how many had a similar reaction to the Kirk/Uhura kiss when it first aired. Non-humanoid creatures in the Star Wars universe are often treated as little more than "critters" regardless of their sentience.
I agree with Greg, felt like Dinn isn't the main character anymore:( I understand that the title of the show reflects not just Dinn as the Mandalorian, but also Grogu and other Mandalorians, but as a show you still have to have a main character. I need more Dinn and Grogu!!
They were a good Team. Bo(good cop) Din (Bad Cop). It was nice to see Bo's high respect for Din Djarin and vice versa. I think they will be a good family. Queen(Mom), Worker(din), grogu(son) what are your thoughts?
A strong woman doesn't have to mean a weak man. I wish they'd give Din more moments to shine and be seen as Bo's equal. As much as I love seeing Bo be a badass and have no issues with her story arc, I miss seeing Din be a badass, but we have yet to see that side of him as it relates to Bo and that's really frustrating. It always seems one sided with Din being way out of his depth. I hope we'll see a scene where he saves her for a change. I have spoken.
I like this episode. It's aaaaaall in the microexpressions, guys. And yes, the theme is definitely love. Mon Calamari prince and the captain? A tragedy. The duchess and ex-imperial? A happy ending. What about a princess and an ex-bounty hunter turned daddy? We shall see. Expecting Din to reciprocate Bo's signal right now, is like expecting Tech 😢 to initiate flirtatious jokes with Phee. But at least they're getting to know each other by bickering, running, and kicking droids, right? That's character development, in a way.
@@aspenator42 they met when Din's over 30 almost 40. That means they're fully grown adults and responsible for their own descision. That's okay for me.
The cameos were just so OUT THERE and I loved them for that, among many other things. Yes, this episode was strange, but it's the kind of strange Star Wars can get away with and as strange sci-fi goes, I really enjoyed just how OUT THERE the entire episode was. It was fun :)
Its repetitive. Its almost like there is no plot. Send Din jarin on a useless mission quest with bland dialogue and a few action scenes. Over and over and over. Boba fet was supposed to be the Mandalorian season 3 and the writers have clearly no clue what to do with the characters.
@@originaldelta I don't really find it repetitive. Maybe in previous seasons, but even then I don't have a problem with it. To me the Mandalorian is more like the live action version of The Clone Wars. It has a good mix of episodic and serialized over-arching stuff that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. This season especially to me has been the least repetitive of the three seasons. Hardly at all: Episode 1: Mando's looking for Mandalore to bathe in it's Waters and be Reborn. Episode 2: Mando finds Mandalore and with Bo-Katan and Grogu's help, finds the Waters and both Bo-Katan and Mando are reborn after they each took a plunge. Episode 3: an entirely different story being told that still ties into the current arch involving Grogu, the Empire/First Order and cloning, where we follow a man wanting to do some good for the new republic by bringing back his cloning studies and tech to have it suit a more noble selfless purpose. Oh and Bo-Katan and Din are welcomed back into the Creed. Episode 4: The Mandalorians have to rescue one of their foundlings while we learn the secret of how Grogue escaped Order 66 featuring Ahmed Best's spectacular vindication back into Star Wars. Episode 5: Navarro is taken over by the pirates we meet in Episode 1 and the Mandalorians dive in to liberate the city and its people, resulting in the Armorer granting Bo-Katan the freedom to be helmet less to prop her up as a symbol for unification between different Mandalorian tribes since she's of two different sides of their coin and the rightful ruler of Mandalore. Episode 6: Din and Bo-Katan try to unify their first tribe, Bo-Katan's old Mandalorian crew who've become hired mercenaries, but must first help a couple of diplomats restore peace to their city to gain access to her old crew. The generally story seems to be uniting the Mandalorians with Din and Bo-Katan leading this effort, while the side plot brewing in the background continues to revolve around Grogu's importance to the Empire and how that ties into the Sequel Trilogy. Literally only the most recent episode so far has felt the most side-quest-y, but the important stuff still comes together at the very end of it.
im liking this slow burn this season, it makes the world seem so much bigger. If every episode is a jammed packed adventure, eventually that will get very old and that bar will be very tough to top. new planets, new characters, new species, character development for bo katan hat weve wanted so much, and our villain is terrifying because we know hes VERY MAD and planning something insane. I LOVE THIS SEASON.
I don't know, felt like one huge side quest to me. It has the pace of Andor but lacks the dialogue and character depth that made Andor so interesting to watch. I still don't know what Din wants, what he feels, and what his goal is. It feels like Grogu has received more character development than him. We have faced a bunch of arbitrary "challenges" like the tie fighter chase, the weird creature in Mandalor, and the pirate attack, but nothing significant or long-term. This would be fine if the season wouldn't have just 8 episodes.
This was a fun episode and I liked it. I’m hoping the cameos will bring more attention to the show and give our Filoni & Favreau duo a bigger platform.
This will be lost here, but here's why it felt so weird. 1. They open with the mandos, not fighting, not showing off their strength but just using their big ship to intimidate a smaller ship, it's not really all that impressive. Later, they say, "That's an impressive fleet" but you get TOLD that in this episode, they should have shown an action set piece early on. 2. No consequences. Their writing diverted from "every robot is infected with the override code." and "Only a specific batch of robots who drank the poison code" are malfunctioning because of that code? There were no threats to things we liked, even having some robots spying on the leaders and them being paranoid of the robot malfunctioning and attacking them mixed with their need to be served. Imagine if Lizzo or JB were reliant on a droid to live or something. 3. DARK SABER MESSAGING. I thought this episode would show that between Bo and Din them basically exchanging the saber and saving each other. So at the end, when they go out on a technicality we can see Bo basically make the choice between honoring "The Way" or taking Din's position, murky at best, and leading her fleet, that back and forth imo would have been great. 4. Christopher Lloyd wasn't great. Love the actor, but his character didn't have an endgame or any specific goals that we were aware of outside, at some point turning the entire droid army against the people, but for who, why? Is the most compelling reasons, "they'd die, so we can't do it"? It didn't work at all for me. His ending was also lame, "Yes, I threatened the entire planet." "Well, you're exiled, byeeee" tonally it was wayy off. 5. The fight at the end, was way to short, way to "nice" and basically felt like a Mando fight checklist. "Flamethrower, check. Bomb check. Tether attack, check. Knife throwing check. Ok we're done here, Bo wins." Should have been brutal, should have had to fight between bruises, broken bones and not whatever this slap fight was. 6. Instead of returning to the Ungars? idk how to spell them, but the mechanics. Why not go back to them to help figure out the whole nano-bot issue. Them being upset their work was corrupted by the official, making them look bad, seems like a good motivation to get them involved, but no we go to CSI Plantir 15 or whatever, where Din saves Bo... with Bo's darksaber that she didn't take from Din on the first technicality, technically making it... his again...? I think all those issue are the major reasons why this episode felt as Greg said, clunky. Thanks if you read this; I had it get it out of my brain.
Well, this really felt like some of the episodes from the first season or like a live action Clone Wars episode, still not sure how I feel about whatever was that I just watched but at least you can tell the actors were having fun!
tbh my thoughts on the episode were as exactly as Din said: you had me at battle droids 🤣 also absolutely loved seeing Christopher Lloyd in Star Wars, that really made this one of my favorite episodes of the season... but i can see where the disconnect in tone is throughout. it does all feel too easy, which actually gives me more of an ominous feeling?? so i can't tell if it IS all too easy or if we should be waiting for the other shoe to drop...
This episode really was a fever dream come to life. From the weird Romeo and Juliet romance in the beginning, to the surprise cameos, then to Christopher Lloyds somewhat “sinister” plot, to Grogu being knighted which came out of absolutely no where. Honestly what drugs did Jon Favreu take when he wrote this episode??
The funny thing is that the way this show is shot allows the entire plot to be cut out. The scenes where they’re on the monorail can be seamlessly be cut together to make it where they land then go to Axe Woves
@@GirthCheck the clone wars feeling doesn't work in live action. I love that show. But this episode was some of the cringiest stuff i have seen in a while. Absolutely no depth or intrigue in the story.
@Pran Joshi well we disagree. I think it was great watching the Star Wars buddy cop on this new planet. To each his own though, I like Star Wars, and this felt very Star Wars.
This was a very important episode. This quickly sets up the finale where Bo Katan will be able to lead both the Night Owls, and the Children of the Watch, against possibly Moff Gideon and, in the Asoka series, Grand Admiral Thrawn. The filler portion, of this episode, raises Grogu’s status. He may be able to, one day, call in a favor since he is now, Sir Grogu. The Mandalorian may be able to find that one missing droid part. Who knows? This episode is part of a build up of allies. It was silly, but a blast to watch Detective Din Jarin and Constable Bo Katan , figure out why the droids were malfunctioning. The only thing that didn’t make any sense to me is why, oh Lord why, would you put your name on the nanodroids that is causing the droids to go haywire? Not a good way to do things.
But dont you have a problem with this ,i hate the idea of bo katan doing that coz that means just like with the rest of the season they forgot about the main character and decided to focus on a side character ,I hate that
@@jonnyhill1155 Please keep in mind that Jon Favreau is turning lemons into lemonade with this whole season because of Kathleen Kennedy’s interference. When she interfered with his original season three storyline, she forced him to lose a lot of time to properly develop other storylines that would not have been present in this season. To get back on track, Jon Favreau is using this season to make up for lost time. With that being said, Jon is making a very strategic effort to set up the Asoka series properly. It’s going to be a Herculean task, but if he can do this, then the first season of Ashoka will take over all the baggage that season three, of the Mandalorian, had to create, and this will allow the Mandalorian to get back on his original path ( well, sort of): being a bounty hunter.
@@jonnyhill1155 It was never said Din is the main character. "The Mandalorian" is a fitting description for half of the characters the show has focused on since the first episode.
My jaw totally dropped when JB and Lloyd entered the scenes! :D JB needs to get the producer and director's to get him in again with Septiceye that would be an AWESOME episode/cameo. :)
I really loved the unexpected people that showed up on this episode. Other than the 3rd episode, which featured very little in the way of action, this season has been really fun!
I watched this episode and loved it. Thought it was so different and unique. Which made it feel much more Clone Wars. Was surprised but how extreme and confused their reaction was. 😂 everyone is allowed their own option on it but I absolutely loved this episode.
@@bryceandriano4032 how ? The dark Saber was hers and belongs to her ..it’s her destiny to retake mandelore … haven’t you seen clone wars … it’s would fit perfectly
@@sese8976 I have seen the clone wars and if you want to be technical about the saber is ashokas or mauls not bo katona. Mual beat visla and ashoka beat him. The clone wars is the reason bo should not have the saber she is a bad person who was fine killing her sister and who has lead the mandalorians to there doom twice. So no bo should not have the saber in any way shape or form, also we have already got plenty of screen time with bo in the clone wars she does not need to steal this show from din.
You had me at battle droids........................... The writing for this show is so WIZARD!!!! Imagine if Feloni was given creative control of episodes 7-9
It is nice to hear critique and that you aren't just agreeing with everything and cheering it on. The show feels like the anticipation each week is to see who guest stars and who directs.

Sorry guys, I can’t agree with you here. This was a great episode. Can’t wait to watch it again.
i love how literally 5 minutes after mando becomes a cop he IMMEDIATELY starts racially profiling the droids 🤣 this man's a menace!
He's been doing that since age 8
Well he did get the work done😅
This season is wild, we have nazi scientists being rehabilitated, we have Din being racist, but you know what we don't have? Moff Gideon goddammit I want to see him
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well when B2 super battle droids come x wreck your home x kill all your family and friends you can't blame the guy.
I like how none of these episodes have been bad or boring, but the whole season we’ve been wildly confused as to where this story is going😂😭
This and episode 3 were very bad and very boring
Ep 1 was boring and this episode was terrible I mean who thought Lizzo was a good idea 😂
I can't agree. The episode where they were saving the Mandalorian child felt like a pure filler. And I still have no clue how Din feels, or what his goal is. I guess he's the side character for this season.
Yikes, this is not the way.
Well, one complaint I often saw about the first two seasons was that it was the same plot each episode, very predictable.
Love how Din and Bo did all the work and its Grogu who gets knighted
It's cause he helped her cheat. 😃
Nepotism at work eh? 😂
Chewbacca approves this point.
Current Society: EveryOne Gets a Trophy 🏆
This was very much an Alice in Wonderland episode. Complete with a weird tea party and playing lawn billiards and finding who has been painting the droids red question.
So true… Dr. Who and Alice In Wonderland with a hint of The Capital from Hunger Games minus the power.
With a dose of Epcot / Tomorrowland!
I love that there are still Separatists in the galaxy. That Count Dooku name drop was cool. Big fan of the guy.
That actor was the guy from back to the future lol
To me they feel like the boomers of Star Wars
Yoda still made Dooku run like a little bitch.
This was the Law & Order episode. The special guest star was the episode’s villain. They had a good cop/bad cop dynamic like Benson and Stabler. They interviewed witnesses, they even did a zoom and enhance on the forensic evidence.
And honestly it was quite briliant from a meta perspective to have all three of these major cameos in the same episode. Like you said the special guest is the villain, but when you have _three_ special guests it still leaves room for a bit of a guessing game
Also the Alice in Wonderland + Tomorrowland / Epcot episode.
I'm rolling lol.. amazing catch
I don't care how old Christopher Lloyd is now, the man has still got it as far as I am concerned.
He is a Great Actor!
I didn't even realize it was him! There were a couple of moments I thought it sounded like him but I somehow didn't put it together lol
it seems to me he actually looks more like clone 99, if they had ever made clone wars (the animated series) in live action. but i guess for actors who are also star wars fans, this may have been his last chance to have some sort of role in the galaxy far far away.
This episode felt like one of them random adventures in clone wars and I loved every minute of this 😅
Clone Wars was 22 episodes per season. This is only 6.
@@Haegemon but this was episode 22. Kind of fitting
I don’t understand how people critiqued the episode and Lizzo. I thought both were great.
@@ghanjagang3682 people just got to hate something
That Super Battle Droid really runs like a human somehow. It just has such organic movements. I always thought they were stiff and robotic, only marching in one direction. That one felt alive. Could they always move like that? Imagine if they all moved so fluently during the Clone Wars.
The ugnauts were working on them in their area, maybe they refitted them with some newer tech?
Leave droids running long enough and they develop all sort of oddities. How long since the clone wars now? By my estimate it's been thirty years since the clone wars ended, that's ten times longer than the war itself.
@@airistal I was mostly thinking about them having the physical capabilities to do it. Like, I didn't know they had that level of articulation.

Perhaps the Sepratists purposely put limits on the, to make them easier to control, especially with their cheap programming
Droids are known to develop sentience after a sufficient amount of time. It's why R2 is R2. R2 has been online and never had a mind wipe in decades which allowed him to develop a personality.
I feel like people who didn’t like this episode missed it’s importance: Bo and Djinn are working to restore Mandalore, and in this episode they got diplomatic recognition from another planet, as well as an entire Mandalorian fleet. That seems pretty important and great progress.
We didn't miss that. It's just been a horribly constructed season with no overall cohesion and direction apart from : reclaim mandalore, oh, and wannabe-Vader is back. Disney products start off great and then sputter and burn out when the execs realize what they thought would be poorly received is actually liked by the fans. You could have had Bo have her redemptive arc (complete with reclaiming the light Sabre) if it had been done properly without sidelining the main character which is the main draw for most fans.
P.S.: we are allowed to critique the shows/movies we watch without turning into blind/irate fan boys. This show has become a farcry from its earlier seasons with regards to quality, pacing, tension and dialogue
bryce decided to do a 360 turn to the way she directed the previous mandalorian episodes, and it resulted in one of the most bizarre and funniest episodes, every time this series feels like watching clone wars, and I'm not complaining, that show was always the representation of what star wars is, now we know that it can be more than just that(andor), but it is not bad to remember its roots
180 turn.
360 turn is Book of Boba.
@@CO6883-o3c that episode she did in Boba was awesome
It's trash
@@Megaproductions302 it was the best episode of that series.
This episode touched on two areas I really wanted to learn more about: driod sentience and rights, and Separatists. Droids being essentially immortals bound in servitude, I wanted to learn more about their underground culture and beliefs as a group, and got some here. And I love the idea that a number of planets are taking a third option and pursuing non-alignment with the New Republic or Imperial remnants, like Navarro and Mandalore. While the cameos and everything were wacky, I wished that those subjects had been explored deeper.
Bo will have the Blade but Mando and Grogu will ride the Mythosaur. Grogu can reason with it and I think Bo will have Din as her advisor or something high in her inner circle (not shipping them, but it’s not unreasonable to think of it). This episode shows they are stronger together, each bringing something to the table.
Yeah she's way too old for him
Grogu's journey has been on the backburner and he is a Mandalorian. We're certainly due some space magic. But the series will have to finish with some drama that sends Mando off on another quest, and it should be something already in play. Maybe Grogu has some cousins (or clones) to rescue.
@@freelands8355 Do I have to mention Han Solo and Leia Organa?
@@LukiKruki You shouldn't have to...but some people are just forgetful...or dense.
Yeah, honestly think Bo would also eventually see Grogu as her successor and Din does get the Mythosaur. So eventually Grogu will get Bo's saber, and Din's cool fucking dragon. In that case he can eventually become similar to the first Mand'alor.
I love that blue-chrome protocol droid. It looks like he's a silver one that they just didn't peel the protective plastic off.
This episode was so crazy and weird, and seeing the surprise cameos was insane
Technically they weren't cameos. Cameos are always uncredited small roles. These were not uncredited.
Sean Connery showing up as King Richard at the end of "Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves", THAT was a cameo. Daniel Craig playing a stormtrooper in "The Force Awakens" THAT was a cameo.
@@Quotenwagnerianer No, that's not right at all lol. Cameos are any big character OR star. Stan Lee is the most famous but having these famous actors or a character like Cad Bane in Boba Fett are all cameos. A big surprise.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Daniel Craig as a storm trooper is not really a cameo because you dont even see his face. Its more of an easter egg
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 Maybe you should look it up before trying to correct me....
I think the term you're looking for is "Special Guest," which is when stars of either high caliber or popularity appear in a credited role which influences the plot.
Bo, Din and Grogu fell down the rabbithole into Wonderland. What a strange episode.
Grogu liking the massage that Lizzo was giving so hilarious and adorable at the same time.
That looked enticing lol
There’s nothing like someone massaging or scratching your scalp ❤❤❤
So adorable
I’ve tapped out already ! Glad I didn’t see this SNL Sketch. The quality, writing and acting has been appalling 🤦🏼♂️
I can't be the only one who thought that was weird, right?
He's suppose to be a child, not a pet. The lip smacking and offering food and rubbing the head that way is what you do with a pet, not a child.
Not just because of the droids, but the ambience and the story, everything makes me felt this episode as close as a mid season clone wars episode
The whole concept of the battle droid running look so amazing with that robot style mixed with that human bases performance. It had that Blade Runner feel to it.
Holy fucking shit l remember you, you comment on every video like a lifeless NPC and you wouldn't reply even if your grandpa was held at gun point, even didn't change your pfp since 2017. No way you aint a bot
If B2's could run like that in the Clone Wars Era, they would have been insane monsters. B2's running like that looked goofy though.
@@deathgun5925That's what I've been saying. I kept saying "imagine if they could all move like that in the Clone Wars. The clones would have been in trouble". Makes me wonder why they couldn't.
@@ShizuruNakatsu they ran toward clones while shooting their wrist blaster in attack of the clones final battle.
@@mr.waiyanlin1791 I think it was different though, and actually looked more stiff and robotic. This one was like a human in terms of how fluid its motions were.
When she was holding the Dark whatever in the daylight it gave me such Saturday morning live-action show vibes.
Seth Gabel, Bryce's Dallas Howards husband voices the droid during the sparkpad interrogation. She directed this crazy insanely fun episode.
I love how Din and Bo were just as weirded out as we were lol. This was a very fun and bizarre episode. I hope these next two episodes get us back on track with Gideon and the reclaiming of Mandalore.
I literally lost it when I saw jack and then Loyd came and I realized that mandalorian has become so iconic in today's culture these great actors all want to be a part of it and I love it
I’m telling you, Lizzo definitely said “I’ll do it, but I need to hold Grogu for the entire episode” 😂
i think the reason why Bo/Din’s chemistry was weird was because this episode was trying to emulate a CSI-esque vibe. i loved it tbh, it showed that it doesn’t take itself too seriously and isn’t afraid of going back to wacky Star Wars.
I didn’t mind all that but the way she got the dark saber was lame
This season may not be everyone cup of tea, but I'm enjoying the Hell out of it.
I want to see the finished product before I fully judge.
same. I love how diverse this season seems to be in terms of characters, storylines, and overall themes. it’s been super enjoyable for me and my only complaint has been that I want more haha 😅
FR
I’ve loved every episode, I don’t care about story building at the moment honestly, i just love some good Star Wars content for once lol 💯🤙
@@andrewyachovitz6749 agreed
This episode was like a bizarre whimsical sidequest after you defeat a boss in Final Fantasy.
It took me out a bit but it was also fun
The "Gather the Infinity -1 weapon just for completition and bragging rights" quest.
I absolutely loved this episode. It could easily have been a Clone Wars episode if you had replaced Din and Bo with Anakin and Asoka.
Or Din and Bo with Obi and Satine. It was exactly one of the 'Plot on Mandalore' eps. in live-action. Or, for that matter, I thought it was AotC through-and-through, just replace Bo and Din with Anakin and Obi-Wan and the B2 with Zam, the mystery of the rogue droids with Obi's investigation into the clones, and the Obi/Jango fight with Bo/Woves. And it's all capped with Count Dooku and the Separatists. (And just like with AotC, let the online complaining commence!)
I didn’t liked it, the argument of Mando so Bo can take the Dark Saber again is kinda stupid, and she is putting Mando in the Side Character Role in his own goddamn show
Edit: Relax guys, it’s just my personal opinion, as someone who doesn’t criticizes very much i just had to drop it, no need to start a war here!
This is the Mandalorian, it doesn’t need to be another show.
@@Legxendcruxh100 I feel you buy technically Bo is also a Mando she might even be THE mandalorian
@@Legxendcruxh100 I mean, it's not called "The Din Djarin Show" it's called "The Mandalorian" so...which Mandalorian, exactly?
Well now I can imagine how terrifying if B2's were sprinting full force to kill Clones during the war.
I love how it feels like a naturally expanding story within the SW universe with the addition of new characters and cameos. Personally, I don't think there's been a boring episode yet!
It really revealed allot about droids in the universe.
it was so uncanny seeing a super battle droid act like a fleeing suspect instead of a mindless soldiers
@@bastik.3011 100%! That’s def a good thing. 😊
@@jennjacinda yeah and that the droids dont mind being "slaves"
People are saying this is the weakest of all the seasons. I'm not sure I agree. Am having a blast.
It’s been dope so far. I love it.
This is one of my favourite episodes. Droid Politics - Direct Democracy - All interesting concepts to me personally.
This was the most bizarre episode but also easily one my favorites of the whole show 😂
They're really going with 'you can tell any story in the Star Wars universe' theory on this one. This was some droid CSI shit.
This was peak ManDelorean. xD
@@Cpt.Str4ng3 clever👏👏
I really like that this show is trying some weird creative shit. Even if it's hit or miss the fact that they are exploring what they could do with the universe is endearing.
I just wish they would make it a more coherent story. So far, there is no clear goal or threat. Just a bunch of side quests.
yeah this one was really random. but romance in star wars will never not be cringe. they should just stop trying it. whether it's han and leia, amidala and anakin, rey and kylo or here with these aliens or even the suspected buildup to din and bo-katan. please just no. 😄
@@Ruzzky_Bly4tI disagree. After season two and BOBF, I assumed this season would be heavy on the Mandalorian culture. Din trying to redeem himself, possible conflict between he and Bo and the other Mandos, and would they be able to restore Mandalore. Who would end up with the Darksaber? With Ahsoka coming soon, there would also be the possibility of more hints of Thrawn and other Imperials. With Rangers of the New Republic seemingly no longer in development and no Gina Carano, they probably had to rework some things and incorporate those into this and other shows. We are also seeing Grogu develop a bit more, using the Force, almost speaking, and we got the Order 66 flashback
So, while some things seem a little weird and oddly structured, many of the important points are being hit, and we have two more episodes this season.
@@Ruzzky_Bly4t retaking mandelore … is this seasons story … very clear to me
@@vinsanity40k Bro, I'm not even talking about the romance... what?!
It feels like this series was written like one of the cartoons and I mean that in a good way. I’ve loved all the self contained stories and its what the show has always been in my opinion
Bad cartoon * 😂
@@niceandflyy bad opinion * you
"Dave Filoni does mushrooms" ...LOL perfect reaction to this episode
Din: it’s hers cause she won it in battle and saved me.
Bo: shit why didn’t I think of that!!!!😂😂😂😂
But then he saved her from the round droid idk 🤷🏻♂️
@@Icemanchild222 yes but not with the dark saber..that’s the key, Din got it taken from him and Bo picked it up and killed the thing that had it last.
I thought that that was such a cop out. All the tension built up with who the owner was and they do it like that. Idk seems like they could have done it better
Could y’all tell they LOVED each other.😂 it’s in the subtext.
Imagine one Battle Droid causing all that trouble. Now imagine the Clone Wars during the battle.
Yeah, and this Droid wasn't even armed^^"
I really loved this episode! It really continues to highlight the failings of human behavior. Just like in episode 2, people are STILL ignoring all the signs of danger just to be comfortable again. Remember, even with all the malfunctions the PEOPLE voted to continue as if nothing happened. Star Wars is a cyclical commentary on the saying “If you don’t learn from history, you are bound to repeat it.”
You are f**king retarded this episode was garbage af the lizzo cameo was cringe Disney just keeps destroying Star Wars
It’s definitely reflective of life now
I realize this episode was weird but I still had a good time - plus I enjoyed seeing how Bo and Din work together, especially how they balance each other out - I hope they stay a duo 🤞🏻
At the end of the day it was just a fun episode
The buddy space cop duo we didn't need. But we deserve.
*Agreed*
Din being the hard(er) ass detective from a crime drama was amazing to me.
I read that John Favreau credits running Dungeons and Dragons with learning how to write stories. The side quest aspect of his stories SHOWS IT! I mean that in the best way, I love that it feels like an RPG, but it really shows sometimes.
This very much feels like an early season 1 episode to me. Just Mando and friends dashing about the place and completing sidequests for whoever is in charge of the area in order to get what he needs
I loved this episode and teared up at the end, as it reminded me of Rebels when Sabine Wren gave Bo Katan the dark saber. The Mandalorians are rebuilding their world and status in the galaxy. The ending was epic. Bo Kantan continues to show her power and growth. Mando shows his leadership and wisdom, and Grogru keeps being adorable. We see an excellent translation of the "Filoniverse" from animation to live action. Bryce Dallas Howard needs to be the next Star Wars film director.
That's actually one of the problems with the episode, Bo Katan has already wielded the dark saber and when she did she brought the Mandalorians to the brink of extinction a proper build up and a proper use of character development would be FAR wiser then retreading previous story arcs
I started seeing online comments saying, “This episode feels like an SNL skit” - and I can’t unsee it now…
I love Mandalorian Season 3, its such a blast
....
I just wished it had an actual strong antagonist to drive it. I can feel the lack of Gideon
It really is. Every episode has left me thrilled!
it's been solid so far, not a big fan of the last episode, but it's cool
Agreed 👍
I love that they just put in actors people would know and get excited about in this episode
This was a rollercoaster of an episode. All hail Sir Grogu!
Soooo hes now a jedi...knight....? :'D

The scene of Din checking the battle droids and one of them running remains me at AI robot
I don’t recall any battle droid being this agile and fast. It defies every droid physical mechanics and movements Star Wars has ever shown. I have spoken.
The universe is vast - there are no limitations.
I loved the detective vibe. Reminds me of the investigation missions in Cyberpunk 2077
*Same here*
please, don't compare this weak and lazy episode to Cyberpunk detective missions. They didn't even bother to show how useless the citizens would be. Just a small scene where they are showing how miserable the citizens are without the droids. No drama, no fear....
Don’t you dare disrespect cyberpunk 2077

@@mahirrahmananan7025 I love both Worlds
I absolutely love the guards' clone-armor + cloak combo.
Actually they have the stormtrooper armor, but with that design they really look good
This whole episode felt like Favreau wrote it while high on LSD, Howard was stoned af while she directed it and the casting director had one drink too many.
It’s unfortunate but I’m so happy I wasn’t the only one caught off guard by HOW STRANGE THIS EPISODE WAS!
I hate how the fan base on Twitter has been harassing people who are loving or liking this season. Your guy’s reactions give me hope in humanity when the fandom fails to do so.
The Star Wars fandom is the worst. But like you said, there are a few diamonds in the rough.
It's like one screw up and start wars is officially dead

"You see where we're going here?" is my favorite line from this episode.
i was so excited for this episode, but as much as it was cool, it didn't really feel like I was watching the mandolorian. It just lacked any tension or buildup that i hoped would be there following the end of last episode. I just hope that the final 2 episodes can finally bring us back to the level of film making and story telling we had in seasons 1 and 2, and finally work more on Grogu and Din's stories properly, as right now it feels like everything is progressing around them while they're just bystanders watching on.
Let's hope. It felt like a bunch of side quests so far. And the season will only have 8 episodes.
This episode felt like a Mass Effect side mission in the best way. I had fun watching it.
I thought the same thing, the crime scene bit reminded me of Samara’s recruitment mission
Yes, I felt the same! Bo and Din's chat in the elevator and the sounds of the ships/cars traveling in the city brought me back.
And the droids helping organics are like the geths when you chose to help out Legion.
I have noticed a certain "species-ism" among characters in the shows, as well as those that react to the shows. It was interesting to watch the reaction to the interspecies love and kiss in this episode. I couldn't help but wonder how many had a similar reaction to the Kirk/Uhura kiss when it first aired. Non-humanoid creatures in the Star Wars universe are often treated as little more than "critters" regardless of their sentience.
Mando kicking the droids reminded me of Boston Dynamics testing their droid balancing systems.
Wouldn’t it be cool if it actually WAS a Boston dynamics robot under a B2 shell 😮
There were spot droids in Book of Boba Fett!
LOVED the episode and LOVED the cameos!!!!! No such thing as too many!!!!!
I agree with Greg, felt like Dinn isn't the main character anymore:( I understand that the title of the show reflects not just Dinn as the Mandalorian, but also Grogu and other Mandalorians, but as a show you still have to have a main character. I need more Dinn and Grogu!!
They were a good Team. Bo(good cop) Din (Bad Cop). It was nice to see Bo's high respect for Din Djarin and vice versa. I think they will be a good family. Queen(Mom), Worker(din), grogu(son) what are your thoughts?
So u want din to be a beta male ?

A strong woman doesn't have to mean a weak man. I wish they'd give Din more moments to shine and be seen as Bo's equal. As much as I love seeing Bo be a badass and have no issues with her story arc, I miss seeing Din be a badass, but we have yet to see that side of him as it relates to Bo and that's really frustrating. It always seems one sided with Din being way out of his depth. I hope we'll see a scene where he saves her for a change. I have spoken.
I like this episode. It's aaaaaall in the microexpressions, guys. And yes, the theme is definitely love. Mon Calamari prince and the captain? A tragedy. The duchess and ex-imperial? A happy ending. What about a princess and an ex-bounty hunter turned daddy? We shall see. Expecting Din to reciprocate Bo's signal right now, is like expecting Tech 😢 to initiate flirtatious jokes with Phee. But at least they're getting to know each other by bickering, running, and kicking droids, right? That's character development, in a way.
Possible, but keep in mind Bo katan is significantly older than din djarin
@@aspenator42 they met when Din's over 30 almost 40. That means they're fully grown adults and responsible for their own descision. That's okay for me.
This reminds me of the random bizzare episodes of The Clone Wars and I absolutely adore it!
The cameos were just so OUT THERE and I loved them for that, among many other things. Yes, this episode was strange, but it's the kind of strange Star Wars can get away with and as strange sci-fi goes, I really enjoyed just how OUT THERE the entire episode was. It was fun :)
Its repetitive.
Its almost like there is no plot.
Send Din jarin on a useless mission quest with bland dialogue and a few action scenes.
Over and over and over.
Boba fet was supposed to be the Mandalorian season 3 and the writers have clearly no clue what to do with the characters.
@@originaldelta I don't really find it repetitive. Maybe in previous seasons, but even then I don't have a problem with it. To me the Mandalorian is more like the live action version of The Clone Wars. It has a good mix of episodic and serialized over-arching stuff that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. This season especially to me has been the least repetitive of the three seasons. Hardly at all:
Episode 1: Mando's looking for Mandalore to bathe in it's Waters and be Reborn.
Episode 2: Mando finds Mandalore and with Bo-Katan and Grogu's help, finds the Waters and both Bo-Katan and Mando are reborn after they each took a plunge.
Episode 3: an entirely different story being told that still ties into the current arch involving Grogu, the Empire/First Order and cloning, where we follow a man wanting to do some good for the new republic by bringing back his cloning studies and tech to have it suit a more noble selfless purpose. Oh and Bo-Katan and Din are welcomed back into the Creed.
Episode 4: The Mandalorians have to rescue one of their foundlings while we learn the secret of how Grogue escaped Order 66 featuring Ahmed Best's spectacular vindication back into Star Wars. Episode 5: Navarro is taken over by the pirates we meet in Episode 1 and the Mandalorians dive in to liberate the city and its people, resulting in the Armorer granting Bo-Katan the freedom to be helmet less to prop her up as a symbol for unification between different Mandalorian tribes since she's of two different sides of their coin and the rightful ruler of Mandalore.
Episode 6: Din and Bo-Katan try to unify their first tribe, Bo-Katan's old Mandalorian crew who've become hired mercenaries, but must first help a couple of diplomats restore peace to their city to gain access to her old crew.
The generally story seems to be uniting the Mandalorians with Din and Bo-Katan leading this effort, while the side plot brewing in the background continues to revolve around Grogu's importance to the Empire and how that ties into the Sequel Trilogy. Literally only the most recent episode so far has felt the most side-quest-y, but the important stuff still comes together at the very end of it.
im liking this slow burn this season, it makes the world seem so much bigger. If every episode is a jammed packed adventure, eventually that will get very old and that bar will be very tough to top. new planets, new characters, new species, character development for bo katan hat weve wanted so much, and our villain is terrifying because we know hes VERY MAD and planning something insane. I LOVE THIS SEASON.
I don't know, felt like one huge side quest to me. It has the pace of Andor but lacks the dialogue and character depth that made Andor so interesting to watch. I still don't know what Din wants, what he feels, and what his goal is. It feels like Grogu has received more character development than him. We have faced a bunch of arbitrary "challenges" like the tie fighter chase, the weird creature in Mandalor, and the pirate attack, but nothing significant or long-term. This would be fine if the season wouldn't have just 8 episodes.
@@Ruzzky_Bly4tspot on. They really should have ended the show. It’s a girl boss show now
I appreciate the honesty. The whole time I was thinking that’s not really Pedro Pascal. It really did feel like a fan film.
This was a fun episode and I liked it. I’m hoping the cameos will bring more attention to the show and give our Filoni & Favreau duo a bigger platform.
You guys pretty much summed up everything I felt about this episode, this season, and my concerns for the remaining 2 episodes perfectly!
This was the most George Lucas-y episode yet, and felt a lot like a Clone Wars episode.
These RUclips comments are more happy than twitter, and I’m glad to see people enjoyed this episode as much as I did. It was so fun
Loved this episode despite how much of a trip it felt like
This will be lost here, but here's why it felt so weird.
1. They open with the mandos, not fighting, not showing off their strength but just using their big ship to intimidate a smaller ship, it's not really all that impressive. Later, they say, "That's an impressive fleet" but you get TOLD that in this episode, they should have shown an action set piece early on.
2. No consequences. Their writing diverted from "every robot is infected with the override code." and "Only a specific batch of robots who drank the poison code" are malfunctioning because of that code? There were no threats to things we liked, even having some robots spying on the leaders and them being paranoid of the robot malfunctioning and attacking them mixed with their need to be served. Imagine if Lizzo or JB were reliant on a droid to live or something.
3. DARK SABER MESSAGING. I thought this episode would show that between Bo and Din them basically exchanging the saber and saving each other. So at the end, when they go out on a technicality we can see Bo basically make the choice between honoring "The Way" or taking Din's position, murky at best, and leading her fleet, that back and forth imo would have been great.
4. Christopher Lloyd wasn't great. Love the actor, but his character didn't have an endgame or any specific goals that we were aware of outside, at some point turning the entire droid army against the people, but for who, why? Is the most compelling reasons, "they'd die, so we can't do it"? It didn't work at all for me. His ending was also lame, "Yes, I threatened the entire planet." "Well, you're exiled, byeeee" tonally it was wayy off.
5. The fight at the end, was way to short, way to "nice" and basically felt like a Mando fight checklist. "Flamethrower, check. Bomb check. Tether attack, check. Knife throwing check. Ok we're done here, Bo wins." Should have been brutal, should have had to fight between bruises, broken bones and not whatever this slap fight was.
6. Instead of returning to the Ungars? idk how to spell them, but the mechanics. Why not go back to them to help figure out the whole nano-bot issue. Them being upset their work was corrupted by the official, making them look bad, seems like a good motivation to get them involved, but no we go to CSI Plantir 15 or whatever, where Din saves Bo... with Bo's darksaber that she didn't take from Din on the first technicality, technically making it... his again...?
I think all those issue are the major reasons why this episode felt as Greg said, clunky. Thanks if you read this; I had it get it out of my brain.
I am so hyped for seeing Moff Gideon hopefully in the upcoming ep! 🔥👍🏻😀
This should've been a one-off Christmas episode. Or 'Holiday Special' or something.
I’ve noticed in shows that before they go dark, they do a light episode. I’m worried what the next two episodes bring now.
I had a blast with this episode, regardless of the weird lol. I do, however, agree about the cameos and the fan film feel.
Well, this really felt like some of the episodes from the first season or like a live action Clone Wars episode, still not sure how I feel about whatever was that I just watched but at least you can tell the actors were having fun!
tbh my thoughts on the episode were as exactly as Din said: you had me at battle droids 🤣 also absolutely loved seeing Christopher Lloyd in Star Wars, that really made this one of my favorite episodes of the season... but i can see where the disconnect in tone is throughout. it does all feel too easy, which actually gives me more of an ominous feeling?? so i can't tell if it IS all too easy or if we should be waiting for the other shoe to drop...
I really enjoyed this episode, so weird but fun. I was having a bad day and I really needed this!
This episode really was a fever dream come to life. From the weird Romeo and Juliet romance in the beginning, to the surprise cameos, then to Christopher Lloyds somewhat “sinister” plot, to Grogu being knighted which came out of absolutely no where. Honestly what drugs did Jon Favreu take when he wrote this episode??
this has been a strange season. Im glad Bo's getting the recognition and character growth, but. Din ?
Lucasfilm found a strong female character that fans like. Did you expect them NOT to push her to the front?
I mean they are both carrying their weight we literally saw this episode how din had to step in and do things for her
The funny thing is that the way this show is shot allows the entire plot to be cut out. The scenes where they’re on the monorail can be seamlessly be cut together to make it where they land then go to Axe Woves
This episode almost feels like a love letter to the sci Fi genre as a whole.
It was complete crap
@Mr Picklesworth come on man you must not like star wars cause this was super clone wars feeling
@@GirthCheck the clone wars feeling doesn't work in live action. I love that show. But this episode was some of the cringiest stuff i have seen in a while. Absolutely no depth or intrigue in the story.
@Pran Joshi well we disagree. I think it was great watching the Star Wars buddy cop on this new planet. To each his own though, I like Star Wars, and this felt very Star Wars.
more like a love letter to "days of our lives" or "young and the restless" god that was some bad soapy stuff
I totally loved this episode! Was shocked to see the cameos. I think this season so far is as good as the first 2.
This was a very important episode. This quickly sets up the finale where Bo Katan will be able to lead both the Night Owls, and the Children of the Watch, against possibly Moff Gideon and, in the Asoka series, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The filler portion, of this episode, raises Grogu’s status. He may be able to, one day, call in a favor since he is now, Sir Grogu.
The Mandalorian may be able to find that one missing droid part. Who knows?
This episode is part of a build up of allies. It was silly, but a blast to watch Detective Din Jarin and Constable Bo Katan , figure out why the droids were malfunctioning.
The only thing that didn’t make any sense to me is why, oh Lord why, would you put your name on the nanodroids that is causing the droids to go haywire?
Not a good way to do things.
But dont you have a problem with this ,i hate the idea of bo katan doing that coz that means just like with the rest of the season they forgot about the main character and decided to focus on a side character ,I hate that
@@jonnyhill1155 Please keep in mind that Jon Favreau is turning lemons into lemonade with this whole season because of Kathleen Kennedy’s interference. When she interfered with his original season three storyline, she forced him to lose a lot of time to properly develop other storylines that would not have been present in this season.
To get back on track, Jon Favreau is using this season to make up for lost time. With that being said, Jon is making a very strategic effort to set up the Asoka series properly. It’s going to be a Herculean task, but if he can do this, then the first season of Ashoka will take over all the baggage that season three, of the Mandalorian, had to create, and this will allow the Mandalorian to get back on his original path ( well, sort of): being a bounty hunter.
@@jonnyhill1155 It was never said Din is the main character. "The Mandalorian" is a fitting description for half of the characters the show has focused on since the first episode.

Haha! It was a lil of both for me!
Same lol I literally shouted "that's adorable!" at the screen
My jaw totally dropped when JB and Lloyd entered the scenes! :D JB needs to get the producer and director's to get him in again with Septiceye that would be an AWESOME episode/cameo. :)
I really loved the unexpected people that showed up on this episode. Other than the 3rd episode, which featured very little in the way of action, this season has been really fun!
I watched this episode and loved it. Thought it was so different and unique. Which made it feel much more Clone Wars. Was surprised but how extreme and confused their reaction was. 😂 everyone is allowed their own option on it but I absolutely loved this episode.
It did feel like a fewer dream though. Fun as an experiment, but clearly designed to be silly.
This was what I got, nod to clone wars
it was wonderful till din gave bo the dark saber that killed the whole show
@@bryceandriano4032 how ? The dark Saber was hers and belongs to her ..it’s her destiny to retake mandelore … haven’t you seen clone wars … it’s would fit perfectly
@@sese8976 I have seen the clone wars and if you want to be technical about the saber is ashokas or mauls not bo katona. Mual beat visla and ashoka beat him. The clone wars is the reason bo should not have the saber she is a bad person who was fine killing her sister and who has lead the mandalorians to there doom twice. So no bo should not have the saber in any way shape or form, also we have already got plenty of screen time with bo in the clone wars she does not need to steal this show from din.
CALLED IT! I thought that as mando had the dark sabre taken from him then Bo-katan took it and destroyed the droid, it was now hers
“the sudden urge to just leave here and go to florida” 🤣
This episode had the same vibe as Leia running away from kidnappers in a forest
You had me at battle droids........................... The writing for this show is so WIZARD!!!! Imagine if Feloni was given creative control of episodes 7-9
It's a Saturday cartoon vibe and I'm here for it! 😄
It is nice to hear critique and that you aren't just agreeing with everything and cheering it on. The show feels like the anticipation each week is to see who guest stars and who directs.
Enjoyed the droids and mandos. Christopher Lloyd was good to see
I loved this...fast paced, got the gist, weird, characters...fun.
Lloyd gave off so much Judge Doom vibes!!!
