- This was a gift for the soul.
I'll post the write up starting from the big scene
spoilers
Well, it’s not jus an x-wing. It’s Luke skywalker. This meant the world to me. Over 35 thousand of you attended the watch party last night and we all shared a moment together as Star Wars fans that I’ll never forget. Luke Skywalker arrives and makes the dark troopers look like absolutely nothing. He wasn’t even moving fast, it was easy work for a jedi knight like him. Or at this point, a Jedi Master ready to build his roster of students.
We see a cloaked figure walk through the halls, his movements and lightsaber form very much like Luke Skywalker. Luke used a variation of different lightsaber forms. Mainly form iv Ataru which he learned from master Yoda. However when he used his emotions to fight his father on the second Death Star in return of the jedi, he was using more form v, which was Anakin’s lightsaber form. He also learned a bit of form 3, soresu from obi-wan in episode 4. This helps with blocking blaster bolts. There’s a scene here where Luke uses the same move as Anakin against the b-1 battle droid on Mustafar, with the blaster bolt behind the back. Luke comes to the hallway which was a lot like his father against the rebels in rogue one. Grogu just watches the screen amused. Luke dances with his blade, blocking bolts and slicing through the troopers. He uses force pull, force push, and force freeze topped off with force crush. Now this is huge, because force crush was a force power that was a big no no for jedi, however, there was a grey area when using it on droids, or any non living being. Windu and Anakin both used this in the original 2D clone wars back in 2003. Mace uses it on Grievous, which is why he always coughs. And Anakin uses it on Nelvaan against the scientist techno union guy.
The droids and danger has been eliminated by Luke Skywalker. I can’t believe I’m saying that. I won’t get tired of it. Din opens the door and Luke Skywalker steps through the green lit fog by his lightsaber.
Are you a Jedi.
Yes, he says.
As a de aged mark Hamill, just like I wished would happen, stands there, removing his hood.
He reaches out to grogu, and summons the child. Grogu asks permission from Din, and we get a beautiful poetic scene of Din holding the kid and removing his helmet. This echoes Vader removing his helmet to see his son, Luke. As Din stares at the closest thing to a son he has, and tells Grogu to go, and not be afraid.
Grogu is placed on the floor as he finally waddles over to R2-D2, who shakes with excitement, recognizing Grogu from Yoda’s species, but also, a theory that he knows Grogu from the Jedi Temple during the prequels, as we know Grogu was trained as a Jedi at the temple for many years by many masters. He must have known Anakin, or of him at least, as they are the same age.
Luke Grabs Grogu, takes a good look at him, and bids his farewell to everyone. May the force be with you, as Din cries watching them leave. The doors close from afar as R2 stands next to Luke Skywalker holding Grogu. End of season
Until, the end credits scene!
Tatooine. Jabba’s palace. Fennec shand kills gammorean guards as she comes down the steps with Boba to follow a few steps behind. Bib Fortuna sits atop Jabba’s throne. Telling Boba how he had heard rumours of his return. Boba kills him. Big Fortuna was Jabba’s top secretary and right hand man. We see him in return of the Jedi, and I thought he died, but I guess Boba isn’t the only one to return from the dead.
He’s played here by Matthew Wood, who voices General Grievous in the clone wars. Boba walks up, throws his dead corpse off, and takes his rightful place on the throne of the underworld king. Jabba was the law of the underworld. If scum and villainy. Boba now takes that mantle. He and Fennec will now control the galaxy’s underworld at their fingertips. The Book of boba, coming December 2021. This is the big question. Will this be a new show all on it’s own. Having chapters for episodes like the mandalorian. Or will this be what the new mandalorian will be about. Now it’s about the book of Boba. The first two seasons were about Din and the child, and now it’s about Boba for a season or two. I’m inclined to believe it’s two separate shows that we’ll get at the same time. As the mandalorian season 3 comes end of December 2021 as well.
Well, and with that. Star Wars has never been more alive. This episode meant so much to me, seeing Luke return the way he did. I can only imagine where it’ll lead us. I think we’ll see Grogu train with Luke, and become a powerful Jedi, and he’ll eventually reunite Grogu with his species, well before Kylo destroys Luke’s temple. I know a lot of people were asking if Kylo kills Grogu, and I Just can’t see that happening.

Couldn't be happier.
Honoured, to share this moment with you all, I am.
Sleep, I need.
Yoda, I have become.
...
So happy luke showed up
ALL HAIL BABY YODA
Your reaction was so heartwarming and wholesome. Love ya my man.
💜
Sleep you must
“I didn’t know sidekicks were allowed to talk.”
- A Sidekick
Lol exactly
That was so ironic. I had a good chuckle.
I hate her character. She shouldn’t even stand a chance against boba tbh. And why the hell is she stronger, like I am not hating on mandalorian but like... Boba was the most notorious bounty hunter, looks stronger and is a dude. Guck. They just have to.
I didn't realize it at the time but this made me laugh
It's like in Attack of the Clones.
"Hey you, no droids"
- Droid
"I do hallway slaughter, like my father before me."
- Luke Skywalker
Ghost Ben: Use the Force, Luke
Ghost Yoda: Fear not, Luke
Ghost Anakin: Just pretend they're sand... or younglings.
Luke: *What*
Ghost Anakin: ʷʰᵃᵗ
There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes that light is emanating from a red lightsaber

Like father like son!!

Vaders hallway scene: instills fear
Luke's hallway scene: inspires hope
Stolen
Only if you're on Mando's side. Gideon looked fricken terrified.
@@roguechlnchllla6564 Gideon looked like he realized he was the next chicken to be cooked at KFC.
That was the title of a side by side video of those two scenes I just watched!
A new hope.
I wonder what Luke thaught when he saw Grogu. "Ha! Baby Yoda!"
I know 🤣🤣
"Baby Yoda, you are."
That lingering 2-3 second look at Grogu, I think the director wanted that subtle hint that Luke looked at Grogu and immediately was thinking of Yoda in those seconds.
"No, its The Child"
Luke: "Thats...not as cool"
"Actually, its Grogu"
Luke: "Thats...I'm calling him Baby Yoda"
"Hide the lamps"
“I’m saving a youngling, unlike my father before me.”
Ha ha!! As dark a comment as the dark sabre! X-D
YES
Dew it!!!!
Lol
Great line hahahaha
I can't imagine how Mark Hamill felt to finally get the big entrance he's been asking for.
One report is saying that they actually used Mark.
@@blairthandi7058 yeah he’s in the credits
This the entrance I should have had in Force Awakens and then again in Last Jedi.
"I will give my life to protect the child."
This. This is the Luke I know from the movies and books I read as a teenager. Not Jake. THIS is Luke.
If Grogu was killed by Kylo, that was clearly a lie. Damn the sequels sucked.
@@jacksonw6742 Filoni and Favreau have already stated that Grogu is essential to the future of star wars. Never going to happen which is good.
@@janmillsgibson3225 the genius of Favreau and Filoni. They are holding a literal gun to Grogu's head.
If Kennedy doesn't retcon the sequels, Grogu dies
@@tanmaydeshpande They aren't holding a gun to his head. Filoni has strongly suggested that Grogu is the future of Star Wars. Even with the ST staying in place he has a plan.
Also Disney like money that much that they wouldn't kill off something that garnered 1.34 billion minutes on their streaming service.
@@janmillsgibson3225 Darth Kennedy didn't seem to give a rip about the potential billions (and goodwill) that she and Ruin Johnson uncaringly tossed aside for their vanity!
It was titled the Rescue for rescuing the franchise.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
so fucking true
I mean it did 🤷♂️ 😂
And then they fired Gina.
@@michaelgillespie9112 This is what happens when good things happen. Thanks Disney. Smh
The Luke scene was literally BETTER than the entire Sequel Trilogy. Facts.
Fax but Darth Vader scene at the end of Rouge one is much better
No.
@@SanAntonioNewHomesForSale 2 very different feelings both gave.
Agreed.
Eh. Two very different things. This is Luke as a beast in his prime TLJ is more focusing on his character in his older age.
"The Rescue" just rescued a whole franchise.
it really did, IT REALLY FUCKING DID😭
totally, faith restored, hope they retcon the last six skywalker movies!
How does this save the franchise? Shoulda just expanded on some other Jedi’s lore. We know the future of Luke
Absolutely!
@@llanowarshelves2105 *3, the prequels might be odd but they are gold, so many memes came from the prequels. The disney trilogy is shit
Episodes 7 - 9 aren’t the sequel trilogy.
The Mandalorian marks the start of the REAL sequels.
Yup. Retcon the disaster that is the sequel trilogy.
Thank you !
Was thinking the same thing. I do not think Filoni and Favreau will connect these with the Disney Trilogy.
It's just too good, too well written.
I think both of them have retconned it themselves.
Facts
well no but if there was a way to make the ep 7 - 9 not canon
it will happen
I believe Moff Gideon chose Grogu's Holding Cell instead of the bridge and chose to fight Din Djarin ON PURPOSE. HE DID IT JUST TO SPITE BO KATAN and keep The Darksaber out of her hands.
#FACTS I totally AGREE. I think Moff Gideon is playing The Long Game! #greatVillain
haha, thats what a villian do , epic ,haha
He planned to fight Djin 1v1, kill him, and then take Grogu on an escape shuttle. This was the smart move. If he waited on the bridge, he would have to face Bo-Katan, Fennec, etc. He wouldn’t stand a chance against being outnumbered
Karan
@@jack-wo5bt shit. Autocorrect. Lol
When the force theme started playing, I completely lost it...
When Grogu left, I cried
So did Disney because they won’t make any more money from grogu
But I cried the whole 2nd half of the episode
Same that’s when I cried
I stood up outta my chair and started screaming & crying LUKE LUKE LMAO
You weren’t the only one.
Same dude
J.J. Abrams “We can’t satisfy the original trilogy fans while also appealing to to a new, younger audience”
Jon Favreau “ Hold my beer”
You deserve many likes
I blame Rian Johnson more than anyone. I have no idea how they managed to reverse this but I am so happy
@@spirit469 they didn’t reverse shit, the ST, Rey and the retards that created it all are still in charge.
I gonna tatoo that man on my back
hold my baby yoda
All I could think of when Luke was tearing through droids:
“Huh. Like father like son.”
Those droids may have been tall but they sure weren't old
*youngling flashbacks*
Same fighting style. Absolutely brutal
That scene reminded me of anakin killing everyone in sight at the Jedi temple when he turned to the dark side
It's the utterly _dismissive_ way he fights them. There's a moment early in the fight where he's crossing a bridge guarded by three DTs. First one is cut in half, second is disarmed, third is Force pushed off the side. Luke is about to keep on going when the second tries to grab his shoulder, and gets trisected. It's like "Oh, yeah...sorry, forgot you were there". It's brutal. It's beautiful.
I love how they orchestrated Luke's arrival.
1. An X-Wing - Red 5? - No, maybe Wedge and his squadron
2. Just one X-Wing - Luke??? - Nah, X-Wings are not that rare.
3. A Jedi - Luke?? - Maybe Ahsoka. After all, we saw her in the recap.
4. One lightsaber - Luke? - Ok, not Ahsoka but still could be any other Jedi.
5. A green lightsaber - Luke!? - This is teasing but still, could be any other Jedi. (I guess at this point everybody knew who it was but was not able to believe it.)
6. Right hand in a black glove, left hand uncovered. - Luke!?! - Well... anybody can wear a black glove (bullshit, who else would it be)
7. Hallway scene - ... - No time to think here
8. Putting away his lightsaber - Luke! - This is Luke's lightsaber but maybe someone stole or found it (stupid excuse of an argument)
9. Face reveal - LUKE!!!
When I saw the lone X-wing I thought...nah, DID they!? Then the green saber and I thought, oh shit! Probably...and then the gloved hand and I knew. I was looking for that gloved hand. The moment I saw it I knew, and I cried like a little girl.
when i saw the lightsaber hilt I knew
@@zyshock I still didn't wanna assume and be disappointed if it turned out to be like someone else
Yo this was meeee. So much unbelief because I could stand to be let down but I was wholeheartedly satisfied at the reveal 😭😭😭 I think I sobbed harder at that reveal than anytime of my life.
@@rowni SOBBED! Like same reaction as if someone bit the head off of Grogu, like I cannot believe how hard I cried just seeing the Luke of legends on my TV
Let's take a moment to offer condolences to Jeremy Bulloch, the original Boba Fett, who passed away yesterday.
R I P
Yes, very sad. All the OG actors are passing away.
May his soul find rest knowing that his legacy has bring forth our beloved Mandalorians, and that Boba Fett is alive a and well, and will have more adventures for us to enjoy.
A legend never forgotten
We’ll remember him forever
I hate to say this but I enjoyed these 5 minutes of Luke more than Luke in the entire sequel trilogy.
Mark hamill would agree with you.
That whole social justice trilogy doesnt feel like star wars and its completely forced
@@ArthuriusG99 Finn was the only good part and they wrote his character into a fucking ditch.
@@zaab-yaoh9302 John Boyega also said that disney didn't know what to do with him.
@@zaab-yaoh9302 exactly The Last Jedi ruined his arc and gave him no room to become something great. They would have had to write his entire arc in the last movie but they already had to cram so much shit into that movie it was too late and they just gave up on him. He could have been one of the coolest characters in the movies
"Talent without training is nothing"
*cough cough "Rey" *cough cough
@@ninaa4192 lmao
My little brother: This is Star Wars?
Me: No, this is what Star Wars is supposed to be.
"This is not so bad."
Not the star wars we need, but tue star wars we desrve.
A surprise avengers meme to be sure, but a welcome one
@@andreassourbatis1177 I appreciate the dark knight reference
You can smell the stench on this episode they introduced the dark saber and in the same 10 minutes threw it into the wind because who cares when the plot convince walks in and kills the entire problem. Then mando just hands him the child? Seems more like they just wanted to create some fan service. Mando takes his helmet off for others instead of himself for the first time therefore abandoning a part of himself. This whole show was about the kid and mando now the story is done so is the show…
Favreau and Filoni: “We have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to our new franchise”
Disney Execs who want to milk everything: "YOUR new franchise?"
Your new empire??? oh sorry
Bro I died reading that 🤣🤣🤣
The Rescue has quite a few, seemingly purposeful meanings. Brilliant. They rescued the sinking Star Wars ship! This is the Luke we've been waiting 30 years for!
Your new franchise ?!?
„Talent without training is nothing“. Shots fired at Rey.
Moreso shots fired at Rian Johnson
The Ahsoka episode tossed the ball, Luke just drove it home.
I'm nervous about Grogu going with him because this means he will inevitably be murdered by Kylo at his SECOND mass murder at school. I hope these jabs are showing they are going to take the sequels out of cannon because they just aren't star wars continuity.
@@earthstar7534 Yes, in OUR opinion the sequels aren’t canon.
Edit : OUR
I loved that. It just told everyone that the sequels don’t exactly fit
@@Njord16 in OUR opinion
This.... this is where all grown adults cried.
Yep. I remember when I saw the young Leia in Rogue One. Seeing Luke in his prime took me back forty years.
This episode relit my passion for Star Wars. Not going to lie, the sequel trilogy killed it and I'm not trying to comment on that (your fun isn't wrong, if you liked them its cool with me) but this was the Luke I waited my life to see. This was the Luke that tossed down his lightsaber, believed in his father when all others had forsaken him and said in the face of death, "No, I am a Jedi like my father before me." I only wish Luke was given this kind of respect before so I could go on and see him being bad ass in live action for another couple hours.
Seeing Mark Hamil’s tweet and knowing he’s happy with how this version of Luke was shown fills me with so much joy
What was his tweet?
@@Goosetavula “Seen anything good on TV lately?” And more recently “The fact that we were able to keep my involvement a secret for over a year with no leaks is nothing less than a miracle. A real triumph for spoiler-haters everywhere!”
He looks so good, I was surprised
Talent without training is nothing......REY that is you... talent and no training = NOTHING. Jon and Dave had double meaning im guessing when luke gave that line. it references Grogu. Then secrectly its about Rey as well. Talen w/ no TRAINING = REY is NOTHING.....What do you think about what came to me, could this be true??
Thank God They saved Lukes character. Please give your thoughts on my thought...thank u.
I literally cried my eyes out like a lame. I grew up on Star Wars in the 80s. Watching Luke over and over become the hero he was meant to be. This is the real timeline.
Luke: fights in the hallway
Vader: “that’s my boy!”
Like father like son
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
Vader force ghost: sheds a tear knowing he raised Luke right.
Vader never raised Luke
I am assuming this is a joke
LMAOOO
I love that the title "The Rescue" made everyone think it was Mando rescuing Grogu, but it was really Luke rescuing all of them and the entire fucking franchise.
I cried, cheered and clapped when the green Sabre appeared... my children looked at me with wonder and a little laugh until they understood the emotions flooding from me. This is STARWARS!
I was never a fan of Star Wars but I loved the Mandalorian
Luke: **Gets a hallway moment**
Anakin: *"THAT'S MY BOY!"*
LOLLL!!!!
Haha haha
Was it just me, or was Luke’s saber style VERY similar to Anakin’s? It was almost like watching Revenge of the Sith all over again!
@@tangofett4065 its Obiwans style with a little bit of Luke's own
@@tangofett4065 its form 5 variant and Vader uses form 5
Mark Hammil can finally live in peace knowing John Favreau saved the reputation of the character Luke Skywalker.
Mark Hamill and Jon Favreau
he still ends up as a hermit on an island
@@thethumbinator6551 can we just ignore that lol
Well, I mean Disney owns the Material and they are more than within their rights to hand wave the original 7,8 and 9 away and remake them if they like...not sure they will hear many complaints about doing that, at least not form anyone that actually matters.
Weeeeeeeeeerd
Imagine if in the Mandalorian - where Grogu was rescued from the Imperial remnants - is where the timeline diverts from the sequel trilogy. Maybe a living little Grogu would have an impact on the new Jedi Order, the New Republic and the universe, just nudging it in a slightly different direction.
Imagine Favreau and Filoni being given creative freedom to shape this post-OT timeline and a new sequel trilogy without the story restrictions that the current sequel trilogy has set.
Even if you like the Sequels, they were objectively not well planned with big decisions being made lkast minute etc, and this Favreau/Filoni universe deserves the freedom to grow beyond them.
It didn't help that they randomly changed directors for The Last Jedi, which was soooo not just Out of Character but Out of Universe, it left Rise of Skywalker scrambling to try to fix all the holes AND wrap up the story.
They lost me with "The Rise of Skywalker". Last year i told my wife: "I think it is time to grow up, leave Star Wars behind and move on with my life." The last episode of the second season of The Mandalorian won me back.
What about clone wars season 7’s final arc?
It’s going to look funny when we see Grogu carrying Luke on his back during Jedi training.
Lol😂
Oh geez! Nearly had me in tears of laughter with that thought haha, great comment =}
Wait Grogu carrying Luke? I’m confused
@@saltycelery2045 empire strikes back, Yoda was on the back of Luke while he was training him. So if Luke is to train Grogu haha and thus why this thought is so hilarious.
@@Pickendi oh lol! I was just thinking abt yoda
Holy fuck, the sequels don't exist anymore. THIS is the true sequel.
The fans have finally reclaimed Star Wars
The fans have spoken
They're still canon bruh
@@techno639 They are not canon. Disney confirmed it.
@@TheLegendOfNiko Sure pal, whatever ya say 😂
This single episode did more for us fans than the entire new trilogy and stand alone films put together.
Rogue One and Solo were cool. The trilogy is what truly sucked in my opinion
That ending sequence was the purest Star Wars we’ve seen since ROTS. Part of me wanted it to end with the classic closing iris. It gets me hearing all the commentary here and realizing I made similar comments throughout the episode making us all united by the franchise we love. If Disney is smart, they’d give the reins to Favreau, Filoni and all the directors, writers, and producers that brought heart back to Star Wars that the Sequel Trilogy couldn’t get right
When the elevator door closed on Luke and R2 I anticipated hearing the classic ending theme. Kinda wish it would have happened or someone makes and edit.
I'm pretty sure they've all but confirmed that will be the case after a brief interim period of George Lucas running the show. A channel called Mike Zeroh covers a lot of that stuff, though unfortunately a lot of his stuff is either clickbait or repetitive
YES
This and the siege of mandalore arc from the clone wars are definitively the best Star Wars to come out since revenge of the sith. Personally I think clone wars is better but both are amazing nonetheless.
This was the Luke everyone wanted in the sequel trilogy!
Why doesn't this have a bazillion likes?
FACTS
Another aspect that Favreau and Filoni fixed!
@@AlternicityBlogspot We're working up to it lol
Exactly. Which is why I try to pretend like the sequel trilogy doesn't exist. Or at least just pretend like it's it's own alternative Star Wars universe. Kind of like how Disney suddenly decided that the expanded universe wasn't "canon".
Rogue One ending flashbacks
CGI of an OT character: check
Unexpected lightsaber massacre: check

The CGI looked awful imo, like a bad deepfake. But it doesn’t matter, the real Luke is back !

@@bretonfou7046 it looked straight out of a video game but I still loved it
The ease and grace with how Luke moved was so beautiful to witness. It did appear that it was ZERO effort for him to slice them all apart. Made this 39 year old man cry like a little girl to see Luke friggen Skywalker as the hero we all know him to be.
Jaba's palace is built really really bad. They're all like, "why do we never know that we're being attacked until they walk down this long ass spiral stairs?"
Pretty sure they has guards outside too, they were just dispatched quickly and quietly. Fennec, the assassin, and Boba, the legendary bounty hunter? They stood no chance
Meh. Could've happened anywhere...
@@sethdusith6093 Geez. Even we have motion activated systems and remote cameras. How about a control room with a security specialists who controls doors and has cameras of the entire place? I mean, this is supposed to be some type of criminal fortress.
disney, this is how you make women badass in Star Wars. Not just create an overpowered female character
Exactly. Make characters that we actually care about. Not action figures.
that’s what Marvel got wrong
Ikr it didn’t feel forced at well it worked so well and they were bad ass
Exactly. This felt genuine and not thrown in our faces like a lot of SJW scenes. The girls get it done part was badass and made sense.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 You're talking about The Boys right?

@@blackcaesar8387 my thoughts exactly!!!!!
When will they learn
You should check out my mandalorian season 2 review brah
Even I teared up when Luke entered. I am not even close to being called a fan either , this is how fantastic that scene was.
Same😅
Imma be honest, for Star Wars fans, this episode could've gotten an alternative title: A New Hope.
R2 be like: “Don’t even dare think about hitting me with a stick”
Nice one :D
This is underrated 😂
MY STICK IS BETTER THAN BACONNNN

@@trevjenn omg yeees
Legitimately didn’t notice the ladies wrecking the empire. That’s how you do female empowerment scenes. Build good characters and don’t force it.
I completely agree. Like it wasn’t a bad Mary Sue or cringey. They were all girls that had the skills. Well done
Character development and outstanding writing and directing. I can watch an all girls movie, if it contains these elements.
@@kevinmcdonald6979 yes indeed. Star Wars has always excelled at writing female characters (Sequel trilogy not included).
yes exactly this. It wasn't making it too much of a point that they were women, I was just thinking, wow Cara can handle that gun, or damn nice shot Bo. It wasn't till the end i realized it was a squad of the coolest non-force women in star wars
@@clifflodriguss122 I was about to say, “hold up” but then you excluded the sequels 😂... they did terrible with empowering woman even though that was the only thing they tried to do😂😂😂
my girlfriend commented "girls getting it done" while we were watching and I didn't even notice that it was an all woman squad, because why should I? it was just a badass squad of well developed characters.
She said that out of relief from the frustration constantly seeing your gender portrayed constantly as damsels in distress. It's just something that women notice because it's still not terribly common to see actual badass female characters kicking ass, especially as well-done and dignified as this. Compared to the Charlie's Angels reboot where every male character they fight had to be some cartoonish misogynist who says some cringe line before the girl punches him in some annoying clunky "yeah badass GURLS kicking BOY butt" way. She noticed it's girls getting it done, you noticed it was a badass squad of well-developed characters -- you were both right. They're badass characters who just happen to be female. That's why it was notable for her.
@@nedratheprincess Well said. Well said indeed
It was a great scene. But I wouldn't call any of them "well developed" characters. Bo Katan was the only one who had some development because The Clone Wars and Rebels
Same! I was so invested in the action that I didn't even notice it was the ladies getting the job, and I think it's because there was no cringey "girls gather we kick butt we not inferior" moment to speak (cough END GAME) and the dynamic actually lasted pretty long.
I love the similarities of Vader's walk through the corridor in Rogue One and Luke's walk through the corridor. It was so powerful.
“Are you a Jedi?”
“No, I’m just a janitor with a green flashlight and a lot of luck.”

LMAO!
This episode is better than whole sequel trilogy.
I could video myself pissing outside and would still be better than the whole sequel trilogy
Yes
It’s better than the last 6 movies
@3 they won't get deleted
This f*cking Comment is so old, that it has it's own Grandcomment's!
Imagine if Favreau did the last theee movies? What a missed opportunity.
There's been a lot of leaks that they're not only basically retconning them into the ground with Lucas' guidance, but that with Favreau as the new President they'll be basically redoing them. I think Episode 9 is supposed to get a 4 hour recut that will include a lot of the stuff that KK removed (since the original version of the movie was actually going to be pretty good apparently), so technically speaking, we may get our wish. I'm not sure that any of that makes the sequel trilogy more desirable or anything, but at least it'll enable people like Favreau and Filoni to work around them more effectively
@@jeffreypeters2803 I hope this comes to pass. :-)
@@sidiwvwhi so I keep hearing. I don't remember what they're doing first, but episode 8 or 9 is supposed to have a recut version by 2023. I don't know how much that means they're changing, but it sounds like there will be pretty big retcons included. Episode 9 will get a bunch of the stuff that was cut too apparently. The channel called Mike Zeroh covered it a while back, though I'll warn you a lot of his stuff is click bait and repetitive, but usually very accurate
@@jeffreypeters2803 sounds like clickbait but hey, I never thought something like Endgame would ever happen so who knows?
Would b nice doe...
@@NPClownumber81googolplex when I say clickbait I mostly mean his titles can be somewhat misleading or repetitive. His information has almost always been solid though, so I think there's a great deal of hope to be had
I was sobbing and crying like a bitch even before Luke took the hood off, and then they hit me with Din taking off his helmet and THEN they throw R2 in there.
Well fucking played.
When Luke said “talent is nothing without training” I was so happy
Shots fired at Rian Johnson
Shots at Disney Star Wars ❤️
Rey: hold my sequel script
(I copied this from another comment btw)
@@NostalgiaNetwork i mean this is also part of disney star wars, so does that mean disney took a shot at itself?
@Tucker Ealy Because it shows how bad Rey was as a character because she was perfect without training, while also showing Luke's wisdom that he didn't show in the sequels.
Vader Hallway scene: "Oh Shit Oh NO!"
Luke's hallway scene: "OH SHIT OH YEAAAHAHDUGYAGYFD!!!!111!!11!1"
I was screaming oh yeah to both scenes
Rian Johnson needs to be sat in a chair and have his eyelids fish-hooked open Clockwork Orange style and watch this episode 1000 times.
please someone, deepfake this and I will watch that a 1000times
And then just leave him there.
Or just stay tf away from Star Wars (or anything that my life will involve while we're at it) forever and never even go near it again.
Just from the way that he treats fans, he doesn’t deserve to watch something like this. It’s obvious that some people don’t understand emotions or emotional attachment to characters. Which means, those particular people should find new jobs.
And then gutted like a fish!
i was yelling the entire time watching this, made me feel like a kid watching star wars for the first time with my dad
"He is strong with the force, but talent without training is nothing." - Luke Skywalker.
911 I'd like to confirm a murder on everyone who worked on the Sequels.
Oof Rey be crying somewhere in Jakku🤣
Lowkey petty for that line lmao
@Private Account no but yes
Yeah, but they made their money. Funny how a crappy CGI Luke will pacify most fans, meanwhile Kathleen Kennedy is still producer...
@@PeterSTIHL are you telling me you didn't like the episode?!?!?
Moff Gideon when Luke shows up:
This is nothing like the simulations
He’s probably one of the most wanted Imperial war criminals being hunted by the New Republic. The second he saw Luke he knew he was fucked with a capital F.
@@codyerickson3550 He also knew that Luke can make him talk very easily with The Force thats why he look so terrified
@@codyerickson3550 Yeah, but actually he doesn't give a shit about Moff, that makes much sense. I would like to see Luke as someone away from Politics.
@@rjofusetsudzin8011 Not really, Moff doesn't look like a weak minded goon like any Stormtrooper. That would make it harder to get information from him, just using the force
He wasn't happy.
This Luke is both the hero we deserve, and the one we need right now.
Honestly it was crucial that it was Mark Hamill the one who played Luke in here. If this is Marks last time playing him I must say he deserved the most epic goodbye to the character that he could possibly get. There were a few movies recently that pretended to try to give that kind of stuff to his character but those are honestly so forgettable... they just didn’t really do a great job at it (unlike Mandalorian, seriously the people who worked at this show are such freaking champions).
When real men cried.... Luke Skywalker's return!
Well, maybe at mando's goodbye too.
Yeah and it’s the real Luke not the luke that calls a lightsaber a lazar sword and throws it
Din and grogu splitting was the most emotional ngl
How many times he will have to return ?
@@Jedimaster-Macewindu This was emotionally devastating, so powerful that i forgot luke for a bit.
“Great, one x wing, we’re saved” man cara had no idea 😂😂😂😂
Worse scouting report turned greatest ever!!!
That one X wing started it all!!! The only X Wing everyone wanted to see!!!!
When he didn't answer i knew
When Cara said that, I channeled my inner Bert Kreischer and said...Okay, okay, I yelled at the TV; "AWWWW SHIT SON! THAT'S LUKE MOTHERFUCKIN' SKYWALKER."
What struck me is that she never heard of the legendary luke considering moth gidion did.
They need to write off the sequels as a mixed up vision of the future. They have done Luke justice now. For him to become what he was in TLJ now would be sinful. I applaud this episode. Don't be foolish and try and link them together. You're on the write track now Jon. I'll support whatever destruction of the sequels needs to happen now. We're back on board. Thank you!
Yeah, just have old Luke having a force vision about the whole thing and he snaps out of it and actually exclaims, "oh what could have been, good thing that's not how it IS." If there's justice in the universe, Mark Hamill will get the send off he so richly deserves with his character, the hero of heroes.
Luke wasn't in those movies that was Jake Skywalker
Disney has a trashcan they call "Legends". A lot of good material was dumped into it. Time to put the real trash there, and start afresh. We may never be able to get the original actors back, but I'll settle for strong writing. I'll even accept a replacement trilogy via quality animation at this point.
bruh theyre not gonna waste billions of dollars.
also, THE MANDALORIAN LITERALLY PLAYS INTO THE SEQUELS
Did you not see the clear origins of the first order, with the remnants of the empire using grogu for experiments
AND A SNOKE CLONE?
the sequels arent getting retconned, and im glad. rather, they'll have extra material to make it better just like the prequels had clone wars
my dad and I cried watching the season finale. he was the one who introduced me to star wars
Imagine how awkward it would be if boba was there when Luke showed up
Luke: Boba.
Boba: Skywalker.
I think thats why they made him dip
They’d probably just barely acknowledge each other tbh
@@geraldodelrivero8982 wait I forgot was Boba hired to kill Luke?
@@Coolgamer54321 boba killed his uncle on tatooine
Luke's whole scene was like one of the best Star Wars moments ever, period.
Yes
It was like Vader in rogue one
@@CaliBoyz94 *Rogue One
Why? I’m not hating I just don’t get why everyone is so hyped about Luke
@@CaliBoyz94 it was way better than that.
Luke has his own hallway scene
Anakin: Son, I am proud
When Luke picked up the one trooper and crushes it, it reminded me of the scene with Vader trying to get the Death Star plans.
Whem Mando asked Luke if he is Jedi, when he said “i am” i thought he was gon say “i am, like my father before me😭😭”
same here
OMG me too!! I was just waiting for that to come out but it didnt
Nice lmao
My dad straight up said, and I quote, “I am THE muthafuckin Jedi”
Me too. I said it for him
It’s as if a million voices all cried out in happiness
Have you felt it? There's been an awakening...
This episode, for me, was absolutely breathtaking and left me bawling my eyes out. Thank you to everyone who worked on the Mandalorian, it is a piece of art and shall be remembered by me for the rest of my life. May the force be with you.
I need more Groku I need to watch his whole life story I love that little fella
I loved how the “girls get it done” scene didn’t feel forced like marvel has done. I didn’t even notice until most of the way through! It was an epic scene!
It didn’t feel forced other than the mando guy from earlier in the season is just nowhere to be found
Yep, diversity is great in movies/TV but doesn't have to be forced down our throats in a way that feels self-congratulating and if anything patronising. The Mando did this perfectly!!
That was my exact thoughts. I thought that it was a great scene and didn’t feel forced like endgame did.
Thought the exact same thing
I'm a guy and I loved that scene
This episode has done better about "Girl power" than the whole sequel trilogy with Rey
Because it wasn't forced and the characters are all well written.
The sequel trilogy didn't actually do any of that.
@@Dimetropteryx it didn’t do anything... appart from tearing the Star Wars community... until The Mandalorian came to unite it back
@@Dimetropteryx it did, rey was a mary sue for kathleen kennedys leftist agenda
Tbh I didn’t even realize the strike party consisted of all women until Luke came in and the camera panned to everyone on the bridge and I was like “holy fuck they’re all girls” having it crammed down ur throat is virtue signaling, what they did here is representation
I went through every emotion imaginable watching this and hearing your recap makes me tear up all over again. This was just a perfect culmination of a lore I've come to love, and EVERYTHING i wanted from the new films. Truly beautiful and sharing it with others who love it makes it so much more special.
I'm very glad they made the "girls get it done" scene in this episode not obvious. I didn't realize it was happening until halfway in. It was leagues better than the stupid pandering scene in endgame where they all line up.
When Mando took off his helmet for Grogu without hesitation so he could touch his face, I lost it
One of the best moments of the show
I didn’t cry... dumb allergies
I don't understand losing it, but literally at the same instant he took off his helmet something stuck in my eye and they watered up... . Just to clarify....something was definitely in my eyes.... definitely. ;-)
@@notoriousb.d.c.8227 I had to hold back tears because I was in a breakroom with like 15 people on third shift ...I looked like Mando with tears in my eyes
You guys are lucky on the other had I was happened to be attacked by tear ninjas at that very moment.
Now Disney....WAS THAT SO HARD?
That's all we ever wanted
Just needed the right team, script and execution. And most importantly people that truly appreciate the art of story telling and Star Wars.
they still need to erase them from canon
A boring cuck show and a couple of minutes of 3d Mark Hamill. Yeah, what a succes.
@@DanielVSL well you can't please everyone
I'd like good writing too...
I’m still crying. Watched this episode 3 times already, get goosebumps every time Luke’s x-wing flies in. Thank you Dave and Jon for giving us the Star Wars we so desperately wanted. I’m so happy.
What an episode. My boyhood hero, Luke finally got the screentime he deserved.
Dude Luke throwing down on the dark troopers was such a perfect mirror to his father's massacre at the end of Rogue One. Vader went in and slaughtered all those resistance troops as a means to pursue truly evil ends (upsetting the Force by attempting to eradicate any deficiency in the Empire's genocidal superweapon), but ultimately failed his mission, whereas his son came in and cut down the enemy in pursuit of defending the Jedi Order and maintaining balance in the Force, achieving his endeavor of securing one of very few remaining Jedi. It was visual, poetic reflection of the duality of father and son, of light and dark, of triumph and defeat.
I could not have said it better myself.
That’s very impressive insight
And also this time he was rescuing a Padawan if you know what I mean.
I have a 14 year old daughter who knows of Star Wars but never sat down and watched any of them. She came to me and said I'd like to watch the Star Wars movies. So we spent 2 days and watched 1 - 6. Leaving out 7 8 and 9 and I went into detail with her why we are not watching 7 8 and 9. So next we watched the two seasons of the Mandalorian. Keep in mind she's just getting educated on Star Wars. When she saw it was Luke she damn near cried. She was so excited it was him. The force is strong with her knowledge lol. The fact she did this surprised the crap out of me but also ecstatic at the same time.
There's hope in luke appearance. This moment made me cry. I feel like a little child again!
Grogu's mind while saying goodbye to Mando: "So long, partner"
It was probably more like: “partner, so long”
the way i screamed when that X-Wing turned up
@Raphael tf...
Like a little girl?
why did the Eboys leave you out?
True 😢
I said "It's goddamn Luke Skywalker!!!!! Hahaha!
The fact we all had the chance to share it together makes me so honored to be a Star Wars fan. Luke is back baby! And he was the sickest part of both seasons. This, Revenge of the Sith, and end of Clone Wars was combined the best Star Wars ever.
Right there with you the first and each time re-watched this episode... Chills, excitement and thrill to see Luke back!! The feels of this episode were all over the place. Loved it and excited for more!!
Mando: Its ok, you can go with him. Dont be afraid.
Grogu: Are you sure? Heard this dude kissed his own sister!
wow lol
Home sweet alambama
Sweet Home Alderaan-a
@@DMO-DMO-DMOLMAOAOAOA
As soon as I saw that lone X-Wing I SCREAMED because I had a feeling it was Luke. This episode was great
Does ur whole group watch Star Wars?
Same
HYPERRRRR we were all feeling the same 😂😂
I did too. I yelled ITS FUCKIN SKYWALKER!!! My wife asked how I knew, I told her he's the only jedi that flies an x-wing
Hypeeeer i Love u
I’m 50 yrs old this year. Thought I was done with Star Wars over a decade ago. And then I stumbled upon the news today. And I cried. I didn’t even realize I could still care about a franchise I grew up with and was fascinated by for almost 40 years until I watched the last 10 minutes of the Mandalorian Season (something I had no interest in and refused to watch until today) here on YT. God bless Jon Favreau. I love that man. Thank you for caring enough to give OT fans and Mark Hamill the Luke Skywalker we all waited for and deserved to see. It matters and it was a long time coming. Just my 2 cents ❤️
wow. great rendition. seeing you in tears made me cry again.
Gideon: "I just wanted his blood"
Mando: "Shit why didn't you just ask for a sample instead of kidnapping him and blowing up my mf ship"
smh
That was actually my thoughts
Exactly x )
@Trashthlete "We'll pay you 1000 credits for a blood sample every month"
@Trashthlete he also probably wanted to kill Grogu once the experiment was done so there was no risk he’d become a Jedi threat
I loved how u can see the fear and terror on Moff Gideons face when he realizes who the Jedi was, amazing attention to detail
yee when he saw his idol's son
Imperial before: who’s Luke Skywalker
Imperials now: oh damn, suicide time
I noticed that too haha. "A JEDI!?!?" 😨😱
I couldn't help but cry of pure sadness and joy at this episode.
Sadness because of Din watching his son go away and crying as he watched him leave but also joy because of Luke's appearance in the show and Grogu going to be trained as a jedi and this season being absolutely phenomenal. Ashoka and Bo-Katan's live performance in this show brought such joy to me as a Clone Wars, and Star Wars in general, fan overcome with such joy. This was by far one of the best and most emotional episodes of The Mandalorian.
This was the Skywalker everyone expected in episode 7
This episode was better than the last 3 movies.
I don't understand why some people gotta bash the sequels every time they praise the Mandalorian. Let everyone enjoy this franchise the way they want.
@@0rcinus_orca22 Because they are trash. They should have been at least as good as this show.
@@MrC77 That is your opinion and I do respect it.
@@0rcinus_orca22 Because the Mandalorian proves what Disney is capable of, yet the sequels were horrible. Its difficult to watch the Mandalorian without that in mind, it's great but it's also a shame that the sequels weren't as good as they should've been
@@MrC77 they aren’t completely trash
This season of the Mandalorian as a whole literally has made the last quarter of this year bearable.
no fucking cap
Absolutely. It's the one exciting happy thrill I feel. And I'm 51, a child of the original Star Wars Cinematic release.
you are so right! the final episode made me forget 2020
Yes!
Absofuckinglutely. It saved Star Wars as far as I'm concerned.
You really hit the nail on the head man, that scene made me tear up and think about watching revenge of the sith on release day, I was 6 then. Can describe how amazing that scene was
Seeing you cry made me happy knowing this show can bring so much emotions out of a true fan like yourself and others and there is a New Hope for Star Wars in the future.
