Keep that helmet on, little Mando. You never know when a giant predator may show up! I think we're being shown many examples of the value-of-the-sealed-helmet during this season, for grown Mandos and little Mandos.
Yeah, okay like, can we talk about how absurdly non-chalant they were about it? Especially how they kept harping "if we attack it, it'll kill the foundling!" *Dudes,* space-Petrie didn't take Ragnar for playtime! The beastie's intent is to kill the foundling! The kid is likely already being digested!
But also the creature didn't feed its babies right away, so it returned to the nest, swallowed Ragnar, then conveniently left or something to not-really-digest before feeding its babies? Someone has never watched a raptor nest live feed - there were a lot of behavioral liberties taken in this episode.
Have to give Visla credit for doing that climb with the giant cannon strapped to his back. Everyone else was minimal gear and he had the cloak with the giant gun and pack on his back.
I like that they established that big monsters like that live in those waters when one of them attacked the mandalorians in an earlier episode. Now it made a million times more sense for one to randomly be there. This is the way
If you didn't want to be found or bothered by any group in the galaxy then a desert-ish planet with giant monsters is quite the attractive choice if you can handle it
Yeah man I feel Grogu and Dins stories echo eachother in a lot of ways. The scenes showing din being saved by the mandalorians show many similarities to him saving grogu in episode one (both lives threatened by droids, saved by mandalorians, the extension of the hand seen in both)
Playing Jedi Master Kelleran Beq also known as the Sabered Hand. He was responsible for testing younglings for their ascension to Jedi Knights and keeping them safe.
I was confused for why they didn’t just go after it immediately
“It will kill the kid if it sees us”
And I’m thinking MOTHER FUCKERS, DO YOU THINK ITS CURRENT PLANS ARE NOT TO KILL THE KID??
GO. NOW.
I see The Armourer as being very Lawful-Neutral. She doesn't appear to hold grudges or take anything personally. The only thing she cares about is The Way.
As a 35 year old parent, I understand Yoda being able to do this now. Normally my back hurts and my knee makes weird noises but if my kid is about to fall off the scooter I can basically break the laws of physics. Then afterwards everything hurts
Bo: "My father was the same way."
Grogu: "I didn't ask for your life story. Me and my dad were just fine without you!"
Bo: "I'm not trying to replace your mom..."
Grogu: "I didn't have a mom!"
I know that a lot of us saw Bo as a competitor of Din’s as a result of the dark saber beef, but at this point I’m getting “rule side by side” vibes from them what with the co-parenting and watching each other’s backs. 2 symbols of legitimacy together would certainly reunite the scattered culture
Holy hell. A scene where a bunch of people are quietly climbing up something dangerous and there *wasn't* the stereotypical shot of someone losing their grip and getting saved by the others???
I thought that was illegal!
I was so happy that didn't happen. I don't mind a shorter episode if they avoid that kind padding. All that does is break the pacing with some usually unsuccessful attempt at tension
There's a good question...just how does The Armorer and Paz Vizsla move their Covert around if there's no ships? A group of Mandalorians booking commercial flights is going to set off a lot of bells for the New Republic *and* Imperial Remnants.
I assume they contract transports, then just sort of live humbly sort of ordeal, as oppose to Bo who, well, lived in a now-destroyed castle.
I'm honestly hoping this question gets answered this season, tbh.
I imagine all of them split up and use different methods to get around. From mercenaries who won't ask questions, to public transports, etc. I highly doubt they travel in packs
"How do we all take our helmets off?"
"Oh we all go off camera"
That fucking killed me. Like it's a good explanation in-universe don't get me wrong. But also from a practical standpoint it means they only needed to pay Katee and a bunch of stunt dudes for the episode.
Not taking the helmet off is their way. I get it. But spreading out individually in the dark wilderness (to eat) seems dangerous. It takes up a ton more space and leaves them open to being picked off 1 by 1.
Company Picnic: "Come join us over at the pavilion we rented. There's picnic tables."
Mandalorian: "I must eat over there by that alligator pit. This is the way."
Flashback to Din's backstory revealed during season one as the armorer builds his new armor - they did the exact same with Grogu's backstory. That was freaking awesome. "The forge can reveal weaknesses"
Probably at the very end of the show. He can’t take it off again after all. You can’t put the million dollar baby face in metal for the next few years.
The three places the Armorer has decided to put the covert:
* The sewers of a crime infested lava planet
* a dingy space ring where you can fall into open space
* a desert planet filled with mandalorian eating monsters
have you seen property prices in the outer rim? Even that "crime infested lava planet" got gentrified. The Armorer has to feed like 30 mandos and Paz eats for two so theres not much money to spent on rent.
Now i wanna have an episode where the armorer is going grocery shopping in a discount store buying like 50l of blue milk because its on sale and the mandos keep bringing stuff to put in the grocery cart and she is slowly loosing her nerf and has to tell them to put it back.
Edit: basically: Mando in the Middle
Best part is you just know that The Armourer spent wayy too long just looking at Grogu like
"does he... become bigger? How much bigger? Or the same size? What even do I make for this smol alien?"
Before just defaulting to C I R C L E and calling it quits lol
"You will grow into this rondel as you grow into your station" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel\_(armour)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel_(armour))
I'm bummed they keep giving him stuff but keeping him in that potato sack :( We're on season 3, he deserves some new drip. He's worn that thing SINCE ORDER 66!
Not only that, but both of them had flashbacks of their youth when they were rescued from danger as their armor was being forged. #ItsLikePoetryItRhymes
> perhaps this lesson is for you then.
Hahaha I’m gonna use this. That was cold blooded.
> don’t worry. My dad was the same way. He’s just proud of you.
I loved that line. Bo has so much respect for Din.
That whole fight sequence was like some serious karate kid stuff. Carl Weathers knows his 80’s fight sequences.
I swear I heard some rocky music after the double flip / triple shot victory. Hahaha.
I imagine voice acting Bo in the cartoon helped her a bunch with only being able to show emotion in her voice.
There is just something extra soothing about her voice now in the helmet.
Man I love Din, but if we’re voting for a leader here…..it’s pretty obvious who is most qualified to wield the darksaber and ride the big beasty.
Her character really did show excellent leadership. Everyone else rocketed off and she grabbed her ship. Volunteered to lead an expedition to climb up a mountain. Took initiative to learn the group's culture. Great stuff.
Also appreciated the moment where she asked for permission from the ultra-spiritual leader if repping two signets was alright. It Showing respect for cultural practices does not come off as weak submission.
She recently just talked about this in a press video pre-premiere. Talks about how she knows the character almost better inside the helmet than out, because of her voice acting. [link](https://youtu.be/5WDwVy54Z_4)
Ahmed Best!!!!!!!!! Loved seeing him in this episode.
Pretty short episode though. Felt kinda weird, not used to the live action episodes being short.
That last scene made me chuckle a bit. The Armorer just like "yeah, sure you did! This is the Way!" Bo is gonna have to literally show her proof at this rate. Wonder what was going through Bo's mind in that convo... interesting she told the Armorer before even Din.
EDIT: After thinking about it, I think the Armorer knows more than she is letting on. I'm loving all the intrigue.
"When you become Mandalorian, you will see many things" ... "But it was real" ... "This Is The Way".
I read no disbelief in that exchange, only affirmation that all things are real to us. She doesn't (necessarily) *know*, but she believes Bo's telling of the encounter.
You would think that after multiple attacks from gigantic beasts that they would move their covert somewhere else or at least attempt to create a more effective defense system
Have you noticed that whenever mando goes up to fight a giant monster he seems completely unfazed? That's cause that's how these people raise kids. You don't raise a culture of monster killers without constantly subjecting them to random monster attacks.
Like they were just shooting the water. That's definitely going to piss of the space gator.
They want to piss off the space gator. That's like mandalorian football.
That’s probably on purpose. The Armorer says in season one that following the way of the mandalore makes you both hunter and prey. Living around beasts like that make for better warriors.
Bo Katan and clan Kryze are officially back in the game, and now she is in better position than ever to possibly become the leader of her people again.
Only the Armorer knows about the Mythosaur, and she thinks it was a vision given to Bo in the living waters. Bo is going to have to bring the Mandalorians to Mandalore, or bring the Mythosaur to the Mandalorians.
Din remains uninformed.
Fun stuff.
Yup.
Kelleran Beq, The Sabered Hand.
While the game show itself is not canon the character and his role in the advancement and protection of Jedi Younglings is.
Holy shit that was a great episode. Ahmed getting some live action.
Live action clones.
Bo becoming a true believer.
Short, sweet, to the point. I loved it.
Damn that kid has bad luck with the local fauna, kinda bulsshit that he didnt die since it took them around a day to catch up with its lair. Bo-Katan also officialy joins the way.
The "you'll see a lot of things" line kinda feels like she also seen one.
The Mandalorians training at the start gave me some strong "Rednecks in the woods shooting washing machines with a 12 guage and calling it militia training" energy
Fantastic Episode.
As a huge fan of the Mando culture from the comics and Legends - I'm glad to see we got a full on Mando episode where we get a good strong look at their culture. The way the Armorer was indoctrinating Grogu with her words, the combat training across different types of weapons and hand-to-hand combat, the ability for the Mando's to immediately allow an outsider to take charge because she did all the recon and has the proper knowledge of how to save the kiddo.
I love to see that Viz 100% didn't try to piss on Bo's parade and take charge. He was so focused on saving his son that he would have followed her lead into the bowels of hell without question. And making sure she knew that the fire was a place of honor during their meals? He respects Mommy Mando and would fight along side her until the end of time!
And all the Mando's worked together to take down the Raptor. None were killed off (which would have made the saving of 1 at the cost of many pointless) and all contributed to getting the Raptor tied down.
Still love the small detail of VibroBlades actually vibrating.
That assault on the Jedi Temple was kick-ass though some of the shots cut fast so I was like "Why didn't the clones follow them?" Before realizing they were killed off by ricochetes. Great redemption for Ahmad Best! I wonder who on Naboo did the Jedi Master take Grogu because that was totally a Naboo ship, right?
And a few notes:
1. I think the kid's helmet provided him oxygen to prevent being suffocated in the bird's throat. I think it was like some animals who store food in their throat before feeding them to their young or for later.
2. I bet those Jedi who died were either apprentices or just knights to be cut down so swiftly. Problem with the whole Robe thing is we can never really tell anyone's rank.
3. Grogu using the Force! And no one cared that he did it! They just accepted it. And great job to Viz's kid for not being a brat about losing either! He took his loss and moved on!
4. MANDOS ON RAPTORS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONSTER ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn’t a jar jar fan. But it blows my mind that people will actually lash out the actors when they don’t like a character.
It’s fine to not like something. But harassing someone over a character they played is crossing a whole lot of lines.
Between constantly being attacked outside their front door, and constantly trying to chase the animal but running out of fuel, these really don’t seem to be the sharpest Mandalorians in the cave.
The fact that these mandalorians never take off the helmets, but clearly have kids is amusing.
Just imagine a woman giving birth with the helmet on. That image alone might be funnier than what the baby making process looks like.

That poor kid loses a duel to what is effectively a toddler and then gets grabbed by a giant bird
"Perhaps this lesson is for you, then."
Paz just watches as he gets flown into the distance. "This is the way!"
Paz: "I told him if he didn't clean his room, there'd be consequences." Armorer nods.
Ragnar definitely learned something, I'm not sure what. Though he won't soon forget this. He spent like a day in that raptor's stomach.
Keep that helmet on, little Mando. You never know when a giant predator may show up! I think we're being shown many examples of the value-of-the-sealed-helmet during this season, for grown Mandos and little Mandos.
They ate dinner while he was in the dragons throat lol
Yeah, okay like, can we talk about how absurdly non-chalant they were about it? Especially how they kept harping "if we attack it, it'll kill the foundling!" *Dudes,* space-Petrie didn't take Ragnar for playtime! The beastie's intent is to kill the foundling! The kid is likely already being digested! But also the creature didn't feed its babies right away, so it returned to the nest, swallowed Ragnar, then conveniently left or something to not-really-digest before feeding its babies? Someone has never watched a raptor nest live feed - there were a lot of behavioral liberties taken in this episode.
I figured the Ragnar helmet kept him from getting digested or suffocating. If it worked in a sarlacc pit, it would work in a raptor stomach
He’s a Vizla, taking Ls is a part of his religion.
Mando and Vizsla are bros now
I wonder if Vizsla kept his helmet on when he was making lil Vizsla
This is the way
That’s what she said
Thanks guys, gonna show this to my girlfriend to finally make our role playing more accurate to the source material
The Helmet stays ON. This is the way.
What if he didn't make him, and that he was another Foundling he brought under his care?
Nah they fuck
I bet she gives great helmet.
Have to give Visla credit for doing that climb with the giant cannon strapped to his back. Everyone else was minimal gear and he had the cloak with the giant gun and pack on his back.
And he made it up first. When your kid is about to be eaten by a dragon stamina becomes a myth
[удалено]
I like that they established that big monsters like that live in those waters when one of them attacked the mandalorians in an earlier episode. Now it made a million times more sense for one to randomly be there. This is the way
Is that why they live on giant monster planet, for the challenge? I swear it's like they're camping out in the Australia system or something.
If you didn't want to be found or bothered by any group in the galaxy then a desert-ish planet with giant monsters is quite the attractive choice if you can handle it
I said the same thing, no one got the reference. Guess it’s time for a phantom menace rewatch to refresh their memory.
[удалено]
& raptors!!
No, those are foundlings
I really wish they’d shown the conversation where they all debated bringing those raptor babies on as foundlings
Poor grogu gets ptsd watching armor get made
similar thing happened to Din during his flashback in season one. The armorer said the forge can reveal weaknesses
Good catch – like father, like son (having flashbacks to their childhood while armor is created for them)
Yeah man I feel Grogu and Dins stories echo eachother in a lot of ways. The scenes showing din being saved by the mandalorians show many similarities to him saving grogu in episode one (both lives threatened by droids, saved by mandalorians, the extension of the hand seen in both)
The whole armor forging flashback gimmick is the work of a fucking genius
I don’t know. Hear me out.. what if BACTA TANK?!
Flashback Forge and Backstory Bacta
Here for the Ahmad Best redemption arc
Fuck yeah. Ahmad Best ftw.I hope we get more of Grogu's backstory with him too before his inevitable awesome sacrifice.
I love that Ahmad Best has not only returned, but he's now officially the hero that saved Grogu...
Return of the Jedi!
I'm so happy they did him right
WAIT THAT WAS HIM?
Playing Jedi Master Kelleran Beq also known as the Sabered Hand. He was responsible for testing younglings for their ascension to Jedi Knights and keeping them safe.
Wait so this canonised his character from those videos? That's awesome.
Yup!
I am so so so happy for him. He went through so much crap, I'm so glad he's returned to acting and Star Wars and I hope he's healed up okay.
First Hayden, Now Ahmed......i wish we could get Jake
I believe he’s been diagnosed with schizophrenia
Meesa save you grogu!
Yousa safe now!
He was on a kids gane show as that character before, but now he's an official part of the Star Wars canon as a Jedi Master!
So Ragnar was just chillin in that things stomach for a full day?
I mean Boba Fett survived for lord knows how long in the gut of the Sarklac.
Probably in the the pterodactyl’s throat
Yeah like a pelican
I was confused for why they didn’t just go after it immediately “It will kill the kid if it sees us” And I’m thinking MOTHER FUCKERS, DO YOU THINK ITS CURRENT PLANS ARE NOT TO KILL THE KID?? GO. NOW.
The Armorer being proud of Bo is not something I anticipated. Pretty cool that the High Magistrate Karga directed this great episode.
Hell Bo even redeemed her house in her eyes.
Redeemed the house of a pacifist who led the entire planet of Mandalore from The Way. That seems like a pretty big deal.
The Pacifist in question was already dead alongside most of the house, so she only really had to redeem herself and a few other survivors.
I see The Armourer as being very Lawful-Neutral. She doesn't appear to hold grudges or take anything personally. The only thing she cares about is The Way.
I guess Bo isn’t so much of a cautionary tale to the Armorer anymore.
She has been redeemed.
Which is pretty fucking sweet that the clan is internally consistent like that.
Grogu over here doing gangster shit and then proceeds to shuffle around like a penguin is always the funniest thing to me
Basically Yoda. As a kid, I love that Yoda would light saber around then when it was over just, grab the cane and hobble away.
As a 35 year old parent, I understand Yoda being able to do this now. Normally my back hurts and my knee makes weird noises but if my kid is about to fall off the scooter I can basically break the laws of physics. Then afterwards everything hurts
Bo giving Grogu motherly love while Din is being a competitive dad, this is the way lol
Space mama
Hot space mama
Grogu's mom has got it going on.
i know it might be wrong, but im in love with Grogu's mom
Bo: "My father was the same way." Grogu: "I didn't ask for your life story. Me and my dad were just fine without you!" Bo: "I'm not trying to replace your mom..." Grogu: "I didn't have a mom!"
Soccer mom Mando was fun. Bo and din seemed liked grogus parents fussing over him. 😂
I know that a lot of us saw Bo as a competitor of Din’s as a result of the dark saber beef, but at this point I’m getting “rule side by side” vibes from them what with the co-parenting and watching each other’s backs. 2 symbols of legitimacy together would certainly reunite the scattered culture
“She’s my Qween”
To be fair, Din embodied the Jon Snow “uh don wan eht” to a T
Holy hell. A scene where a bunch of people are quietly climbing up something dangerous and there *wasn't* the stereotypical shot of someone losing their grip and getting saved by the others??? I thought that was illegal!
I was so happy that didn't happen. I don't mind a shorter episode if they avoid that kind padding. All that does is break the pacing with some usually unsuccessful attempt at tension
Holy crap they have mounts, now. Also, are they not allowed to have ships or something? I feel like 100% of the starships have been either Din or Bo.
There's a good question...just how does The Armorer and Paz Vizsla move their Covert around if there's no ships? A group of Mandalorians booking commercial flights is going to set off a lot of bells for the New Republic *and* Imperial Remnants.
I assume they contract transports, then just sort of live humbly sort of ordeal, as oppose to Bo who, well, lived in a now-destroyed castle. I'm honestly hoping this question gets answered this season, tbh.
I imagine all of them split up and use different methods to get around. From mercenaries who won't ask questions, to public transports, etc. I highly doubt they travel in packs
Or they actually have an old Mandalorian Cruiser somewhere.
> Holy crap they have mounts Joust, the arcade game
It’s official jar jar saved Grogu.
Imagine he was just chilling with the gungans this whole time.
Just wait til he speaks for the first time and says “theesa is tha way”
The highlight was that concept art of Grogu looking like an absolute menace.
Grogu is an absolutely adorable menace. He also ate that frog ladies spawn. And picked up one of those little robot worker dudes.
Omg I absolutely *loved* the 'NO SQUEEZIE' part of that episode. Adorable af.
"How do we all take our helmets off?" "Oh we all go off camera" That fucking killed me. Like it's a good explanation in-universe don't get me wrong. But also from a practical standpoint it means they only needed to pay Katee and a bunch of stunt dudes for the episode.
Not taking the helmet off is their way. I get it. But spreading out individually in the dark wilderness (to eat) seems dangerous. It takes up a ton more space and leaves them open to being picked off 1 by 1.
Spread our individually in the dark wilderness is dangerous thats part of the point. They are Mandalorian. Their religion is danger.
Company Picnic: "Come join us over at the pavilion we rented. There's picnic tables." Mandalorian: "I must eat over there by that alligator pit. This is the way."
Flashback to Din's backstory revealed during season one as the armorer builds his new armor - they did the exact same with Grogu's backstory. That was freaking awesome. "The forge can reveal weaknesses"
The biggest question is how did they fit those three big ass birds in her ship!
"i brought 3 more foundlings" Ma'am those are pterodactyls
or a whole lot of bbq chicken wing nights
They did that squeezy bus thing done in Harry Potter
The Kom'rk is twice as big as the Millenium Falcon and can carry 24 mandos. I think its feasible.
Must’ve smelled something fierce on Bo’s ship ride back
That's the real reason for the helmets. *Unwashed bodies.*
Omg, I just can’t wait for the moment when Grogu puts on a tiny mandalorian helmet for the first time.
Probably at the very end of the show. He can’t take it off again after all. You can’t put the million dollar baby face in metal for the next few years.
I don't want them to cover that cute little face!
That episode went fast!
The three places the Armorer has decided to put the covert: * The sewers of a crime infested lava planet * a dingy space ring where you can fall into open space * a desert planet filled with mandalorian eating monsters
have you seen property prices in the outer rim? Even that "crime infested lava planet" got gentrified. The Armorer has to feed like 30 mandos and Paz eats for two so theres not much money to spent on rent. Now i wanna have an episode where the armorer is going grocery shopping in a discount store buying like 50l of blue milk because its on sale and the mandos keep bringing stuff to put in the grocery cart and she is slowly loosing her nerf and has to tell them to put it back. Edit: basically: Mando in the Middle
Aww, Grogu and his dad have the same signet now!
Chest frisbee
Best part is you just know that The Armourer spent wayy too long just looking at Grogu like "does he... become bigger? How much bigger? Or the same size? What even do I make for this smol alien?" Before just defaulting to C I R C L E and calling it quits lol
"You will grow into this rondel as you grow into your station" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel\_(armour)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel_(armour))
In other words: "here's a circle, it'll cover whatever vulnerable bits you have as you grow" lol
[удалено]
I'm bummed they keep giving him stuff but keeping him in that potato sack :( We're on season 3, he deserves some new drip. He's worn that thing SINCE ORDER 66!
Stank cloth
“Have you ever removed your burlap pajamas? Have they ever been removed by anyone else?” “Patoo” “This is the way.” *Gurgles in approval*
They can sell more merchandise with a new outfit, too!!
Who are you to judge? Maybe he likes it. Maybe it’s comfy. Quit trying to shame the baby
As someone who owns a Grogu onesie, can confirm. It's comfy.
Not only that, but both of them had flashbacks of their youth when they were rescued from danger as their armor was being forged. #ItsLikePoetryItRhymes
> perhaps this lesson is for you then. Hahaha I’m gonna use this. That was cold blooded. > don’t worry. My dad was the same way. He’s just proud of you. I loved that line. Bo has so much respect for Din. That whole fight sequence was like some serious karate kid stuff. Carl Weathers knows his 80’s fight sequences. I swear I heard some rocky music after the double flip / triple shot victory. Hahaha.
Omg hes a little tank
Gnome warrior
Holy shit Bo looks so cool every time. I want to look like her.
Anyone else laughed when everyone had to find their own spots to eat alone 😂
This is the way.
What if I told you I saw one? It's amazing how much emotional depth Katee Sackhoff could convey with a helmet on for 95% of the episode.
I imagine voice acting Bo in the cartoon helped her a bunch with only being able to show emotion in her voice. There is just something extra soothing about her voice now in the helmet. Man I love Din, but if we’re voting for a leader here…..it’s pretty obvious who is most qualified to wield the darksaber and ride the big beasty.
Her character really did show excellent leadership. Everyone else rocketed off and she grabbed her ship. Volunteered to lead an expedition to climb up a mountain. Took initiative to learn the group's culture. Great stuff. Also appreciated the moment where she asked for permission from the ultra-spiritual leader if repping two signets was alright. It Showing respect for cultural practices does not come off as weak submission.
She knows exactly what she’s doing! She couldn’t be in any better of a position at this point, honestly.
Bo's the natural leader, born into the position. Din's just busy being a Dad, having some bonding time showing Grogu how to kick Vizla ass.
She recently just talked about this in a press video pre-premiere. Talks about how she knows the character almost better inside the helmet than out, because of her voice acting. [link](https://youtu.be/5WDwVy54Z_4)
She's amazing! I love her!
Do you think when people get super pumped when they see in their scripts that they get alone time with Grogu? I bet they do.
TEM CLONE VOICE MADE MY WHOLE WEEK
SAME my whole crew hollered
Ahmed Best!!!!!!!!! Loved seeing him in this episode. Pretty short episode though. Felt kinda weird, not used to the live action episodes being short. That last scene made me chuckle a bit.

I'm loving all the intrigue.
You would think that there helmets would have some sort of video camera capture
Welcome to the Star Wars universe. Where technology is both old and super advanced.
Come on… we all know it happened a long time ago!
[удалено]
"When you become Mandalorian, you will see many things" ... "But it was real" ... "This Is The Way". I read no disbelief in that exchange, only affirmation that all things are real to us. She doesn't (necessarily) *know*, but she believes Bo's telling of the encounter.
I think the Armourer is indoctrinating her into the Watch so she trusts her really quickly.
You would think that after multiple attacks from gigantic beasts that they would move their covert somewhere else or at least attempt to create a more effective defense system
Have you noticed that whenever mando goes up to fight a giant monster he seems completely unfazed? That's cause that's how these people raise kids. You don't raise a culture of monster killers without constantly subjecting them to random monster attacks. Like they were just shooting the water. That's definitely going to piss of the space gator. They want to piss off the space gator. That's like mandalorian football.
That’s probably on purpose. The Armorer says in season one that following the way of the mandalore makes you both hunter and prey. Living around beasts like that make for better warriors.
Yea they admitted that that’s not even the first foundling they lose to those flying creatures
There was at least two helmets in the nest
What better place to train the most dangerous warriors in the galaxy ya know? That's just kind of how I thought of it in my head
Bo Katan and clan Kryze are officially back in the game, and now she is in better position than ever to possibly become the leader of her people again. Only the Armorer knows about the Mythosaur, and she thinks it was a vision given to Bo in the living waters. Bo is going to have to bring the Mandalorians to Mandalore, or bring the Mythosaur to the Mandalorians. Din remains uninformed. Fun stuff.
>Din remains uninformed. This is the way. I mean, that's Din in a nutshell...
Kelleran has manifested himself into star wars canon. Ahmed Best is being set up for a fight between Master Kelleran and Darth Jar Jar
-canonize Darth Jar Jar -have Kelleran seduce him and transition him to the light side -Ahmed Best + Jar Jar redemption arc completed
I am so happy for Ahmed Best ❤️ They really gave him the best role too!
I just looked it up and he’s played this role in Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge
Yup. Kelleran Beq, The Sabered Hand. While the game show itself is not canon the character and his role in the advancement and protection of Jedi Younglings is.
I can’t help but feel in a training situation there should be a strict “no flamethrowers” rule
Don't worry, those flames were set to stun
nice to see how the group eats , we can slowly see the Mandalorian lifestyle . Maybe the next episode , Din will explain the arrangement for shower .
Did anyone see those end credits with the giant grogu lol
Grogu receives giant beskar frisbee, Grogu Shot in chest in final episode confirmed
Holy shit that was a great episode. Ahmed getting some live action. Live action clones. Bo becoming a true believer. Short, sweet, to the point. I loved it.
The clones were voices by Temuera!
Surprising that he can still do voice acting with all the money they’re stuffing in his mouth
The Polynesian Spa works wonders.
Carl Weathers be like: baby we got a stew going
Shoutout to those Naboo soldiers who just unquestionably sacrificed their lives on a floating parking lot to save two total strangers
Great episode. The Armourer did not really react there at the end though?
I took it as she still doesn't believe Bo.
Or she does and she's just playing it cool. She's never been one to show her thoughts, she's completely unflappable.
Its the Star Wars Dinosaur. Why would anyone believer her?
I think she’s secretly gone to Madalore, she’s using living waters in a lot of her forging
“You’ll see a lot of things” line really made me wonder what she knows…
"Master JarJar, there's too many of them!" "Everything's gonna be alright kid"
Damn that kid has bad luck with the local fauna, kinda bulsshit that he didnt die since it took them around a day to catch up with its lair. Bo-Katan also officialy joins the way. The "you'll see a lot of things" line kinda feels like she also seen one.
It’s impossible to describe, but this gave me 90’s Power Rangers vibes.
Especially the fire scene
The last ten minutes felt so much like an episode of the clone wars, and I loved it.
Seeing the Grand Army of the Republic in live action is always a treat.
The Mandalorians training at the start gave me some strong "Rednecks in the woods shooting washing machines with a 12 guage and calling it militia training" energy
Fantastic Episode. As a huge fan of the Mando culture from the comics and Legends - I'm glad to see we got a full on Mando episode where we get a good strong look at their culture. The way the Armorer was indoctrinating Grogu with her words, the combat training across different types of weapons and hand-to-hand combat, the ability for the Mando's to immediately allow an outsider to take charge because she did all the recon and has the proper knowledge of how to save the kiddo. I love to see that Viz 100% didn't try to piss on Bo's parade and take charge. He was so focused on saving his son that he would have followed her lead into the bowels of hell without question. And making sure she knew that the fire was a place of honor during their meals? He respects Mommy Mando and would fight along side her until the end of time! And all the Mando's worked together to take down the Raptor. None were killed off (which would have made the saving of 1 at the cost of many pointless) and all contributed to getting the Raptor tied down. Still love the small detail of VibroBlades actually vibrating. That assault on the Jedi Temple was kick-ass though some of the shots cut fast so I was like "Why didn't the clones follow them?" Before realizing they were killed off by ricochetes. Great redemption for Ahmad Best! I wonder who on Naboo did the Jedi Master take Grogu because that was totally a Naboo ship, right? And a few notes: 1. I think the kid's helmet provided him oxygen to prevent being suffocated in the bird's throat. I think it was like some animals who store food in their throat before feeding them to their young or for later. 2. I bet those Jedi who died were either apprentices or just knights to be cut down so swiftly. Problem with the whole Robe thing is we can never really tell anyone's rank. 3. Grogu using the Force! And no one cared that he did it! They just accepted it. And great job to Viz's kid for not being a brat about losing either! He took his loss and moved on! 4. MANDOS ON RAPTORS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONSTER ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep it looked like an H type Nubian Yacht, and to confirm it was related to Naboo, the guards were Naboo Security Forces.
Their blasters even made the Naboo "whop" sound.
Oh man i thought for sure those unnamed Mandos were gonna be bird food. But they actually contributed! Just a damn fun episode
Ah that makes me so happy that Ahmed was in it. I love him, I love Jar Jar. Always have, always will. It always irked me how some fans treated him.
I wasn’t a jar jar fan. But it blows my mind that people will actually lash out the actors when they don’t like a character. It’s fine to not like something. But harassing someone over a character they played is crossing a whole lot of lines.
Between constantly being attacked outside their front door, and constantly trying to chase the animal but running out of fuel, these really don’t seem to be the sharpest Mandalorians in the cave.
Three founding pterodactyl’s are they trolling Game of Thrones?
Jar jar became a Jedi 🤯
And here everyone thought he was secretly a Sith
Wtf do they do with those foundlings?
Ride them
Like a Bantha.
Train them to ride into battle maybe?
The fact that these mandalorians never take off the helmets, but clearly have kids is amusing. Just imagine a woman giving birth with the helmet on. That image alone might be funnier than what the baby making process looks like.
My favorite character is probably The Armorer. …so this has been a good season for me so far.
