We're going to build on hugs. And welcome to another episode of regular video on this toy because I'm the host, I'll be talking about the run and join as we have seen. I don't know when. Oh, yeah, co-hosts, all day.
All day we made it to the end of the Mandalorian season three. How are we feeling right now before we get into it? Man, I'm sad. I don't know what I'm going to do.
I know what I'm going to do next Wednesday. It's the last all day still. But yeah, I know it's kind of leaving an empty hole in my heart. Yeah, that's a lot of energy.
That last was pretty good. I watched the episode last night. It was very good. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm not sure if I will get into that. But yeah, season three at the Mandalorian came and went pretty quickly. I know it's been eight weeks within, get to episodes like they've done for the bad bash for we don't know.
I can't even book about it. Maybe, maybe having it at the same time as my notebook about it. But you know, having the same time with bad bash, maybe everything went by quicker. But we'll get into it.
Full disclosure, we're recording this on Thursday. It was still about Saturday. Yeah. I'm going to say shout about it.
Yeah, no chat. I know Mo. I'm going to message from Mo. She says she's not here with us tonight.
But she will be here in the replay later. But things happen. You have a work thing, which is funny. It works for me also because I have one of my brothers in law.
It's coming with his family on Saturday night. So maybe as we're getting into it, I got a whole other family jumping to my house with two kids at the same age of my kids. It's going to be on the morning. So we don't work.
I think it works. Oh my god. All right. So even if we're not live, as always guys, thanks for joining us today.
This is your first time watching us. Thank you. Make sure you subscribe to our channel. We've got a lot of fun stuff coming.
Don't comment on the chat. But let us know in the comments below what you thought about the episode 23, chapter 23 of the Mandalorian. That return, we're going to get deep into it. That's for season three.
Let us know what you guys thought about the episode, the whole season. Give us a thumbs up. Of course, I won't be able to remind you since there's no live chat. And we'll probably release the audio portion of this on Saturday also instead of winning it tomorrow.
We'll release it Saturday. But I'm just going to give a tease or something that's coming up because I don't want to jinx it. It's not a hundred percent confirmed, but just a quick tease or something that might happen here mid-May. We're still hiring now on the dates.
But we're close to getting one of the authors from the High Republic to be here with us live to discuss their newest book. So if you're a fan of the High Republic, make sure to join us in the coming weeks when that announcement is going to be revealed. So are you excited? I'm nervous.
I'm very nervous. Not only are first, let's say Star Wars guests are we here to do a review of our book with the author. It's kind of a nerf rank a little bit. Yeah, I hope I leave because I'm brutally honest.
Knowing you, I think you'll enjoy this book pretty much. I've heard nothing but things about it. I almost don't think I'm going to do it. Yeah.
All right. So it's very exciting because I can go into celebrations, seeing that panel with all the lonese writers. I feel like I could talk with any of them for about Star Wars for hours. So very, very good.
It's going to be interesting. So hopefully in maybe next week, I'll know about the date and then we'll be able to reveal it soon. So we'll see. All right.
So let's go because we got to do this. So if you guys already have not already less stocks, Star Wars and of course Star Wars on TV. Star Wars on TV. I'm not quite the Mandalorian, but the best part of the whole episode right there.
We're going to do it. Sorry because... What did we do? Oh my goodness.
We've not done a whole thing. It fell down the hole into the abyss because of course if it's an empire imperial basis, we are going to do this. No, no, no, no. Yeah.
I love first when R5 comes in, just flying. After he lands, he turns back to look at the hole. He's like, dude, you already made it while you're looking over. All right, let's go.
Just go. Oh, man. Othy, before we jump into it, I told you before we saw it. I do things a little bit different today.
We're not going to go scene by scene. We're just going to overview the episode, things that happened, things that didn't happen, were expectations too high, they found them around it, season four, all these stuff. So it's going to be a little bit different, but a lot of fun. So we just saw R5.
I tweeted this out as soon as I saw it. This episode was very unusual. The other same feeling, it was just... I did.
Then I laid back. The draw is having fun. Right before I record the reveal. It ends.
I make coffee, sit down, I'm going to be able to review. And I remember as the episode was playing, I was texting Tony. And I was like, this feels like New Hope. We got the droid suing the thing.
Our main character is hiding from the Stormtroopers always. I don't know. Even the whole thing with our main characters in trouble and the droid facing troubles themselves and having to figure it out. I love that.
Yeah, it was very... Everyone in the garbage should, well, see, trip and I try to fix it. And even when Moff Gideon says, oh, I'll deal with it myself or something like that, it's very dark Vader. It's like, come on, I've seen this before and I love it.
Yeah, it even had vibes of Obi-Wan looking for Vader and the Death Star and then looking for each other. Yeah, very, very interesting. Before, again, before we jump into more specifics, did you enjoy the episode and are you surprised with some of the reception out there in social media? I love the episode.
The minute the episode ended, I was like, this is going to be a problem because there was a lot of speculation going into it. I have a lot of thoughts on what Lucasfilm announced and how that might have affected the people that are going on in the episode. So I had that in my mind. So I'm not so...
I don't think I was that surprised. I'm surprised of some of the criticisms and the people it's coming from. And again, we can get into that because I think people are missing the point of some things and it's people who don't usually do that. We know who to expect to do these things.
So that's a little bit surprising to me. Not to say, hey, if you don't like the episode, that's I think that's a perfectly valid opinion. But I think that as people are getting into it, this course, I'm not really engaging that much with people being negative about it. But at least being a little bit scratching my head.
I'm happy that I've been busy at work these past two days to not be online that much and see as it's going down. I heard when I log in, I can see the overview of people complaining and the little pockets in there. And a lot of the complaints are very similar. And a lot of the things that people love are very similar.
And like you mentioned, it's I will let them by own expectations. They played safe with the finale. I think yes, can be the answer for both. But it's also what you bring into it.
Like, and we're going to get more into it. I said, I think this person is the spy, which didn't turn out, but we'll get into it. Oh, I think this person might show up. That didn't happen.
It's someone's going to die. It's probably not. It didn't happen. So what's it safe?
Yes. But at the same time, it's Star Wars. Everyone is very George Lucas in the way he does things. George Lucas really didn't kill a lot of his main cast.
And it is a happy ending. People complain about the end of Rysos Skywalk. Oh, she's alone. And in Back in the Desert, compare it to the end to Return of the Jedi whenever it's happy.
People are very happy ending. And people are like, oh, you suck. I don't want to get into Rysos Skywalker, but I don't think that's a sad ending. I don't think Ray's leaving him.
I mean, everyone knows, but that's the easy point to make. Oh, she's back in the desert where she started. No, she's not. But that's a separate issue.
You know, it's again, if you don't like the episode. And there's, I've got a shout out Maggie here. She talks about, you know, some of her complaints relating to some missed opportunities perhaps. And I can totally see that.
I sometimes get frustrated when a show or a movie has like something right there that they can just like knock it out of the park and they just like turn around and do something else. So again, that bothers you. I think that's perfectly fine. There were some things that I would have loved them to do, but I just love what they ended up doing that I was fine with it.
Yeah. Maggie, I loved when Maggie's here. And all those people because they usually being a different perspective that they want I have and usually their own point. And like you said, Maggie works with collider, great weekly reviews of the Mandalorian and all the Star Wars shows.
And I read her review after I finished watching the episodes. And I agree with, I think all of her points, but I still enjoy this episode. Like, yes, they could have done all that and maybe make more sense. But I enjoy myself, which is what I want when I'm watching the Mandalorian, which I said before, it's not that deep of a show.
I know there's some things behind it. Yeah. It's a very simple show. And I like when it hits those beats.
Yeah. I want to mention it kind of defending myself because the other day I was talking about another person and I got a lot of reports of people saying he hates him because they disagree. And I'm like, no, Maggie and I have fundamentally different opinions on it. Basically everything Star Wars, I love Rice's Skywalker.
She hates Rice's Skywalker. She loves her wong. I don't really like Rogue One. So there's a lot of like clashing and r.
opinions. But I always want to see what she has to say because I understand that there's other points of view and star with him. That's like why I started podcasting. That's why I started going into it because I wanted to engage with that.
And as long as it comes from a sincere point of view, it's genuine. It's good faith arguments. I'm all for it. You know what makes me grumpy is when people just saving to, you know, rile up other people in.
Yeah. Yeah. Like someone shaving the most. Another clones.
Oh, it's no. I finally fucking blocked that guy. I can't believe you're sending to me. But that's okay.
We'll just mention that when we get to more forgiving his clones. But I know we went, at least at two of us, we didn't have high expectations of all the cameras are going to show up. We say, look, it's not going to show up. It's not going to be here.
Maybe overhead because it's a Mandalorian. But we wouldn't expect all that. But for the main fandom out there, if they're coming with what has happened, episode one was a reveal of the dog saver, which for big nerds like us, we understand what this is. Most people won't know what the dog saver was at that point.
Look, of course, big reveal. Everyone loved it. Shouldn't I understand. Has that was been building itself up to have a big reveal at the end?
That's why people just were expecting it. And then from there, we can jump into these spies. We're actually, there were no spies. We're things getting set up.
Like other people, like you said, Maggie, and all that. I said things were set up that apparently have a payoff. But you also said, maybe look at title. It's just a title we're really into watching because Phidoni and Faro don't know what spies are.
They're not going to cram it. I think the whole finale expecting a huge thing, I think that's warranted. I think it's kind of like the ninth episode in a game of Thrones season. We expect that to be.
And that was one of the big things going into Azadiragans. It's just kind of happening and really didn't. So cool. But yeah, so I think, but again, it's kind of this thing.
Well, they kind of did. Because I think it was Brendan Wayne who was like, oh, you're going to regret this. Why are we going to regret this? So I think that's warranted.
The whole spies things. Again, I'll just say that episode is fairly titled. And if Dave, Rick, and Faro want to come out and explain why, I'll be all ears. But why?
Just call it return to mind though or something. I don't know. But yeah, I know that. I think that was very poorly titled.
And I think it's warranted to expect that they were going to make a bigger reveal. They were despised. They were like, the shadow council. They're despised.
They're hiding out. I can make my own connection. I think that's probably the network of spies in the New Republic from the Imperial. But that's not what the episodes are.
So if anything, the conference should be despised because that's when we see that. There's bigger things that go away. So let's talk about the spies real quick. We spent like 50 minutes last week about all the theories, the armory, ex-wolf, even freaking Griff cargo with the bottle from Kurosan.
Everyone says, and I say that we're on Twitter. It's ex-wolf. I have pictures because everyone on the fleek command don't have helmet. This is all coming to it.
It's going somehow, it's getting back into space. And there's no spies. Are you surprised? Are you okay?
This is when the reveal is coming. When he finally showed up in Fleek-o-Man, he said, everyone get back on the gun. Let's watch a great scene. And like, here it comes.
It's going to be the armory. And then, hey, Boca-tan, it's me. I got the reinforcements. I'm like, oh, okay, no spies.
No spies. No spies. Now, when Boca-tan's like talking to access, he's going to the ship, I was like, the minute she finishes, he's going to be like, I know Princess, and start like showing everyone in the ship or something. Like, I was expecting something like that.
And it didn't happen. And he's like, evacuate. He's like, oh, he's going to start attacking them now. And then I was like, oh, but the armory, she said she was going there.
She wasn't there. Oh, they didn't show her. Like, is the armory? And all of a sudden, like, oh, I have the reinforcements.
So I'm like, who's the spy? I was like, very nervous. I was like, waiting for it until like the very end. Yeah.
Once he said, oh, I'm bringing the ship down. Get out of the way. Okay. I guess we're just on spies.
When they started bombing the crew, they're like, okay, I guess it's not him. But even though I said, we're not going to go scene by scene, that scene with all the landowners jumping out of the crew. So in the jetpacks entering the gunlets and then all going down, that's all top tier star wars. I love that.
That's like something I love in filmmaking and TV shows are all something that's like a cool shot, but doesn't really make that much sense. And I love that visual of the gonglets going down and five seconds later, the time. But I was like, how come they didn't crash if they weren't like seeing each other? And they saw each other, wait, then they started attacking each other?
Like, it's been like a second literally. Yeah. I thought about it the first time. Then the second time, I mean, there's interference.
So maybe they couldn't see each other or the radar sign working, but I'm sure that if they look out the viewport, they probably saw them. So again, very surprised that they weren't any spies as we were all waiting for it. They didn't change my overall enjoyment of the episode, but I understand why people at this one are starting to feel a little bit okay, they're missing something. Then the other big thing with being talking out for a whole week, who's going to die?
Dean John is going to die because Brandon Wayne said, don't ask for more. You're going to regret it. And again, we spend a lot of time here talking. It's going to be both a time, which a lot of people thought the armorer, I thought maybe X-Wove because we had passed V-Sladai last week.
No deaths. I just mentioned that Filoni is very George Lucas. So don't surprise me that he didn't kill a main character. The main thing, I was surprised that we didn't get even if he's a secondary character, apart from off Gillian and that mouse droid that fell over the cliff.
No one really died from the fall. Let me address two things. That thing you mentioned with Dave Filoni, I'm a firm believer that Star Wars, no matter what, always has to end on a positive note. Even Andrew, I was a little bit nervous where Tony Gilroy was going to be, was seeing how the show was progressing.
And I love that finale because again, it was just like this outburst of energy and excitement and even at the end, it's this hope that Andrew finally commits to something. So again, I'm not surprised that it ended on a happy note. Again, that doesn't mean that you can't kill anyone. I think for example, where's Skywalker Ben Solovai, who was heartbroken, please don't attack me.
But no, but I think that we still ends on a positive note. So even if I expect, which is the tower one, it still ends on a positive note. So again, I have no issues with that. Regarding the tweets from, again, it was Red and Rain, right?
They always say a movie is written three times when you write it when you record it and when you edit it. It's very possible that they recorded scenes that did not play out as they had in originally planned. So maybe they had a vision of what the episode was that isn't what it ended up like coming out. So many of these actors don't see the episodes until they come out with us.
So it happens. Yeah, I don't think it has Matt Smith and Rysus. I thought we weren't going to talk about Rysus Skywalker. I want to say again, I love the Rysus Skywalker.
I really enjoyed it. I'm excited almost every episode. I don't know how movies are made with TV shows. I'm not in the writers' rooms or whatever.
I was thinking that if there's a big death or a big reveal in the finale and they cut it out, that the actor in Marvel might have an idea that they might tell, hey, this thing that we shot, everybody's not going to have. But again, they weren't going to cause that. But everyone thought this is called the Mandalorian. It's not the Mandover's movie.
It's the Philoniverse. Stop saying that they're not going to have the show. They got a tweet like that. When I tweeted it out, Dinjarr, the most popular characters at this moment, they're not going to kill him.
One of the tweets that I got is the Mandover's movie. They're calling it the Philoniverse. You're calling it the Philoniverse. No one is calling it the Philoniverse.
Shut up. I think Kevin Cally said something like the Mandalorian storytelling. Yeah, it's the story. And if anything, it's the Farrowverse because Farrow is the showrunner of the magazine.
Not the episode. By the way. When things are great or bad, it's Philonys fault. He was the era parent that when Andrew came out, we'll get about Philonys and now we're back on Philonys.
So we mentioned a little bit at the beginning, but no big cameo. I'm a bit surprised that we didn't get one. I was expecting Luke. Soka was a very slim possibility.
Maybe Sabine, maybe I was pretty sure or not pretty sure like 50-50 on both of it. But I'm surprised I know one else, but they didn't call someone to help. I was 100% sure Thron was going to show up. Yeah.
As a hologram or maybe we actually saw him. I was very surprised that that did not happen. And again, that's goes to my point. I think it wasn't a mistake that they announced it, but the timing of celebration and showing the images and everything, I think led to people's expectations.
And I tweeted this out and I will probably go back to it again. But the Ahsoka trailer isn't Ahsoka trailer, not a Mandalorian season finale trailer. So they, because I've also seen people like, and again, I think we can address this later, but the entire season I read that this show is very unfocused. It's not focused on the main story and Dinjaran and Grogo.
This finale is very much focused on Dinjaran and Grogo. Oh, they ignored the bigger story. I was like, what the? Do you want?
It doesn't matter. And we mentioned it last week, let's talk about it. We always have to find, by we, I mean, the overall star was found and needs to find something to cling on to complain. Because for weeks it's been saying this show, it's unstructured, like you said.
They don't know where they're going. And we mentioned last week, like everything is coming to play. All the chorus and subplas are coming to play the dark saber and rejoining the covert. All is coming to play now to the finale.
And when it finally hits and it's 90% Dinjaran and Grogo, oh, all this stuff that they've been setting up, where is it? Well, you hated that stuff. It still played out. It just didn't play on the way you wanted it to play.
I was going to say something but I forgot to go ahead. I was going to leave this for later, but since we're kind of talking about it, what's the finale rush? I don't mean that it was 40 minutes long because I think it played out great. But there were some things that kind of, like you said, could have gone a little bit longer.
Like, Dr. Persian, we don't know where he is. This is mine, Sri Ramblex. What happened?
The dog saber got destroyed. It wasn't mentioned anymore later. They retook Mandalore. They relied on the force.
Okay, that's it. So some things that might have maybe been extended to kind of be more lower. Didn't really come into play. But you think they rush it or is it okay because we got to finish up with the Nigerian storyline?
So, okay. So going back to what I was saying, I think that I think this season is very focused. And again, I think it pays off everything. It sets up.
Is it bumpy? Does it like stumble a little bit with setting those things up? I think it does. So I may get that complaint with the rushing thing that, for example, the whole Dr.
Pershing thing, like, you'll be fine. Maybe something like that. Those things are a little bit weird. I think that's an execution issue, not a set up and payoff issue.
Sure. So because I never thought that Dr. Pershing was going to have this massive moment. Like, oh, he was my clone army.
That's not where he is. So again, I don't think it was necessarily rushed. I think it was a bit sloppy, perhaps. And the whole retaking of Mandalore, I can see people saying it was rushed.
It was two episodes. Maybe three would have been cool. I don't know. But again, I kind of think that if in next season we have Boca-Tamb being like, hey, there's only periods we have to take out around here.
People will be like, they solved that last season. So again, sure, whatever. I always expected the unification of Mandalore to be like this big massive event. And this was like maybe a condensed version of that.
But again, in here, my Star Wars having fun brain, it was so freaking cool. Like that shot up Boca-Tamb with the Dark Saber, the Legion of Mandalorians behind. The armor with her tools, like that was so freaking cool. And then the ship crashing.
And I will get to that. But I love the fight with Gideon. I love that fight. I love what it means.
I love how it was played out. I wouldn't take it away. I'm fine with what we got. Someone get the armor of last season.
She can't just keep going with her cooking tools. She's getting better and she's getting a little bit more progressive. But she still likes her ancient tools. Yeah.
I didn't know she knew how to fly a ship. She's finally gone. I didn't know she had a jetpack. She's jumping out of outer space and just bashing people.
Which is great to see. Like you said, these episodes, I love them Mandalorian. I understand for a lot of people, Star Wars has all these meetings that they connect with. Which I do in some instances.
So that with the force, if this was a force, every show, maybe I'm more critical. But at the end, you're here to have fun, right? So you just sit back and enjoy 40 minutes of Star Wars television. And in that sense, you can say that we didn't get it.
I understand people who wanted to create this whole bigger thing behind Star Wars because there is that connection where you start breaking it down by layers. But it's never, at least for myself, it's never been apart from Andor. It's never really been upfront. You've got to pitch the layers little by little.
It's always about hope, like I mentioned, trying to have that happy end. And I said, I love the high republic, but it needs to end up in a hopeful note. And we got that with this episode that if we start going into the cult thing that we mentioned before, this was came from defense. All those deeper meanings, it's going to be difficult to end up in a happy note, hopeful note that the general fan will be excited for.
So I did enjoy that aspect of it. I'll push back a little bit with the advert. I think that you could still go with some of those scenes and still in the opposite of note. But I will also push back on, I think those big things are there.
I just think they're not what people wanted them to be. And I don't think the message of the story is called good. Like many people are putting out. And for me, that's like saying the message of last Jedi is the story that passed, which definitely isn't.
So, yeah, and I think everything is on this way with that fight at the end. Like how I think the message of this entire season, and this is why I think it's very focused and I think it's been the overarching story. Mandeler is stronger together. Well, because I literally looked at the camera and says that.
And again, how did they defeat Gideon together? How did they defeat the Prince William guards together? How did they take back Mandeler together? So again, that's the way I see it.
I think again, both of them looked at the camera and says. Proteren guards, we said here, they're not going back to the movies. They're in the movie. No, they're always in the corner with a little smoke machine.
Behind me. Turn it on. We gotta make our cool entrance. I can't remember who tweeted this out.
I can't even comment on it. But they said, are they always waiting for the musical to come out? The first time that I saw it, it looked very awkward. It's like, even you were hiding there.
The second time it was a little bit more natural. But the first time it's like. It's very stupid. It's very, because there's a lot of smoke.
I was like, where's that smoke going from? But I bet that was terrifying. The minute they showed up, I was like, are they going to kill Dain? And then when they go against Grogu, they go straight to slamming him and destroying him.
And again, they were not going to kill Grogu. But I was still like, what are you doing, Rick? When they showed up, first time I'm like, oh crap, I'm here. I'm saying that I saw Ganyu going to meet against the proteren guards in the movie.
It's just going to be great. It's another last Jedi. Now they showed up 20 minutes later. But it also shows how good of a fighter Dainjarn is.
It wasn't easy. He needed help from Grogu and from Boca Tan. It wasn't that. Yeah.
I love how he John Wicks his way to the buff game. No weapons. It's slowly like, oh, that's awesome. That scene which leads to this one.
Sorry. There we go. This one. He's basically our five next door next last door.
Yeah. That scene was awesome. Just going one by one. Which I don't understand.
The two of them are standing there, the troopers standing there against the wall. Oh, someone opened it door. I got a move. I don't think that doesn't make a lot of sense but it's cool television.
I mean, but I think that once the first, the fights starts, you see the other ones like waiting for the doors to open. Yeah, just the first. It's why you're standing there, just waiting for the clock to run out so you can go back home. Maybe they just got paid to be there.
Just down there. Yeah. That's what I always get. They're a little tool for food like I know they're just connected.
So two things. No helmet removal. One thing I was sure was going to happen so surprised. I was disappointed with that a little bit.
But then I'm just going to give, which we haven't mentioned too much. You mentioned that a couple of time this episode, Brandon Wayne and Latif Crowder, the people behind the arm were basically. The actual men of the audience. Yeah.
This season, you saw a lot of the engineering action fighting, not just shooting blaster, but hand to hand combat with the dart saver with freaking club and a shield that we saw this episode. Those guys are great. Great actors, great, stumperformers, steady self, or that credit they're getting this season. Yeah, no, I think they're finally, not, not fine.
I think for the last season, they've been getting that love. I think ever since people like, really, it was not really there. And the people like them started looking at it and who's playing this character. And again, the last two celebrations, they've come out to stage and they've been part of the panel, which I really appreciate.
So, all right. So Moff Gideon was his plan. He wanted to get Grogo in season two. I know information.
Yeah. I mean, season one, we knew they wanted Grogo within who then we knew in season two that he wanted him. It's cloning. Why are they going to do another Yoda?
Is this to build Palpatine? Snow? What's going on? I just want to have four sensitive clones of myself.
I just want to surprise him with this plan. He has nothing to do with snow. He can't totally show a cancel. Clone is your thing.
You're the one obsessed with clone. And I'm doing my own thing. I'm cloning myself over here. Because he's a dark fighter and he's a liar.
I was not surprised by this at all. I mentioned this on my last week's review and on my podcast that I thought that this might be where this was going. And again, this for me is like, I love it when we see the dark side on non-forest users. And for me, it was like the embodiment of the dark side.
Last season, I was like, oh, we figured out that the problem with sword troopers was a human element. So we removed it. And here's getting like the problem with the dark troopers is that they weren't me. And now I'm going to make an army of myself because it's all about me.
He's a great villain. I understand why he's a pretty one of my... Maybe they didn't like the ending of his. But since season one, he was pretty terrifying.
Just standing there, doing dinghering, naming him and all this stuff. Great. This is a D web. Yeah, the none of a thousand tears.
The Mandalorian, the engineering, oh crap, he has a name. And season two again, just torturing Grogu and everything that he was doing. And now coming to this point, I've been trying to be the perfect person. Now I got the dark two-paramos where I want the force.
That's what I want. And you kill my clones. You... As though they weren't alive and you kill them.
But Odi, if I don't know if you noticed, but someone sent me on Twitter, a tweet from someone that said, in season one and two, Mofgiedon had a mustache. Season three, the one that's talking about the clones and the clones don't have mustaches. Is that confirmation that the Mofgiedon that was killed was a clone? Because he didn't have a mustache.
And we've reached that point in Star Wars fandom when Henry Ka was going to show up with some green tape on his upper lip so they can remove the mustache. Why did you send this to me? I'm angry now. I should have...
I jumped the gun. I just thought I should have walked to the bathroom and gotten a razor in this way. What a razor is. But it would take too much.
I'm going to say this. I don't know if that big a beard, but we have something... Some people might consider it a beard. Next time I'm here, I won't have this.
And if you want to consider me a clone, maybe Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, O I was hoping and shifted that and we did get that. Like that's not what decision was about. And I think that as the show progresses and we learned more about Grogo, he's gonna be a little bit more useful. And I love, again, I love how he was used in this episode.
And I may be getting ahead of your notes, but he doesn't solve the problem. He just helps out. And I was expecting him to just start choking the pritoying guards and ripping them apart. And that's not what happens.
And I love that it didn't happen because he was, again, probably without him, they would have all died. But it was him and them together beating them. That's a shot where Grogo lifts him and then puts the gun under the helmet and shoots them. Like, oh, it's so cool.
Yeah, I mean, we got a little rebels, Kain and Tribute at the end. They were in the fire ball. Yeah. But I'll give you that.
We didn't get, which was my big worry. And obviously he's on our far-wing to carry Grogo around. Oh, they're gonna, to kill nothing again. And we didn't get that.
Like you said, Grogo was there. And if we needed him to do very weird looking flips, we'll do it, because it's fun. But he's not... What?
The puppet being acrobatic is probably one of the silliest things the show does. And I love it. It looks horrible. It feels awkward, but I love it.
I really don't care. I can do without it. I think it's the clothes. Just that clothes is not bendable.
He really needs to give him something else. But I can, you know, I have the life size figure. Yeah. It's literally the same.
I toy it. It's having no mobility. The two episodes I go with Lisa and Jack Black, where he jumps, his arm man still looks different. So anyway.
So here he's, I need 12 gets, cutting two pieces. He's using the force, which I thought, she's gonna use the force to save the injury. Which he does, but not to the extent that I thought. This is gonna be that two years of training with Blue Skywalker are gonna come into play.
It didn't, he did, they were, he needed to them. But he just jumping around those rafters, just kind of laughing like a kid would do all the freaking pre-touring guards and wagging away. Stressful, but entertaining. And then we get a big fight with him and Dinjong just going crazy, trying to get this pre-touring guard skilled, which I just went junk week and all of them.
But so let's just go to the end. Actually before we get to the end, oh, don't worry about it. We'll skip that part. So let's get to the end.
I'm gonna choke it on, by the way. So let's get to both at the end now. So, because I had something, so after both at the end and leaves with the other Mandalorians and the ones that they found in Mandalorian, we say, hey, we have a place that we can hang out while we can free group. They find this place, this not underground cave or they're really wanting to underground, but that they created this or grown a garden there.
And she's very happy. Another point that shows that Mandalorian is not petrified, it's not destroyed, you can reveal and all that. But then again, they just move away from that pretty quickly. But just general thoughts on, I don't know what you have down there.
Oh, Boca. Boca times hold all through these episodes. She's running away, trying to turn the Mandalorians and then hey, we gotta do this, this, this, and that, get a run down here. We can't beat him on the air.
We gotta beat him on the ground. And then just like you mentioned earlier, perfect shot, take out the dog saver, which is not too safe at the beginning, because you're just gonna work someone. But then all the other troopers come out and it's Mandalorian against those weird stone troopers just going all out, which just, I remember seeing this in Rebels when the Mandalorians were there with Ezra in the jetpacks fighting stone troopers in jetpacks, which is a great visual animation. It was great again to see it yesterday in live action.
And again, with, she finally confronts Mo, Mo, for getting it. I've been saying since the very beginning that the show basically is reconciling live action Star Wars and, and it was always, whenever we get those kind of like Rebels or Conward shots, I get very happy. So yeah, very excited about that. And, wait, wait, I love the whole grass thing and, you know, life finding a way to rest the park, quote, because, you know, the environmentalist and me, like, cool.
Yeah. Yeah. It was a great, a great scene. And again, I understand people complaining, I'm not complaining of people wondering why they didn't spend more time in what that means.
Cause it was a whole. Okay, we're here, let's take a breather. Okay, the, the informations are here, let's go. Like, what did we even bother coming up here?
That's set up for free for reasons maybe. And people being like, wait, why is it they're green and mandalor now? It's like, I don't even know what I was gonna say. But the big battle, sorry, all leads up to finally the big battle between Dinjara and Krogu, and then both at time comes and freaking just bomb rushes.
Like a bad idea. Mo of Guido is, or two per hour more. And then the big confrontation, just between the two of them, because I know understand Dinjara just wants to kill him, like he tells, go, hey, we can't just keep going back and forth. We gotta end this now because if not, it's just the same thing.
But then, Bo Katan shows up and he's like, okay, give me the Xavier, basically we've done this already. Okay, the other word is that. Again, she takes on him alone, but I do like the shift here, where she takes on him alone because she knows Krogu is in trouble and she's like, bro, bro. But I love like, there's kind of a shift here if you think of last season finale, where she's like, you leave Maf get into me.
And here, she wins by accepting help from Krogu. Again, that was about the dark saber at that point, but you know, going as people like to say, oh, they're reverting back, no one's reverting back. They're progressing in different ways that you wanted to. Okay, so, but again, the fight was cool.
Like he was angry, he really wanted him. Yeah, so what those swings and glad that you have that drupa or a basker alloy more because your head was coming off. She wasn't holding back, which I love. And again, love Kenny Sack of all the action, the emotions she puts behind it same as the Mandalorian.
There's different actresses and she's mentioned, there's different actresses that play that, but she's there just doing the work and it shows. But that fight was great because again, we're still debating about kind of, is she going to die? We don't know if she's gonna have to sacrifice herself when ex walks, says, oh, I'm bringing the sheep down, get out of there. They're not going out, they're still fighting.
They're just gonna have to hold him down and pin him over the sheep. So it's very not stressful, but keeps you on the edge of your toes, especially when the dark saber goes destroyed. He basically has an android armor, that dark trooper armor which just hits an extra strength and crushes the dark saber. At this point, okay, she's screwed, but like you said, when the lorians are better together, it's like C-SAR, A, together, strong.
I have that great battle there. I love those moves, I love it. And it's great, especially when they're used to just working alone at this whole season, again, for people, it doesn't make sense. I mean, connected the whole season has been of her accepting help from other Mandalorians, are not like her.
And it all comes out. She literally starts to season moping alone at her home. Yeah. Where's our droid?
For droid is dead over there. Oh, he wasn't caught. Oh, we're droid. I don't know if you can die in that episode.
Maybe he's around, he's only like, when's Lady Christ? Yeah, where's she's coming? I got the feast set up. She says she's gonna throw a feast.
And she's like, we're gonna rebuild my castle here. And she's like, I'm still waiting for you. That's the only thing that I said to him is, it didn't give me closure for that droid. It doesn't even have a name.
I keep hitting my mic. But yeah, it's a great arc for that character. And I think people defend that characters are people that love her from animation and did dog saber-wide nature to destroy it. Also, seeing people kind of really dissists it.
Where do you fall in the dog saber lore? With fans, two and a half seasons, basically the dog saber, like saber, like saber, it gets destroyed, which a lot of people said needed to happen. But the way that it happened, and at least for myself, the only kind of eh, it doesn't get mentioned again by the end of the episode. There's no mention of the dog saber and the history behind it, why they don't need it anymore, it wasn't brought up.
Hey, again, the story was about Grogo and Din. And yeah, she was a very important character. But in her terms, I think the dark saber kind of lost its meaning, as the season progressed. I think that as she joined, as she lost it, then she joined the show down the watch.
Then we have that moment when things like that, doesn't mean anything. Like we follow you because you're you. And, oh, at least I follow you because you're you. I think that for her, like, in that moment, losing the dark saber, it was like nothing.
Like at that moment, I think she was more worried about losing that fight than, oh, how am I gonna leave without this magic sword? So again, when the dark saber breaks, I literally gasped, but at the same time, I was like happy because the dark saber is a symbol of union, and all it does is divide. And even set the stage for a Sith Lord to come in and take power, like, what kind of symbolism is that? Like, and actually people very upset, how could you, you know, betray the decades of lore from the corner where it's like, last year I destroyed the skywalkers.
They were like, no, but it's our off with lightsabers after that. Like that lightsaber has been there from the very beginning. I mean, it's a rip in half. And I mean, people were mad at that point also.
What do you guys really know? I'm saying that I'm saying that I'm saying this to people who I know that love last year, I and are upset about this. Yeah, he said because we mentioned here very quickly, last week or the week before, but it's been constant on Twitter, no mention of Satin. Was Satin ruled without the dark saber, right?
Very different from Boca time, especially clung wise people that are not fast of Boca time, very very quick to bring that out, that she was a terrorist and all this stuff. But the way Boca time ends is very similar to Satin, that way she ruled in terms of, we gotta do this together. We don't need that weapon to bring Mandalorians together and rebuild Mandalorian. Like you said, we didn't need it.
Yes, get out of the way. And maybe for her, and maybe it's our own fault as fans, expecting that, like you said, this is a very big part in a lot of people's understanding. The Mandalorian culture, especially fans from the clung wise, that even worse than Boca time when this weapon is destroyed. You think again, it's maybe us as fans wanted to show to tell us what we want to hear, right?
Because even myself, they're not the biggest clung wise lower kind of person. I'm surprised that they didn't mention something about it being destroyed. But at the same time, understand that this show is not made, I'm just gonna say, it's not made for defense. You don't understand what I mean?
