@hectorisfunny why didn't you tell us about your surprise role in this ep. as Dr. Penn Pershing lol I loved this ep. I love #themandalorian theme by #ludwiggoransson When is hear it, I wanna run thru a wall #thisistheway
Everyone thinks Grogu was trying to say "This is the way" and maybe he was, but when they got attacked right after I thought maybe he sensed it coming and was trying to warn them
One thing i appreciate with the new Star wars stuff, is seeing the space ships flying around "in world" , hovering over water, around cliffs and valleys, seeing them among the clouds, and not just in space
I think this might have been our first look at Thrawn. Bo-Katan said that it seemed like a lot of ships sent after them for an Imperial Warlord, and Ahsoka was looking for Thrawn last season, which suggests that he's already been back but has been acting covertly for some reason.
All those Tie Interceptors, and "that's alot for an imperial warlord" made me go "oh dang, that means Thrawn"... can't wait for the rest of the season!
Just think of how that Mon Cal doctor is going to feel when he comes back to the patient that he just assured would NOT be mind-wiped and finds his brains leaking out his ears.
Saw you guys on the Fans React videos and just came on to look at reviews of the last episode and there you are, on your own channel. What I like is that you fill in the gaps for us and give reminders of back stories that we may have missed. So, subbed.👍👍😉
Wild that Hector was reacting to himself acting in the show! Great job Hector lmao. But for real - I get people who were like 'I needed more Mandalorian in this episode.' But for me, I loved to see just how lazy & arrogant & foolish the New Republic was (We're out here giving amnesty to fascists - yep, that will work) Great episode.
I think the music you laughed at in Monument Plaza was a stylized orchestration of the Rebellion theme that was introduced in Ep.7. We first heard it when Rebellion X-Wings arrived at Maz Kanata’s palace being played by a full orchestra. We hear it being played in Monument Plaze by a selection of instruments that would typically comprise a carnival band. Orchestration involves selecting which instrument is to play which line in the sheet music. Arrangement involves writing the details of the individual musical lines for each of the instruments. Writing a song involves creating the overall basic themes of a musical piece. Orchestrating and arranging involves getting down into the weeds and working out the final details.
Great reaction as always. Loved the episode and I agree - in time we’ll know why. And can I just say that Katie’s eyes as she fried his brain and munched on the biscuit was 🤯😱😳. Such good acting. I liked how Din called Bo-Katan just Bo. Absolutely awesome dogfighting! This is getting super interesting, Boyz! I agree - it’s tying in and not a coincidence. The musical cues this episode were on point as well.
I’m totally with you, I mean I know it’s not the case….but honestly that would be the most epic of epic reveals….with a sudden switch to the Kiwi accent.
I feel like Bo is going to take a Tarre Viszla approach, learning from both modern Mandalorian culture and the Children of the Watch and use that knowledge to better unify all mandalorians to take the planet back, especially since she's been the only mandalorian actively around for her people since Death Watch.
@@Haegemon well yes and no. taking it back as in taking back her control and returning it to glory. It seems like Bo might have left the mythosaur so that she can prove herself and be "the" mandalore in front of the gang, especially since she still doesnt have the dark saber.
The only claim bigger to the throne of mandalore than the dark saber is definitely figuring out a way to ride a mythosaur. Bo Katan I think is trying to figure out a way to claim the mythosaur before anyone knows about it too finally solidify her claim to the throne.
I think we're going to see Favreou & Filoni twist a tale over the next few years that leads us to episode 7 in a way that changes all our minds about the sequel trilogy. If they can pull it off, it will blow my mind 🤯
Or there is the theory that they’ll throw a different Filoni twist into the mix and everything we’re seeing doesn’t lead to episode 7, those films occurred in the timeline before Ezra saved Ahsoka.
I want to know Bo-Katan's intentions. She does seem somewhat in admiration and reverence for Din and the children of the watch (for taking the creed seriously) and yet, I feel as if she's possibly using that to her advantage. Why wouldn't she mention the Mythosaur?
@@dr.rockso2703 In terms of the Mythosaur, I’m mainly frustrated that she didn’t tell Din. He would have 100% believed her. What you say is kinda true for the rest of the watch members but Din and Bo already proved to be honest about bathing in the waters. So if she mentioned it perhaps they would’ve taken her srsly. Especially becoz their creed specifically are deep believers of those so called myths and tales.
@@Wico90YT This is what I mean when I say I wish to know/see her intentions come to fruition. Part of me knows that she wants to rule but I feel like she has a genuine respect for Din. A respect that she wouldn't simply disregard. Idk but I guess we'll see.
Did anyone else notice that not only was the music, during the scene when Pershing was getting ready to go out for the mobile lab with Cane, was very similar to the Opera scene between Anakin and Palpatine in Revenge of Sith, but also, the building where Pershing was giving his "lecture" at the beginning was the same Opera where Anakin and Palpatine had their conversation. Feels very intentional.
The visual of both Crosshair and Pershing being held in medical locations and experimented on seemed like a thematic tie in to me, whether intentional or not. The is a lot of room for details to be sprinkled throughout the different shows. More fun for rewatch hunting! 😁
Amazing episode! Loved to see those Episode VI production paintings of Coruscant by Ralph McQuarrie come to life, those scenes of the plaza were straight out of them, and the very Andor-esque level of tension kept me hooked.
I love that you guys are speculating that they are working from Palpatines orders… cuz that’s the origin and meaning behind the FIRST ORDER. They are Palpatines ultimate contingency.
I’m pretty sure they have been throwing Admiral Thrawn hints throughout this Season. None bigger than Thrawn’s theme when the Doctor tell the double agent he wants to get the mobile lab.
Dang, they messed Pershing up, He got it, she grabbed it, and probably passed it onto the Empire, and the police helped her, they trusted her just like he did. The people got soft, and made mistakes, and the First Order will arise stronger
She didn’t pass it to anyone other than the New Republic Security forces she was working with on the sting operation, it was evidence. The whole “now they know what he needed”…it was some basic mobile lab equipment. There is actually a chance that she was legit, but that she thinks that the New Republic is being too soft. It took all of like two days and box of biscuits to get Pershing to flip, that boy needed to be put down.
So I had to go back to the first season to look up if Jon Favreau is credited as Paz Vizsla in s1, even back then the character was credited to Tait Fletcher who is the man under the armor, while Jon does the voice uncredited apparently. He also voiced Pre Vizsla, leader of Death Watch in Clone Wars, so given this cult, the children of the watch is an offshoot of that, I wonder if Paz will play a larger part in the resurrection of Mandalorian society?
I think Thrawns chronological first appearance will be in Bad Batch where he is in charge of the facility with Dr Hemlock, the Commandos and the top secret projects. With the "Believer", captured Crosshair, captured Zillo Beast and the kaminionans they will do some dystopian secret cloning projects -potentially leading to death or dark troopers. its known that Thrawn wasnt a friend of super-weapons and prefered effective quality equipment en masse like with his TIE-program which wasnt funded because of the death star. this secret research site will then tie into the imperial remnant cell of the mandalorian S1 which was run by Gideon - which worked for Thrawn who worked for Sidious. Overall i expect that Filoni and Favreau go for the 'Heir of the Empire' storyline because they know its quality and the fans love it.
While Omid Abtahi, did an amazing job is his portrayal of Pershing, make him a character you want to empathize with. The dude was a eugenicist, even in his TED talk he slipped straight from I wanted to clone organs to here’s how we make genetically superior beings, as if it was the obvious next step. Through out the series we have seen how willing he is to side with anyone that lets him keep working, in this episode it took two days and a box of biscuits to get him to flip. If Kane did just fry his brains, she did the galaxy a favour, that boy was running around full of bad ideas coated in supposedly good intentions.
Saw another reaction where they joked about him being mindwiped a bunch of times and they keep redoing the scenario. Just noticed that they all keep saying stuff like they’ve been there before. Then he kept messing with his ear while thinking like he was trying to remember. I think he’s in a type of Groundhog Day.
Droid juggling: It's impressive because it is actually an Ewok on stilts, dressed as a droid. 😉 "Don't talk to me about traps!" - Thank you Hector, my face hurts from laughing so much. 😁😂🤣
This episode makes me especially sad that Rangers of the New Republic was cancelled. I feel like the Dr. Pershing content would’ve been a whole storyline there-in fact, I wonder if it was integrated in The Mandalorian *because* RotNR was scrapped. 🤔😭
Waiting for Empire MRE Yellow (and Red?) travel biscuits and those stacked drinks to be available at Galaxy's Edge this next year. The starfighter battle was AMAZING, the mid plot was akin to Andor feels, and the "Trap" scene was a nice homage to the Admiral.
That Tie Interceptor scene was awesome,I feel really bad for Pershing :( Seems like New Republic is not so different from Empire :( I hope the Mandalorians will go back to rebuild Mandalore :)
I have a theory that after all the series get going and collide in an Endgame situation they will end up post sequels. Keeping all the popular characters post Sequels without having to age or stuff.
As always great reaction and comments. It seems that is the guy who is going to fully develop the cloning tech used to cloned Snoke (i.e., Palpatine's avatar).
I was late watching, guys. I had to wait until I could watch together with the hubby. I love listening to you guys throughout, but afterwards, always an amazing discussion. I loved the shift this episode, despite the lack of Mando, Grogu and Bo. I enjoyed Dr. Pershing. 🤞
Great EP with 'The Convert' being Bo, the scientist, and the communicator. Seems the Communicator got what was needed to clone or Remake Palpatine while moving up in the New Republic. She wins in both Empires. Yet non of them are TRULY converted in their Beliefs.. GENIUS. We're going to see how Palpatine was reborn. & Can't be surprised New Republic hired the Empire officer's. Even today, many popular USA brands are ex-Nazi. BMW, Boss, Balenciaga, and that's just the B's
I think Kane was just cutting loose ends. Now that Pershing is in new Republic custody Gideon doesn’t want him squealing to them about the stuff he was doing for him.
This episode was sooo powerful. I loved it the most of any SW show I've seen yet outside Kenobi 106. It did so many great things at once, and said so much about humanity without ever having to lecture about it like Star Trek does. They showed rather than told and did it SO well.
Theory: Thrawn is hiding somewhere near the Mandalorian systems (hence the numerous fighters), and is working actively to wipe out the Republic's access to cloning tech. Why? The Grand Admiral needs that tech to rebuild the Imperial army.
I’m bummed people aren’t liking this episode. I thought it was very interesting and I’m intrigued how this episode will tie into the overall story. Calling it now, this will be the best season of Mando thus far!
Timeline wise. Season one of Mando was 5 or 6 years after ROTJ. The lead up to handing over to Luke was a year… 🤔 And Favreau said Grogu was with Luke for about two years so really A Force Awakens is around 21 years away now. Maybe just 20 years as of Season 3 beginning if we think of it.
I think she’s following order from Gideon or Thrawn…. I also think the mandalorian going to have Sabine Wren and Asoka are going to show up at some point
I don't think she's working for Palps. More likely Thrawn. Which I think we're getting allusions to with the questions about where all those TIEs came from.

John Favreau still voices Paz Vizla though he is uncredited
Hector your really good as the Doctor
Everyone thinks Grogu was trying to say "This is the way" and maybe he was, but when they got attacked right after I thought maybe he sensed it coming and was trying to warn them
I think this is supported by grogu opening his dome as soon as the last tie interceptor in the immediate vicinity was destroyed.
I just wanted to swing by and say that Hector is doing an excellent job as Dr. Pershing.
Haha 😅
I had the exact same thought when I watched the episode! 😄
😂😂😂 All I could see was Hector when he was on screen
Same here 😂
@@Tizjiz omg I didn’t notice and now I can’t unseen it 🤣🤣🤣
It's so great to see Hector cast in Mando lol. No seriously, that should be your cosplay/Halloween costume.
Yo for a moment i thought it was him
I was thinking the exact same thing watching this episode. The glasses make the outfit 😆
I had to Google it to be sure!
even sounds like him
Yoooo!😂 Same thing I said😂😂😂
One thing i appreciate with the new Star wars stuff, is seeing the space ships flying around "in world" , hovering over water, around cliffs and valleys, seeing them among the clouds, and not just in space
This episode is WAY more Andor than it is Mandalorian. And I like it.
mANDORlorian
Agreed.
“The ANDOR-Lorian.”
Except 'Andor' had much better writing ;)
Bo: I saw the Mythosaur down there
Armorer: You must be Mythaken
Is Mike Tyson in this episode? 😆
I think this might have been our first look at Thrawn. Bo-Katan said that it seemed like a lot of ships sent after them for an Imperial Warlord, and Ahsoka was looking for Thrawn last season, which suggests that he's already been back but has been acting covertly for some reason.
My thoughts exactly.
Not to mention the purgils first episode and the fact that bombing someone’s ancestral home is 100% something he’d do
@@IrrelevantPerson
After he collected priceless artifacts for his art collection.
All those Tie Interceptors, and "that's alot for an imperial warlord" made me go "oh dang, that means Thrawn"... can't wait for the rest of the season!
I’m surprised no one mentioned how much Hector looks like the Doctor
Waiting for that lmao
Your comment, 2 hrs ago, other comment already pointing this out above yours, 3 hrs ago.
If Hector doesn't dress up like Pershing for Halloween imma be pished
All he need is round glasses.
Just think of how that Mon Cal doctor is going to feel when he comes back to the patient that he just assured would NOT be mind-wiped and finds his brains leaking out his ears.
"It's a trap!"
@@joshjames582 The real trap was the minds we flayed along the way.
The carnival version of the Resistance theme was something I didn’t know I needed
I thought it was just me.
Fair enough when I heard it I knew I didn’t need it 😂😭
18:22 That impression was SPOT ON! Literally thought it was an actual dialogue for sec🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:20 Hector's right with this one. The music is familiar. The esplanade music is actually the March of the Resistance from The Force Awakens.
Saw you guys on the Fans React videos and just came on to look at reviews of the last episode and there you are, on your own channel. What I like is that you fill in the gaps for us and give reminders of back stories that we may have missed. So, subbed.👍👍😉
Awesome! Thank you!
Din totally did a Batwing maneuver when he got on his ship.

I really, really like the Omega theory...
Also fascinated by the specific reference to splicing together the DNA from TWO donors.
I’m totally with you, I mean I know it’s not the case….but honestly that would be the most epic of epic reveals….with a sudden switch to the Kiwi accent.
Everybody is assuming she wiped Pershing out. I'm betting she just wanted him to think the NR tortured him so Gideon can recruit him back.
The Sith music sounded like the music in the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis scene in Revenge.
I feel like Bo is going to take a Tarre Viszla approach, learning from both modern Mandalorian culture and the Children of the Watch and use that knowledge to better unify all mandalorians to take the planet back, especially since she's been the only mandalorian actively around for her people since Death Watch.
The planet do not needs to be taken, it's abandoned.
@@Haegemon well yes and no. taking it back as in taking back her control and returning it to glory. It seems like Bo might have left the mythosaur so that she can prove herself and be "the" mandalore in front of the gang, especially since she still doesnt have the dark saber.
100% my greatest wish for this show is to end with bokatan ruling mandalore with din as her consort/weilder of the dark saber.
Grogu was trying to say "I have a bad feeling about this"
"mattress section of the junk yard" ....LOL 😄 You guys are the best!
The only claim bigger to the throne of mandalore than the dark saber is definitely figuring out a way to ride a mythosaur. Bo Katan I think is trying to figure out a way to claim the mythosaur before anyone knows about it too finally solidify her claim to the throne.
Elia is definitely an Imperial Mole working for Gideon.

@@richardbrown3055 nah
So cool seeing the N-1 against the TIE Interceptors. We haven't gotten to see that match-up yet and it's so sick to finally see it in live action.
I want to know Bo-Katan's intentions. She does seem somewhat in admiration and reverence for Din and the children of the watch (for taking the creed seriously) and yet, I feel as if she's possibly using that to her advantage. Why wouldn't she mention the Mythosaur?
I mean who would believe her since shes the only one to have seen it.

I really like Bo-Katan’s depiction in this show. I hope she’s now a regular throughout the season rather than just sticking around for a few episodes.
Am I the only one who noticed she has star billing in the credits? Probably safe to say it means she's been promoted to co-lead of the series.
@@lombax316 I'm usually too busy looking at the concept artwork that shows during the end credits to notice the actual credits 😁
The funding they freed up from using lower budget directors and sacking Gina Carano means Bo could be allocated a lead role
So... the Empire had girl scouts working for them the whole time? Baking cookies for the fleet? Who knew? lol
I knew I never trust those little evil extortionist!
As addictive as the cookies are we should of known they were shady.
"That's a lot of ships for an Imperial Warlord." But not for Grand Admiral Thrawn!
Grogu trying to say “This is the way” was the best thing in this episode:)
Amazing episode! Loved to see those Episode VI production paintings of Coruscant by Ralph McQuarrie come to life, those scenes of the plaza were straight out of them, and the very Andor-esque level of tension kept me hooked.
I love that you guys are speculating that they are working from Palpatines orders… cuz that’s the origin and meaning behind the FIRST ORDER. They are Palpatines ultimate contingency.
Hector, why didn’t I hear Coruscant forever and goodbye?! 😂 Love this show and your reaction!
Guys, Grand Admiral Thrawn is the phantom menace, pun intended. Gideon is done. Ella Kane is working for Grand Admiral Thrawn.
This season is so damn good. I love eps like this, they always have juicy nuggets that later will have huge implications.
I realised halfway through the episode that Elia and Jentorra (buff rebel lady) from Quantumania are portrayed by the same actress-Katy O'Brian.
I think this episode was perfect to add a little cleansing pallet taste for future episodes and more serious events that will happen.
The Doctor looks and sounds exactly like Hector hahah they are twins!
I’m pretty sure they have been throwing Admiral Thrawn hints throughout this Season. None bigger than Thrawn’s theme when the Doctor tell the double agent he wants to get the mobile lab.
I have a feeling those Tie Interceptors at the beginning was hinting Thrawn.
Dang, they messed Pershing up, He got it, she grabbed it, and probably passed it onto the Empire, and the police helped her, they trusted her just like he did. The people got soft, and made mistakes, and the First Order will arise stronger
This actually had nothing to do with the first order.
@@CCFONESOL Not right now, but it might eventually benefit them.
She didn’t pass it to anyone other than the New Republic Security forces she was working with on the sting operation, it was evidence. The whole “now they know what he needed”…it was some basic mobile lab equipment. There is actually a chance that she was legit, but that she thinks that the New Republic is being too soft. It took all of like two days and box of biscuits to get Pershing to flip, that boy needed to be put down.
Augustin is my brother from another mother; I can always count on him to mirror exactly what I'm thinking 😂
I really liked this episode. Honestly I think this was my favorite. Wish all episodes were 1 hour.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se...
😂
So I had to go back to the first season to look up if Jon Favreau is credited as Paz Vizsla in s1, even back then the character was credited to Tait Fletcher who is the man under the armor, while Jon does the voice uncredited apparently. He also voiced Pre Vizsla, leader of Death Watch in Clone Wars, so given this cult, the children of the watch is an offshoot of that, I wonder if Paz will play a larger part in the resurrection of Mandalorian society?
Looks like we'll be getting another Clan Vizsla/Clan Kryze fight.
I think Thrawns chronological first appearance will be in Bad Batch where he is in charge of the facility with Dr Hemlock, the Commandos and the top secret projects. With the "Believer", captured Crosshair, captured Zillo Beast and the kaminionans they will do some dystopian secret cloning projects -potentially leading to death or dark troopers. its known that Thrawn wasnt a friend of super-weapons and prefered effective quality equipment en masse like with his TIE-program which wasnt funded because of the death star. this secret research site will then tie into the imperial remnant cell of the mandalorian S1 which was run by Gideon - which worked for Thrawn who worked for Sidious.

Then he kept messing with his ear while thinking like he was trying to remember. I think he’s in a type of Groundhog Day.
His ear was shot through by Cara Dune in season 2. It's a painful reminder of things.
Droid juggling: It's impressive because it is actually an Ewok on stilts, dressed as a droid. 😉
"Don't talk to me about traps!" - Thank you Hector, my face hurts from laughing so much. 😁😂🤣
This episode makes me especially sad that Rangers of the New Republic was cancelled. I feel like the Dr. Pershing content would’ve been a whole storyline there-in fact, I wonder if it was integrated in The Mandalorian *because* RotNR was scrapped. 🤔😭
All the mandos going from “she doesn’t even go here” to “you can eat at the fire cuz you’re kool” is fricken precious
"You can't use that word- trap! Only we can use that word!"
Waiting for Empire MRE Yellow (and Red?) travel biscuits and those stacked drinks to be available at Galaxy's Edge this next year.
The starfighter battle was AMAZING, the mid plot was akin to Andor feels, and the "Trap" scene was a nice homage to the Admiral.
When i first saw the episode i thought i heard Grogu say This is the way when he made those weird noises
That Tie Interceptor scene was awesome,I feel really bad for Pershing :( Seems like New Republic is not so different from Empire :( I hope the Mandalorians will go back to rebuild Mandalore :)
'That is a lot of fighters for a warlord'.
Not for a Grand Admiral. The question is, where IS Thrawn? Do we want to know?
That Imperial scientist kind of resembles Hector.
I felt seen by Adam with the damn flashlights lol
I have a theory that after all the series get going and collide in an Endgame situation they will end up post sequels. Keeping all the popular characters post Sequels without having to age or stuff.
That man knew too much!
As always great reaction and comments. It seems that is the guy who is going to fully develop the cloning tech used to cloned Snoke (i.e., Palpatine's avatar).
The pressures of the Imps on Calavalla tells me Tatoine and Navaro gotta be feeling it too
Hector saying "This guy is full of caca.."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got the reference because of David Rocco
Dr Pershin looks like Hector & Charlie Cox had a baby 😂
I was late watching, guys. I had to wait until I could watch together with the hubby. I love listening to you guys throughout, but afterwards, always an amazing discussion. I loved the shift this episode, despite the lack of Mando, Grogu and Bo. I enjoyed Dr. Pershing. 🤞
I feel so bad for Dr Pen Pusher, he really has the worst luck.
Shooting dogfight sequences on the Stagecraft volume must be like a theme park ride.
1:15 Grogu does not know that Bo saw a mythosaur.
I just love how Hector think same things I do. I thought she could be Omega as well.
Hector def hit the nail on the head about Pershing's ultimate demise. Someone does not want cloning tech/knowledge out there.
Great EP with 'The Convert' being Bo, the scientist, and the communicator.
Seems the Communicator got what was needed to clone or Remake Palpatine while moving up in the New Republic. She wins in both Empires. Yet non of them are TRULY converted in their Beliefs..
GENIUS.
We're going to see how Palpatine was reborn.
&
Can't be surprised New Republic hired the Empire officer's. Even today, many popular USA brands are ex-Nazi. BMW, Boss, Balenciaga, and that's just the B's
I think Kane was just cutting loose ends. Now that Pershing is in new Republic custody Gideon doesn’t want him squealing to them about the stuff he was doing for him.
This episode was sooo powerful. I loved it the most of any SW show I've seen yet outside Kenobi 106. It did so many great things at once, and said so much about humanity without ever having to lecture about it like Star Trek does. They showed rather than told and did it SO well.

Timeline wise.
Season one of Mando was 5 or 6 years after ROTJ.
The lead up to handing over to Luke was a year… 🤔
And Favreau said Grogu was with Luke for about two years so really A Force Awakens is around 21 years away now. Maybe just 20 years as of Season 3 beginning if we think of it.
How does no one realize that the shot where din flies straight up with the N1 and then falls straight down is a homage to Batman 89? It's identical
As a native from Brazil, a country that was a military dictorship in its recent history, I can say that amnesty laws will turn against democracy.
I think those Ties were Thrawn entering the chat. Time to get things set up for the Ahsoka series.
I think she’s following order from Gideon or Thrawn…. I also think the mandalorian going to have Sabine Wren and Asoka are going to show up at some point
bo is plotting something big keeping the mythosour to herself.
That scientist's part is more like it's a scene from Andor
