man, everything aside this season really was not up to par with season 1 and 2, at points it was awful, at points epic. The finale felt safe and kinda fell flat all around.
@@awildmoose6541, I don't think it's all that bad. The editing or some things about it might be pushed - not to spend time on things they should be.

bruh i swear when we had the "jack black episode" i was like "this Axe dude kinda sus" but my word, my man came in clutch, massive respect for him now, didnt expect this at all!
I never suspected Axe it just seemed too easy a play, same with the survivors. The Armorer was a fun idea that was floating around all hell on Twitter, but it just seemed to be too much a pull for her character. 😅 Glad “the spies” really just turned out to be the imperial spy at the beginning of last episode.
Yeah, it made me wonder if she was the one that adopted Din. I have to go back and watch the first season again for those flashbacks. The way she tilted her head and her voice made her seem like a proud mother.
@@marcusmcgill4423 Din was rescued by a male Mandalorian, but that doesn't mean that the same mando took him as a foundling, maybe the Armorer took him
The Armorer bringing her forging tools to battles will forever be the coolest and most iconic thing to me. She's so cool. I also loved that shot of Bo holding the dark saber as they flew in. Legendary!

"Mandalorians are weak once they lose their trinkets." Gideon clearly hasn't heard this quote by Mandalore the Destroyer: "Here's why you can't exterminate us, Aruetii. We're ont huddled in one place - we span the galaxy. We need no lords or leaders - so you can't destroy our command. We can live without technology - so we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodline - so we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army, Aruetii. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideas - but we can certainly kill you." Anyway, absolute banger of a season finale
They had parent vibes the entire season. If I have one complaint about this is why the hell did they even do that? If they were not even going to follow through with it and even let them say goodbye. I agree with this video that I don’t really think there’s going to be much scope for this in the future. Which is kind of disappointing
right? Mom and Dad protecting their son, then the son protecting his Mom and Dad who were BOTH willing to sacrifice themselves for him? this is the way, they have to do it in one of the next seasons
@@vidyasundaram864 Why goodbye? Din can go back any time he wants. He's not been exiled, he's just traveling with Grogu doing the same thing he was doing when season 1 started. Only this time he's training Grogu. He can go back to Mandalore any time he wants, and I assume Bo Katan is gonna be busy rebuilding and might have to call him in from time to time. There's no need for a goodbye.
but unlike another powerful jedi of that era his power is earned and not unlimited. Grogu is powerfull but struggles to keep that power up for longer times
@@jackson857 A few people have told Din That Grogu sees him as a father, but whenever he's asked what grogu is to him, hes never said "my son" he says "its a pet" or "I keep it around for luck" this is the first time Din Dijarin has accepted the role of Grogus father, almost losing him and being helpless made him realize just what Grogu means to him.
By becoming a contractor for the New Republic in the end, Mando and Grogu can go on more solo adventures like in the first season. It sort of hits the reset button on the characters.
Honestly I kinda want the next season to start with a timeskip so we can see Adult Grogu, I wanna see what his Mandalorian armor and helmet will look like!
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973 Well they screwed that opportunity partially with ages of characters and the timeline. Grogu would become an adult roughly during the whoel Sequel Trilogy time...well not necessarily... he could be with Rey in the new Rey movie. But yeah Grogu will be an adult when Din is about ready to kick the bucket... post sequel times. Those sequels are stupid. So hopefully Grogu and the new Rey movie carry the canon stronger into that era. They have to double down on the stupid because they made it and released those ridiculous episode 8 and 9. But they can do better things around the periphery of that story and I hope they do.
You're right but imo it's just bad writing since pretty much everyone went into this episode wondering about the spy. They could've conveyed it better, especially since it was the episode's title
@@andyb6400 i don't think it's bad writing. spies used to refer to scouting, even in the bible. it's just that in recent years the association has shifted
@@paradox_4094 when non Mandos call him by his name also through me off since he said he never heard his name since he was a boy, but you are right 🤘🏽🤙🏽
It seems like Din's covert didn't use names (for safety, probably, since they were usually hiding from someone). The only one we knew was Paz but the credits told us his name. The Armorer is still just that.
The armorer is a true hero! SHE realized that the time was ripe for Mandalorians to unite and she pushed Bo Katan to be the leader of all Mandalore. She saw the bigger picture and was willing to put aside their differences in order for Mandalore to live again! If she didn't do that then they may have never reclaimed Mandalore or it may not have happened for many years!
yesterday on Bismo´s Channel i called that R5 would somehow came in clutch and im glad i was right :D (i said he would inform the republic guy whose name i always forget but hey, i got it partly right)
Man, seeing the mid-air battles with guns and hammers makes me want a Mandalorian video game. One where you could fly and battle and maybe even custom make your own Mandalorian armor!
I wish I could smash the like button 1000 times! I love that you guys are just Star Wars fans that just love watching Star Wars stuff without nitpicking every little thing that everybody thought would happen. Loved the season and loved the finale! Awesome reaction guys!
Jon Faverau has said that he’s already written S4. He said he basically wrote both seasons at once, because they are very dependent on each other. And can I just say your enthusiasm for, and your love of Star Wars is refreshing. I feel like I have FINALLY found a home. Everyone is sooo negative about EVERYTHING these days, but you guys take it for what it is and find the joy in it. Thank you, boys!
I'm starting to think the Armorer and Din Djarin are closer than we realise. Did she raise him? Was Din Djarin her apprentice? There was a beat when she talked about "his teacher" taking him on his journey.
A lot of people are thinking that. I think a better take would be that his teacher that raised him was very close to the armorer, perhaps even her love interest. And that trainer is Dead. So basically she was there side by side and knows a lot about Din and who trained him kind of like Din's Mother but not his father or trainer. That makes more sense to me in the way she acts around him.
When they showed grogu protecting sim and Bo in the fire, i just started crying. Star Wars has been with me forever. I'm so glad I'm around to see such peak starwars
Star wars truly is a full circle story, First episode we see how much Din cares for the future of foundlings always giving a share of his bounties to forge their armor, now we see him adopting a foundling, teaching and raising him as a student and son, if the series ends here, I wouldn't be dissapointed.
The point that Eric made about seeing all these shows as one big thing is exactly how I see it. I get that not everybody gets everything they want, and I myself can be somewhat disappointed with one thing or another. But all in all I am thouroughly enjoying all of it. And the attachments I formed with some of these characters in such a short time is a testament to the characterbuilding and acting. I can't wait to watch Ahsoka and my excitement for the Filoni Movie is immeasurable. :D
Well, kanan was holding back a bigger explosion, and he was standing on a fuel silo holding back the other explosion while trying to keep the one he was standing on intact to save everyone
i’m glad y’all can enjoy this series without having to nitpick the episodes to shreds. this new age of finding the bad in everything makes it difficult for me to share how much i’ve been enjoying these Star Wars shows. now if you don’t like it NO ONE is saying you can’t but don’t make someone feel bad just because they enjoy it. i just want to get back to having fun with Star Wars and not have to always wear a critic hat. keep up the solid work fellas. you’re killing it
@@leonrussell9607 but you went out of your way to comment on me liking something because you didn’t enjoy it. you’re making my point lol. you “fans” are something else
I have a theory that Professor Huyang might be able to repair the darksaber and reforge it to become Grogu size, because he is over a thousand years old, he would have been around when Tarre Vizla first built the thing and has records of nearly every lightsaber built since.
to be fair its Old tech and probably easy to repair even if they just have to use the original as reference the Special Dark Crystal is the ONLY part that can't be replace or repaired. Lightsabers are Not actually hard to make they are just dangerous for anyone who doesn't have the force to keep them selves from cutting themselves with it. Din has hurt himself at least twice with it so far.
Or it could be that grogu has to use the left over parts of the darksaber, as well as some other parts to force a new saber for themselves. Being the first true Jedi-mandalorian in many ages
The darksaber represented and even encouraged infighting between Mandalorians for over 1000 years. The whole point of it being destroyed was to further reinforce the line " we are stronger together " and new change of the Mandalorian culture. They're done fighting each other, it is time to rebuild. To then go back and rebuild the darksaber would be a *HUGE MISTAKE!* Din Grogu is now canonically on track to become the new Tarre Vizsla. Maybe in another 1000 years people will be fighting over the saber he will eventually build.
nah Filoni said thats not planned yet so probably wont happen until the movie or season 5 (cause season 4 is done in writing already) but yeah, i was kinda expecting it as well :D
I had to rewind like 3 times before I was convinced he hadn't said "bad" when Din said they wouldn't be safe until Gideon was gone. Turned out he just babbled and said something like "baaa" He is clearly trying to speak and is working towards it. In an earlier episode, Din and, I believe, the armorer, said "This is the way" and Grogu tried his best to say it as well.
A few people have told Din That Grogu sees him as a father, but whenever he's asked what grogu is to him, hes never said "my son" he says "its a pet" or "I keep it around for luck" this is the first time Din Dijarin has accepted the role of Grogus father, almost losing him and being helpless made him realize just what Grogu means to him and he finally accepted the role of Father to this orphan, think of it like what Qui-gon was supposed to be for Anakin. Its beautiful
The Armorer is SO COOL this episode and yeah shame on anyone who said that she might be the spy LOL. She was, is, and will always be some kind of a 'mother', 'counsellor', 'guide', you name it, the closest personification of The Way itself. Personally, from the very first of her appearance I always thought, in a way, that her character is almost like a sacred being in mandalorian society, with how she carried herself and how others usually look up at her, emily swallow did a good job on bringing this character alive
It just dawned on me that we're going to see a live action Ezra Bridger, in person. All this time I've been like "yeah, Ahsoka is all about looking for Ezra", but until now, I never really thought about what happens AFTER he's found. We could see Ezra and Ahsoka, and maybe even Luke, fighting Thrawn at some point.
This episode gave me everything ive wanted since the season 1 finale! I wanted Din and Grogu to settle down in a little house on some peaceful planet but still go on adventures! im so glad that my wish came true!! ALSO MANDOLORE IS BACK WOOH!
The Armorer is Din's adoptive mother. That's why she had a very specific tone when talking about Grogu's parents, her reaction to Din adopting, and leaving Mandalore like his teacher did for him. I think she was that Teacher, before she worked up to her current station as Armorer. This is my new head Canon, and nobody can change my mind!! LOL
When Axe Woves escorted everyone out of the ship I thought he was going to sit down and smile like, haha fools they fell for it (I thought he was a spy)
Beskar could be worked because of the special properties from the water from the mines of Mandalore. This is how the Armorer was able to tell Din went to there because it reacted properly. So... does that mean the special ingredient to beskar armor is mythosaur piss?
Mando and Joel are officially the same character. They're surrogate dads who have a kid with rare abilities, they're both smugglers/contractors, and Mando just took out a hallway full of people by stealing weapons and using them against their comrades.
Rest in peace Darksaber, you were a historical weapon for them and for us, the eras change but we will always remember you, who knows, maybe one day a force user and Mandalorian will come out again and a similar one can be created, This is the way
@Andy B So is the Dark Trooper suit Gideon has, and based on the fist fight he was having with Djarin, he either had a lot of Beskar in that suit or there was more than just Beskar
@@andyb6400 i think from the sounds alone its implied that the new dark trooper suits (or maybe just Gideon's) have some sort of mechanical or hydraulics or something
Meh more like 6/10, lot of missing plot points and the plot armour on the mandos compared to the darktroopers in this ep was huge like no mando dies but every darktrooper was gunned down like they were standard stormtroopers. The titles on these eps are just strange, like spy had us wondering but it ended being nothing like it could had been a huge plot twist but they just play it safe and favouring the mandos.
I actually have an interesting theory. As I've noticed, if we go back, we can see, that Moff Gideon had a moustache in first 2 seasons, but he didn't have in season 3. So i think that the one we were fighting here was also a clone like the other, that Mando killed. And the real Gideon is still alive somewhere in space
I don't bother with other reactions/reviews. You guys nail it. The love of Star Wars shines out of you and you are always positive, even about the not so good episodes. Your knowledge about Star Wars, your discussions about filming decisions, your analysis is always excellent. No other channel comes close.
I was so relieved when I heard that "Lady Kreeze, your reenforcements have arrived!". That theory, as well as all those "rumours" Din would die really f.ed me up while watching. I was holding my hands to my face during that whole fight with Gideon. :D
We got teased like twice in a row because at first I thought they were going to make Grogu say his first word, then when that failed, I thought Din would seek out Yoda’s species/homeworld, just for him to say I’ll adopt him when practically adopted him in season 1
I like that in S1E1, The Mandalorian was introduced in an opening iris transition (saloon door opening), and S3E8, he (and Grogu) is shown in a closing iris transition.
I am 100% onboard the theory that the title "The Spies" was a biblical reference to Moses and the Twelve Spies he sent to explore Canaan, each being from a different tribe. In this, the word "spies" basically just means "scouts". Also, if I remember correctly, last episode they sent 13 Mandalorians down to scout out Mandalore. Bo and her Twelve Spies (Scouts). Bo specifically also asked for people from each tribe to join her in her quest to do so. Loooots of similarities.
the ones in that room are dead, but the possibility of Gideon clones that predate the force-fused ones is still there. After all, he did say "...were finally going to be perfect." Implying that there were earlier models without the force. Gideon could be like Stargate SG-1's System Lord Ba'al and have clones trying to carry out his plans for some time to come.
oh my god....was it just me or did that music that played when grog was shielding Bo and Din from the fire sound (16:19) eerily similar to the music that plays in the Prince of Egypt when Moses splits the Red Sea? it might just be because both pieces are orchestral but....those first few powerful notes gave me serious flashbacks. (if anyone wants to compare the music tracks themselves, the music starts at about 1:30 into this video: "The Prince of Egypt (1998) - Parting the Red Sea Scene (9/10) | Movieclips". I swear, they had to take inspiration. I'm glad they did, both tracks are very emotionally powerful and awesome (as in, awe-inspiring.) Was not expecting the reference at all though, if it is intended to be a homage.)
According to what I have read, a fourth season is in development. Interconnected spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew expand on The Mandalorian's timeframe, with an untitled feature film directed by Filoni set to serve as a conclusion to the interconnected stories.
yup, been confirmed a while ago. s4 script is already done, filming will start in october this year. a movie of the "mando-verse" will also happen :) so idk why so many people were thinking Din would bite it, we literally got Mando-Content confirmed for the next 5 years..
Don’t know if this was said or discussed, but you noticed how the Mythosaur opened up its eyes once Grogu officially became a Mandolorian. Yes, I know the Mythosaur had its eyes open when Bo flew by, but I take that it was being disturbed from its rest.
There will be a season 4. Favreau finished writing it in February; they are in Pre-production as of this month, so building sets, creating costumes, etc. Filming is hopefully to start at end of year. I believe a Spring 2025 release date at the earliest but likely later, and I believe there will be a 10-15 year time jump with Mando older, Mandalore being rebuilt, and Grogu as a toddler (warwick Davis-esqe actor walking around instead of puppets).
Great reaction! What Eric said at 26:13 was precisely what I was thinking - if Mandalore decided to appoint a council to rule, they could each have their own Darksaber or similar; they could have taken the destroyed Darksaber (don't think it's out of the question, given it was on the platform with them when they survived the blast) and used it as a template or even restored it, much like how they repaired Anakin's lightsaber prior to The Rise of Skywalker. I don't know, I just feel like the weapon is such an interesting part of the story and has such a storied history; while it seems to be in line with a new leaf for Mandalore (and is one less thing for them to fight over), I think it could still be possible that it isn't gone forever and can have a use in the future. I certainly hope so!
Maybe when ever the new version is made, now or in years, it’s has to be given freely to be properly passed on. Wouldn’t that be an excellent cherry on top!
That jetpack fight was incredible. What really impressed me is that none of the moves felt wrong. Often with those kind of fight they float weirdly and it feels like gravity is off, but it was perfect. For example the shot where Bo slides on the deck for a second before dropping off, hovering, and firing two knee missiles. That whole thing was believable from a physics perspective
Right? Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly, given technology nowadays), the hand-to-hand ground fights felt way less believable and impactful than the air combat this episode.
I was really hoping Gideon would walk out from that fireball, adjust his suit, turn to face the camera to reveal that half of his face was missing, and then drop dead. 😂 He was really giving me Gus Fring vibes in the previous episode when he was talking to the other Imperial officers. It was like they were the cartel bosses that he was secretly plotting against, and I loved it.
Anyone else notice that in the S2 finale a Mandalorian fought Gideon with a spear whilst Gideon used the darksaber. Now its a Mandalorian who uses the darksaber and Gideon with a spear-like weapon.
I also think Gideon was a clone,so Gus...I mean Gideon LIVES! Also, Gideons armor was powered. You could hear it whenever he moved so it had augmented strength. Most Mandalorian suits are just armored plates. That's why he crushed the dark saber so easily.
Can't wait to see Axe become father figure to Ragnar as way of honouring Paz' death. (Notice he's standing next to him at the forge). Also, Din Armourer confirmed? She got emotional when Grogu was adopted by Din, and also when she was telling him to head out on adventures as his teacher did. She adopted Din and taught him the way, for sure. This is the way!
Omnimedia figured out what the title of the last episode meant with the help of a commenter "The Spies" title is referring to the Mandalorians who were "spying ahead" to make sure Mandalore is safe to inhabit . It's a reference to "the 12 spies" dispatched by Moses, to scout ahead the land of canaan for Israelite people . This explains the title pretty well . Even though I wasn't one of those people who was trying to figure out who the spies were . ( I forgot about the title while watching the episode 😅) So it made me enjoy the episode more cause I wasn't waiting for someone to betray us
Love the Finale! The symbiotic relationship demonstrated by Grogu & Mando, demonstrating that the combined skill sets can overcome any enemy. Storyline was great, and looking forward to Season IV!! Calling it now, Grogu will come back and bond/ride the Mythosaur! Also "Spies" can easily be a low-key reference to Thrawn having a plant since Gideon had no Love for Thrawn and I'm sure it was reciprocated. Remember Thrawn plays the long game. Loved story arc.
Axe woves didn't fly to space, he went to the upper atmosphere of the planet where the ships were waiting. We do it on earth. There's a level between space and the uppermost atmosphere on earth we can traverse. There's a video where a astronaut leap from a perched with his breathing helmet then when he got to the lower atmosphere pulled a parachute then landed.
One other thing I noticed near the end, as Ragnar Vizla was being Baptized again, the creed did NOT include the promise that he would never remove his helmet! Perhaps the Children of the Watch are evolving?
51:30 Gideon was able to communicate with the Shadow Council while on Mandalore. Maybe there really isn't interference preventing communication, but instead it was a planet wide signal jammer put up by the Empire. Now that Gideon and his forces are gone it may very well be possible to send transmissions off-world and vice versa.

Honestly I kinda want the next season to start with a timeskip so we can see Adult Grogu, I wanna see what his Mandalorian armor and helmet will look like!
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973 Well they screwed that opportunity partially with ages of characters and the timeline. Grogu would become an adult roughly during the whoel Sequel Trilogy time...well not necessarily... he could be with Rey in the new Rey movie. But yeah Grogu will be an adult when Din is about ready to kick the bucket... post sequel times. Those sequels are stupid. So hopefully Grogu and the new Rey movie carry the canon stronger into that era. They have to double down on the stupid because they made it and released those ridiculous episode 8 and 9. But they can do better things around the periphery of that story and I hope they do.
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973e need to hear him learn to talk first
He gave Gideon his ship back, definitely makes him the spy.
I didn't expect to cry a little, but being adopted myself, it hit me right in my hear when Din said he would adopt Grogu.
A forever home
I’m adopted as well, and that part hit hard. Adoptive families is all over the Star Wars universe and it makes it cooler knowing I can relate to that.
Everyone is misunderstanding the whole spy thing, its spies like scouts who scouted out the planet last episode like moses and his spies
You're right but imo it's just bad writing since pretty much everyone went into this episode wondering about the spy. They could've conveyed it better, especially since it was the episode's title
No, this is a really dumb explanation. You shouldn't have to go to the Bible for an explanation for a poorly-chosen title. Stop defending bad writing.
@@andyb6400 i don't think it's bad writing. spies used to refer to scouting, even in the bible. it's just that in recent years the association has shifted
Yep. There were 12 of those, and there were exactly 12 Mandalorians who accompanied Bo-Katan down to the planet.
One of the Spies might be Jack Black, and likely the guy who placed a tracking device on the Razor Crest.
Rip to the mouse droid that got knocked off of the base by the Astro mech boosters.
I loved Axe leading the shout FOR MANDALORE!!!
I think it is funny only Moff calls Din “ the Mandolorian” even though he knows him and everyone else since last season knows him by name 🤣
i thought it was awesome because i and many others see Din as the embodiment of what it is to be a Mandolorian
@@paradox_4094 when non Mandos call him by his name also through me off since he said he never heard his name since he was a boy, but you are right 🤘🏽🤙🏽
It seems like Din's covert didn't use names (for safety, probably, since they were usually hiding from someone). The only one we knew was Paz but the credits told us his name. The Armorer is still just that.
Moff isn't a name, it's a title.
The armorer is a true hero! SHE realized that the time was ripe for Mandalorians to unite and she pushed Bo Katan to be the leader of all Mandalore. She saw the bigger picture and was willing to put aside their differences in order for Mandalore to live again! If she didn't do that then they may have never reclaimed Mandalore or it may not have happened for many years!
Amen
"that was an old man! This is a baby, he's 50" 🤣
R5, passed over by Luke, is instrumental in reclaiming Mandalore. Somehow, that's one of the wildest parts of this season.
yesterday on Bismo´s Channel i called that R5 would somehow came in clutch and im glad i was right :D
(i said he would inform the republic guy whose name i always forget but hey, i got it partly right)
Man, seeing the mid-air battles with guns and hammers makes me want a Mandalorian video game. One where you could fly and battle and maybe even custom make your own Mandalorian armor!
I would love an open world RPG; and the ability to make/paint your own helmets/armor at Galaxy's Edge, like how you can make your own lightsabers.
I'd play the hell out of that game
@P Forest yes!
Nah cuase it’s just plot armor they can’t die but the stormtroopers can
@@jakecahill7795 the stormtroopers are using impure beskar and have bigger gaps I their amour. And the mandos have better aim.
I wish I could smash the like button 1000 times! I love that you guys are just Star Wars fans that just love watching Star Wars stuff without nitpicking every little thing that everybody thought would happen. Loved the season and loved the finale! Awesome reaction guys!
The fights in the episode were incredible! The flying Mandalorians was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in Star Wars! Loved every bit of that!
Jon Faverau has said that he’s already written S4. He said he basically wrote both seasons at once, because they are very dependent on each other.
And can I just say your enthusiasm for, and your love of Star Wars is refreshing. I feel like I have FINALLY found a home. Everyone is sooo negative about EVERYTHING these days, but you guys take it for what it is and find the joy in it. Thank you, boys!
I'm starting to think the Armorer and Din Djarin are closer than we realise. Did she raise him? Was Din Djarin her apprentice? There was a beat when she talked about "his teacher" taking him on his journey.
A lot of people are thinking that. I think a better take would be that his teacher that raised him was very close to the armorer, perhaps even her love interest. And that trainer is Dead. So basically she was there side by side and knows a lot about Din and who trained him kind of like Din's Mother but not his father or trainer. That makes more sense to me in the way she acts around him.
Grogu protecting mom and dad, awwwh.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the happy ending!! Grogu will tame the Mythosaur!!!
I just want to see Grogu riding in on the Mythosaur the way Boba rode in on the rancor.
@@marcusmcgill4423 Grogu :''mine's bigger'' xDD

Star wars truly is a full circle story, First episode we see how much Din cares for the future of foundlings always giving a share of his bounties to forge their armor, now we see him adopting a foundling, teaching and raising him as a student and son, if the series ends here, I wouldn't be dissapointed.
“Mandalorians are weak.. once they lose their trinkets.” *as he’s clad in a mechanized beskar Mandalorian inspired battle suit*
The point that Eric made about seeing all these shows as one big thing is exactly how I see it. I get that not everybody gets everything they want, and I myself can be somewhat disappointed with one thing or another. But all in all I am thouroughly enjoying all of it. And the attachments I formed with some of these characters in such a short time is a testament to the characterbuilding and acting. I can't wait to watch Ahsoka and my excitement for the Filoni Movie is immeasurable. :D
I heard one of the reacts channel drop this line which perfectly sums up what this fandom doesnt do "Dont turn your speculation into expectation."
Grogu did a Kanan but successfully
Almost got Kanan-end
😂
toooo soooooon
RIP
Well, kanan was holding back a bigger explosion, and he was standing on a fuel silo holding back the other explosion while trying to keep the one he was standing on intact to save everyone
i’m glad y’all can enjoy this series without having to nitpick the episodes to shreds. this new age of finding the bad in everything makes it difficult for me to share how much i’ve been enjoying these Star Wars shows.
now if you don’t like it NO ONE is saying you can’t but don’t make someone feel bad just because they enjoy it. i just want to get back to having fun with Star Wars and not have to always wear a critic hat.
keep up the solid work fellas. you’re killing it

I have a theory that Professor Huyang might be able to repair the darksaber and reforge it to become Grogu size, because he is over a thousand years old, he would have been around when Tarre Vizla first built the thing and has records of nearly every lightsaber built since.
to be fair its Old tech and probably easy to repair even if they just have to use the original as reference the Special Dark Crystal is the ONLY part that can't be replace or repaired. Lightsabers are Not actually hard to make they are just dangerous for anyone who doesn't have the force to keep them selves from cutting themselves with it. Din has hurt himself at least twice with it so far.
Or it could be that grogu has to use the left over parts of the darksaber, as well as some other parts to force a new saber for themselves. Being the first true Jedi-mandalorian in many ages
The darksaber represented and even encouraged infighting between Mandalorians for over 1000 years.
The whole point of it being destroyed was to further reinforce the line " we are stronger together " and new change of the Mandalorian culture.
They're done fighting each other, it is time to rebuild.
To then go back and rebuild the darksaber would be a *HUGE MISTAKE!*
Din Grogu is now canonically on track to become the new Tarre Vizsla.
Maybe in another 1000 years people will be fighting over the saber he will eventually build.
For me, a truly cool moment that got trimmed in this reaction and is easy to miss was in the forge lighting Ragnar was standing next to Ax Woves.
Yes!!! I hope they help each other grow as Mandalorians, and that axe takes him in as his own
Axe Woves: "LET ME RETURN THIS TO YOU, YOU IMPERIAL BASTARDS!"
I'm glad he decided to be sensible and jump out instead of going down with the ship
@@mikewizz1895 Haha why would he commit suicide?
@@mikewizz1895 For real. We all know Paz went out like a boss but ffs, they could have just run.
@@Nekotaku_TV Sailors tradition thats why
I think doing a kamikaze on it was better.
I really thought we might hear Grogu talk at the end!
nah Filoni said thats not planned yet so probably wont happen until the movie or season 5 (cause season 4 is done in writing already) but yeah, i was kinda expecting it as well :D
I had to rewind like 3 times before I was convinced he hadn't said "bad" when Din said they wouldn't be safe until Gideon was gone. Turned out he just babbled and said something like "baaa"
He is clearly trying to speak and is working towards it. In an earlier episode, Din and, I believe, the armorer, said "This is the way" and Grogu tried his best to say it as well.
@@snerdterguson i honestly thought he said 'dad' or something very similar when getting Dins attention when pointing to the IG droid head in the bar
He did talk, we just couldn’t understand him 😁
A few people have told Din That Grogu sees him as a father, but whenever he's asked what grogu is to him, hes never said "my son" he says "its a pet" or "I keep it around for luck" this is the first time Din Dijarin has accepted the role of Grogus father, almost losing him and being helpless made him realize just what Grogu means to him and he finally accepted the role of Father to this orphan, think of it like what Qui-gon was supposed to be for Anakin. Its beautiful
The music when Grogu is holding back the fire is absolutely beautiful!
The Armorer is SO COOL this episode and yeah shame on anyone who said that she might be the spy LOL. She was, is, and will always be some kind of a 'mother', 'counsellor', 'guide', you name it, the closest personification of The Way itself. Personally, from the very first of her appearance I always thought, in a way, that her character is almost like a sacred being in mandalorian society, with how she carried herself and how others usually look up at her, emily swallow did a good job on bringing this character alive
“Stay motivated R-5”
I understood that reference
This one has a bad motivator! What are you tryna push on us?
I was so glad they didn't make us lose Woves! He just flew up there and took charge and rammed that ship down Gideon's throat!
The mini mouse droid police force was the best part of the episode for me!
Someone on another video said they're like Hall Monitors, LOL!
It just dawned on me that we're going to see a live action Ezra Bridger, in person. All this time I've been like "yeah, Ahsoka is all about looking for Ezra", but until now, I never really thought about what happens AFTER he's found. We could see Ezra and Ahsoka, and maybe even Luke, fighting Thrawn at some point.
This episode gave me everything ive wanted since the season 1 finale! I wanted Din and Grogu to settle down in a little house on some peaceful planet but still go on adventures! im so glad that my wish came true!! ALSO MANDOLORE IS BACK WOOH!
i absolutely loved this finale, it was so awesome and happy :D there needs to be many more finales like this in star wars. happy endings rock
The Armorer is Din's adoptive mother. That's why she had a very specific tone when talking about Grogu's parents, her reaction to Din adopting, and leaving Mandalore like his teacher did for him. I think she was that Teacher, before she worked up to her current station as Armorer. This is my new head Canon, and nobody can change my mind!! LOL
When Axe Woves escorted everyone out of the ship I thought he was going to sit down and smile like, haha fools they fell for it (I thought he was a spy)
Also started crying and thinking of Kanan. Incredible
Beskar could be worked because of the special properties from the water from the mines of Mandalore. This is how the Armorer was able to tell Din went to there because it reacted properly. So... does that mean the special ingredient to beskar armor is mythosaur piss?
... probably?
Mythpiss is that secret sauce
😂😂😂😂
Mando and Joel are officially the same character. They're surrogate dads who have a kid with rare abilities, they're both smugglers/contractors, and Mando just took out a hallway full of people by stealing weapons and using them against their comrades.
Rest in peace Darksaber, you were a historical weapon for them and for us, the eras change but we will always remember you, who knows, maybe one day a force user and Mandalorian will come out again and a similar one can be created, This is the way
I'm still wondering how it got crushed so easily? Didn't Djarin say the hilt was beskar?
@Andy B So is the Dark Trooper suit Gideon has, and based on the fist fight he was having with Djarin, he either had a lot of Beskar in that suit or there was more than just Beskar
@Here's Jonny right but how did he destroy the hilt? Is he super strong?
@@andyb6400 His suit isn't just Beskar, it's a power suit akin to something like Iron Man.
@@andyb6400 i think from the sounds alone its implied that the new dark trooper suits (or maybe just Gideon's) have some sort of mechanical or hydraulics or something
Awesome finale! 10/10
Word 👍
Meh more like 6/10, lot of missing plot points and the plot armour on the mandos compared to the darktroopers in this ep was huge like no mando dies but every darktrooper was gunned down like they were standard stormtroopers.
The titles on these eps are just strange, like spy had us wondering but it ended being nothing like it could had been a huge plot twist but they just play it safe and favouring the mandos.
I actually have an interesting theory. As I've noticed, if we go back, we can see, that Moff Gideon had a moustache in first 2 seasons, but he didn't have in season 3. So i think that the one we were fighting here was also a clone like the other, that Mando killed. And the real Gideon is still alive somewhere in space
I don't bother with other reactions/reviews. You guys nail it. The love of Star Wars shines out of you and you are always positive, even about the not so good episodes. Your knowledge about Star Wars, your discussions about filming decisions, your analysis is always excellent.
No other channel comes close.
Absolutely incredible! Thank you guys! ❤❤❤
So can we put to rest the INSANE theory that the armorer was a spy?
It was hardly an “insane” theory, just an unlikely one.
I was so relieved when I heard that "Lady Kreeze, your reenforcements have arrived!". That theory, as well as all those "rumours" Din would die really f.ed me up while watching. I was holding my hands to my face during that whole fight with Gideon. :D
I'm so glad she proved her heart is true , I had faith, but I would have been so bummed if she was the spy.
I'm amazed at the number of people who jumped on that theory right off the bat.
It was a red herring. They obviously wanted the audience to at least think about it.
We got teased like twice in a row because at first I thought they were going to make Grogu say his first word, then when that failed, I thought Din would seek out Yoda’s species/homeworld, just for him to say I’ll adopt him when practically adopted him in season 1
'the spies' appears to have been a reference to the 12 spies sent into Canaan to see how safe the land was... or something like that
I like that in S1E1, The Mandalorian was introduced in an opening iris transition (saloon door opening), and S3E8, he (and Grogu) is shown in a closing iris transition.
I am 100% onboard the theory that the title "The Spies" was a biblical reference to Moses and the Twelve Spies he sent to explore Canaan, each being from a different tribe. In this, the word "spies" basically just means "scouts". Also, if I remember correctly, last episode they sent 13 Mandalorians down to scout out Mandalore. Bo and her Twelve Spies (Scouts). Bo specifically also asked for people from each tribe to join her in her quest to do so. Loooots of similarities.
There were 12 mandalorians plus Grogu, who was the 13th
@@marcuscersy2393 Grogu is a Mandalorian, its 12 Spies and Bo, who is the Moses figure in the analogy
🤮 the bible
I think Gideon is dead - but maybe one of his clones actually survived, the one that woke to scare Grogu.
We may have a force Gideon return soon.
the ones in that room are dead, but the possibility of Gideon clones that predate the force-fused ones is still there. After all, he did say "...were finally going to be perfect." Implying that there were earlier models without the force. Gideon could be like Stargate SG-1's System Lord Ba'al and have clones trying to carry out his plans for some time to come.
yo maybe! That one that woke up could have protected itself using the force Gideon coming back WITH the force would be nuts
Well, I don´t think the only clones were those on Mandalore...
@@cargo71 That's a good point. We saw them on Navarro and we know Gideon had other bases
oh my god....was it just me or did that music that played when grog was shielding Bo and Din from the fire sound (16:19) eerily similar to the music that plays in the Prince of Egypt when Moses splits the Red Sea? it might just be because both pieces are orchestral but....those first few powerful notes gave me serious flashbacks.
(if anyone wants to compare the music tracks themselves, the music starts at about 1:30 into this video: "The Prince of Egypt (1998) - Parting the Red Sea Scene (9/10) | Movieclips". I swear, they had to take inspiration. I'm glad they did, both tracks are very emotionally powerful and awesome (as in, awe-inspiring.) Was not expecting the reference at all though, if it is intended to be a homage.)
Best episode yet! 👍
Admittedly, I was apprehensive, but am now pleasantly surprised!
According to what I have read, a fourth season is in development. Interconnected spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew expand on The Mandalorian's timeframe, with an untitled feature film directed by Filoni set to serve as a conclusion to the interconnected stories.
Is anyone else REALLY surprised we didn't have a single Pedro face reveal all season long? And especially not in this one? Just find that interesting.
He's kinda been busy with a different series. That and it would undercut the effect of Bo keeping hers off.
Yeah he was probably filming The Last of Us at the time. Easier for him to do VO work.
Due to issues on set behind the scenes Pedro was prolly rarely there in person
@@sneakdza what issues? LMAO
@@carolinaa.4407 Him at home with Grogu could've been fine. They made it loud and clear when the Mandos would take off their helmets.
Something about seeing the Armorer drop out of the guantlet was so fire.
I believe Favreau has said there will be a season 4, supposedly he ‘s already written it.
I heard him say that too.
He said he’s already writing season 5
yup, been confirmed a while ago.
s4 script is already done, filming will start in october this year.
a movie of the "mando-verse" will also happen :)
so idk why so many people were thinking Din would bite it, we literally got Mando-Content confirmed for the next 5 years..
Not only that, I read Jon wants to take the relationship between Din (D) and Din (G) beyond Season 5, as long as the interest is still there.
Don’t know if this was said or discussed, but you noticed how the Mythosaur opened up its eyes once Grogu officially became a Mandolorian. Yes, I know the Mythosaur had its eyes open when Bo flew by, but I take that it was being disturbed from its rest.
Grogu is overrated
@@leonrussell9607 Sure buttercup, keep on hating lol
Grogu kinda said Hi to the Mythosaur...
There will be a season 4. Favreau finished writing it in February; they are in Pre-production as of this month, so building sets, creating costumes, etc. Filming is hopefully to start at end of year. I believe a Spring 2025 release date at the earliest but likely later, and I believe there will be a 10-15 year time jump with Mando older, Mandalore being rebuilt, and Grogu as a toddler (warwick Davis-esqe actor walking around instead of puppets).
Great reaction! What Eric said at 26:13 was precisely what I was thinking - if Mandalore decided to appoint a council to rule, they could each have their own Darksaber or similar; they could have taken the destroyed Darksaber (don't think it's out of the question, given it was on the platform with them when they survived the blast) and used it as a template or even restored it, much like how they repaired Anakin's lightsaber prior to The Rise of Skywalker. I don't know, I just feel like the weapon is such an interesting part of the story and has such a storied history; while it seems to be in line with a new leaf for Mandalore (and is one less thing for them to fight over), I think it could still be possible that it isn't gone forever and can have a use in the future. I certainly hope so!
Maybe when ever the new version is made, now or in years, it’s has to be given freely to be properly passed on. Wouldn’t that be an excellent cherry on top!
@10:22 - 10:30, never thought I'd see the day that Eric got excited to see the Darksaber ignited and comment "That's soooo cool!"
That jetpack fight was incredible. What really impressed me is that none of the moves felt wrong. Often with those kind of fight they float weirdly and it feels like gravity is off, but it was perfect. For example the shot where Bo slides on the deck for a second before dropping off, hovering, and firing two knee missiles. That whole thing was believable from a physics perspective
Right? Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly, given technology nowadays), the hand-to-hand ground fights felt way less believable and impactful than the air combat this episode.
Btw that was Koska not Bo 😁
Love that Skinny Pete is in the Mandalorian, didn't notice it the last episode.
the grogu fire scene reminded me first on yoda in clone wars when he protected everyone from the poison gas in the zillo best arc
I was really hoping Gideon would walk out from that fireball, adjust his suit, turn to face the camera to reveal that half of his face was missing, and then drop dead. 😂
He was really giving me Gus Fring vibes in the previous episode when he was talking to the other Imperial officers. It was like they were the cartel bosses that he was secretly plotting against, and I loved it.
I can't believe they stuck Lateef Crowder in a Mando suit and said, "Let it rip, spinning man."
OMG I love Star Wars. WOW
Anyone else notice that in the S2 finale a Mandalorian fought Gideon with a spear whilst Gideon used the darksaber. Now its a Mandalorian who uses the darksaber and Gideon with a spear-like weapon.
It really was "So Star Wars" that a mouse Droid fell off the edge I laughed so hard .
Just imagine how different it would've been if Gideon had some Dark Troopers from season 2 left
That would've been terrifying.. well thanks Luke
Been waiting for you guys! Super excited for you guys to watch this episode, it was a ride!
its always sounds funny "its just a baby, he's 50"
One touch I love about Gideon's armour, is that when he walks, the sound is almost identical to the imperial alarm sound
I also think Gideon was a clone,so Gus...I mean Gideon LIVES!
Also, Gideons armor was powered. You could hear it whenever he moved so it had augmented strength. Most Mandalorian suits are just armored plates. That's why he crushed the dark saber so easily.
Can't wait to see Axe become father figure to Ragnar as way of honouring Paz' death. (Notice he's standing next to him at the forge).
Also, Din Armourer confirmed?
She got emotional when Grogu was adopted by Din, and also when she was telling him to head out on adventures as his teacher did.
She adopted Din and taught him the way, for sure.
This is the way!
This is the first time I've heard that idea and I like it, but I wouldn't call it confirmed yet
Literally the opposite of confirmed, but it's a cool theory.
Omnimedia figured out what the title of the last episode meant with the help of a commenter
"The Spies" title is referring to the Mandalorians who were "spying ahead" to make sure Mandalore is safe to inhabit .
It's a reference to "the 12 spies" dispatched by Moses, to scout ahead the land of canaan for Israelite people .
This explains the title pretty well . Even though I wasn't one of those people who was trying to figure out who the spies were . ( I forgot about the title while watching the episode 😅) So it made me enjoy the episode more cause I wasn't waiting for someone to betray us
Love the Finale! The symbiotic relationship demonstrated by Grogu & Mando, demonstrating that the combined skill sets can overcome any enemy.
Storyline was great, and looking forward to Season IV!!
Calling it now, Grogu will come back and bond/ride the Mythosaur! Also "Spies" can easily be a low-key reference to Thrawn having a plant since Gideon had no Love for Thrawn and I'm sure it was reciprocated. Remember Thrawn plays the long game.
Loved story arc.
Im with Eric the fire scene instantly reminded me of Kanan
Or just last season
Simple explanation they just wanted everyone talk about the who the spy was for marketing
@@roxtechs Fair, but the imagery resembled more of Kanan's moment in my opinion
Axe woves didn't fly to space, he went to the upper atmosphere of the planet where the ships were waiting. We do it on earth. There's a level between space and the uppermost atmosphere on earth we can traverse. There's a video where a astronaut leap from a perched with his breathing helmet then when he got to the lower atmosphere pulled a parachute then landed.
One other thing I noticed near the end, as Ragnar Vizla was being Baptized again, the creed did NOT include the promise that he would never remove his helmet!
Perhaps the Children of the Watch are evolving?
51:30 Gideon was able to communicate with the Shadow Council while on Mandalore. Maybe there really isn't interference preventing communication, but instead it was a planet wide signal jammer put up by the Empire. Now that Gideon and his forces are gone it may very well be possible to send transmissions off-world and vice versa.
