The origin of the dent in Boba's helmet is actually shown in an unfinished clone wars episode, and since Dave Filoni is involved with the Mandalorian it's probably canon
Dave Filoni has actually said somewhere that the episode is not canon and that Cad Bane is still alive and helped the empire in their early years with bounties. I actually expect him to show up somehow in this show one day hopefully.
@@KiwiHehe. I didn't know that Filoni said that. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. My ONE disappointment with The Disney + season of Clone Wars (yes, I said ONE, I'm like the one person who didn't completely hate that middle arc) is that the Cad Bane versus Boba arc didn't make it in. I so wanted to see that arc get made. That being said, I've been jonesing for some more Cad Bane since the last time we saw him in Clone Wars but didn't even think of the possibility of him showing up in Mando. That would totally work. Especially since he's a Duros so it would be the easiest thing in the to just have Corey Burton dubb in the voice.
The dent in his helmet has been there for ever, since the clone wars. Young Boba had a stand off with another bounty hunter called Cad Bane, the duel ended with Bane getting two shots to the chest, while Bane gave Boba the iconic dent in the helmet. So no, Boba doesnt have amnesia.
Indeed. Me personally, I was also thinking "Can't wait for everyone online to go 'Better Monster Hunter than the actual Monster Hunter movie'. Personally, while Jeremy take on it was amusing, I was really surprised that the Tuscans would team up with anyone. I've never seen Tuscans react to anyone in anyway other than open hostility. Is that a thing in the books and comics, or is that new material?
@@faethore8541 KotOR and SWG came out basically at the same time in 2003. They were first mentioned in Kevin J. Anderson's novel titled "Darksaber" in 1995. I do agree tho that this episode felt more like an homage to KotOR. There you have to talk with and earn the trust of the Tuskens to go through their territory, and they task you with hunting a krayt dragon which is sleeping in a cave. You lure the dragon out with a bantha and blow up explosives underneath it to kill it. You can then decide I think if you want to use the krayt pearl in your lightsaber or give it to the Tuskens.

I was so happy to see that they brought back Temeura Morrison, he’s one of the most underrated actors in the Star Wars universe and his voice is iconic
Rogue Matter His voice is indeed iconic. Love that guy. I'm a little torn however. I love Morrison's voice, but I lowkey want Boba to have his oldschool original Empire Strikes Back voice. It makes him more unique to me, basically "is" Boba Fett, but again I'm torn because being Jango's clone he'd obviously have a similar if not the same voice, as seen in the updated original trilogy. What are the odds Temeura can do a classic Boba impression? Perhaps channel the two voices together? haha. Either way, he's great and I'm glad he's back too.
Favorite part was when Mando starts speaking Tusken out of nowhere, as opposed to just the sign language from last season. Like he pulled out the books and studied.
@@khaki_man ah yes yes, Boba coming back, mando established on tatooine, boba probably going to become mainstay in main movies and probably best the crap out of mando and be hired to get baby yoda, no plot setup at all
Really happy to see Cobb Vanth in live action. He was originally in the Aftermath books in the interludes of those books. And Timothy Olyphant was great.

The person he played, is he a minor character or a one and done thing? My star wars knowledge extends to the movies and this show and that's it 🤷🏽♂️ either way he did a great job and the show is *EASILY* my favourite star wars media (I've only seen the movies as its competition but still)
There is something, an easter egg from A New Hope in The Marshall that nobody has mentioned yet. In A New Hope, when Luke and Obi Wan comes across the destroyed sandcrawler that belonged to the jawas who sold the droids to Owen Lars, Luke thinks that the sand people did it because there are bantha tracks and gafferi sticks everywhere but Ben says that it isn't because sand people ride in single file to disguise their numbers The sand people in this episode rode in single file too
I don't think that it is. If it was something like, going to the spice mines of Kessel or saying that Wookies have been a slave race since the end of the clone wars,you might be right. But Obi-Wan stating that ONCE, 43 years ago and never saying again? That's an Easter egg
@@dragonweyr44 Nah mate, that's called world building. They only mentioned it once because sand people never were the center of the plot. They are just following the rules that have been established.
@@dragonweyr44 Like these guys said, that’s not an Easter egg. That’s just staying consistent with what Obi-Wan said in A New Hope. I’m pretty sure they’ve walked in single-file in the other movies they’ve appeared in as well.
The "bullet hole" you mentioned on Boba's helmet was from a Clone Wars episode that was never finished but is still considered canon. Cad Bane and Boba have a falling out and decided to have a high-noon style shoot out. They both headshot each other but Boba's helmet saves him.
I’ve heard from some people that it isn’t considered canon by filoni. And that he said Cad Bane is still alive. I don’t have any references for you though
@@Stringer13ell I know dent was in ESB I’m just not sure if they’re sticking to the cad bane shootout duel scene as being it’s origin. I’m also not sure why Jeremy thinks it’s amnesia. But if I remember right in legends boba Fett gets amnesia after getting out of the pit for the first time but gets his memory back and goes after Han. But I don’t think they’ll do that story
@James Jones and it is kinda racist assuming all sand people are savages just because we seen some bad trides. But it's their culture and distaine for outsiders.
I liked the fact that the sound the dragon made was what ob1 used to scare the sandpeople away in new hope special edition. Makes sense that it would work now.
How many times has Timothy Olyphant played a marshal now? He's a marshal in this, in Justified, in Deadwood, and in Fargo. It's a real specific type cast is all I'm saying.
I know everyone calls out the "member berries" as being a bad thing, and I disagree. When it gets to a point where it is overbearing and detracting from the story at hand that could be bad, but Filoni hasn't done that yet in any of his shows that I can recall. I think they're tasteful callbacks that remind us that this is part of a larger universe with some larger than life characters such as Boba.
@@tomsimmons7673 Indeed. One thing I keep thinking over and over with Mando and the Disney movies (the main examples being Rogue One and Rise of Palpatine) is the fact that for some reason the fanservice in Mando feels less phony and cynical and more genuine, loving and world-building. When Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba show up in Rogue One, literally fucking everyone is going "Why the fuck are these two here?" and I'm also doing "Why does Dr. Evazan look like shit in this?" But in Mandalorian it more often than not feels it's made by people who genuinely love classic Star Wars (also "classic Star Wars" apparently now includes the Prequels. That's where we are now.)
I loved this episode!! It shows how Mando is a unifying force. Timothy Olyphant was terrific as Cobb Vanth. Mando keeps adding allies into his back pocket, which is very smart considering the warning from the Armorer that as a Mandalorian "you are hunter & prey". Mando needs all the help he can get!!
On the Boba's helmet having a dent in it: Originally, before the Clone Wars was cancelled, there was a planned episode/arc that would include an Boba Fett going on adventures with and being trained by Cad Bane. By the end of the arc, Bane and Fett would have a stand off resulting in Bane's death and Fett's armor becoming scathed. While it's currently not canon, it definitely was PLANNED to be. You can even watch the unfinished clip is on TH-cam!
@@jackdaniels4346 they mostly call themselves Indians, so it's no big deal. My source for that is a video on CGP Grey channel, and he is pretty reliable overall.
@@jackdaniels4346 Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't, although I see myself more a Metis (French+Native) then a full Native Edit: in Canada we are also called First Nations
This is the second of video of yours I've watched, I like what I'm seeing, have a sub. In this time of Covid-19 I can't spend a lot of time with friends, and most of the ones I talk a lot online with are waiting until the whole season is done, but you make it feel like I'm talking with a friend about it. I loved this episode, and I want to see more Cobb. I've always liked Mr Olyphant's usual mix of charm, menace, and creepy, but here the creepy isn't coming through much at all, and the menace is more subtle. And it really works. I also liked the Sand People getting the humanizing touch. I've killed so many of them in various star wars video games, but now I might actually feel a little bad about it.
Me literally every episode. When they played it TWICE in the actual episode this time I was all "Ah, man, now I know they're not going to do it at the end" Then the ending happens and I got happy again.
The dent in the helmet is most likely from a duel from Cad Bane from unfinished Clone Wars episodes, also the way the tried to kill the Krayt Dragon is the same way it was killed in KOTOR
Someone else on TH-cam compared this episode to Cowboys and Indians coming together which I never thought of until then. The side quest was totally Knights of the Old Republic. It’s been years since I played that game but funny once I connected it. Also the blaster hit on his helmet confirmed it was his Armor. Even the crest on the chest plate was perfect to detail. Filoni and Favreau know exactly what they’re doing to the fans. I’m hoping there is fan service but more subtle kind. I was more canon expansion through more story building. Like Dantooine, that gets a name drop but we’ve never seen it on screen other than the Clone Wars.
Thought it was a great episode. Easily the best bit was how the introduce how big of a threat the Krayt Dragon was for the episode “there’s no such thing as an abandoned Sarlaac Pit.... There is if you eat the Sarlaac”
Speaking from a cinematic viewpoint. The moment when the screen when from the wideframe to fullframe for the shot of the mountain. That gave me goosebumps cause it was done so well
Cool to hear you, also, played on vanilla SWG. Tatooine was the best planet for hooking up rp, I wonder if we ever gamed together. I played out of Mos Espa quite a bit and will never forget going to a live concert, put on by a PC band with the aid of their astromech special effects droids. The macros you could make for that game were incredible. I spent a lot of time as an Entertainer/Healer/Bounty Hunter. I was so sad when the NGEs ruined the game.
KOTOR & the Pearl. Lots of memberberries. They should be careful, not everything needs to hark back to the movies. Great episode! Loved the humanization of the Tusken Raiders. Felt bad for the banthas. I loved that fans could tell it wasn't Boba Fett despite having the armor on. Great episode! The formula is starting to show: Mando needs something. Town/Group has a need/problem. Mando has to fix the problem. It's the same story in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9 but in different areas and characters. It only deviates when dealing with the child. But I'm still enjoying it immensely.
The dent in boba fetts helmet has been there since ESB, it was revealed in a clip from a Clone Wars episode that didn’t reach final animation due to the show being cancelled, that the dent was actually caused by a shoot out with Cad Bane.
Honestly, the Member berries in this Episode wasn't the wrong kind of Nostialgia. It takes a keen eye to really notice it. I mean The Boba armor was very much in our face. But we've known for a while that Boba would show up at some point. Ever since Season one when we got that tease in Episode 4 or 5? Can't remember... But it was a given that Boba would return. So they where having some fun with us this episode. But Anakin's Pod engine being Not Boba's speeder was a deep cut. I fealt like i should know it when i was looking at it. I fealt like it was a Pod racer engine and it might even be THE one. But i wasn't sure. So these deep cut easter eggs. It would be a different story if they where in our face just pulling a Arny where he keeps yelling ''I'll be back'' in every film he is in... That is a in your face Member berrie. And that's what Member berries are. They are flashing a refferance in our face and being all like ''You member this, you memeber? Member? look? You member? I memeber...''. That's what South Park was really doing with that plotline. Distracting with Nostalgia to not really out effort into it. And here, most wouldn't even relise anything other then Boba's armor and maybe Boba himself. The rest would be too deep for even most STAR WARS fans. So it's not there to distract from a lack of quality or writng. It's simply there to be a reminded that this is still the same Planet and Galaxy that Luke once had to fight his father to save him from the Dark Side. But this Episode was nothing short of FUCKING Amazing! It started out a bit standard. I was hoping that by the end we would get a tease or just something cool. But the final act of the Episode, they went all out. That was Cinematic! It was Grand! It was Epic! They even used the Chris Nolan trick where they went full screen for the Action shots! I kinda hope they keep doing that. Because honestly, that part on my BRAND NEW LG CX TV was so mindblowing to look at! It made my eyes have a fucking Orgasm! Wide Screen has that Cinematic flare to it. But when a film of high quality true 4K just goes FULL SCREEN it's just so GRAND! And The Mandalorian it's a beautiful show. Every frame looks Amazing! It's been a short while since a pice of entertainment has had me jumping in my seat like i did with this episode! If i was to rate thos Episode i would read it a SOLID FUCK YEAH! So pumped for the rest of this season. I hope Boba is reunited with his Armor. And i hope he can stay on the show for a bit without dying again. Let's face it... Boba doesn't have a good track reccord. But he is still cool. And right now Mando is just the coolest fucking guy everywhere. Would be nice to have his Coolnes challanged a bit. Mando is like the young guy who's just been great at everything. But he still has a bit to learn... Wich Boba could teach him. Even tough Boba isn't really a true Mandalorian. Or, his Dad wasn't... But i guess we could learn that Boba was accepted into the Creed at some point. But Jango wasn't anything more then a normal dude who stole a Mandalorian armor. Think they kinda just blow him off in Rebels or The Clone Wars... Can't remember where. But Jango was not the real deal. But Boba could have been accepted into the Creed i guess. HYPE!
Have to say this series is doing everything right for me starting with the A1 practical effects which trumps CGI every day of the week, to them not using bobas armour as a cheap nostalgia for die hard fans but intriguing the wider fan base to want to learn more about the cool character that was only in a few scenes and even them having Temuera Morrison on cast opens up so much more possibilities for interesting characters such as captain Rex
Dude, you know the thing called "a paragraph"? Or the "enter key"? Oof, the wall of text hit real hard. I lose interest when I see long comments without indentations. (And this is coming from someone who writes comments just as or even longer than this on TH-cam)
It takes a 1000yrs for the Sarlacc to digest anything... Boba was swallowed whole so would have opportunity to do something plus the sail barge exploding may have affected the Sarlacc.
I feel like Dave and Jon are recanonizing aspects of Legends that he and other people liked (such as Boba surviving). Shame some of the best stuff was butchered by the sequel trilogy.
This episode reminded me of Star Wars Galaxies too! Because of the Krayt dragon and that the dragon actually had a pearl. I remember Krayt hunting for pearls.. ah, good times
The bullet ding on Boba Fett's helmet has always been there, since the original movies. It's one of the core design elements of the armor. They even go to the effort of drawing it for the animated cartoon in the holiday special. So amnesia isn't very likely. At least not recent amnesia. The shot of the helmet being put on the table in this episode felt like a very intentional "See, here's the bullet ding, this is the real deal" kinda shot.
Yeah but you don't want boba to die so soon, he needs at least 2-3 seasons and a video game to show how awesome he is (not just comics). Boba is a cult figure within starwars himself so can't kill him off now he's back otherwise people are gonna be pissed.
I highly doubt boba will reappear. He was only there to show us, yes he IS alive since his armor was used in this episode. Hes an old desert man now, doing his thing, thats all

@@DrViperVideos highly disagree. No point even getting Temura if they aren't gonna be doing anything with his character. If they wanted to say he was alive they would have mentioned it in some dialogue
I love the scene with Mando entering the town with his speeder real slow like a cowboy riding his horse the same way. Even the small stuff referencing westerns is just really cool.
Okay but I'm still crying over how Mando is super protective over anyone coming near the kid but he trusts the eccentric curly haired lady when she just waltzes right up and pulls it out of his bag to dote on it like it's her nephew or something. My heart exploded from the wholesomeness.
Yeah, he knows Aunt Peli is trustworthy. lol He practically sauntered up and then eagerly presented the kid to her in his homemade sling. I imagine him grinning as he does it. I think he loves that someone openly dotes on him.
Just thought I’d throw this out there because you mentioned samurai jack and clone wars. The head of that studio, Tartakovsky, just wrapped up season 1 of his new show, Primal. And it’s really awesome.
At first I wasn't too sure how I felt about Boba Fett coming back, but if ANYONE could make a NON CHARACTER become a CHARACTER it's Dave Filoni. I mean look what the dude did with Darth Maul in Clone Wars. And if Boba Fett is actually in the show....Yooooo AHSOKA TANO BABY. If she's in this show, Imma lose my mind lol. I love the enemies to friends trope, and imagine a Jedi and Mandalorian having to team up after everything that went down in Clone Wars? Muah. Good. Freaking. Drama filled food.
@@ResidentReveler Those conan interviews are great. Timothy always manages to make me laugh during them. To answer your question, it's just what I've heard from generally being on the internet for a while. I suppose my comment is slightly missleading, as aside from what I have personally read and heard, I don't know for a fact if "A lot" of people think he's a douche. He's a celebrity, so they'll always get some hate. But I would assume most people who set out to watch him in interviews, watch them because they like him and not the other way around. Likewise TH-cam comment dislike system works by pushing down disliked comments, so most likely anyone who has negative things to say, are not seen until you scroll really far down. Edit: Just did so, and my theory was indeed correct.
I love how Timothy Olyphant as Mickey in Scream 2 talks about Star Wars. Even in an episode of Justified Boba Fett comes up comes up. Funny how things work out
I just rewatched a few episodes of season 1, primarily the tattooine episode where they go on a mission to kill the rogue Empire sniper lady. If you remember the end, there’s a mysterious cloaked guy that’s observing mando when he leaves the planet. So they technically had a mini teaser for Boba back in season 1
The dent in boba’s helmet was there during the original trilogy. The story around the dent was going to be explored in an unfinished clone wars arc, but you can still find the unfinished scene if you look up “cad bane vs boba fett”
What I loved most about this episode is that it totally could've over saturated us in Baby Yoda. He's one of the most beloved characters in pop-culture at the moment and the writers, directors, producers; all could've drawn away from the actual story of The Mandalorian and just given us the Baby Yoda show for an hour but they didn't. This episode may just be my favorite of the series thus far.
The ding in boba fett’s helmet was caused by a fight between him and cad bane which was cut from the clone wars. Whether it’s still considered canon is up for debate.

There is something, an easter egg from A New Hope in The Marshall that nobody has mentioned yet.
In A New Hope, when Luke and Obi Wan comes across the destroyed sandcrawler that belonged to the jawas who sold the droids to Owen Lars, Luke thinks that the sand people did it because there are bantha tracks and gafferi sticks everywhere but Ben says that it isn't because sand people ride in single file to disguise their numbers
The sand people in this episode rode in single file too
I don’t really think that’s an Easter egg tho, I think that’s just following the established customs of the universe
I don't think that it is.
If it was something like, going to the spice mines of Kessel or saying that Wookies have been a slave race since the end of the clone wars,you might be right.
But Obi-Wan stating that ONCE, 43 years ago and never saying again?
That's an Easter egg
@@dragonweyr44 Nah mate, that's called world building. They only mentioned it once because sand people never were the center of the plot. They are just following the rules that have been established.
@@dragonweyr44 Like these guys said, that’s not an Easter egg. That’s just staying consistent with what Obi-Wan said in A New Hope. I’m pretty sure they’ve walked in single-file in the other movies they’ve appeared in as well.

Interesting, he grew out of the wolverine phase, straight into Aragorn.
The "bullet hole" you mentioned on Boba's helmet was from a Clone Wars episode that was never finished but is still considered canon. Cad Bane and Boba have a falling out and decided to have a high-noon style shoot out. They both headshot each other but Boba's helmet saves him.
I’ve heard from some people that it isn’t considered canon by filoni. And that he said Cad Bane is still alive. I don’t have any references for you though
@@mattearl149 regardless it was there in ESB so I've no idea why Jeremy is going on about amnesia
It's filmed and you can see it right now on youtube so I can accept it. And I think cad bane could survive that somehow.
@@mattearl149 Hmm, wonder if Legends had an origin for the dent?
@@Stringer13ell I know dent was in ESB I’m just not sure if they’re sticking to the cad bane shootout duel scene as being it’s origin. I’m also not sure why Jeremy thinks it’s amnesia. But if I remember right in legends boba Fett gets amnesia after getting out of the pit for the first time but gets his memory back and goes after Han. But I don’t think they’ll do that story
I love the attention the sand people got, I love seeing them act human
Very cool, gave them a culture and customs with feelings about breaking those customs
*Like People
Don't be racist.
But yes.
@James Jones different cultures, plus that's racist to say that are all horrible
People are people and most soldiers conscripted into the third rich wasn't nazis, they were voluntaries or conscripted into the military.
@James Jones and it is kinda racist assuming all sand people are savages just because we seen some bad trides. But it's their culture and distaine for outsiders.
The fact you and I had the same hair cut for years, and when I grew mine out yours grows out too... Brings me faith in humanity, thank you
I liked the fact that the sound the dragon made was what ob1 used to scare the sandpeople away in new hope special edition. Makes sense that it would work now.
That was always the lore explanation, they just didn't put the movie for whatever reason.
omg I didn't realised it at first .. that's so cool detail :D love it, thanks for pointing it out :)
How many times has Timothy Olyphant played a marshal now? He's a marshal in this, in Justified, in Deadwood, and in Fargo. It's a real specific type cast is all I'm saying.
He was a sheriff in “the crazies”
he has that sherif, bad boy cowboy attitude. If i wanted someone to play john marston from RDR2 i would close my eyes and go with timo
Once upon a time in Hollywood as well
I know everyone calls out the "member berries" as being a bad thing, and I disagree. When it gets to a point where it is overbearing and detracting from the story at hand that could be bad, but Filoni hasn't done that yet in any of his shows that I can recall. I think they're tasteful callbacks that remind us that this is part of a larger universe with some larger than life characters such as Boba.
Filoni is the Chosen One.
@@tomsimmons7673 Indeed. One thing I keep thinking over and over with Mando and the Disney movies (the main examples being Rogue One and Rise of Palpatine) is the fact that for some reason the fanservice in Mando feels less phony and cynical and more genuine, loving and world-building.
When Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba show up in Rogue One, literally fucking everyone is going "Why the fuck are these two here?" and I'm also doing "Why does Dr. Evazan look like shit in this?" But in Mandalorian it more often than not feels it's made by people who genuinely love classic Star Wars (also "classic Star Wars" apparently now includes the Prequels. That's where we are now.)
Yes he has. You just don't wanna see it or your just a bandwagon fan who can't see it.
@@projectnerdvana2820 It's a matter of opinion innit. It's not objective like you make it sound.
Naw, i like Filoni, but he did over did the member berries in the Gunslinger.
“This show has an intriguing lead character”
Me: “Yeah we all love Baby Yod- oh he- he meant Mando”
Mandalorian is like a Ubisoft game...
" Do the main missions, But First here's a 100 side quests, level up first"
Its an addictive feeling that brings me back to simpler times
@@sallgoodman2323 "Now I know what you're thinking and the answer is no, I'm not gonna have you climbing radio towers all over the fucking county."
In gaming terms in show terms its star wars star trek.
More like a Rockstar/CD Projekt Game. RDR2 and The Witcher 3.
Mr. Heckles:
I could be a video game...
I loved this episode!! It shows how Mando is a unifying force. Timothy Olyphant was terrific as Cobb Vanth. Mando keeps adding allies into his back pocket, which is very smart considering the warning from the Armorer that as a Mandalorian "you are hunter & prey". Mando needs all the help he can get!!
On the Boba's helmet having a dent in it:
Originally, before the Clone Wars was cancelled, there was a planned episode/arc that would include an Boba Fett going on adventures with and being trained by Cad Bane. By the end of the arc, Bane and Fett would have a stand off resulting in Bane's death and Fett's armor becoming scathed. While it's currently not canon, it definitely was PLANNED to be. You can even watch the unfinished clip is on TH-cam!
@@the-weirdist you mean like upvote is for reddit
That dent in Boba Fett's helmet has been there since we first saw him in Empire FYI.

This is the second of video of yours I've watched, I like what I'm seeing, have a sub. In this time of Covid-19 I can't spend a lot of time with friends, and most of the ones I talk a lot online with are waiting until the whole season is done, but you make it feel like I'm talking with a friend about it.
I loved this episode, and I want to see more Cobb. I've always liked Mr Olyphant's usual mix of charm, menace, and creepy, but here the creepy isn't coming through much at all, and the menace is more subtle. And it really works. I also liked the Sand People getting the humanizing touch. I've killed so many of them in various star wars video games, but now I might actually feel a little bad about it.

*Dhun dhatadhun dhatadhan dha dhan*
Me literally every episode. When they played it TWICE in the actual episode this time I was all "Ah, man, now I know they're not going to do it at the end" Then the ending happens and I got happy again.
clingCLING!
The show literally feels like a KOTOR game with the tone especially now at the end of this episode
This episode is literally pulled straight from a KOTOR mission
2019: "Disney, I'm not going to subscribe to your f***ing streaming service."
2020: "Mandalorian is back..."
Downloads.
Still not giving Disney money to watch one Series.
Sail the high seas we must hmmmmm.
Trade Federation Viceroy: Is it....worth it?
Darth Filoni: I will MAKE IT worth it.
The credits at the end don't get enough (dare I say) credit. I love those "concept art" type images.
The dent in the helmet is most likely from a duel from Cad Bane from unfinished Clone Wars episodes, also the way the tried to kill the Krayt Dragon is the same way it was killed in KOTOR
Krayt Dragon*
It was like 4:30 in the morning when I wrote this and you guys are correcting me on spelling. How about you tell me what f u c k o f f spells.
not canon anymore
Someone else on TH-cam compared this episode to Cowboys and Indians coming together which I never thought of until then.
The side quest was totally Knights of the Old Republic. It’s been years since I played that game but funny once I connected it.
Also the blaster hit on his helmet confirmed it was his Armor. Even the crest on the chest plate was perfect to detail. Filoni and Favreau know exactly what they’re doing to the fans. I’m hoping there is fan service but more subtle kind. I was more canon expansion through more story building. Like Dantooine, that gets a name drop but we’ve never seen it on screen other than the Clone Wars.
The first episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 was fan service done right. Hopefully this will set the stage for what to expect in future episodes.
Thought it was a great episode. Easily the best bit was how the introduce how big of a threat the Krayt Dragon was for the episode “there’s no such thing as an abandoned Sarlaac Pit.... There is if you eat the Sarlaac”
@@the-weirdist that’s what you got out of it?? 😂

Love all the callbacks. Thank you for the great content.
When the ‘Mando’ removed his helmet, I thought it was Billy Bob Thornton looking younger only to realise it was Timothy Olyphant looking ‘older’ 🤣
I thought it Michael Biehn from Terminator and Aliens, as I heard he was supposed to be in this season as a Bounty Hunter
So glad I’m not the only one who thought “Pierce Brosnan?!” when he took the helmet off. 😂
"Jeremy has spoken"
The dent in his helmet has been there since Empire Strikes Back.
Probably the throwback I liked most was related to KOTOR. You have no idea how many times I played through both games.
Speaking from a cinematic viewpoint. The moment when the screen when from the wideframe to fullframe for the shot of the mountain. That gave me goosebumps cause it was done so well
Hey, you totally missed John Leguizamo at the opening sequence.. He was unrecognizable under that makeup
Agreed. Not mentioning the opening few min was sad. That set the tone of severity the Mando puts on finishing the quest he is on to return the child.
@@scty66 He straight up Red Hood'ed the guy.
That is right. Love him in the Spawn film.
He's always had the dent there since Empire.
That dent or bullet hole was always there in Boba’s helmet.
It was so cool the way the show went full screen when the Krayt Dragon came out the cave to show just how big it was
I'm pretty sure the ding in his helmet was in the OG trilogy
Timothy Olyphant....
OUT-standing. 👍
The message of this episode is the same as all Star Wars: kill every large animal you see.
There's always a bigger fish...
It was phenomenal! Timothy was great , writing is great and that ending?! Good stuff
Description typo
"Mano is back"
Cool to hear you, also, played on vanilla SWG. Tatooine was the best planet for hooking up rp, I wonder if we ever gamed together. I played out of Mos Espa quite a bit and will never forget going to a live concert, put on by a PC band with the aid of their astromech special effects droids. The macros you could make for that game were incredible. I spent a lot of time as an Entertainer/Healer/Bounty Hunter. I was so sad when the NGEs ruined the game.
I loved how Mando totally hit Cobb’s jet pack and Boba Fetted him! 😂😂
KOTOR & the Pearl. Lots of memberberries. They should be careful, not everything needs to hark back to the movies. Great episode! Loved the humanization of the Tusken Raiders. Felt bad for the banthas. I loved that fans could tell it wasn't Boba Fett despite having the armor on. Great episode! The formula is starting to show: Mando needs something. Town/Group has a need/problem. Mando has to fix the problem. It's the same story in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9 but in different areas and characters. It only deviates when dealing with the child. But I'm still enjoying it immensely.
My wife asked the same thing, “Is that Pierce Brosnan?”
The dent in boba fetts helmet has been there since ESB, it was revealed in a clip from a Clone Wars episode that didn’t reach final animation due to the show being cancelled, that the dent was actually caused by a shoot out with Cad Bane.
Honestly, the Member berries in this Episode wasn't the wrong kind of Nostialgia. It takes a keen eye to really notice it. I mean The Boba armor was very much in our face. But we've known for a while that Boba would show up at some point. Ever since Season one when we got that tease in Episode 4 or 5? Can't remember... But it was a given that Boba would return. So they where having some fun with us this episode. But Anakin's Pod engine being Not Boba's speeder was a deep cut. I fealt like i should know it when i was looking at it. I fealt like it was a Pod racer engine and it might even be THE one. But i wasn't sure. So these deep cut easter eggs. It would be a different story if they where in our face just pulling a Arny where he keeps yelling ''I'll be back'' in every film he is in... That is a in your face Member berrie. And that's what Member berries are. They are flashing a refferance in our face and being all like ''You member this, you memeber? Member? look? You member? I memeber...''. That's what South Park was really doing with that plotline. Distracting with Nostalgia to not really out effort into it. And here, most wouldn't even relise anything other then Boba's armor and maybe Boba himself. The rest would be too deep for even most STAR WARS fans. So it's not there to distract from a lack of quality or writng. It's simply there to be a reminded that this is still the same Planet and Galaxy that Luke once had to fight his father to save him from the Dark Side. But this Episode was nothing short of FUCKING Amazing! It started out a bit standard. I was hoping that by the end we would get a tease or just something cool. But the final act of the Episode, they went all out. That was Cinematic! It was Grand! It was Epic! They even used the Chris Nolan trick where they went full screen for the Action shots! I kinda hope they keep doing that. Because honestly, that part on my BRAND NEW LG CX TV was so mindblowing to look at! It made my eyes have a fucking Orgasm! Wide Screen has that Cinematic flare to it. But when a film of high quality true 4K just goes FULL SCREEN it's just so GRAND! And The Mandalorian it's a beautiful show. Every frame looks Amazing! It's been a short while since a pice of entertainment has had me jumping in my seat like i did with this episode! If i was to rate thos Episode i would read it a SOLID FUCK YEAH! So pumped for the rest of this season. I hope Boba is reunited with his Armor. And i hope he can stay on the show for a bit without dying again. Let's face it... Boba doesn't have a good track reccord. But he is still cool. And right now Mando is just the coolest fucking guy everywhere. Would be nice to have his Coolnes challanged a bit. Mando is like the young guy who's just been great at everything. But he still has a bit to learn... Wich Boba could teach him. Even tough Boba isn't really a true Mandalorian. Or, his Dad wasn't... But i guess we could learn that Boba was accepted into the Creed at some point. But Jango wasn't anything more then a normal dude who stole a Mandalorian armor. Think they kinda just blow him off in Rebels or The Clone Wars... Can't remember where. But Jango was not the real deal. But Boba could have been accepted into the Creed i guess. HYPE!
Have to say this series is doing everything right for me starting with the A1 practical effects which trumps CGI every day of the week, to them not using bobas armour as a cheap nostalgia for die hard fans but intriguing the wider fan base to want to learn more about the cool character that was only in a few scenes and even them having Temuera Morrison on cast opens up so much more possibilities for interesting characters such as captain Rex
Yeah, I like having easter eggs. It's just a "See if you can spot this" not a "Look kids, it's Luke Skywalker and his friends saving the day again!"
Dude...that’s a lot of words
Dude, you know the thing called "a paragraph"? Or the "enter key"?
Oof, the wall of text hit real hard. I lose interest when I see long comments without indentations. (And this is coming from someone who writes comments just as or even longer than this on TH-cam)
Absolutely LOVE that it’s episodic! We get to see all these great Star Wars stories! And many of those stories could be spun off!
Will be interesting to see how Boba survived being eaten.
It takes a 1000yrs for the Sarlacc to digest anything... Boba was swallowed whole so would have opportunity to do something plus the sail barge exploding may have affected the Sarlacc.
I want a flashback!!!
In legends canon its a whole comic
@@the-weirdist just because its not canon, it doesn't mean it cannot give one an idea of whag happened.
I feel like Dave and Jon are recanonizing aspects of Legends that he and other people liked (such as Boba surviving). Shame some of the best stuff was butchered by the sequel trilogy.
This episode reminded me of Star Wars Galaxies too! Because of the Krayt dragon and that the dragon actually had a pearl. I remember Krayt hunting for pearls.. ah, good times
The dent has been there since the Clone Wars, so no on the amnesia thing lol
Star Wars Galaxies! Love that you mentioned that awesome game. All i could think about during those scenes were memories from SWG pre-cu.
We are in no shave November.
Jeremy will look like Chewbacca by Dec 1st 😂🤣😂🤣
The bullet ding on Boba Fett's helmet has always been there, since the original movies. It's one of the core design elements of the armor. They even go to the effort of drawing it for the animated cartoon in the holiday special. So amnesia isn't very likely. At least not recent amnesia.
The shot of the helmet being put on the table in this episode felt like a very intentional "See, here's the bullet ding, this is the real deal" kinda shot.
Still waiting for your bioshock infinite spoiler review
Spoiler ' - it was good but a let down
Diggin the John Wick vibe on your current style. Also, great vid!
We never got to see Cad Bane vs Boba Fett but maybe they can make it up with Boba fett vs Mando. The HYPE is on
Yeah but you don't want boba to die so soon, he needs at least 2-3 seasons and a video game to show how awesome he is (not just comics). Boba is a cult figure within starwars himself so can't kill him off now he's back otherwise people are gonna be pissed.
I highly doubt boba will reappear. He was only there to show us, yes he IS alive since his armor was used in this episode. Hes an old desert man now, doing his thing, thats all
@@DrViperVideos bruh he’s been tracking them lmao 😂 he was in season 1, too. We just didn’t know it was him, cuz it was his feet. They’re not gonna do the fans and character dirty like that.
@@DrViperVideos highly disagree. No point even getting Temura if they aren't gonna be doing anything with his character. If they wanted to say he was alive they would have mentioned it in some dialogue
What's the life span if Cad's race? Any chance we can see him be an active hunter still in this time period?
I love the scene with Mando entering the town with his speeder real slow like a cowboy riding his horse the same way. Even the small stuff referencing westerns is just really cool.
Okay but I'm still crying over how Mando is super protective over anyone coming near the kid but he trusts the eccentric curly haired lady when she just waltzes right up and pulls it out of his bag to dote on it like it's her nephew or something. My heart exploded from the wholesomeness.
Yeah, he knows Aunt Peli is trustworthy. lol He practically sauntered up and then eagerly presented the kid to her in his homemade sling. I imagine him grinning as he does it. I think he loves that someone openly dotes on him.
Just thought I’d throw this out there because you mentioned samurai jack and clone wars. The head of that studio, Tartakovsky, just wrapped up season 1 of his new show, Primal. And it’s really awesome.
I also hope this show doesn't get berried in fanservice.
I hate getting berried. Takes forever to wash the stains out of your clothes...
1:42 Pierce Brosnan! My thoughts exactly, it was uncanny. 6:35 Based on the helmet I always imagined he had T-formed rows of eyes... creepy :)
At first I wasn't too sure how I felt about Boba Fett coming back, but if ANYONE could make a NON CHARACTER become a CHARACTER it's Dave Filoni. I mean look what the dude did with Darth Maul in Clone Wars. And if Boba Fett is actually in the show....Yooooo AHSOKA TANO BABY. If she's in this show, Imma lose my mind lol. I love the enemies to friends trope, and imagine a Jedi and Mandalorian having to team up after everything that went down in Clone Wars? Muah. Good. Freaking. Drama filled food.
I think Rosario Dawson's playing Ahsoka.
@@barbara832001 that's fcking PERFECT casting holy shit.
Hey jeremy that little "bullet hole" in bobas helmet has always been there in the original trilogy.
This episode reminded me of KOTOR 1, where you have to take out a Krayt Dragon.

Timothy Olyphant is great. A lot of people seem to think he's a douche, but he's genuinely so goddamn nice.
Who says that?
Most comments in his interviews, especially in Conan, are positive.
@@ResidentReveler Those conan interviews are great. Timothy always manages to make me laugh during them.
To answer your question, it's just what I've heard from generally being on the internet for a while. I suppose my comment is slightly missleading, as aside from what I have personally read and heard, I don't know for a fact if "A lot" of people think he's a douche. He's a celebrity, so they'll always get some hate.
But I would assume most people who set out to watch him in interviews, watch them because they like him and not the other way around. Likewise TH-cam comment dislike system works by pushing down disliked comments, so most likely anyone who has negative things to say, are not seen until you scroll really far down.
Edit: Just did so, and my theory was indeed correct.
I love how Timothy Olyphant as Mickey in Scream 2 talks about Star Wars. Even in an episode of Justified Boba Fett comes up comes up. Funny how things work out
I just rewatched a few episodes of season 1, primarily the tattooine episode where they go on a mission to kill the rogue Empire sniper lady. If you remember the end, there’s a mysterious cloaked guy that’s observing mando when he leaves the planet.
So they technically had a mini teaser for Boba back in season 1
06:13 I thought the dent in the helmet was from Boba Fett's skirmish with Darth Vader in that Lengends comic book (is it now Cannon?)
I really should be asleep
The dent in boba’s helmet was there during the original trilogy. The story around the dent was going to be explored in an unfinished clone wars arc, but you can still find the unfinished scene if you look up “cad bane vs boba fett”
Alternative title: Kylo Ren reacts to a better Star Wars instalment.

@@Fourtgru123 😂 yeah
I absolultey LOVE the style and the vibe of this series
Speaking of Timothy Olyphant, check out the Deadwood Movie.
The crazies better
What I loved most about this episode is that it totally could've over saturated us in Baby Yoda. He's one of the most beloved characters in pop-culture at the moment and the writers, directors, producers; all could've drawn away from the actual story of The Mandalorian and just given us the Baby Yoda show for an hour but they didn't. This episode may just be my favorite of the series thus far.
Anyone else looking for their KOTOR lightsaber hilt when the Krayt Dragon pearl dropped?
@@the-weirdist If you played KOTOR, you know what I mean.
The ding in boba fett’s helmet was caused by a fight between him and cad bane which was cut from the clone wars. Whether it’s still considered canon is up for debate.
Haha it’s 3:00 am I don’t care I’m gonna stay up and watch
