Production Crew: So Mr. Filoni, you've worked on prequels, clone wars, rebels, mandalorean. What elements would you like to have in your episode of Boba?
Dave: Yes.
XD Yeessss...
Producer: That's alot to fit in, Dave. Is there anyone whose time we can limit, in order fit everyone into this Boba series.
Dave: Boba
All of them. All of them!
Just need Omega and the Bad Batch to round it out
Goooood goooooood
“You can choose only one.”
Armored Grogu with Yoda’s lightsaber: “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.”
Grogu: BET
You know we're gonna see Grogu with both on Mando S3, because last episode pointedly mentioned that someone can be both Jedi and Mandalorian
I think this is where Luke gets to see first hand the flaw in the old Jedi formula. And maybe that's the point?
From the sequels Ben is said to be Luke’s first student so we know what choice Grogu will make.
@@Caedus696 i think they might retcon the sequels
"It's Filoni's episode. Everything makes sense now." YES. YES IT DOES.
Can you imagine the Joy in Ahsoka's heart when Luke told her that Anakin redeemed himself in the end.
How did i never thought of that ! You're right ! She must have felt so happy/sad/relieved at the same time.... Man how i wish we could see this conversation !!!
@@TheGreenDee hopefully we will in the Ahsoka Series 🙏🏼
Oh wow never thought of that. That’s heartwarming 😮
omg bro facts
When Luke and Ahsoka are talking, she looks so much at peace.
They talked. Luke told her what went down on Death Star 2. And... Dare I say... Ahsoka wept.
Jay’s casual expressionless slide back when he first saw Cad Bane is the best thing I’ve seen in years
FACTS!!!!
Hands down one of the best surprise cameos in a long time
I saw it hit his face the same way it hit me. I said, out loud in a room filled with nobody, “Same Jay, Same.”
“Yes it does Adam, yes it does”
19:00
Can y'all imagine how fast we'd have been laughed out of a Star Wars Celebration a few years ago if we'd have suggested we'd get a live action Luke Skywalker hanging out with Ahsoka Tano while training a baby Yoda during a story about Boba Fett teaming up with another Mandalorian to take on the Pikes to defend Jaba the Hutt' thrown which he'd stolen from Bib Fortuna and that all of this was low-key setting up a team up to take on... Grand Admiral Fucking Thrawn?
We'd have been commited to an insane asylum for the safety of ourselves and others
Yeah wtf goin on like it’s been an insane 3 years since the abomination trilogy 😂
The Return to Sanity seems insane in a world that has gone crazy. If you had said they were going to make an Episode 7 where Mark Hamill didn't have a single line of dialogue and you never have a scene with Han, Luke and Leia in the same room in 2010, they would have laughed you off the stage at any Scifi Convention ANYWHERE.
@@TheArthoron so true
You forgot about Cad Bane. Lol
I agree on everything except confronting Thrawn. The best Dave Filoni could've do to respect the character and his story - don't make him just "endgame" villain. Everyone who have read Heir to the Empire trilogy and 2 new ones knows that Thrawn isn't evil. His ultimate goal was protecting his people and galaxy as a whole.
I love how everyone's reaction was the same when Cad shows up. You watch Cobb completely destroy four dudes in a quick draw at the start of the episode, but Bane walks into town and everyone immediately starts praying he doesn't kill Cobb.
Truth!
I certainly hope he survives. Yes deputy reminded me of the obviously baby doublecrossing, bounty hunter in the episode when Fennec was shot. (I was glad he was shot.)
my thought exactly
Yep. You can immediately tell which reactors have seen CW and which haven't just from the far off site of Cad MFing Bane
And also Cad Bane referrs to Boba as a "cold blooded killer", reinforcing that Boba has his respect in some regard
"How did they get that thing on top of there?!"
Pure, unadulterated, crackhead determination. It is the hallmark of the Jawa species.
🤣
They are truly the MacGuyvers of the SW universe
Im just waiting for a scene at some point where a sandcrawler is just hauling a star destroyer behind it.
@@carlzerris6566 Damn. That would be awesome.
@@carlzerris6566 if there's any species that can do it, I trust the Jawas to do it
The fact my mind was blown over and over again every 2 minutes throughout the episode
Yup! 5 seconds in: "omg!" 5 minutes in: "OMG!" 10 minutes in: "OH. MY GOD!!!" And it just kept going from there
"NOOOOO!!NOO WAYYY!NOOO!STOP IT, DISNEY!!NOOOOOO!!HOLY Shit......... o:"
Love how they are doing justice to so many big characters.
YES !!
"Yes! You don't mess with Timothy Olyphant!"
*Cad Bane appears for 2 seconds*
".... Please don't kill Timothy Olyphant."
Adam watching Din and the Armorer in Ep. 5 : "Training Montage!!!"
Dave Filoni in Ep.6: "Hold my beer..."
*Hold my hat
I love how Ashoka calls him "Master Luke." I think calling him "Master Skywalker" is just a bit too much for her.
This is definitely a day of reactions, going through them all today
SAME HERE BRO literally waiting for the next and next haha
Seriously!
Same! And they've all been great.
+4
Same, something i don't do in one day XD
Din Djarin, Baby Yoda, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, Cobb Vanth, and Cad Bane all sharing the screen during a Boba Fett show... Dave Filoni needs a statue in his honor.
I’ve never clicked on anything faster
🤣🤣🤣 I hesitated for a moment!
Same…….
Yup same
Not me refreshing you tube for an hour.... 😂😂😂😂
Yep.
"I'm a friend of the Family" made me cry a lot more than I thought it would
I’m always astounded how like 6 or 7 notes from a French horn playing the force theme can invoke so many damn emotions in me… bless you Williams
It's crazy! I was 7 when I saw Star Wars in theaters back in '77 and it still just causes such a visceral reaction.
Ugh same! Plus some beautiful scenery. That and yoda’s theme gave me chills. Brought me right back to OG sstar wars for a few moments.
I was crying at the end of ROS.
@@JnEricsonx That got me at the end of RotJ 40 years during the funeral pyre scene. Still gets me every time.
The music will get me every single time when nothing else does.
Luke's ultimatum here is essentially the same one Yoda gave him "Family or Training," He knows the right answer is Family
Its great that its all mirrored,
Dom approves👍
Didn’t Luke lose an arm when he went for family over training?
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 Lost an arm, saved a galaxy (eventually)
@@ethanalspencer7294 When he went to fight Vader against Yoda’s direction, as Yoda said he needed more training, IIRC, he ending up with one of the most famous losses in fiction. Yeah he saved the Galaxy later…. After more training.
Grogu will live for 900 years. Let him spend 40-50 years with Din and then he can train as a Jedi. Besides Luke said he was remembering it more than he was learning it. Grogu probably just needs to do finals, throw his little cap in the air, and walk across the stage. Bam, bam, bam, and done. He can then avenge who ever kills his Armor-Daddy, take back the Dark Saber, and rule Mandalore for another 500+ years and then retire and go to Dagoba and live fat on all the frogs he wants. Life well lived.
Sounds like a solid plan. Bring on Yodalorian
The frog fetish explains why Yoda went to Dagobah lol.
Definitely sounds like the Winchester plan in Shawn of the Dead. Is a solid plan.
There’s a small part of me that wonders if “the Mandolorian” that the overall story about is actually Grogu, not Din.
@@spacemanspiff01 Especially after last episode made a big deal out of Tar Vizla's history as both Jedi and Mandalorian
“that looks like a top hat”
“yes it does adam.
yes
it
does”
I died😂
Filoni is literally one of us. its crazy. They havent disapointed ONCE in 3 seasons so far.
This is the first season of Boba Fett though... lol
@@Rated314 he meant the mandalorian and boba fett
Dave is the chosen one
@@Rated314 Let's be real The Mandalorian and tbobf is all one big show. If they made a second spin-off for bo katan it would be this way too. For my own sanity I choose to think of it more like a tree with branches!
It's sort of like different chapters of one book.
A year later, I wouldn't mind Luke being able to tap into Grogu's mind and see how well Grogu did fighting and flipping, knee sliding and force shielding Bo and Din. Luke would be very proud
This episode was all tears. You, me, everyone. Pure magic
Tears? What tears? I'M not crying, YOU'RE crying!
You guys sobbing as Luke runs with a Grogu backpack is a perfect example of why I love Star Wars
I was already crying and then Adam said “Luke and Ahsoka are friends” and I just started bawling.
Thank you both so much for this… What an incredible episode. You guys are the best. 🧡
Same same!🥲🥲🥲
She's more like Luke's auntie, and it's obvious Luke looks up to her and wants to spend more time with her.
Ashoka basically his surrogate aunt, i really wanted the either in motion pic / book format about how both of them met
If Anakin wouldn't have gone to the dark side, she might have been Luke or Leias Master :)
I was like is this 2020 December all over again
No shame in the fact that I cried like a baby when Ahsoka and Luke talked 😭. THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD.
I want more of them talking and reminiscing. Maybe in Ashoka's show.
I just love the idea of the Tuskens looking around like, "Hey, where did it's head go?" and it cuts to the jawas SOMEHOW having stolen the entire skull without anyone noticing.
Jawas are the Carmen Sandiego of Star Wars. They can steal anything.
Hahahahahaha ❤
@@scienceandponies "How in the world did (low bass) Jawas get that on there??
Seriously, I loved at your comment. Gold. XD
@@mrenygma181
"Agents! We've got a new case for you."
"What is it this time, chief?"
"Jawas just stole Beggar's Canyon."
"They...they what?"
"And...yes, it looks like they also just grabbed Tatooine's second sun and the concept of hyperspace."
I can see about a hundred jawas sneaking around in the dead of night with a whole lotta rope and pulleys and antigrav lifters, trying to be sneaky and not giving it away with their constant chatter. And good for them that they pulled it off. Let the jawas get away with something once in a while.
I am a BIG believer in the saying "It's not how you start, it's how you finish" and this Show so far is really proving that that is indeed true.
Well the sad thing is, the two good things about the show barely shows the main character
I’ve been enjoying it overall, yeah it started off slow but I was fine with that, I don’t need loads of action and big cameos to be invested.
For me the only real misstep was that chase scene through the streets with the Mods that felt clunky and not up to the standard we’ve come to expect from these shows. But then we got cool stuff like Boba taking out the biker gang with Slave 1 so I’m pretty satisfied overall.
Now we shall see if Boba has what it takes after all. The gauntlet has been thrown. If he wants to rule, he has to do to the Pikes what he did to the stormtroopers in Mandalorian. And if that happens, I think most people will forgive the slow start.
Yeah, it's finishing as Mandalorian Season 3 instead of Boba Fett Season 1.
I'm wondering how you think about this now
We really owe a lot to Favreau and Filoni for constantly bringing about the unexpected.
The Grogu luke story wasn't that unexpected after the last episode tho and they have to keep Asoka in the game somehow with her show coming up and all that.
Cad turning up was just a matter of when rather than if, they need an Antagonist with reputation (who's already canon) and he makes the most sense. Like i've been waiting for him since the Pykes showed up, this is basically a Mafia-Western and he's like THE gunslinger in star wars (and probably the one who killed the Tuskens). I'm really looking forward to see if he and Fennec meet and how that goes down.
Yodas saber was a bit of a surprise for me because I thought he lost it in the Senate fight with Palpatine but I guess ofc Luke has it now.
I remember a few moments of CGI in some earlier episodes looked a little iffy, and I couldn’t help but think “what happened to the CGI budget from The Mandalorian?”
Then Luke showed up and I said to myself “ohhhh so that’s where it went”
Same. I love the show, but there's definitely been a few scenes that didn't exactly look up to par. But hey, if they were going to put all the money in one episode this was the one to do it!
This show can make a 45 old man feel just as happy as he did that on that Christmas morning when he found an NES under the tree. The extreme joy I felt this morning was something that I wasn't expecting until Season 3 of Mando.
You too huh? Seriously, right down to the NES.
@@JnEricsonx 😁
@@JnEricsonx The NES was first time I ever shot for the moon with my Christmas list and I figured that I had 5% of getting one.
@@John_Locke_108 I don't even think I'd really asked. But my grandmother-RIP, had 3 sets of grandkids, so that Xmas morning probably 1989-3 NESs. I'm still grateful for Nintendo Power giving any subscribers a free Final Fantasy guide or I'd have been screwed.
I was yelling: “ dammit Favroni!!!! Are you trying to give a 50 yr old a freakin heart attack ??? “
The actor playing the deputy is Boba Fett's stunt double.
I'd like to formally thank Jay for being so validating. I, too, started crying when that antenna popped up and didn't stop crying for the entirety of this episode. You guys are always the best.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you tie the prequels, the OT, the new trilogy and the animated series into a single episode.
Dave Filoni you mad mad genius.
Luke: “You must let go of your attachments”
Also Luke: “I will fight with my friends against the Empire”
Ya. I read someone's comment that luke is testing grogu like yoda tested him by giving hima choice to complete his training or go and help his friends. I hope that's true
That was his failing in Empire Strikes Back. He didn't technically do much in Return of the Jedi. Besides save Han Solo. But in a deleted scene it seems he had to go to Tatooine anyway, to build his lightsaber. Killed two birds with one stone. Then he left his friends to confront Darth Vader as a final test from Yoda.
I'm not sure exactly if Luke is an actual Jedi Master from leaving his training. I think it's still debatable to this day.
@@GacMan47 I don`t think there is a specific route to becoming a Jedi master consisting of training for X number of years under a senior Jedi teacher. I would guess becoming a `master` has more to do with how in harmony with The Force the Jedi becomes. You could probably achieve that on your own.
Luke would not exist if Anakin were not attached to Padme
@@GacMan47 yoda says before he dies "nothing more is there for you to learn " ...hes a jedi master
"Timothy Olyphant: Wind blown perfection on the the deserts of Tatooine."
You two just quietly crying for the better part of an hour. I love it.
Their joy brought tears to my eyes.
Jay almost crying the whole episode was something I needed! This reaction plus this episode was a masterpiece! Thank you Dave, Adam and Jay! 😍
His reaction was so genuine ❤️❤️
Ever since season 2 finale of Mando I've been saying we need a Jedi Academy series. Let's go Disney, get on it.
Skywalker Academy merch is on sale in Disney parks.
Shakes fist at sky “DAMN YOU DAVE FILONI” I waited up for this reaction. You guys delivered as always. Ugh. Emotionally exhausted.. I need a nap now.. #StarWarsTherapy
Cad Bane is so perfectly TERRIFYING. I love it
I love Adam's reactions. He seems like a such pure, childlike (in all the best possible ways) guy :)
I also like how every reactor I've seen is like : "Kill the deputy, instead of Cobb!"
My fav part is when R2-D2 is on screen Jay says: *You sons of bitches*🤣🤣
If someone had told me that I would ever see a live action adaptation of star wars, where Ashoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, cad bane, r2d2, boba Fett and other characters would be seen in one episode, I would have said, dream on. Never in 1 million years would I have thought that would happen. I'm excited to see what else happens in the future. Anyway, I am speechless and happy. Thank you Dave and John for making Star Wars, Star Wars again. 🙏♥️
If you asked an eight-year-old to describe the plot, it would sound like the wildest fan fiction. That's not a criticism, I think it's impressive how they keep pulling this off.
Everyone upvote this original comment so it beats out the copycat above.
I’ve never heard a better description of Timothy Olyphant than wind blown perfection. We need a Cobb Vanth spin-off. It’d be like Justified/Deadwood in space and I am 100% here for it
When we get to see Grogu make his decision I'd love to see him stand on one leg and yoink both. Luke was literally just teaching him about balance. Sometimes the student teaches the master!
Part of me thinks it's a test. In the original films and expanded stuff, Luke really didn't follow with the old Jedi teachings. He mentioned it feeling more like Grogu was remembering rather than being taught.
Hopefully it's just him seeing if Grogu knows anything about the old Jedi ways.
I hope he takes the armor, gets the darksaber from Mando, and we get the greatest buddy cop show ever made.
@@brandontaylor3252 the darksaber is too big for grogu... also why? he could just have Yoda's saber and be better off due to it being designed for his size.
The darksaber hilt is so long it would be dragging on the ground if Grogu was to sheathe it on his belt lmao.
@@Otakahunt let the barrage of adorable fan art commence!
The way they realise it’s Cad Bane and immediately know if there’s a fight Cobb isn’t walking away from it
Cobb is literally my favorite. I didn’t know who Cad was, and boy do I regret not being scared earlier. If I knew Cobb didn’t have a chance I would’ve freaked out more.(I finished the season now I know, but it was still cool.)
I like that I did NOT have to know Bane to realize Vanth was gonna loose, that’s good filmmaking.
Two things:
1) There's no way that they just kill of Cobb like that. I can see him being wounded and unable to use his good shooting arm while the warning for him and the town is the dead deputy. Cad just wanted to give a solid warning to stay out of the Pyke's way.
2) I really believe that Luke wants Grogu to choose both or at least the chainmail and will give him the lightsaber. Luke has attachments out the WAZOO and I can see this being a total Jedi Mindgame to see where Grogu is at mentally.
All in all this was a really fun episode. I'm really impressed with how the CGI for Luke has improved. Great reaction!
Hey, the maker of the Darksaber was Jedi and Mandalorian. WHy not do it again.
Really hoping it’s just a test from Luke
I'm hoping for the same. Maybe even a little similar to the (deleted) fake out test for Rey? (I know, invoking the sequels, BUT that was actually an interesting scene and should have stayed in, in my opinion!). That said I'm also kind of worried it's intended to be a kind of set up for WHY Luke's temple ultimately fails (and why he is so bitter/jaded) - because he tries to hard to cling to the old ways, when he should KNOW BETTER. (And I blame the sequels for forcing their hand that way.) I also wonder if Ahsoka's little 'trust your instincts' was her trying to nudge him in the right direction.
Interestingly, in the last episode, I also wondered if the Armorer was also kind of subtly trying to nudge Din in the right direction too and also setting forth a test/quest for him.
I love that Luke is pretty much teaching Miyagi-Do karate to Grogu.
"Hi Dave!" - from Vanth's return, to Luke with Grogu and with Ahsoka, to the Bane reveal, was there really any doubt it could be someone other than Master Filoni? I think not. Also as much as I love Ludwig Göransson's musical work, hearing those classic John Williams themes was just SO freaking good.
*shakes hands in the air* FILONI !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
I had never seen Cad Bane before this episode and he was terrifying. I was genuinely scared, it was weird. What a powerful introduction!
I’ve seen everything he’s in and you’re very very right to be afraid.
Pre Boba Fett he was the most feared and probably highest paid Bounty hunter in the Galaxy because he was the guy you wanted to guarantee a job was done you hired Cad Bane he was the bounty hunter Darth Sidious hired for a job to break into the Jedi temple and he succeeded there was never a job he was hired for that he didn’t complete
1970s TV announcer voice:
*IT'S THE BOBA FETT GROUNDHOG'S HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!* This holiday join BOBA and all this friends as you watch this episode on repeat!
Its 2023....and i still watch this episode of these two. Such joy☺️☺️☺️
I don’t care that boba was barely in it. I can’t believe how good this is, it’s made with so much passion.
I know! Another full meal of an episode. And even more variety than last week.
Same I don't care at all. It's not like the story was very interesting.
Actually this was much better than last week😂 he had zero screen time last episode 😂🤣 I don't think of this as a boba fett series but a expanded mandoverse.
Last night, out of pure nostalgia, I was watching reactions to Mando S2 finale and I was thinking to myself "I remember that feeling, this episode made my whole week, what a great episode..." and then today I just got what is probably the most Star Wars character per episode ratio ever for a live action show. Just give Favreu and Filoni the freedom to do movies and let Disney just cash in. Do it!
I love that characters how just can come in casually with no pomp and circumstance.
Like Starkiller could just walk in at this point
I think I would lose my shit. He's my age now, it's been a rough time frame from TFU....I'd say go for it.
@@JnEricsonx Sam and Dave are undoubtedly still in contact with each other
@@JnEricsonx Sam and Dave are undoubtedly still in contact with each other
Imagine if cal shows up
The moment the flat brimmed hat showed up, I mourned Cob Vanth
Cad freaking Bane wow he looks so awesome in live action, of course Corey Burton brings the character to life with his iconic voice but honestly the physical actor (who I assume is most likely a stunt double) was surprisingly very accurate and faithful to how he was animated in both Clone Wars and Bad Batch, the actor both had to wear a bunch of layered clothing AND extensive prosthetics but was able to bring across just how ruthless and imposing Bane can be, the combination of that with Burton’s voice fully brings Cad to life and imo it worked practically perfectly
I love that Cobb Vanth is essentially just Star Wars Raylan Givens.
Gotta say, the pure emotional silence during the Luke talking about Yoda scene is so amazing to watch. Moments like that show how much these characters really mean. Great reaction guys!
The speed difference between Cobb, Cad Bane, and the deputy is ridiculous. First it shows Cobb take out three piles before they even draw their gun. Then when the deputy tries to pull his gun, Cobb already has his unholstered, but Cad has already fired. The difference between an amateur, an expert, and a master.
The Boba Fett cameo in this episode was the best out of all of them totally
I rarely cry or get emotional on shows and movies. But the moment when the force theme started to play... damn, they got me.
Same
The episode did not make me cry. Your reactions did. I could feel your passion come gushing right through my screen. Dammit... gentlemen, you are all of us.
Man if Mando had actually told Ahsoka "I got a lightsaber. Suck on that, nerd"....I would have lost my shit...
I spent this whole episode screaming "JUST DO THE THING!!! :D" at the TV
Thanks guys. You didn't say even it once! lol
This was a great episode. Im not even mad that we didnt really see Bobbafett for 2 episodes. I am really liking what they are doing with current Star Wars on Disney Plus. I also feel like Grogu is a major player in the future.
BEST FRICKING EPISODE!! Ughhhhh I can’t get enough of it….amazing reactions as always can’t wait for more.
This truly is Star Wars
@@deathking1019
Indeed it is.
The technical work of doing Luke in daylight with natural shadows all over him is.. *chef's kiss*. I feel like your Digital Effects resume goes up in value if you just say you watched this show.
Cad Bane has to be an old man by this point. And he’s still an excellent shot
at the 6:00 mark when he says "It's worth more than your town" you can't convince me that is not CAD BANE's VOICE!! That is Cad Bane undercover to get info on Cobb.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION ALL DAY! THIS EPISODE MADE ME SCREAM!
But to be real, seeing Ahsoka and Luke interact in live action made my brain explode. I do however hope that we get to see how they meet at some point and talk about Anakin.
Luke looked WAY better! Hiring that deepfake guy definitely helped. However, there were a couple of times that his face and voice didn’t match. Also, those conversations Luke had with Grogu, shouldn’t he have already had those conversations? Why wait so long? I guess it’s for storytelling.
Oh, and…..CAD…..BANE! Jay the way you sat back in your chair at 19:01 when you realized who it might be made me howl with laughter lol!
Also…that Boba Fett cameo was pretty sweet….
ALSO ALSO, I can’t say enough of how amazing the music is. I love that Master Jedi Luke theme that plays whenever he uses the force like when he was destroying those droids last season. It’s the music that plays when he is lifting the frogs. It sounds so epic and haunting.
It might not be perfect-but we really don't give a fuck.
That fuckin' deputy distracted Cobb. That split glance to the deputy made such a difference. I would like to see another stand off between Cobb and Cad in the future.
9:48 , jay looks like his heart is literally breaking apart.
The feels
Empire Strikes Back parallel, Grogu picks the lightsaber. But later perceives Mando in danger. Grogu leaves promising he'll return someday to complete his training. Luke comes full circle telling Grogu only a fully trained Jedi knight with the force as his ally can prevail...
You guys’ reaction to Ahsoka was everything! And the music that played while Luke and Ahsoka talked was the same theme that played when Luke crooonched those dark troopers. A friend I think it’s called. Fitting. Here are the two ways I think it’ll go whether Grogu’s choice is revealed next episode or in Mando s3. One: he’ll choose the armor and reunite with Din maybe at the end of the episode or in Mando s3. Then he’ll be trained by Ezrah later. Maybe in the Ahsoka series. Or he’ll take the light saber and train for a while more while Din does his thing. Then he’ll have a force vision of Din in trouble like Luke did and go off to help him. I’d prefer he pick the armor, but I could live with either choice. But I need like 3 hours of Luke just training Grogu and others.
I think the way luke worded things reveals he wants Grogu to pick the armour in order to train him. Why would he want grogu to be detached from others.
I think he was just laying out the cards on the table.
This might be my favorite reaction - that weepy, dewy eyed look is EXACTLY the look I had through the first 20 or so minutes of this episode. The funny thing is I had made myself a cup of tea, and decided to make some of my Republic of Tea 'Mandalorian' themed tea (I bought myself the whole set for Christmas) and decided on the Luke+Grogu brand. It was perfect :) And at that moment when the screen just cut - almost anticlimactically - to Luke sitting there meditating I almost dropped the mug entirely and my eyes just completely filled with tears. My heart almost stopped seeing Luke and Ahsoka just standing there hanging out and I WANT MORE. I agree, I want that hour long talk about his father, lol. Hell, we know Hayden is around for Kenobi and Ahsoka, he should just drop by for tea ;)
I think there are some fair criticisms to make of the focus of the show in general (I think Boba deserves his own arc/story which has now been sidelined) but so much of this made me so happy. I will say one thing that did NOT make me happy was the pain of watching Ahsoka and Luke repeat the mistakes of the old Jedi Order here. Ahsoka's musings on Grogu missing Din are so similar to the fears of the Council regarding Anakin missing his mother, and they went about it the wrong way. Obviously it's great that Luke is giving Grogu a choice but I'm very much a 'why not both' girl, and especially coming from somebody for whom balancing his attachments and the Jedi way saved the galaxy it's just...sigh. (And I get they kind of have to do this because they have to basically set up the new Academy for failure...it makes sense that Luke might try to fall back on re-emulating some ideal instead of trusting his own instincts, but it hurts to watch.)
Funny thing is , when this show started, my big hope for a cameo was Qi'ra. And here we got Ahsoka, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth and Artoo. Oh,and Cin Dralig ;) How many Order 66 reenactments are we up to now?
Let's say Grogu does choose Mando. Does that mean next week Luke returns to Tatooine and helps Boba and Mando out? Because I would dig seeing Boba and Luke interact after what happened in Return of the Jedi.
A little Easter Egg. Not only did both Timothy Olyphant (Cobb Vanth) and W. Earl Brown (Weequay Proprietor) star in "Deadwood" together, they were both a part of the "Scream" franchise. Brown being Gale Weathers' cameraman in "Scream" and Olyphant being one of the two Ghostface killers in "Scream 2".
W. Earl was also in an episode in Justified!
Best Star Wars content since the OG trilogy
We asked them to just “Do the thing” and they’ve delivered
You can already see why Luke failed though. I know that the sequel storyline is badly written, but Luke's demand that Grogu make a choice, right at the start of his training, mimics the Jedi and how they treated Anakin.
There have been so many instances already where the sequel trilogy has been contradicted by 'The Mandalorian' + 'The Book of Boba Fett' that I doubt it's the same timeline. Heck, the sequel trilogy was so poorly managed that it managed to contradict itself multiple times.
@@ro4eva Fair point, and I honestly don't much care for it, but the sequel trilogy can burn in a fire. Just give me Din and Boba and I'll be happy.
There is a difference; Luke gave Grogu the choice knowing that Grogu's internal conflict would violate the rules of the Jedi eventually, as he'd either break his vows or be conflicted for the rest of his life...*if* he chooses to go with Mando. Luke can't know what the best choice for him is, only Grogu can.
The Jedi didn't really give Anakin a choice; Luke tried to explain why the choice was needed, accepted Grogu's decision, and clearly taught Grogu a little bit of the force in the meantime, presumably enough to protect himself.
On the other hand the Jedi code is still *complete* nonsense. If anything I wish we had a sequel trilogy that recognized that, and was instead focused on how the Jedi *and* Sith codes were both self-destructive and attempted a synthesis of them (and other force techniques), trying to stay true to the themes of star wars while engaging with the philosophies in a deeper way.
Instead we get the *sentiment* that the past was broken, with no *substance* in the second film.
Watching Jay hold back happy man tears the whole time made my day. What an episode! :)
Bro i was NOT expecting Ahsoka to appear. It was so out of nowhere that i jumped of my chair. I dont remember seeing an episode of any series ever that threw so much awesome stuff at me at the same time. What a time to be a Star Wars fan!
Can you imagine we could actually get to see a live-action Fennec vs. Cad Bane fight, round 2? I can just imagine them having a conversation and Bane mentions Omega, prompting Boba to then ask Fennec later, who is Omega...then end scene cut to black.
I think that would be a good way of doing it. I want to see Omega in this show but it’s too soon. They have to carve out her story in Bad Batch just a bit more, but just a mention and a cut to black like you said would be a good, and also kinda funny.
It's crazy to think that we have a serious chance of Luke and Boba running into eachother and the idea of that is awesome
Now THAT is going to be a milestone episode. Cannot wait.
13:24 .... Grogu ... Luke ... that iconic music playing .... (through the tears) ... I am falling in love with STAR WARS once again
I rate this 2 thank you's ... I have to thank you as well
That episode did not slow down. Boom, Cobb Vanth. Boom, R2D2. Boom, Grogu and Luke. BOOM, AHSOKA. BOOM, CAD FUCKING BANE??? IT DID NOT STOP. My heart was beating so fast, I was screaming. Thank you Dave Filoni.
This was absofuckinglutely AMAZING!!! Luke looked so good. The possibilities are endless what they could do now.
Your reaction warmed my heart
Luke forcing Grogu to choose makes sense because after witnessing the result of his father's fall into attachment, he's a purist. Wearing armour creates doubt in the mind of a fighter who trusts the force to guide them. Maybe there are exceptions, but surely it's fundamentally at odds with being a Jedi to wear armour? It hinders motion and fosters an overreliance on being protected from potentially fatal mistakes. See the video of someone trying to do a backflip using a safety mat - on the final attempt with the mat taken away, they succeed in doing the backflip.
I was waiting all morning to see your reactions to this! Never have I been more excited!
Also, when Ashoka says to look “ so much like your father” I think she is referring to Grogu, how he has attachment and maybe he must walk a different path then the traditional Jedi, because Ashoka knows but Luke has to make the choice to let Grogu choose
You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this. I apologize for cheating on you with other reactions, but this episode was just NUTS and I had to know others had the same feels. Watching this episode I had so many "Jay is gonna lose it here" moments lol
Love y'all 🤘😁
Jay saying “This might go okay” the moment before Cad Bane shows up.
'Space Avengers' is on point - Boba fett is bringing together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when he needed them to, to fight the battles that- wait wrong franchise :D
Chapter 7 has gotta be everyone in Team Boba kicking some ass and being awesome
Literally had chills the entire episode. THE ENTIRE EPISODE
Gosh Jay... I didn't cry when I watched the show but watching you made me cry!!! I hope they show a flashback where we can see Luke and Ahsoka talking.
New T-Shirt: "THINK IT THROUGH!!"😁
I cried along with you guys. It's so heartwarming to see fans willing to express that kind of deep emotion.
"This might go okay..."
Right before the winds of change and a mysterious figure starts to appear in the distance.
From the desert comes a stranger…
I love that no matter how many times he’s seen/heard him do it before, Adam seems to just love it whenever Jay does the whole Patreon bit
cob vanth, mando, r2, grogu, luke, ashoka, cad bane. came to watch jay and adam's heads explode. was not disappointed.
