@@mccleandazza4618I have no problem with Bo she's the Mandalorian we have seen the most of in Star wars. I have a problem with them giving us a 40 minute arc of Pershing.
I really enjoy when they show us the world in mundane ways. Although I always want more Mando, as long as the story is done well, which I believe the Dr. Pershing story was, I’m interested. Just makes the world that much more deep.
Yeah I like that they are taking their time setting up the galaxy for the sequel trilogy, and making it feel plausible and beleivable. That was probably my biggest issue with the ST is how little time was given to world building I was confused how the galaxy got to where it was in the ST.
It's not even a filler. It shouldn't have been in the mandalorian, it should have been a spin off short. It had no relevance what so ever to the rest of the episode and messes up the phasing of the season.
100% agree. The chat on the other side is just terrible. People are spamming absolute nonsense bullshit because they are inmature to understand that everything is a build up and star wars is more than skywalkers and lightsabers. Its ignorant af thats why I close the chat 90% of the time and react with theory. I'm a fan of Theory but I also hate his fans.
@@LOKl. Yeah I prefer when star wars spends time with the smaller everyday people and not larger than life powerful people like jedi, sith, and mandalorians.
I'm not quite there yet. The train was too long Like I didn't actually need to watch them get on the train. Just save 2-8mins What was the point, just to build more tension?
The train chase scene was so cringe like omg if u fro m the uk you’ll know they litro just showed what it’s like to skip a train in uk 😂😭 I was cringing when she put her foot in that thing like it was a big deal, and the way they were just running down the train from the ticket bot 😭😭 like it was some intense scene bro it was was baso two teens in the east midlands uk jumping the train to Leicester 😭😭😭😭 it really made cringe, img I just remembered how they got off the train 😵😵the whole industrial sector and they happen to jump on the one bit of tarp for 20 miles 😭😵 please just except it’s bad y don’t have to defend it brother
@@zachgud6657 that was the scene that needed the most trimming Thematically I get you're hammering home how much he trusts her, but dear god. Not like this, not like this
Well uh yes! That does seem to be the track record of both parties :P The good star wars is when competent creators are allowed to do what they want and the bad content we've gotten is whenever Disney/Kathleen have stuck their noses where they don't belong
I think there was something delightfully chilling about the Coruscant New Republic, particularly the droid interviews. It's exactly how this is playing out in real life; control with the pretence of geniality.
Also kind of more explicitly lays out that the 'good guys' arent really all that different than the bad guys. Specifically in regards to the mind flayer, both sides do terrible shit to the other side and try to justify it by either saying they deserve it or that its okay because its "not as bad" as what the other side does
I felt like this episode was a mix of the best qualities of andor mandalorian. The first starfight was possibly my favourite in all of star wars or at least top 3 and the whole coruscant plot WAS AMAZING!!! Well done!!!
Wow such a amazing episode. The action in the beginning, the suspense in the middle that gave me some Andor quality vibes, and the promise of whats to come in the end. Awesome stuff. (I love Omid abtahi in this role as dr pershing. Noticed is good acting first in American Gods 👌)
Good to see that the new Republic not only convicts and sentences people without a trial but also uses experimental mind altering technology on said people....
Everything about episode 3 to me was amazing. We go lore, we got new story to build upon in many different directions. That was a top 5 Mando episode for me! Easily & BO walks the way now duuuuuuude!!!!
One minute you're praising Favrou and Filoni. But as soon as they do something you don't like its "Disney blah blah blah". Like dude. It's fine if you don't like it, but Favrou is the show runner. You can't just praise him when it all goes to your liking and blame others when it doesn't.
The good star wars is when competent creators are allowed to do what they want and the bad content we've gotten is whenever Disney/Kathleen have stuck their noses where they don't belong
You've got to know what you're getting into watching Theory's content. Guy lost his touch some years ago. I'd like to believe he's just catering to the majority of his audience that consists of 12 year olds and not actually serious anyway.
Around the 4 min mark into the episode, when the tie fighters attack, this particular shot seems like stop motion to me. The movement of Tie Fighter to the very right looks a lot like it. If thats the case, that is an absolut hommage to the special effect of its time. Just beautiful.
Loved the Dr Pershing bit. Sad that theory requires constant action or “big heroes” to feel entertained in this universe. I love the way the built up the lore of the New Republic and it’s failures to govern, and how that one day will lead to their downfall. Reminded me of Andor.
It doesn’t have to be constant action or big heroes. It just needs to to be interesting like some of the Mando episodes were dragged on unnecessarily a lot like Andor
The New Republic is 1984 commie style left wing fascism while the Empire was right wing fascism. Both equally as terrifying. The Mandalorian way of freedom is truly the only way. "We trade one villain for another" - The Arbiter
Why was this episode so bad! First time I can say this about the Mandalorian! I 2nd guessed myself twice thinking I was watching the wrong show! I was like wait a minute? Where’s Mando?
I LOVE the Bad Batch and the variety of episode themes. The characters are developing, the story of their lives is moving along, and there is a mix of action and drama. I am more exited for it each week than Mando.
Tbh I feel like these filler episodes barely give us any character development. Real development is when we get the Crosshair episodes. The Crosshair episodes show us that character development can be done through quality episodes and not through mind numbing filler.
It's not just about Pershing though, Its about the comeback of Gideon and the other agents in his design. I quite like getting our villain side filled out a bit more
They call character development “bad writing” but then 3 weeks from now when this all comes to fruition theory will praise felony and favrau once again. Rinse and repeat.
@@MattyNard Pretty much, and this is not even bad writing. Boba Fett was bad writing. Kenobi was bad writing. This is just slower paced. With that said, I do think that S3E1 of Mando was a wasted episode. To call this week's episode of The Bad Batch the worst of the series, though, is misguided.
@@j.r.r.tolkee7000 When I think of slow paced I think of a lot of good possibilities, but not two characters strolling down a plaza eating space popsicles
@@j.r.r.tolkee7000 No Master Tolkien. You have a point-if some parts of the episode are decent, I should just love all of it. It isn't about entertainment or personal preferences
Its amazing how ones conclusions about the same episode can be so different. I for once really liked the scenes with dr Pershing. It showed us some of the post-empire reality, a lot od Coruscant and too me it was captivating and well paced. There is only so much you can show Mando and Grogu before it gets a bit monotonous. Great episode!
Think the dr is getting his memory wiped so the empire can use his talents without his morals getting it the way. It set up the empire cloning, moff Gideon clearly still in control from the shadows, giving Bo katan back a group of followers and her also knowing something they all don't, and seeing Vizsla at the end clearly seething, setting up possible fighting for the dark saber again. What on earth did people not enjoy 😕 9/10 for me. Been calling out for longer episodes for ages and thought it was all very well tied together.
So you think she didn’t wipe his mind completely just his morals that could be she could be a double agent working with grand admiral thrawn I won’t dislike her that much, but I don’t like her maybe because of the betrayal
I understand that some people are disappointed in this episode (maybe a bit too long) but personally, I really loved it! They finally gave background characters more time to shine and some depth, and like it or not, but Gideon, Pershing and the Empire thing ARE an important part of The Mandalorian..
Same bro i was totally sucked in by the world building in both eps tonight. Wish people would just get lost into the unverse that they are creating here.
@@mccleandazza4618 This episode really made me want to get strapped into a Mindflayer machine myself and dial it up to the highest setting to forget this horrible episode and the start to the season as a whole.
Right? As if main characters don’t get enough screen time. Theory being a baby because his theory is wrong and he knows Star Wars more than George Lucas. Who ya know is on the set and consulted about SW often.(not a lot tho)
The problem is timing and length. To have a 40 minute arc for Pershing after the cliffhanger of the reveal for Mythosaur was bad. Like really bad. You can like it all you want, that's fine, but there are only eight episodes for this show. Dismissing the very legitimate criticism is shortsighted. Also, having the longest episode in the Mandalorian history be about only Pershing is a disservice to the show.
The return of Mace Windu was such a HEAVY task to do correctly, but I see him being a quite MASSIVE part of the story moving forward. Mace Windu hype outweighs everything else!
Definitely the biggest without a doubt! I wasn't expecting that but at at all but I had a feeling something was up when din djarin was talking about the jedi after omega and hunter had hinted about the purple lightsaber. 1000/10 episode
Man, I guess Theory doesn’t like Andor since there’s episodes dedicated to Mon Mothma. Did he and everyone else forget how important Pershing is to the story? lmao
Dude stop with pushing the idea that andor was any good Star Wars. As a writer myself people got duped with some of pretty visuals and some ok acting but the script was HORRIBLE. As a Latino mystery I can tell you Lucasfilm used Luna for diversity points and in return spent millions on one of the most useless, boring characters to ever be in Star Wars. No one asked for a back story to his life. Badly written and acted by Luna. No one cared or wanted cereal eating creepy stocker Syril. No one wanted meandering episodes planning attacks for entire characters to die off after 2 episodes. TWO storylines like that in the series that took forever to get to their point. More efficient and better skilled writing could be found in other non Star Wars shows. With even more more action. Pershing ain't that important. People say "you can't appreciate slow burns or the episode 'cooking'". Screw that. Give Star Wars slow burns that are ENTERTAINMENT and excellently written like the stuff we got in Empire Strikes Back! People like to say Andor is amazing. No. Again. Look at something like the classic Lucas Star Wars films and see the trash Andor is compared to the those. Fancy visuals and some decent acting (mostly from Luthen!) doesn't equal a good script or story.
I don't understand the problem with the Doctor Pershing episode. It's important to the story of why Grogu was important, it's showing that there's imperial elements in the New Republic trying to prevent Pershings research from falling into their hands. It's episode 3, let it build up and cook. I'm calling it now that this episode is going to be important to the later episodes. It's no Bad Batch pod race episode.
Exactly. And it was almost an hour long, so really about the same amount of time was spent on Mando. I don't get Theory's bitching about this. It was amazing!
If it's going to be apart of the season it should've been introduced entirely about the doctor. At least for me, it was odd they cut from Mando and Bo to the scientist segment. Felt it couldve been its own episode.
All of this world-building and character development could've been done in 15 minutes. We're watching Mando for Mando, not an uninteresting scientist whose fate was supposedly sealed a season ago.
I don't mind this episode, even the filler stuff. Same reason why I loved Andor. I want to see what the "normals" of the galaxy are up to, the random functionaries who serve as cogs in the Empire and Republic and don't have really any powers or special abilities...but also loved that FREAKING DOPE DOGFIGHT to intro the episode. So good.
the episode was okay, i just don’t think that many of us care that much about dr. pershing to the point where we need 40 minutes of an episode about him. the whole train sequence was definitely this season’s “frog lady” or “leia chase” scene for sure. overall, the episode still progresses the plot and sets up the rest of the season quite nicely, especially since moff gideon may be returning. i also like the world-building they did by exploring more of coruscant and everything. this episode was like a mix of plot progression and filler.
I'd rather have 40 minutes of Pershing than 8 hours of Syril. At least his character is relevant to the larger story. Also the chemistry between Pershing and what's her face was interesting, deep down you knew she was up to something, but she really came off as a genuine friend.
I wanted more actually, it’s my favorite episode. I’d love to see an entire show about dr. Pershing, the world building was just awesome and it felt like a movie and a bit like Andor as well. I don’t know about “many of us” as I only speak for myself, this was my favorite epidode by far and it’s a 10/10 for me.
The Armourer needed no introduction to Bo Katan. Both are playing they're own games for power. Din has never questioned the Children of the Watch's origin or Armourer's leadership of it. I suspect Bo will have no such hesitation.
@@NerfThisBoardGames Yes she tells Din exactly what she thinks of Bo in the Book of Boba Fett. A "cautionary tale", where she more a less blames Bo acquiring the Dark Saber by gift and not by battle as the reason Mandalore was destroyed. The bigger mystery is whether Bo knows who The Armourer is and will she call her out on her possible previous Mauldalorian allegiance.
@@arsebusquets2436 There wouldn't be much to call her out for if it turns out that she was a Mauldalorian. Maul had the Darksaber at the time, and as far as deathwatch and the traditional factions are concerned, that meant he was in charge. If anything the Armorer will call Bo out for abandoning them when Maul took over. I garuntee they would look at her leaving as akin to someone moving out of the country if the person they vote for in an election loses. But regardless, I dont really see the armorer as a political/military leader, more as a shaman type/keeper of traditions.
@@Darth_K_K That's a fair point, it's really a matter of perspective of who thinks they have the high moral ground on the issue of how Mandalore was weakened to the point of Imperial destruction. Both already have stated that they blame the other or their faction for splintering their people, or that they're leadership was not legitimate. A lot will depend on elements of the timeline we still are not aware of, like when the Children of the Watch were formed, or how Bo lost the DarkSaber/battle for Mandalore. I do think there will be a reveal that the Armourer's past is not as squeaky clean when it comes to following the The Way and that she formed or joined the Children as a means of atoning for her past errors.
Theory: The reason why Beskar can resist lightsabers is because the beskar is created geologically near kyber crystal deposits. The Living Waters are called that, because of molecular kyber dispersed in the water, and kyber being a kind of "living" entity, those force sensitive can sense the waters as "living" and got its name. Further, the reason why the quench tank for forging beskar needs The Living Water dripped into it is because of the molecular dispersed kyber added makes the beskar forge-able.
Further, the reason why the Jedi fought the Mando's is probably because they had sensed the kyber on Mandalore, went their for Jedi interests but were repeatedly fought off by the Mandos in their Beskar armor.
Star Wars fans can’t keep using KK and Disney as a scapegoat for whenever they don’t like something, this episode was written by Jon and Dave, so they should be the ones being criticized
I agree with him in that the first 2 episodes were so cool and we got a lot of story developed. This one on the other hand was like a sidequest you have to do before you can advance the story. It was good, but id prefer to see the mando stuff since thats what i came here to watch.
I feel a bit of world building never hurt anyone, and to be honest this episode showed that Favreau is a better writer many have given him credit for. I liked Andor, and I also liked BoBF so why can't Star Wars be both.
Episode 3 of mandalorian was so stupid and pointless, I hate it when they reframe from the main characters and show a story about unimportant side characters
It wasnt like it was a select few people. It seemed like half the chat wasnt watching the episode but just spamming "WOKEWARS" "WOKE IS BACK IN STAR WARS" "WOKEDALORIAN" the fans saw a girl with a guy haircut and then decided to shut off their brains for the night.
Lol I knew he would be upset about this episode's slower pace and character building. I thought it was pretty cool to see Coruscant and get some insights on the new republic handling ex imps. Not as many shooties and flashies but a great ep imo
Cause it's about a character we don't really care about and we've barely seen, where he suddenly gets 45 minutes just for himself. Acting was meh as well
@Pedro perhaps it's a character some didn't care about until he got more screen time. He and Kane served as a vessel for us to see post-war Coruscant and will likely be how we get more context on Gideon and maybe Thrawn.
@KCon8464 I agree, the thing is I wish we had spent a little more time with him before giving him a full episode, that's it. I liked parts of it but felt they dragged it
Anyone notice during the episode a similar theme music to where Anakin visited Palpatine at the opera in episode 3? That eerie tune. Almost foreshadowing its leading to I'm assuming cloning Palpatine.
The Pershing stuff felt like a good Clone Wars/Rebels/Bad Batch episode in live action. Also somewhat Andor-esque. What relevance it has to the larger Mandalorian story remains to be seen, but it was a good watch nonetheless. As for the Bad Batch, Theory's been complaining that we get too much Cid and not enough character development. Now that we're seeing the individual members of the team get some personal growth, and they've finally cut ties with Cid, he's shitting all over it. I really don't understand. Not every episode needs to be a ground-breaking shoot-em-up of the week. The episode was wholesome. I don't know why that's such a bad thing.
They cut ties with Cid and ended up with this stupid pirate girl who's way more annoying than Cid. It's no coincidence the best episodes of season 2 are the ones with no Bad Batch (excluding Crosshair, both of his episodes were masterpieces) or at least not focused on them... And those pirate girl episodes have been the worst of the season so far, not even a contest.
@@TeemoForLife And not even a decent filler. We've seen some acceptable fillers this season like the one where they got stranded on that planet and had to get their ship back - not some great episodes or anything but much better than this utter garbage we had today. This episode didn't even remotely feel like Star Wars. I almost fell asleep.
It was wholesome, but it didn’t have to be a whole episode. We only have three episodes left and I’m unsure how Techs romance with Phee will have literally anything to do with the finale. We had an incredible episode last week with fantastic story telling. This episode down graded in everything. Story telling, even the animation was choppy. And don’t get me wrong, I am in no way sending hate to the animators, but this episode lacked in everything. The only thing that was important in this episode was Cid threatening the bad batch.
For me this was the best so far. Loved it. Als the Dr Part. Andor Vibes. Great to see this behind. Oh and of course She is not converted. She makes sure the tech doesn’t reach the New Republic. As for Bo, awesome. Oh and the Intro was fire. Tie Interceptors and Bombers… Woa..
10/10 for me. I’d watch an entire show about the doctor. It was my favorite part of the episode, the world building was amazing! This is the first time I’m instantly rewatching an epidode. It felt like a movie to me, it’s absolutely my favorite Mandalorian episode so far.
I have one thing to say, Jon and Dave are responsible for the bad stuff isn’t his show just as much as they are for the good stuff, so we can’t keep blaming Disney whenever there is something that we don’t like about this these shows when Jon and Abe are the ones making the bad decisions
So far imho, ep 3 for Mando S3 is a 7.5/10 > Glad we get to see post-Empire Coruscant and how former Imperial staff and military officers get treated. What's scarier is that The New Republic can be easily fooled and sabotaged by any former Imperial who knows how to put on a facade and play along the system. > Though it is cool they couldve kept the Pershing storyline a little brief and showed us more of Bo and Din's time with the Children of the Watch esp Bo's thoughts after what see had seen. As for The Bad Batch, it's a 5/10. More of a filler beach episode but it gives a premise that the Empire will come for them anytime soon and put the town in danger.
@@jedkeks Dr. Hemlock not only has taken an interest to find her in order to have Lama Su cooperate but the fact she is a unique clone specimen along the rest of CF 99 of the Kaminoan cloning project further piqued his interest. They will come in some form. But it is a possibility they will live there for Omega once they got through that.
I really enjoyed mando season 3, episode 3 (chapter 19), I’m going to give it a 9 out of 10..Definitely a good episode, true world building, and intrigue and wonder, what Star Wars is all about… Excited for what comes next…
@@fullnelson4986 I have to wonder though. Is it the audience following Theory, or is Theory following them? I swear he was far more level headed when I subbed to him years ago...
I loved this, it 2as interesting and adult and a nice break from “you attacked Grogu, you die, the imps are gone but not really, and what big imperial is coming next”
We really at the point in the fandom where the content is so bad Theory is deadass crying from laughter, id prefer the content was good, but these moments are almost as good as proper SW content done right
I hate how he always blames Disney for the stuff that he doesn’t like even though Jon and Dave are the ones responsible for writing the show, so they should be the ones held accountable, not Disney
Damn love this episode so much!!! Love seeing those Tie Interceptor so intimidating!!! And then Coruscant looked so incredible Elia Kane was so bad ass, I was really hoping more of her in mandalorian episodes!!!
For the first time in a while I completely agree with Theory. The beginning was fantastic. The dogfight with the Interceptors, just brilliant & the ending was very interesting. The Dr Pershing scenes seemed Andor-esque & some didn't care for it, don't really blame them. I feel like the Pershing scenes were dragged out way too long & it could've been done in half the time it took. This ep felt like a BOBF type episode in the sense it deviated from the title character & there were some that hated that Book of Boba Fett dedicated 2 of its 7 episodes to Mandalorian. This week's ep followed the same format as BOBF & Bad Batch S1. Personally I found this week's ep to be my least favorite yet relevant to the main plot going forward. The beginning was fantastic, the middle dragged out too long, the ending was very interesting. Say what you will about Andor, at least every episode had Cassian Andor as the main plot character for every one of its episodes. This week's Mando ep featured Mando for about 12 mins out of 53-54 mins which is ridiculous. I watch Mandalorian for Mandalorian(& Grogu).
I felt much the same but while I enjoyed seeing was was going on with Dr. Pershing and the New Republic it felt like Din was a guest-star in his own show.
Jesus christ comments like this is why I cant stand star wars fans. You all seem to act like you went to film school or something. Or maybe you tried to be a screenwriter but got rejected and now all you do is bitch and moan all day in a youtube comment section. Do us all a favor and shut the duck up.
It's called the mandalorian not Din Jarin. Lmao Andor has casian in it 24/7 bc it's Andor is literally his last name. Some of y'all who watch this show have the attention spam of an infant lol
@@TheHiddenValar Didn't know Dr Pershing & the "reformed" ex-Imperials were all Mandalorians. That's what this show is supposed to be about right? The Mandalorian? Its literally in the name. Deviating from the title character for so long did it no favors. At least when Mando showed up in BOBF he was a great enough character that people overlooked the fact they dedicated 2 episodes about his plot.
I’m not sure why people call this episode filler, it progressed the story entirely throughout the episode, I mean there was that boring 15 minutes with the doctor, but the episode wasn’t filler, people must be unsure of what filler is💀 it’s like people over categorizing the word “mid”
I feel like all of Pershing and New Republic was and will be super relevant. We got some major worldbuilding for the state of the Galaxy in this episode. I thought it was one of the best episodes of Mandalorian yet
First off, pretty sure the chick assassinated him at the end. And secondly, I believe this was more of a juxtaposition of the new republic to the mandalorians. New republic does not accept those that transitioned over from the empire, but the mandalorians immediately welcomed Bo even tho her clan was a rival as soon as they knew she bathed in the waters and had followed their way.
@@starlord157 she didn't assassinate him, she fried his mind. So he can't remember what Gideon was doing or rat out in more details what was going on. I'm going to be it's because there's more plans for Grugu
This week's Bad Batch episode truly put the BAD in Bad Batch. A comment I saw in chat: "kathleen wrote this episode after seeing last week's crosshair masterpiece" lol the whiplash from last week's brilliance is just profound. Thankfully the Mandalorian made up for it a bit. The fighter chase scene at the beginning was top notch and gave me a lot of hope for the episode but then we spent most of it on Coruscant dealing with the commie New Republic. The Empire was more right wing fascism with it's militaristic might, now the New Republic is more like left wing fascism with it's padded asylum style of rule. I argue both are equally as bad and the Mandalorian way of Freedom is truly The Way. Seems like Bo is back to her more villainous side. As they say, you can take the Bo outta Death Watch, but you can't take the Death Watch outta Bo aha
Bro I just realized this but at 54:29 the concept art is literally Juno Eclipse from Force Unleased, the second game costume, standing next to Dr. Pershing! Edit: I mean the time stamp in Mando not on the TH-cam video.
Man I loved this week's episode. So much drama and intrigue. I also loved how they went back and forth with the Mando story. BB was just alright this week. 8/10 for Mando and 5.5/10 for BB
Personally I didnt mind this episode being away from mando and bo to catch us up on the clone storyline, especially since the ending was closure and gave us alot of answers we wanted from the previous episode. and seeing bo and din be redeemed like that was insane. I really wonder what bo is planning with the mythosaur. and I wonder if her (what seems to be) selfish act will get them in trouble in the future
@@mccleandazza4618 favrau doing his best to re build with what garbage was left from sequels. If they can add context to make them less goofy. I’m all for it.

Meanwhile i was watching the episode and completely sucked into the world that they are building and story i doubt they are done with pershing they are not building this up for no reason. Yall need to wait because its only episode 3...
My take on this episode is that the scientist's plot was good, it was entertaining, it was interesting, but I expected to watch Mandalorian. Currently, not going to complain about it extensively, because I am hoping that the reason they dedicated much time and emphasis on the scientist's plot will be to deliver a bigger plot in which guideon somehow gets extracted by someone part of his contingency plan, and that that will be related to the scientist's betraying "friend". If that does not occur, I 110% will be annoyed and effectively, will complain about it. As long as the puzzle pieces come together I am all up for it. When that doesn't happen, this type of move are exponentially disrespectful. The plot gave me an Andor vibe, which is ok to some extent. Seeing Coruscant is always astonishing, thank you. The whole going to work back and forth and reporting to the droid felt a dragged. Whatever tools the scientist's betraying "friend" kept for herself, including the tiny device she kept will the scientist was gathering tools, I HOPE she knows what to do with them or who to deliver them to and have someone who can use them, because honestly, since she had already planned to betray him, I don't know why bother extracting the tools since she isn't a damm scientist. This sh** better workout, because this is how people including myself start loosing their way with good content.

@@NerfThisBoardGames You people complain about literally everything. The most insufferable fandom in all existence.
The train chase scene was so cringe like omg if u fro m the uk you’ll know they litro just showed what it’s like to skip a train in uk 😂😭 I was cringing when she put her foot in that thing like it was a big deal, and the way they were just running down the train from the ticket bot 😭😭 like it was some intense scene bro it was was baso two teens in the east midlands uk jumping the train to Leicester 😭😭😭😭 it really made cringe, img I just remembered how they got off the train 😵😵the whole industrial sector and they happen to jump on the one bit of tarp for 20 miles 😭😵 please just except it’s bad y don’t have to defend it brother

Start and the end was the only good part of the episode
@@Rizza5597 What?! This was one of the best mandalorian episodes!
The story with Dr pershing was really good.
@@NovelPhoinix Agreed
@@NovelPhoinix it was, just should’ve been shorter
Without Pedro it wouldn’t be. He brings that feeling to the show!
I do think the Pershing did go for a tad longer then it could have but I still didn't mind it. It was still entertaining.
So when an episode is great it’s because of John & Dave, but when it’s one you don’t like it’s because of Disney?
Now you’re getting it.
Well uh yes! That does seem to be the track record of both parties :P The good star wars is when competent creators are allowed to do what they want and the bad content we've gotten is whenever Disney/Kathleen have stuck their noses where they don't belong
lol, I checked out caring about Favreau's work after The Scribbles of Fredo Fett. Only show I've seen since that isn't a fan project is Andor.
@@Aikurisu careful, you’re going to trigger theory. (Yes, Andor is a masterpiece)
He's not wrong
I love how much this episode opened up the world in The Mandalorian.
i promise you the rest of the episodes for the mandalorian are gonna be on a desert planet don’t get excited
@@mercedes9494 kid
I think there was something delightfully chilling about the Coruscant New Republic, particularly the droid interviews. It's exactly how this is playing out in real life; control with the pretence of geniality.
Also kind of more explicitly lays out that the 'good guys' arent really all that different than the bad guys. Specifically in regards to the mind flayer, both sides do terrible shit to the other side and try to justify it by either saying they deserve it or that its okay because its "not as bad" as what the other side does
I can not believe the new republic officers left an ex imperial that moreover was under moff Gideon's command, alone with the mind wiper controls...
I felt like this episode was a mix of the best qualities of andor mandalorian. The first starfight was possibly my favourite in all of star wars or at least top 3 and the whole coruscant plot WAS AMAZING!!! Well done!!!
It was amazing but just a few mins too long
@@NerfThisBoardGames nope
@@NerfThisBoardGames yeah can't disagree. It could have been just a liittle less
@@4faces320 what did you really enjoy from the whole train scenes
@@4faces320 better yet do you really really think the taxi ride needed to be there? Or minimally that it needed to be THAT long?
Wow such a amazing episode. The action in the beginning, the suspense in the middle that gave me some Andor quality vibes, and the promise of whats to come in the end. Awesome stuff. (I love Omid abtahi in this role as dr pershing. Noticed is good acting first in American Gods 👌)
Really reminded me of the Andor tone overall
That Pershing part is what I really wish more of andor was like.
Good to see that the new Republic not only convicts and sentences people without a trial but also uses experimental mind altering technology on said people....
It was shite
Thanks for this comment. If u watched the chat during this episode, they hated it. I loved both.
Everything about episode 3 to me was amazing. We go lore, we got new story to build upon in many different directions. That was a top 5 Mando episode for me! Easily & BO walks the way now duuuuuuude!!!!
One minute you're praising Favrou and Filoni. But as soon as they do something you don't like its "Disney blah blah blah". Like dude. It's fine if you don't like it, but Favrou is the show runner. You can't just praise him when it all goes to your liking and blame others when it doesn't.
Now you’re getting it.
LMAOOOOO @starwarstheory why this guy speaking facts
The good star wars is when competent creators are allowed to do what they want and the bad content we've gotten is whenever Disney/Kathleen have stuck their noses where they don't belong
You've got to know what you're getting into watching Theory's content. Guy lost his touch some years ago. I'd like to believe he's just catering to the majority of his audience that consists of 12 year olds and not actually serious anyway.
Disney are holding them back! Just like Obi-Wan!!!
In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you're under (cardiac) arrest, Master Windu.
Around the 4 min mark into the episode, when the tie fighters attack, this particular shot seems like stop motion to me. The movement of Tie Fighter to the very right looks a lot like it. If thats the case, that is an absolut hommage to the special effect of its time. Just beautiful.
Loved the Dr Pershing bit. Sad that theory requires constant action or “big heroes” to feel entertained in this universe. I love the way the built up the lore of the New Republic and it’s failures to govern, and how that one day will lead to their downfall. Reminded me of Andor.
It doesn’t have to be constant action or big heroes. It just needs to to be interesting like some of the Mando episodes were dragged on unnecessarily a lot like Andor
Dr. Pershing's entire segment was a reference of George Orwell's 1984. I was absolutely losing my mind when I caught on.
omg it’s a reference!! It’s a reference! Guys it’s not bad or boring coz it’s actually a reference!
The New Republic is 1984 commie style left wing fascism while the Empire was right wing fascism. Both equally as terrifying. The Mandalorian way of freedom is truly the only way. "We trade one villain for another" - The Arbiter
More evidence that Mando carries the true spirit of Star Wars cause that is something George absolutely would've done.
@@Unchainedmaple888 well the empire simply killed dissidents and former enemy combatants, they did not even attempt reintegration. So no, not equal.
I assume 70% of SWT audience wont even notice that book reference
Why was this episode so bad! First time I can say this about the Mandalorian! I 2nd guessed myself twice thinking I was watching the wrong show! I was like wait a minute? Where’s Mando?
I LOVE the Bad Batch and the variety of episode themes. The characters are developing, the story of their lives is moving along, and there is a mix of action and drama. I am more exited for it each week than Mando.
If it wasn’t for Mace, I’d say BB was 95% filler, but I can’t coz Mace ate all the filler.
Tbh I feel like these filler episodes barely give us any character development. Real development is when we get the Crosshair episodes. The Crosshair episodes show us that character development can be done through quality episodes and not through mind numbing filler.
Bad batch is utter trash
@@Unchainedmaple888 I mean this ep did giant leaps for tech omega and especially hunter
It's not just about Pershing though, Its about the comeback of Gideon and the other agents in his design. I quite like getting our villain side filled out a bit more
Theory mad when characters get developed and plot progresses.
They call character development “bad writing” but then 3 weeks from now when this all comes to fruition theory will praise felony and favrau once again. Rinse and repeat.
@@MattyNard Pretty much, and this is not even bad writing. Boba Fett was bad writing. Kenobi was bad writing. This is just slower paced. With that said, I do think that S3E1 of Mando was a wasted episode. To call this week's episode of The Bad Batch the worst of the series, though, is misguided.
@@j.r.r.tolkee7000 When I think of slow paced I think of a lot of good possibilities, but not two characters strolling down a plaza eating space popsicles
@@jtparryheb Was that all that was happening between those two characters?
@@j.r.r.tolkee7000 No Master Tolkien. You have a point-if some parts of the episode are decent, I should just love all of it. It isn't about entertainment or personal preferences
The BB episode was so "good", Theory started crying (of laughter lmao)
While I personally liked both episodes I appreciate that the chat was hilarious tonight😂
Super chats were better than the actual bad batch show
This season was really good though
Its amazing how ones conclusions about the same episode can be so different. I for once really liked the scenes with dr Pershing. It showed us some of the post-empire reality, a lot od Coruscant and too me it was captivating and well paced. There is only so much you can show Mando and Grogu before it gets a bit monotonous. Great episode!
Think the dr is getting his memory wiped so the empire can use his talents without his morals getting it the way. It set up the empire cloning, moff Gideon clearly still in control from the shadows, giving Bo katan back a group of followers and her also knowing something they all don't, and seeing Vizsla at the end clearly seething, setting up possible fighting for the dark saber again. What on earth did people not enjoy 😕 9/10 for me. Been calling out for longer episodes for ages and thought it was all very well tied together.
you speak the truth. This is the way
So you think she didn’t wipe his mind completely just his morals that could be she could be a double agent working with grand admiral thrawn I won’t dislike her that much, but I don’t like her maybe because of the betrayal
@@bribwan1bribwan135 yeah exactly bro his talents are still there but now he's an easy tool for the empire to control

I was crying laughing with you Theory. Thanks for all the watch parties they're always fun.
I understand that some people are disappointed in this episode (maybe a bit too long) but personally, I really loved it! They finally gave background characters more time to shine and some depth, and like it or not, but Gideon, Pershing and the Empire thing ARE an important part of The Mandalorian..
Same bro i was totally sucked in by the world building in both eps tonight. Wish people would just get lost into the unverse that they are creating here.
It was awful
@@mccleandazza4618 This episode really made me want to get strapped into a Mindflayer machine myself and dial it up to the highest setting to forget this horrible episode and the start to the season as a whole.
Right? As if main characters don’t get enough screen time. Theory being a baby because his theory is wrong and he knows Star Wars more than George Lucas. Who ya know is on the set and consulted about SW often.(not a lot tho)
The problem is timing and length. To have a 40 minute arc for Pershing after the cliffhanger of the reveal for Mythosaur was bad. Like really bad. You can like it all you want, that's fine, but there are only eight episodes for this show. Dismissing the very legitimate criticism is shortsighted. Also, having the longest episode in the Mandalorian history be about only Pershing is a disservice to the show.
The return of Mace Windu was such a HEAVY task to do correctly, but I see him being a quite MASSIVE part of the story moving forward. Mace Windu hype outweighs everything else!
What a moment man I knew he was still alive 🔥
@Deigo Patrick I couldn't believe it man. What a huge moment in Star Wars history. Possibly the BIGGEST?!
Definitely the biggest without a doubt! I wasn't expecting that but at at all but I had a feeling something was up when din djarin was talking about the jedi after omega and hunter had hinted about the purple lightsaber. 1000/10 episode
When he said "this party is over" again, I got chills
🤔🤔🤔
Not gonna lie, I liked the bad batch episode. Made me happy
Embarrassing
I tried watching this on my own time and I now realize this stream was the only reason I was able to sit through it😂😂 love u theory
Man, I guess Theory doesn’t like Andor since there’s episodes dedicated to Mon Mothma. Did he and everyone else forget how important Pershing is to the story? lmao
He only notices when there to many bricks 😂
@@Thejardos or if there are screws don’t forget that 😂
@@Theultimateginger 😂💀
The show isn't called dr pershing
Dude stop with pushing the idea that andor was any good Star Wars. As a writer myself people got duped with some of pretty visuals and some ok acting but the script was HORRIBLE. As a Latino mystery I can tell you Lucasfilm used Luna for diversity points and in return spent millions on one of the most useless, boring characters to ever be in Star Wars. No one asked for a back story to his life. Badly written and acted by Luna. No one cared or wanted cereal eating creepy stocker Syril. No one wanted meandering episodes planning attacks for entire characters to die off after 2 episodes. TWO storylines like that in the series that took forever to get to their point. More efficient and better skilled writing could be found in other non Star Wars shows. With even more more action. Pershing ain't that important. People say "you can't appreciate slow burns or the episode 'cooking'". Screw that. Give Star Wars slow burns that are ENTERTAINMENT and excellently written like the stuff we got in Empire Strikes Back! People like to say Andor is amazing. No. Again. Look at something like the classic Lucas Star Wars films and see the trash Andor is compared to the those. Fancy visuals and some decent acting (mostly from Luthen!) doesn't equal a good script or story.
Seeing the Opra of Coruscant and hearing the Plagueise theme again, were my highlights this week ❤
WOOOWWWWW. what a fantastic episode! I was blown away!!
the bad batch ep was genuinely good because of how funny this chat was. If I did not watch the watch party I would have hated it.
I don't understand the problem with the Doctor Pershing episode. It's important to the story of why Grogu was important, it's showing that there's imperial elements in the New Republic trying to prevent Pershings research from falling into their hands. It's episode 3, let it build up and cook. I'm calling it now that this episode is going to be important to the later episodes. It's no Bad Batch pod race episode.
Exactly. And it was almost an hour long, so really about the same amount of time was spent on Mando.
I don't get Theory's bitching about this. It was amazing!
Main characters don’t get enough screen time. Theory an idiot.
@@spaulagain he bitches about everything unless it has lightsabers and Jedi in it then it’s automatically a 10/10
If it's going to be apart of the season it should've been introduced entirely about the doctor. At least for me, it was odd they cut from Mando and Bo to the scientist segment. Felt it couldve been its own episode.
All of this world-building and character development could've been done in 15 minutes. We're watching Mando for Mando, not an uninteresting scientist whose fate was supposedly sealed a season ago.
I don't mind this episode, even the filler stuff. Same reason why I loved Andor. I want to see what the "normals" of the galaxy are up to, the random functionaries who serve as cogs in the Empire and Republic and don't have really any powers or special abilities...but also loved that FREAKING DOPE DOGFIGHT to intro the episode. So good.
the episode was okay, i just don’t think that many of us care that much about dr. pershing to the point where we need 40 minutes of an episode about him. the whole train sequence was definitely this season’s “frog lady” or “leia chase” scene for sure. overall, the episode still progresses the plot and sets up the rest of the season quite nicely, especially since moff gideon may be returning. i also like the world-building they did by exploring more of coruscant and everything. this episode was like a mix of plot progression and filler.
I'd rather have 40 minutes of Pershing than 8 hours of Syril. At least his character is relevant to the larger story. Also the chemistry between Pershing and what's her face was interesting, deep down you knew she was up to something, but she really came off as a genuine friend.
I wanted more actually, it’s my favorite episode. I’d love to see an entire show about dr. Pershing, the world building was just awesome and it felt like a movie and a bit like Andor as well. I don’t know about “many of us” as I only speak for myself, this was my favorite epidode by far and it’s a 10/10 for me.
@@zaab-yaoh9302 speaking facts but you just triggered the Andor cult fanboys that will call you a child now😂
Honestly though that mace windup reveal was insane
The Armourer needed no introduction to Bo Katan. Both are playing they're own games for power. Din has never questioned the Children of the Watch's origin or Armourer's leadership of it. I suspect Bo will have no such hesitation.
She mentioned Bo in another time
But I expect armoror knew Bo from her death watch days
@@NerfThisBoardGames Yes she tells Din exactly what she thinks of Bo in the Book of Boba Fett. A "cautionary tale", where she more a less blames Bo acquiring the Dark Saber by gift and not by battle as the reason Mandalore was destroyed.
The bigger mystery is whether Bo knows who The Armourer is and will she call her out on her possible previous Mauldalorian allegiance.
@@arsebusquets2436 my bet is yes and that's why next episode is also written by Dave
@@arsebusquets2436 There wouldn't be much to call her out for if it turns out that she was a Mauldalorian. Maul had the Darksaber at the time, and as far as deathwatch and the traditional factions are concerned, that meant he was in charge. If anything the Armorer will call Bo out for abandoning them when Maul took over. I garuntee they would look at her leaving as akin to someone moving out of the country if the person they vote for in an election loses. But regardless, I dont really see the armorer as a political/military leader, more as a shaman type/keeper of traditions.
@@Darth_K_K That's a fair point, it's really a matter of perspective of who thinks they have the high moral ground on the issue of how Mandalore was weakened to the point of Imperial destruction. Both already have stated that they blame the other or their faction for splintering their people, or that they're leadership was not legitimate. A lot will depend on elements of the timeline we still are not aware of, like when the Children of the Watch were formed, or how Bo lost the DarkSaber/battle for Mandalore. I do think there will be a reveal that the Armourer's past is not as squeaky clean when it comes to following the The Way and that she formed or joined the Children as a means of atoning for her past errors.
Theory: The reason why Beskar can resist lightsabers is because the beskar is created geologically near kyber crystal deposits. The Living Waters are called that, because of molecular kyber dispersed in the water, and kyber being a kind of "living" entity, those force sensitive can sense the waters as "living" and got its name.
Further, the reason why the quench tank for forging beskar needs The Living Water dripped into it is because of the molecular dispersed kyber added makes the beskar forge-able.
Further, the reason why the Jedi fought the Mando's is probably because they had sensed the kyber on Mandalore, went their for Jedi interests but were repeatedly fought off by the Mandos in their Beskar armor.
still cant believe they brought mace windu back. incredible.
When?
Huh
When where pls give timestamp of the episode.
Trolled me
Good job man
Get stuffed in mando or batch I haven’t watched yet
Star Wars fans can’t keep using KK and Disney as a scapegoat for whenever they don’t like something, this episode was written by Jon and Dave, so they should be the ones being criticized
💯 Correct
I don't want new characters development, I just want pew pew, pew pew
- Theory, Star Wars! 😅
Dude I literally cried laughing with theory over those jokes
Theory with another massive L take on the mando episode. I actually wish they would do more world building like they did with dr Pershing.
Seriously though. I thought it was great!
I agree with him in that the first 2 episodes were so cool and we got a lot of story developed. This one on the other hand was like a sidequest you have to do before you can advance the story. It was good, but id prefer to see the mando stuff since thats what i came here to watch.
I feel a bit of world building never hurt anyone, and to be honest this episode showed that Favreau is a better writer many have given him credit for. I liked Andor, and I also liked BoBF so why can't Star Wars be both.
Noah Kloor wrotethe episode
Mace must’ve landed at Dex’s diner when Palps threw him from the window
Episode 3 of mandalorian was so stupid and pointless, I hate it when they reframe from the main characters and show a story about unimportant side characters
It was so cool to see much more of Coruscant. It reminds me of SWTOR and the beauty of the world. I'm also really hoping to see Mace Windu show up.
Let Mace stay dead. Not everyone has to come back to life.
Reminds me of Andor
Mace windu is dead
It's even funnier when you realise the last stream was called "bad batch is about to get insane"
It wasnt like it was a select few people. It seemed like half the chat wasnt watching the episode but just spamming "WOKEWARS" "WOKE IS BACK IN STAR WARS" "WOKEDALORIAN" the fans saw a girl with a guy haircut and then decided to shut off their brains for the night.
Glad to know Mace Windu is alive and well. He’s definitely bigger then he used to be, that fall from ROTS must’ve made him wider somehow
Lol I knew he would be upset about this episode's slower pace and character building. I thought it was pretty cool to see Coruscant and get some insights on the new republic handling ex imps. Not as many shooties and flashies but a great ep imo
Cause it's about a character we don't really care about and we've barely seen, where he suddenly gets 45 minutes just for himself. Acting was meh as well
@Pedro perhaps it's a character some didn't care about until he got more screen time. He and Kane served as a vessel for us to see post-war Coruscant and will likely be how we get more context on Gideon and maybe Thrawn.
@KCon8464 I agree, the thing is I wish we had spent a little more time with him before giving him a full episode, that's it. I liked parts of it but felt they dragged it
3:17:27 "Force Feast" is crazy lmao

The Pershing stuff felt like a good Clone Wars/Rebels/Bad Batch episode in live action. Also somewhat Andor-esque. What relevance it has to the larger Mandalorian story remains to be seen, but it was a good watch nonetheless.
As for the Bad Batch, Theory's been complaining that we get too much Cid and not enough character development. Now that we're seeing the individual members of the team get some personal growth, and they've finally cut ties with Cid, he's shitting all over it.
I really don't understand. Not every episode needs to be a ground-breaking shoot-em-up of the week.
The episode was wholesome. I don't know why that's such a bad thing.
They cut ties with Cid and ended up with this stupid pirate girl who's way more annoying than Cid. It's no coincidence the best episodes of season 2 are the ones with no Bad Batch (excluding Crosshair, both of his episodes were masterpieces) or at least not focused on them... And those pirate girl episodes have been the worst of the season so far, not even a contest.
Bad batch ep was filler lol
Could've done so much
Rex ep. Cross hair ep.
Literally just them chilling at the island now. That's the ep....
@@TeemoForLife And not even a decent filler. We've seen some acceptable fillers this season like the one where they got stranded on that planet and had to get their ship back - not some great episodes or anything but much better than this utter garbage we had today. This episode didn't even remotely feel like Star Wars. I almost fell asleep.
Thank you for your comment :-)
It was wholesome, but it didn’t have to be a whole episode. We only have three episodes left and I’m unsure how Techs romance with Phee will have literally anything to do with the finale. We had an incredible episode last week with fantastic story telling. This episode down graded in everything. Story telling, even the animation was choppy. And don’t get me wrong, I am in no way sending hate to the animators, but this episode lacked in everything. The only thing that was important in this episode was Cid threatening the bad batch.
For me this was the best so far. Loved it. Als the Dr Part. Andor Vibes. Great to see this behind. Oh and of course She is not converted. She makes sure the tech doesn’t reach the New Republic. As for Bo, awesome. Oh and the Intro was fire. Tie Interceptors and Bombers… Woa..
For me too, favorite episode by far. And agreed with the Andor vibes. I’d watch an entire show about the doc, great world buiding. 10/10 for me.
Can't do these watch parties anymore. Chat is too toxic and spoils the show...telling people to skip to the end. smh
When fat Windu gets thrown out of the window. Right before he hits the ground.
Anakin: "What have I done?!"
Coruscant blows up
You know they're about to be selling those popsicles at galaxy's edge!
10/10 for me. I’d watch an entire show about the doctor. It was my favorite part of the episode, the world building was amazing! This is the first time I’m instantly rewatching an epidode. It felt like a movie to me, it’s absolutely my favorite Mandalorian episode so far.
As an x-ray student I absolutely lost my shit at the c-arm 😂 I personally thought this was a great episode. Lots of good world building!
I have one thing to say, Jon and Dave are responsible for the bad stuff isn’t his show just as much as they are for the good stuff, so we can’t keep blaming Disney whenever there is something that we don’t like about this these shows when Jon and Abe are the ones making the bad decisions
Tie Interceptors were Thrawns idea. Those have to be his fighters!!!!
Tie Defenders*
I hate to bring out my inner nerd but it was the defenders… at least from the rebels show it was! If I’m wrong, please label me an apostate 😭
It’s TIE Defenders that Thrawn uses. He doesn’t use Tie Interceptors
Thought BB was really good tonight, great episode, very wholesome
"This ain't even filler, this is NOTHING!" Hahahaaha 😂😂😂
How many episodes are left of the bad batch? How they going to stick this snoozer at the end of the season?
So far imho, ep 3 for Mando S3 is a 7.5/10
> Glad we get to see post-Empire Coruscant and how former Imperial staff and military officers get treated. What's scarier is that The New Republic can be easily fooled and sabotaged by any former Imperial who knows how to put on a facade and play along the system.
> Though it is cool they couldve kept the Pershing storyline a little brief and showed us more of Bo and Din's time with the Children of the Watch esp Bo's thoughts after what see had seen.
As for The Bad Batch, it's a 5/10. More of a filler beach episode but it gives a premise that the Empire will come for them anytime soon and put the town in danger.
Bad Batch was 1/10. Literally nothing relevant has happened in this episode other than those 10 seconds where they stated they cut ties with Cid.
I didn't think the Empire will come. But I believe the Squad leave again because of Crosshair. Then they live there forever for Omega.
@@jedkeks Dr. Hemlock not only has taken an interest to find her in order to have Lama Su cooperate but the fact she is a unique clone specimen along the rest of CF 99 of the Kaminoan cloning project further piqued his interest. They will come in some form.

Yoda: Master Windu…lose weight, you have not
Damn love this episode so much!!! Love seeing those Tie Interceptor so intimidating!!! And then Coruscant looked so incredible Elia Kane was so bad ass, I was really hoping more of her in mandalorian episodes!!!
For the first time in a while I completely agree with Theory.
The beginning was fantastic. The dogfight with the Interceptors, just brilliant & the ending was very interesting. The Dr Pershing scenes seemed Andor-esque & some didn't care for it, don't really blame them. I feel like the Pershing scenes were dragged out way too long & it could've been done in half the time it took. This ep felt like a BOBF type episode in the sense it deviated from the title character & there were some that hated that Book of Boba Fett dedicated 2 of its 7 episodes to Mandalorian. This week's ep followed the same format as BOBF & Bad Batch S1. Personally I found this week's ep to be my least favorite yet relevant to the main plot going forward.
The beginning was fantastic, the middle dragged out too long, the ending was very interesting.
Say what you will about Andor, at least every episode had Cassian Andor as the main plot character for every one of its episodes. This week's Mando ep featured Mando for about 12 mins out of 53-54 mins which is ridiculous. I watch Mandalorian for Mandalorian(& Grogu).
I felt much the same but while I enjoyed seeing was was going on with Dr. Pershing and the New Republic it felt like Din was a guest-star in his own show.
Jesus christ comments like this is why I cant stand star wars fans. You all seem to act like you went to film school or something. Or maybe you tried to be a screenwriter but got rejected and now all you do is bitch and moan all day in a youtube comment section. Do us all a favor and shut the duck up.
It's called the mandalorian not Din Jarin. Lmao Andor has casian in it 24/7 bc it's Andor is literally his last name.
Some of y'all who watch this show have the attention spam of an infant lol
@@TheHiddenValar True
@@TheHiddenValar Didn't know Dr Pershing & the "reformed" ex-Imperials were all Mandalorians. That's what this show is supposed to be about right? The Mandalorian? Its literally in the name. Deviating from the title character for so long did it no favors. At least when Mando showed up in BOBF he was a great enough character that people overlooked the fact they dedicated 2 episodes about his plot.
I’m not sure why people call this episode filler, it progressed the story entirely throughout the episode, I mean there was that boring 15 minutes with the doctor, but the episode wasn’t filler, people must be unsure of what filler is💀 it’s like people over categorizing the word “mid”
I feel like all of Pershing and New Republic was and will be super relevant. We got some major worldbuilding for the state of the Galaxy in this episode. I thought it was one of the best episodes of Mandalorian yet
Relevant to what ?? The sequels!! Yaaaay 🤦♂️
They didn't create Coruscant for a single episode, I'll tell you that much
First off, pretty sure the chick assassinated him at the end. And secondly, I believe this was more of a juxtaposition of the new republic to the mandalorians. New republic does not accept those that transitioned over from the empire, but the mandalorians immediately welcomed Bo even tho her clan was a rival as soon as they knew she bathed in the waters and had followed their way.
@@mccleandazza4618 the sequels are here to stay man I’m sorry. They not gunna retcon them stop believing in theory he’s an idiot.
@@starlord157 she didn't assassinate him, she fried his mind. So he can't remember what Gideon was doing or rat out in more details what was going on.
I'm going to be it's because there's more plans for Grugu
I can't believe that mace windu has ordered 66 from the mc Donald's menu😂😂😂😂😂😂
This week's Bad Batch episode truly put the BAD in Bad Batch. A comment I saw in chat: "kathleen wrote this episode after seeing last week's crosshair masterpiece" lol the whiplash from last week's brilliance is just profound. Thankfully the Mandalorian made up for it a bit. The fighter chase scene at the beginning was top notch and gave me a lot of hope for the episode but then we spent most of it on Coruscant dealing with the commie New Republic. The Empire was more right wing fascism with it's militaristic might, now the New Republic is more like left wing fascism with it's padded asylum style of rule. I argue both are equally as bad and the Mandalorian way of Freedom is truly The Way. Seems like Bo is back to her more villainous side. As they say, you can take the Bo outta Death Watch, but you can't take the Death Watch outta Bo aha
When you see this pirate girl, you know the episode is going to be 1/10. Same was for the previous one with her.
Bro I just realized this but at 54:29 the concept art is literally Juno Eclipse from Force Unleased, the second game costume, standing next to Dr. Pershing!
Edit: I mean the time stamp in Mando not on the TH-cam video.
Man I loved this week's episode. So much drama and intrigue. I also loved how they went back and forth with the Mando story. BB was just alright this week. 8/10 for Mando and 5.5/10 for BB
Somewhere in the 22 minute mark, you can hear the March of the Resistance in the fair esplanade music.
Personally I didnt mind this episode being away from mando and bo to catch us up on the clone storyline, especially since the ending was closure and gave us alot of answers we wanted from the previous episode. and seeing bo and din be redeemed like that was insane. I really wonder what bo is planning with the mythosaur. and I wonder if her (what seems to be) selfish act will get them in trouble in the future
A guy saying “l’m paying good money foe Disney+” is like someone saying to a cop “my taxes pay your salary”
Thought it was great. They are setting up some real interesting stuff.
The sequels ...its setting up the sequels..............................🤦♂️
@@mccleandazza4618 favrau doing his best to re build with what garbage was left from sequels. If they can add context to make them less goofy. I’m all for it.
Nice episode! Always love that little spy action in the middle.
theory really has the attention span of a goldfish. If a show doesnt have a main character shooting and killing or lightsabers waving around the screen he whines like a baby and nit picks about brick and nails.
Or maybe it's just mediocre and boring storytelling that's the problem 🤔
Honestly, every time I hear him say "boring" I get hit with a sense of nostalgia because that's what I sounded like when I was 4.
@@JediKnightoftheTifaCult lmao what's wrong with the story telling? Notice how u don't say how its boring. Your just a sheep with out a mind for themselves u just regurgitate what theory and his chat says... Meanwhile i was watching the episode and completely sucked into the world that they are building and story i doubt they are done with pershing they are not building this up for no reason. Yall need to wait because its only episode 3...
@@JediKnightoftheTifaCultYou’re a fucking Snyder fan, what do you know about storytelling?

My take on this episode is that the scientist's plot was good, it was entertaining, it was interesting, but I expected to watch Mandalorian. Currently, not going to complain about it extensively, because I am hoping that the reason they dedicated much time and emphasis on the scientist's plot will be to deliver a bigger plot in which guideon somehow gets extracted by someone part of his contingency plan, and that that will be related to the scientist's betraying "friend". If that does not occur, I 110% will be annoyed and effectively, will complain about it. As long as the puzzle pieces come together I am all up for it. When that doesn't happen, this type of move are exponentially disrespectful. The plot gave me an Andor vibe, which is ok to some extent.
Seeing Coruscant is always astonishing, thank you. The whole going to work back and forth and reporting to the droid felt a dragged. Whatever tools the scientist's betraying "friend" kept for herself, including the tiny device she kept will the scientist was gathering tools, I HOPE she knows what to do with them or who to deliver them to and have someone who can use them, because honestly, since she had already planned to betray him, I don't know why bother extracting the tools since she isn't a damm scientist. This sh** better workout, because this is how people including myself start loosing their way with good content.
Great reaction as always Theory thank you for being you and making the community great , much love been a fan for a long time 🙏🏽❤️ MTFBWY ALWAYS
