The fact that R5 made it this far makes me laugh so much. From being a throw away part in Ep. 4 to now helping out in the finale of The Mandalorian s3 is awesome.
you two are absolutely legendary for thinking of us and making content but i think all of us would agree that if you took the time off to take care of family business, we would all be very supportive and happy for you both!! thank you for everything
So I heard one theory as to why episode 7 was called “The Spies” that I think Holden would like. The theory was that it was a biblical reference to the 12 spies Moses sent to scout out Canaan.
I think it's more than a theory, and a brilliant play on words to use the term in both ways (Kane being the conventional spy). A scouting group comprised of members from each of the formerly-splintered, now-united tribes moving ahead of the rest to survey the land they intend to settle? That's a pretty direct allegory.
When the Armourer said "This... Is the way." in the scene where Din adopts Grogu, it wouldve been funny if she showed him the way to the office where they will sign the adoption papers
If I remember right, only someone like the Armorer using a special forge could create pure beskar armor, like what Din wears. But if you mixed beskar with other materials it became easier to forge with more available technology. This was why ancestral Mandalorian armor was so important, it was made of purer beskar and so was more durable and resistive. Newer armor was made with smaller amounts of beskar (because it wasn't as available) and so wasn't as protective, or no beskar at all. This is why you get some Mandalorians getting taken out by blaster fire from pistols and small rifles, while others (like Paz Vizla) who could take direct shots from heavier weaponry and survive. The Imperial 'Mandalorians' had beskar in their armor but not pure beskar. I still think that this season was more about Grogu being put into situations to force him to grow and become more proactive in the story and to wrap up storylines in preparation for the other new Star Wars series. I hope that in the end of the series it shows that every episode had a purpose.
Exactly. The purity level/ratio of beskar in armor is key. This is why in the s2 finale, while Din's blaster shots were useless versus the Dark Troopers armor, Luke's lightsaber cut through them easily proving that they werent pure beskar. In contrast, when Gideon and Din were fighting in the hallway the Darksaber was repeatedly blocked by the pure beskar spear....although sustained contact showed it start to heat up and glow meaning that with continued constant contact even pure beskar would eventually melt versus a lightsaber.
@@lucas.2.3.9.4 Well now you come to mention it, I can't actually be surely that they are, probably not for earlier version of them in Star Wars lore but the events of the s2 and s3 finales strongly imply that Gideon would have used the beskar from Mandalor for his s2 Dark Troopers tho likely only with enough purity to be impervious to blasters. His fear on the cruiser when he saw a Jedi had boarded I feel means he never expected them to have to face lightsaber blades and perhaps he wanted them to be vulnerable to his Darksaber if they were ever used against him.
@@BichaeldeAngelo it would be easier to tell with a line but it is more show don't tell kinda stuff. Just gotta use some brain power with the lore or watch deep dives on YT
Bo Katan sought the Darksaber as a symbol to restore Mandalor for her faction. Din showed Bo that she didn’t need the Darksaber and she now has the support of all the Mandalorians in her own right, not because of her birth or symbols of authority
There were rumours Grogu was supposed to return during Season 3, so it makes sense that the earlier episodes didn't have a lot of character progression for Din and especially Grogu. It was the Bo-Katan show for a while, where it could have been Bo-Katan doing that same stuff while Din wrestles with losing Grogu, Luke is training Grogu, and then it could culminate with them reuniting for the big finale, where episode 7 and 8 would be essentially unchanged
kathleen kennedy forced them to bring back grogu to early thats why the episodes didnt flow right at the begening of the season grogu should have shown for 7 and 8
Someone has already cracked "The Spies" code and linked it to the religious themes of the series as the ep was that of Moses sending scouts into the promised Land. So, every Mando that went and encountered the giant problem of imperials in beskar were all spies (- ^ )
The spies - refers to exodus- when the Israelites returned to Kanan they sent spies before settling the land, so the mandalorian team that got to mandalor are the spies.
16:49 A "Light Saber" is never fuller destroyed until the Kyber crystal is destroyed. You can always take the Kyber Crystal and rebuild the saber or put in in another saber. An example of this is in the Videogame "Jedi Fallen Order"
They did a great job making these last two episodes feel epic and high-stakes. I loved it. Really nice, sweet, satisfying ending. If this was the end for the Mando series, I'd be okay with how they wrapped it up. If there's more to go, then I'm here for it. Great reaction, as always.
I feel like everyone forgot the fact that Jack Black and Lizzo officially recognized Mandalore’s sovereignty in return for Din and Bo-Katan helping them out. It gives the Mandalorians political allies.
Love you guys!!! I love how much you care about us, the fact that you consider you hiatus status for the baby, just by filming stuff for us, is why I'm a fan of your channel and your relationship and also your dogs.
So proud of you guys for doing all this work for us in preparation for your baby. Especially Jen for doing this at the tail end of her pregnancy. So insane to see this channel now compared to when I started watching back in the days of Matt watching star wars. So proud and thankful for all that you do for us fans!
Jen take care of yourself. We can wait. Holden you can hold down the fort and let her and the baby have their time. We watch for both of you. If it's just Holden we will still watch as long as we get updates on Jen and the Baby. Bless you all.
So you figured out who the Spies were? Well, they were The Armorer, Paz Viszla, Bo Katan, Ax Woves, Kaska Reeves, Din Djarin, Grogu, and five other unnamed Mandos. Figured it out yet? No? Well, what's another word for Spies? Scouts. In Base building games where you can attack other bases for resources, one of the options they usually give you is the ability to Scout, or Spy on other bases before you attack them with your armed forces. Getting it yet? The Mando scouting party to Mandalore before the rest of the Mandos arrived WERE the Spies. We were all just confused by the use of the word Spies rather than Scouts. But think about it...because there was an Imperial spy exposed in the very first scene, it would have been odd to call the episode The Scouts. But Spies fits because it can refer to a double crosser, and it can also refer to a scout. The number twelve, 7 + 5, is also significant because it also refers to the Biblical even when Moses sent 12 Spies to scout Csnaan for areas that the Jews could settle.
Jenn really has come a long way in her fandom of Star Wars! Not saying she didn't like it at the beginning but she's like a full on fan now and it's really cool to see!
I read this theory about the title of last episode: "The spies" from episode 7 was a biblical reference to Moses' 12 spies (one from each tribe) who were sent ahead to scout the promised land and make sure it was suitable for them. Including Bo, there were 12 Mandalorians who went down ahead to scout Mandalore... I mean, it makes sense after this episode, and NO spies revealed 🤣🤣
So i saw a theory on a different channel that explains that "the spies" means the party that went out to check out the planet while the others stayed with the star destroyer. So like the spies aka the scouting crew because in the Bible Moses sent out the 12 spies and there are 12 Mados that go out with Bo Katan as well. So yh thats most likely the real meaning i feel as well.
To me, the only time episodes felt like filler was in the moment. Until it got to a point where you see that there were callbacks to the previous episodes that we thought was filler. After that, the filler feeling episodes started feeling like main story episodes.
I think there were a lot of filler scenes in earlier episodes, but there were no filler episodes if that makes sense. For example the Jack Black episode has an important moment for Bo Katan, but the main plot of that episode is basically filler. I still enjoyed this season a lot, but you could see that studio meddling made the show and especially Grogu's place in the story very confused
@@Keanine I don’t think it was filler. They made a point to say that Black’s character rebuilds cities and they owe the Mandalorians a favor. The season was really about them rebuilding both the Mandalorians and getting back to Mandalore.
Much love for planning ahead even though you aren’t feeling your best. Jen, you’re a legend! Glad you guys also finally are getting into the meat of Andor.
I actually haven’t been keeping up with you guys the past couple months I’m so happy for you guys I wish you the best of luck I’m glad I came across your channel 😊
For someone whose usually smart on religion you totally missed the meaning of last week's title. The Spies was essentially referring to from what I understand, the 12 spies of Moses, who came from different tribes and were sent out to find a land for their people to live in. Kinda similar concept used for last week's episode with the different Mando tribes coming together to investigate their previous "holy" land.
Not sure if you pointed this out but there was theories that Moff's beskar armour was also mechanised (like an exoskeleton) judging by the sounds it makes when he walks etc. This would also explain how he destroyed the darksaber (the darksaber is made of beskar). It also explains how he was throwing Din and Bo around.
I don't think that's a theory, it was pretty self-evident. Not just the sound effects, but, the obvious strength enhancement! I don't think it required someone standing up and proclaiming... as they say, show, don't tell.
And he says Mandalorians are weak without thier trinkets, lol. But he needs a mechanised armor to be able to beat Din and Bo, and cant even do it with it. xD
Hi Holden and Jen I'm very excited for your child congratulations🎉👶🏼 and love your reaction to mandalorian final my favorite part is your reaction together where Gorgu is now Din Gorgu
I really dont mind this season at all of mando s3. All this is setting up some majorrrrrr events to occur in not only season 4 and so on but also the other projects they have in mind connected to mando. This season has really just made me more excited for what's to come and I love the slow burn of it. LOVE YALL HARDMANS!! MOST POWERFUL COUPLE OF ALL THE COUPLES ON TH-cam!! ❤
Saw people complaining about why they felt the hits through the armor. The armor doesn’t get rid of the energy of the hit, it just makes sure you don’t get punctured or melted by a blaster bolt or lightsaber
I honestly thought this finale was phenomenal! I've already watched it 3 times since it came out😅 "The Mandalorian" is the show that got my Mom to finally care about Star Wars. Oh & a side note: I've heard a lot about how "The Mandalorian" is full of religious allegory & I, personally, would love to hear your take on it.😇 P.S. Can't wait to see Baby Gohan😅
14:04 Yes. These are also pratorian guards, Holden. Brendol Hux (father of general Armitag Hux from the sequels) mentioned it in episode 7 of this season.
24:56 It has already been set, that season 4 will have a similiar direction like season 1: Small adventures, where Din Djarin works for Carson Teva to fight the remnants of the empire. But in a later stage in the series, Mando will join the crossover-event against Thrawn, which is being build up with the other shows. (Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew)
I absolutely loved how the season started with the mythosaur and Bo Katan knowing it was down there but keeping it a secret… but then they never really paid that off which was odd
Episode 7 title, "The Spies", refers to the Mandalorian recon team who went to the surface of Mandalore to gather information on the Imperials before deploying the rest of the Mandalorian forces. Reconnaissance is a form of spying.
Hey Holden, maybe when you go on hiatus you could release rebels to the public like you did with the clone wars. It's another series of videos to help keep your channel active while youre gone!
I saw the theory about the Armorer, too. But I never bought it. There were so many reasons both within the show and outside of it why that was never going to make sense. I did wonder about the guys that they found still living on Mandalore, but I'm glad that didn't turn out to be a thing.
I had the theory of imperial remnants still kind of occupying Mandalore since the season 1 Moff Gideon reveal. And also survivors and pockets of life still existing on the planet. Honestly I thought more about tunnels under the cities introduced in Clone Wars, but I mosty guessed right.
that's so cool to hear that you are trying to produce content before the pregnancy. Does that also mean you'll be able to watch the remaining episodes of andor before you aren't able to do more?
18:46 I wonder how does Din Djarin’s master flashbacks are gonna be like, if they even do some of them. I also can’t wait to see how they cast a younger Din Djarin
As many have said, Spies could have been used in a more biblical sense of the mandalorians scouting out their homeland, like the 12 spies. Kind of a deep meaning for someone writing the show to pull, but who knows. The mandalorians are very religious.
They are the same guys from Episode 8, but I believe these are very early iterations. The ones guarding Snoke were supposedly supposed to be the best of the best! This version of them here is like right after the royal guard are gone and the praetorians are just formed :)
I think Grogu is THE Mandalorian and you hit the nail on the head being a Jedi Mando. I think in the future he will be a huge part in uniting all our allies in something massive. Even in small ways, like when Lizzo makes him a knight.
It is very hard to compare s2 and s3. S2 was a masterpiece imo. I knew s3 would be less good and with all the rumours regarding bobf and mando internal thing. I wonder if the job mando took with the new republic will be storylines intended for rangers of the new republic? Will be interesting. Great reaction as always. Can't wait for more!
Great announcements! You both are awesome. 👌😊 With the Moff Gideon clones, my first thought was that he becomes the Ba'al (Stargate) of Star Wars, just clones everywhere and you never know if you captured or killed the real one! I am glad the "spies" thing wasn't true, feels way better this way. Cool finale! Ahsoka and S4 will be fun.
There are clues that the Armorer was part of called the Death Watch. They were a group of Mandos that followed Darth Maul. So there is some reasons to question her motives.
The dark sabre is broken and the mythosaur is still out there--setting it up for Grogu for eventually owning both. This is still early in the Din Grogu story not late in the Din Jarin story.
I don't understand why people think this season is al over the place, it's quite clear that they are bringing together the Mandalorians for their return to Mandalore and reinstating their culture there. In that sense this season is actually the most focused of the three.
The Spie's is a biblical term (like a lot of the title in this season). Moses sent 12 scouts (spies original meanning) of each tribes ahead to the promise land to make sure it is safe to go. In this episode Bo (Moses figure) go to Mandalore with 12 Mandalorian to scout ahead for her people. That's all :)
Holden and Jen you have to remember that it was the Hilt of the Dark Saber destroyed so there might be a chance that there is a big enough piece of Kyber crystal of the Dark Saber that can be made into a Din Grogu sized light Saber where Din Grogu can complete his steps into becoming the next legendary Mandalorian Jedi and Mandalorian History keeper and Teacher to centuries of Mandalorian Foundlings 🤔
Even tho grogu hasn't had much of a point in s3 I like the effect of him being around. He has been through a lot of combat this season and we can see him growing in skill and also in mandos confidence in his abilities. We wouldn't have seen that progression if he wasn't there
The fact that R5 made it this far makes me laugh so much. From being a throw away part in Ep. 4 to now helping out in the finale of The Mandalorian s3 is awesome.

Impossible to not remember Kanan's sacrifice while Grogu saves Din and Bo from the fire.

If I remember right, only someone like the Armorer using a special forge could create pure beskar armor, like what Din wears. But if you mixed beskar with other materials it became easier to forge with more available technology. This was why ancestral Mandalorian armor was so important, it was made of purer beskar and so was more durable and resistive. Newer armor was made with smaller amounts of beskar (because it wasn't as available) and so wasn't as protective, or no beskar at all.

It was very clever for the rebellion to use their ship that was doomed as a weapon to take out the base..that was great..I really enjoyed the season..
24:56 It has already been set, that season 4 will have a similiar direction like season 1: Small adventures, where Din Djarin works for Carson Teva to fight the remnants of the empire. But in a later stage in the series, Mando will join the crossover-event against Thrawn, which is being build up with the other shows. (Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew)
You guys get it!!! Just good old-fashioned, fun Star Wars!! Just enjoying the ride!!
Jenn’s reactions are priceless
21:21 I wouldn‘t be surprised, if the lightsaber crystal of the darksaber will get put in a new short hild, specifically made for Grogu.
yup they didnt that for a reason
I absolutely loved how the season started with the mythosaur and Bo Katan knowing it was down there but keeping it a secret… but then they never really paid that off which was odd
17:22 love that cut 😂
Episode 7 title, "The Spies", refers to the Mandalorian recon team who went to the surface of Mandalore to gather information on the Imperials before deploying the rest of the Mandalorian forces. Reconnaissance is a form of spying.
Hey Holden, maybe when you go on hiatus you could release rebels to the public like you did with the clone wars. It's another series of videos to help keep your channel active while youre gone!
there is one of the episodes where you can hear Grogu trying to say "This is the way"
I saw the theory about the Armorer, too. But I never bought it. There were so many reasons both within the show and outside of it why that was never going to make sense. I did wonder about the guys that they found still living on Mandalore, but I'm glad that didn't turn out to be a thing.
I had the theory of imperial remnants still kind of occupying Mandalore since the season 1 Moff Gideon reveal. And also survivors and pockets of life still existing on the planet. Honestly I thought more about tunnels under the cities introduced in Clone Wars, but I mosty guessed right.
17:24 Was anyone else reminded by Grogu deflecting the fire on how Kanan gave his life for his beloved ones?
Congratulations!! Love your reactions
!
17:22 BEST video edit I have ever seen! Bless You!
that's so cool to hear that you are trying to produce content before the pregnancy. Does that also mean you'll be able to watch the remaining episodes of andor before you aren't able to do more?
17:23 😂 the edit got me SO good. Great timing!
18:46 I wonder how does Din Djarin’s master flashbacks are gonna be like, if they even do some of them. I also can’t wait to see how they cast a younger Din Djarin
As many have said, Spies could have been used in a more biblical sense of the mandalorians scouting out their homeland, like the 12 spies. Kind of a deep meaning for someone writing the show to pull, but who knows. The mandalorians are very religious.
Din: "You did good kid." Din Grogu: "Thanks." 😂
They are the same guys from Episode 8, but I believe these are very early iterations. The ones guarding Snoke were supposedly supposed to be the best of the best! This version of them here is like right after the royal guard are gone and the praetorians are just formed :)
I have decided that Mandalorian martial arts should be called, "Rocket Fu". And I am totally here for it.
The Mandalorian is the most Baptist show on right now. Sacrifice. Forgiveness. Baptism. Community. Adoption. Family. Redemption. Restoration
Told you Grogu was gonna go beast mode. BTW, "Grogu Hardman" has a ring to it... LOL
I think Grogu is THE Mandalorian and you hit the nail on the head being a Jedi Mando. I think in the future he will be a huge part in uniting all our allies in something massive. Even in small ways, like when Lizzo makes him a knight.
It is very hard to compare s2 and s3. S2 was a masterpiece imo.
I knew s3 would be less good and with all the rumours regarding bobf and mando internal thing.
I wonder if the job mando took with the new republic will be storylines intended for rangers of the new republic? Will be interesting.
Great reaction as always. Can't wait for more!
Not surprising that it was possible for Moff Gideon to give his clones the ability to wield the force, since that's exactly what Snoke was.
Great announcements! You both are awesome. 👌😊
With the Moff Gideon clones, my first thought was that he becomes the Ba'al (Stargate) of Star Wars, just clones everywhere and you never know if you captured or killed the real one!
I am glad the "spies" thing wasn't true, feels way better this way. Cool finale! Ahsoka and S4 will be fun.
There are clues that the Armorer was part of called the Death Watch. They were a group of Mandos that followed Darth Maul. So there is some reasons to question her motives.
The dark sabre is broken and the mythosaur is still out there--setting it up for Grogu for eventually owning both. This is still early in the Din Grogu story not late in the Din Jarin story.
The king and queen are back !!!
I’m shocked y’all didn’t comment on Dave being in the scene at the rebel bar!!!! Tricky man loves his story
I don't understand why people think this season is al over the place, it's quite clear that they are bringing together the Mandalorians for their return to Mandalore and reinstating their culture there. In that sense this season is actually the most focused of the three.
Djarin has been practicing his Gun-Fu for the finale
The spies were in fact Elia AND the Probe Droid. We always discount the droids.
The Spie's is a biblical term (like a lot of the title in this season). Moses sent 12 scouts (spies original meanning) of each tribes ahead to the promise land to make sure it is safe to go. In this episode Bo (Moses figure) go to Mandalore with 12 Mandalorian to scout ahead for her people. That's all :)
Holden and Jen you have to remember that it was the Hilt of the Dark Saber destroyed so there might be a chance that there is a big enough piece of Kyber crystal of the Dark Saber that can be made into a Din Grogu sized light Saber where Din Grogu can complete his steps into becoming the next legendary Mandalorian Jedi and Mandalorian History keeper and Teacher to centuries of Mandalorian Foundlings 🤔
Season 4 has already been written
Even tho grogu hasn't had much of a point in s3 I like the effect of him being around. He has been through a lot of combat this season and we can see him growing in skill and also in mandos confidence in his abilities. We wouldn't have seen that progression if he wasn't there
