18:06- Actually, the intense heat from the exploding ship is more than enough to render even beskar useless since the armor doesn't cover the entire body and Moff Gideon would be cooked from the inside as it doesn't have A/C and he didn't take off with his jetpack as if something wasn't letting him escape. I think Grogu held the Moff in place long enough for the flames to engulf him before he then shielded Din and Bo.
Damn the last episode of the third season of the mandalorian was EPIC!! This season was incredible, Star Wars is getting better and better, I thank Disney who saved Star Wars from limbo!!
DISNEY : WE THE STAR WARS FANS.....ARE DONE.
I think the spray Grogu was using was the bacta spray. He was just enthusiastically making sure Din was okay
Of course it was Bacta. Remember when IG11 sprayed it on Din when his head was split open? First time Din removed his helmet.
That was adorable. He remembered that IG-11 “fixed” him that way, and he was going to make sure that he “fixed” him too. 🥹
yup, callback to s1 where ig11 healed Dins head with that spray :)
callback to Iron Man - the dummy robot spraying extinguisher Tony unnecessarily
Yes, I lol'd at that and went "that's now how bacta spray works, buddy!" 🤣
This is the mark of a mature, confident series. It didn’t need Thrawn, Luke, or Ahsoka because the story it told was epic and moving without them. The Return was the end of a story! We’re so thirsty for teasers, post-credits, and cliffhangers that we’ve almost forgotten how to listen to a single story. This season was the story of the return of Mandalore, and it was brilliant.
That iris shot at the end punctuates this. It focused on a vignette. This is is a snapshot of one of the best moments in their lives. We as an audience need that. Wherever the story goes, we can go back to this moment and remember.
Season 1: Grogu’s hand reaching up to Djarin
Season 2: Djarin removing his helmet to say goodbye
Season 3: Djarin and Grogu livin’ the life
It's a little thing, but I appreciate the fact that for Gideon to have broken the saber WHILE it was in Bo's hand means he had to have broken her hand, too. To that end, Katee doesn't use her right hand again for the rest of the episode, even when lighting the forge.
Nice detail, didn't catch that.
Caught that as well.
great catch
I did noticed she used her left to light the forge but didn't think about her hand being broken
@@mansaalman858 Yeah, right afterwards she is cradling it and doesn't use it to get up off the floor.
I've seen people complaining that Grogu didn't use the Force enough this episode. What I loved was how he used it. He didn't try to choke anyone, and mostly tried to avoid actively harming people. He used it defensively, and to protect others. His stamina is also improved.
Luke may have struggled with others, but it seems he did a good job teaching Grogu while he was with him.
Yes. The time with Luke taught Grogu how to channel the Force in a more efficient manner, avoiding the energy crashes that limited his ability to protect/defend.
YES, using the Force offensively leans toward the dark side and he’s very young and still learning . That would be dangerous for him
That's some nice character development, Grogu has become more mature, he dislikes and avoid violence whenever possible. An interesting choice, considering he is Mandalorian and the Children of the Watch are big fans of "violence first, questions later", but the right choice considering he has also trained under Luke
I also thought he used it in a way that allowed it to make sense for Djarin to defeat three Praetorian Guards. He essentially ran interference/crowd control by keeping them off-balance and disarmed. They’re very well trained, but not immune to being beaten when disadvantaged.
I have seen that too. Grogu only uses the Force heavily when someone he loves is in danger. He doesn't use it flippantly. Except for snacks.
The Armorer being a spy really turned into a Mephisto situation😂
Yeah, the spies are the Mandos. It's a reference to Moses' spies in the bible
Omg you’re right !! Lol!
New Rockstars. People have to stop acting like they're always right.
Oh jeez. I rolled my eyes when someone in my office told me that. No, just, no. What a dumb theory.
@@TheFiddleFaddle the only thing that made me think it was even slightly true was that Gideons helmet had the same horns as the armorer
It was nice of Axe Woves to give Gideon his ship back! What service!!
He could have cleaned the couple blaster marks off first... Rude.
Pulled up straight to his front door and everything. Even opened a window to aerate the interior!
Yes he did in style, sorry mate your MOT failed😂😂
That's why the episode was called "The Return"
a full return; right to the door. That's dedication !
The father-son team up against the Praetorian Guard was such a perfect way to demonstrate the evolution of their relationship.
The Mandalorians did this all on their own with no help from anyone in the franchise. No Luke, no Ahsoka, or Boba Fett. I found this finale to be very satisfying and loved it. I was looking forward all day to seeing your reactions to the episode. You guys are great.
100% this. Fans got bogged down in theorizing who would show up to save the day but the whole point of the season comes down to Bo’s line, that “Mandalorians are stronger together.” They needed to do it on their own to forge a new Mandalore.
@@chastitykolb9643 Yep. That was the whole point of their journey. Bring their fractured people back together as one and they did.
@@chastitykolb9643 Yeah, and it actually made me less bothered about the damage to the Darksaber. Leading Mandalore is about more than a weapon or a creature. I’m sure both will come back around in the future, but for now it’s Bo’s character uniting their people.
This series setups interesting possibilities for Din's emotional and spiritual journey that wind up doing nowhere. Like the Darksaber being too heavy for him to wield that felt like it had some great potential for some character development to learn about himself and connect with the blade (just like Sabine did in one of the absoloute best episodes of Rebels) but he casually passes it to Bo instead.
Or there's the removal of his helmet to let Grogu see his face that put him at odds with the Armorer and the rest of his clan. We could have dug into his relationship with a group this series has labeled a cult in its own words but he just goes to redeem himself and then sees the acceptance of Bo and her Mandalorians and just continues to leave his helmet on.
Having Din recused so quickly in the season finale where Din usually experiences some new level of personal growth it makes me wonder what the plan is with his character if there is one at all, because it seems like he's just spinning his wheels.
IMO it would have been more powerful if Bo destroyed the Darksaber herself. This is another thing this season that just happened to her ... she accidentally joined a cult, she was ordered to take her helmet off, then she was given the Darksaber and then it was taken from her. I think it does show character growth that she no longer thinks she needs to Darksaber to lead but I wish she decided to set it aside herself rather then having her enemy make that decision for her.
As for the final scene in the Living Waters, I don't know what to make of it. It seemed like a chance for more development for Din but the biggest emotional breakthrough was Din saying he'd adopt Grogu ...I mean yeah duh I thought we were already on the same page with that. The Armorer said Din was Grogu's father back in season 1 so that moment didn't really land for me.
And I don't know what to think of the Children of the Watch anymore. I feel like the Armorer's story has been bouncing back and forth. To me there seemed like a lot of emphasis placed on strict adherence to rules that didn't matter. Throughout the season I wanted Din to decide that being a Madalorian didn't mean wearing your helmet all the time, it meant living with honor. I feel like there's this tension between the removal of his helmet in Season 2 and then his immediate desire to redeem himself as if it was some kind of mistake. I don't think he regrets showing his face to Grogu, I think he knows where there are moments where the helmet should come off so I was hoping for more of a change on a personal level for Din.
@@donnamj59 The only one I was slightly hoping for was Boba, but I'm okay with him chilling on Tatooine sipping spotchka with Fennec and Krrsantan. As long as they bring him in for the movie!
Did anyone else notice Ragnar standing next to Axe at the forge scene? He's totally gonna be future father figure to honour Paz' death.
I did!
Same. That would be great that Axe takes Ragnar under his wing. As a way to honor Paz’s heroic act.
I love how they characterized fighting styles. Axe really makes the most use of his jetpack. maybe ragnar will take on his dad's strength and axe's speed.
Not only that, the Armorer conspicuously leaves out the line about never removing the helmet when he takes the creed this time. The Children of the Watch are become less cult-like and more accepting of other ways of thinking about the creed.
@@middle-aged-cal I noticed that, too! That was huge.
I love how Grogu was laughing as the guard was chasing him!
When Din says "you did good kid" at 14:59, I swear it sounds like Grogu says "thanks" lol
The spray Grogu used is the same spray IG-11 used on Din in the first season when Din had to take off his helmet after getting hurt. Grogu was really worried so he used too much ☺
This season was definitely like a love letter to all the kids that loved Mandalorians for decades.
12:27
Gideon talking to the Praetorian Guards before the battle:
"OK guys, I'm going to put a fog machine in the corner, you three need to hide between these containers and walk out halfway through the fight. Trust me it's going to look REALLY cool!"
lmao I figured they got lost in all the hallways and couldn't find anyone to ask for directions. Hell, Gideon had a map and didn't even find Din until Din was in his command room
I think this episode parked all the Mandalorian characters perfectly, in a really wholesome satisfying way, positioning them so that they can either pick up season 4 from here, or drop in and out of this world in any other series or cameo Din and Grogu... It was great!
All I wanted was son and papa safe and together, and that's what I got, so I am super happy with this last episode and ready for their next adventure.
Loved Din Grogu’s angry face.
I was bawling through this episode. First it was because I thought Din would die, then because I thought Grogu would die, then because Grogu was fighting back, then because Din Grogu...it was a worldwind of emotions. lol
Same - all of that.
My kids really enjoyed Grogu holding off THREE Praetorian guards as long as he did!
@@TKG889 well, he was running most of the time, but I enjoyed that they showed praetorian guards to be no joke. They were about to kill everyone in their way all the time, until something distracted them, or - their only weakness - using force against them, which Grogu did, helping Din survive and then taking them down, by stripping them of their weapons, exposing them to Din attacks and so on. Its clearly shown that Din would have died like 3 times against every single one of them, if Grogu didnt use the force.
Me too, I couldn’t believe how much I was sobbing for the exact same reasons.
Man, Bo Katan charging in with the Darksaber gave me so much giddy.
The Spies as the title of the last episode was both a misdirect and a biblical reference. While most of fandom was trying to figure out who the other spies were, a few theorized it was actually a reference to Moses and the 12 spies he sent to scout Canaan as a future home for their people. I first heard this on Omn1Media's channel so I can't take credit for it myself.
Wow I know the Bible and i didn’t even put that together 😂
That definition does make more sense. At first I thought the title was to reference Kane after she contacted Gideon and/or the
Spy-Network for the Shadow Council
This is complete hogwash and shows just how far you people need to stretch in order for this bad writing to make some kind of sense. You people constantly tell critics of the show to "turn your brain off" but you're going to the literal *Bible* to explain a poorly-chosen episode title that had no payoff.
@@Sangth123 the difference is that multiple episodes have been titled after the Bible so it tracks
@@Sangth123 It wasn't poorly chosen" nothing like that doesn't get planned out, it could literally have been chosen as a misdirect and if it was it did its job perfectly.
I love how everyone reads into this episode so hard. It was a great finale. You are the man Din Grogu
I wouldn't mind if this is the end of Gideon. He had an epic final boss fight with Grogu, Mando, and Bo Katan and I wouldn't mind at all if that's how he goes out.
Also, I do believe they meant for Ragnar's baptism to be the new generation who can choose their path, because at the first baptism, they were interrupted when she was making him swear to not remove his helmet. They skipped that part when they finished it this episode
Nice catch for that. I wasn't paying attention to words assuming they are the same as before
I like that the Armorer was pretty much like:
I mean, maybe Grogu could be an apprentice...if his parents gave permission....but gee where would I ever find that person? Do you know, Dinn? Hmmm?!!!
EXACTLY
I'm really beginning to suspect that the Armorer was Din's "mentor" that took him on as an apprentice and traveled the galaxy with him. Which would explain both his strict values and her slight favoritism of him.
Exactly, the armorer kinda forced Din (or Jarin?) to accept what we already knew.
"Then i will adopt him"
"He is over 50 years old - you are to young to adopt him Din Djarin"
"For fucks sake Armorer"
The next season of Mando and Grogu's adventures is going to be fucking amazing
Yeah, I’m glad they reset to make the show focused on that.
This was a story that needed to be told, but in my opinion was kind of a ‘two headed monster’ of a show
Totally agree. Feels like the writers at least wanted to get that right, make sure they let us know the coming seasons will go back to what we loved about the show in the first place.
I honestly just feel like the writers were forced to cram in tons of content into season 3 which they never intended to do but higher ups executives didn't give them any wriggle room. I've heard rumours they origionally wrote season 3 to be 12 episodes!
I heard it's supposed to be like the rangers of the new republic show that got canceled because of gian Carlo (probably butchered her name lol) I'm betting it's going to be din and carsa teva buddy cop
I'm so happy Axe turned out to be a real one.
THANK YOU for looking at the bigger picture and enjoying this episode for what we DID get and not what we didn't! While I can't pretend that this season was as strong as 1 & 2, I still think we got some really entertaining and meaningful moments - and I agree that the wholesome ending is the wrap-up respite these two deserved after all the drama and danger! Been a pleasure, guys - you're great!
+1
Absolutely love the ending on it. Plenty of loose threads to follow but also a great place to stop if that's a decision a viewer wants to make. Very cool of them to do it that way - not everything needs obvious cliffhangers to keep people going.
This is the way.
It is better than 1 & 2
@@sackthebastard Matter of opinion, but it's ok to disagree
The Mandalorian has always been a comic book journey of a protagonist & his sidekick. The adventure that they have together, & the people that they met along the way. Every season we were introduced to new characters, which have their own story arcs (apart from Cara Dune) or spin-off series (can't wait for Ahsoka). It's a pilot series with a purpose to expand Dave's & Jon's expanded Star Wars universe.
20:44 Din Grogu totally connected with the Mythosaur through The Force!!!
I absolutely loved the final mandalorian episode! It had everything you wanted great action scenes and heart-felt beautiful moments!!! THIS IS THE WAY!!!!
I loved the world building in this season and where we ended up at. Can’t wait to see Din going back out on bounty missions, hope we catch a glimpse of him in the Ahsoka series.
I really enjoy the enthusiasm and positivity of this channel. You guys are great. It always feels like I’m watching with my buds.
like i say, never trust rumors until you see it happens with your own eyes. Loved it, THIS IS THE WAY
A glorious end to Season 3! Holy moly, what a pretty divisive season of television this was. The battle on Mandalore was equal parts emotional and gripping.
Also, all hail Sir Din Grogu! Also also, goodbye, and thank you, Giancarlo Esposito for 3 amazing seasons as Moff Gideon. For the Mandalorian section of Star Wars, you played a phenomenal villain.
While I wish it was a bit longer, this episode was amazing.
Also also also, IG-11 as the new Marshall of Nevarro is glorious.
Now, it looks like we're going back to basics with Din and Grogu for Season 4. I think it's a good thing.
Yes, this season was overall decent. However, I still love the hell out of this show, and I'm looking forward to more adventures with Din Djarin and Sir Din Grogu.
*This is the Way*
I think this was GREAT! It felt so much like the OG Star Wars. It reminded me so much of a New Hope. And it felt like the same type of ending to that movie. It really felt like an homage. Couldn't be happier!
I definately reckon we're going to see Ragnar as an adult. He's an important character.
Ragnar* and I agree, hope he picks up the Vizsla name after his father
He's going to be the new Boba Fett
Ragnor rocks!
based on him standing next to axe i think axe will honor paz by helping to raise him. could end up being a cool fighting style combination of paz’s strength and axe’s speed and agility
Good to hear you guys liked the finale! Other channels have been complaining about it, and the season as a whole saying it's a letdown compared to seasons 1 and 2. I enjoyed it like I do most things in live action Star Wars. I don't go in with expectations, I just see what happens and I usually always find things to like about the shows or films. They're not always perfect, but they're Star Wars, so they're just cool as hell! They can be action packed, or just plain goofy at times, but Star Wars has always been that way since the very beginning. And, as an OG fan, I accept it for what it is, and love it! Can't wait to see Ahsoka!
Agustin saying “oh he just busted it” about the Dark Saber made me LOL
Grogu using the force to save Din and Bo was a throwback to Rebels❤❤❤
Yep. Almost got me weepy thinking about that moment in Rebels.
Yeah, that's what I thought, a kind of link to Rebels content and timely due to Ahsoka on the way of course.
11:25 So many "Seige of Madalore" vibes from this scene. What a great battle!
That iris shot was showing Grogu, who is Always hungry, lifting the frog, then putting it back.
When Grogu jumped, Din told Bo he didn't learn that from him, same for when he separated Paz and Axe.
In the fight with Gideon and with the guards he didn't harm any of them, he took their weapons and pushed them, but he did no harm.
He isn't a baby anymore, he has more self control, and he is living according to what Luke taught him.
He wants to be a Mandalorian, like his dad, but he already is living according to the Jedi teachings even if he never becomes a Jedi.
I loved the finale. A happy ending was well deserved.
By the end of this I'd come to love the character of The Armourer. I'd never considered before how the spiritual leaders of the Mandalorians would also be those that forged their armour.
More than that though, I loved the development of Bo-Katan as a character and love the fact that Katee Sackhoff got to come back and have this arc of character development.
I think returning IG11 was to say thanks. As Paz said to Bo. There is no greater honour than saving a foundling - and IG11 saved Grogu.
I could see a season 4 of Djarin and Grogu taking down remnants of the empire and uncovering Thrawn as they do.
Your enthusiasm for Star Wars is contagious! Thanks for the smiles❤
Cried my eyes out, my favorite episode of the season❤
I’ve already seen people complaining about how Din (+ Grogu a little) did his own escape from those two guards instead of another big character coming in to save the day but I loved it because it was like the Din from S1 & S2 who would fight several people at a time regardless of the “odds”. We didn’t get to see that side of him much this season so it was really satisfying
The only thing I would’ve liked included in the episode was a funeral or send off for Paz
Personal opinion on the interwoven stories, I love stories that not only share a universe but even can impact one another, but, I think there's a right and a wrong way to do so. Having characters from other shows come in and have a cameo, even having the events on one show have ripples in another is great. Where the Book of Boba Fett/Mandalorian crossover missed the mark in my opinion was that the reunion wasn't a cameo or a simple ripple effect, it was a major, massively impactful part of the Mandalorian story that didn't take place in a Mandalorian show. Having Din Djarin aid Boba Fett is fine. If something happened during that cameo that we could see recapped in some way such as a force vision and that's what leads Grogu to leave his Jedi training at the start of Mando season 3 then I'd say that was great even. But having such an important storyline happen elsewhere really felt like a big mistake.
All of that said however, I am someone that watches all the things and I loved this season and cannot wait to see where the series and the characters go from here.
My favorite scene is the side shot of Din Grogu holding back the flames.
I am SO ready for a Mandalorian-based video game. The ending is a perfect starting point for a quest collecting type game.
How awesome was it to see Grogu aka Din Grogu honne into his force powers ( which are Powerful)! I’m sure Star Wars fans are having mixed feelings about this finale, but I enjoyed it. I do have questions though, but I’m sure Season 4 is going to answer them. This Is The Way!!
I really love all 3 seasons of mandolorian …. Dave & John best creators beside Lucas…
This was such a satisfying finale! It made me emotional several times, so it was nice to have the biggest smile on my face at the end. The sad thing is having to wait like 2 more years to see them again
I agree with Agustin…this was a great episode and it IS important. Great reaction, Guys!
What I love, is that the show could literally follow a new character that is also a Mandalorian. This show could technically go on forever, as it's just called 'The Mandalorian' and that could follow any number of different types of mandos.
Mandalorian season 3 finale actually gave us a happy Star Wars ending WITHOUT anyone else dying.
I think this episode teased a potential Din Grogu Mythosaur moment. How cool would it be to see Jedi / Mandalorian Din Grogu riding a Mythosaur into battle?
Grogu going full Kanaan was epic!
This was such an awesome journey getting to watch this incredible show with all of you amazing souls. ❤
i can't believe bo-katan married the armorer in front of all the other mando's and now they're ruling mandalore together
It’s actually insane how epic Moff Gideon’s armor/helmet was. Like, part of me wishes we had gotten more of it. But who knows, maybe he isn’t dead? I mean that armor could have protected him.
My friend was like “man if only Qui Gon had R5 he would have survived” and I’m not talking to him for a while after what that comment did to me emotionally…..
I got absolute chills when all the Mandalorians were flying towards the base and Bo ignites the Dark Saber. That battle was EPIC!!!!!
I was a little disappointed they didn’t tease Thrawn or show him at all but overall it was a solid landing on the finale!
I swear you guys have the best adlibs “ a little resty rest” is da funniest shid ever 🤣🤣
We all associated Din as Grogu's dad, but hearing the Armorer actually say "Din Grogu", I felt that.
R5 being the droid version of Shaggy/Scooby is one of my new favorite things, thanks Hector.
Damn the last episode of the third season of the mandalorian was EPIC!! This season was incredible, Star Wars is getting better and better, I thank Disney who saved Star Wars from limbo!!
disney+*
I've always been the "let's get the Darksaber destroyed so that the Mandalorians start adopting more sensible logic for deciding the leader" camp so I'm very satisfied with where the show went.
This has been a weird, bumpy at places ride, but I'm happy to have watched a season of The Mandalorian in real time for the first time!
This season has had the best visuals in all star wars, especially the aerial shots, the interaction of ships and enviroment, the jet packs, the different planets from Concrete coruscant, the colors of Plazir-15, and war torn Mandalore.
I also hope Moff is still Alive, it will be such a waste, if this is just the end. I think this season , in just 2 episodes has put him in the top 5 Starwars villains....he gave me Vader vibes, from when i was a child....when i first saw Vader, i was scared of him...and Moff in his Beskar Suit....is pretty intimidating...great look...and Giancarlo has such a presence....the way he delivered his line ...." they were smothered before thier first Breath" beautiful
I LOVED this episode!! Watching it I felt like I was 6 years old again which is when I saw the og Return of the Jedi in theaters! I don't know why but I got serious old-school vibes that I've never got before from any of the newer films or series. And I like most of the newer stuff, but this episode felt different yet familiar. Loved it!
Thanks, Adam! Thanks, Hector! Thanks, Agustin! 🚀 Pedro warning us that the finale might be "too painful" was a fake-out. This was triumphant! Never saw sooooo many *rising* *phoenixes* (jetpacks) at one time in one place! #HeroesReforged #StarWars #TheMandalorian #DinGrogu
Season four will get the FULL gang together for a BIG arc. Bobba Fett, Fennec, Cobb Vanth, Krrsantan, Greef Karga, IG-11, The Mandalorians, The New republic... etc. etc. Should be a blast!!!
when Din got the shield and the staff thingy, he looked like Iron-man, Thor and Captain America fusion
Loved this season, and waited anxiously for your reactions every time.
Great job y'all.
Despite being a disciple of “no body, no death” for thirty years, I’m going to take a hardline stance that Moff Gideon is Dead, Actually for the following reasons:
1. Diegetically (and thus least compelling): beskar melts. He wasn’t being hit with one of those wrist flamethrowers; it was the explosive destruction of an entire capital ship. Dude was atomized.
2. Narratively: the possibility that Gideon survived can only undercut Grogu’s moment steering the flames around his found family. If Gideon had an “out”, then that opens the door for Din (and possibly Bo) to survive, too. It’s better storytelling if Grogu unambiguously saves them.
3. Thematically: Gideon coveted the Force, and freely admitted his inability to wield it was the only thing between him and perfection (his Achille’s heel, if you will). It’s a fitting end to his character, therefore, to die in a scenario that could only be endured with help from the Force.
Personally, I would take it as a very bad sign if Gideon shows up again.
Perfect anding for a fantastic season. I just hope we still get to see Bo Katan with Din and Grogu, their dynamic is awesome. And I'm really happy they destroyed the dark saber, that weapon was so problematic and the origin of so many problems for the Mandalorians.
i think theyre foreshadowing that grogu could be the next mandalore the great. they showed force sensitive gideon clones possibly react to grogu, and the mythosaur as well. and the dark saber has been destroyed and grogu has yet to make his lightsaber.
speaking of which, does the dark saber use a kyber crystal? i guess that thing is gone anyways from the base explosion
Over on On1Media's channel; someone in the comments brought up an old reference to the word Spies. The bible talks about how Moses asked one person from each tribe; to go ahead to see if the Promised Lands would be somewhere they could live. They were called 'The Spies'; which in this case, means scouts. So the episode The Spies; really meant the group of 12 Mandalorians, who went to scout ahead with Bo-Katan.
Din Grogu: Jedi, Mandalorian, and Knight of the Ancient Order of Independent Regencies. Little guy's racking up titles at an astounding rate. lol
ok. I've read other places ... something about the "Spies" from the previous episode. In this case the "Spies" were the Mando's that Bo-Katan took 12 Mando's with her to stake out Mandalore. It comes from the biblical 12 spies that Moses sent out to Canaan before the Israelites would settle there. There have been many Biblical passages, story tropes, etc in this season.
I would love if later on Grogu makes his own lightsaber out of beskar, with the little metal ball (you know the one) on the end of the hilt.
It would be a great mix of both Jedi and Mandalorian culture, which would be great for Grogu to be the first Mandalorian "Jedi" (not a formal jedi but you know what I mean) since Tar Visla.
A lot of stuff in Mando is very video-game like including the structure of the plot, but giving him his own home in a city he helped enough, where he can store all his loot from adventures now... xD That was the most video-gamey thing in mando so far, apart from side quest structure of most plots. Loved the Armorer in that jetpack battle! It felt like a massive superhero skirmish
Loved watching this with all of you!
*ALL HAIL BO-KATAN, THIS IS THE WAY!!* I’ve said for years that she could be the best ruler Mandalore has ever had, and she’s more than proven that. She was the true titular Mandalorian this season. I’m also so happy that the Mandalorians *FINALLY* have their home back but more than that, they have truly been united. And seeing the Great Forge reignited was beautiful. I still can’t believe how many people thought that one of the Mandalorians would’ve been a spy for Moff Gideon, especially The Armorer! What just because she’s mysterious, has horns on her helmet?!?! I blame the fact that the last episode was called The Spies, which was a horrible title because there has only been 1 spy and it’s Elia Kane.
Also, all I have wanted was for Din and Grogu, (I’m sorry, Din Grogu) to find a nice, peaceful and beautiful place to relax and call home. And all the frogs to play with/eat.
21:53 discussion of Grogu's walk fills my heart with joy
Is Hector wearing a directed by Bryce Dallas Howard shirt, 🤔. Love it
Yes!
Nice to see some appreciation for this season online. Some other channels just hating on it .
"My name is Axe Woves, I'm here to return the light cruiser I rented" Imperial agent: "where kinda busy right now, just park in that hole over there and will take care of it later". 😁
I think the Mythosaur is going to be another of those Bendu, Loth Wolves, Morai characters; someone with deep wisdom and mysticism to impart.
One thing I hated about this season was some fans and a lot of youtube channels (not yours) who get hyped up every week and come up with crazy theories about how it should continue and who should show up as a cameo etc. And that's ok I guess , but then when their exaggerated visions don't come true, they're upset and disappointed at how bad season three is. Sometimes it's better if the season comes out all at once, like with Netflix, than one episode every week.
Anyway, sorry about the rant. Amazing episode, top Star Wars. Great reaction, you guys rock.
That sounded like Paz Visla's voice when they all say 'This is the way' at the end.
Grogu will be the one to tame the Mythosaur!!! Calling that right now!!!
**"Din Groguito es Mexicaño"**
He's just snacking away on victory chicharrones in the rebels pub.
As far as the season goes, I’m good with it all. I’m really glad we got to explore Mandalore and the Mandalorians. I’m glad we were able to take a peek “behind the curtain” so to speak, and get the vibe of The New Republic (in over their heads with very little organization or oversight) which goes a long way in explaining how The First Order was able to rise so relatively quickly. I have no issues with Din and Grogu being part of something bigger than themselves, and actually having a hands on role in the reclaiming of Mandalore. That’s a big deal, whether people think so or not. As for the ending, I see it as a “soft-reboot” of sorts. Din and Grogu are once again a Clan of Two, going on adventures, learning the ways of the Mandalore and of course The Force.
Can’t wait to see where we go from here!
Excited to see the reaction and hear the discussion boys! lets goooooo
I really enjoy the sense of camaraderie this show brings. Love the channel.
This episode definitely had old school star wars vibes- just needed to be a 2 hour finale though 🙂
Great analysis guys, can't wait to see what'd next. 👍🏾
Thank you guys for being open-minded, and looking positively at the series and this final episode as a whole, and judging it based upon what you were given, rather than fan theories and speculation that didn'thappen. This final episode was epic in scale, and on a level with many scenes in the Star Wars movies. I'll be watching your channel more often.
Its been really surprising to me that not a single reactor channel I watch has mentioned anything about the fact that Ragnar's vow redo totally lacked the line about never removing the helmet.. which is where they were interrupted the first time.. I wonder if this will evolve into everyone eventually removing them or if its now a choice or will be one. in any case it just seemed odd no one seemed to notice.
I like when the guy said "I love these three" lol. Absolutely agree I don't understand the hate towards the Bo-katan character and the obsession of watching only the Djn character I think there is space for more than one or two main characters in a show and I liked so much the interaction between those three It was awesome and it made sense since this season was the story of reclaming Mandalore and Djn becoming part of the mandalorian people in their whole. In the beginning of the series he accepted contracts from everyone even ex empire officers now he accepts contracts to catch empire renmants because he now recognize them as enemies of his people and so his enemies.
Loved this episode and how they wrapped it up. Loved season 3 and thanks for all the honest perspectives and reactions. Big fan of your show. Thanks.
