The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1 BREAKDOWN - STAR WARS IS BACK

- as we begin the first episode of the mandalorian season 3, we get the armorer crafting a new mandalorian helmet, ceremoniously welcoming a young mandalorian boy into their creed of mandalorian’s which are the children of the watch. The same as Djin Darin. We also see Paz Vizsla there amongst them, who helped Mando in the first season. He’s pretty cool with his gattling gun. He also is a direct descendant of Tarre Vizsla I assume as they have the same last name. Tarre Vizsla was the first jedi mandalorian, whom i believe Grogu will follow suit eventually. Now, this creed is different from other mandalorian sects, in which a mando cannot remove one’s helmet in the presence of any sentient being. As they say their creed and swear on the names of their ancestors that they shall walk the way of the mandalore, a massive sea monster emerges from the ocean, giving major jurassic park meets star wars vibes.
Seeking retribution for his good will, we walks into the cave of the armorer where she says you removed your helmet, you are no longer a mandalorian. if we remember from the book of boba fett, he told her this and she said he’s no longer a mandalorian for this. The reason behind this is because they’re very traditional, they’re not like new mandalorians like bo katan who follow a more relaxed ideology and much less superstitious, but also to protect them by hiding their numbers. For it’s hard to track numbers by helmet as they can all look similar, but it’s easy to count by faces.
She says redemption is no longer possible since the destruction of mandalore.
He shows her a piece of crystal from Mandalore that Jawas bought from a random traveler. She is stunned to see it as it’s impossible for anyone to take anything from Mandalore, as setting foot on the planet would kill them as it is poisoned. Clearly, it hasn’t been, since he now has this proof.
She says this proves that mandalore’s surface has been crystalized by fusion rays, from all the bombing from the night of a thousand tears.
They leave to Navarro 7 in hyperspace, as Grogu looks out the window to notice massive space whales travelling with them in hyperspace. These are the Purgil we was from star wars rebels who helped Ezra and took him to an unknown place, along with Thrawn. I like how they showed this, it was a nice scene, and connects Ezra, Ahsoka, and Thrawn to the timeline. Maybe we’ll see them in this season of the mandalorian, maybe we will in Ahsoka’s show only. I guess we’ll see.
They head to Navarro 7 where we meet up with Greef Carga again, as he lands down and the town looks really clean and rennovated. Lots of life, merchants, aliens from all over. It’s buzzing with droids and beings. It looks great and very star wars, unlike Kenobi which barely had any aliens in it.
We come up to the IG-11 droid statue, where his parts have been salvaged as much as possible, and he stands as a becaon of hope to all for his efforts.
Grogu uses the force to spin his chair, which is the same thing Yoda did in revenge of the sith at the end of the film on polis massa, albeit he wasn’t doing it for fun, he just had to turn to talk to Obi-Wan and Bail Organa as his feet are too short to touch the ground.
They walk off and Mando gets offered the job of Ranger where he asks about Cara Dune, where it’s revealed she was promoted to special forces when she brought Moff Gideon in. It’s a better send off for Cara than saying she’s dead or something, but I still wish she was in the show and that Gina didn’t get fired. Moff Gideon was sent to a New Republic War Tribunal.
Heading to his final destination of the episode, Mando and Grogu arrive to kalevala, another planet in the mandalorian system and home to house Kryze as they come to a Mandalorian Castle…where Bo Katan is kicking her feet up on her empty throne, alone. They gave her a new wig this season and it looks very much like her animated form.
She’s melancholy because when she arrived back to her people without the dark saber, she lost all respect and her authority to lead them. She’s mad about it, and blames the children of the watch and all factions before it for dividing their people, instead of uniting them. She is of the new mandalorians who don’t care for such trivial uptight traditions like forbidding ones from removing helmets.
She says goodbye din djarrin in a nefarious tone…either she gave him some wack gps location where he’s gonna get killed, or she really thinks the planet is poisoned and he won’t make it out alive. Either way, she’ll probably go there to scoop up the dark saber from his lifeless body. The way she said goodbye with that jealous and angry tone, really makes her a questionable character now…is she an ally, neutral, or foe…i guess we’ll find out next episode.

What did you think of the first episode!?
Do you think we'll see Mandalore in episode 2?
I loved the foreshadow with the hyperspace whale from Star Wars rebels
Also the misdirection in the beginning with the child and then mando showing up was on POINT! 😂
Excited for your bad batch s2e11 breakdown too. This episode was one of the best of the season
A great first episode! In the trailer, when Bo Katan said, “Did you think your Dad was the only Mandalorian?”, I’m now starting to think that she’s talking to Boba. Grogu has already seen tons of Mandalorians unlike Boba, who has only seen Din, Bo Katan, and Koska Reeves. Boba hasn’t seen other Mandalorian clans and believes that Mandalore was completely destroyed by the Empire, etc.🤔 If they show a little bit of love to Jango and Jaster Mereel in this season, I’d greatly appreciate it!😁 Jaster’s name was canonized on Boba’s Chain Code in Season 2.😁
Great Episode start. 10/10. Early access viewers who were at the premiere said that Ep 2 is fantastic. I think we’re definitely seeing Mandalore next episode. I also think we’ll see him go back to Tattooine to get R5-D4 to help him out, as we see in the promos.
Great episode. Mandalorian is so much better than Andor and Kenobi it’s insane
Can i just say Greef haveing 2 droids just to carry his cape is hilarious
There’s a character named Greef? What a dumb name 😬🤦🏻♂️
I laughed at that to lol
@@tbountybay3080 have you watched the Back to the Future movies? Biff. That is all.
Hey man it’s Apollo Creed so he gotta be flashy always 🤣
Nah u can’t just say that
Was I the only one that thought the opening scene was a flash back??? The way they cast the kid to look like a young Din had me thinking it was. I was really shocked to see mando come in and save the day.
No, you were not. My mother thought the same.
One of the first Mandos to react to the beast was dressed very much like the original Boba from the first Trilogy.
I did lol
Yes I actually was surprised there's that many mandalorians of his clan still alive
Really? The kid looks nothing like din, the boy is a pale white kid. Pedro Pascal is Hispanic, I don’t see any similarities.
I love when Mando says "Grogu... His name is Grogu." Feels like it was for everyone calling him "Baby Yoda" 😅
I still call him baby Yoda sometimes
Exactly.. I pretty much say the same thing when people call him that.
(waves hand in face) his name.....is Baby Yoda.
literally had to be makes me more mad when they don’t know who Din Jarin is 🤣
He will also be Baby Yoda
Did anyone notice mando standing exactly like boba did in Jabbas palace in ROTJ? I thought that was kind of dope to see him standing behind high magistrate like that. Pretty much identical pose, being a hired gun, truly awesome and high attention to detail.
Only the uneducated Star Wars snowflake fans will defend garbage and these facts about this episode. Gonna cry uneducated snowflakes?❄️🤡😘😂. Here we go again, another episode of flying around leading to no where. Typical lazy writing by yours truly Mickey Mouse. He loves brainwashing the uneducated ones hoping they don’t pay attention to every single detail and continue to like and support their lazy story writing. Not me though, I can see right threw their bs lmao!🙄🤣💀. Sorry if I hurt y’all’s feelings but facts is facts and you know it too so don’t try to defend or sugar coat garbage. You’re only embarrassing yourself even more ❄️🤡😂😂😂💀💀💀.
I noticed that, thought it was a cool touch.
Absolutely. And Greef welcoming Din reminded me of Lando on Bespin; 'So good to see you' etc
me too! pretty cool!
I thought that was just a thing they did.
What I loved about this episode is how much more out there and fantasy it felt. We got pirates and a pirate King that looks like a seaweed monster, a mandalorian castle and ancient home for the Katans and giant hyperspace whales. This show is carrying that mythical feeling that the OG trilogy had
Meanwhile shows like Andor and Kenobi carry a very depressing non SW feel.
I personally disliked that. Original trilogy wasn't even quite like that in my opinion.
Yeah, it really felt like we were getting but just a peak into the lore of a galaxy far far away. I hope they continue to do this stuff, just throwing us into the strange yet alluring nature of Star Wars.
@@MsHojat
But the OT was like that. Anyway, if you don't like it, there are always other shows and franchises out there. Star Wars doesn't need to be "realistic" or depressing all the time.
@@CaptainphoenixofficialYT i feel like shows like andor resonate with people like him more.But this return to form for me is a plus
I find it funny that Bo laughs at Mando and his silly traditions ( not removing the helmet) but doesn’t bat an eyelash at her own silly tradition ( wielding the Dark saber)
The dark saber is a powerful sword, though. A mandalorian with a lightsaber is quite badass. Much like Grogu perhaps in the future.
She may find it silly but it wouldnt matter. Her clan dont give a shit about her unless she possess that old trinket. She even said it in a quite pretentious and mocking way that Mando should just wave that sword in front of them and they will follow. Like she knows it's all bs. But you cant change anything, any rule UNLESS you're Mandalore. Same goes for helmets on Mando's side.
Its really not the same though... Need we go back and take a quick history lesson on what happened the last time Bo took the darksaber instead of earning it...🤔
@@MotherOfSorrows Problem is, dark saber is not bullshit, unlike the mask of mandalore (kotor 2 thing) which is similar, the dark saber is ALIVE. Through the force it seems the dark saber has picked two owners with similar ideas, Sabine Wren and Din Djarin. Both are a mix of the new ways and old ways, both are willing to change but refuse to give up on their beliefs, Dark saber knows what it wants and when they went against it (giving up to bo) it lead to great harm and damage.
Kyber crystals are weird and by looks of it, it believes Din is the best choice to lead, if he likes it or not. Now enjoy idea of it getting heavy has it just being super annoyed at everyone.
It wasnt her who cared about the silly tradition of the Darksaber it was her fellow Mandalorians, once they saw she didnt have it they didnt care to follow her lead. The difference between never removing a helmet and the Darksaber is that one only affects the individual, like how Din Djarin is now considered an apostate , while the Darksaber, not only represents a unique mandalorian who uses a Jedi's weapon but it also is a symbol that can rally all Mandalorians to whoever wields the blade
Seeing the Purrgil may have been the most exciting part of this episode, didn't spend much time on it but it's definitely a clue as to what we will get with Ahsoka and seeing Sabine, Ezra, and Thrawn of course! Super excited for that!
Been way too long without this show
Yeah it felt like one of those classic SW magical moments. It was amazing
It truly felt like magic
Facts I lost my mind
@@jccccccyhjd same!
I screamed when I saw the Purrgil.
My dad was exited but didn’t know what they were.
My brother was annoyed because I’ve infodumped about the Purrgil to him before.
I feel like Thrawn and Ezra are basically confirmed now, really hope they bring Zahn in to write Thrawn
They won’t. They decanonized the EU
The Ezra foreshadow with the hyperspace whale
Yes! One can hope!
Will not be too hard for Zahn to write Thrawn! After all, he did write three books that feature the guy (Heir to Empire, Dark Forces, Last Command).
@@stevenyarnell 9 books, the three you mentioned aren't canon anymore and I prefer his character in the new ones anyway, way cooler story
Personally im super excited for the rest of this season its just what we need. The purrgil scene was beautiful.
Yes it was. I could've watch a full minute more of that.
what is what we need? meaningless and dull plot? this was absolutely horrible and pathetic. why do they keep shooting the crocodile when its clear its pointless? they just have to move away from it. yes, its only there so mando can come and shoot it, otherwise totally dumb.
then he just has a short talk, leaves, and in the city another meaningless dumb scene comes, the pirates insist on drinking when clearly there is no drink in the school. how effin stupid is that?
this leads to the big pirate ship, where, exactly, nothing happens, mando just fleas as its a huge ship.
then he goes somewhere else to have a short talk. and thats it.
all meaningless and dumb filler scenes.
if this is what you need, enjoy.
@@jdmfsdjs most NPC complainer comment
@@rylandbordeaux9826 why? was this not the episode like? tell me how was it interesting even to the smallest extent.
@@jdmfsdjs😘
Have to say Grogu spinning the chair with the Force grabbing the nut was amazing. Showing us incrementally his force powers have augmented since training with Luke
I really hope Din becomes Mandalore and stays wielding the Dark Saber. Paz is my favorite Mandalorian and glad he has survived to keep the Vizsla Clan alive. Din and Grogu will unite the Mandalorian Clans and take back Mandalore!
Same. I really hope they don't pull out the same BS from GOT Season 8 where Jon Snow doesn't become the new King. They better not do the same thing with Din Djarin.
@@dereklopez9060 spoiler
@@DarthShyon Its been 4 years lol
All the Mandalorians move to Tatooine.
Seems like there is a clear opportunity for Sabine to come in and train DIn to use the dark saber as the last persone we know of actually trained to use it by a Jedi.
Fun fact: The planet that Mando goes to at the end of the episode is called "Kalevala", which is another word taken from the finnish language much like "teräskäsi". As a finn, I find myself pointing at the screen every time Star Wars does something like this.
What does that Finnish word mean you mentioned?
@@ApricusInaros "Teräskäsi" translates to "steel hand" and Kalevala is the name of our national epic
@@ApricusInaros It's the name of our national epic/book from 1835. It's sort of like a lore book for finland.
Osottelin kans sormet pystyssä ku kalevala mainittii :D
@@nicmyers3456 Ayyy. ;D
I genuinely thought the kid at the beginning going through his ceremony was a young Mando flashback lol. Great episode (although it went quick), keeping with the western cowboy theme with the stand off and shoot out. Cool space fight scene too. Looking forward to more episodes 👍
Until the ship commander ended up being the adult drug addict version of “Oscar the grouch”
my first thought was tf Jango Fett alive?
thought it's Kylo Ren looool
@@StarWarsTheory I see the resemblance now 😅
They really used the Hasbro mandalorian helmets to put on him
I like how Bo bringing up superstitions ties to how Han felt about the force initially. Wonder if it’s for shadowing that the fountain has some actual power, perhaps is the key to why Mandalor May be healing itself allowing to be able to enter the surface? Interesting enough for a theory video I would say.

I’m thinking it’s strong in the force or something like that too.
yep, i had the same vibe at that moment too.
we are being told something, but it is veiled
from our view.
Bo-Katan was part of the upper class of Mandalorians who had access to information and history. She is however a pragmatist and not prone to traditions.
The Mandalorian has shown that some superstitions are indeed superstitions, such as how the Armorer described the Jedi as sorcerers. The Mandalorians have not been on their own planet since the Clone Wars so younger Mandalorians are told stories of what happened to it. Bo Katan is of the previous generation and Din Djarrin is not.
@@SantomPh agree 100%
worlds ugliest robot who
now has a heart of gold because
of Kuiil.
Also, Kaytee, i can't think of any
actress in the world who could
pull off Bo they way she does...
2 very good decision that keeps paying
back dividends to the show
Wow, Disney just doesn't make good decisions
like that in a row; chalk up another win for
Jon and Dave
When he spun the starfighter, I was like, “Hey, he tried spinning. That’s a good trick”
It feels like forever since season 2 ended. I'm so glad that Mando is finally back with a great first episode. Great breakdown as always Theory.
3 years
Wdym that episode was horrible
Yeah And I just watched Season 1 and 2 again few months ago XD
@@Boba_Fett-zq8uj Ur name explains why
That opening scene when he saves all the Mandalorians was SO BADASS. I thought at the time that it was some kind of flashback scene or was taking place in the past, so his entrance was a shock and damn good
@♜𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 StarWarsTheory lmao it’s 2023, you think this shit still works? 😂
Seemed kinda cheap... These dudes are trying to slay the dragon with sword and spear and then you got _that guy_ who shows up with a nuke and looks around like he accomplished something... *Its not good sport, its not a good hunt, its not an honorable kill.*
right. I thought the kid was mando
I also thought the kid was Mando and that it was a flash back and thought he would kill the beast as his first feat. However once Din Djarin shows up I thought it made the others lame. One mandalorian and a guy with Mando armor could destroy the Giant sand dragon but a whole bunch of Mandos cant handle one smaller beast?!?!?! I mean come on! They are supposed to be the best warriors yet they depended on the main protagonist to save them. I know the writers were trying to make Mando look cool and heroic but its at the cost of the rest of the Mandalorians who now look weak.
It doesnt sound like she believes in the darksaber, but still needs it because all of the other Mandolorians do.
I think they are setting Djinn up to be the king of a restored Mandalore, and that he will get a mythasaur sooner or later. And I hope IG becomes a mainstay regular. I actually had his action figure when I was a kid LOL. I was 9 years old, and didnt know who was who, but all the lesser characters tended to be more popular. I remember waiting in line a week after the show first premiered, for HOURS. We eventually moved over to the shorter line for "Logan's Run" which was also playing, and then bought popcorn and snuck over to the Star Wars side....LOL Crazy to think how long ago that was.
You had IG-88 most likely. This is IG-11, but yeah I totally agree with you. The scenes with IG doing battle are some of my favorites in the show.
seeing how Mando lives, he would name someone else to lead.
@@noonce Yeah it was IG 88. I had no idea wth he was, but he was cool. I remember waiting in those crazy lines to see this, and what alot of people never mention is that it was like that for a couple of years. The movie came out when I was 7, and when I was 9 or 10, there were STILL lines to see it. As it stayed in theaters a long time. (So did Jaws and Grease, but although those were huge, they didnt hold a candle to this ones popularity).
What I think, friend..... This movie is nostalgia personified. And at least this show (Mandalorian) seems to be in great hands. Too bad this team didnt do all the other star wars projects. They probably wouldnt have flopped the way they did. Mandalorian "feels" like old school Star Wars.
Happy to have Mando back. I really liked the first episode and I think this season will deliver. Plus, I think the purrgil is a good hint that Sabine will appear later in the series. Hope she plays a role in the story, especially since she was the rightful owner of the dark saber. So I'm excited for this season. Especially since we're getting more into the Mandalorians lore and world.
technically Darth Maul is the rightful user of the Darksaber as he was the last person to actually defeat the owner. Wren took the saber from Maul's hideout and then gave it to Bo-Katan (who somehow lost it to Gideon). As Obi-Wan actually killed Maul in Rebels though, the Darksaber actually should have gone to him. Vader defeated Obi-Wan ,then was defeated by Luke. Hence Luke is actually the master of the Darksaber!
@@SantomPh yes but when Obi Wan killed Maul, he wasn’t using the Dark Saber. I wonder if this affects anything.
the episode began with the armorer pouring some magical water into the cauldron, and the big cliff hanger at the end of was that "there's nothing magical about the mandalorian water". i feel like there's a connection there, maybe the way din's cult were able to create their armors was through preserving some of that magical water.
Maybe thats where beska gets it properties from is the water
I was about to comment this as well. There is for sure some effect of the water as it leaves the vial. Maybe that is how true beskar armor is created that is impervious to everything, as opposed to the beskar alloys most mandelorians have. Maybe Dins clan passed down this secrete for generations and that's why the armorer knows how to do it and has the superstition about the water since it seems to have "magical" properties making the beskar insanely strong.
She did this in previous seasons also when forging weapons or armor.
Some people doubt hokey religions and ancient weapons.
Force imbued water?
I think the way Bo says bye to Mando was just Katie Sakoff trying to stay true to her animated character. It instantly reminded me of season 7 when she says bye to Ahsoka… “goodbye… Ahsoka Tano.” Maybe I’m wrong but I think she might be trying to keep her voice acting consistent between animation and live action.
its AHSOKA

I enjoyed this episode immensely, the back to Novarro part was incredible both because it showed the growth of the community and the people working together could make it a powerhouse of a port along the Hydian Way, and because the Wild West stand off with the pirates was very entertaining. I enjoyed the culture we got to see with the Children of The Watch bringing another Founding into their family. I thought it was awesome to see the ceremony and swearing in. I also thought that it had some Christian baptism vibes to it also. The dogfight with the pirates sang ESB to me and it was fantastic! Also I don’t much feel bad for Bo Katan. She is a great and capable warrior, but she never achieved great victory without outside help, Asoka helps capture Maul, Din Jaren provides the location of Moff Gideon etc. She was gifted the Darksaber and lost the Throne after. She is salty now her time has passed in my opinion. Awesome episode!!
@@LubberKing I have enjoyed Star Wars content for over 20 years, some I enjoy more than others. Not everyone will like the same things or enjoy it to the same degree. Differences of opinions are part of what makes Star Wars so great. It would be quite boring if we all liked the same thing, or viewed what’s entertaining and what isn’t in complete uniformity.
From the yellowish Star Wars font in the beginning, the call backs, practical effects…everything… it just feels like great Star Wars. So glad it’s back. Just makes me happy.

I’m glad you brought him up, he looks like a mix of Atriox from Halo Wars 2 and Infinite, and Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean

No, Atriox was only seen in Halo Wars and Halo Infinite

I absolutely enjoyed this episode. It was great to see Mando, Grogu, and Greef Carga again. I am also soooo very glad that they did not just kill off Cara Dune, I was overjoyed to hear that she is still alive and wish that we had her back. I actually thought that the opening scene was a flashback to when Din was first given his first helmet and integrated into the creed. I also cannot wait to see what happens in the next episode. Love your breakdowns and reactions, they have always been things I like to watch whenever I need to relax and enjoy some Star Wars content. I continue to wish you luck with Vader Episode 2 and can't wait for more episodes and breakdowns.
so your enjoyment was that you see mando grogu and greef carga. thats kind of lame, dont you need an actual plot? scenes where something happens? this episode was horrible

Hondo Onaka WOULD NEVER-
Really solid Premier and setup for many many things coming, loved the Nod to Ezra and Thrawn during the hyperspeed scene..
I just dont see how this could be considered a solid premier for the series. The whole episode was all over the place. Like why the hell do we need to bring back the IG droid? This makes its sacrifice in season 1 lacking any meaning. This show is starting to go downhill I fear, though I hope I'm wrong in this.
@@RileySH I somewhat understand your distaste in the IG thing..a lot of people shared your point before it came out in the leaks..but it isn’t that deep truely to call this season like over with or dead already, I think it was more so them wanting a machine suit for Grogu prolly thought it would’ve blew alway the fans not knowing maybe half wouldn’t agree with bringing him back with such an initial huge sacrifice in season 1. I’m 50/50 myself on the Droid being back and how they’ll execute it.
@@rello2x yeah, you're probably right. My problem is mainly with Grogu himself. I just grew to really dislike him, cringing through every scene he is in and always serving a "look how cute he is and how powerful in the force" role. Rather they just left him with Luke and moved on from this plot. Now he stays to make Mando babysit him probably for the rest of the series.
Great way to start the series! Next episode is supposed to have another Rebels connection and it's 46 minutes long!

She won’t lmao. She got cancelled. Dumb Twitter things.
Even if Disney allowed it, Gina is never coming back. Maybe years from now if she suddenly needed the money but otherwise no

Not me though, I can see right threw their bs lmao!🙄🤣💀. Sorry if I hurt y’all’s feelings but facts is facts and you know it too so don’t try to defend or sugar coat garbage. You’re only embarrassing yourself even more ❄️🤡😂😂😂💀💀💀.
I'm sooo tired of reading negative reviews and hearing people criticize this show and other new star wars creations..I'm 48 yrs old and can't get enough..the Mandalorian is an excellent show. Period. My only regret is that they aren't longer and that I have to wait so long between seasons. Looking forward to every Star wars project to come. Keep up the good work.
The opening scene alone with the battle against the sea creature, and the entire chase sequence between Mando and The Pirates gave off Prequel Vibes
@telegra251 nice I have a stalker 😎
I interpreted what Favreau said about the timeline differently. I thought he was saying that it’s been 2 years since Grogu left with Luke to train, not that he was training with Luke for the entirety of those 2 years. Favreau also said that there will be a timejump in between the last episode of BOBF and chapter 17.
I really wish to see more of Boba Fett being part of this core story getting Boba that mandalorian respect and redeeming clones and his father.
Read his legends story he does all that
@@joeyskywalker1322 thats the thing, its legends story not cannon anymore.
They already had a whole series with boba fett and ruined him. That’s why he’s called. Beta Fett now. It was that BAD!!
@@veeclash4157 I know right. I wish the show got more Mando level of production and writting.
while Boba rightfully claimed his armor and his heritage, he is not tied to whatever crusade the Mandalorians are on.
When I saw the Purgils, I got my hopes massively up for seeing Ezra Bridger again. I really hope I'm not disappointed.
most likely in the ahsoka show
favorite first episode so far. i was giggle-crying half the episode.
That's concerning
Pretty subtle start to the season its looking pretty amazing.
I was surprised how dejected Bo looked from where she was earlier in reference to season 2 where she was more confident
I like how she was just sitting on a stone chair for however long 😂
I watched someone who covers the parks live reaction to this episode. He said that the way they made Navarro look really gave him the feel of Galaxy's Edge. Makes you wonder if they're just trying to make that feel more Star Wars or if they'll change the lore behind that park for it to be Navarro
I felt like a kid watching this episode. It’s so much fun.
What a great start to the season. Looking forward to what adventures they go on.
Nice start with the all of the children of the watch battle against the beast. Awesome that we got to see the pergills. Nice call back to Rebels. Didn't like the story of Cara Dune, but at least they didn't have her killed off screen. Loved the space battle between Din and the pirates. Edit: how can they even salvage the IG 11 parts if it was COMPLETELY DESTROYED in the recap?
The fight wasted 1/4 of the episode and the rest was drawn out and boring. I know 37 minutes is short but it still felt too long and forced.
It’s Star Wars your logic doesn’t work that way in this universe lol why do you even ask a question regarding IG -11’s parts being able to be salvaged, you think they don’t have the fictional tech to find them or what
@@StarWarsExposed so what you expect the entire 37minutes to be filled with action and sacrifice an on going story sequence purposefully in episodes? The hell are you expecting if it were you who directed an episode it would be done in 3 minutes and suck
@@ArnoldSquashaNigga I do not have a studio run by a company worth billions. Who’s logic really sucks here?
@@StarWarsExposed bro we still have 7 more episodes of the season
I watched Bad Batch first and then Mando, I was just more excited to see Bad Batch and I wasn’t disappointed. I like both episodes but really enjoyed the Bad Batch more.
At least Bad Batch is finally doing something. I liked both as well, but the Mando premiere was more a setup for the rest of the season while BB may be turning a corner.
Short episode was a bummer but I liked the parts I did see. I forget how to spell their name, but the space whales that Grogu saw definitely confirm my Ezra/Thrawn suspicions and I’m waiting to see if my hunch about mando being the reluctant leader of mandalore comes though. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and I think this will parallel between his doubts and conquering the darksaber.
I didn’t think that no one else could fix IG, I just figured no one tried… Greef is in charge and no one probably offered to try because Greef never said to. In his mind IG was done for.. I’m sure if they actually tried to fix him, they probably could have.
I see Dinn as more of a skilled handyman than an expert of any kind… he’s just a self sufficient type who can keep a ship running long enough to get it to an expert, keep his armor and tech working well enough to keep him alive, and fix up or hack the occasional bit of tech for a job or whatever. He’s more of a cool uncle who can do lots of stuff pretty well but he’s not an expert at any particular skill. That’s why I like him… he’s not a superhero.. he gets beat up, or makes mistakes. He does dumb things or fails sometimes… he’s like the original John McClaine before he turned ridiculous in DH4-5.. I like Dinn because he’s just a resourceful guy who happens to be in the right time and place and is willing to work hard to take advantage of a good opportunity.
My head canon saw Ezra Bridger riding one of the purrgil and just looks at Mando:
*"LiKe A bAnThA!"*
I didn’t know the Yoda was using the force to spin himself around. Gonna go watch now 😂 Thanks man always informative
While I really enjoyed the Mandalorian episode, it felt very much like just a recap, almost really reinforcing what we already know of him going to Mandalore. In a way, I kinda wish more was done just because the season is only 8 episodes, but it's still a pretty okay start. I'm sure episode 2 will be about getting the part for IG-11.
And then episode 3 will be about how the part he found doesn’t work, so he has to get another part. IG-11 should be back to normal in about 4 episodes lol
@Nateebanks knowing Star Wars, you probably aren't too far off with that😂 im also expecting more cameos thrown onto the season, too.
Yeah I agree, the episode was honestly kinda pointless
The story is trying to reset itself to season 1. Mando and Grogu on the run doing random fetch quests. Idk there were great sequences in this episode, but the story didn’t go far.
Please please no we do not need episode 2 to be Mando finding a part to fix IG11 and Mando finally goes to mandalore in episode 3, that would suck so hard just get on with it already move on with the plot we don't anymore filler PLEASE IM BEGGING
hey theory, idk about anyone sense but i actually really enjoyed this episode. it’s been awhile and i have a feeling this show is gonna top the other two! thanks for the breakdown!
Grogu in little mando armor would be AMAZING
5:29 I hope Sabine shows up, if Din Djarin rallies all the mandalorians under his rule it would be cool to see her in live action while still having her coustume painted armor.
7.5/10 for me, good start to the season with lots of stuff in this episode, I think it just felt rushed with the episode only being 30 mins. Everything was crammed together making it seem like there was no direction with the episode. Other than that and a little bit of clunky dialogue, it’s a good setup for the rest of the season.
Yeah i agree
Apparently from a few comments ive seen, next episode should be 46 minutes long, not counting the end credits. But that might just be a rumor
Notice how all of the main scenes would have worked without Grogu in them. Makes me think you're right Theory--the script was already there and higher ups really did force Grogu back in early for marketing purposes
Love your theory that ties bad batch and mandalorian together. I was also wondering if Filoni was going to do something to tie his episode with the new mando one
People keep saying that Paz’s blaster is a “Gatling gun” but it’s not. It doesn’t rotate or move at all. The barrels just take turns firing.
Damn. Jon and Dave really gave Cara a respectful sendoff by promoting her
Man, Paz said that he literally was from the same Vizla family and that's why the sword should belong to him prior the duel in the book of boba fett when he contested Din. Little confused that you of all people would forget that 🤔
Do you mean TBOBF?
@@frank_da_tank thanks i edited it now. Mixed them up for a second.
I think it was funny seeing Mando miss half if not more than half of his shots on IG-11 even though he’s supposed to be a good shot 😂
in IG-11's defense he is a very skinny bot
He it tho?
It was so weird hearing the name Sundari mentioned again, knowing how peaceful it once was with Satine before things were thrown into chaos.
Seeing the hyperspace whales was cool too. It really makes me think of Rebels and Ezra being in a ship with it being grabbed by the whales.
I didn't realize Katee voiced Bo-Katan in TCW and played her in The Mandalorian. Idk how I didn't know.
Compare how dark and gritty the opening scene of season one is, to watching an army of super soldiers lose a struggle to a crocodile perfectly demonstrates the downward spiral this show is on.
Aimless. Unremarkable.
I think IG crawling on the floor with one arm is paying tribute to the original Terminator movie!!!
I love how the helmet for the kid Mandalorians are basically the Boba Fett helmet toy from Hasbro
Hey man, I haven't had a chance to see the episode yet, so thank you so much man for keeping spoilers out of the thumbnail, it really means a lot!! I'm super exited to see the new episode and want to be suprized when I see it, so thank you for doing your thing respectively. You've got mu sub and views for life!
Vader is Luke’s father
@@Nomadicgear-sd6tw 🤣
There’s nothing to spoil. Nothing of substance happened
Gotta say, the design of the Pirate ship this episode was incredible. Looked very similar to the Eclipse-class dreadnoughts from Legends.
Side note: I'm still hoping we'll see how Bo Katan lost the Darksaber in the time between Rebels and this show. Still feels like that's a major plot point that has yet to be explained.
I think it’s a stolen star hawk. Looks similar to that shown in squadrons
Thank you saying, 'This guy is LITERALLY Swamp Thing." I've been saying it all day. hahahaha
As someone who has visited Lake Powell many times for boat trips in my life, seeing it at the beginning of the episode caught me so off guard but made me so happy
I’ll never understand the people who say The Mandalorian isn’t good Star Wars. It was so exciting being back in the Mandoverse
Because Grogu went back to the Mando instead of staying with Luke which would have been more interesting. Din and Grogu at this point is just old news
Not to be rude but it's just boring. The 1st season was just unwatchable and the 2nd one was about constant cameos. It is really hard to watch, that's why I prefer TBB. It has much more interesting overall plot and is set during much more interesting times.
@@yunglorn Exactly although I don’t like TBB either
@@StarWarsExposed I absolutely understand you. Might feel overwhelming cuz of the fillers but when it's good, it's REALLY good, like top tier level Star Wars (today episode for example). Besides, I'm a sucker for the animation :D
@@yunglorn yeah but that’s the thing, one good thing even if it’s a banger does not give a trash series a free pass
Great CGI! The planets, aliens and creatures all looked very realistic. The CGI Techs on the Mando Show need to hold a Master Class for the Marvel folks. Like yesterday!
Loved the "Mando Baptism" scene blending religious elements with a Monster VS man Fight Scene. Really glad Din Djarin saved the day. Great space battle. Din turned the pirates into jelly.
My only criticism is of the Nevarro Scene. Dialogue was very clunky between Greef Karga & Din, and the failed resurrection of IG-11 was kinda stupid. Overall, this was a great start to SE3. I give it a 7.5/10 or 4/5. Great to have Jon Favreau back!!
Everything looked like puppets/robots/prosthetics to me. Can't say it looked amazing but certainly looked fine and kept the original star wars look and feel.
I really want to see boba claiming and obtaining the role of mandalore. As much as I like din djarin, I really want some good writing for Boba to be portrayed as badass as they made Din
I hope that’s the case too. They did Boba dirty in his own show. They need to make it up to Tem, who is so passionate about the Fetts. There are rumors that the Mandalorians will use Tatooine as a safe haven at the end of the season. Boba would be somewhat their leader then. Haha
@@ihaveafettfetish9348 oh I def want to see boba come to mandalore and kick anyone's butt that is opposing him. Even if it's Din. Let him even gain the dark saber by combat and siege to rule mandalore against the empire or any threats the mandalorian may have, also I was disappointed to see the mandalorians failing to fight that giant alligator/crocodile instead of trying to pet it like ancient mandalorians would do
But what motivation would boba have?
@@rubbersoul9462 I'm not 100% sure but it happened in some EU comics
@@ihaveafettfetish9348 Boba Story in Legends is so much better he actually brings glory back to Mandaolore
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a mando/pirates of the Caribbean crossover. Was really the only thing I didn't like.
Aaaaand subscribed….
So excited for this. I got really really into Star Wars in May last year when I watched Mando for the first time. Got sick and had to stay home from work for a few days and binged watched Boba, Mando, and then watched everything in timeline order.
Glad I found your channel too. I always go to you first if I have questions about the lore.
You watched all the shows ?
I do believe that you are correct. Mandatory is a secret cloning facility, but what would they be cloning there? I loved the episode. I hope we get to see Ezra which in the timeline is right around this same time now.
It was a super solid intro ep to the new season, I honestly can’t wait to see what they have in store for us
Solid intro? It was drug out, boring, and slow
5/10 at best
I would really love to know why so many people think it was a super and great episode. What you all saw that I didn't
Grogu saw the Purgil in hyperspace. That foreshadows Ezra. And Thrawn. Perhaps even the Unknown Regions. Enough Freakin' Said!!! I loved seeing that.
The Mandolorians fighting the giant crocodile was tactically stupid. Entering the water in armour and trying to rope it.
Couldn't imagine a better season opening! Some really nostalgic moments. On the other hand.... Not even a slight show of gratitude to Din for literally saving everyone's lives...they truly are one effed up cult. And he still wants to atone and be accepted back. Really hope he comes to see this is not the only way.
it says the invite has expired
I thought the Pirate stuff was the COOLEST THING EVER!!! It would be cool if the show created a circumstance to where mando has to work with the pirate. They even had pirate sounding music. Such a crazy feeling combining pirates of the Caribbean with Star Wars! What a strange but amazing idea
The structure just felt kind of all over the place in this episode. Like that whole entire thing with IG 11 was kind of out of nowhere. Do we really need to bring it back?
This episode was so pointless lmao
Favreau is a mess when Filoni isn't involved. He's going to ruin this. You'll see.
That’s how I feel about all of The Clone Wars and Rebels stuff leaking into the show. Filoni just won’t let his fan fiction die, no matter what time frame it’s in.
@@kennykistler6735 I agree. He struggles so hard with structure.
I’m glad there’s at least a few of us that are feeling this. This episode was a mess. And extremely underwhelming for being over two years since the last official episode..
01:40 Paz Vizsla is actually the descendent of tar viszla and comes from the house vizsla. He stated that in the 2 mando Episodes in Book of Boba Fett.
You can tell the show now has a bigger budget. But two years??? No way
IMO, this was a good episode to start the new season! While I do think that it could’ve been just a bit longer, I still enjoyed it. Seeing the purrgil from Rebels was a pretty cool moment, setting up the return for IG-11, and the possibility of Din making a choice between being the leader of the Mandalorians or simply settling down on Navarro and being its new marshal. I’m curious about how things will be going with Bo Katan because it sounds like she’s at rock bottom right now, and there is the possibility that she might want to get back the dark saber so that she can become mandalore again; she didn’t look all that happy when she saw Din with the dark saber after fighting Gideon. All in all, good episode, and I’m really looking forward to what will be coming next!
Yes they did burn film time on the space chase scene and a few other non-acting scenes.
You modern star wars fans just slurp up any shit they throw at you no matter how bad it is
Chapter 17 (Episode 1) was a great start to kickoff Mando Season 3. We got space Purrgill, the return of General Grevious , hilarious Anzellans crew, "Let's they spinning" space battle, a depressed Bo Katan chillaxing on a stone chair and some new end credit artwork.
Definitely looking forward to Chapter 18 next week. This is the way!
The return of General Grievous?

Anyone who played star wars galaxies would remember that artisans could hire advertisers, be it a Droid or a fleshy being. So seeing the protocol Droid advertising brought me back to star wars galaxies.
With the great reputation of Beskar armor, wouldn't everyone run to Mandolore to mine it if it wasn't poisoned? After all, abandoned and without its Mandolorian protectors, who would stop the mining operations, if not poison? And if this was not the case, Beskar would be more abundant on the market due to the uncontested mining operations. But personally, I would like to see the planet poisoned, as indicated. And the act of bathing in the waters to be a treacherous one where Din almost loses his life. This would make the redemption so much more worthy.
I can't believe you didn't mention that the pirate ship is a ship similar to the eclipse Palpatines stardestroyer. I yelled it when I saw it. And the sneak attack by the monster in the beginning of the episode is just like crocodillians of today. They ambush their prey from the waters edge just like that. And what about the young warrior in the ceremony. He never swore never to remove his helmet.
Right? The resemblance is uncanny and I'm rather disappointed that SWT didn't even bother mentioning it.
Great season opner man. Short runtime, but it felt well paced and engaged the whole time. I can't wait to see Mandalore, and bro I was SO hoping the pirate was going to be Hondo. The Purrgil scene was done so well! Great breakdown and see ya next week!
I was thinking the exact same way! I was thinking with cad bane being introduced with Boba fett that maybe we'd see hondo, I was excited but man I'm still interested with them pirates and whoever that leader is
@Tristo Heck yeah and same!
One thing I really dislike is bringing back IG-11... He had a great death and it kinda ruins the point of Mando development in to "not all droids are bad" now just revert back to this specific droid..... I dont think IG-11 is necessary to even bring back.
I felt like Din made it apparent that he needed IG-11 for his quest to mandalore, more then likely because he needs a droid to make sure the atmosphere is safe for humans first and foremost and he’s a one droid wrecking crew😊
And to map it for proof of his exploration, to present to the armorer.
Plus he'd make a great babysitter for Grogu 😆
I wish they'd have just left him dead. It kind of takes away from his sad death scene from earlier when you know they could have just repaired him at any point if they really wanted to. Feels like there's no reason to worry about lovable droids dying anymore since they did the same thing with C3PO
@@MatthewBrown-sr9zv technically droids cannot die , which is what their appeal is all about. They have to be completely destroyed like K2-SO
This may be just me, but Bo was giving off severe "Wine Mom" energy on her throne.
A more chillaxed group of mandalorians, except for the dark saber and not following someone just because they don't have it
I liked how she talked about superstition and mando through it back at her with the saber... I do hope that she follows him, sees that it is fine and maybe goes into the waters to start to believe. or that the armorer will show up and then those to fight to find out they were siblings or related somehow.
Either way this was a great way to start it. I wish it was longer but don't we all.. keep up the fun vids and perhaps I will be able to do the watch party when you do it if work doesn't get in the way lol.. cheers.
Rewatching the episode today had some takeaways. -Felt like they gave Moff Gideon the same treatment as Cara Dune(“Off somewhere else not in this season”). -Seems like Mando wants the droid back before exploring Mandalor so we won’t see the planet until the droid is fixed. - Bo actually tells him to go wave around the saber and lead mandalor
Great more fetch quests
that particular droid was nearly indestructible; a good
reason to take it along to explore Mandalore.
"Seems like Mando wants the droid back before exploring"
Seems like Disney seen how well that droid was liked and was like oofffff we better bring it back.
@@MrPanetela IG-11 has also seen his face and can administer treatment if needed without violating the creed, being a droid.
