You're the only reactor I think really understands this season. It's been so much fun. I really love what they've done with Grogu this season. And now they are officially a family. ❤
Kyle Katarn is a good one too but agreed I feel some reactors are too critical of this season I call it the endgame effect. Once you have something epic people always expect epic but once things don’t meet that they overly hate
@@deathking1019 Not just that, people have their theories and expectations. And when they are looking for something specific they aren't open to what is presented, so they miss out on what they show is trying to convey.
@@ViolettaVie yup that’s why many ended up not liking the end of wanda and vision because every ep they are like “Maphisto! or multi verse!” they expect too much
THEORY: The Armorer is Din Djarin’s adopted mother, and that’s why she looked away when she said “…just as your teacher did for you.” She was getting emotional, realizing her son was finally truly leaving the nest. And also the way she said “This is the way” when he said he would adopt Grogu. He’s doing for Grogu what The Armorer did for him.
I love that Din has gone back to being that "gun for hire" by the end of this season. He went on a journey of literally thinking of Grogu as just another job, realizing he needed to do something about it, taking him under his wing, and now adopting him as his own son. Finally a GOOD FATHER in Star Wars as a main character. Plus the iris wipe was just so charming at the end. I appreciate your reactions in taking the story as presented. People get too caught up in their own expectations that they only end up disappointed wanting the story they played in their own minds. People were too busy looking at the individual episodes without realizing the main focus of the whole season. I think they did a great job of not only establishing the issues with the New Republic and its shortcomings, but also the rebirth of Mandalore and people overcoming their past failures. The willingness to change from the past was such a strong theme throughout this season, and I feel the payoff in the end was well deserved.
13:35 - This was my exact reaction! I low key love that Bo has become Grogu's mom figure this season. Bo and Din Djarin don't even have to be romantically involved. The fact that they respect each other so much and both adore this kiddo is enough for me. And Grogu obviously loves them both.
Grogu was really paying attention to what Bo-Katan said. I don't think it was Luke's work with him as much as Bo-Katan's words that caused Grogu to step between Axe & Paz.
The lesson they've been teaching us all season is to trust other Mandalorians. We've been led to suspect different Mandos all season and every one of thrm has stood for the Way in the end.
I really think that Din will show up in Ahsoka and future shows now that he's doing "contract work" for people. It would be really cool to have some character in the future seek out a "good guy" bounty hunter and they just get sent to Din.
Yep, he's in a great position for that! And plus, if we continue in Season 4 (which Favreau says he's written) we have a status quo to return to for adventures and who knows what they might step into next!
I still say the mythasaur waking up was about grogu waking up with his powers and who he is as a individual I think eventually he will repair the darksabre someday for his lightsabre
Man I wish I had found you earlier in this season, because it's really refreshing to see someone with a positive view of this season. Time to catch up on all your previous videos!
Sir Din Grogu first of his name, son of Din Djarin, Mandalorian apprentice, knight of the ancient order of independent regencies, bad baby and squeezy of Babu Frik
This really felt like a culmination of the past three seasons. You can really see how all the skills and experience of the characters were put on display. And Din Grogu 100% woke up the Mythosaur
Man, you have been the best reactor to this season! Thanks for staying true to the show and not getting pulled into the other nonsense. Great season. Thanks!
I'm glad that they put din Djarin and Din Grogu back as the main characters. The story of din djarin and din grogu will continue in the 4 season. This is the way. 🔥❤️
When you realize Gideon was killed by his own cruiser. Paz's sacrifice allowed his son to be able to finally recite the full Creed (sure he could have done this off-screen in the first few episodes but still) And you're right Omni, there are already others still hanging onto the "Who is the spy?" throughout this episode. Glad I caught on the Bible interpretation, sound, logical and flows well with the themes shown in this season.
I noticed that when Paz's son finished his ceremony, the Armorer left out the part about never removing his helmet. Maybe that's no longer going to be a requirement since they've accepted that some mandolorians wear it, and some don't.
As a huge Rebels Fan I will always look for Rebels-Connections in every new piece of StarWars (which is surprisingly easy because I think right now Rebels is the most important show for new canon and therefore referenced a lot). Here are my two favorites from this episode: 1. The Green Cave. It actually made me quite emotional because I remembered Sabine talking to Ezra while they were fighting on Mandalore and how she never saw her planet green because of all the wars that started before she was even born (mostly between Mandalorians themselves). And now look at it: Mandalorians fighting together and the first signs of Plants returning to Mandalore. I think the moment Sabine see's this she will be very happy (but we don't know if she is still on Lothal or traveling through the Galaxy looking for Ezra right now so we don't know if she will actually hear about it) 2. How Grogu protects Din and Bo-Katan since he uses the same Force-Power as Kanan uses when he saves his new family but must sacrifice himself to do so. Of course, the question now is: Is Grogu already more powerful than a Jedi like Kanan. I would say NO, because he first of all did the protection way smaller (he had to protect two people who were crouching while Kanan had to protect an entire ship) but also because this was only an explosion coming from one direction while Kanan literally held of an entire Fuel-Depot exploding in order to save the Ghost-Crew (and with some of his energy even holding Hera back). Still, the fact that Grogu could do that at this young of an age (for his species) is very telling that he is a powerful force-user indeed.
Kanan I feel was one of the strongest Jedi by the end of his life. Maybe not in power but in understanding the force itself. He was very unsure of himself and his teachings especially in comparing himself to Ashoka and Maul but he kept facing the insecurities and came out each time stronger. The Force even seem to respect him by giving him the ability to see again at the end
@@lightdarksoul2097 I think Kanan was very in tune with the cosmic force at the end of Rebels, somewhat because he learned a lot while teaching Ezra, somewhat because he was forced to after going blind. I however think he never got to grips with the living force as well, especially not as well as Ezra who honestly might be the most connected Jedi I have seen when it comes to the living force. The thing is during the height of the Jedi Order I think they sometimes actually forgot the living force even existed and focused all their power on the cosmic force (it is the one you see powerful results from the fastest) and because of that I don't think Kanan has quite the chance to touch some of the best (even at the end of Rebels). Some of those Jedi during the orders best times had nothing else to worry about but connecting to the force. The moment he sacrifices himself I think he is in a unique position giving him extra power as he for one is very in tune with the force and in my opinion even backed up by the "force of Lothal", as I see every location in the Galaxy having their own manifestations of the force keeping balance (Bendu, Loth-Wolfes, maybe the Mythosaur, ...) and I think the force connected to Kanan though the Wolves to bring balance to the fallen World of Lothal. But that is all just my theory and there sure are some big holes to fill, some of them hopefully by the Ahsoka-Show
Man, you are the go-to Mando reaction channel for me. Love the conversation and thoughtful analysis on all your videos, not just The Mandalorian. Keep up the great work.
I think it's funniest that he was destroyed by an EMPIRE ship that was taken by Mandalorians. The irony in that after he stole their look and other things time and time again
Great reaction man, loved it. When you listen to Mof move it’s the same as the Dark Troopers. His suit is a Mech not just a suit, that’s how he’s so powerful with enhanced strength and a bullet sponge .
Not even resolution, I could have used 5 mins to explain the plot holes in the beginning (grogu finding Din after running the opposite way with Bo and the Mandos and R5 just being there after not being in the prior episode)
The ending was perfect! Din Djarin became the true wild west lone gunman and Grogu making connection on a small level with the Mythosaur. Also Bo Katan completing her arc was awesome and I am glad the Mandalorian people are all on one side. I just wish the beginning of the episode got more flushed out. I want to see how Grogu got to Din who was carried the opposite way of the Mandalorians, how R5 got there, why Gudeon just stood in that room waiting for Din to kill his clones when he was tracking him the whole time.
Your previous video was where I first heard "The Spies" breakdown and I haven't heard anyone realize that was the case. It got annoying on there channels trying figure out the "spies" identity 😂 So thank you for your breakdowns and reactions 👍🏾 This is the way!
The only video I want to see from the breakdowns admitting they went too hard on Axe and the Armorer. They were loyal and were vindicated in this episode.
I have really enjoyed your breakdowns of the episodes. They have been phenomenal. You really help your viewers to get the BIG PICTURE and how the season worked as a whole. the theory about the Mandalorians being the spies turns out to be correct and i was really glad because I just couldn't come to terms with the Armorer being a spy working with Moff Gideon, especially when you recall how she stated in the BOBF that Gideon was responsible for the deaths of millions of Mandalorian people. She is their spiritual leader of Mandalore and the only one who has been shown forging weapons, so I just couldn't wrap my head around her being a traitor. Great job on breaking everything down.
Moses sent out the 12 spies to scot the land of Canaan and believe that's what episode 7 title was all about because very specifically Bo asked scots to scot the land like spies.
I was so nervous. Been waiting for you. As usual, I see your reaction first and then I see the episode. So back to you to see and hear what you think. You are right that many do not understand the depth of the season. Thank you very much for being positive and explaining everything. You are usually right about everything. Hugs from me.
Thanks for putting such a quick reaction and positive summation of the entire season, really don't understand why people were so put off by it when they tied up almost every single thread introduced in the series.
You're so right about us playing ourselves. Love that, after all the speculation, they just stripped it all down to Classic SW Fun and melodrama. Who's gonna show up? No one. Who's gonna be the big dramatic death? No one. Who's 'the spy'? No one. And 'the return'? So many of 'em -- Mandos to Mandalore, DD back to Nevarro, Ragnar to his baptism, Gideon's ship, IG. All tied up in a neat little Bo. Andove that this gives us another tripartite climax to go with Naboo and Endor, only in this one all the three parts coalesce in the end, really emphasizing the 'stronger together' difference of the Warrior Way from the individual spiritual testing of the Jedi. And I love the contrast of our Trio bringing all the pieces together voluntarily while maintaining their unique integrity versus Gideon trying to forcibly integrate the disparate elements in -- and in subservience to -- himself. Our Trio (they're my new post-Jedi Trio, the redeemed Gunslinger, the holds-her-own Princess and the Jedi, since we're never getting the Original back together proper) is thus blessed by The Force while Gideon remains impotent and envious, poor bastard. Favorite stupid, completely insignificant trivial details (honestly can't tell whether they're coincidental or not): DD is basically Batman by the end of this chapter, working off-the-books with Carson Teva aka Gordon, and just like Batman, there's a B. Wayne inside the suit, Brendan Wayne instead of Bruce. And a common joke during this chapter was the Wickalorian and stuff like that, but there actually is a K. Reeves in the ep., Koska Reeves instead of Keanu. They both seem like totally stupid coincidences, but at the same time, they've gotta be in-jokes or something, right?
I saw flashes of Rebels and Clone Wars in R5 reactions and scenes. Some of best fight scenes ever. I want to thank you so much for you positive review of season. I’m not sure what other reviewers expect but your perspective comes closest to mine. I REALLY appreciate your interpretation of SPIES. It explains so much. I heard that Season 4 will have a time jump. So relieved Din didn’t die or Grogu. It was awesome. Happy to share this opinion with you!
I'm convinced the series is named what it is due to Grogu now, the scene where he more or less communicates with the Mythasaur..... yeah, he's the mandolorian and that's a foreshadowing if i've ever seen one. I also believe the ending for me sets up a " many years later " for series 4 where Grogu has aged. EDIT: the end scene also for me shows " The Mandalorian " is Grogu. Great reaction btw, i always stop by.
Did the Armorer change the baptism at the end? She doesn’t mention “from this moment on I will never remove my helmet” like in the first episode. Everything else was the same though. Is this her adapting? 🤔
ive been watching your reactions all season and wanted to say thank you for your content, omn1. your videos are my favourite reactions to watch because you have so much star wars knowledge and can watch an episode critically all while truly enjoying the show. it’s such a pleasure to watch so thanks again! also, i cried when grogu used the force to save daddy din and mommy bo too. going back to watch your reactions to the last seasons now!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I can definitely acknowledge somethings flaws but because they exist it shouldn't invalidate the good! Enjoy the ride! :) Grogu protec!
You commented on it and were spot onto the spies being the mandalorian scouts. After watching your breakdown, it made sense and I was hoping against hope that you were right. I am so glad no one was lost and that no one was betrayed. I am a Bodin shipper so I wished there was more of that but I also understand that he can’t stay long term right now and she can’t leave. At the very least they are all alive and rebuilding. I’m hoping to see a bit of them in the Ashoka series since we know now that Din is going to be hunting the remnants down and the Mandalorians are def going to be a big threat to the empire. It is all intertwined and I love it!
I like that they allowed the show to reset hard to a serialized father-son adventure story but didn’t commit to anything. They can continue the show from here if they want (in a year, in five years, in ten years, whatever) or the show can just be over forever if they want. I don’t think they’ll end it, but they might (and just have the Dins show up in other shows and movies in the time period) and now they’re set up so they have all those options on the table. Good stuff.
If there is a next season then I feel like they will bring gideon back. It will be either one of his clones or maybe they will do that this gideon was the clone and the real one is still out there.
I'm so happy that I've subscribed to your channel..... you thoughtfully present your impressions and reactions are wonderful & insightful. Thank you. ✊😎
I've never been so glad to have been wrong about the Armorer! Glad all of our people made it, and loved Axe's passion at the end. I love getting to see your enjoyment in your reactions. Thanks for a great season of videos!
We did lose Paz Vizla last episode, but he was the only character that we knew that we lost in the confrontation with. I was really hoping that Paz had survived. Severely injured, but alive. I guess not. Poor Ragnar.
I really appreciate your analysis throughout this season. And I can't believe we have witnessed 24 chapters of the Mandalorian! Now it's time for some Din Din.
Paz would have been proud. Also glad you got on the background of the spies meaning, well done. I also teared up a bit when Grogu was using the force shielding his family...
I love that even when fighting the Praetorian guards Mando still would strike in the gaps between their armor, his final blaster shot was the gap under the helmet so the blaster bolt exploded from inside the helmet aha
Such a great episode, and yes I cried when Grogu finally was able to use he’s gifts to save Din and that beautiful moment when Din took Grogu as his own I sobbed lol still slightly confused with Din Grogu thought it would have been like you stated Grogu jarin instead… not complaining though. Was it my favourite season? No apart from these 2 final episodes but it was a journey for Bo-katan reclaiming mandalore. Truly hope there’s more to come…. Thank you for reviewing each ep yet again in a kind and informative manner..
If Bo Katan turns out to be an allegory of Moses (which I regret not seeing myself I've been seeing biblical elements all over the show this season) that could mean some interesting things going forward for her character. He leads the people out of slavery and into the desert and helped govern them as well as establishing the commandments. But Moses himself never gets to set foot in the promise land. The question now is have they set foot now into the proverbial promised land of Mandalore or though they are united are they still in the desert. Bo katan has her work cut out for her either way settling disputes among the tribes and establishing order but we may see another Mandalor take the throne in the not so distant future.
@@Psyque-nl4xn totally possible just because she may be an allegory for Moses doesn't mean she has to copy every story beat, maybe in another sense she lead the Mandalorians into the metaphorical desert back in the purge and now she has basically become a new person ready to bring the Mandalorians to the promise land. That's the fun of this type of speculation.
Um i may be reaching but haha did disney just replace the towns Cara (gina 'fired' carano) Marshal character with a pliable programmable robot Marshal that does what its commanded to do? Lol. 4d shade maybe?
You were right about so many things, especially when you pointed out that Grogu is becoming naturally what Gideon was so desperate to manufacture artificially. The things I really loved was that Din, Grogu and Bo worked together to take out Gideon, I actually loved that they broke the Dark Saber because they don’t need it, I love how Grogu didn’t revert to the dark side of the force once, I love that Mandalore can been green again, and I love how the armourer had emotion in her voice when she said the word “teacher”. I think she might have been Dins teacher. It was a lovely ending and I have really enjoyed all your reviews
That's why I love your reactions, you remember the most important rule of Star Wars: Star Wars is fun! Everybody is an "expert" now and is so critical about anything in the show, its surprising they haven't made a theory about Bo Katan's perfect helmet hair lol. This show is just a big fun adventure in the Star Wars universe about Din and Grogu, and how they became involved in bigger things. and sure, not everything has to be a 10, but this is a fun show that I'm really happy we have around.
Others are saying things like, "i enjoyed this season BUT not as much as the others", "i really liked this ending BUT... ", "this season had so much wasted potential", "they didn't have any really big moments in it" (the luke rescue was brought up time and time again, sigh) I'm really tired of hearing all the negatives. This season was absolutely great, no buts about it and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it the same as me. Thanks for keeping it positive!
Overall, this finale was awesome and there is so much to love! The biggest takeaway of the finale for me was Moff Gideon actually being more capable than we all thought. The one critique of S2 that I had was his fight with Din where I expected him to be more of a formidable opponent to Din than what ended up happening. But my man was kicking his ass and Bo’s pretty much and I have to say it was so satisfying to see him as more capable. I hope to god he isn’t dead because I wanted to see a Gideon and Thrawn rivalry so hopefully one of his clones survived and I feel like it’s a waste to kill to him now. Regardless, overall S3 was pretty great, the weakest season compared to the other two yes, but still a damn good season, especially in regards to my favorite Mandalorian Bo-Katan’s journey, that was the strongest aspect of the season for me. 💙 Season overall gets a strong B+ from me, and the episode a B+ or an A- as well.
You know why I like your channel? You're one of the few people out there whose commentary is informed, thoughtful, intelligent and insightful. You don't let your expectations about the show cloud how you feel about each episode either. And even if people disagree with you, you're not nasty about it. I've seen reactors be downright nasty and salty when commenters don't agree with their thoughts on episodes, especially this season. So I appreciate you for that. You're also open to others' opinions which is rare these days. I've only ever seen Asokha on The Mandalorian, but if you plan to react to her show, I'll be watching that too. Take care.
You nailed it at the get go! I felt the same. If they named the previous episode "the Scouts " nobody would have thought different but of course they wanted to convince people. They did a wonderful job of it. Most reactor's didnt ever get this theory. Play on words. As always thanks Mike for another great reaction!
Dude thank you for telling me about "The Spies", I would have never picked up on that. I still think this episode needed some more emotional weight, but thank you for clarifying that.
You're the only reactor I think really understands this season. It's been so much fun. I really love what they've done with Grogu this season. And now they are officially a family. ❤
I try :D

100% agree!!!
I've despised how people have treated this season just because Bo Katan got some focus. It's been awesome.
THEORY: The Armorer is Din Djarin’s adopted mother, and that’s why she looked away when she said “…just as your teacher did for you.” She was getting emotional, realizing her son was finally truly leaving the nest. And also the way she said “This is the way” when he said he would adopt Grogu. He’s doing for Grogu what The Armorer did for him.
That is now my head canon!
Ok, but now I need a season of Armorer and young Din on their adventures together.
I love this so much!!
I like this theory, it gives explanations to why she was lenient in episode one of the season.
Dude, I really like this! I actually thought maybe the Armorer was Bo's mother while watching The Convert" episode lol
I love that Din has gone back to being that "gun for hire" by the end of this season. He went on a journey of literally thinking of Grogu as just another job, realizing he needed to do something about it, taking him under his wing, and now adopting him as his own son. Finally a GOOD FATHER in Star Wars as a main character. Plus the iris wipe was just so charming at the end.

Yes! I said the same thing last episode!
"Mandalorian are stronger together" -Bo Katan
This is so valid, and a lesson I definitely have learned. I won't doubt again!
Man Omn1 is the only reactor that I like watching because he points out stuff that agree with and doesn’t throw hate really enjoyed this season
I really think that Din will show up in Ahsoka and future shows now that he's doing "contract work" for people. It would be really cool to have some character in the future seek out a "good guy" bounty hunter and they just get sent to Din.

@@Omn1Media Exactly!
Grogu’s force bubble reminded me so much of how Kanan saved Hera and Ezra
Yes that was the moment was I trying to summon! I was like, why does this feel familiar?!
This could've been a series finale. That was so good.
Gideon (wearing a damn mech suit): "Mandalorians are weak once they lose their trinkets."
🤣 bitch is weak without literally stealing genetics from other people
I still say the mythasaur waking up was about grogu waking up with his powers and who he is as a individual I think eventually he will repair the darksabre someday for his lightsabre
With Gideon now gone, everyone can now focus on the threat that is Thrawn.
You won't be happy to hear people are already theorizing Gideon isn't dead and will be back, partly/mostly cybernetic.
@@p-forest he should be back he was bad ass and all 3 of them had to take him on he needs more shine in that bad ass suit
Man I wish I had found you earlier in this season, because it's really refreshing to see someone with a positive view of this season. Time to catch up on all your previous videos!
Welcome and I hope you enjoy the ride!
Grogu protecting them from the fire was a throwback to Rebels for sure❤❤
Grogu protected a hurt Din from the fire that engulfed the bar in the finale of season 1.
As someone else said, its a throwback to Season 1, and one of the first major instances of us seeing Grogu using the Force.
It shows Grogu's growth. I doubt he would have been able to do this much in S1.
Sir Din Grogu first of his name, son of Din Djarin, Mandalorian apprentice, knight of the ancient order of independent regencies, bad baby and squeezy of Babu Frik
This really felt like a culmination of the past three seasons. You can really see how all the skills and experience of the characters were put on display. And Din Grogu 100% woke up the Mythosaur
Man, you have been the best reactor to this season! Thanks for staying true to the show and not getting pulled into the other nonsense. Great season. Thanks!
I try my best! Just say what I feel! 🙏
You and Previewed are my SW reactors for sure. No drama but joy and appreciation!
Din Grogu has become sensitive to all animal life !
He didn’t eat the frog and even dropped him back in the pond.
Loved this Season finale!
❤
Character growth. He's done a lot of that, especially after holding his own in his first real battle.
I'm glad that they put din Djarin and Din Grogu back as the main characters. The story of din djarin and din grogu will continue in the 4 season. This is the way. 🔥❤️
Apparently their story will be wrapped up in a movie. That would be great.
@@lotrefcp We've got at least 2-3 more seasons before then IMO. They said the movie's not for another 5 years at least lol
@@HellfireComms even better. I'll be really old by then. 😂
This whole “THIS SHOW IS ABOUT DIN AND GROGU ONLY SHOW THEM” is such a juvenile and whiny attitude. Read more books.
@@AL-fl4jk about star wars? That's very adult. Just accept everyones opinion and move on.
Great reaction! Thanks for sharing the 12 spies interpretation, I'm just so glad the Armorer's heart is true ❤
This is the way.
It killed me when Din Grogu screamed when Gideon clone opened his eyes😂
Can't believe its already over. So happy for this ending.
Can't wait for the movie and Ahsoka.
Thanks for the reaction.
When you realize Gideon was killed by his own cruiser.
Paz's sacrifice allowed his son to be able to finally recite the full Creed (sure he could have done this off-screen in the first few episodes but still)
And you're right Omni, there are already others still hanging onto the "Who is the spy?" throughout this episode. Glad I caught on the Bible interpretation, sound, logical and flows well with the themes shown in this season.
I didn’t even consider that was HIS ship that killed him! Damn!
I noticed that Ragnar was stood next to Axe when they lit the forge. Perhaps he will take the boy under his wing
I noticed that when Paz's son finished his ceremony, the Armorer left out the part about never removing his helmet. Maybe that's no longer going to be a requirement since they've accepted that some mandolorians wear it, and some don't.
Captains go down with their ship... just saying 😉

The moment he sacrifices himself I think he is in a unique position giving him extra power as he for one is very in tune with the force and in my opinion even backed up by the "force of Lothal", as I see every location in the Galaxy having their own manifestations of the force keeping balance (Bendu, Loth-Wolfes, maybe the Mythosaur, ...) and I think the force connected to Kanan though the Wolves to bring balance to the fallen World of Lothal. But that is all just my theory and there sure are some big holes to fill, some of them hopefully by the Ahsoka-Show
@@latech7671 oh man to see Kanan in any form in Ashoka would be nice
The pure joy on your face when watching this episode is just awesome to see!!!😂
So glad we are headed back to the promise of the show hunting bounties and adventures again
Man, you are the go-to Mando reaction channel for me. Love the conversation and thoughtful analysis on all your videos, not just The Mandalorian. Keep up the great work.
Gideon being engulfed in fire from a ship is kinda karmic justice from what he did to the Razor Crest
I think it's funniest that he was destroyed by an EMPIRE ship that was taken by Mandalorians. The irony in that after he stole their look and other things time and time again
Great reaction man, loved it. When you listen to Mof move it’s the same as the Dark Troopers. His suit is a Mech not just a suit, that’s how he’s so powerful with enhanced strength and a bullet sponge .
The meat of the episode is so, SO good... But it really needed another 15-20 minutes for resolution. And a memorial for Paz.
Yes! I needed to see Axe's reaction to hearing how Paz went out. I guarantee he's gonna become father figure to Ragnar.
Yes to more resolution and yes to Axe as a father-figure @Sneb
Not even resolution, I could have used 5 mins to explain the plot holes in the beginning (grogu finding Din after running the opposite way with Bo and the Mandos and R5 just being there after not being in the prior episode)
Towards the end, Axe is standing next to Ragnar. I hope that is also a sign he will be a father figure to Ragnar.
By far the best reaction I have seen to this episode.
You were spot on with your reviews and predictions. Very few got it right concerning the spies!
Loved the reaction (as always) but LOVED your after discussion. There was so much nuance & deep thought behind it & I couldn't agree more 🙌🏼💕
Real glad we didn't lose anyone in this episode, Paz Vizsla was more than enough
The ending was perfect! Din Djarin became the true wild west lone gunman and Grogu making connection on a small level with the Mythosaur. Also Bo Katan completing her arc was awesome and I am glad the Mandalorian people are all on one side.
I just wish the beginning of the episode got more flushed out. I want to see how Grogu got to Din who was carried the opposite way of the Mandalorians, how R5 got there, why Gudeon just stood in that room waiting for Din to kill his clones when he was tracking him the whole time.
Your previous video was where I first heard "The Spies" breakdown and I haven't heard anyone realize that was the case. It got annoying on there channels trying figure out the "spies" identity 😂
So thank you for your breakdowns and reactions 👍🏾 This is the way!
The only video I want to see from the breakdowns admitting they went too hard on Axe and the Armorer. They were loyal and were vindicated in this episode.
"B*tch, that's me" I cracked man, lol
I have really enjoyed your breakdowns of the episodes. They have been phenomenal. You really help your viewers to get the BIG PICTURE and how the season worked as a whole. the theory about the Mandalorians being the spies turns out to be correct and i was really glad because I just couldn't come to terms with the Armorer being a spy working with Moff Gideon, especially when you recall how she stated in the BOBF that Gideon was responsible for the deaths of millions of Mandalorian people. She is their spiritual leader of Mandalore and the only one who has been shown forging weapons, so I just couldn't wrap my head around her being a traitor. Great job on breaking everything down.
Moses sent out the 12 spies to scot the land of Canaan and believe that's what episode 7 title was all about because very specifically Bo asked scots to scot the land like spies.
Go to my The Spies Explained section haha
I was so nervous. Been waiting for you. As usual, I see your reaction first and then I see the episode. So back to you to see and hear what you think. You are right that many do not understand the depth of the season. Thank you very much for being positive and explaining everything. You are usually right about everything. Hugs from me.
Thanks for putting such a quick reaction and positive summation of the entire season, really don't understand why people were so put off by it when they tied up almost every single thread introduced in the series.
The beginning of the end fight was like a crazy flying armored up rugby scrum with blasters!
🤣
You're so right about us playing ourselves. Love that, after all the speculation, they just stripped it all down to Classic SW Fun and melodrama. Who's gonna show up? No one. Who's gonna be the big dramatic death? No one. Who's 'the spy'? No one. And 'the return'? So many of 'em -- Mandos to Mandalore, DD back to Nevarro, Ragnar to his baptism, Gideon's ship, IG. All tied up in a neat little Bo. Andove that this gives us another tripartite climax to go with Naboo and Endor, only in this one all the three parts coalesce in the end, really emphasizing the 'stronger together' difference of the Warrior Way from the individual spiritual testing of the Jedi. And I love the contrast of our Trio bringing all the pieces together voluntarily while maintaining their unique integrity versus Gideon trying to forcibly integrate the disparate elements in -- and in subservience to -- himself. Our Trio (they're my new post-Jedi Trio, the redeemed Gunslinger, the holds-her-own Princess and the Jedi, since we're never getting the Original back together proper) is thus blessed by The Force while Gideon remains impotent and envious, poor bastard.
Favorite stupid, completely insignificant trivial details (honestly can't tell whether they're coincidental or not): DD is basically Batman by the end of this chapter, working off-the-books with Carson Teva aka Gordon, and just like Batman, there's a B. Wayne inside the suit, Brendan Wayne instead of Bruce. And a common joke during this chapter was the Wickalorian and stuff like that, but there actually is a K. Reeves in the ep., Koska Reeves instead of Keanu. They both seem like totally stupid coincidences, but at the same time, they've gotta be in-jokes or something, right?
Cranking them out today! Must've been an extra busy night with all the releases. Cannot wait to catch your reactions!
Thankfully, I got to watch Rangers a few days early! Though I forgot it came out today and had to put that together yesterday afternoon haha
I saw flashes of Rebels and Clone Wars in R5 reactions and scenes. Some of best fight scenes ever. I want to thank you so much for you positive review of season. I’m not sure what other reviewers expect but your perspective comes closest to mine. I REALLY appreciate your interpretation of SPIES. It explains so much.
I heard that Season 4 will have a time jump. So relieved Din didn’t die or Grogu. It was awesome. Happy to share this opinion with you!
I'm convinced the series is named what it is due to Grogu now, the scene where he more or less communicates with the Mythasaur..... yeah, he's the mandolorian and that's a foreshadowing if i've ever seen one. I also believe the ending for me sets up a " many years later " for series 4 where Grogu has aged. EDIT: the end scene also for me shows " The Mandalorian " is Grogu.
Great reaction btw, i always stop by.
couldn't agree more, no wonder they introduced him on the first episode of the first season
Did the Armorer change the baptism at the end? She doesn’t mention “from this moment on I will never remove my helmet” like in the first episode. Everything else was the same though. Is this her adapting? 🤔
ive been watching your reactions all season and wanted to say thank you for your content, omn1. your videos are my favourite reactions to watch because you have so much star wars knowledge and can watch an episode critically all while truly enjoying the show. it’s such a pleasure to watch so thanks again! also, i cried when grogu used the force to save daddy din and mommy bo too. going back to watch your reactions to the last seasons now!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I can definitely acknowledge somethings flaws but because they exist it shouldn't invalidate the good! Enjoy the ride! :) Grogu protec!
You commented on it and were spot onto the spies being the mandalorian scouts. After watching your breakdown, it made sense and I was hoping against hope that you were right. I am so glad no one was lost and that no one was betrayed. I am a Bodin shipper so I wished there was more of that but I also understand that he can’t stay long term right now and she can’t leave. At the very least they are all alive and rebuilding. I’m hoping to see a bit of them in the Ashoka series since we know now that Din is going to be hunting the remnants down and the Mandalorians are def going to be a big threat to the empire. It is all intertwined and I love it!
Its clear that Gideon has some serious Vader-envy. The black suit, the cape, the wanting to have The Force.
True!!!
I like that they allowed the show to reset hard to a serialized father-son adventure story but didn’t commit to anything. They can continue the show from here if they want (in a year, in five years, in ten years, whatever) or the show can just be over forever if they want. I don’t think they’ll end it, but they might (and just have the Dins show up in other shows and movies in the time period) and now they’re set up so they have all those options on the table. Good stuff.
I like how this No Way Home's Mando & resets the board, minus the odd loose end. LOADS of who knows where to go now, leading to the movie. 😎😎👍👍
Din was on fire this episode.
The scene with the mouse droids was pretty funny 😁😂!
Your reactions are always so wholesome. Laughing and crying and always so pumped! Love watching with you!
No mole within the Mandos. You're right, "the spies" is a reference to Moses' spies
If there is a next season then I feel like they will bring gideon back. It will be either one of his clones or maybe they will do that this gideon was the clone and the real one is still out there.
Season 4 has already been written and the props are made to so unless filming hasn't started yet it'll probably start soon.
I feel like it’s gonna be a clone alive, it would have been cool to see that as a post credit scene
I'm so happy that I've subscribed to your channel..... you thoughtfully present your impressions and reactions are wonderful & insightful. Thank you. ✊😎
The Mandalorian season 4 has been given the green light, and filming starts in October 🤯🤩😎😁😉😌👍!
I've never been so glad to have been wrong about the Armorer! Glad all of our people made it, and loved Axe's passion at the end. I love getting to see your enjoyment in your reactions. Thanks for a great season of videos!
Great points that are brought up. The culture of Mandalorian being enhance for this season was phenomenal.
Favorite season as a whole for sure! Thanks for keeping things positive around here man!
We did lose Paz Vizla last episode, but he was the only character that we knew that we lost in the confrontation with. I was really hoping that Paz had survived. Severely injured, but alive. I guess not. Poor Ragnar.
Ragnar didn't seem to hold any hard feelings. His father was avenged and he died a real Mandalorian. He does have large boots to fill
I'm guessing Axe Woves will mentor Ragnar next season, maybe even adopt him.
@@p-forest we saw them purposely placing him beside Ragnar during the ceremony so there’s that possibility
great video my man, appreciate you and your hard work.
Great reaction, and thanks for the discussion about the 12 spies.
Great reaction video. I've really enjoyed your after reviews and analysis. Thanks so much!!
Yup, you were right about the 12 spies. I was still kind of expecting maybe Axe to turn about and betray Bo, but hey, the guy is solid
I really appreciate your analysis throughout this season. And I can't believe we have witnessed 24 chapters of the Mandalorian!
Now it's time for some Din Din.
I can only say that I could barely breathe watching the episode. Perfection!
I like your positivity and that 12 spies explanation is awesome.
The discussions at the end of your reactions have really helped in giving me a bigger appreciation and understanding of this season. Much thanks, sir.
Paz would have been proud. Also glad you got on the background of the spies meaning, well done. I also teared up a bit when Grogu was using the force shielding his family...
The Armorer with a jetpack is like casting fly on a barbarian, I love it. Her, Bo, and Koska were absolutely metal.
I like your take on the spies storyline. I didn’t think there was the way other people were stating. Glad it all turn out the way it did.
I always look forward to your reactions, in large part because they mirror my own!
Excellent explanation of 'spies'. It doesn't have to mean 'spy' in the sense of KGB like stuff. But a spy with a spyglass, a scout like you said.
I love that even when fighting the Praetorian guards Mando still would strike in the gaps between their armor, his final blaster shot was the gap under the helmet so the blaster bolt exploded from inside the helmet aha
We need a “Yo” counter for Omni 😂❤
Such a great episode, and yes I cried when Grogu finally was able to use he’s gifts to save Din and that beautiful moment when Din took Grogu as his own I sobbed lol still slightly confused with Din Grogu thought it would have been like you stated Grogu jarin instead… not complaining though. Was it my favourite season? No apart from these 2 final episodes but it was a journey for Bo-katan reclaiming mandalore. Truly hope there’s more to come…. Thank you for reviewing each ep yet again in a kind and informative manner..
I loved this season. Every episode was special. And I loved watching your reaction to it all.
First, three words... JET PACK BATTLE!!!!
Also... "Din Grogu!!!" Got me all teary eyed! 😢😢😍😍
Great explanation about the title The Spies
If Bo Katan turns out to be an allegory of Moses (which I regret not seeing myself I've been seeing biblical elements all over the show this season) that could mean some interesting things going forward for her character. He leads the people out of slavery and into the desert and helped govern them as well as establishing the commandments. But Moses himself never gets to set foot in the promise land. The question now is have they set foot now into the proverbial promised land of Mandalore or though they are united are they still in the desert. Bo katan has her work cut out for her either way settling disputes among the tribes and establishing order but we may see another Mandalor take the throne in the not so distant future.
It brings things around to that bit of scripture that was on that shard that Mando brought to The Armorer in episode 1 too!
She is the mandalore and she will be.
@@Psyque-nl4xn totally possible just because she may be an allegory for Moses doesn't mean she has to copy every story beat, maybe in another sense she lead the Mandalorians into the metaphorical desert back in the purge and now she has basically become a new person ready to bring the Mandalorians to the promise land. That's the fun of this type of speculation.
15:47 For a short time, Grogu connected with the Mythosaur 🤩!
Great Job My Daughter and I Loved this.THEME ALWAYS STRONGER TOGETHER.Grogu and Din and the Mandalorians
Um i may be reaching but haha did disney just replace the towns Cara (gina 'fired' carano) Marshal character with a pliable programmable robot Marshal that does what its commanded to do? Lol. 4d shade maybe?
Well when you put it like that... 🤣
A happy ending. Loved it
You were right about so many things, especially when you pointed out that Grogu is becoming naturally what Gideon was so desperate to manufacture artificially. The things I really loved was that Din, Grogu and Bo worked together to take out Gideon, I actually loved that they broke the Dark Saber because they don’t need it, I love how Grogu didn’t revert to the dark side of the force once, I love that Mandalore can been green again, and I love how the armourer had emotion in her voice when she said the word “teacher”. I think she might have been Dins teacher. It was a lovely ending and I have really enjoyed all your reviews
People kept wondering, is Din Djarin or Bo-Katan going to ride the Mythosaur? No. The mythosaur is for Din Grogu.
That's why I love your reactions, you remember the most important rule of Star Wars: Star Wars is fun! Everybody is an "expert" now and is so critical about anything in the show, its surprising they haven't made a theory about Bo Katan's perfect helmet hair lol. This show is just a big fun adventure in the Star Wars universe about Din and Grogu, and how they became involved in bigger things. and sure, not everything has to be a 10, but this is a fun show that I'm really happy we have around.
Others are saying things like, "i enjoyed this season BUT not as much as the others", "i really liked this ending BUT... ", "this season had so much wasted potential", "they didn't have any really big moments in it" (the luke rescue was brought up time and time again, sigh) I'm really tired of hearing all the negatives. This season was absolutely great, no buts about it and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it the same as me. Thanks for keeping it positive!
Overall, this finale was awesome and there is so much to love! The biggest takeaway of the finale for me was Moff Gideon actually being more capable than we all thought. The one critique of S2 that I had was his fight with Din where I expected him to be more of a formidable opponent to Din than what ended up happening. But my man was kicking his ass and Bo’s pretty much and I have to say it was so satisfying to see him as more capable. I hope to god he isn’t dead because I wanted to see a Gideon and Thrawn rivalry so hopefully one of his clones survived and I feel like it’s a waste to kill to him now.
Regardless, overall S3 was pretty great, the weakest season compared to the other two yes, but still a damn good season, especially in regards to my favorite Mandalorian Bo-Katan’s journey, that was the strongest aspect of the season for me. 💙 Season overall gets a strong B+ from me, and the episode a B+ or an A- as well.
I liked that Gideon wasn't more capable by magic but by, you know, Power Armor :)
@@vladgdc iron man suit lol
this was a great analogy... well done sir....
You know why I like your channel? You're one of the few people out there whose commentary is informed, thoughtful, intelligent and insightful. You don't let your expectations about the show cloud how you feel about each episode either. And even if people disagree with you, you're not nasty about it. I've seen reactors be downright nasty and salty when commenters don't agree with their thoughts on episodes, especially this season. So I appreciate you for that. You're also open to others' opinions which is rare these days.
I've only ever seen Asokha on The Mandalorian, but if you plan to react to her show, I'll be watching that too.
Take care.
You nailed it at the get go! I felt the same. If they named the previous episode "the Scouts " nobody would have thought different but of course they wanted to convince people. They did a wonderful job of it. Most reactor's didnt ever get this theory. Play on words. As always thanks Mike for another great reaction!
I’m ready for more of this!
Dude thank you for telling me about "The Spies", I would have never picked up on that. I still think this episode needed some more emotional weight, but thank you for clarifying that.
