Best bad batch episodes don't have the bad batch in them I think everyone just fed up off tech, wrecker, hunter and especially omega. Omega always the one who drives the plot she makes every decision for them it's annoying
@@LegoObIWan Tbf crosshair is meant to be a part of the batch its not like it was a great ep about a random character hes important for the show, but yes i agree the batch isnt very interesting in general
huh? random useless mission that lead no where was the best bad batch episode? the end was good, but the entire episode leading up to it was nothing special at all lol. we’ve already seen the clones being totally mistreated the whole season, so we didnt get anything new. 7/10 at best. cody and crosshair mission plus the zillobeast episode were levels beyond this episode
The bad batch episode is just a reason why Dave Filoni should be control the Star Wars franchise as a whole. The emotion, cinematography and character arc within a 30 min episode was just mind blowing.
Din redeemed himself but didnt get the time to say the line "From this moment on, i shall never remove my helmet." Just like episode one with that kid.
Loved it. Bo Katan is growing on my favorite character list and Katie Sackhoff plays her perfectly. This show keeps getting better season after season!
You know why The Bad Batch-episode was such a hit? Because Brad Rau, the supvervising director, was more involved in it. Brad Rau is the guy, who wrote the Zeb-Kallus episode from Rebels. And episode 12 of season 2 from The Bad Batch is just another highlight of his.
Only watched rebels one time because it wasn't my thing for the most part. But that arc you're telling about was one that stuck with me. Very well written.
3:14:44 It clicked for crosshair because he realized he would have to leave the other guys body to the birds to eat and I believe he wanted to at least bring him and his helmet back to his other brothers in caskets to honor him, but he knew if he was to even try to do that, Nolan would retaliate. He was forced to face his inner struggle at last
The good luck she said end of last episode was like a sarcastic goodbye, she doesn’t believe in his cause and is running a fools errand. This episode I think she was genuinely surprised by the mythsaur and maybe these ‘children’s stories’ have some truth in them that the children of the watch have and Din beliefs maybe aren’t as silly. Maybe this could be the begging of the two clans coming together, conflict at first fighting but these two ultimately join forces.
I think Din and Bo are going to make Mandalore strong again. Show that different creeds can live in harmony. Din is going to rule. Bo going to have to show him how to swing that dark saber though 😂
She’s improving. This was my favorite episode with her because she actually felt like a real person instead of whatever the hell they had her doing before
I watched the new episode of Bad Batch first and that was a 10/10 episode so I had low expectations for the new episode of Mando but God damn, what an episode. This has been a great week for Star Wars, I fully expected Bad Batch to outshine Mando this week but what a nice surprise!
why would the bad batch outshine mando lol, mando is literally wildly more popular than the bad batch. if anything the bad batch has to try its best to keep up
The moment he mentioned dark cloning crosshair my heart dropped. That honestly makes a lot of sense and would be so sad. As fascinating as empire science ambitions are, the dark trooper history is absolutely tragic.
Yep. Makes me think CH will be a dark trooper because in Mando season two, I think it was Dr. Pershing that said the humans inside the suits were the last weakness of the Dark Troopers. So the ones we saw in the S2 finale were all machine.
@MillsKy as you point that out I definitely have to agree. Which, makes me sad because I wish he doesn't die. I like him and tech alot. They are great characters
@@Xyber7 yeah I was so excited at the beginning of this- clones being replaced and crosshair finally starts to see it. He’s not running these covert ops anymore, he’s on grunt work. Seeing him stand up to the lieutenant at the end was great, but cutting to him waking up pre-op was perhaps the worst twist. Now I’m worried we either get the next episode being a surgery or we won’t see crosshair again until he goes against the squad as a dark trooper.
The bird circling above the outpost and Cross looks up really reminded me of the final episode of Clone Wars when Vader looked up - coincidence? I feel like we are seeing a little bit of the emotional anguish of change in Vader and Crosshair. We then also had the ambient music from when Ahsoka buried the CTs happen when we lost another clone after the first raid. Loved Mando episode 2. It was really jaw-dropping cinematography, character and lore-building. Really enjoying where we are at with Star Wars in 2022/3
[SPOILERS] That bad batch episode was fucking perfection. I was skeptical when I first heard before season 1 that they were gonna turn Crosshair into a villain, but oh god I’m glad they did. It has us rooting for him to turn back and join his brothers, this episode was the ultimate payoff. Seeing him head shot the lieutenant at the end was so satisfying and emotional incredibly emotional. This is peak Star Wars. The episode contained almost every underlying theme that Star Wars aims to deliver. I understand not every episode can be like this one, but crosshairs arc is by far the best thing about this series and I can’t help but think him as well as the empire as a whole have been drastically under-utilised this season. Let’s hope there’s no more ‘filler’ episodes from now and we keep getting banger after banger until the end of the season. This has got me craving a season 3, whereas a few episodes ago I was fully giving up TBB
That LT had it coming. Honestly though, the entire time I was thinking “Take off the headwraps on the dead raiders, I feel like we might see a clone face looking back.” While yes, we see one clone in the explosion, we didn’t see the other die. I was wondering if they were deserters. Still glad we got the episode we did.
It is possible, but the problem is it is really big in comparison, he wouldn't be able to use it properly at all. That's why Yoda had a smaller lightsaber.
3 things to say. 1) that bad batch episode was one of the best pieces of television I’ve ever watched. 2) that mandalorian episode was similarly elite, and definitely sets the stage for an amazing season. 3) R5 was definitely watching a certain part of Bo Katan as she walked away.
Mayday was so sick! A top 10 clone all time for me (easily) such a shame he died, don’t think that was necessary. Crosshair could’ve still done what he needed to do and have Maydayy survive. Badass armour and personality
Like King and Queen - can’t lie that’s a very cool way to look at it/theory. I could see that being a fun end (even tho there’s going to be many many more seasons lol)
armorer said in the last season : "the songs of eon past foretold the rising up of the mtyhosaurs to herald a new age of Mandalore".With the mythosauras rising again it would be cool to see mando boba and bo katan to team up pave the way for the new age of mandalore
They unfortunately want nothing to do with Boba now. Favreau nerfed him and gave his legacy away to Din and Bo Katan. According to sources, Tem was hardly on set, possibly not at all, and he turned down going to Star Wars Celebration this year. Wasn’t at the Mandalorian Season 3 premiere either. I honestly don’t blame him. They’re doing to the Fetts what the Sequel Trilogy did to the Skywalkers and Han Solo.😤
As soon as I started the new episode of The Bad Batch and I didn’t see The Bad Batch, I knew this episode was gonna be great, but damn they just dropped one of the best episodes yet what the hell 😭 I mean I love The Bad Batch, but these episodes that don’t include them have been insane!! Watching Crosshair from being a good soldier following orders from the empire to finally realizing that this shit isn’t right, it’s all been so cool to unravel and I just need more of this. It was so emotional, but Mayday had to die for Crosshair to finally come to his senses about all of this and man he’s beginning to be one of my characters of the series… and that’s coming from someone who didn’t really care for him during season 1 😭
They have their differences, but Din and Bo work work well together. I want to see more of them, together. Star Wars loves opposites who attract. Leia and Han, Mara and Luke, etc. Romance doesn't necessarily have to enter into it though. Din has the faith and a good heart that Bo has mostly lost over time to cynicism. Bo is probably at least a decade older and she has a lot of experience and memories with Mandalorian culture and history that Din often lacks. If they are able to set aside their differences and work towards a common goal that's larger than either of them individually, I believe that they could make a formidable partnership. I think they can teach each other how to become better Mandalorians. Perhaps the most obvious arc for their characters would appear to be conflict with each other, but I think that's neither a particularly interesting nor a particularly unforeseen path for Favreau and Filoni to lead us down. However, whatever the path, I know I'll be along for the ride. And yes, I totally exclaimed, quite loudly, "that's a mythosaur!"
really love to see Bad Batch and Mando are connecting to each other, I really hope Bad Batch keep doing this until episode 14 cause 15-16 are obviously a finale so they're not gonna be random mission/filler
Great episode! Bo-Katan had become complacent and cynical about the whole mandalorian culture. Watching Din taking the whole creed so seriously was almost humorous to her because she saw it divide mandalorians for so long. She saw all the myths as stories for children and watching Din walk into the water reminded her of how seriously Mandalorians need to take their culture. Her seeing the mythosoar restored faith in her culture and values in being a mandalorian. She was taken by surprise and shaken up that all the myths were true by seeing the mythosoar, restoring faith in her culture. I don’t think she was trying to trick Din at all (she could have left him but she dove straight in with no hesitation). She was trying to prove a point that it’s nothing special. She left realising the myths were true! It’s all true, all of it. Very exciting. Love your content @starwarstheory
The Mandalorian episode was a little better than last weekends episode, I was not expecting the Mythosaur to appear in the very end. Seeing Crosshair breaking down after he nearly froze to death, watched the Empire treated his fellow Clones so cruelly, and watched Mayday die slowly in front of him was just so sad.
Bo-Katan had been thinking all this time that all these legends and traditions were all fairy tales. Din, on the contrary, sincerely believes in his creed. And when Bo-Katan sees the Mythosaurus saving Din, she realizes that she was wrong about the fact that this is all fiction. She'll start believing like Din. It's funny how Din's faith came true. Even such an atheist as Bo-Katan saw with her own eyes that not all fairy tales are fiction. That's why this episode so great!! Love it!
They should have released episode 1 and 2 as one long season opener, because a lot of people where whining last week. The opening scene with the Mandalorian kid getting his helmet and the turtle makes much more sense now. I think Bo-Katan just saw Mandalore as being nothing but trouble, not that she specifically knew the mythosaur was there.
It’s kind of funny that the very name of that creature implies that it’s just a mythical monster. Does it existing warrant a name change with a different prefix and keep “saur” as the suffix?
I wonder if that freaky cyborg thing is an ancient Mandalorian gone mad, surviving down in the sewers or something. I wonder if that's ever going to get an explanation lol
bo seemed proud of mando, and the way she threw herself after him in the water theres no way she knew it was alive, i think her seeing mandalore gave her a new insight and she wont be lusting after the power but perhaps something else 👀
Oh yeah amazing !!!!! Din gets saved twice by strong whamen Din walks down cave gets attacked by god awful puppets Bo then walks down same cave gets attacked by same awful puppet monsters But we saw an eye of a mythasour Disney wars fans OMG !!! 10 /10;
@@mccleandazza4618 ive been a star wars fan for damn near 20 years. I just appreciate what they do give us. Weither it be what we want or not. Appreciate the little things.
This is the perfect moment for Bo Katan to "recieve" the mythosaur, she is disallusioned and sitting around all day depressed. A reconnection to Mandalorian roots is what she needs. Dude this ep was awesome!! Bo has a special connection with the dark saber hoooly Also... Bo slapped Ahsoka's ass in canon. Your welcome. (source: when younger mando guy took ahsoka to concordia to death watch)
I like how they showed Mando and Bo finding some common ground on Mandalore despite having two different beliefs. I was worried when they showed Bo sitting hopelessly on her throne, thinking that the show was turning her into another Jake Skywalker. Thankfully she continues being a badass in this episode, even presenting a soft side of her being caring towards other Mandalorian like Din.
The whole point of her being sarcastic telling him goodluck going there is that to her, all the 'woo woo' is pointless. Tradition for spectacle as she said. She knows the waters aren't mystical, or that the planet is cursed or toxic. However, faith, belief and family are what bind us. Seeing Din so blindly follow the ex 'Death Watch cult' is somewhat inspiring. Sticking to the code and being one with the Mandalorian ways. The Mythosaur pulling him under is also symbolic in a way. A baptism by the most revered creature if not thing in their culture. He didn't drop all that way by himself. If almost revealing itself to them, letting her know not all tradition and legends are woo woo, pointless or false. The whole episode was great. I like seeing Bo Katan absolutely shocked at the end. Din also zealously following the creed was inspiring. The Bad Batch episode was also fantastic. 2 great episodes to get Wednesday off to a bang!
Maybe, but that would only occur if the show does a timeskip and by then, Grogu must be stronger with the force. Right now, that's an overly tasking activity for Grogu and, skilled wise, he is not prepared yet.
Half way through I had a theory what if the Mandalorian was really about grogu because he is Mandalorian now and Mando ends up getting killed lol it’s early in the morning so I may just be nuts
I really think Din can make the case to Bo that SHE now is the rightful owner of the Darksabre. It was taken from him, and she claimed it back and used it to defeat the thing that took it from Din. I'm not sure if he's aware of that though, but if they talked about what happened, I think the "logic" of ownership puts it into her possession. I also think that her having seen the Mythosaur that it could spark her to either (a) trying to tame it, or (b) it inspires her to be more like Din...no longer removing her helmet. She too bathed in the waters, so she could be seen as redeemed by The Armorer.
Reading the chat and billy88joe said "BIG GOOBER FISH" about the mythosaur and I havent laughed that hard in ages. How dare you make me remember Jar Jar Binks' voice.
Dear god theory and crew, Bo HAD TO USE HER JETPACK TO CATCHUP WITH HIM to get to the bottom The mythosaur absolutely dragged his ass to the bottom to repent for his sins. And then Bo was permitted to aid him for unknown reasons by the mythosaur.
Seeing a mythosaur was bonkers. And as for that droid thing? Was I the only one thinking someone took the head of Pre Vizsla and made it all grievous like? I mean who else could that be? I doubt it's maul.
She was definitely surprised that it was there. She thought it was all a myth. She was mocking its existence while reading the sign. I also think when she said good luck was just sarcasm.
So Bo-Katan father was the ruler of the Mandalore and die (possibly in a civil war) which lead to her older sister Satine Kryze to become a pacifist and the next ruler.
Hey guys. I think Bo-Katan is now The Manda'lor. Din Djarin lost The DarkSaber when bested by the cyborg creature. Bo-Katan picked it up, besting the creature with it, saving Din. According to Mandalorian Tradition, doesn't The DarkSaber belong to her now? She's also the first to see a Mythosaur in thousands of years. The Armourer is gonna have a conniption fit!!
So regarding Din going bloop into the water. He was probably still weak from whatever the heck the weird thing did. Also, I don't think Bo knew the Mythosaur was there. The spring could originally covered up that spot of the mine and when the bombing occurred could have caused a cave in to expose the deeper part again. Also, back in the episode of Din's banishment in BoBF. I did say it would be crazy to find a Mythosaur while in the mines. I'd have to go find the exact stream and timestamp of when I sent it 😅 Anyways, a well paced episode for sure and I enjoyed it along with the BAd Batch episode!
On top of that Din's armor is made out of pure beskar, so I think it might be much heavier than standard mandalorian armor. The only reference I found on this is "Mandalorian iron" article on Wookieepedia. Quote: "In the foundry, carbons were often added to the ore to create a molecular cage structure that allowed Mandalorian iron to be lighter than contemporary metals, while still retaining its incredible toughness. Without the addition of carbon, beskar was significantly heavier."
Oh man we really needed this mando episode lmao. The first episode this season was rough as fuck, but this one was really good. They even did the modern trope of having the guy be the damsel in distress to be saved by the strong independent woman not feel forced and actually kind of earned for bo because she’s mandalorian royalty and better be a good warrior lmao.
TBB S2 is such an improvement over S1. From episodes like this, to one’s where the batch has their ideals change, to how they deal with losing another team member, wow
I gotta be honest with you man.although I really enjoyed the first episodes of season 3,the writing just feels like it went downhill all of a sudden which is very confusing considering that’s the same director who gave us a banger of a season 1 and 2.
it wasn't by honourable combat and on agreeable terms. Take an example in Darth Maul vs Pre Viszla, Maul and Savage vs Palpatine in TCW and Garr Saxon vs Sabine Wren. What happened to Din wasn't. To be a true Mandalore, it has to be by honorable combat and on agreeable terms Bo Katan claimed the Dark Sabre from Sabine Wren via honouring the previous Mandalore's request of ruling in Sabine's stead but not in combat, making her a de facto Mandalore.
I will watch The Mandalorian later today. I have to wait on the ole wifey to watch it :( lol! Idk how it always happens, but everytime I use my monthly member super chat it seems to never get to you. 13 months woop woop! Lol. Watching Bad Batch now on replay with you! Have a good day, Theory!
I legit also thought Bo gave a little look man. It's either that she's getting into him, or she's getting inspired by him. (for some stupid ass reason I kinda hope it's both)
Wait, I can't be the only one who thinks she didn't know the mythosaur was there, right? My interpretation was that she was looking at Din as he entered the waters with some awe in her eyes, almost realizing that it would be impossible that she'd ever feel like anyone could inspire her like he did. Even if she doesn't believe, there are some who still do and that is important to them. As she looks at him getting in the waters, nothing grabbed him, he just dropped due to his heavy beskar armor. Likely that he didn't know there would be a sudden drop after just a few steps. It felt like the mythosaur only opened its eyes after she caused the disturbance in the waters with her jetpack. She looked at it almost hopeful that she finally found a way to rally her people under her rule again, as her ancestor once did, by taming that mythosaur.
I really hope at some point we see mando Bo Katan and Boba Fett fighting side-by-side taking turns wielding the darksaber to show that Mandalore doesn't need one ruler but mandalorians from different creeds working together for all of Mandalore. Such a sight might make the forgemaster feel differently
What about this. Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin become a power couple, and rule Mandalore together, raising Grogu and have little Mando and Manda babies?
Great episodes! I watched this after the live stream but managed to sync up by the reflection in your glasses, so thanks for wearing those :) I ship ManBo, SabEzra, and AhsoD2.
Grogu gonna tame the Mythosaurs, calling it now! He already showed hes got beast control a little bit, ... ye, its gonna be Grogu and they all gonna be like "Uuuuhm, what now?!👀"
Watched this live late but wanted to comment on Bo’s encounter at the end - I think that her seeing the Mythosaur made her reevaluate the view that the creed and traditions were just empty performance for the subjects. There may be more to it, and might be what helps unite the Mandalorians. At least from her perspective.
no way they just casually dropped the best bad batch episode
They did though funny part is that the bad batch wasn't in it. I wonder what that should tell disney

If they are able to set aside their differences and work towards a common goal that's larger than either of them individually, I believe that they could make a formidable partnership. I think they can teach each other how to become better Mandalorians.
Perhaps the most obvious arc for their characters would appear to be conflict with each other, but I think that's neither a particularly interesting nor a particularly unforeseen path for Favreau and Filoni to lead us down. However, whatever the path, I know I'll be along for the ride.
And yes, I totally exclaimed, quite loudly, "that's a mythosaur!"
really love to see Bad Batch and Mando are connecting to each other, I really hope Bad Batch keep doing this until episode 14 cause 15-16 are obviously a finale so they're not gonna be random mission/filler
Great episode!
Bo-Katan had become complacent and cynical about the whole mandalorian culture.
Watching Din taking the whole creed so seriously was almost humorous to her because she saw it divide mandalorians for so long.
She saw all the myths as stories for children and watching Din walk into the water reminded her of how seriously Mandalorians need to take their culture.
Her seeing the mythosoar restored faith in her culture and values in being a mandalorian. She was taken by surprise and shaken up that all the myths were true by seeing the mythosoar, restoring faith in her culture.
I don’t think she was trying to trick Din at all (she could have left him but she dove straight in with no hesitation). She was trying to prove a point that it’s nothing special.
She left realising the myths were true!
It’s all true, all of it.
Very exciting.
Love your content @starwarstheory
The Mandalorian episode was a little better than last weekends episode, I was not expecting the Mythosaur to appear in the very end.
Seeing Crosshair breaking down after he nearly froze to death, watched the Empire treated his fellow Clones so cruelly, and watched Mayday die slowly in front of him was just so sad.
The Mythosaur..it's alive...ALIIIVE!!!!
@@SiriuslyBlack7 haha!
The last one was a prologue, I knew they were leaving the best surprises for other plans.
I don't think Bo knew about the Mythasour, but the armourer on the other hand, what other proof could one use as proof of bathing in the waters.
Star Wars bringing back extinct kaijus like its christmas (zilo and mythosaur) and im all for it
The Armorer foreshadowed the mythosaur rising from the deep and grabbing a mando to start the next generation in Mando episodes prior. Awesome linkage
Bo-Katan had been thinking all this time that all these legends and traditions were all fairy tales. Din, on the contrary, sincerely believes in his creed. And when Bo-Katan sees the Mythosaurus saving Din, she realizes that she was wrong about the fact that this is all fiction. She'll start believing like Din. It's funny how Din's faith came true. Even such an atheist as Bo-Katan saw with her own eyes that not all fairy tales are fiction. That's why this episode so great!! Love it!
They should have released episode 1 and 2 as one long season opener, because a lot of people where whining last week. The opening scene with the Mandalorian kid getting his helmet and the turtle makes much more sense now. I think Bo-Katan just saw Mandalore as being nothing but trouble, not that she specifically knew the mythosaur was there.
It’s kind of funny that the very name of that creature implies that it’s just a mythical monster. Does it existing warrant a name change with a different prefix and keep “saur” as the suffix?
@@austinbevis4266 I think it was extinct, not imaginary.
I wonder if that freaky cyborg thing is an ancient Mandalorian gone mad, surviving down in the sewers or something. I wonder if that's ever going to get an explanation lol
Kinda got Demagol vibes
I first thought it was General Grievious
With that creepy one,roving eye!
@@darthryuk7656 totally thought it was grievous as well!
@@darthryuk7656 it definitely isn’t but I think the creature is partially inspired by grievous
bo seemed proud of mando, and the way she threw herself after him in the water theres no way she knew it was alive, i think her seeing mandalore gave her a new insight and she wont be lusting after the power but perhaps something else 👀
watching Crosshair bust a cap in the lieutenant was so satisfying 😭
Mythosaur!!! What an episode that was. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Oh yeah amazing !!!!!
Din gets saved twice by strong whamen
Din walks down cave gets attacked by god awful puppets
Bo then walks down same cave gets attacked by same awful puppet monsters
But we saw an eye of a mythasour
Disney wars fans OMG !!! 10 /10;
@@mccleandazza4618 ive been a star wars fan for damn near 20 years. I just appreciate what they do give us. Weither it be what we want or not. Appreciate the little things.
Din isnt supposed to kick ass every single episode. Called character development
@@TheOnlyWalton66 and that's why we keep getting crap cos you accept and appreciate any old rubbish...have higher standards
@@mccleandazza4618 dude your arguing with random on TH-cam over space fantasy 😂 go get laid you incel freak 😂
Not going to lie Katee was looking good as hell in that armor!!
This is the perfect moment for Bo Katan to "recieve" the mythosaur, she is disallusioned and sitting around all day depressed. A reconnection to Mandalorian roots is what she needs. Dude this ep was awesome!! Bo has a special connection with the dark saber hoooly
Also... Bo slapped Ahsoka's ass in canon. Your welcome. (source: when younger mando guy took ahsoka to concordia to death watch)
The mandalorian episode was phenomenal but the new bad batch was a fckin MASTERPIECE
What a great episode of The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch. This is the Way
Disney had no right dropping two absolute bangers at the same time
This is the way.
It’s funny how the disgrace toward the clones from the empire lead them to basically have a noob military and loose to the rebellion
The mythasaur underwater told din he’s the real mandalorian. You could see Bo Katan accepting it while he did his lil dip in the pool.
I like how they showed Mando and Bo finding some common ground on Mandalore despite having two different beliefs. I was worried when they showed Bo sitting hopelessly on her throne, thinking that the show was turning her into another Jake Skywalker. Thankfully she continues being a badass in this episode, even presenting a soft side of her being caring towards other Mandalorian like Din.
The whole point of her being sarcastic telling him goodluck going there is that to her, all the 'woo woo' is pointless. Tradition for spectacle as she said. She knows the waters aren't mystical, or that the planet is cursed or toxic.
However, faith, belief and family are what bind us. Seeing Din so blindly follow the ex 'Death Watch cult' is somewhat inspiring. Sticking to the code and being one with the Mandalorian ways.
The Mythosaur pulling him under is also symbolic in a way. A baptism by the most revered creature if not thing in their culture. He didn't drop all that way by himself. If almost revealing itself to them, letting her know not all tradition and legends are woo woo, pointless or false.
The whole episode was great. I like seeing Bo Katan absolutely shocked at the end. Din also zealously following the creed was inspiring.
The Bad Batch episode was also fantastic. 2 great episodes to get Wednesday off to a bang!
Could crosshair be the base model for snoke?
Grogu is The Mandalorian.
Grogu will force-tame the Mythosaur the same way he did with the Mudhorn and Rancor
Maybe, but that would only occur if the show does a timeskip and by then, Grogu must be stronger with the force. Right now, that's an overly tasking activity for Grogu and, skilled wise, he is not prepared yet.
Half way through I had a theory what if the Mandalorian was really about grogu because he is Mandalorian now and Mando ends up getting killed lol it’s early in the morning so I may just be nuts
I would like that plot
@@Xyber7 it would be pretty cool
I really think Din can make the case to Bo that SHE now is the rightful owner of the Darksabre. It was taken from him, and she claimed it back and used it to defeat the thing that took it from Din. I'm not sure if he's aware of that though, but if they talked about what happened, I think the "logic" of ownership puts it into her possession. I also think that her having seen the Mythosaur that it could spark her to either (a) trying to tame it, or (b) it inspires her to be more like Din...no longer removing her helmet. She too bathed in the waters, so she could be seen as redeemed by The Armorer.
Reading the chat and billy88joe said "BIG GOOBER FISH" about the mythosaur and I havent laughed that hard in ages. How dare you make me remember Jar Jar Binks' voice.
@billy88joe
There's always a bigger fish
Dear god theory and crew, Bo HAD TO USE HER JETPACK TO CATCHUP WITH HIM to get to the bottom
The mythosaur absolutely dragged his ass to the bottom to repent for his sins.
And then Bo was permitted to aid him for unknown reasons by the mythosaur.
That was the best Bad Batch episode by far in my opinion! So powerful with barely any dialogue from Crosshair. RIP Mayday 😞
Seeing a mythosaur was bonkers. And as for that droid thing? Was I the only one thinking someone took the head of Pre Vizsla and made it all grievous like? I mean who else could that be? I doubt it's maul.
My favorite bad batch episode. Gave me chills. God damn I love Crosshair.
She was definitely surprised that it was there. She thought it was all a myth. She was mocking its existence while reading the sign. I also think when she said good luck was just sarcasm.
Phenomenal mandalorian episode. Bravo
So Bo-Katan father was the ruler of the Mandalore and die (possibly in a civil war) which lead to her older sister Satine Kryze to become a pacifist and the next ruler.
Hey guys. I think Bo-Katan is now The Manda'lor. Din Djarin lost The DarkSaber when bested by the cyborg creature. Bo-Katan picked it up, besting the creature with it, saving Din. According to Mandalorian Tradition, doesn't The DarkSaber belong to her now? She's also the first to see a Mythosaur in thousands of years. The Armourer is gonna have a conniption fit!!
Thanks as always General Theory 🤘
Is the Cyborg thing what’s left of Gar Saxon? See how he reacted to hearing Bo-Katan’s name
I’m glad everyone is finally recognizing how much of an absolute BADDIE Katee Sackhoff is
Grogu is going to ride the Mythosaur. You know he has a connection with the living beasts.
So regarding Din going bloop into the water. He was probably still weak from whatever the heck the weird thing did. Also, I don't think Bo knew the Mythosaur was there. The spring could originally covered up that spot of the mine and when the bombing occurred could have caused a cave in to expose the deeper part again.
Also, back in the episode of Din's banishment in BoBF. I did say it would be crazy to find a Mythosaur while in the mines. I'd have to go find the exact stream and timestamp of when I sent it 😅
Anyways, a well paced episode for sure and I enjoyed it along with the BAd Batch episode!
On top of that Din's armor is made out of pure beskar, so I think it might be much heavier than standard mandalorian armor. The only reference I found on this is "Mandalorian iron" article on Wookieepedia. Quote: "In the foundry, carbons were often added to the ore to create a molecular cage structure that allowed Mandalorian iron to be lighter than contemporary metals, while still retaining its incredible toughness. Without the addition of carbon, beskar was significantly heavier."
@@GiraelCS good point!
Cakey Sackhoff set the screen on fire! Its women's history month and i can't wait to get more of her "back-story".
Absolutely loved the new madalore episode feels like season one again as we are going on a journey and not a mission
Don’t think he was dragged down, he took of his jetpack and I can imagine his armor has some weight to it! Looked like he just sank haha
No
Oh man we really needed this mando episode lmao. The first episode this season was rough as fuck, but this one was really good. They even did the modern trope of having the guy be the damsel in distress to be saved by the strong independent woman not feel forced and actually kind of earned for bo because she’s mandalorian royalty and better be a good warrior lmao.
Bo Katan wasn’t shocked she seen the mythosaur she was shocked she seen the biggest fish in the sea.
holy cripes! mythosaur! bo had no clue it was there from her reaction
Mayday managed to become one of my favourite clones in one episode
Did Crosshair died or just got fainted by that thing got ejected to him?
He’s probably gonna die
That's mad what an amazing episode always trips me out when you say it's night I wake up and the ep comes out at 8 am
Starwars fans eating good tonight😆
This was a great episode
TBB S2 is such an improvement over S1. From episodes like this, to one’s where the batch has their ideals change, to how they deal with losing another team member, wow
I'm sorry but Din going to bathe in the waters but sinking like a brick because of his armour was pretty funny
Seemed like one of those vines you see of baptizing fails
Captain Bragg (the person who Crosshair wakes up to) is not voiced by the Omega voice actor (Michelle Ang) she's voiced by Shelby Young, an American.
Omg we will actual be able to see the MYTHOSAUR that’s a crazy move for Star Wars
I like the remix of the theme song in the opening part of the live stream who does it?
i think the bird reminded crosshair of the keerdacks from TCW S7 epsiodes when they flew on them after rescuing echo.
So wait…Din gets defeated and disarmed then Bo Katan defeats the guy who defeated Din and recovers the saber.
Why isn’t it hers now?
Cos it's not the elder wand
I thought the same thing
I gotta be honest with you man.although I really enjoyed the first episodes of season 3,the writing just feels like it went downhill all of a sudden which is very confusing considering that’s the same director who gave us a banger of a season 1 and 2.
@@Sunflah It works on the same rules.
it wasn't by honourable combat and on agreeable terms. Take an example in Darth Maul vs Pre Viszla, Maul and Savage vs Palpatine in TCW and Garr Saxon vs Sabine Wren. What happened to Din wasn't. To be a true Mandalore, it has to be by honorable combat and on agreeable terms
Bo Katan claimed the Dark Sabre from Sabine Wren via honouring the previous Mandalore's request of ruling in Sabine's stead but not in combat, making her a de facto Mandalore.
I will watch The Mandalorian later today. I have to wait on the ole wifey to watch it :( lol! Idk how it always happens, but everytime I use my monthly member super chat it seems to never get to you. 13 months woop woop! Lol. Watching Bad Batch now on replay with you! Have a good day, Theory!
Was R5 chopper from rebels?
I legit also thought Bo gave a little look man. It's either that she's getting into him, or she's getting inspired by him.
(for some stupid ass reason I kinda hope it's both)
That’s would be a Hell of a power couple
Grogu needs a mom, why not?🤷♂️😂
Both killer episodes so cool that even in animation they can lay it on heavy id say even more dark that the live action shows.
Wait, I can't be the only one who thinks she didn't know the mythosaur was there, right?
My interpretation was that she was looking at Din as he entered the waters with some awe in her eyes, almost realizing that it would be impossible that she'd ever feel like anyone could inspire her like he did. Even if she doesn't believe, there are some who still do and that is important to them. As she looks at him getting in the waters, nothing grabbed him, he just dropped due to his heavy beskar armor. Likely that he didn't know there would be a sudden drop after just a few steps. It felt like the mythosaur only opened its eyes after she caused the disturbance in the waters with her jetpack. She looked at it almost hopeful that she finally found a way to rally her people under her rule again, as her ancestor once did, by taming that mythosaur.
Ahsokatan or Manbo. Which will reign supreme? Time will tell.
I really hope at some point we see mando Bo Katan and Boba Fett fighting side-by-side taking turns wielding the darksaber to show that Mandalore doesn't need one ruler but mandalorians from different creeds working together for all of Mandalore. Such a sight might make the forgemaster feel differently
What does he stream on
I wasn't expecting both the episodes to be great but oh my shitting fuck........ bad batch really was incredible
What about this. Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin become a power couple, and rule Mandalore together, raising Grogu and have little Mando and Manda babies?
Great episodes! I watched this after the live stream but managed to sync up by the reflection in your glasses, so thanks for wearing those :) I ship ManBo, SabEzra, and AhsoD2.
I thought Grogru was going to pick up the sabre for a moment.
Grogu gonna tame the Mythosaurs, calling it now!
He already showed hes got beast control a little bit, ... ye, its gonna be Grogu and they all gonna be like "Uuuuhm, what now?!👀"
2:11:11 In Book of Boba Fett, Grogu tamed rancor. I say he is Din’s secret weapon to become Mando the Ultimate mark II
What are your thoughts about Kylo Rens helmet not being in the intro Star Wars animation anymore?
I think the empire will catch omega and bring her to Nale Se and as the bad batch come to the mouintain they will find Crosshair as well.
Kinda reminds me of that Jedi you fight on the junkyard planet in The Force Unleashed.
Theory what are your thoughts on Dave Filoni saying Luke isn't a jedi?
Watched this live late but wanted to comment on Bo’s encounter at the end - I think that her seeing the Mythosaur made her reevaluate the view that the creed and traditions were just empty performance for the subjects. There may be more to it, and might be what helps unite the Mandalorians. At least from her perspective.
Deep lore: you can also earn the dark saber by finishing first.
