Don't forget about Grand Admiral Thrawn!!! For all of the old school fans of the Timothy Zhan / Thrawn trilogy books. That's definitely what I'm most hyped for. If you haven't read them, I'd highly recommend checking them out, or listen to the audio book versions which are really good as well.

Agreed. This one scene alone is a masterpiece compared to what they did to him in two movies. But tbh, the picky part of me kinda wanted him to use more force powers. Like something along the lines of Darth Vader vs Cal Kestis or Ezra, or even Yoda vs Dooku. Something to show him not even trying. But don’t get me wrong, I still loved what I got to see.
@@datzfatz2368 I will try to explain in a better way. I liked the movies and all, the universe that surrounded but never got too deep or kinda of look for more material. This show and this episode made me want too se more content from this franchise, to discover new story’s and characters
@@caiobelache1 ah ok now i get it^^ thanks for explaining! I am very glad that the Mandalorian could do that for you, it does seem to be a really magical show. Because as a longtime fan who was very dissapointed with the new movies, this Show has revived my love and excitement for new Star Wars again^^
I was not expecting Disney to do that I know they've been bringing in characters from other mediums but dam they actually did it, holy shit. 11/10 episode.
@@adrianpallis4568 Yeah there's fan service but it's well done and much better content overall. I don't think fans have universally loved something this much since the OG trilogy. They finally earned the trust of the fan base again!
@@danielglenn915 3PO unlikely since he was with Padme during Operation Knightfall. R2 possibly saved him without Anakin knowing during the Purge, and hid him in secret until Anakin is done with his mission and went to Mustafar in RoTS
@@primecoconut4204 not all padawons were on Coruscant. Vader and the inquisitors knocked them off for months and years to come. I think R2's response to seeing Grogu indicated more repoire than just merely noticing a familiar face from the crowd of younglings. I think they have a deeper connection.
This is the most emotionally powerful and exhausting episode of anything live action Star Wars I have seen in years. Seeing Luke wrecking shop like a true Jedi was something I never thought I would see after the movies, and then ending with Din finally revealing his face to Grogu; damnit I’m crying just writing this. I LOVE STAR WARS AGAIN WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!
I love the fact that in Return of the Jedi they used the same prop what Alec Guiness used at Episode IV. It's part of a collection now, but still nice detail.
Guys, the genius of the title "The Mandalorian" is that they can do books of different mandos. Book of Djarin, Fett, Katan, Visla, maybe even Jango. 😮 past and future.
The Mandalorian Season 3 is set to release on Christmas 2021... Disney’s not going to release 2 shows at the same time (because that’s only one monthly payment). “The Book of Boba Fett” will be season 3.
It's also a cool reference to Dave Filoni since he also worked on Avatar The Last Airbender which the episodes are grouped into Books. Imagine the name of the last book will be: The Book of The Mandalore
@@ManateeSmuggler Well no. Disney confirmed its a spin-off series. Also it wouldnt make any sense especially after what happened to the dark saber. Season 3 will probably be about Mando and Bo Katan trying to rebuild Mandalore
Everyone comparing Luke's hallway scene to Vader's in Rogue One but all I could think of was the parallel between Luke removing Vader's helmet for the first time to see his father's face with Mando removing his helmet to see his son. Not exactly the same, of course, but I had tears in my eyes the whole time. 😭
"I saw Bib Fortuna in the credits" I said the same and I immediately click on that fast forward button and my oh my! This was an amazing season finale!
"He will never be safe until he masters his abilities" For the safety of the Child, he let him go... that's how much Din Djarin loves Grogu 💕 Din promised Grogu he will see him again, and the guy keeps his promises 😉
The moment I saw the green lightsaber, I had chills and then I started to cry knowing who it was. Every nerd particle in me shook with the force. I screamed and and enjoyed it.
I'm a 49 year man and completely lost my shit screaming when Red-5 showed up!!! Tears and all!!! This season was better than the prequels AND sequels put together! This is how you tell a Star Wars story!!! Favreau and Filoni, you beautiful bastards you, thank you for making me feel like a kid again!!!
@@flawlessxyeti4138 yet the other two stink especially attack of the clones . Just like the force awakens is good but the other two stink. See how that works ?
EPIC!!!! The Mandalorian did what the whole new Trilogy couldn't, that's all the fans wanted... to see Luke Skywalker in action once again. Mando crying at end for the Child I'm heartbroken for him. Fantastic finale!!!!
@@hrishikeshsungar4937 yeahs that what I love, there are so many “reactions” where Luke comes on screen clearly with black glove and lightsaber and they are like “who’s that” I’ll only watch these guys and blindwave for anything star wars related, oh and Star Wars theory
I love that this episode is called The Rescue.... because on the surface it could be attributed to Mando saving Baby Yoda.... but honestly I think it's called that because of the way the Jedi rescues everyone from the Dark Troopers.
Favreau and filoni and Reed turned me into a kid again , I cheered so hard, great reaction guys. Also just wanted to say one of my favourite parts was Gideons face when the gang were like “one x-wing” , it’s not stated he’s force sensitive , but I like to think he is on a basic level . I’m sure Gideon like all upper members of the empire have heard of Luke by now, and from HIS pov he’s a person who took on Vader and Palpitine 2 vs 1 , since the details are known to us viewers , so instead of facing that monster he tried to off himself once he assumed Luke was on his way, my perspective anyway
I’m a 36 year old man who has loved Star Wars since I was a kid - I’m not ashamed to say I literally started welling up with tears when just the thought of Luke Skywalker coming in to save the day the way he did was about to happen - for me the way they shot this and executed this was one of the greatest moments in on screen HISTORY - Star Wars was suddenly MIND BLOWING AGAIN - thank you so much to the creators of The Mandalorian - this was nothing short of AMAZING X
Ever thought of the possibility that your personal perception is subjective? Just because you didn't think it was rough doesn't mean it wasn't, the same goes the other way around. But the fact that there are multiple people addressing the same issue means that it wasn't at the very least beyond unnoticeable.
To me it wasn't the greatest cgi but, I don't care because it was Luke!!! I'm very willing to overlook the cgi in this case. I did the same with Princess Leia in Rogue One.
These guys have a background in visual effects and have worked in the industry for years. They have a sharper eye on those details than most - I’m an average fan, and the CGI was fine for me.
If anyone claims to be OK after the last few minutes of Epi8, he/she is a liar! I'm nowhere ready to contemplate a S3 without Din and Grogu, and I hold no excitement for the spin offs. I loved the fresh take The Mandalorian offered and I can't wait to see how Din adjusts to a life unmasked and holding the sword to the kingdom. May the force with everyone who enjoyed the season! 🙌🏼
Your's was one of my favorite reaction videos about this episode that I have seen thus far. I am excited to see how the story forks off from this episode. There are so many questions that will become RICH story telling. Thank you Disney for listening to the fans, and giving us back the Luke Skywalker we all knew he was!!!! This is the Way!!!!
You guys are amazingly entertaining and give great analysis. In all honesty I too was saddened by the fact that the growth between Din and Grogu had developed in such a special way that to separate them seemed tragic emotionally. Hopefully they will reunite and maybe he will become a Jedi Mandalorian. An excellent episode but it seemed more like the end of a series than the end of a season.
I stayed up to watch when it dropped. The moment the X-wing showed up I paused it and just started crying. Using the cameras to hide the lightsaber color the first time we see it was cool. Added to the suspense and made the green reveal even better. My heart is so, so full. What a great end to a shitty year.
Not a Star Wars fan, casual viewer, but I started watching Clone Wars, Rebels and other shows during Covid. You guys were a big part of my journey down the rabbit hole. Your carmaraderie and friendship is clear and your knowledge and passion for the lore kept me viewing all the programs. Augustin was killing me. Between the "WINGS UP.... WINGS UP" & "RIGHT THROUGH THE CHEST!!!!", Bruh was completely invested. Good Stuff. Thanks for making this an enjoyable journey.
Great episode. Hear me out. Luke is my favourite character next to Leia , (and now Din Din Jarin and Grogu). However, having Luke return did take me out a bit of the story as much as I love there character. It worries me that TPTB are so focused on spinoffs and possibly losing the quality and originality of this series. I hope I'm wrong. I think at some point, Grogu will come back to Din in Mandalore. Din has a misconception of what Mandalore is like now, and he'll learn more about. He'll be formulating his identity and what is important to him. At least, I sure hope that's where it's going. I've so enjoyed watching this series because of its originality, respecting the lore of the SW universe, but without always being attached to the legacy characters.
Seen it 4 times already and ugly cried each time. This was epic! I had a feeling about Luke. Man thank you Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni for bringing us The Mandalorian. Also appreciate all the strong female characters! Can't wait until the next season
Great reactions guys! Me? I'm 54 and grew up seeing the originals...this made me cry like a little boy. So happy that the magic returned. Best thing about 2020.
Have you ever watched Battlestar Galactica? Katee Sackhoff played the pilot Starbuck in it. This episode had a lot of Battlestar Galactica references? Those Dark Troopers were Cylons for sure. The launch of the Tie Fighter was from Galactica Vipers lunch too (Viper as the Galactica's fighter ships, not the Pedro Pascal from GOT hehehe). And also when Bo-Katan lands the ship, was like Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck landing a Viper. That episode was a clear Katee Sackhoff homage to Galactica. And I loved! ♥
I was only waiting on 3 reactions and first ones in. I cried, i was happy, thats my 2020 finished off with an early christmas present. THANKYOU LUCAS film, DF and JF, SW is in good hands.
my mother is from a Foreign country and is over 80yo, never seen star wars at all. She barely understands English. I introduced to her and binged watched with her every single canon star wars having to explain everything in her native language over the course of a year, when she saw this episode, she knew it was luke skywalker as soon as she saw the x-wing, and she Cried, but interestingly, she cried when Grogu said Goodbye, and Cried when she saw R2D2 again, instead of crying for Luke. LOL
**incoming transmission** Dave Filoni: the season 2 has been taken care of, my master. George Lucas: It is finished, then. You have restored peace and justice to the fandom.
Wow So glad you posted this I couldnt see it . Thank you Dave filoni and Jon Faverau for giving us Star wars again and glad they gave Luke ( Mark Hamil) an awesome fight and credit all I can say is Bravo!!! Been a fan since seeing the first movie at 11 years old in 1977 so glad I got to see this
Magnificent 7 became complete when Luke joined the team. Doesn't care if CG looked rough, Rogue One Vader scene. Spicy! And now a new show with Boba Fett? Disney has a plan and Favreau & Fioloni head it.
I cry like a baby when i see that lukes redemption; fuck the last triology this is how the SW canon deserves to be treated!!! Love to Favreau and Filoni And for you three guys, thnx for the video i really enjoy it.
I was convinced they wouldn’t do what they did so to say it was a surprise is an understatement. Also the “goodbye” definitely caused some water works.
I loved your reaction guys. You are so great. And this show is so great. At Disney's Investors Day Kathleen Kennedy said that season 3 of Mandalorian was going to come out Christmas 2021, and since now we know the book of boba fett is coming out December 2021, I think this book of boba fett is going to be Mando season 3. AND, it makes sense that it's called the BOOK of boba fett and the episodes are called chapters. Love you guys from Brazil ❤️❤️
Happy to see you fellas expanding your new operation. Gonna have to give your Patreon a look, especially with all those juicy new Star Wars shows on the horizon. BTW, only thought I had during the scene at 3:14 was "Starbuck's going the wrong way up a viper launch tube."
What a finale!!! I love it how they mirrored Vader’s corridor scene in Rogue One (showing why he’s such a bad ass and revered Sith Lord) with Luke in this episode (showing why he’s a bad ass and revered Jedi). Speaking of which, I’d love to see Gareth Edwards direct an episode of this show. I think the way he approached Rogue One is the same as the tone approach of this show. It’s a story set around the events of the Skywalker saga but is very much its own thing and only borrowing elements of the Skywalker movies when necessary to aid the story. In the hands of a lesser director or writer the temptation to give Vader more screen time in Rogue One to please fans would’ve been too tempting, but Gareth used him just enough and to great effect. It is the same with characters from other shows and movies used in The Mandalorian. They are used just enough in order to push the story further. They are there to serve the story and not overshadow it. God I love this show.... I have spoken. 😊
A masterpiece.! This is what you get when you stay true to the original plot without wanting to re-become who knows what, as it happened with STAR TREK.
I'm sure Bo will contact Ahsoka about this Jedi and we'll see the meeting of Luke and Ahsoka, but not in the Mando, in her spin-off. There was no Luke/Boba interaction too, because all of them would took too much attention from Mando and Grogu scene.
I know it’s been a while since this was posted but I didn’t get into the Mandalorian season 1 but watching Season 2 then coming to hang out with you guys and learn about all the Easter eggs and lore made me fall in love with this show! Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new fandom!
I've been saying for a while now, I would've loved to see Luke's Jedi Academy on-screen. And now I'm calling it, I think we'll eventually see it. Possibly following Grogu and other padawans. And that may even lead us into the next trilogy. Grogu may even feature in the next trilogy guys.
Those R2 bleep outs are the best thing ever. What a ride this season has been. I was Agustin this episode, laughing with glee the entire time. Great reaction homies.
THIS JUST IN: You guys got included in GammaRay's compilation of The Mandalorian S2 finale reactions. GammaRay has the best reaction editing out there. I wrote them about this chanel 2 or 3 times, but they might've found you on your own. Check out: Fans React to The Mandalorian Chapter 16: "The Rescue".
So.... Obi-Wan gets his own series.... Lando gets his own series.... Ashoka gets her own series..... Mandalorian continues with season 3.... We get the SW Bad Batch animated spinoff.... and now Boba gets his own series (possibly). Yeah... 2021 is going to be blowin' up like a Death Star.
Honestly, I wasn't into you know who showing up until I watched your reaction. I agreed with Adam, I wanted us to get away from the main storyline of the movies and have it stand alone. But at the same time, I did love how they brought them in and the level of badass in that sequence. Also, can we plz shout out the fact that 4 epicly badass women took over that cruiser without a scratch on them from God knows how many stormtroopers??? They out in some serious work!!
Since 1977 seeing Mark Hamill as Luke at the cinema, he is THE Luke!!! Great reaction guys, loved it. I showed my wife this and asked if I reacted like you guys she said "No, you were actually holding my arm saying over and over 'It's Luke!!', then when he took his hood off, you cried!!" 🤣🤣
In Legends the Hutts were neither bad nor evil in a Jedi/Sith way of looking at things. Also their influence in the criminal underworld was so huge that they were left alone to do their business despite breaking the law. They were in a way an independent faction, that's why in the Clone Wars the Republic wanted to save Jabbas son, and in legends the Republic was doing deals with them later on, after Endor.

The parallel between Luke’s hallway scene to Vader’s in rogue one 😭

The only thing missing is the awkward reunion of Luke and Boba😂
Holy cow, that's why Boba didn't join them to fight in the cruiser. How could I missed that!
Man, that would've been an interesting moment.
He will shit his pants if he see luke
That’s later. When Boba takes some supplies to Grogu at Dins request.
Luke: Boba, son of… a gundark your still alive.

Nice! Now if only we could go back and do it in the other show 😊
Grogu looked like he recognized R2 - maybe R2 saved him from the Jedi Temple?

I stayed up to watch when it dropped. The moment the X-wing showed up I paused it and just started crying. Using the cameras to hide the lightsaber color the first time we see it was cool. Added to the suspense and made the green reveal even better. My heart is so, so full. What a great end to a shitty year.
When Bo landed the shuttle the first thought in my head was Ace Ventura's parking "Like a glove" lol
Not a Star Wars fan, casual viewer, but I started watching Clone Wars, Rebels and other shows during Covid. You guys were a big part of my journey down the rabbit hole. Your carmaraderie and friendship is clear and your knowledge and passion for the lore kept me viewing all the programs.
Augustin was killing me. Between the "WINGS UP.... WINGS UP" & "RIGHT THROUGH THE CHEST!!!!", Bruh was completely invested.
Good Stuff. Thanks for making this an enjoyable journey.
“Estas muy guapo, papi”
Holy shit, just as I’m about to get emotional, I’m dying of laughter. To be fair I’m still crying, but from laughing instead
i had to laugh to keep from crying

Great episode. Hear me out. Luke is my favourite character next to Leia , (and now Din Din Jarin and Grogu). However, having Luke return did take me out a bit of the story as much as I love there character. It worries me that TPTB are so focused on spinoffs and possibly losing the quality and originality of this series. I hope I'm wrong. I think at some point, Grogu will come back to Din in Mandalore. Din has a misconception of what Mandalore is like now, and he'll learn more about. He'll be formulating his identity and what is important to him. At least, I sure hope that's where it's going. I've so enjoyed watching this series because of its originality, respecting the lore of the SW universe, but without always being attached to the legacy characters.
This was AMAZING!! So make possibilities for season 3. Loved your reaction. All of the Luke scenes gave me chills. Lol
Seen it 4 times already and ugly cried each time. This was epic! I had a feeling about Luke. Man thank you Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni for bringing us The Mandalorian. Also appreciate all the strong female characters! Can't wait until the next season
Adam: “We. Called. This.” Me: “You have no idea”
Great reactions guys! Me? I'm 54 and grew up seeing the originals...this made me cry like a little boy. So happy that the magic returned. Best thing about 2020.
Have you ever watched Battlestar Galactica? Katee Sackhoff played the pilot Starbuck in it.
This episode had a lot of Battlestar Galactica references? Those Dark Troopers were Cylons for sure. The launch of the Tie Fighter was from Galactica Vipers lunch too (Viper as the Galactica's fighter ships, not the Pedro Pascal from GOT hehehe). And also when Bo-Katan lands the ship, was like Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck landing a Viper. That episode was a clear Katee Sackhoff homage to Galactica. And I loved! ♥
I was only waiting on 3 reactions and first ones in. I cried, i was happy, thats my 2020 finished off with an early christmas present. THANKYOU LUCAS film, DF and JF, SW is in good hands.
Omg my heart was raising so fast at the end of the episode 🤩
my mother is from a Foreign country and is over 80yo, never seen star wars at all. She barely understands English. I introduced to her and binged watched with her every single canon star wars having to explain everything in her native language over the course of a year, when she saw this episode, she knew it was luke skywalker as soon as she saw the x-wing, and she Cried, but interestingly, she cried when Grogu said Goodbye, and Cried when she saw R2D2 again, instead of crying for Luke. LOL
When the guy on the right said, “Disney+, take all my money,” I cracked up!
I was not expecting this, this quick thank you guys so much!
**incoming transmission**
Dave Filoni: the season 2 has been taken care of, my master.
George Lucas: It is finished, then. You have restored peace and justice to the fandom.
Wow So glad you posted this I couldnt see it . Thank you Dave filoni and Jon Faverau for giving us Star wars again and glad they gave Luke ( Mark Hamil) an awesome fight and credit all I can say is Bravo!!! Been a fan since seeing the first movie at 11 years old in 1977 so glad I got to see this
Magnificent 7 became complete when Luke joined the team. Doesn't care if CG looked rough, Rogue One Vader scene. Spicy! And now a new show with Boba Fett? Disney has a plan and Favreau & Fioloni head it.
Luke about to kill dark troopers
Me: This is where the fun begins
So happy y'all dropped this super quick!
So glad you guys got this out today. This episode was fire.
"Estas my guapo, papi" XD
Can we talk about how good Pedro looks in that amour
with the helmet off?
What a finale!!!
I cry like a baby when i see that lukes redemption; fuck the last triology this is how the SW canon deserves to be treated!!! Love to Favreau and Filoni
And for you three guys, thnx for the video i really enjoy it.
Loved the Battlestar Galactica moment when the tie fighters flew out, a nice touch cosidering Katee Sackhoff stared in it.
Tingles in my jingles guys. Amazing Episode and im just sad we have to wait a yr but i think it will be worth it. Great Reaction guys.
I was convinced they wouldn’t do what they did so to say it was a surprise is an understatement. Also the “goodbye” definitely caused some water works.
Season 1 and 2 were chapters in Din's book. Book of Boba is season 3 of Mandalorian. Season 4 will be Din and Bo on Mandalore.
I loved your reaction guys. You are so great. And this show is so great. At Disney's Investors Day Kathleen Kennedy said that season 3 of Mandalorian was going to come out Christmas 2021, and since now we know the book of boba fett is coming out December 2021, I think this book of boba fett is going to be Mando season 3. AND, it makes sense that it's called the BOOK of boba fett and the episodes are called chapters. Love you guys from Brazil ❤️❤️
Man now I teared up again seeing Grogu and Din's good bye

Happy to see you fellas expanding your new operation. Gonna have to give your Patreon a look, especially with all those juicy new Star Wars shows on the horizon. BTW, only thought I had during the scene at 3:14 was "Starbuck's going the wrong way up a viper launch tube."
What a finale!!!
I love it how they mirrored Vader’s corridor scene in Rogue One (showing why he’s such a bad ass and revered Sith Lord) with Luke in this episode (showing why he’s a bad ass and revered Jedi).
Speaking of which, I’d love to see Gareth Edwards direct an episode of this show. I think the way he approached Rogue One is the same as the tone approach of this show. It’s a story set around the events of the Skywalker saga but is very much its own thing and only borrowing elements of the Skywalker movies when necessary to aid the story. In the hands of a lesser director or writer the temptation to give Vader more screen time in Rogue One to please fans would’ve been too tempting, but Gareth used him just enough and to great effect. It is the same with characters from other shows and movies used in The Mandalorian. They are used just enough in order to push the story further. They are there to serve the story and not overshadow it.
God I love this show.... I have spoken. 😊
A masterpiece.! This is what you get when you stay true to the original plot without wanting to re-become who knows what, as it happened with STAR TREK.
Why didn't Djin ask Luke his name, could have been a scene where Bo Kantan tells Luke she knew Anakin and knows his former padawan Ashoka
Seems like a lot of exposition for the scene when its about something else entirely.
Probably the same reason why Boba wasn't on the bridge when Luke showed up
She didn’t really know Anakin tho. I mean they interacted in Season 7 of TCW but like two sentences each.
Thematically, it makes sense what they did. It would have ruined the moment between Mando and Grogu if we got exposition.
I'm sure Bo will contact Ahsoka about this Jedi and we'll see the meeting of Luke and Ahsoka, but not in the Mando, in her spin-off. There was no Luke/Boba interaction too, because all of them would took too much attention from Mando and Grogu scene.
Yoooo, it was LADIES NIGHT in Mandoville this week! That teamwork was beautiful!
Rangees of the repuvlic seems to be a girls show. :)
@@adrianpallis4568 The show will be for everyone but if the lead cast is made up of women that would be interesting
The left dude explaining the entire scene in detail right before it happens... 😂
I know it’s been a while since this was posted but I didn’t get into the Mandalorian season 1 but watching Season 2 then coming to hang out with you guys and learn about all the Easter eggs and lore made me fall in love with this show! Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new fandom!
I've been saying for a while now, I would've loved to see Luke's Jedi Academy on-screen. And now I'm calling it, I think we'll eventually see it. Possibly following Grogu and other padawans. And that may even lead us into the next trilogy. Grogu may even feature in the next trilogy guys.
Those R2 bleep outs are the best thing ever. What a ride this season has been. I was Agustin this episode, laughing with glee the entire time. Great reaction homies.
THIS JUST IN: You guys got included in GammaRay's compilation of The Mandalorian S2 finale reactions. GammaRay has the best reaction editing out there. I wrote them about this chanel 2 or 3 times, but they might've found you on your own. Check out: Fans React to The Mandalorian Chapter 16: "The Rescue".
So.... Obi-Wan gets his own series.... Lando gets his own series.... Ashoka gets her own series..... Mandalorian continues with season 3.... We get the SW Bad Batch animated spinoff.... and now Boba gets his own series (possibly). Yeah... 2021 is going to be blowin' up like a Death Star.
Not possibly, its a spin-off series. Might be like a 1-2 season show
Honestly, I wasn't into you know who showing up until I watched your reaction. I agreed with Adam, I wanted us to get away from the main storyline of the movies and have it stand alone. But at the same time, I did love how they brought them in and the level of badass in that sequence. Also, can we plz shout out the fact that 4 epicly badass women took over that cruiser without a scratch on them from God knows how many stormtroopers??? They out in some serious work!!
I did not have a permission slip for this feels trip...
So, yeah, don't think too much about this part but Grogo is 50... the Temple was destroyed in about 20 years. He won't be very much bigger at 70.
Ikr, hence why if he really was at that temple, it's pretty unlikely that he survived Ben's temper tantrum.
Hope you guys don’t forget us TH-cam folks with the new Patreon channel 😅
It made me cry too it’s like for a brief moment movies episodes 7,8,9 didn’t exist at all.🤩😭🤩😭🤩
Since 1977 seeing Mark Hamill as Luke at the cinema, he is THE Luke!!! Great reaction guys, loved it. I showed my wife this and asked if I reacted like you guys she said "No, you were actually holding my arm saying over and over 'It's Luke!!', then when he took his hood off, you cried!!" 🤣🤣
Love the Dumb and Dumber reference "Kill him". At least, thats what I think Hector did lol.
100%
congrats guys. Hamil Himself saw you guys in a Mixed Reactions compilation and shared it on his twitter.
Mandalorian is the iron man 1 ,sooo true!! 12:55
I loved that during the hallway scene, he spun around and deflected the blast behind his back like Anakin did.
In Legends the Hutts were neither bad nor evil in a Jedi/Sith way of looking at things. Also their influence in the criminal underworld was so huge that they were left alone to do their business despite breaking the law. They were in a way an independent faction, that's why in the Clone Wars the Republic wanted to save Jabbas son, and in legends the Republic was doing deals with them later on, after Endor.
This series has saved Star Wars and I cant wait to tell my future kids how much I cried watching this episode
They really needed to bounce back hard to save the verse, and they have bounced back HARD.
