0:00 History of Mandalore
2:14 Easter Eggs
Okay, they cover most of this in the recap and in the episode-and we’ve also talked about the history of Mangalore in our recap video. But I’m going to go over everything very quickly, skip to the next chapter if you already know everything about the history of Mandalore.
People settled on a planet called Mandlore, a field with giant monsters called the mythosaur-that’s the beast we see at the end of the episode. The early mandalorians learned to ride them [your people rode great mythosaurs]. The planet is also the galaxy’s only source of a super hard metal called beskar. They were all unified by tarre vizsla, wielder of the darksaber, which is why it’s a symbol of mandalorian rule. But then the mandalorians fight civil wars for several hundred years, until finally they choose a pacifist government.
The non-pacifist group, called death watch, is exiled to mandalor’s moon Concordia. Bo-Katan, from this episode, is a member of death watch, while her sister Satine ruled mandalore as a pacifist state. The clone wars happen, death watch and darth maul conquer mandalore, Bo Katan teams up with Ahsoka Tano to reclaim it-and like BoKatan says [i ruled here briefly]. Because the empire forced her out when they took over the planet.
Years later she’s given the darksaber by another mandalorian, she leads her people against the empire, and then this happens [explosion]. Scattering mandalorians across the galaxy, with Bo katan losing the saber to moff gideon, which is all the backstory before this show begins.
There’s a bit more to it than that, but we’ll cover more lore as we go along.
The Armorer’s previous monologue is from an episode of the Book of Boba Fett. I’ve said it many times, but it was really silly to haveDinand Grogu reunite on that show, just sayin’. Anyways, her dialogue is key [foretold mythosaur heralding a new age]. Now we talked about this last week, but the Mandalorian seems to be moving away from the western and samurai influences of season 1 and 2, and now expanding into a story that is a full-on biblical epic.
Which is a good band name.
Chapter 17 was titled the Apostate, which is a person who has left or been exiled from a religious community. It begins with the baptism of a child, and this episode ends with a baptism. And the stone tablet that Sin has contains a passage from the Book of Exodus-and to paraphrase, it’s about the Jewish people being promised a good land to live in, after they escape slavery in Egypt.
And, in a very brief summary of the book of Exodus-the Jews were enslaved in Egypt, Moses was the chosen one who God appointed to lead them out of slavery and lead to their new home. There's a lot more to it than that, but for the purposes of this episode, that’s what you gotta know. So all of this comes together in this episode.
There’s a prophecy of the mythosaur rising from the waters-and here we see the mythosaur still exists. The real question for the series is, who is going to be the Moses figure in the show? The armorer says [bo katan wanted to rule by blood]. See, the darksaber works like the elder wand-you can only win it by taking it in combat. Bo Katn didn't come by it honestly.
In the canon we’ve seen, Pre Vizsla had it in the clone wars [clip]. The darth Maul on it formed pre vizsla, and left it in a temple on Dathomir. There it was found by Sabine Wren, who just sort of claimed it for herself, and eventually gave it to Bo-Katan [clip]. Because bo katan didn't win the saber, she failed to unite the mandalorians under her rule-because groups like the children of the watch don't recognize its legitimacy.
Now, gotta point out that the rules are funny here. Obi wan beat pre vizsla, didn't win the saber. Ahsoka tano beat maul, but didn't win the saber. Obi wan beat maul, didn't win the saber. Moff gideon beat bo katan, and then Diajarin beat moff gideon-but since Bo Katan never should have had the saber, that means no one wins it, right? - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
11:53 We already saw Peli losing the tooth during the final battle in Book of Boba Fett. Mando, Grogu and Peli were thrown from the Tuk tuk-like taxi during the battle. Mando grabs Grogu, but Peli falls on her face and even spits the tooth out.
Yup was gonna type this if someone else didn't.
You beat me to it
You got it. I'm starting to think it's some kind of inside joke to pretend no one saw TBoB.
I was going to type the same thing. She lost it when her, Grogu and Din were thrown from the taxi.
This dude misses so much lol
I hope Din and Bo return to the Armorer with both of their helmets off like “we’re the first Mandalorians to see a Mythosaur in generations. Freaking fight us.”
Din was probably unconscious at the time. I think the whole point was to have the disbeliever be the one to see it.
Have Din come out of a ship with the dark Saber on the back of a Mythosaur then take his helmet off and be like I am the mandalor.
If anything thats gunna make him even more zealous- could even turn bo katan it looked like
I think it's going to take something really big to undo his indoctrination. At some point I really would like to see him shake off their superstitions. Maybe he can convince the others not to be that way.
“There is only one way, the way of the mand’alore.
I am the mand’alore now, so my way is the way”
*proceeds to remove helmet
For me it was when she said her father died to protect Mandalore and he stops in his tracks, takes a moment, and says “This is the way.” Complete respect for the fallen. Love it
I assumed that Dinn simply stepped off a steep drop in the water, and that before Mandalore was destroyed, the water was shallow, but the bombing made the floor collapse, waking the Mythosaur , much as the Zillo beast was awakened in The Clone Wars.
exactly, the steps were broken away. Unless the Mythosaur grabbed him, swam t the bottom, swam 2 thirds of the way back, past Bo-katan and stopped for a nap without her seeing?
@@jsnsk101 right, so why would the mythasaur not attach her?
If Din just fell off, he would have fell down straight, vertically. For Bo-katan to reach him, she was diving at a downward slope, jot straight down (which she would have if din simply fell directly down from where he was standing). There is no way Din would have drifted that far from where he was standing to where he ended up if he just sank.
@@Matt-zq8cz he may have drifted while falling just like a skydiver can shift where they are going with just body placement.
@Chris Fox He could if he took the form of a diving position the entire way down instead of falling like a pencil like we're given the impression of. I think the writers intended to leave the impression that Mando was dragged down by the Mythosaur. Despite the lack of water disturbance that we'd expect. But Din also didn't attempt to use him grapple as he was falling so it's not as if they focus on every "little" detail
Seeing Bo-katan wield the dark saber with ease was lit too
Was the best part I was like damn she swings that like nothing lol
She beat the cyborg dude who beat Din. It's her sword now,
@@veteran17865 Is it though? A bit like Harry Potter and the Elder Wand...
@@veteran17865 That's what I thought too, and wondered why it didn't come up since Din was shown in S2 as eager to pass it to her, and would have probably jumped on the occasion to do so legitimately.
No, it was stupid, why the hell can she wield it so easy but the guy who's show she's in, CAN'T? Once again, Disney shows that they have learned nothing from She-Hulk.
Grogu turns on his pod light just like how Din turned on his helmet light. Showing that he is not only listening to Din's teaching, but also watching him and learning from his actions.
I love that kid!
great observation
Like father like son I also thought he was gonna murk that flying creature for trying to kill him earlier to show her how powerful he was in the ways of the force
Or, it was dark and the light helps to see better
We see something like this also, din is coming up on mandoalore and he tells yoda “ we have to know mapping so we don’t get lost” then we see grogu guide bo katan threw the mines, she even says “your going to have to take mt to him”
I don't think Din was "pulled down" in the water... I think the water was so dark and he wasn't focused. He stepped off that "last step" and the weight of his remaining gear sank him like a rock. 😝
If you actually go back to episode one when the space alligator was attacking the baptism ceremony, you could see the Mandalorians going into the water to save those who have fallen into the water on their backs even though the water was shallow. Implying that the armor was too heavy for them to get up on their own.
1) you are probably right, as he says in the next episode he hast seen anything alive
2) pulled down, can still mean pulled down by weicht
Bo Katan and Din don't exactly have the best relationship, but she doesn't hesitate for a second to dive in after him. You don't just dive headfirst into pitch black water to save someone you hate, so I'll be really interested to see how their relationship develops.
Why did din just walk into the water? Did he assume that it wasn’t deep. I would’ve checked instinctively. Was kinda funny that he just fell in
@@jann326 I thought the same thing lmao. It didn’t seem like the moment was for laughs but when he just fully disappears I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
@@jann326 I think he thought it was just symbolic. He also assumed that nothing was *living* in the *living* waters, so...
Then again, "living water" is a Jewish phrase that means rivers, seas, or waters sourced there from; it lives in that it flows, not that there are things living in it. A mikveh (a Jewish baptism, basically) must be done with living water or water taken from living waters.
@@jann326 Because it's what he currently believes it's what he wants. His primary focus is in his grasp at that moment. A LOT of people hyper focus at those moments. Notice Bo-Katan told him to wait as she read the placard, but he stared at the water and kept walking towards it. He is entranced by his goal of getting back in with his people.
I’m calling it din and Bo get married….
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.
what if the not removing of helmet is not really that important??
@@mohammedmaqdoom4410 I've always said that
The cynic within me says that not removing the helmet is a neat way of keeping Disney's options open should they decide to recast the part.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 if you watched season one and two you will know its pedro pascal as din djarin.
i bet when Din/Bo (or maybe even Grogu) becomes Mandalore they gonna fix that rule lol
the burried dome, the Mythosaur, the cyborg and all the alamites gave me strong vibes of Lord of the Rings and the fellowship going through Moria
Ya he even said " This isnt a mine, its a tomb."
Also as they were entering a hall, I thought if gandalf say "Let me spare a little more light." JUst as i thought that Bo has a flashlight drone fly up
YES! the tomb = it was totally like LOTR + Moria!😎!
I bet Favreau is but I know Filoni loves LOTR. He emphasized that during various SW Rebel's interviews. You can see that in the epic Bendu & Kanan scenes, even The epilogue with Sabine & Ahsoka The (Gandalf) White going to search for Ezra cliffhanger.
I don't know I may be wrong but I sense a brewing connection between Din & Bo. The two of them together could definitely mend the division between the mandalorians if they somehow merge idealologies.
I don't think they'll merge ideologies, but Din definitely showed some common ground that Bo can stand on.
Bo: "my father died defending the planet"
Din: (stops her and looks her dead in the eye) "this _is_ the way!"
Bo: (clearly didn't think about it like that)
19:07 in Star Wars Rebels they say that the weapon known as “the Duchess” doesn’t disintegrate the beskar, instead the weapon super heats the beskar vaporizing the Mandalorian who was wearing the armor.
My favorite part of this episode was Grogu. Specifically his growth as a character, not just his drive to save Din but how he seems to really take being a Mandalorian seriously. He really seems to get pissed when Bo Kattan disses the creed of the watch. I really believe now that when he chose the chainmail over the lightsaber he wasn't just choosing Din, he made a serious decision to walk the way of the Mandalore.
It's also nice that he's beginning to vocalize better instead of just coo & gurgle.
100% that is the way they are going with the series which is something new and cool in the Star Wars universe, at least I have never heard of a Yoda's species as a Mandalorian. It would also be cool now that I think of it is they finally revealed what species Grogu and Yoda are, that entire things presents a huge possibility for deep back story etc. I think everyone has wondered what species Yoda is, and now with Grogu it's even a bigger mystery really.
But I do love that he teaches him as a Mandalorian father would teach his son, and Grogu while using the force, is serious about learning 'The Way', and considering the timing, once again big events seem to happen around Yoda/Grogu's species, in the original series Yoda was tied to the fight against the evil Republic which without Yoda likely would have taken over the galaxy, at least for some time, and now again just as we see possible the rise of the Mandalorians species, and likely the start of seriously bigger events... which Mandalorians will be clearly at the canter of, rise of a great power in the galaxy again.
Fr lmao grogu is a player personified that would play moviebattles 2 as a mandalorian over a sith or jedi class. So based.
lol Grogu needs to do more. Barely any growth since S1
Just wait for the day where he says "Leader Of Mandalore I Am"🤣🤣
I love how tender Din is with Grogu this season. Prior, you could tell he loved him but kept a part of himself at arms length because he knew he was going to have to give Grogu up. But now that’s all gone. When Din told Grogu “it’s Mandalore, the homeworld of our people” my heart melted. ❤ He’s totally in Dad mode. 😭😭
As others have mentioned, Peli lost the tooth during the battle in Bobba Fett and you missed how the oath was interrupted (like with the kid in ep. 1) before we got to the “removing your helmet” part. I think that foreshadows how Din will focus on the important things of the Creed - honor, community and bring some tolerance - instead of the trappings of the religion, which at the end is what never removing your helmet is. It doesn’t serve any practical purpose other than ceremony and division.
And I mentioned tolerance because instead of fighting with each other, Mandalorians will learn to respect how each practices the religion instead of trying to kill each other. I don’t think Din will ever get to a place where he’ll show his face all the time but maybe with those with trusts and love.
not only that but with being on mandalore currently, he may look for or bo will show him a copy of the true creed that was said by the mandalorian people, after all he only knows the creed that he was told as a child, but is that the correct creed or was some added or removed to make it what it is currently for them.
After all the truly important part of their religion is weapons "weapons are my religion".
The purpose of not removing your helmet does serve a purpose, its the same reason people dont know his name; anonymity which helps them survive as a fractured group.
@@deanfirnatine7814 the right quote is “weapons are PART of my religion”. More than weapons, I think being a warrior is a more integral to the religion. Knowing how to handle weapons is just part of being a warrior.
That moulin rouge reference is DEEP. High five deserved.
For the cyborg, I thought it was a B'omarr monk.
Some other video noted that the previous episode "The Apostate" was actually referencing Bo-Katan. She was a non-believer, despite being baptized as a child. I really think what's being missed in all the videos for this episode is that Bo-Katan *willingly* jumped into the living waters in an act of selflessness and came back out baptized as a true believer. She was "born again".
She has been redeemed. This is the way.
@@trom120 you responded to yourself ,, this is the way !
@@dramaroassam5677 yes, yes, I did. This is the way. 😂😂😂
I just love that we're not hyped for a cameo but for a legendary creature!!!!
What's strange is, I don't think Din was pulled under by anything, it was probably just the weight of all the shit he has on and missing a step which sent him down. The Mythosaur just kinda checked them both out and then swam off.
The Mythosaur has probably been hiding and chilling for a long time, finally immerging when the planet became deserted. Didn't the Mandos supposedly extinct them? I don't remember the exact lore.
@@gavingleason650 They were supposedly extinct and then became a legend in Mandalore.
Maybe the Mythosuar was "calling" to Din Djarin???
@Gavin Gleason A lot of species in stuff like star wars are said to be extinct but have at least one left
Yeah, I feel like there was probably a floor there before but it cracked and led to an open cave. Bo was surprised but reacted fast
The cyborg reminded me of the E.M.M.I. from Metroid Dread. It gave me chills.
When Din says, "Without our creed, what are we?" Grugo narrows his eyes at Bo like, "Yeah, you better listen to my dad." It was so great. That was my favorite scene.
Great episode! Silly droids, weird creatures lurking in the background and the foreground, that awesome cyborg thing (which totally reminded me of General Grievous too), Mandalorian weapons and gear, and that epic glimpse of the Mythosaur underwater! It felt very Star Wars, and it felt original and exciting. Well done!
I don’t think Bo cared to check. When Din excitedly tells her that it’s not cursed, she immediately dismisses it saying it doesn’t matter since there’s nothing left. I really think the reason she never checked is because she didn’t want to see the world like that.
Sedaris confirmed that she came up with the idea of her character, Peli Motto, losing a tooth in an interview with Empire. "I just improvised that," she says. "I asked everybody on the set if they had a Tic Tac, and somebody had some mints. I did it just to make the director laugh. I didn't think they'd keep it." Sedaris' improvised sight gag appears in The Book of Boba Fett's final episode, "Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor," when Motto is trying to escape a deadly Scorpenek droid.
Shes one of my favorite characters from the disney star wars shows.
Yup, when the droid flip the cart. She’s riding with Grogu through the city, in the middle of a battle talking about some “Mando! Hey Mando!” LOL
The irony of doing a Star Wars interview with “Empire” is not lost on me lol
"deadly" it didn't kill anyone
Lest we forget if nobody had a tictac on the set of Boba Fett,
in The Mandalorian season 3 Pelli would still have a whole set.
This was one of the best, if not the best episode of the entire series. Thanks for the breakdown.
I think this episode is hinting that Grogu is able to communicate/connect with different life forms and sometimes able to 'encourage' them to act without realising they were stimulated by The Force. It's also possible he can achieve the same effect with non-organic life, such as R4.
It's all subtle things Grogu does during the episode... but they happen a few times, suggesting that it's not coincidence!
He may be a lot more switched on than he has shown before!
We might get to see this season being the teen Grogu years, and then next season the adult Grogu.
Maybe Bo Katan did send probes to the Mandalore, but because of the warped electromagnetic fields, she was unable to operate them remotely because she lost connection so she just assumed that it was still uninhabitable.
Edit: changed Tarre to Pre
Thats it. For sure exactly. Plus she never had a need to return to revisit her trauma from losing her sister and even Pre Viszla (that beheading in thr clone wars is one of the craziest deaths).
@@carrionwithout_me Tarre Vizsla was a Mandalorian Jedi
The one from Clone Wars was Pre Vizsla
She had an entire group of people with her in S2 and they were based out of her castle literally right next door to Mandalore, it's silly that none of them would have verified a fact that she herself believed.
@@andrewshandle I think there was a lot of people who tried to see if Mandalore was liveable or wasn't but all failed
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis how? The droid didn’t need to leave and go into the cave, all they had to do was land the ship and take a reading. A guy in a beat up ship from 2 generations ago and a droid with PTSD figured out that Mandalore had a breathable environment in 2 minutes, you’re telling me Starbuck’s elite Night Owls couldn’t have landed a ship?
Bo DID know that mandalor was fine. Stating as much when she first met Din. I think she was just pouting in season 3. The machine Sabine made didn't dissintigrate the armour. It super heated the armour cooking the person wearing it to the point where they turned to ash. Turning the armour they depended on for life into a weapon of death.
I think thats what theyre hinting towards, that just cause its not poisoned doesnt mean its not cursed. Given the multiple beatings Din took today starting to think she right.
@@Jonny5a Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the beatings that Din took were because, notice how he's always saved by someone? It's trying to prove that he can't re-take Mandalore alone? Just speculation though.
Bo’s story arc and redemption from being essentially a, “Terrorist” in The Clone Wars has been incredibly! This is how you write a strong character and their journey! I do hope she rules in the end. Such a fantastic episode with epic set, background and character design! And WOW! You could have knocked me down with a feather 🪶 when the Mythosaur popped up… though I did guess it was coming, but not that soon! Peak viewing and storytelling! And let’s hope the rumours of a deviation from the sequels are true with the removal of Kry-low’s helmet!
Yeah I don't want to choose sides between Bo Katan and Dinn!
@@staticobjx7232there's a third option. Choose both of them. Just like ancient Rome. Replace the old way of one single ruler, the king, with the new way. Two pro consuls sharing equal power of ruling Rome.
@@shawn092182 I like that idea!
Tatooine is the lifeblood and beginning of the saga we all fell in love. KEEP SHOWING ME MORE OF IT AND THE CULTURES THAT EXIST THERE
I think if anything this would bring Bo and Din closer together, not drive a wedge between them. They are the first pieces of bringing all Mandalorians back together, putting aside their differences, and risking their lives for one another, because of the original creed, not whats happened after.
I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I think it's clear as well that there is less of adversary relationship and more of a warm one. Maybe even a romantic one.
@@mihajlo961x ... the helmet stays on during sex. This is the way.
I too see how Bo looks at Din. She likes him
With the dark saber, grogu (who has a rare jedi trait of connecting with creatures much like Anakin did) and the Mythosaur, i think they could rewrite the Mandolorian Creed and also maybe start a new jedi temple because its hidden from the Empire with the storms and the bad history.
@@LyvlonLP This is the way.
I like Tatooine as a “base of operations.” It’s a familiar place that doesn’t require the time to do backstory. We all know it. It saves time and is an effective quick-launch pad for episodes.
you have way better reviews than anyone else imo, you're the third one I watched, you understood so much more than anyone else. Really good.
After Grogu knocks the Alamite flying as he exits the cave, I love how he looks at his hand the way a gunslinger would look at his smoking weapon. Victory!
11:55 another Easter egg missed: We know EXACTLY when and how Peli lost her tooth. It was on the final battle of The Book of Boba Fett, right after Grogu and Mando got reunited
Today’s Mandalorian and Bad Batch episodes were amazing!! I got so hyped with both endings!
So Crosshair could become a dark trooper, or death trooper I’m guessing
@@jaspinflame670 I reckon the bad batch will return to that cloning base where the Zillo beast is, and hopefully also free Crosshair, as it seems Crosshair is in the same base
Didnt like mando
@@pizzerialavella8599 unpopular opinion icl
@@tinman3605 its just the same shit everytime
The glass-like greenish mineral created by nuclear bombs is called Trinitite (or Alamogordo glass), the first time it was discovered was in the crater of Trinity, the first nuclear bomb test.
I absolutely love the lore of Mandalore and it's culture in the Star Wars universe. Biblical, mythical, honorable... all of these traits just have a taste of posaz that make it rich and interesting. Mandalorian lore is by far my favorite part of Star Wars
14:46 bo-katan knew that the air was breathable, she just didn't want to come back because it felt like a tomb.
Or a painful reminder of her failure, since it was her defiance that led Palpatine to glass the planet.
They talk about fusion bombs, when the US tested the first atom bomb it turned the desert sand into a greenish glass that was called trinitite
What about the Lord of the Rings references!
"This isn't a mine, its a tomb."
As they enter the halls i was thinking "Let me spare a little more light." And then bo katan sent a drone flashlight up to light everything.
Wow! I'm a newbie to the Mandalorian and really haven't viewed anything apart from the immediate Star Wars 'franchise' of movies. This explanation was top notch! I saw, somewhat subconsciously, many of the Easter eggs that were detailed but *so* appreciated how they were tied in with all the references from other Star Wars series. Excellent! Thanks for taking the time to provide all this info for us. (Oh, and Ep. 16 when Din bids farewell to Grogu - must be my favorite ep so far.)
I was really surprised that they went straight to Mandalore. I thought that was going to be something that happened in the 3rd to last episode. It was like in season 2 when they went straight to the seeing rock. I really appreciate that. Also I'm thinking we're going to see Bo Katan and The Armorer fight in the ruins of Mandalore towards the end. Because Din will bring her proof that Mandalore isn't toxic and her and her group will head to Mandalore to see for themselves. Also all the Grogu stuff was amazing this episode.
Yeah I was expecting more side quests first
Bro! Yes! I was amazed that episode 2 he was already at the waters. I’m thinking this season is about to be incredible. Good signs so far!
If Din is truly the current rightful owner of the Darksaber as of the beginning of this episode, I think there’s an argument that Bo Katan can rightfully wield the Darksaber again. The Grievous-esque droid creature defeated Din, and then then Bo defeated it.
Doesn't a formal challenge have to be issued?
@@Heru_Iluvatar I think that’s the big question that we find ourselves asking, and Ryan even sort of alluded to that in this particular video, because there really hasn’t been a clear precedent for that so we don’t really know how the system works.
@@fatherbear_418 Also the droid didn't defeat Din in a fight, he simply fell into its trap.
@@Heru_Iluvatar I suppose that depends on your definition of “defeat”. Without Bo Katan intervening, Din would have died, which counts as a defeat in my book. I don’t completely disagree with you at all, I just think there’s enough ambiguity with how they’ve treated the rules of proper ownership that we can have this conversation with flexibility.
I think the point you brought up earlier is great: should there be formal challenge in order for ownership to transfer? If not, what constitutes as defeat?
Ah yes, a nice loophole. I like it!
I love any scene with Grogu in it. I like that we are slowly seeing him get stronger and stronger, using what he has learned from Master Luke. Never disappointed.
I loved the R5 story. My favourite part. It was a more gentle call back, and the kind I prefer to see going forwards.
My takeaway from chapter 18. Mando who was adopted into the culture has more faith in Madolorian culture and beliefs than Bo Katan.
2. Bo Katan who was born into the culture sees the myths as just that...myths and she is jaded. I think she is astonished that despite everything...Mando has faith. Hers is probably now renewed knowing that the myth is not just a myth.
3. Grogu has an affinity and connects to large misunderstood creatures (the now rediscovered Mythosaur).
On some level those 3 need each other
and also maybe the first Mandalor is also a Jedi/Force Weilder like Tar Visla(Jedi Mandalore and Dark Saber Owner), and now their gonna be another Mandalorian Force Weilder which is Grogu... is Grogu the future Mandalor? maybe lol
Loving thus journey for her. I really like Bo and Din as a duo. I think the dark saber will be destroyed at some point.
I like that a lot better than her scheming some way to defeat Mando all season. Her faith being renewed in the tenants is far more interesting to me.
Yes! I don't get why many keep insisting Bo and Din are going to fight each other - I would say she'll be a reluctant ally and that the true antagonist of the series is Gideon.
Has no one pointed out the look on Bo’s face when Din takes back the dark saber after he’s rescued and then all of a sudden she’s like “actually I’ll show you to the living water!” And perhaps the only reason why she rescued him again at the end was so she can beat him legitimately to properly win back the dark saber. I hope they don’t go in that direction and they do unite everyone.
A terrifying idea about the cyborg thing that crossed my mind briefly was a Sith Technobeast that had been released upon the mines sometime during the past Sith betrayals of Mandalore. Don't think it is, but it's a spooky idea and would be a deeper cut than the Marianas Trench
The cyborg thing personally gave me Kazdan Paratus vibes from the Force Unleashed obviously mixed with Grievous. Really cool creature and character design, I'm hoping we get to learn more about it or it's kind 👀
Bo was so ready to Mando to go to Hell, Then she found out he was in trouble and flew to help him. She didn't think twice. that's love.
I got huge vibes of the Mines of Moria section of LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring. Both end with a mythical horned beast - one in water, one in fire. I suspect this isn't accidental. Also we seem to be headed towards the "Return of the King (or Queen)" of Mandalore!
Ya he literally says "This isn't a mine... its a tomb." !
Rednax42 I know Filoni is a huge LOTR fan.
The long dark of Mandalore.
My thoughts exactly when I saw that scene.
I can’t wait to see a full mythosaur reveal!! The symbolism is super cool, too!!
Did anyone else notice how he left Grogu left his pod behind and Mandalore and then somehow magically had it on Bo's ship?
I assume the pod got into Mando's ship through the hole at the bottom where r5 got out
"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
Thanks for another great review video, I always enjoy these.
I think both Bo and Mando will be welcomed to the clan after the bathing in the mines and seeing the Mythosaur will elevate and unites the clans. Maybe they’ll see it as a sign that a new generation of Mandalore is about to be born with Grogu eventually becoming the leader since he’s a Jedi & Mandalorian
I was going to post, "Doesn't this mean that Bo Katan has been washed of her sins as well" since she went into the Living Waters? Did she take her helmet off after she got out?
I think Grogu will dominate the Mythosaur with the Force. And I am nervious...
I think mando should change the rules with how you can take of ur helmet but you can still be true too the original creed by not removing ur helmet as a respect and trying too keep traditions alive
Was thinking the same thing!
@@xillafade they should change it like they should have their helmets all the time but they could take it off when you are with other Mandalorians
Sabine won the darksaber against Gar Saxon as established in Rebels season 3 episode 16 "Legacy of Mandalore" where her mother does not accept her having earned it until Sabine uses the saber to fight imperial Mandalorian Gar Saxon on the frozen lake next to her family's stronghold.
Still a really stupid workaround.
@@kingtide69 not really
This channel is just amazing. It makes me so happy!
I too loved that crabby cyborg in the mines of mandalore. Such a cool concept for a creature or villain.
I think that grogu is the audience. He’s scared when mando went into the cave and when R-5 went into the cave. Like we were. He went to go save mando like we wanted to. And mando is giving him all these lessons that we are also learning for the first time.
Just a thought
The cyborg reminds me a lot of the design of the scarecrow from Lost in Space.
It reminded me somewhat of the robots that tended in the pods in the Matrix.
Yes! I was like wait a min..that reminds me of another movie but I just couldn’t remember
The cyborg villain of this episode reminded me sooooo much of a character from the Force Unleashed who lived on a scrap planet called Raxus Prime(?). Crazy nostalgia lol
"I have be practicing bass." Oh doug. Why are you such a gem.
That was incredible. 17 & 18 are both 10/10 episodes.
Stop simping for Lucasfilm. This was awful lazy writing. Constant exposition . It’s video game writing.
It is supposed to be like a video game
@@marcbc2081 Reminder : the current topic is a fairy tale universe meant for kids.
The level of writing never was the Star Wars license's strong suit.
Nahh hell nahh
@@pizzerialavella8599 yes its better quality that way
I was convinced that when Bo-Katan was fighting the cyborg scavenger with the Darksaber, she was in fact “winning it in combat”. Technically, the Darksaber has been stolen from Din Djarin, so it's ownership was of that cyborg scavenger. Am I the only one that had this impression?
Whelp... HAHAHHAHAA!
Really great job on the video! Look forward to the next! 🙌
I immediately thought of The Time Machine when I saw the creatures drop down and attack Din!
So badass seeing Bo Katan wielding the dark saber in live-action
Why the hell was so easy for her, Din and Viszla struggled but she wields it like it's a damn stick, typical.
@@theoutlawking9123 She's used it before. And it takes a focused mind of will to properly swing the thing.
She and Moff had no self-doubt that weighed them down.
@@Iwillone Lol, the POWERFUL WOMAN had no such doubt, despite losing it but Din does, so what's your excuse for Viszla, who also struggled with it.
@@theoutlawking9123 Can't say for sure or remember why but the rule still applies.
@@Iwillone That all kinda makes sense. But wasnt she in self exile due to immense self doubt no more than several hours before Din and Grogu left for Mandalore?
We have seen in past seasons that Grogu has a strong connection to animals through the force. He will be the one to tame it and ride it to unite them all.
From your lips to God’s ear!
I am hoping that we will eventually learn that the title is actually referring to Grogu.
This was fun episode. Din entering the waters was pretty cool. Been waiting for that moment.
I would like Grogu to use the force to control the Mythosaur... he's already shown many times how well he can control animals which is a force gift that not all jedi have (Anakin could do it too). It would be neat to see that Bo Katan and Din realize they have not only the dark saber but the mythosaur as well, they can literally rewrite the new Mandolorian Way.... This is the way!
12:58 Peli actually lost that tooth in the Book of Boba Fett. Around the moment where Din and Grogu united she spat it out.

I'm calling it - Grogu has used the force to tame beasts before, he's gonna tame the mythosaur and become the New hero Mandalore! For sure!
"She lost a tooth" in the Book of Boba Fett, when they fall off the rickshaw in the finale.
Right…. She even spit the tooth out!!!
Too much time looking at speeders….he must not be eating well.
Also
It’s not great that we got basically the same episode on two different shows starring the same actor.
That is a defining trait of lazy writing…. and this proves it’s systematic
Hes not Pulled under, the weight of his armor pulls him down to the bottom of the hole as he steps off the ledge of the bottom, and he took off his jet pack, so she had to save him with hers. then they just see the Mithasour on the way back up, it doesnt just touch him and then let him go, that wouldnt make any sense.
Give a heads up next time pls. You spoiled the last of us around 20:30
"That is some great helmet acting"
I love that line
That was the most beautiful way to add the Mytho. It's just peaceful living its life in the depths on a world thought to be dead (like it).
Bad Batch and Mandalorian had fire episodes today.
It's thanks to this channel that I'm able to understand a lot of the references and subtext of this show as well as other shows and movies that you've covered. That said, this episode made me cry because Mandolorian history, while filled with civil war and bloodshed, has moments of beauty and it is well depicted by both Din and Bo' Katan. (Apologies for any misspelling.) Thank you Screencrush staff. This is the way.
Mandalore doesn’t/didn’t actually control a thousand planets, under Satine’s rule they were just the head of an alliance of neutral systems which numbered around a thousand.
I really appreciated Bo Katan’s line about how the Mandalorians were killing each other for “confusing reasons”. Genndy Tartakovski, the Samurai Jack creator also animated a Clone Wars short animated series. You should def see it if you haven’t!
Genndy's Clone Wars is a masterpiece, and, people don't talk about it enough, for sure.
Anime series had some awesome action scenes. Watching Mace Windu cut sick on those battle droids was just brilliant. Recommended!
OMG What an episode. This season is already setting a great great tone. Can't wait to see where it leads. Right before the credits rolled I was literally saying NO NO NO don't be over yet.... don't be over yet.... DAMN IT!!!! lol... so good.
I'm confused. If Crab Guy took the Dark Saber from Din by beating him in a fight, and then Bo Katan took the Dark Saber from Crab Guy and thrashed him, isn't the Dark Saber hers legit now?
The crab man trap din and took his weapons from him when he was trap in the cage
I’m no Mandalorian, but I’d venture to guess that if you rescue the holder of the saber by beating the foe who bested the weilder SHOULD warrant the passage of the saber to the rescuer.
Good point.. This should be the way.
Ryan, thank you so much for the Charlie work reference. That is one of the great unsung jokes of Sunny.
Great Morlock reference from The Time Machine, I was immediately reminded of that
Today's episode was absolutely fucking insane.
Sabine's weapon does not disintegrate beskar, the beskar armor stays intact while the human gets disintegrated.
I seriously love these ScreenCrush easter egg breakdown videos, tbh I don't watch anything else on Mando but these (mostly)
The way she used the dark Saber. Made me feel like she is the rightful ruler.
Mama Bo, papa Din and baby Grogou fighting a Mythical Mandalorian Beast from the history of Mandalore and taking over as a family is something I'm totally behind, plust both Din and Bo have taken the plunge into the waters of mandalore, so technically speaking the only thing between Bo and Din as far as ruling goes is ownership of the dark saber.
And also dave Filoni and Jon Favreau do know how to do star wars and "strong female characters" Ashoka, Bo Katan, Barriss Offee and the likes are proof, they are like all other people badasses but flawed not fucking Rey, let's just say that the Mandalorian and the Bad Batch are giving me Hope star wars is not dead
The future of Star Wars seems to be based on the things for the people who read the comics and books of the EU, a much more Lucas approach than Disney which is great, also a huge universe aspect with the shows movies and even video games tying into in another
Bo Karan also took the creed I don’t think she respects it as much though
I would add Andor to that list too!
Bo clearly likes Din. I see those two uniting both houses through marriage.
They are not going to fight the Mythosaur but rather tame it
No one has talked about how Grogu has seemed to gotten closer to speaking
Peli said "is that his first word" "He said Peli"
The underwater jet pack effect was so cool!
Actually it is probably because din missed a step and just falls because of the weight of the besker, and he didn't have a jetpack to get back up, not because he was pulled under
I think this is the start of a beautiful partnership. Bo needs Din to keep her idealistic, to remind her to have faith. Din needs Bo to stay grounded and realistic. She knows how to rule, and he can unite the clans. And of course, their first born Grogu will be the greatest Jedi Mandalorian ever.
I think Bo likes Din and their union will unite the houses
@@christopherbusch1933 I am on board with this ship and sailing away.
Honestly I don't think they'll become enemies, I feel like this attaches them more
Bo Kataan was also baptized and redeemed by bathing in the waters. Her seeing Din recite the creed and seeing the mythosaur was still alive definitely reignited her mandalorian spirit.
I'm guessing she will decide not to take her helmet off in future episodes, too.
17:41 When I first saw the Alamites I too instantly thought of the Morlocks
this was probably my favorite mando episode yet. story telling was so good, all show and very little tell, love it!
I agree fully with wanting to see more planets but with Peli it makes sense why Din went back. She’s his hook up for parts. So I wasn’t as mad when we visited tattooine again. I just hope it isn’t all the time haha
same, i wasnt bothered seeing her again, after ep 1 i knew/guessed that he would return to Tattooine asking for droid parts from the only mechanic he knows and somewhat trust...
Totally agree, shouldnt keep going back to Tatooine but for Din it makes sense, he knows people there and seems to like it - he can speak to Tuscans who i think in canon are only on tatooine (legends they got around a bit)
@@Jonny5a Yep, it made sense and was fully plausible Not fan service, No foul.
I was fine with that but it made the IG parts pointless waste of time in the last episode. He should have went to her first seeking a droid.
I mean Tattoine in Mandalorian now is kinda like Corruscant/Kamino in Clone Wars
Love it, cant wait for next week
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.
The thing about helm is an extreme view of the creed, not a correct one. It's also noted in this episode how little Din knows of the culture of Mandalorians, like the soup or other aspects. He vaguely knows of the planet, but nothing of the history.
At some point they'll have to sort out the creed, because it's impossible to unify the Mandalorians with the Children of the Watch's belief.
She nows how to weild it,great skill.
Poor Dinn was kinda clumsy,for him it was unwieldy. Perhaps Bo will teach him...
@@daefaron Beyond this, even if they could unify the Mandalorians with the Children of the Watch's belief, it would just doom the Mandalorians to a slow death. After all, the Watch's view on the creed essentially limits the Mandalorians to foundlings (basically children they discovered and adopted) for their cultural survival.
It’s why Grogu will lead eventually. Once the leader dies Mandos go apeshit on each other. Grogu might live for 1000 years.
I like that they mentioned the Luhrmen species that we see in clone wars. They were the monkey like creatures that were tried to be taken out by the Separatists by a new prototype tank, The Defoliator. Awesome episodes! 👍
I love that they paid so much attention to the droid!
doug is the goat my dog always gets excited when he’s on the screen
