Since Kuiil referenced the Mythosaur early on, I’ve been wanting to see Din tame/ ride that beast. I think Boba Fett’s feat riding the Rancor ( which Din couldn’t) may have foreshadowed Din taming or befriending the beast, wielding the Darksaber. One of Din’s defining characteristics as shown in episode s1-2 is perseverance, though sometimes he needs a little push. I like the dynamic they are setting up with Bo. She could be that push while he helps her regain her belief in her people. So incredibly exciting!!
Boba Fett didn't accomplish an unusual feat in riding the baby rancor. He was gifted the baby Rancor with blinders, so Boba Fett could be the first being it sees. The Rancor accepted Boba as its rider because of the instinct of imprinting on its mother. This baby Mythosaur ... it hasn't been wearing blinders, but it has been living in darkness. And maybe the only reason why Bo-Katan paused in front of it was due to complete shock, but nevertheless she did pause in front of it. Bo-Katan gave the baby Mythosaur a good look at her. She's the first being the baby Mythosaur has seen. Bo-Katan doesn't know it yet, but she's now the baby's Mommy.
@@zazoreal5536 The ones of the myths are like the size of a city or something. So even if that's something of an exaggeration this one still seems pretty small. I think a Mythosaur skull was used as a castle or something like that. Anyway, the similarities between the specific circumstances required to imprint on a baby Rancor and what Bo-Katan inadvertently did with the baby Mythosaur are too much for me to dismiss. I'd go so far as to say that the main reason they included the baby Rancor plotline was to foreshadow this.
Kuiil is in the afterlife right now looking at Din going "Go on. Ride it. I dare you. I have spoken." When they brought up Mythosaurs in the recap, I had a feeling they'd come up in the episode at some point but not like this! I thought it would just be an illustration or something they'd see in the mines. They would touch on its history and significance to the culture and that was it. I was not expecting them to find one living under the ruins of Sundari! What an absolute jawdropper! I cannot wait to see more and the impact it has on both Bo-Katan and Din because I feel like this changes everything for both of them and I hope we get to see the full creature in all its glory. I really want next episode picks up right where this left off. I want to see the stunned expression on her face like in The Rescue. Knowing Din, he's going to come to next episode and be like "What happened? Did I bathe in the waters?" And Bo's just gonna flip her cap about the giant creature in the waters lol
It'll be deeply ironic if this makes Bo-Katan into a "believer" that Din Djarin is destined to reunite Mandalore. And even if she's not truly a "believer", she could see how the Mythosaur's appearance completes a convincing narrative that they could rally Mandalorians behind. It's ironic, because Bo would be using the Mythosaur appearance as part of a narrative that promotes Din Djarin as the leader chosen by destiny ... not realizing that destiny has actually chosen HER to be the Mythosaur rider. The baby Mythosaur imprinted to her, not Din, and she doesn't even know it. But this irony could be a necessary part of her journey ... by sacrificing her own personal ambitions in favor of acting in truly noble selflessness, she learns what is truly needed to lead the Mandalorians forward.
I’m so glad I skipped the recap, I saw it for the first episode and immediately knew they’d bring back IG for at least a moment so I’m glad I skipped this one because it was a huge surprise
@@IsaacKuo not a good story telling if Bo suppose to be new leader again, she ruled mandolore once, ruined and lost it, a failed leader , Din was pulled down by the beast as Bo jump right after him and he was down at the bottom, you cant drowned that fast as it takes her a while to reach him with her jet pack.
@@zeeefaaa9979 Din wasn't pulled down - he simply stepped off into the abyss and fell. Presumably, the imperial bombardment opened up the fissure, or damaged a false floor. Anyway, I don't know what you think is bad story telling about someone who failed and needs to struggle to learn their lessons and become worthy again.
I've got a feeling the Mythosaurs are like the highly intelligent "benevolent old gods" of Mandalore, and not some violent, lesser beast. Mandalore the Great was only able to "tame" one because of his less violent nature when compared to his peers, and what the Mandalorians mistook for Mythosaur extinction was really them going underground because the people had splintered and warred with each other over nothing. There was no one worthy to lead anymore.
Another unusual possibility is that the Mythosaurs simply dug in to hibernate, and their natural life cycle is to slumber underground for thousands of years so food can replenish. This is somewhat similar to the life cycles of certain insects, but on a much larger scale.
I think you might be right. Actually this reminds me a lot of Uncle Iroh in ATLA. It was said he had slayed the last dragon and so they went “extinct” but he lied to protect them and they survived.
I like this idea better than grogu taming it with the Force, which frankly would be boringly predictable. We've seen beasts tamed, beaten, mind controlled, and slain a thousand times before, but the mythosaurs being actual judges of character and demanding a deeper approach than than simple brutishness to get through to them would truly cement their place as a powerful sacred icon to the Mandalorian culture. It would be a true test of character.
What I absolutely loved is how shocked Bo is to see that her supposed “legend” is real. She was probably cursing out of sheer bewilderment to see a Mythosaur in the flesh. Question now is who would tame it, if anyone. One person somewhere else brought up the idea of Grogu taming the Mythosaur with the Force. It’s a really massive stretch, but a pretty fun one. The idea of a child (a Force user from Yoda’s species, nonetheless) surpassing the Mandalorian beast of legend and even posing as a possible challenge to the typical title of “Mandalore” would be quite an interesting mixup to the Mandalorian culture.
I think we just saw Bo-Katan "tame" the baby Mythosaur, although she has no idea. The scene where Bo-Katan is the first being the baby Mythosaur has ever seen is suspiciously similar to the way Boba Fett was the first being the baby Rancor had ever seen. However, Bo-Katan might associate the appearance of the Mythosaur with Din Djarin, seeing as the only reason she was even there was because of Din's quest. I'm guessing Bo will be pretty confused about what it all means in the near term. It could go so many different ways in the next episode!
I think that this is the same Mythosaur that was tamed by the original Madalore and that it will recognize Din as his master, but Din will have to confront it and be “judged” my it to be its true master or not.
@@IsaacKuo that mythosour was absolute huge what makes you believe it was a baby? It was like multiple buildings large, I feel like it’s more ancient than a baby
I feel like the fact the Din still struggled to wield the Dark Saber and then we see Bo wield it without struggle was VERY intentional. I think were headed towards the shared throne idea where Din rides the Mythosaur and Bo wields the Saber EDIT*** I Also think that Bo Diving into the water to save Din was intentional to have her also be "redeemed by bathing in the Living waters"
she held the saber for long so she is experienced with dark saber while din is new, and she lost the saber, the good story telling is that she help din in use of saber as old owner of it
She (and possibly Luke) will train him to use it like Kanan did Sabine in Rebels. That way she's overcoming her superstition and blindness that she needs it to lead
I think an interesting thing about the Darksaber and how Din is the one who seems to struggle the most with it is that it may be much more symbolic than we realize; the Darksaber is a symbol of leadership for the Mandalore, and the weight of it may be just as asymbolic. A character that can wield the Darksaber with ease is likely not going to bear the full burden of leadership, while Din struggles because he would. A great leader would not carelessly wield power, and a weapon that is difficult to use makes one less willing to draw it.
Thanks Alex. I love your reading via Campbell. In that vein, I see a couple of parallelisms. Firstly, the Armorer's new recruit is initiated in a body of water that contains a monster; then Din is 'redeemed' (according to the Armorer's tenet) in a body of water that contains a 'monster'. The Armorer isn't merely keeping a _tradition_ but keeping a warped _myth_ of a tradition (which I would argue warps the tradition), while Din is discovering the truth within the myth upon which the tradition is built (without which it becomes 'fundamentalist' dogma). He represets the redemption not of himself for some personal transgression but The Children (and their inferred lineage) for their collective transgression. Whether or not the Armorer accepts Din (and the _actual_ redemption he represents) will be an inflection-point for both Din (and the audience) and The Children. Secondly, Grogu encounters the Purrgil; then Bo-katan encounters the Mythosaur. (It remains to be seen whether Din _encountered_ the Mythosaur, even though it seems likely he was dragged-under by it - although, if so, why only drag him down and leave him under? - and therefore very definitely had an encounter with it!) The Purrgil are not monsters but 'semi-sentient' ancient aliens who play a mysterious and mythological role in SW lore. Likewise, Mythosaurs, which certainly play a mysterious and mythological role in SW lore, could be more than mere monsters. I am so encouraged that Favreau-Feloni are very firmly in the Lucas tradition of myth-making, and I love that there are SW fans who continue to parse SW 'content' mythologically (for all that industry- and current socio-cultural-analysis have their place). As far as I'm concerned, _this_ is the way ; )
I am not someone who favors legends over canon, nor to I think one is better than the other, I enjoy Star Wars as a whole and I love it when canon decides to do it own thing with its story, rather than take an existing story from legends and having that be the explanation all the time.
Bo taming the mythosaur as a way to prove her worth to herself and her people and din weilding the darksaber to bring in a new era of the children could be cool
Bo and Din pairing together to rule Mandalore. The first, as heiress of a noble house and the second as wielder of the Dark Saber. Kind of a dynastic marriage even though Din is no dynast. I don’t know. Just my two cents.
It's possible for both Din & Bo to rule together as King & Queen of Mandalore with shared leadership in the new age. And Bo can become Grogu's mom as well. I'm intrigued to look forward to that kind of marriage as Din x Bo relationship nurtures
You left out a possibility. Sure Din or Bo could, but Grogu could tame the mythosaur. We saw his ability with the rancor. That could have been meant to show a build towards his abilities in controlling creatures, even larger ones. I could be way out there on this one, but I don't think it is completely out of the question.
I feel like a way this could all go is that Din doesn't neccesarily become the Mandalore rather that he becomes the new leader of his fellow children of the watch replacing the armorer. We could possible see Bo Katan coming in as Mandalore and accepting Din and the watch as a recognized house, like at the end of that arc in rebels.
I feel like Bo-Katan will end up much like the Armorer like a spiritual leader. It's actually a very good idea for a civilization. The Mandalorians want their next armor piece but to get it they must preform a recognized act to get it as a reward. At the same time they get some words of wisdom or a re-affirmation of their commitment to their community.
I just hope they make him king mandalore. That’d be pretty sweet, only because Din is NOT a politician or leader really at all. He’s mostly a lone wanderer who only recently got Grogu as a travel companion. But I think it would be fun to see him in that kind of situation or at least trying to see him fix mandalore as the whole would be an interesting watch because he’s not equipped to do something like that.
My first question for the next episode: Will she even tell Din what she saw? He appeared to still be unconscious as she passed the Mythosaur, so I think that would be an interesting tension-building situation later on if she decides to withhold that information.
I love the symbolism of the Mythosaur still alive in the heart of the planet telling Bo Katan the the spirit of the Mandalorians is still alive in the planet and its people. Just as the planet was revealed not to be poisoned and worthless, now she understands that her people are not worthless.
Bo-Katan is Jin's saviour, she did not hesitate to risk her life for his; I hope she goes on to tame the Mythosaur and finds hope, peace and a WHOLE NEW SERIES.
i think grogu will tame the mythosaur because he's shown having a connection to animals multiple times and it will also give him a purpose besides merchandising
bo ruled once and lost it, watch Rebels, why a failed leader going to do what she was not able to do before, all pointer at this time is on baby yoda to be new mandalore
@@artfact2 not a good story telling if she was not the main character, unless feminism getting into the way, i had no issue with that if Bo was main lead and they are telling her redemption arcs
I'm beginning to feel maybe the ultimate resolve to define what it means to be Mandalorian may mean all of the different practices and belief systems we've seen so far in the live action SW series... Bits of it here and there. If Mandalorians are to be united and thrive, why does it have to be one way or the other. Why not respect all and have their respective "religious groups", for lack of a better term, collectively be Mandalorian? Perhaps the power to unite Mandalorians may be a cumulative effort, and not necessarily resting on the shoulders of just one individual. I really feel Grogu will have a part in taming the Mythosaur. His powers to do so may have been foreshadowed with that rancor in TBOBF. Maybe Bo-Katan will be the one to master and lead with the Dark Saber. She clearly demonstrates she is a natural master of the weapon and I guess the sword agrees or otherwise is one with her.. but, how the hell did she lose it in the first place if she was so good and in-tuned with it?! We need that answered. And, Din may be the one to lead with both of them at his side, or perhaps as a triad of Mandalorian leadership and way of living my moving forward. The series title "The Mandalorian" may not necessarily mean a single person. But, as a group of people. Much like one could say The Jedi or The Sith as a plural term... And, I guess based on the last trilogy sequel, Skywalker may be a new term for a certain group of people in tunes and practicing The Force... Though, the that sub-title definition is still ambiguous and don't think clearly defined. Anyways, my 2 cents on where we may ultimately be headed for The Mandalorian as a series and as that group of people.
I think the scene from mandalorian season 1 with djin riding the blurrgs with commentary from kuiil ( RIP) is a huge premonition for what is currently developing in the series. Everyone seems to rally around djin whether he is upfront or not. He is the natural leader
I like how the design is more original in ‘canon’. Legends looked like an old stop motion movie dinosaur with horns stuck on it. It was charming but I prefer the weirder, unfamiliar looking creature we get.
I think Bo-Katan will mentor Dinn in leadership because Season 3 Episode 2 is her rekindling her faith in the Ancient Mandalorian Traditions that should be practiced with her family under her father's guidance during her childhood. Dinn will likely become the new Mandalore the Ultimate but a more peaceful and honorable leader. Mandalore the Ultimate started as a normal Taung warrior. After claiming the helmet of Mandalore the Indomitable, Mandalore the Ultimate worked to improve his leadership skills. I think Dinn Djarin will become the new Mandalore (Mandalore the Protector is a good title). Bo-Katan and Boba Fett will probably become his ruling advisors who help Dinn how to improve his leadership skill (Bo-Katan teaches Dinn politics while Boba Fett teaches Dinn how to survive treachery). Grogu will also likely grow up to become a Mandalorian.
Grogu will calm the baby Mythosaur, just like he calmed the baby Rancor. But just like the baby Rancor will only let Boba Fett ride it, the baby Mythosaur will only let Bo-Katan ride it.
Imagine if this all builds to a battle between certain characters who could become the leader of Mandalore? Be it characters like Din, Bo, Sabine, Boba and so on and so forth.
I see the story in the way you do too. I also see it as told/presented for a younger audience like my 8 yo son who absolutely loves everything about Mando. Why do you think so many internet/YT commentators are hung up on small plot points/anti Disney rhetoric and looking at this show/storyline from a cynical adult's perspective?
I've got one last wild prediction for the next episode ... Before Din and Bo-Katan fully catch their breath, everything starts rumbling and the top of the Mythosaur pops up in the water. Din, Bo-Katan, and Grogu run away, ultimately getting back to the ship and flying away, with baby duckling Mythosaur following. R5, still monitoring with the ship's sensors, captures footage of the Mythosaur emerging out of the ruins. I don't think this "prediction" will happen, I just think it would be funny because it explains some bigger reason we saw R5 monitoring from the ship.
I really want to see Din become the new king of Mandalore, bringing his people into a new golden age, but I also know it probably won't happen. You guys think Disney would ever give us a glorious ending like that?
I imagine the last Episode of the series will start as usual with the title sequence and then instead of "The Mandalorian" it will read "The Mand'alore", revealing what is going on in the finale. Kind of like in the last Episode of Boba Fett it was revealed that the title song should actually voice out his name.
I had always felt that Kyber crystals should be VERY dense and heavy, like a small black hole dense. Your typical Kyber crystal in a lightsaber would weigh in at hundreds of pounds. This would demand that only the Force would allow you wield a Lightsaber. Too late to retcon though, too many normal people have grabbed Lightsabers and used them.
3 great beasts or lifeforms. The bendu wise and force sensitive, zillo beast recognized the dark side surrounding chancellor palatine. Now the mythasour. What will we learn. Will grogu tame it or communicate telepathically with the force?
With the Mandalorian showing a willingness to introduce new creatures to the mainstream audience (Mythosaur, live-action Space Whales), the Bad Batch careening inexorably toward Mt. Tantiss, Ahsoka on her hunt for Thrawn, and one of them making a background appearance as a sculpture aboard the Chimera in Rebels, we've got to be headed for canon ysalimiri, right?
Hear me out! I just rewatched the clip of grogu taming the rancor and it dawned on me that maybe Grogu is foreshadowed to be the one who will tame the Mythosaur! Is he the one who will lead and unite the Mandalorians? So far, he has the background of being a jedi, now training to be a Mandalorian, making him both a Jedi and a Mandalorian. All he needs now is to wield the darksaber later in season 3 or 4. Thoughts?
i think the plaque Bo read was placed there many many years after Mandalor the Great tamed it, and after the legend had been turned into not-as-true. also i really hope this mythosaur is THE mythosaur
I want to see a conflict develop between Djin and Bo that culminates in an epic battle between the 2 of them (and their supporting forces) for the leadership of Mandalore. Kind of a tragedy drama.
Grogu, Bo Katan and Din Jarin form the strongest structure in nature... a triangle. They are now behaving like a clan of three. Gorgu is the living force representing the first Mandalore, Bo Katan is the skill/ferocity of a Mandalorian warrior and Din Jarin is the heart/soul/spirit of a Mandalorian people.
Maybe they'll find love in one another and rule together! Maybe both will ride/tame the Mythosaur. I remember Bo-Katan saying she wanted to be good at something other than war, so the love between them might just happen!
Others have complained about how there was a Mythosaur *right there* in the very waters young Mandalorians used to be baptised in and nobody ever noticed, but I do wonder if the only reason it's in that part of the waters because Mandalore has been ravaged and there aren't Mandalorians left to drive it to hide deeper.
The lake must have been shallow before, because Bo didn't warn Din about a massive drop. Either there was a false bottom damaged by the Imperial bombardment, or it opened up a fissure, or something like that. Either way, the current location of that Mythosaur is far deeper than whatever depth the lake was when Bo had last been there.
@@IsaacKuo Din was pulled down by the beast , as bo jump right after him, with her jet pack it took her a while to reach, you dont go down that fast in waster even with his armor weight, if writer intent to show drop than its not good. all intent for writer to show him being pulled down at the bottom by the beast under it feat.
@@zeeefaaa9979 How do you even know how fast Bo-Katan was moving, much less Din? In fact, the way they show it, it's even possible that Bo-Katan actually overshot Din before Din sank all the way to the bottom. She was acting in haste, and only realized after some seconds that her helmet light was hindering her rather than helping her find Din. She had to turn it off so she could look for the glow of Din's helmet light.
@@IsaacKuo ok did u watch it clearly? tunnel is inclined at-least 45 degrees, its not straight down , go rewind and rewatch, they clearly shows it when bo was moving at 45 degrees , regardless no one can go down that fast in water, not even big ships, it takes time to get to the bottom, science 101 , she jump within 2-3 sec and Din was no where near the circular opening of water.
@@zeeefaaa9979 No, your take is not even anything anyone thinks. Other than the first few steps, Bo-Katan dives straight down, and returns straight up. As per usual, the cinematography sticks with the 180 degree rule, meaning "left" is toward the entrance while "right" is away. But the Mythosaur is shown to the right of Bo-Katan. If she were climbing at an angle, she should be keeping her light focused to the left, so she can see the "ground" underneath her. She wouldn't have seen the Mythosaur because it would have been behind her.view. No. You're talking nonsense. Bo was going straight down, and then returning straight up.
The problem I personally have with Bo - is her sense of entitlement - she might have been disillusioned and abandoned - but she still had her droids calling her "highness" - the usurper who through poor choices ultimately brought the downfall of her older sister - and yet still believes she should rightfully rule. I do hope the show demonstrates the disparate peoples of Mandalore select a leader because of their deserving (Din or not) - not their right by birth (Bo).
I'm leaning towards Din rising up to lead his people and Bo becoming his right hand...for a while anyway. Pretty sure Bo will teach Din how to wield the Dark Saber and together they'll tame the Mythosaur. Symbols in hand they will then unite their people and take on whatever big bad ends up being the main antagonist. Smart money is on Thrawn. Keep in mind this will probably happen over a couple seasons worth of content and encompass other shows like Ahsoka.
I dinosaur like creature that everyone thought was extinct living under the ground, wonder if there is a weasel with an eye patch down there to who’s played by Simon Pegg?
I think Bo will become Mandalore and lead her people while Din and Grogu will kinda become her right hand men. Raising Grogu as a true Mandalorian rather than a cultist. Either that or they’ll both still be Children of the Watch but Bo will eventually consider them two of her closest allies since she’ll be fighting with them and going on adventures with them when no one else has her back and vice versa. So all three are basically outcasts right now so I feel this is a time they’ll bond and despite being from separate factions, they’ll still kind of secretly promise to back the other up when they need help. So I see Din either keeping the dark saber for some time while Bo lays claims to the throne by taming the mythosaur rather than fighting Din or she gets both. Or hey maybe Grogu tames it.🤷♂️
I think Boba will tame it and then take the Darksaber to lead the Mandalorians and Mandalore into a new golden age like in Legends as Jango would have wanted
They addressed this at the time. Much of the surface was scarred by ages of war between Mandalorian clans. It's the whole reason for Satine's whole pacifist thing, trying to turn the Mandalorian warrior culture into a culture of peace and pacifism to prevent further destruction.
Din has nothing to prove to Boba. Boba Fett was gifted the baby rancor. He didn't "tame" the rancor, he simply accepted ownership and imprint bonded with it. Boba simply was the first being the baby rancor saw. I suspect this is how the original Mandalore The Great "tamed" his Mythosaur. It wasn't by brute strength or The Force, it was the dumb luck of being at a Mythosaur nest and the wrong/right time, and he was the first thing a baby Mythosaur saw. And just like that, Mandalore was the baby Mythosaur's mommy. I'm sure that when Bo-Katan _literally_ followed Din into the water, the last thing she was expecting was that she would emerge from the water a new mommy. And yet...
Din is going to unite the Mandalorians with the dark saber and mythosaur but he will let Bo Katan rule because he doesn't want it. His calling is space adventures with Grogu with Grogu eventually becoming the owner of the dark saber , idk where I'm going with this lol
I think the fact JF said he doesn’t have an end point in sight tells me Din will not rule. A show about him filling sounds boring. Let Bo lead and let Din and Grogu have adventures.
How does Bo wield the darksaber with such ease when Din can barely hold it up? Does it have to do with being worthy of leading mandalore? Some say the darksaber, Din have rejected each other.
My question is why did it take Din to go? They didn't think it was a good idea to go see for themselves? They could have brought the planet back to life a long time ago if they would all work together. I think Baby Yoda will tame that Mythosaur creature I think he will be the new Mando-Jedi and he will be their new leader.
The cliff hunger is WHO will tame the mythosaur? WHO will be the next Mandalor? Din Djarin or Bo-Katan?. I think the dark saber can be owned by Din Djarin and on the other hand Bo-Katan can tame the mythosaur and rule Mandalor. If Din Djarin was the new Mandalor, he would have to stay in the planet ruling it and not going to adventures with Grogu.
My biggest reaction to this is: What the hell could a creature that big possibly be eating in a cave underwater under the surface of a glassed surface? Is it just hibernating?
There seem to be a whole bunch of actively hostile creatures in the ruins, so there's significant amounts of food around in general. And the general appearance of the Mythosaur skull looks more like an elephant or boar ... so likely a herbivore or omnivore that's not very picky about what it eats. It might honestly just slurp up muck.
I really just want a classic tropey hero story of din djarin becoming the reluctant leader, riding a giant monster wielding a magical sword. Can we please just get that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Very much a nod to the Lord of the Ring. We know Dave Filoni has reference it before. Is Bo the 'Return of the King"? I don't see that.
Since Kuiil referenced the Mythosaur early on, I’ve been wanting to see Din tame/ ride that beast. I think Boba Fett’s feat riding the Rancor ( which Din couldn’t) may have foreshadowed Din taming or befriending the beast, wielding the Darksaber.

Do you think there could possibly be more Mythosaurs underground?
I think you might be right. Actually this reminds me a lot of Uncle Iroh in ATLA. It was said he had slayed the last dragon and so they went “extinct” but he lied to protect them and they survived.
What are you smoking?
I like this idea better than grogu taming it with the Force, which frankly would be boringly predictable. We've seen beasts tamed, beaten, mind controlled, and slain a thousand times before, but the mythosaurs being actual judges of character and demanding a deeper approach than than simple brutishness to get through to them would truly cement their place as a powerful sacred icon to the Mandalorian culture. It would be a true test of character.
What I absolutely loved is how shocked Bo is to see that her supposed “legend” is real. She was probably cursing out of sheer bewilderment to see a Mythosaur in the flesh.
Question now is who would tame it, if anyone. One person somewhere else brought up the idea of Grogu taming the Mythosaur with the Force. It’s a really massive stretch, but a pretty fun one. The idea of a child (a Force user from Yoda’s species, nonetheless) surpassing the Mandalorian beast of legend and even posing as a possible challenge to the typical title of “Mandalore” would be quite an interesting mixup to the Mandalorian culture.
She likely realized that there was one when she bathed in those same waters.
I think we just saw Bo-Katan "tame" the baby Mythosaur, although she has no idea. The scene where Bo-Katan is the first being the baby Mythosaur has ever seen is suspiciously similar to the way Boba Fett was the first being the baby Rancor had ever seen.
However, Bo-Katan might associate the appearance of the Mythosaur with Din Djarin, seeing as the only reason she was even there was because of Din's quest. I'm guessing Bo will be pretty confused about what it all means in the near term. It could go so many different ways in the next episode!
I think that this is the same Mythosaur that was tamed by the original Madalore and that it will recognize Din as his master, but Din will have to confront it and be “judged” my it to be its true master or not.
I mean, Grogu is technically a Mandalorian at this point.
@@IsaacKuo that mythosour was absolute huge what makes you believe it was a baby? It was like multiple buildings large, I feel like it’s more ancient than a baby
I feel like the fact the Din still struggled to wield the Dark Saber and then we see Bo wield it without struggle was VERY intentional. I think were headed towards the shared throne idea where Din rides the Mythosaur and Bo wields the Saber
EDIT*** I Also think that Bo Diving into the water to save Din was intentional to have her also be "redeemed by bathing in the Living waters"
she held the saber for long so she is experienced with dark saber while din is new, and she lost the saber, the good story telling is that she help din in use of saber as old owner of it
She (and possibly Luke) will train him to use it like Kanan did Sabine in Rebels. That way she's overcoming her superstition and blindness that she needs it to lead
I love the breakdown you give of the meanings and symbolism. Makes it all the more interesting!
I’m already imagining the epic sight of Din using the darksaber on a mythosaur
That Saber will bounce off. Mythosaur are said to have scales as hard as the highest quality Beskar.
Do you mean “on” as in against the mythosaur, or “on” as in whilst on top of the mythosaur as a mount?
He means mounted on the Mythosaur
Who is din?
@@amarauzirul7152 mando’s real name is Din Djarin
First the Krayt Dragon now the Mythosaur. Awesome big monster fan service for us.
I think an interesting thing about the Darksaber and how Din is the one who seems to struggle the most with it is that it may be much more symbolic than we realize; the Darksaber is a symbol of leadership for the Mandalore, and the weight of it may be just as asymbolic. A character that can wield the Darksaber with ease is likely not going to bear the full burden of leadership, while Din struggles because he would. A great leader would not carelessly wield power, and a weapon that is difficult to use makes one less willing to draw it.
Thanks Alex. I love your reading via Campbell. In that vein, I see a couple of parallelisms.
Firstly, the Armorer's new recruit is initiated in a body of water that contains a monster; then Din is 'redeemed' (according to the Armorer's tenet) in a body of water that contains a 'monster'. The Armorer isn't merely keeping a _tradition_ but keeping a warped _myth_ of a tradition (which I would argue warps the tradition), while Din is discovering the truth within the myth upon which the tradition is built (without which it becomes 'fundamentalist' dogma). He represets the redemption not of himself for some personal transgression but The Children (and their inferred lineage) for their collective transgression. Whether or not the Armorer accepts Din (and the _actual_ redemption he represents) will be an inflection-point for both Din (and the audience) and The Children.
Secondly, Grogu encounters the Purrgil; then Bo-katan encounters the Mythosaur. (It remains to be seen whether Din _encountered_ the Mythosaur, even though it seems likely he was dragged-under by it - although, if so, why only drag him down and leave him under? - and therefore very definitely had an encounter with it!) The Purrgil are not monsters but 'semi-sentient' ancient aliens who play a mysterious and mythological role in SW lore. Likewise, Mythosaurs, which certainly play a mysterious and mythological role in SW lore, could be more than mere monsters.
I am so encouraged that Favreau-Feloni are very firmly in the Lucas tradition of myth-making, and I love that there are SW fans who continue to parse SW 'content' mythologically (for all that industry- and current socio-cultural-analysis have their place). As far as I'm concerned, _this_ is the way ; )
I am not someone who favors legends over canon, nor to I think one is better than the other, I enjoy Star Wars as a whole and I love it when canon decides to do it own thing with its story, rather than take an existing story from legends and having that be the explanation all the time.
Bo taming the mythosaur as a way to prove her worth to herself and her people and din weilding the darksaber to bring in a new era of the children could be cool
Bo and Din pairing together to rule Mandalore. The first, as heiress of a noble house and the second as wielder of the Dark Saber. Kind of a dynastic marriage even though Din is no dynast. I don’t know. Just my two cents.
Sounds a lot like Jon Snow and Daenerys from GoT.
So let's hope Bo isn't Din's aunt.
@@leolegendario1 That was the reference. Kind of. 😁
It's possible for both Din & Bo to rule together as King & Queen of Mandalore with shared leadership in the new age. And Bo can become Grogu's mom as well. I'm intrigued to look forward to that kind of marriage as Din x Bo relationship nurtures
Gonna be *real* awkward considering the age gap between them.
You left out a possibility. Sure Din or Bo could, but Grogu could tame the mythosaur. We saw his ability with the rancor. That could have been meant to show a build towards his abilities in controlling creatures, even larger ones. I could be way out there on this one, but I don't think it is completely out of the question.
It all started with a Mudhorn and ends with a Mythosaur
Though I guess he wasn't really taming the Mudhorn, but still...
I feel like a way this could all go is that Din doesn't neccesarily become the Mandalore rather that he becomes the new leader of his fellow children of the watch replacing the armorer. We could possible see Bo Katan coming in as Mandalore and accepting Din and the watch as a recognized house, like at the end of that arc in rebels.
I love that the musical motif they gave the mythosaur was pulled from the Star Wars Bounty Hunter (2002) theme. Such an amazing deep cut.
I'm getting medieval times vibes. Bo can be the ruler/leader, but her "knight" is Din. Both working together toward a common goal.
I feel like Bo-Katan will end up much like the Armorer like a spiritual leader. It's actually a very good idea for a civilization. The Mandalorians want their next armor piece but to get it they must preform a recognized act to get it as a reward. At the same time they get some words of wisdom or a re-affirmation of their commitment to their community.
I want boba to make an off hand comment about how he was in the running for leader at one point. Be a fun legend's nod
I just hope they make him king mandalore. That’d be pretty sweet, only because Din is NOT a politician or leader really at all. He’s mostly a lone wanderer who only recently got Grogu as a travel companion. But I think it would be fun to see him in that kind of situation or at least trying to see him fix mandalore as the whole would be an interesting watch because he’s not equipped to do something like that.
My first question for the next episode: Will she even tell Din what she saw? He appeared to still be unconscious as she passed the Mythosaur, so I think that would be an interesting tension-building situation later on if she decides to withhold that information.
I love the symbolism of the Mythosaur still alive in the heart of the planet telling Bo Katan the the spirit of the Mandalorians is still alive in the planet and its people. Just as the planet was revealed not to be poisoned and worthless, now she understands that her people are not worthless.
Bo-Katan is Jin's saviour, she did not hesitate to risk her life for his; I hope she goes on to tame the Mythosaur and finds hope, peace and a WHOLE NEW SERIES.
i think grogu will tame the mythosaur because he's shown having a connection to animals multiple times and it will also give him a purpose besides merchandising
Perfect quick video. Good stuff
I'm with you. I have been rooting for Din's rise to unite the Mandalorians, but I would be totally on board with Bo finally succeeding.
bo ruled once and lost it, watch Rebels, why a failed leader going to do what she was not able to do before, all pointer at this time is on baby yoda to be new mandalore
@@zeeefaaa9979 I know, I've watched Rebels, love it.:)
Her having failed once doesn't mean she will again with what she's learned.
@@artfact2 not a good story telling if she was not the main character, unless feminism getting into the way, i had no issue with that if Bo was main lead and they are telling her redemption arcs
All scenes with Din + Bo Katan are very different and cool. But the "monsters" like spiders + lizards + etc are simply RIDICULOUS.
Love how the extinct creatures appear in certain eras. The Zillo beast in Clone Wars and the Mythosaur during the early New Republic.
Love that this mentions Joseph Campbell!
I'm beginning to feel maybe the ultimate resolve to define what it means to be Mandalorian may mean all of the different practices and belief systems we've seen so far in the live action SW series... Bits of it here and there. If Mandalorians are to be united and thrive, why does it have to be one way or the other. Why not respect all and have their respective "religious groups", for lack of a better term, collectively be Mandalorian?
Perhaps the power to unite Mandalorians may be a cumulative effort, and not necessarily resting on the shoulders of just one individual. I really feel Grogu will have a part in taming the Mythosaur. His powers to do so may have been foreshadowed with that rancor in TBOBF.
Maybe Bo-Katan will be the one to master and lead with the Dark Saber. She clearly demonstrates she is a natural master of the weapon and I guess the sword agrees or otherwise is one with her.. but, how the hell did she lose it in the first place if she was so good and in-tuned with it?! We need that answered.
And, Din may be the one to lead with both of them at his side, or perhaps as a triad of Mandalorian leadership and way of living my moving forward.
The series title "The Mandalorian" may not necessarily mean a single person. But, as a group of people. Much like one could say The Jedi or The Sith as a plural term... And, I guess based on the last trilogy sequel, Skywalker may be a new term for a certain group of people in tunes and practicing The Force... Though, the that sub-title definition is still ambiguous and don't think clearly defined. Anyways, my 2 cents on where we may ultimately be headed for The Mandalorian as a series and as that group of people.
I think the scene from mandalorian season 1 with djin riding the blurrgs with commentary from kuiil ( RIP) is a huge premonition for what is currently developing in the series. Everyone seems to rally around djin whether he is upfront or not. He is the natural leader
Just watched chapter 20 really amazing and thank you for the info
I kinda like the idea of Bo-Katan’s journey to earn her right to become the leader of Mandolore
Thank you for this video.
I think this could be a huge misdirection and grogu could end up somehow taming it
I like how the design is more original in ‘canon’. Legends looked like an old stop motion movie dinosaur with horns stuck on it. It was charming but I prefer the weirder, unfamiliar looking creature we get.
I think Bo-Katan will mentor Dinn in leadership because Season 3 Episode 2 is her rekindling her faith in the Ancient Mandalorian Traditions that should be practiced with her family under her father's guidance during her childhood. Dinn will likely become the new Mandalore the Ultimate but a more peaceful and honorable leader. Mandalore the Ultimate started as a normal Taung warrior. After claiming the helmet of Mandalore the Indomitable, Mandalore the Ultimate worked to improve his leadership skills. I think Dinn Djarin will become the new Mandalore (Mandalore the Protector is a good title). Bo-Katan and Boba Fett will probably become his ruling advisors who help Dinn how to improve his leadership skill (Bo-Katan teaches Dinn politics while Boba Fett teaches Dinn how to survive treachery). Grogu will also likely grow up to become a Mandalorian.
Gosh, don't you think we've seen Grogu control other beasts for a reason? 😁
Grogu will calm the baby Mythosaur, just like he calmed the baby Rancor. But just like the baby Rancor will only let Boba Fett ride it, the baby Mythosaur will only let Bo-Katan ride it.
Imagine if this all builds to a battle between certain characters who could become the leader of Mandalore? Be it characters like Din, Bo, Sabine, Boba and so on and so forth.
I see the story in the way you do too. I also see it as told/presented for a younger audience like my 8 yo son who absolutely loves everything about Mando. Why do you think so many internet/YT commentators are hung up on small plot points/anti Disney rhetoric and looking at this show/storyline from a cynical adult's perspective?
I think their both are gonna be come the mandalores.
Thanks for this! I wasn't sure why it was so important to the series.
I've got one last wild prediction for the next episode ... Before Din and Bo-Katan fully catch their breath, everything starts rumbling and the top of the Mythosaur pops up in the water. Din, Bo-Katan, and Grogu run away, ultimately getting back to the ship and flying away, with baby duckling Mythosaur following. R5, still monitoring with the ship's sensors, captures footage of the Mythosaur emerging out of the ruins.
I don't think this "prediction" will happen, I just think it would be funny because it explains some bigger reason we saw R5 monitoring from the ship.
I wonder if they should call it a Truthosaur now.
I really want to see Din become the new king of Mandalore, bringing his people into a new golden age, but I also know it probably won't happen. You guys think Disney would ever give us a glorious ending like that?
I imagine the last Episode of the series will start as usual with the title sequence and then instead of "The Mandalorian" it will read "The Mand'alore", revealing what is going on in the finale. Kind of like in the last Episode of Boba Fett it was revealed that the title song should actually voice out his name.
I had always felt that Kyber crystals should be VERY dense and heavy, like a small black hole dense. Your typical Kyber crystal in a lightsaber would weigh in at hundreds of pounds. This would demand that only the Force would allow you wield a Lightsaber. Too late to retcon though, too many normal people have grabbed Lightsabers and used them.
My only question is HOW the mythosaur was still alive. Is it the last survivor or could there be more?
I bet it's going to be Grogu. I believe the name of the show. "The Mandolorian" is referring to Grogu. Not Din.
The Mythosaur will rise out from the living waters and utter, "This is the way..."
Brilliant commentary
I have a feeling it'll be Grogu that tames the Mythosaur...
I'm really rooting for Bo-Katan to be named Mandalore The Brave after taming the Mythosaur.
she was failed leader, watch Rebel, she is partially responsible of empire attacking Mandalore , so blo od of her people is on her hand
@@zeeefaaa9979 I've watched it all.
To answer you, I quote Master Yoda: "The greatest teacher, failure is.".
@@leolegendario1 so any one who fail and cost millions to lost their life must get 2nd chance to do it again, not good story telling
3 great beasts or lifeforms. The bendu wise and force sensitive, zillo beast recognized the dark side surrounding chancellor palatine. Now the mythasour. What will we learn. Will grogu tame it or communicate telepathically with the force?
With the Mandalorian showing a willingness to introduce new creatures to the mainstream audience (Mythosaur, live-action Space Whales), the Bad Batch careening inexorably toward Mt. Tantiss, Ahsoka on her hunt for Thrawn, and one of them making a background appearance as a sculpture aboard the Chimera in Rebels, we've got to be headed for canon ysalimiri, right?
Hear me out! I just rewatched the clip of grogu taming the rancor and it dawned on me that maybe Grogu is foreshadowed to be the one who will tame the Mythosaur! Is he the one who will lead and unite the Mandalorians? So far, he has the background of being a jedi, now training to be a Mandalorian, making him both a Jedi and a Mandalorian. All he needs now is to wield the darksaber later in season 3 or 4. Thoughts?
i think the plaque Bo read was placed there many many years after Mandalor the Great tamed it, and after the legend had been turned into not-as-true. also i really hope this mythosaur is THE mythosaur
I had no idea that was supposed to be a mythosaur when I watched this
Boba Fett: "I have ride creaturs ten times that size." Grogu: "Well son, I can tame that with the force if you like?" J.
I don't think it's hard to tell, why it's so important.
The Mythosaur might be Bo Katan’s ticket to the throne bypassing the darksaber. Like Mandalore the first did.
I want to see a conflict develop between Djin and Bo that culminates in an epic battle between the 2 of them (and their supporting forces) for the leadership of Mandalore. Kind of a tragedy drama.
Such an amazing episode, I don't know how it will get out the caves like😂😂
Grogu, Bo Katan and Din Jarin form the strongest structure in nature... a triangle. They are now behaving like a clan of three.
Gorgu is the living force representing the first Mandalore, Bo Katan is the skill/ferocity of a Mandalorian warrior and Din Jarin is the heart/soul/spirit of a Mandalorian people.
A Princess, a Clone and a Knowbody walk into a bar. You finish the joke!
For a while I was hoping that the return of the mythosaur meant the return of Boba Fett but this is cool too
Maybe they'll find love in one another and rule together! Maybe both will ride/tame the Mythosaur. I remember Bo-Katan saying she wanted to be good at something other than war, so the love between them might just happen!
Others have complained about how there was a Mythosaur *right there* in the very waters young Mandalorians used to be baptised in and nobody ever noticed, but I do wonder if the only reason it's in that part of the waters because Mandalore has been ravaged and there aren't Mandalorians left to drive it to hide deeper.
The lake must have been shallow before, because Bo didn't warn Din about a massive drop. Either there was a false bottom damaged by the Imperial bombardment, or it opened up a fissure, or something like that. Either way, the current location of that Mythosaur is far deeper than whatever depth the lake was when Bo had last been there.
@@IsaacKuo Din was pulled down by the beast , as bo jump right after him, with her jet pack it took her a while to reach, you dont go down that fast in waster even with his armor weight, if writer intent to show drop than its not good. all intent for writer to show him being pulled down at the bottom by the beast under it feat.
@@zeeefaaa9979 How do you even know how fast Bo-Katan was moving, much less Din? In fact, the way they show it, it's even possible that Bo-Katan actually overshot Din before Din sank all the way to the bottom.
She was acting in haste, and only realized after some seconds that her helmet light was hindering her rather than helping her find Din. She had to turn it off so she could look for the glow of Din's helmet light.
@@IsaacKuo ok did u watch it clearly? tunnel is inclined at-least 45 degrees, its not straight down , go rewind and rewatch, they clearly shows it when bo was moving at 45 degrees , regardless no one can go down that fast in water, not even big ships, it takes time to get to the bottom, science 101 , she jump within 2-3 sec and Din was no where near the circular opening of water.
@@zeeefaaa9979 No, your take is not even anything anyone thinks. Other than the first few steps, Bo-Katan dives straight down, and returns straight up. As per usual, the cinematography sticks with the 180 degree rule, meaning "left" is toward the entrance while "right" is away. But the Mythosaur is shown to the right of Bo-Katan. If she were climbing at an angle, she should be keeping her light focused to the left, so she can see the "ground" underneath her. She wouldn't have seen the Mythosaur because it would have been behind her.view.
No. You're talking nonsense. Bo was going straight down, and then returning straight up.
I look forward to the LEGO mythosaur.
The problem I personally have with Bo - is her sense of entitlement - she might have been disillusioned and abandoned - but she still had her droids calling her "highness" - the usurper who through poor choices ultimately brought the downfall of her older sister - and yet still believes she should rightfully rule. I do hope the show demonstrates the disparate peoples of Mandalore select a leader because of their deserving (Din or not) - not their right by birth (Bo).
I'm leaning towards Din rising up to lead his people and Bo becoming his right hand...for a while anyway.
Pretty sure Bo will teach Din how to wield the Dark Saber and together they'll tame the Mythosaur. Symbols in hand they will then unite their people and take on whatever big bad ends up being the main antagonist. Smart money is on Thrawn.
Keep in mind this will probably happen over a couple seasons worth of content and encompass other shows like Ahsoka.
I dinosaur like creature that everyone thought was extinct living under the ground, wonder if there is a weasel with an eye patch down there to who’s played by Simon Pegg?
Bo Katan pushes a button on the statue and a voice is heard over the speaker:
"Welcome... to Mythosauric Park!"
🎵 Na na na
Na nah🎵
King and Queen of Madalore?!
Boba has proven he can lead and had said he’s ridden beasts 10x size of the rancor. I can only see him riding the Mythosaur.
Wonder how big the lego build will be for it
I think Bo will become Mandalore and lead her people while Din and Grogu will kinda become her right hand men. Raising Grogu as a true Mandalorian rather than a cultist.
Either that or they’ll both still be Children of the Watch but Bo will eventually consider them two of her closest allies since she’ll be fighting with them and going on adventures with them when no one else has her back and vice versa. So all three are basically outcasts right now so I feel this is a time they’ll bond and despite being from separate factions, they’ll still kind of secretly promise to back the other up when they need help.
So I see Din either keeping the dark saber for some time while Bo lays claims to the throne by taming the mythosaur rather than fighting Din or she gets both. Or hey maybe Grogu tames it.🤷♂️
Bro like how did the mandalorians not know that it was down there before hand
I think Bo-Kayan will change and embrace the Mandalorian traditions again... it seems it's going towards that
A lost mine with a monster in it? It's more a Balrog than an dragon. 😏
I have a pretty good idea WHO will tame the mythosaur at the end of the season...
When i saw it , i was Aww strucked 😲😲😲
I think Boba will tame it and then take the Darksaber to lead the Mandalorians and Mandalore into a new golden age like in Legends as Jango would have wanted
Mandalore already looked pretty devastated long before the Empire in The Clone wars
They addressed this at the time. Much of the surface was scarred by ages of war between Mandalorian clans. It's the whole reason for Satine's whole pacifist thing, trying to turn the Mandalorian warrior culture into a culture of peace and pacifism to prevent further destruction.
I vote Grogu for "Mandalore the Renewed". It'd be cute. And that is what Disney Star Wars is all about, isn't it?
Din needs to tame the mythosaur, if for no other reason than to one up Boba and his rancor.
Din has nothing to prove to Boba. Boba Fett was gifted the baby rancor. He didn't "tame" the rancor, he simply accepted ownership and imprint bonded with it. Boba simply was the first being the baby rancor saw.
I suspect this is how the original Mandalore The Great "tamed" his Mythosaur. It wasn't by brute strength or The Force, it was the dumb luck of being at a Mythosaur nest and the wrong/right time, and he was the first thing a baby Mythosaur saw. And just like that, Mandalore was the baby Mythosaur's mommy.
I'm sure that when Bo-Katan _literally_ followed Din into the water, the last thing she was expecting was that she would emerge from the water a new mommy. And yet...
I think the story is much less about Din now and more about Bo Katan
Din is going to unite the Mandalorians with the dark saber and mythosaur but he will let Bo Katan rule because he doesn't want it. His calling is space adventures with Grogu with Grogu eventually becoming the owner of the dark saber , idk where I'm going with this lol
I think the fact JF said he doesn’t have an end point in sight tells me Din will not rule. A show about him filling sounds boring. Let Bo lead and let Din and Grogu have adventures.
Maybe Grogu will calm and ride the Mthosaur. Then Dyn and Bo are Herald's and oversee Mandalore until the new Mand'lore comes of age.
How does Bo wield the darksaber with such ease when Din can barely hold it up?
Does it have to do with being worthy of leading mandalore? Some say the darksaber, Din have rejected each other.
My question is why did it take Din to go? They didn't think it was a good idea to go see for themselves? They could have brought the planet back to life a long time ago if they would all work together. I think Baby Yoda will tame that Mythosaur creature I think he will be the new Mando-Jedi and he will be their new leader.
Your explanation was much better than the actual show. So far this season seems farcical and huge step down from the first season.
The cliff hunger is WHO will tame the mythosaur? WHO will be the next Mandalor? Din Djarin or Bo-Katan?. I think the dark saber can be owned by Din Djarin and on the other hand Bo-Katan can tame the mythosaur and rule Mandalor. If Din Djarin was the new Mandalor, he would have to stay in the planet ruling it and not going to adventures with Grogu.
dark saber was used as symbol by non jedi mandlore , it meant to be use by jedi so most likely baby yoda
My biggest reaction to this is: What the hell could a creature that big possibly be eating in a cave underwater under the surface of a glassed surface? Is it just hibernating?
There seem to be a whole bunch of actively hostile creatures in the ruins, so there's significant amounts of food around in general. And the general appearance of the Mythosaur skull looks more like an elephant or boar ... so likely a herbivore or omnivore that's not very picky about what it eats. It might honestly just slurp up muck.
I really just want a classic tropey hero story of din djarin becoming the reluctant leader, riding a giant monster wielding a magical sword. Can we please just get that.
The appearence of the Mythosaur in the episode was the biggest nerdgasm that i've done
Yeah, the dragon is big. It might be ancient unless there are more of those beast down there.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Very much a nod to the Lord of the Ring. We know Dave Filoni has reference it before. Is Bo the 'Return of the King"? I don't see that.
What if Grogu tamed this mythosaur instead of Din or Bo-Katan? We've already seen him essentially take on a amudhorn and rancor...
