Cad Bane makes an appearance in a Darth Maul comic set before Phantom Menace. Because of said appearance, I’d imagine Duros have longer lifespans than humans.
R.I.P. To the 2 best gamorrean guards in star wars, they were very loyal and useful and im upset that boba fett didn't say or mention anything about their deaths. To the 2 gamorrean guards who actually did there job
Aaron: "They killed the gamorreans Eric!" Eric: "If they were fatter they could have done something" Aaron: "What? BOUNCE?" This is why I love these guys
RIP those Gamorrean bros! They stuck around for the whole series! That’s loyalty there! I actually felt kinda sad when they died but my dad literally went “Nah screw them!”
Same! I was really hoping those two somehow survived! Granted I admit after the first episode (when they recuse Boba and Fenix), they didn't do much than guards stuff but still!
I feel like Grogu is so young that if he stayed with the Mando until he died of old age or was killed, he would still be young enough to begin his Jedi training. Assuming someone is available to train him.
I took Boba saying "I don't know if I am cut out for this" to mean "I'm uncomfortable with being smiled at, respected and appreciated". He may have wanted to rule by respecting others, but i don't think he was emotionally prepared to to deal with the weight of being respected BACK by every civilian he passes.
He actually said they are not cut out for this and it's a teaser to letting Cobb run things while he and fennec do other things which sets up season 2 that hopefully we get because cad bane is not dead and could be the lurking force in it.
Boba and Cad having their confrontation makes it even more special to me since they are treating those unfinished Clone Wars season 6 episodes (in which Boba and Cad had their shoot-out and Cad gave Boba's helmet the dent) having happened.
Yea true but I don’t think bane is dead as the Kent’s a camera on him with his chest thing beeping so he could come back he has survived a head shot from boba so u never know
"I'm not a kid anymore.... and you're an old man." When Boba brought that up...and Bane brought up his "final lesson"...I knew it was the end of Bane. He was supposed to have died after teaching Boba that final lesson in the Clone Wars... 25 years ago. So at this point Bane is like 80+ years old... and on his way out. He's a relic of a bygone era in Boba AND Jango's life....and Boba needed to put him in the past.
@@TheLoreSeeker Probably more because of the whole "You can only get so far without a tribe"-thing. Plus... he's probably the least criminal crime-lord ever. And i kinda have to agree, at least to an extent. They tried to make too much of a noble, honorable hero out of him. And not a particularly competent one for the majority of the show, too.
@@shadowcat1606 He's clearly aiming more for "feudal lord" than "crimelord'. Like he wants to control the region and run the place.... but he also wants to do it in a way that will help the community thrive instead of under an oppressive boot like all the ones that failed in the past. Plus... the whole "stronger in numbers" theme makes sense... and he DID beat Bane and his "only care about yourself" ideology. Didn't really work out for Bane in the long run there.
@@shadowcat1606 They actually gave him some kind of character instead of Mr. Standalot in the OT, and gave him limits instead of him being super OP and perfect like everyone wants him to be. And people forgot how that Sarlac Pit and Tuskens pretty much changed his outlook on things, and him lacking competence still makes sense as he is no politician or whatever, just a guy trying to run things better than before.
I saw this on twitter about Cad Bane’s death. “I’ve killed so many Clones over the years. Once you know them, the rest are easy” is what Bane said to Hunter in Bad Batch. Having a clone be the one to kill him, and it being Boba no less, makes it seem all the more poetic in the end. EDIT: People in the replies are mentioning the beeping on his little chest module thing which we don’t really know for sure what it means. Beacon? Malfunction? Attempts at keeping him alive? We don’t know. But for now, I take this as a “Dead until proven otherwise” scenario.
@@thebortthe that and i just noticed in this reaction that the spike on bobas gaffi stick was bent after he stabbed him, which implies to me some type of armor that boba didnt even get thru. you can see it if you pause at 19:18
Once my Dad pointed out that the rancor entrance was like Godzilla. He couldn’t help but think of it as an epic Kaju style fight with that droid. He said it gave him Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla vibes. My Dad is a fan of giant monsters movies so seeing his face of pure joy was magical to me. And when we reached the credits he said “Yep this is a Robert Rodriguez episode alright.” Edit: Also could I forget the rancor climbing up that tower King Kong style.
That moment when Boba and Mando shot a guy off a roof and continued to shoot him like 8 times on the way down. i said "such a Robert Rodriguez moment!"
“We need reinforcements” stuck a chord from my childhood. A classic Battlefront voice line brought into this episode. Such a great finale, and season as a whole. I hope we can get more from Tem and the others in the future…but now it’s time for K E N O B I!!!🔥🔥🔥
I think of Grogu as a walking, living archive of Force knowledge, which explains why so many Jedi masters taught him, and why Sith lords want to capture him so badly to extract the knowledge from him and not just the M-count. Grogu seems to know a lot of Force-related techniques and as his memories become un-suppressed, as he overcomes the trauma of Order 66, he uses them with more confidence and initiative. Take for example his intervention in that Spider Droid. He displayed good timing to intervene (and to rescue Mando, of course). He displayed the mantra of "size doesn't matter" by only needing to take out one part of the Spider Droid. He displayed the knowledge of balance by taking out a key component of the Spider Droid which caused it to fall over. He displayed discretionary action or inaction where he bought time for the Rancor Beast to appear as if he knew that Boba Fett needed to make the kill in front of the population to establish his respect as the Daimyo of Tatooine. In the case of the taming and resting of Rancor Beast using the Force, Grogu understood Boba Fett's relationship with the Rancor Beast so putting it to nap is better than any other means like Force chokes or Force throws. Grogu also understood the distress of the beast. The Rancor Beast went through one hell of its first major public battle with at least two full volleys of Spider Droid blasts, several of the Spider Droid's leg scratches, three douses of flames in this face or mouth, and numerous blaster shots from everyone so Grogu knew the Rancor Beast needed the rest, not more violence. Grogu could be the new living carrier of Force knowledge into new directions. I think Grogu chose to be with Mando because he understood that a travelling life is more conducive to the growth of Force knowledge because there is more exposure to understanding attachments among and between species and their goals, more exposure to test old and new Force techniques, and more exposure to using the Force to reshape important things or paths in people's lives than to meditate in the depths of a jungle as a "Padawan" for years and years on end.
I had the feeling that Luke knew Grogu would still be a kid for longer than the average human could live. That's why he made that comment to Grogu that his life is longer than many lifetimes of most others. He knew Grogu could still be trained later, after Mando passes away, as he'll be a youngling still.
Let’s not forget the line from Luke that Grogu already knows a lot about the force, almost as much as him. Grogu might not remember or had his memory blocked/erased by someone, but once he remembers, that will be something to see!
I don’t think Luke was training him at all. The school looked more like therapy/rehab rather than a school. Luke was just trying to restore Grogu’s mind so he knows who he is. The choice between the Lightsaber and the Chainmail was literally Luke asking Grogu whether he would like to be trained as a Jedi or not since Grogu can’t speak.
Yeh I agree.. my theory is that he knows a fair bit and he just blocks it out due to having bad experiences in the past, 66 and what not. Sorta like cere from jedi fallen order.. sad he didn’t take the lightsaber however, I think Grogu could wield the darksaber at some point, thrawn wins it from mando and then grogu takes it back from thrawn. That would be super cool imo!
@@zalacy_ Personally I don't think Thrawn will appear in The Mandalorian. What I can see happening is Moff Gideon somehow taking it back from Mando, and then Grogu defeating Gideon, thus claiming the darksaber as his own. Although...it would be a little big for him.
@@billystokes3917 yeah sorry I forgot to mention I think thrawn will be the main villain in ahsoka and all the series we have seen will all kind of link together. But that’s very true and something I didn’t think of was how big the darksaber is compared to grogu..
This being Bane's live action debut works so well with him being old. It can explain his slightly different appearance, his slightly different voice, and it's a good explanation for him not to be jumping off buildings with his jet boots and all that. Because he's old, and that works so well with the fact that live action can be a little more limiting
@@Changingtesting that got me thinking about something kinda conflicting. This fight would've been so cool in animation because I feel they would've had the freedom to have some cleaner movements, the draw would've looked lightning fast, and they could've put in a few extra moves that might be harder to do in live action. Plus seeing animated Bane die would've really hit home. But that said, I have nothing wrong with how it turned out.
Not necessarily@Azrael’s Shadow. Given how they framed things, Bane might not be completely dead. That device on his chest was still beeping til they cut away. There's a chance he might come back. And given his history, he's survived worst.
I just don't like the fact that he was left for the last part of the fight just to get "killed". He's such an important character... in bad batch he kicked some serious ass... he could've been used more.
The fact Boba trained his Rancor to not instantly kill it's prey is amazing literally holds the droideka in a chokehold and only rips it's head off when Boba says "Do it"
20:04 Eric that’s EXACTLY what I said when I watched it. Man Rebels was such a big part of my childhood, I didn’t realize Ezra’s connection to animals until that happened and I said “Grogu’s gonna Ezra the Rancor” Edit: Guys I know other people have it, just let me talk about my experience lol
I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one sad about the two Gamorrean’s deaths. They were Boba’s first bodyguards besides Fennec and stayed loyal to both of their masters and to Boba til death. They should’ve lived to see the outcome. Tatooine is finally at peace after so many years and they deserved a peaceful rest of their career as guards. I understand it was necessary for someone on Boba’s side to die otherwise it would be unrealistic, but it’s still really sad to see.
13:31 It's so funny as soon as I saw those droids I swear I recognised them from somewhere and immediately pulled out my New Essential Guide To Droids book which just happened to be right next to me, and sure enough I found their entry.
I had the exact same reaction. I remembered the Annihilator Droids from all the times I would spend reading Wookieepedia instead of studying. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are truly the Gatekeepers of Star Wars.
Grogu doesn’t need a lightsaber, he’s destine to wield the Dark Saber a hundred years from now once he avenges whoever is responsible for killing Din and taking the saber
The Cob Vanth reveal is layered into the episode. Boba Fett "We aren't cut out for this." Fenec "If not us - who?" This is their way to free Boba Fett to continue his honorable arc. Exploring his Mandalorian heritage. Hinted, again, in how he talks to Mando about the creed and how Mando makes the point to stand by him. Just like Boba stands by his friends. This is a remarkably well-laid plan here. Boba Fett isn't going anywhere.
I love how one unfinished clip from Clone Wars has made Boba the only person that feels qualified to be the one who kills Bane. If that clip didn't exist, I really don't think that any of this would have had as much impact as it did
I kinda want Timothy to get his own show. Maybe make him the lead of that Rangers of the New Republic show since Gina Carano is gone. It would be Deadwood/Justified in space.
No. Stop. Even with the stacked cast, Book of Boba Fett was extremely weak. The star wars fan trope of seeing a decent character and saying, "wow they definitely need their own show that's just like _____ but with Star Wars!" is soooo tired at this point
I mean as soon as bane “dies” a light on his chest goes on and we hear a beeping that we didn’t see or hear before maybe it acts as a temporary heart to keep him alive or it sent a message to someone to inform them he’s critically injured we got to remember bane survived a headshot and he prepares for anything as example by keeping his breathing tubes even though everyone belives the Jedi are dead Bane still won’t take the chance
Imagine yourself back in 1983 watching Return of the Jedi. Your friend turns to you, "What if Boba Fett rode a rancor into battle?!". "Dude wtf have you been smoking?"
A lot of folks forget to think like a screenwriter working for a franchise when trying to figure out plots. Takes some of the magic out of it, but fuckin’ of course he was going to pick Mando. lol
@@Scufflegrit Same with fans who think Mando is going to become some ruler living on Mandalor and not keep being a wandering gunman roaming the galaxy with his iconic look and showing up to rescue lesser shows. As long as Mando can randomly walk into other shows, he's one of their most valuable resources
Personally i was almost 100% certain that he was going to choose the chainmail, but i did think it would be some sort of test or something. Not to mention it feels kinda silly that he went to Luke if he was going to end back up with Mando in 2 episodes anyway
@@leynaripley5250 i heard that disney got most of their money from merchandise, i knew they got lots and lots of money from media, entertainment, movies, but it think selling merchandise is one of the huge income for disney
I’m fine with the decision of killing Cad Bane, but they should have introduced him earlier in the season. Introducing him in the second to last episode and then killing him in the finale without really fleshing out his character or his relationship with Boba is just wasted potential.
I think keeping Bane’s relationship with Boba vague was intentional. Clearly Favreau wanted to give the impression that Boba was once a student to Bane’s, particularly to those who have no prior knowledge of Cad Bane. But because they don’t have any established connection outside of an arc from TCW that wasn’t even released besides a couple clips, there’s plenty of room to explore that in future material. Personally, I didn’t mind that Bane’s appearance in this show was quite minimal. It kept him mysterious and threatening
@@josephwantock1993 That's fair, but I 100% disagree. If they had introduced him earlier in the season and built up that rivalry, his death would have been more impactful. I'm kinda tired of these disney plus shows bringing in the bad guys late in the season only to defeat them by the finale. When you have an entire season to tell your story I think it's not an excuse.
I guess nobody remembers that for years the only lore with boba fett was the one from west end games. He was a journeyman protector. Like a type of marshall or lawman. I guess similar to jugde dredd. At the end of this series Boba kind of turns into that. Not a real crime lord but a feudal warlord/ protector.
Guys, thank you! Yours was the first reaction I was able to watch all the way through because your discussion didn't devolve into negative criticism of the show and the finale. I understand that you didn't think it was perfect, but you discussed it. You didn't bitch and criticize. I'm so tired of the negativity. You guys rock and you're the only star wars reaction channel that's keeping my subscription. The rest can f* off.
Man I really didn’t want Cad to die, but like Eric said, if it was gonna be anyone, I’m glad it was Boba. And I’m glad Bane got to do some cool things before going out. This was probably somehow the worst episode for me, but I didn’t dislike it. Just had some weird editing and pacing for me. I am thoroughly satisfied with this show. Can’t wait to see what else we have coming our way. I hope we get more live action Cad Bane in stuff that takes place before this.
I feel like he may have survived, mainly cause right after he gets stabbed something on his chest starts beeping, Maybe a beacon for his droid to get him or a life support kicking in.
@@yoRyann27 Ya, they spent a lot of time letting you see that light and hear the beeping from the suit, so I feel confident they can bring him back if needed
I agree, probably my least favorite of the season, but glad they wrapped it up. I would have liked BDH and DF to direct the season-closing episode, they just bring a better plot line and emotion.
I'm calling him Mod Vanth from now on, haha. Also, is Cad Bane actually dead? The tech on his chest was still beeping, and we've definitely seen characters seemingly die but survive in the end, like with Fennec, Vanth, and Boba himself in the OT...
Something on Cad Bane’s chest was blinking…his suit is made for life support after all😭So I’m holding out hope that he’s alive. Maybe its a beacon for Todo to come and rescue him😂
Can't wait for someone when all these series are done, who's gunna try make one massive supercut film with each scene put in chronological order like they did with revenge of the sith and cw season 7
I'm glad we have that super emotional goodbye with Grogu at the end of Mando 2 just so that he could come back a few months later in a totally different show with the new and astounding ability of... jumping.
There aren't many channels or shows I listen to when it comes to Star Wars, its a short list. These guys are at the top of it. Always a great time watching these dudes.
i loved how the "scorpenek annihilator droids" (legends) had the same movement sounds as ED-209 :D also, how can one join the Rancor Preservation Society? :)
When I first saw the post-credits, I thought the dude in the bacta tank was Palpatine at first because of the black robes and the way they framed the profile, the hair looked similar (until I rewatched it and realized it is Vanth). So it got me thinking, we have shows after ROTJ about Mandalorians, Crime Lords, and Ahsoka, but one of the most fascinating things set after ROTJ is Operation Cinder and the Fall of the Empire and I feel like a series based around the Imps in this time would be awesome
It’s really weird that the whole Tuscan desert power thing did get dropped, everyone was saying oh the women Tuscan didn’t die and they’ll come back stronger, it was just one tribe etc but nope they literally weren’t in it post ep 3 and had no impact in the battle for mos espa lol
@@mostlyimpulsive3462 yeah like you said I think they figured that the affect the Tuskans had on Boba was enough of a factor in the finale for the Tuskans, But I also agree, personally it was so unsatisfactory to not bring some Tuskans back, especially since they specifically did NOT show that specific badass Tuskan's body or staff, suggesting she survived... Whilst I had some problems, still enjoyed having new star wars tho haha
@@seekeroftruth9200 oh yeah I have no doubt they'll show up at some point again, would've liked to have seen the pay off in the finale tho, but yes either way I'll be excited to see what's next ha
Yeah, I was hoping that the Mos Pelgo folks would bring their friendly neighbourhood tusken clan along with them and that there'd be refugees from Boba's clan among them.
Grogu should’ve trained with Luke for years, instead they created this anti attachment bullshit with Luke when he knows attachment isn’t wrong and let a toddler with the potential of yoda make his own decision knowing that one day he will watch Din die possibly making him lose his sanity with insane force potential. This writing was ridiculous
Grogu was trained for a long time possibly a couple of decades. Luke said that he already knows a lot he just doesn’t remember, yet! He could have been trained by multiple Jedi masters, far more than Luke. Luke was trained by by Obi Wan and Yoda for just a little while, he was later trained by force ghosts and old books!
@@gutsssz Grogu probably trained with Luke longer than Luke trained with Yoda. And both Luke and Grogu chose their attachments over training to be a jedi
I wished we got a show that centered around Fennac being an assassin and she gets caught in the crosshairs of Boba Fett(who is tracking her) and a cat and mouse game on a galaxy scale between the legendary bounty hunter and the master assassin ensures.
Eps 1-4 should have been hour-long, with extra scenes to invest us in Garza and the locals, add badly needed dialogue to sus out relationships, hint at Cad Bane, frame how the 3 Gotras exercise control of Mos Espa (instead of the droid just telling us), and nuance these new choices Boba is making
there was a good point that one of the youtubers brought up to be one of the bigger issues with this episode: when Boba Fett flew away to get the rancor: 1. how did they get here so fast? 2. why didnt he bring his ship instead? he could have dealt with the droids and the rest of the pykes more easily.
the demise of cad bane at the hands of boba fett parallels mauls’ demise by the hands of obi wan imo. both cad bane and maul were clinging to the past to justify their grievances with their “enemy”, while both boba and obi wan had grown and matured substantially since their last meetings; their “foes” were slain for closure and not revenge
After Grogu calmed that Rancor down, I whispered to myself: "And now he's gonna eat it!" I recently looked up what Luke's order was like in Legends and I gotta say, I prefer that. Currently Luke's Order seems to be the same as the old order, ideology wise. So I hope that Filoni goes in the direction of declaring the sequels as some sort of "What if?" scenario, so that the creators have more creative freedom with coming Star Wars content.
You should read the Zahn trilogy if you haven't and also Jedi Academy series. It is so much like what you would imagine happened in the post-RoTJ galaxy.
Yeah, the stuff he does with the academy in legends seems much more true to his character. It's ashame all of this has to lead into the sequels honestly. There were so many better directions they could have gone
@@binaldoshi495 i have or well listened to them ( bc low vision sw fan) as well as the comic adaptations, currently looking for the rest of them in audiobook format on an app i have, once i get them all and listen to them, im excited to see what’s in store tbh. :D
Because there was nothing wrong with the old order ideology wise. Luke is a Jedi "like my father before me", and Anakin rejoins Yoda and Obi-Wan after dying because *he* was the problem, not the Jedi.
The end scene reminded me of a little something from Avengers: Cobb Vanth: Gets Modded Freetown Citizens: “You have a metal arm!? That is awesome dude!”
I think there's a chance Cad might still be alive. The small red light on the box on his chest was still blinking and never stopped before cutting to the next scene. If that box monitors his health then there's a chance that he's still alive. At least I think 😅
I find it cool that Filoni and Favreau gave Luke some flaws in this show. Fits the fact that hes still a young man. Luke gave Grogu quite a ridiculous ultimatum. Making a baby choose his path of life (which is many hundred years). Essentialy making the same mistakes as the jedi order regarding Anakin. He sent Grogu alone through the galaxy to return him to Mando. The galaxy is a very dangerous place and this was a clear blunder from Luke putting Grogu in danger. I hope he will get confronted with these choices in the future. Perhaps from a force ghost?
I hope we never see Luke again. The fact that everything about him, even the voice, was fake, is so ridiculous. Recast him with a younger actor, or let him stay away. All this deep fake crap is an insult
Yes to Disney and Mandoverse Luke is as good as dead and will not be seen again. I read something on a Star Wars site the Kennedy want to remove Luke from everything but Ep 4 5 and 6.
I don't know why people keep calling Grogu a baby. He's twice Luke's age. Yes, he looks like a baby, he often acts like a baby, but he's not _actually_ a baby.
Also, why does Cobb need any modifications? He was just shot in the shoulder, and he is *already* healing in the bacta tank. My man is about to wake up with some robo-arm, and vespa up his ass...
Boba used his rocket on the Scorpenek Annihilators but then had his rocket again when he fought Cad Bane. His chance to reload was when he picked up his pet Rancor.... So good... Phenomenal series and a true crescendo for the finale!
My biggest problem doesn't have anything to do with "what Star Wars is", it's that Boba talked a big game a ton early on about being the Daimyo and ruling Mos Espa and whatnot, but we never see him do anything other than collect tribute. If the show gave like 5 minutes of him actually being doing his job and had more extras playing his henchmen, I wouldn't have any serious complaints
They tried to hard to make him an honorable, noble hero-type. There's not much of the ruthless, cold-blooded, morally dubious bounty hunter left in him.
I agree. This show really needed to focus what little time it had. If only the flashbacks were their own movie like they planned. Boba would have more focus on his day-to-day activities.
They actually did. He had audience with the townspeople who had complaints or problems. We see him handle the complaint of the water guy. More than 5 minutes.
When the giant droids came out I went back to the "Terminator" shot from Mandalore and this seemed like a second coming of wiping the Mandalorians out.
I hope they end up doing “Rangers of the New Republic”. They could always follow Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s character Captain Carson Teva as he patrols the Outer Rim while training young pilots.
Grogu jumping in Mando's arms. - Literally the entire Star Wars fanbase: "My heart!" 🥲 Edit: The Star Wars fanbase when seeing Boba ride the Rancor: *"I CRAVE VIOLENCE!"*
@@jonascommero6361 but then again we see he still has the breathing tubes and stuff that he has specifically for when he fights Jedi, even though there everyone thinks they’re all gone. He probably did have a contingency in case he did get got.
After serving 2 crime bosses and Boba those Gamorreans deserved a happy life in retirement with Tatooine now at peace. *R.I.P. they were loyal til death.*
For the great Speeder debate, watch any car chase in Los Angeles on a residential street. It’s slow, they go incredibly slow. You can’t speed around in a chase having to turn corners and avoid pedestrians.
I just have to say, that none of my friends are Star Wars fans, so I'm always watching these shows and movies by myself. I love them and I can enjoy them, but I never truly get as excited as when I watch you guys watching the show. It's like my real feelings for how hype I am come out and it just fills me with so much happiness. So thank you very much for everything you guys do and I can't wait to experience Kenobi with you as well!
First 30 minutes were amazing, so so good. But I think the droids threw off the pacing and it all got really messy. Didn't want Cad to die either, especially after hardly being in it. I think if he was the main antagonist throughout and had killed the Tuskens for the Pykes then it would have been much better. Didn't understand the mods and that weird spin one of them did. Don't know why they all went behind the broken tank instead of flanking or taking higher positions. Direction from Robert Rodriguez seemed all over the place, really disappointing after an insane first 30 minutes of building tension. I don't think Grogu should have appeared on the X-Wing until the end credits as he took away a lot from Boba defending his city. Loved the show and really defended its criticism for not showing Boba lately, but I am disappointed in this ending after such a good start to the episode.
I completely agree I feel disappointed, especially since I’ve been defending this show but the droids felt so badly paced and it screwed with me and pulled me out of the story
Yep 100% agree. I LOVE boba, and have also been defending this show. But this final fight with the two droids, just drug on forever. Didn’t enjoy it at all. At the end of the day, regardless of how old he is, I wanted to see boba the cold blooded killer. And I think we only see that once with cod bane. Wish we saw it more
Also, I don't know if you guys noticed it but the theme changed from just shouting "HEY" to shouting "FETT" and occasionally saying Boba right before the FETT
It feels this whole series was being led by two different producers. The Boba side of the story wasn't going anywhere, hence they threw in Mando content to keep it floating. My feel, as much as I love Boba, he should remain a supporting character.
I would’ve mixed in the plot for the Pike, Mayor, and Cad to get away on a crappy runaway ship chased by Boba’s Slave 1 ship. It would be an aerial duel, with the crash and destruction of the ship and with pike and cad miraculously surviving but crippled just enough for Boba to get his revenge for what he did to the sand people by using his stick to kill both of them. That way, Cad Bane can still demonstrate his superior skills, but it would be understandable if he falters because of his injuries, and Boba would have avenged the death of the sand people by killing what’s left of the Pike leader.
the begining of Mando 3 will be Grogu and Mando returning to Luke to be trained... once Luke sees that the love between the 2 is a strength and not a weakness

R.I.P. To the 2 best gamorrean guards in star wars, they were very loyal and useful and im upset that boba fett didn't say or mention anything about their deaths. To the 2 gamorrean guards who actually did there job
Just because they didn't show it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I'd like to think in season 2 of BOBF or even season 3 Mando we'll see two monuments of them or something in Boba's palace in honour of them.
The whole time I was just thinking it shoulda been the modification gang not the guards why the guards
Bruh they 100% ment their word and they stuck to it. Good homies
meh if any of them had to die, it's the ugly monsters fr 🤷🏼♀️
Aaron: "They killed the gamorreans Eric!"
Eric: "If they were fatter they could have done something"
Aaron: "What? BOUNCE?"
This is why I love these guys
Okay
😂😂😂
“DO A FLIP”
Nothing I like better than a good quick comeback
dO a bACkfLiP
RIP those Gamorrean bros! They stuck around for the whole series! That’s loyalty there! I actually felt kinda sad when they died but my dad literally went “Nah screw them!”
Same! I was really hoping those two somehow survived! Granted I admit after the first episode (when they recuse Boba and Fenix), they didn't do much than guards stuff but still!
Same, rip the bros-
They were so loyal to the end.
Not gonna lie, i would have taken the Gamorreans surviving over the mods.
Real talk: they wouldn’t get poked off a cliff; they would tank spear stabbing and go out like Beric Dondarion… BUT you’re watching Disney channel
I feel like Grogu is so young that if he stayed with the Mando until he died of old age or was killed, he would still be young enough to begin his Jedi training. Assuming someone is available to train him.
I mean srsly, that dude can outlive mando in ten lifetimes
Absolutely
Hmmm... I wonder if there is someone ~25 years after this that is starting a new Order and learning from the mistakes of Jedi past.
As a Mandalorian he could always get the darksaber.
As much as people will whine about it, Rey is probably the answer
I took Boba saying "I don't know if I am cut out for this" to mean "I'm uncomfortable with being smiled at, respected and appreciated". He may have wanted to rule by respecting others, but i don't think he was emotionally prepared to to deal with the weight of being respected BACK by every civilian he passes.
"Sorry, hes's not used to positive feedback."
@@kyleshape8645 I understood that reference
He actually said they are not cut out for this and it's a teaser to letting Cobb run things while he and fennec do other things which sets up season 2 that hopefully we get because cad bane is not dead and could be the lurking force in it.
I think you are trying to put a spin on what is in reality just a bad show with a bad ending
Boba and Cad having their confrontation makes it even more special to me since they are treating those unfinished Clone Wars season 6 episodes (in which Boba and Cad had their shoot-out and Cad gave Boba's helmet the dent) having happened.
even though denting beskar doesnt make sense anymore lol
Yea true but I don’t think bane is dead as the Kent’s a camera on him with his chest thing beeping so he could come back he has survived a head shot from boba so u never know
@@gilgameshkingofheroes1319 maybe, but I'm fine if he is dead. He had a good run and honestly, I don't think there's a better way for him to go out
Well, does this imply now that it did actually happen? Some of their talk seemed very suggestive
@@jneumy566 yes indeed.
"I'm not a kid anymore.... and you're an old man."
When Boba brought that up...and Bane brought up his "final lesson"...I knew it was the end of Bane.
He was supposed to have died after teaching Boba that final lesson in the Clone Wars... 25 years ago. So at this point Bane is like 80+ years old... and on his way out. He's a relic of a bygone era in Boba AND Jango's life....and Boba needed to put him in the past.
That is so dumb Cad bane was right ,Boba went SOFT , Fennec at least has some balls, i hope a red saber cuts Boba Fett down one day
@@yeager8342 Its dumb and he's soft... because he killed Bane instead of sparing Bane?
Your logic is.... questionable.
@@TheLoreSeeker Probably more because of the whole "You can only get so far without a tribe"-thing. Plus... he's probably the least criminal crime-lord ever. And i kinda have to agree, at least to an extent. They tried to make too much of a noble, honorable hero out of him. And not a particularly competent one for the majority of the show, too.
@@shadowcat1606 He's clearly aiming more for "feudal lord" than "crimelord'.
Like he wants to control the region and run the place.... but he also wants to do it in a way that will help the community thrive instead of under an oppressive boot like all the ones that failed in the past.
Plus... the whole "stronger in numbers" theme makes sense... and he DID beat Bane and his "only care about yourself" ideology. Didn't really work out for Bane in the long run there.
@@shadowcat1606 They actually gave him some kind of character instead of Mr. Standalot in the OT, and gave him limits instead of him being super OP and perfect like everyone wants him to be. And people forgot how that Sarlac Pit and Tuskens pretty much changed his outlook on things, and him lacking competence still makes sense as he is no politician or whatever, just a guy trying to run things better than before.
Grogu hit the Rancor with the "Hey big guy, the twin suns are getting real low..."
Nice, I did get Hulk vibes from that rancor a couple times. lol
I saw this on twitter about Cad Bane’s death.
“I’ve killed so many Clones over the years. Once you know them, the rest are easy” is what Bane said to Hunter in Bad Batch. Having a clone be the one to kill him, and it being Boba no less, makes it seem all the more poetic in the end.
EDIT: People in the replies are mentioning the beeping on his little chest module thing which we don’t really know for sure what it means. Beacon? Malfunction? Attempts at keeping him alive? We don’t know. But for now, I take this as a “Dead until proven otherwise” scenario.
you might even say it.....rhymed....I'll see myself out
@asper I agree, I could see a light continue to blink on his chest piece. Perhaps he lives
@asper we'll see in future series
@@thebortthe that and i just noticed in this reaction that the spike on bobas gaffi stick was bent after he stabbed him, which implies to me some type of armor that boba didnt even get thru. you can see it if you pause at 19:18

Once my Dad pointed out that the rancor entrance was like Godzilla. He couldn’t help but think of it as an epic Kaju style fight with that droid. He said it gave him Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla vibes. My Dad is a fan of giant monsters movies so seeing his face of pure joy was magical to me. And when we reached the credits he said “Yep this is a Robert Rodriguez episode alright.”
Edit: Also could I forget the rancor climbing up that tower King Kong style.
Yeah my first thought was king Kong too lol
I didn’t mind the execution: the conceptual choice was just more Grogu feeding, fodder for little buddy to do cool stuff that Danny Trejo coulda done
That moment when Boba and Mando shot a guy off a roof and continued to shoot him like 8 times on the way down. i said "such a Robert Rodriguez moment!"
@@strider390 "Looked like he had a blast." - my Dad.
Actually those first seconds of the rancor came from the kraken coming out of the sea in 1981' s clash of the titans.
Never did i think I needed to hear boba fett have his own "Do It!" Moment
*Dewit*

“We need reinforcements” stuck a chord from my childhood. A classic Battlefront voice line brought into this episode. Such a great finale, and season as a whole. I hope we can get more from Tem and the others in the future…but now it’s time for K E N O B I!!!🔥🔥🔥
Yep just missing “Destroy the Techno Union Ships”
Haha same, specifically that line really took me right back to OG battlefront

@Your Brethren Demitri fight scenes were lame too.everything about it it phucking awful
When Boba fell off the rancor, it reminded me of the clone trooper death scream.
I think of Grogu as a walking, living archive of Force knowledge, which explains why so many Jedi masters taught him, and why Sith lords want to capture him so badly to extract the knowledge from him and not just the M-count. Grogu seems to know a lot of Force-related techniques and as his memories become un-suppressed, as he overcomes the trauma of Order 66, he uses them with more confidence and initiative.
Take for example his intervention in that Spider Droid. He displayed good timing to intervene (and to rescue Mando, of course). He displayed the mantra of "size doesn't matter" by only needing to take out one part of the Spider Droid. He displayed the knowledge of balance by taking out a key component of the Spider Droid which caused it to fall over. He displayed discretionary action or inaction where he bought time for the Rancor Beast to appear as if he knew that Boba Fett needed to make the kill in front of the population to establish his respect as the Daimyo of Tatooine.
In the case of the taming and resting of Rancor Beast using the Force, Grogu understood Boba Fett's relationship with the Rancor Beast so putting it to nap is better than any other means like Force chokes or Force throws. Grogu also understood the distress of the beast. The Rancor Beast went through one hell of its first major public battle with at least two full volleys of Spider Droid blasts, several of the Spider Droid's leg scratches, three douses of flames in this face or mouth, and numerous blaster shots from everyone so Grogu knew the Rancor Beast needed the rest, not more violence.
Grogu could be the new living carrier of Force knowledge into new directions. I think Grogu chose to be with Mando because he understood that a travelling life is more conducive to the growth of Force knowledge because there is more exposure to understanding attachments among and between species and their goals, more exposure to test old and new Force techniques, and more exposure to using the Force to reshape important things or paths in people's lives than to meditate in the depths of a jungle as a "Padawan" for years and years on end.
Well said . It occurred to me that he’s getting more practice using his abilities with Din than sitting in the jungle .
Oh this is such a great comment, I hope I gets more recognition 👏🏻
Very long detailed comment nice
I mean Luke did say Grogu was just remembering
“if they were fatter they coulda done something”
“what, bounce?” 😂
I had the feeling that Luke knew Grogu would still be a kid for longer than the average human could live. That's why he made that comment to Grogu that his life is longer than many lifetimes of most others. He knew Grogu could still be trained later, after Mando passes away, as he'll be a youngling still.
*R.I.P. to those two unnamed Gamorreans*
After serving two ruthless crime lords they almost lived to see a new peaceful age of Tatooine.
Let’s not forget the line from Luke that Grogu already knows a lot about the force, almost as much as him. Grogu might not remember or had his memory blocked/erased by someone, but once he remembers, that will be something to see!
I don’t think Luke was training him at all. The school looked more like therapy/rehab rather than a school. Luke was just trying to restore Grogu’s mind so he knows who he is. The choice between the Lightsaber and the Chainmail was literally Luke asking Grogu whether he would like to be trained as a Jedi or not since Grogu can’t speak.
Yeh I agree.. my theory is that he knows a fair bit and he just blocks it out due to having bad experiences in the past, 66 and what not. Sorta like cere from jedi fallen order.. sad he didn’t take the lightsaber however, I think Grogu could wield the darksaber at some point, thrawn wins it from mando and then grogu takes it back from thrawn. That would be super cool imo!
@@zalacy_ OMG... Grogu. With the Darksaber. Holy shit.
@@zalacy_ Personally I don't think Thrawn will appear in The Mandalorian. What I can see happening is Moff Gideon somehow taking it back from Mando, and then Grogu defeating Gideon, thus claiming the darksaber as his own. Although...it would be a little big for him.
@@billystokes3917 yeah sorry I forgot to mention I think thrawn will be the main villain in ahsoka and all the series we have seen will all kind of link together. But that’s very true and something I didn’t think of was how big the darksaber is compared to grogu..
This being Bane's live action debut works so well with him being old. It can explain his slightly different appearance, his slightly different voice, and it's a good explanation for him not to be jumping off buildings with his jet boots and all that. Because he's old, and that works so well with the fact that live action can be a little more limiting
Yea I was wondering why he didn’t just rocket boot away from boba when boba was standing over him
@@Changingtesting that got me thinking about something kinda conflicting. This fight would've been so cool in animation because I feel they would've had the freedom to have some cleaner movements, the draw would've looked lightning fast, and they could've put in a few extra moves that might be harder to do in live action. Plus seeing animated Bane die would've really hit home. But that said, I have nothing wrong with how it turned out.
Not necessarily@Azrael’s Shadow. Given how they framed things, Bane might not be completely dead. That device on his chest was still beeping til they cut away. There's a chance he might come back. And given his history, he's survived worst.
I just don't like the fact that he was left for the last part of the fight just to get "killed". He's such an important character... in bad batch he kicked some serious ass... he could've been used more.
@Azrael’s Shadow Not necessarily. Yes, he's old, but he's survived getting shot in the head.
44:24-44:34 and that’s another reason why I love Eric, especially during Star Wars stuff.

I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one sad about the two Gamorrean’s deaths.
They were Boba’s first bodyguards besides Fennec and stayed loyal to both of their masters and to Boba til death. They should’ve lived to see the outcome. Tatooine is finally at peace after so many years and they deserved a peaceful rest of their career as guards. I understand it was necessary for someone on Boba’s side to die otherwise it would be unrealistic, but it’s still really sad to see.
Unfortunately they were the least famous of the core protagonists 😐 Because they weren't gonna kill Santo, Fennec, or the 2 lead bikers
13:31 It's so funny as soon as I saw those droids I swear I recognised them from somewhere and immediately pulled out my New Essential Guide To Droids book which just happened to be right next to me, and sure enough I found their entry.
I had the exact same reaction. I remembered the Annihilator Droids from all the times I would spend reading Wookieepedia instead of studying. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are truly the Gatekeepers of Star Wars.
It reminded me of the Umbaran spider tanks from the Clone Wars
That zoom in on the Rancor shirt was nice!!

The Cob Vanth reveal is layered into the episode.
Boba Fett "We aren't cut out for this."
Fenec "If not us - who?"
This is their way to free Boba Fett to continue his honorable arc. Exploring his Mandalorian heritage. Hinted, again, in how he talks to Mando about the creed and how Mando makes the point to stand by him. Just like Boba stands by his friends. This is a remarkably well-laid plan here. Boba Fett isn't going anywhere.
Boba Fett: Those droids will destroy the city!
Also Boba: Cause much more destruction with his Rancor..
🤦♂️
It was out of desperation
In a war it is all about minimizing the collateral damage. It is impossible to prevent it completely.
It’s like Kinect Star Wars!
With the aim that those droids had, i don't think the city was in much danger.
I love how one unfinished clip from Clone Wars has made Boba the only person that feels qualified to be the one who kills Bane. If that clip didn't exist, I really don't think that any of this would have had as much impact as it did
It has put Cad Bane on the same level as Darth Maul, really bad ass characters that's destined to be killed by equally bad ass characters
I kinda want Timothy to get his own show. Maybe make him the lead of that Rangers of the New Republic show since Gina Carano is gone. It would be Deadwood/Justified in space.

@@bradythurman8772 Yes that would be great.
Justified in space.... yes please!
Tim was really good in justified, and more or less played the same role here, so having more of him is always great, even more so the continuous role
No. Stop. Even with the stacked cast, Book of Boba Fett was extremely weak. The star wars fan trope of seeing a decent character and saying, "wow they definitely need their own show that's just like _____ but with Star Wars!" is soooo tired at this point
I mean as soon as bane “dies” a light on his chest goes on and we hear a beeping that we didn’t see or hear before maybe it acts as a temporary heart to keep him alive or it sent a message to someone to inform them he’s critically injured we got to remember bane survived a headshot and he prepares for anything as example by keeping his breathing tubes even though everyone belives the Jedi are dead Bane still won’t take the chance
Todo, maybe?
the little droid thats always with him maybe
Imagine yourself back in 1983 watching Return of the Jedi. Your friend turns to you, "What if Boba Fett rode a rancor into battle?!". "Dude wtf have you been smoking?"
Interesting how many Star Wars fans still thought Grogu would choose the lightsaber, considering we already know the future from the latest trilogy.
Not to mention Grogu = merchandise holy grail. No way they're giving that up
A lot of folks forget to think like a screenwriter working for a franchise when trying to figure out plots.
Takes some of the magic out of it, but fuckin’ of course he was going to pick Mando. lol
@@Scufflegrit Same with fans who think Mando is going to become some ruler living on Mandalor and not keep being a wandering gunman roaming the galaxy with his iconic look and showing up to rescue lesser shows. As long as Mando can randomly walk into other shows, he's one of their most valuable resources
Personally i was almost 100% certain that he was going to choose the chainmail, but i did think it would be some sort of test or something. Not to mention it feels kinda silly that he went to Luke if he was going to end back up with Mando in 2 episodes anyway

🦖-“Here Dad!”
Boba-“🔫🔫”
🦖-”My turn… 👄💥🤤”
I’m fine with the decision of killing Cad Bane, but they should have introduced him earlier in the season. Introducing him in the second to last episode and then killing him in the finale without really fleshing out his character or his relationship with Boba is just wasted potential.
I think keeping Bane’s relationship with Boba vague was intentional. Clearly Favreau wanted to give the impression that Boba was once a student to Bane’s, particularly to those who have no prior knowledge of Cad Bane. But because they don’t have any established connection outside of an arc from TCW that wasn’t even released besides a couple clips, there’s plenty of room to explore that in future material. Personally, I didn’t mind that Bane’s appearance in this show was quite minimal. It kept him mysterious and threatening
@@josephwantock1993 That's fair, but I 100% disagree. If they had introduced him earlier in the season and built up that rivalry, his death would have been more impactful. I'm kinda tired of these disney plus shows bringing in the bad guys late in the season only to defeat them by the finale. When you have an entire season to tell your story I think it's not an excuse.
I guess nobody remembers that for years the only lore with boba fett was the one from west end games. He was a journeyman protector. Like a type of marshall or lawman. I guess similar to jugde dredd. At the end of this series Boba kind of turns into that. Not a real crime lord but a feudal warlord/ protector.
Guys, thank you! Yours was the first reaction I was able to watch all the way through because your discussion didn't devolve into negative criticism of the show and the finale. I understand that you didn't think it was perfect, but you discussed it. You didn't bitch and criticize. I'm so tired of the negativity. You guys rock and you're the only star wars reaction channel that's keeping my subscription. The rest can f* off.
Man I really didn’t want Cad to die, but like Eric said, if it was gonna be anyone, I’m glad it was Boba. And I’m glad Bane got to do some cool things before going out. This was probably somehow the worst episode for me, but I didn’t dislike it. Just had some weird editing and pacing for me. I am thoroughly satisfied with this show. Can’t wait to see what else we have coming our way. I hope we get more live action Cad Bane in stuff that takes place before this.
I feel like he may have survived, mainly cause right after he gets stabbed something on his chest starts beeping, Maybe a beacon for his droid to get him or a life support kicking in.
He's definitely not dead. The beeping from his suit is most-likely life support or some signal.
@@yoRyann27 Just let him die man, the dude has lived so long. Why we gotta keep every single character alive forever.
@@yoRyann27 Ya, they spent a lot of time letting you see that light and hear the beeping from the suit, so I feel confident they can bring him back if needed
I agree, probably my least favorite of the season, but glad they wrapped it up. I would have liked BDH and DF to direct the season-closing episode, they just bring a better plot line and emotion.
I'm calling him Mod Vanth from now on, haha. Also, is Cad Bane actually dead? The tech on his chest was still beeping, and we've definitely seen characters seemingly die but survive in the end, like with Fennec, Vanth, and Boba himself in the OT...

I do wish Grogu return had happened later. As things are now I feel like Grogu shouldn’t have left in season 2 finale at all.
The storytelling in these shows is clunky (understatement) as hell but I'll take what I can get at this point.
The episode should have ended with Cad Bane in carbonite
Genuinely think when Mando did that downward stab on the droid they were referencing lego star wars with how you break the droideka's shield.

Is amazing to see a scorpenek in live action for the first time
I really liked this episode, although there definitely should’ve been an episode in between 6 & 7.
Eps 1-4 should have been hour-long, with extra scenes to invest us in Garza and the locals, add badly needed dialogue to sus out relationships, hint at Cad Bane, frame how the 3 Gotras exercise control of Mos Espa (instead of the droid just telling us), and nuance these new choices Boba is making
there was a good point that one of the youtubers brought up to be one of the bigger issues with this episode: when Boba Fett flew away to get the rancor: 1. how did they get here so fast? 2. why didnt he bring his ship instead? he could have dealt with the droids and the rest of the pykes more easily.
I love these guys , they have the most authentic reaction because of their Love and knowledge of Star Wars
the demise of cad bane at the hands of boba fett parallels mauls’ demise by the hands of obi wan imo. both cad bane and maul were clinging to the past to justify their grievances with their “enemy”, while both boba and obi wan had grown and matured substantially since their last meetings; their “foes” were slain for closure and not revenge
After Grogu calmed that Rancor down, I whispered to myself: "And now he's gonna eat it!"
I recently looked up what Luke's order was like in Legends and I gotta say, I prefer that. Currently Luke's Order seems to be the same as the old order, ideology wise. So I hope that Filoni goes in the direction of declaring the sequels as some sort of "What if?" scenario, so that the creators have more creative freedom with coming Star Wars content.
You should read the Zahn trilogy if you haven't and also Jedi Academy series. It is so much like what you would imagine happened in the post-RoTJ galaxy.
Yeah, the stuff he does with the academy in legends seems much more true to his character. It's ashame all of this has to lead into the sequels honestly. There were so many better directions they could have gone

Because there was nothing wrong with the old order ideology wise. Luke is a Jedi "like my father before me", and Anakin rejoins Yoda and Obi-Wan after dying because *he* was the problem, not the Jedi.
The end scene reminded me of a little something from Avengers:
Cobb Vanth: Gets Modded
Freetown Citizens: “You have a metal arm!? That is awesome dude!”
I understood that reference!
Grogu: “that arm, I will need”
Tahitooine is a magical place.
If BD came to say hello to Grogu while he was eating, it would have been the definition of cuteness overload
I think there's a chance Cad might still be alive. The small red light on the box on his chest was still blinking and never stopped before cutting to the next scene. If that box monitors his health then there's a chance that he's still alive. At least I think 😅
I find it cool that Filoni and Favreau gave Luke some flaws in this show. Fits the fact that hes still a young man.
Luke gave Grogu quite a ridiculous ultimatum. Making a baby choose his path of life (which is many hundred years). Essentialy making the same mistakes as the jedi order regarding Anakin.
He sent Grogu alone through the galaxy to return him to Mando. The galaxy is a very dangerous place and this was a clear blunder from Luke putting Grogu in danger.
I hope he will get confronted with these choices in the future. Perhaps from a force ghost?
I hope we never see Luke again. The fact that everything about him, even the voice, was fake, is so ridiculous. Recast him with a younger actor, or let him stay away. All this deep fake crap is an insult
Yes to Disney and Mandoverse Luke is as good as dead and will not be seen again. I read something on a Star Wars site the Kennedy want to remove Luke from everything but Ep 4 5 and 6.
@@Billyregin Totally disagree
To be fair to Luke he entrusted grogu with R2 he's quite a capable droid and an very experienced pilot.
I don't know why people keep calling Grogu a baby. He's twice Luke's age. Yes, he looks like a baby, he often acts like a baby, but he's not _actually_ a baby.
Also, why does Cobb need any modifications? He was just shot in the shoulder, and he is *already* healing in the bacta tank.
My man is about to wake up with some robo-arm, and vespa up his ass...
Boba loves getting people non consensual body mods.
If Leia can take a shot in the arm so can Cobb.
It’s his shooting arm, could’ve really messed it up so he can’t draw fast enough.
Hit the subclavian artery. He's gonna need a new right arm. I have a feeling he's going to take the creed and become Mandalorian in S3.
A Cad Bane shot is way more deadly than a normal shot.
Yeah but Robo Cop
Boba used his rocket on the Scorpenek Annihilators but then had his rocket again when he fought Cad Bane. His chance to reload was when he picked up his pet Rancor.... So good... Phenomenal series and a true crescendo for the finale!
Grogu at the new Jedi academy would constantly be like, "actually at the temple we did it this way."
Animal friendship is one of those Jedi abilities that comes in clutch in very specific scenarios.
My biggest problem doesn't have anything to do with "what Star Wars is", it's that Boba talked a big game a ton early on about being the Daimyo and ruling Mos Espa and whatnot, but we never see him do anything other than collect tribute. If the show gave like 5 minutes of him actually being doing his job and had more extras playing his henchmen, I wouldn't have any serious complaints
Yeah a lot of the things regarding him becoming "crime boss" felt a little off.
They tried to hard to make him an honorable, noble hero-type. There's not much of the ruthless, cold-blooded, morally dubious bounty hunter left in him.
I agree. This show really needed to focus what little time it had. If only the flashbacks were their own movie like they planned. Boba would have more focus on his day-to-day activities.
They actually did. He had audience with the townspeople who had complaints or problems. We see him handle the complaint of the water guy. More than 5 minutes.
I have been waiting for this. 😍😍
I loved this episode, fright, suspense, laughter and heart warming scenes.
Mando & Grogu are back - together 💕
It’s amazing to see what happens when you actually take proper care of a rancor and not just starve it
When the giant droids came out I went back to the "Terminator" shot from Mandalore and this seemed like a second coming of wiping the Mandalorians out.
I hope they end up doing “Rangers of the New Republic”. They could always follow Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s character Captain Carson Teva as he patrols the Outer Rim while training young pilots.
Last time we heard about it they said some of it could be incorporated it into The Mandalorian season 3, but it hasn't been confirmed by Disney afaik
14:52 Clan Mudhorn is whole again 🥺🤗.
14:36 reunite
16:38 grogu force
18:35 draw
19:37 ball
20:06 calm beast
21:31 wanna go fast
Grogu jumping in Mando's arms. - Literally the entire Star Wars fanbase: "My heart!" 🥲
Edit: The Star Wars fanbase when seeing Boba ride the Rancor: *"I CRAVE VIOLENCE!"*
Is Cad really dead though? The red light on his chest was still beeping and you could actually hear it. They must've done that for a reason.
As far as we know I don’t think Bane had any life support systems. It could’ve just been a piece of tech on his vest like Boba has.
@@jonascommero6361 but then again we see he still has the breathing tubes and stuff that he has specifically for when he fights Jedi, even though there everyone thinks they’re all gone. He probably did have a contingency in case he did get got.
"Portable High Ground" is how I will be referring to jetpacks from this moment forward.
After serving 2 crime bosses and Boba those Gamorreans deserved a happy life in retirement with Tatooine now at peace.
*R.I.P. they were loyal til death.*
For the great Speeder debate, watch any car chase in Los Angeles on a residential street. It’s slow, they go incredibly slow. You can’t speed around in a chase having to turn corners and avoid pedestrians.
I just have to say, that none of my friends are Star Wars fans, so I'm always watching these shows and movies by myself. I love them and I can enjoy them, but I never truly get as excited as when I watch you guys watching the show. It's like my real feelings for how hype I am come out and it just fills me with so much happiness. So thank you very much for everything you guys do and I can't wait to experience Kenobi with you as well!
I am 100% ready for a stealth action game with Fenec Shand
First 30 minutes were amazing, so so good.
But I think the droids threw off the pacing and it all got really messy. Didn't want Cad to die either, especially after hardly being in it. I think if he was the main antagonist throughout and had killed the Tuskens for the Pykes then it would have been much better. Didn't understand the mods and that weird spin one of them did. Don't know why they all went behind the broken tank instead of flanking or taking higher positions.
Direction from Robert Rodriguez seemed all over the place, really disappointing after an insane first 30 minutes of building tension. I don't think Grogu should have appeared on the X-Wing until the end credits as he took away a lot from Boba defending his city. Loved the show and really defended its criticism for not showing Boba lately, but I am disappointed in this ending after such a good start to the episode.
I completely agree I feel disappointed, especially since I’ve been defending this show but the droids felt so badly paced and it screwed with me and pulled me out of the story
Yep 100% agree. I LOVE boba, and have also been defending this show. But this final fight with the two droids, just drug on forever. Didn’t enjoy it at all. At the end of the day, regardless of how old he is, I wanted to see boba the cold blooded killer. And I think we only see that once with cod bane. Wish we saw it more
@@clintsummers3578 100% agree, I’ve spent ages defending the show throughout its duration but that really ruined parts of it for me.
People hate on this episode but I really loved it.
Also, I don't know if you guys noticed it but the theme changed from just shouting "HEY" to shouting "FETT" and occasionally saying Boba right before the FETT
Cobb Vanth doing work around Freetown and Mos Pelago Territories, like a Star Wars version of 'Justified'?
I need an 8 episode series of Cobb Vanth just being a Sheriff
Haha Eric pumping his chest out. Subtle hint! Thanks again for a great series. See ya on the next one guys.
It feels this whole series was being led by two different producers. The Boba side of the story wasn't going anywhere, hence they threw in Mando content to keep it floating. My feel, as much as I love Boba, he should remain a supporting character.
I would’ve mixed in the plot for the Pike, Mayor, and Cad to get away on a crappy runaway ship chased by Boba’s Slave 1 ship. It would be an aerial duel, with the crash and destruction of the ship and with pike and cad miraculously surviving but crippled just enough for Boba to get his revenge for what he did to the sand people by using his stick to kill both of them. That way, Cad Bane can still demonstrate his superior skills, but it would be understandable if he falters because of his injuries, and Boba would have avenged the death of the sand people by killing what’s left of the Pike leader.
the begining of Mando 3 will be Grogu and Mando returning to Luke to be trained... once Luke sees that the love between the 2 is a strength and not a weakness
I never knew I needed Rancor Parkour until now! Thanks Calvin! 😁 As always, you guys are the best!!
While the finale may have disappointed me, I love coming to these reactions to see unbridled enthusiasm and love for star wars
We need a ‘Sure’ counter feature. I haven’t watched the reaction but I can tell already it was said about 50 times
