The Mandalorian Episode 2 S3 BREAKDOWN - IT EXISTS!!

- As they walk through the mines, Mando picks up a dusty Mandalorian helmet, when he’s captured by a large cyborg with a general grievous looking organic eye. Super cool concept whoever came up with this and then got it approved did a great job. I loved this, had some old revenge of the sith concept art vibes. He moves like Grievous, and is literally just a brain with one eye, the rest is mecahnical. Whatever this creature is, he has some very high end cybernetics, akin to Grievous’s.
Grogu tries to free mando with the force but fails and so Din tells Baby Yoda to go get Bo Katan. Now some people in the live stream chat were wondering why he didn’t say go get Boba Fett, but I would say because there’s less explanation needed with Bo Katan and the fact that Bo knows Mandalore well.
As Baby Yoda grabs her attention by landing, they head in her ship, the Gauntlet Starfighter.
Landing back on Mandalore, she tells Grogu it didn’t always look like this you know, as they land down and go find Mando, heading deep into the mines. Taking her helmet off as she stares at what has become of Mandalore. She says this once was a beautiful city, and that her family laid claim to it all…now it’s just a tomb. She’s quite aware of her surroundings as she pushes Grogu aside and blasts down some Allamites. We see how proficient she is as a fighter and mandalorian as she makes quick work of them without the dark saber at her side.
Heading into the general grievous 2.0’s lair where mando is being held, she fights him and then summons the dark saber as she ignites it and moves so smooth and swiftly around unlike Din Djarin who wields it like it’s Thor’s heavy hammer and he’s unworthy as heck.
Bo beats the creature twice, once in his grievous form, and then again in his mecha warrior suit. The Dark saber is rumored to be more powerful than a lightsaber blade, but who knows for sure in canon.
She seems inspired or perhaps has a nefarious plan behind this but tells Din she’ll take him to the springs he seeks for atonement. Grogu pfffts which tells me he doesn’t trust Bo, he can probably feel her nefarious feelings perhaps.
She says the empire set out to punish them to wipe away their memory of their glorious planet. Bo says what’s painful is not that the empire destroyed them, but rather the civil wars they endured for centuries, leading to the weakness for the Empire to break them.
Bo admits as a child she went to the springs to play but as her royal family would have her do, she would publicly recite the mandalorian tenets infront of large crowds. Mandalorian people loved to see their princess do so. The Mandalorian tenets, also known as the Resol'nare, are a set of core principles that define what it means to be a Mandalorian. The six tenets include: wearing armor, speaking the language of Mandoa, defending oneself and family, raising children as Mandalorians, contributing to the clan's welfare, and answering the call to action from the Mandalore.
Mando tells her he wishes to have met her father, and that he died defending mandalore. Mando pauses and says this is the way. She realizes how patriotic Mando is, and she seems to like it. I think there’s a bit of a chemistry here perhaps, but a love hate relationship perhaps.
They arrive at the living waters, and it’s a dark dungy looking place now. She reads the plaque and it states that this is the place of the great mythosaur, that mandalore the great was able to tame the mythical beast. It is said that if a mandalorian rides a mythosaur, they control all mandalore and mandalorians. I think it even goes beyond the authority of the dark saber. Personally, I think Mandalore the great is just the new canon version of mandalore the ultimate. Mandalore the Great was an ancient Mandalorian ruler who led the Mandalorians in a series of conflicts against the Jedi Order.
As Din walks into the water and recites his vow as a mandalorian and the creed, Bo looks on in admiration of his loyalty and passion for Mandalorians. She seems like she really respects it, as he recites and walks further, he drops like a sack of bricks in the water all the way to the bottom surface where Bo grabs him and as she blasts back up to the surface with Mando, she passes a GIANT creature, a mythosaur thought to be extinct!
So the Mythosaur still exists. This means rule over Mandalore is still possible if one is to tame the creature, which is exactly what I think Bo Katan will do. She may tame the beast, use it to defeat Din and take the dark saber for herself.
A funny theory is if Grogu uses beast control to tame the beast, making him the leader of Mandalore, or perhaps Din if he tells the Mythosaur to answer to him.

Man I'm so glad this didn't take like five episodes to get to. I was extremely worried we'd get a bunch of side mission episodes first. Such a cool episode, and Grogu was so brave.
@@slayer2296 cuz they aren’t important
@@slayer2296 moff won't appear in the show again, I'm afraid and Thrawn will be left for skeleton crew or Ahsoka series
@@file_boi020 lol Gincarlo Esposito is already confirmed to be back in this season
@@Kxvca yea thats true
@@Kxvca Really? I didn't know that lol. Thanks for the info, buddy.
One of the main reasons Mando sent Grogu to Bo Katan and not Boba is that her castle is located in the same system, so she could quickly come for help.
That’s what I thought
My hypothesis is that grogu knows where Kelvala is, since Din showed him when they approached the planet. He however had no idea how to navigate out of the Mandalore system, so he simply couldn't get to Boba.
yeah, that's 100% the reason no doubt about it.
Who’s grogo
@@kulled7327 little green guy
The Armorer also did mention back in Season 1, that if ever the Mythosaur appears once more, it will herald a new age/era for Mandalore and its people. Not to mention that Kuill told Din that the Mandalorians rode the Mythosaurs while training him to ride bluurgs. Season 1 alone foreshadows this very moment.
Plus the entire episode is basically showing Din taking both a walk and leap of faith. Not only he did have faith on going to Mandalore despite what everyone said, he did have faith in both Grogu and Bo when he is in dire need. This alone shows that he has faith in others just as he did with The Creed.
He also had faith that the next step wasn’t off a cliff to drown lol.
I get the feeling the Dave and John intended for this show to reunite Mandalore while taking pieces from Lone Wolf and Cub (relationship but not the revenge story). I am here for it!
they had this all planned since season 1, like marvel
@@cyurs748 Exactly! They long termed planned of this - Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Ashoka, all the animation. I can't wait to see it all reveal!
It also showed that grogu was slowly learing what din taught him about the map
Bo katan was such a real one this episode. Bitter about her situation and abandoned by her people for not being the wielder of the darksaber but she didn't even blink when it came to saving Din. Flew to mandalore and rescued him twice. The way she dove into that water was badass. She put ego aside and handled business. I'm officially a fan.
I hope din ignites a belife in the way within her I can see her teaching him how to weild the darksaber
Excalty I'm a huge fan of hers now. Got me almost hoping she'll become the leader. Damn I love this. The way she used the Saber her fight scene were amazing. This is must watch more than once imo.
Katie really killed it this episode you could really feel her emotions in her delivery and even several things left unsaid. Well played by both actors.
@@somethingsomethingelse7706 nah, I hope Din abandons that cult shit and creates a new faction where this Madalorian purity-testing doesn't exist.
Yeah I like her character too, she is bitchy about the saber, has attitude and she is cocky, but when things are getting serious, she brings out the noble warrior she swore to be. I like at the previous season she was sooo piss about the saber, and Din was like "I yield", here take it, and she is like..... nah Im not going into a fight for the saber. She follows the rules of ethics and nobility above ego leadership, which means, she wants to lead she wants to put her people together, but under the ethics of the Mandalorian, not for personal gain.
This episode really felt like I was watching an actual Star Wars show, the shots, the transitions, it all really felt a bit more Star Wary than other episodes
The backgrounds looked amazing and the creature effects were all really cool and fresh.
@@DoomofOlympus I'm talking about previous season's episodes you genius
@@DoomofOlympus lmao, you think I'm in the wrong given you're the one that misinterpreted my comment. I very much know the difference between season and episodes, and I won't specify shit cus I don't need to, I was clear enough, if you misunderstood my comment, than that's on you
@@DoomofOlympus Tbf he did say 'previous episodes'. Sincer E2 was only released yesterday there's only one other released this season so far. It's sorta self-explanatory xd.
@@DoomofOlympus yes and like he said it’s kinda self explanatory from the word episodes… meaning plural. There’s only one from this season before this so it’s not hard the connect the dots that he meant last season 😂
I like they are giving grogu a personality in this season (and some parts of bobf), i didn't noticed it until now, but he's been...just...there...existing, but now he's actually learning from mando and puting in practice those teachings, showing affection to mando, interacting more with other characters like bo in this episode, being scared yet so brave, showing actual concern for the droid and mando
I think he also tries to speak
Patu
I thought the same. He's becoming his own character which is great to see.
@@ryanhague9025 Patu
I love how bad ass Bo Katan is portrayed in this episode, as she saves Din not only once but twice. And I love how they showed how deadly she is with the darksaber, in comparison with Din. Kathaleen take notes.
YES I could watch Bo swing the darksaber all day, that was badass
As soon as she drew it I saw how light it was for her, and out loud said “oh yeah she knows how to use it!” In excitement.
not only her dark saber skills were superior, but also without it she took out those alamites much easier than Din did. she definitely has that superior, mandalorian royalty training, that normal mandalorian warriors like din would not be privy to.
@@MehrdadParthian Din got jumped from the back so obviously he had to recover from the body shots he took before he could start swinging
Kk don't take notes just leave starwars along and let Jon and Dave work there magic
There’s multiple things I absolutely loved about this episode. The attitude Grogu gave Bo a few times was hilarious. We get to see just how skilled Bo is. We learn more about Mandalore. And now there’s a Mythosaur alive, so a new age for Mandalorians is beginning. This was a 10/10 to me.
I got misty eyed when he said, “This is the way.” Great moment.
I loved the bubbles that came out of Bo's helmet after she saw the Mythosaur. You could just feel the "OH S**T!" expression on her face. That thing is HUGE too! I knew it was big but I wasn't expecting Godzilla sized.
🤣🤣 I actually said oh shit out loud 🤣
@@michaelwachendorf2096 same here lol
I would be shitting bricks if I saw the mythosaur. 😂 I can’t wait for the next episode.
yeah I would have pooped myself ...
Seeing the city all ruined was sad, but also still seeing how it looks exactly like it did in the clone wars but all ruined was AWESOME.
Really took me back to when we saw how beautiful Sundari was depicted in the Clone Wars. Makes it more real to see how sad Bo looked walking through the now-destroyed city - knowing that it'll never be the same.
I was expecting this episode to happen ways later in the season. Like I expect at least 3 filler episodes of Din looking for the memory circuit before coming to Mandalore. Props to the team for having the balls to play this card this early. Curious to see what they will do next
How was this not a filler episode? Why does everyone think this was the greatest thing star wars has come out w in a while? It was sooooa average
@@nateebanks
In your opinion it may not be that good but it's definitely not filler. The whole plot of this episode is him restoring himself to his clan which was the whole point.
@@nateebanks are you serious or trolling?…
@@MattTheMan22 I’m serious I thought it was an average episode lol. I wasn’t wishing it to keep going. It was just whtvr. Ig I’ll wait for next week but mandalorian season 3 is so overhyped rn as every Star Wars show usually is
@@nateebanks lmao I swear no matter what would happen in a show, people like you would call it filler lmao. You have no clue what filler is
As soon as Bo read that plauge I knew a Mythosaur was going to be in the water. So freaking cool. And I believe Bo's faith was somewhat restored this episode. Seeing Dins commitment to the creed, then seeing the mythosaur, I think she see's a future for mandalore now. Before she thought that future wasn't possible but now she see's it. And I wonder if Dinn will seek guidance from Bo about the darksaber and how to wield it. Cause she does with ease. Effortlessly, looking like a pro. Mabey she helps him get better with it. I don't think she will be the villain this season. I see this season going into Mandalorian lore and history and ultimately bringing the clans and different sects together finally. Long shot considering the history of civil war between them. There were brief periods of peace but not long term. I hope we learn more about the curse, and if there is one. But I hope we see Mandalore and the Mandalorians come together. And rebuild the planet slowly. Under the leadership of Dinn the wielder of the darksaber.
I think that would be awesome, I remember hearing the possibility of Bo being the villain this season and that left a sour taste in my mouth.
I’m keen to see her become more humble and willing to accept/work with Din and help set him up to be a worthy ruler do Mandalore.
I also really think that’d be awesome to see his character grow from a simple bounty hunter to the savior and ruler of his people.
DIn shouldn't keep the Darksaber imo
@@clairemadeinheaven why not? Just curious.
@@repticare101 I did
plaque
The moment Bo talks about her father sacrificing himself for Mandalore, as if she mocks it to be some less than heroic act, as if no mandalorian would do the same. Then Dinn stops, looks at her and with full confidence and 100% sincerity, says “this is the way”
The look on Bo’s face, the look of realization of like… “oh shit… this dude would also lay his life down for his people and society” I fucking LOVED that. She had that look of surprise. Like she wouldn’t make the ultimate sacrifice herself, if it came to it…
She’s realizing that maybe the children of the watch are zealots and true believers of the way, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad thing. They are fully dedicated to the defense of the Mandalorian people and the preservation of the way of the Mandalore, and maybe they are worth hearing out.
She was making that sacrifice the moment she saw grogu and went to SAVE din. Then once she found him she never left his side. Even escorted him to the waters. She could have died multiple times on mandalor along with din So yes. It came to it.
I love how graceful Bo Karan is with the dark saber in comparison to Din’s clumsiness lol
I think Bo Katan is realizing that Din’s faction of Mandalorians have more faith in the Creed and respect for Mandalorian culture than the people she wants to follow her. They only care about following power, while Din’s faction want to follow a true Mandalorian as Mandalore.
Seeing the Mythosaur, I think she realizes that Din is the best chance at reuniting her people under one banner as Mandalore.
I agree 100%, I think in the next episode Bo will take a step back after realizing this and will want to teach Din how to use the darksaber and help him unite the Mandalorians as well. The perfect scene would be when Bo and Din fly to Armorer, Din says he wants to unite their people and Armorer asks if he learn how to wield The Darksaber, then Bo cuts in "I'll teach him", Din asks if she's sure and Bo replies " This is the way", that would be amazing.
The idea that Bo and Din become a couple and will rule together is awesome to, Din with Darksaber, Bo with Mythosaur. In this scenario Grogu will have a Mom, only positives. 😄
She is starting to see that the mandalorians are going to have a great leader in Mando
Yep. Her faith was restored somewhat. I agree. She sees a future for mandalore now we're before she didn't.
I think what was fun was they were both learning from one another, off the back of an uneasy alliance in S2
The "Creed" isn't what makes a Mandalorian, the Resol'nare are. For the Children of the Watch to declare someone not Mandalorian for not following their extremist view holds no weight whatsoever to other Mandalorians. If you follow the Resol'nare and call yourself a Mandalorian, you are one, regardless of what other people think about you.
This is peak Star Wars. Mandalorian has never disappointed me and this Episode was an absolute banger. Favreau and Filoni are brilliant
This is actually my favourite episode of the show so far, full circle time
This not peak never was peak
I like how Bo Katan was being like an aunt to Grogu. it was adorable.
More like a step mother
I love that they're showing her heart. Not just a cold jaded warrior but someone hurt and longing
Peli Motto is the crazy Aunt. While Greef Karga is the cool uncle.
@@alex-ragnarson3482 hope not lol I really don't think her and din is a good match but whatever lol
Mother* 😏
The team REALLY put some amazing efforts into the cinematography this season!
Cinematography is amazing!
This was probably the most emotionally loaded, complex 'this is the way' in the show. I loved it!
It was a great combination of 'I am sorry for your loss', 'He did his duty' and 'I respect your father for what he did'.
I love how on the outside no hates mando at first but when grogu comes to her you see how much she truely cares
Bo*
At that point, she might be thinking about the Dark Saber.
@@varunaeeriyaulla no cause she thought he was there and he has it, the second she realised he isn’t she’s worried
@@samcarey6200 I mean at that point she was thinking more about the dark saber.
@@varunaeeriyaulla I suppose but when she got there, she gave him the dark saber and seemed to admire some of the things he did back there
I love how so far we've seen Din REALLY step up and be a dad to Grogu. Teaching him about flying a star ship, teaching him about the history of "their" people...
Also represented byy Bo referring to Mando as Grogu‘s father when speaking with him
Except for ya know talking him on a walk through dangerville
@@davidbeckbeef This is the way! 🤣 not much different than what real life Spartans did to their kids, in fact I would say Spartans were worse lol
@@loho1125 right!!! Like everyone in the Galaxy knows not to F with that kid 🤣🤣🤣.
I think this was one of the best episodes visually. It was shot very well and everything looked like they spent the money on everything. Very well done
Definitely I was impressed with so many good looking shots in this episode
The Mandalore setting has been teased for so long and it delivered hard. The surface, the city ruins descent, the caves, the cyborg vampire thing, the underwater scene - all looked amazing.
The must have got a budget upgrade this season cause everything is pure quality.
Looked good but laughable plot holes, conveniences & just a general cartoon like narrative.
@@darthfader7414 examples?
Very good episode that didn’t include any filler dialogue. Can’t wait to see what happens with R5, Grogu, and Mando!
And Bo katan
It’s truly fascinating to experience the golden age of Star Wars again, we will appreciate this chapter as long as it lasts. The amount of love that’s gone into character and deep storytelling for the show really gets me excited about Star Wars again. The immersion and deep lore, to exploring Mandalor, seeing Bo Katan, and her story development(absolutely paying tribute to fans), the mythasaur, it’s truly a cinematic journey. I like the direction this part of Star Wars is going. I trust that Favreau and Faloni has Star Wars in the best of hands.
“Golden age” my butt. BOBF was trash and this show’s first episode was trash. And Grogu is only back for toys and not for story. They’re putting merchandise before story. That’s no golden age.
@@disguisedcentennial835 yeah I feel your side man. We’ve been pretty trashed as it was since Disney bought Star Wars. Rogue one was probably the only theatrical hit. I did like rebels, Jedi: fallen order, clone wars, andor, bad batch, force awakens, and parts of last Jedi.
They have a great rich story to them that took me patience and time to appreciate them because of Falonis Magic, Favreaus good interest in fans, JJ Abrams failed ambitions, and Johnson’s stupidity ultimate failure. I’d rather appreciate the simplicity of it all since we’ve also grown up now.
There was a lot of beauty to the good Star Wars experience (I can only speak for my own) as a kid. This Star Wars is not for us anymore, we had ours growing up.
Now it’s time for the new generation, we can only only enjoy the bits and pieces of what we once loved about Star Wars, for me it is the original trilogy, unashamedly the prequel trilogy and the animated/live action spin-offs.
I'm glad that the water beneath the mines thing is done. Now we really don't know where the season is going and I am very excited to see it unfold.
SAME
Absolutely. Loved the way they finished that. So excited
same man ... ngl i was thinking the episode was gonna end when he she said " I will bring you to it" but no it was still going until the amazing scene with the beast! I really hope we see some more Din and Bo Katan in action , these two are badass.
Couldn't agree more! not knowing now where this season is going is REALLY exciting and i cant wait to see where Jon and Dave are going to take it
Grogu was a badass pulling through for his dad like that. He’s gonna be the coolest Mandalorian Jedi
I love how expressive they're making Grogu. He's starting to speak more 😭❤️
Much more he seems getting frustrated about not speaking
"pattu" 😛
I loved how choked up Din sounded when Bo talked about her father making the ultimate sacrifice. Just shows how much it all means to him.
That fight between Bo-Katan and the Cyborg felt like an homage tosome of the boss fights in the Force Unleashed games! Loved seeing Bo wielding the Darksaber!
I thought the cyborg reminded me of the Junkyard Warriors!
dude! the first thing i thought when i saw this character was the force unleashed when you are on Raxus Prime!!!
Bo totally won my heart here I was expecting her to double cross him and take the sword for herself
The fact she jumped directly after him when he got into the water made me think that maybe she sees more in him than "we" know. And I dont mean that she finds him hot (maybe that too) but the fact that he is like a Messiah of Mandalore and he could maybe reunite the people that are split all over the galaxy. Would be a cool thing to see that Bo Katan ,Grogu and Din rebuild Mandalore 😛
She knows the way in which she'd have to acquire that sword to ever derive any sort of respect from owning it, which is through a duel. Her just taking it back to go rule over her people, while Din is unconscious, would be the most cowardly and immoral thing.
She may not have any loyalty to the creed, but trust and believe she knows the ways of the darksaber.
@@noglitznoglam I don't know why they can't just have a non-lethal duel. Mando didn't kill the other guy to take the darksaber.
@@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe But he bested Moff Gideon. You heard in episode 2 how Bo Katan said let's end this once and for all; she was about to go and duel him for it, whether it's to the death or not- a duel is a duel. They haven't duked it out yet, so no darksaber for Bo Katan.
She honestly should’ve. He was disarmed by that thing and she killed that thing, so now she owns the saber
i hope they don’t make Bo a villain. she seemed to start to catch on with Din’s ideology near the end, especially now after seeing the mythosaur. they’d be a great duo
She won’t be
she doesn't believe in the creed because of historical proof of what it did. When you have to exile people to the damn MOON , you know something is wrong with them. The positive side of the Mandalorian culture is rubbing off on her though- Din's love for Mandalore, his persistence in fulfilling his mission, his wearing of the armor at all times and his blunt attitude tempered with affection for Grogu - would be refreshing to her, especially since her forces basically flaked on her quite quickly.
@@SantomPhwell, she was part of the same group that was expelled to Concordia. She was with Visla until Maul killed him and then she “switch sides”. She was part of Death Watch.
She has always been sketchy
Grogu asking for help from Bo-Katan was the bravest thing he’s ever done
Calming the rancor was
@@austinhassler7283 that was cool but this was better only cause we actually see how smart the little guy really is. He can't talk yet but can understand fine and actually can get shit done.
@@jasonvoorhees310 exactly
I wonder if Grogu can do the same with the Mythosaur.
I agree with Bo-Katan about Grogu; small but tuff. This may be the coolest stuff we have seen from Grogu. I wonder what he was like at the temple since he was trained by the greatest masters.
Absolutely love seeing Grogus character development. Seems like he’s come really far from where he started out in season one. He really shined in this episode!
It was so goofy bro 💀
Yeah it's silly.
@@StopDropDash to each their own my guy
He did a lot of grunting
I just geek out so hard when Mando is mentoring grogu on navigation,he's raising him as a mandalorian and teaching him. Grogu the bounty hunter
Great episode!
Bo-Katan had become complacent and cynical about the whole mandalorian culture.
Watching Din taking the whole creed so seriously was almost humorous to her because she saw it divide mandalorians for so long.
She saw all the myths as stories for children and watching Din walk into the water reminded her of how seriously Mandalorians need to take their culture.
Her seeing the mythosoar restored faith in her culture and values in being a mandalorian. She was taken by surprise and shaken up that all the myths were true by seeing the mythosoar, restoring faith in her culture.
I don’t think she was trying to trick Din at all (she could have left him but she dove straight in with no hesitation). She was trying to prove a point that it’s nothing special.
She left realising the myths were true!
It’s all true, all of it.
Very exciting.
Love your content @starwarstheory
Dude love your comment!
The way Mando stood at attention before saying this is the way. Bro that scene was big real big to both. That was freaken amazing
i agree you couldn’t have said it better. it sounded like she was reminiscing a bit too at one point with grogu asking about the force. it would be interesting to see how this season develops. loving it so far.
Do you think Bo might keep her helmet on? She has taken the creed, and now she has bathed in the living waters…… she seems inspired
@@bens.6458 interesting point.
I don’t think so.
Mandalorians need to unite, band together and build their civilisation and world again. Accepting each others ways of living and doing things.
I think Bo being such a pivotal bloodline should have the ability to have her helm off.
Mandalorians need to avoid civil wars, unite and build.
In the last few weeks or so we've seen the Purrgil, The Mythosaur, and The Zillo Beast. It's been quite the time for Star Wars mythical/close to extinction beasts. So cool to see!
What was the zillo beast in?
@@vxyz Bad Batch S2 ep 11. Perhaps the only good thing to come from that season so far. Along with 5 seconds screen time of Cody, one episode of Crosshair and a teeny tiny Tech arc
@@DoomofOlympus ahhh ok, havnt watched bad batch yet, still on clone wars and seen the zillo beast in an episode of that.
@@vxyz where are you up to in clone wars? The seasons just get better and better. The Zillo beast is just the best boi. I’m really only watching bad batch for Echo, Rex, Crosshair, and a few characters in this second season. Don’t want to say too much and spoil it for you
@@DoomofOlympus I'm on episode 219 of cw, I'm watching all the episodes in timeline order so have a good bit to get through
I could see Bo becoming Dins mentor, essentially teaching him what he needs to be Mandalore. I think she's starting to see that there's hope in uniting them again through Din, but she'll have to help him reconcile the differences between the clans.
Also teaching him to properly wield the Darksaber.
@@SewingMink160 true, but if Bo Katan slayed that droid beast with the darksaber, doesn't that mean she won the darksaber again?
@@MadChristoph No.
@@MadChristoph Sounds right, it defeated Din, then she defeated it. It seemed intelligent enough to count as an adversary. I really hope it's her that ends up leading the new Mandalore. She has been far, far ahead of any other Mandalorians we've seen as far as leadership and capability. The fact that none of this space faring race seems to have even looked twice at their home planet in decades is just weird. Maybe they had her not claim the sabre to establish her as a worthy noble character or maybe show she really has lost her ambition. Seems like someone's gonna ride that dragon though.
@@MadChristoph at the very least they should’ve given us a scene of her not wanting to give it back or hesitating
General Grevious Bionicle Rahkshi???
A surprised to be sure and a VERY welcomed one! 👀 10/10 Episode 🔥
omg bionicle rahkshi. This took me on a huge nostalgia trip. I remember back in the day when I was 6 when I got my first Rahkshi toy---i was so happy
It did sound like Grevious when the alien groaned. There was on particular groan that sounded like grevious saying “count dooku” 19 mins 33 seconds-19 mins 37 seconds. Or I thought it sounded like that if anyone else heard that watching the episode?
if this is what happens when bionicles somehow get into the Star Wars Universe I don't wanna know what happens if the bohrok swarm arrives
Fellow Rahkshi enjoyer💪
You took the words right outta my mouth
what i really liked about this episode was that we got to see this entire episode's journey from two different perspectives. its like a video game where, the first protagonist goes in fights in his style and has his own thoughts about the region and the surroundings but then gets into trouble, and then the second protagonist has to come in and save him, with her own fighting style and her own ideas and knowledge about that same place.
this style of story telling really helps you understand the nuance that exists between two characters that at first glance might look and feel similar, but have subtle differences that can only be explained when they're put in a close comparison such as this one. amazing episode !
Loved it when Bo turned to Grogu and said "What, did you think your Dad was the only Mandalorian?"
It was a fantastic moment!
I really do love how Bo Katan is difficult to read. As in, it's impossible to know what her intentions are from one moment to the next. She's cynical and brooding, even antagonistic at times, but when the chips are down she won't hesitate to help an ally, even one whom she has scoffed at and insulted. This could be a new character arc for her and at this point it could go many different directions.
She will defeat mando and take the sabre, then mando will accidentally ride the mythosaur and finally she has to accept mandos light sabre
@@ianshear8884 Maybe, but I'm hoping it won't be so clear-cut as that.
The whole show has been building up to the moment where the characters reconcile with themselves and each other and break free from rigid tradition. Din Djarin took off his helmet to both rescue and then say Goodbye to Grogu, and Grogu himself chose to go back to Din Djarin knowing he'd be cutting off his Jedi training short with Luke (much like how Luke did in Empire Strikes Back.)
The show also has done a good job building up the Darksaber as being a representation of everything wrong with "the old ways" of the Mandalorians; the civil wars, the back-stabbing, the hate and aggression. I hope by the end of Season 3, Bo Katan and Din Djarin do indeed set aside their differences after a tense stand-off...but Din Djarin wins (just barely) and comes to the conclusion that much like the "never remove your helmet" rule, the Darksaber is toxic and corrupt and pulls a Lord of the Rings and casts it into a pool of lava, destroying it once and for all.
It is heavily implied to be a Dark Side weapon, what with it literally being dark and called "The Darksaber." Tar Visla may have turned to the Dark Side when he originally crafted it, meaning its Dark Side influence has hung like a heavy shadow over the Mandalorian people ever since.
The dark saber is won by combat. A new age of mandalore would be her getting it through saving a fellow mandalorian who had it. No sympathy etc but by saving the owner you have earnt it. Essentially won the fight by making them survive the fight they're in. Then it's a new age of mandalore that it's not about being a warrior but it's about the survival of mandalore and then bla bla love and unity stuff haha
@@tmhargreaves I agree with the "saving and defending fellow Mandalorians and allies" part, but the Dark Saber symbolically represents aggression, power-lust and destruction. These are Dark Side traits.
Much like how the Jedi Order fell because they had become so corrupted by blind dogmatism, hypocrisy and willingness to do shady things for an even more corrupt government, so too were the Mandalorians divided over conflicting ideals and in-fighting. Bo Katan says this outright to Din Djarin; the tragedy of Mandalore was not that it was decimated by the Empire...but that centuries of civil war weakened it to the point that they stood no chance against the Empire.
@@AceSpadeThePikachu Tarre Viszla left the Jedi Order and eventually became the Mandalore , but there is no sign that he turned to the Dark Side or even became evil. He left his saber at the Temple before leaving the order, which meant he didn't want to bring it with him to Mandalore. Had he been a Darksider the Mandalorians would not have built a statue of him in reverence.
Din getting a R5 was great, but we finally get Mandalore and a Mythosaur. Now I know not everyone wants a Din/Bo relationship, but they have some growing chemistry. Loved that Din honored Bo’s father for dying on Mandalore. Din and Bo could put there differences aside to unite the Mandalorians. Bo is the only evidence Din has so I expect Bo and the Armorer to come face to face soon. Won’t be mad at all if Din and Bo start a family tree to grow alongside Grogu for the next 900 years.
I honestly kinda do like Din Djarin and Bo-Katan together, simply because they have respect for each other despite their differences.
But I still have a bad feeling that she'll backstab Din Djarin to get what she wants.
@@dereklopez9060 i hope she does, that adds alot of depth to the story and i feel like it would be out of character if she doesn't.

3 things to say. 1) best bad batch episode today. 2) brilliant mando episode setting up for a great season. 3) we all know what r5 was looking at
What was he looking at?
@@AdamGYodaWarsthe 🍰🍰
Wdym but the R5 part? Was there an end credit scene I missed or something? I swear there wasn’t anything that crazy going on with R5
@@iangarcia1585 the cake?
Bro when was he lookin
I felt Bo-Katan's grief and her almost pity for Din for clinging to a group that from her POV destroyed Mandalore. He's a true believer, but it was always theater for her. Plus, he doesn't want the Darksaber really, or didn't a couple of years ago in universe, she can't just take it from him, and it was awesome to see her make the blade dance for her. I guess the cyborg technically beat him and she beat the cyborg so ... idk that's Harry Potter Elder Wand type logic i guess. My thoughts while i was watching it anyway.
Did anyone else notice this?
Grogu jumped off his pod into the ship and left it on Mandalore when he left to get Bo, but he was in his pod when he was in Bo's ship heading back to Mandalore.
Yeah, that immediately confused me. Was there an off screen moment where the pod went up the ramp and he got back in or what? Confusing continuity.
@@MaynardCrow So the Mandalorian is the first TV show ever where off screen things happen? I also never saw Grogu take a shit, he must be exploding now
@@_Dibbler_ He left the pod behind, exited ship in it. Keep pretending the way it was cut didn't imply they were exiting Bo's ship for the first time after landing.
@Dibbler What a dick this guy is. You know what I'm sayin'?
I definitely noticed that too
I absolutely loved how Bo-Katan handled the Dark Saber like a boss!
Does she own it now?
@@tmac731 no
I like the chemistry between Bo and Din. Even if it's not romantic, I like the way they interact and their differences both separating and bringing them together. I'd like to think they'll be the two to bring all the mandalorians together and unify them somehow to restore mandalore. If not I at least hope Bo keeps by Mando and Grogus side. Hell maybe even Din could somehow convince or force her to take the Dark Saber back so there's no more conflict between them.
I think theres some secsual tension there,
I think she likes him
@@michaelsteveharristonquisp6466 and I'd honestly be down for it
It’d be weird if it was romantic considering Din is around 30 and Bo is over 70 years old…
@@brandanpalmer if that’s the true she doesn’t look it all lol
@@marcosmc3709 I think shes like late 40s low 50s. The actress is like 43 i think
There's some serious Mulder/Scully vibes between Din and Bo-Katan. One is extremely guided by his want to believe (in a Mandalorian creed) and the other is more jaded/pragmatic and is guided by her own wits, but they have a mutual respect and understanding for each other.
I love this comparison
Great comparison!
I like how we can subtly see Grogu IS getting older as he is starting to speak syllables now rather than straight babbly. I can't wait until we hear his first word!
patu!
The way, this is. Spoken, I have. A bantha, like.
He says words already. Like hatuu or something
I really love seeing Grogu actually moving on from simply existing to being a character and doing stuff like going places on his own and doing Force pushes now! this is great, I CANNOT WAIT to see if Grogu will be able to use the Force to communicate with the mythosaur, that'd be awesome, seriously thought it was going to happen, was disappointed the episode had to end right there haha.
you were wrong about how peli was scamming the rodian, she wasnt stalling for time so the jawas could take his parts, she had the jawas take his parts before hand and its now planning to sell him his own parts back with a different coat of paint.
He’s wrong on a lot of things but nobody calls him out anymore
@@killerkev3 he's getting a bit messy with some things, for example he talks about how he didn't see the marks from a new hope on the R5 droid and then 20 seconds later (3:43) there's a screen cap where you can very clearly see the marks from the bad motivator... I don't mean this as an attack it just feels as if he has a lot on his plate maybe idk
@@killerkev3 His Andor reactions proved that his attention span and overall cognitive abilities are rather...limited.
@@KhukuriGod That's harsh but imo these 3am 2 episode watch parties are past his bedtime. That time he completely shit on the (super tense) Andor prison episode because he had enjoyed Tales of the Jedi and was cranky about being up late was pretty funny though.
6:22 wouldn’t asking Bo- Katan for help be the best option too because she’s the closest? Literally a planet away not even far. Whereas tattooine/ boba fett is super far away
And it's Boonta Eve! Din knows Boba is drunk as hell that time. XD
@@D3adCl0wn lmaoo yup 😂
I mean Boba can return the favor
That and Boba made pretty clear that he doesn't give a shit about the homeworld
I think if and when Bo and the armorer meet there’s gonna be some tension.
The armorer has horns on her helmet which makes me think she went to Mauls side of Mandalorians when he killed Pre-Vizla and were at opposing sides with Bo katan and her night owls that were trying to liberate Mandalore from his grasp.
Peli identified the astromech as R5-D4. This was the same name given to the droid from A New Hope in the original Kenner toy line (I had it when I was a kid), so I'm convinced beyond all doubt that this is the same droid. As for the absence of the burn marks on this episode, I figured that Peli had just cleaned it up since we last saw it.
Was hoping someone was going to mention that Pelli said his name.
R5-D4 FTW!
Such a great episode, the story telling in this season is just superb, just as you said no unnecessary dialogue, no unnecessary scenes, clean. So freakin good
I’ve think many of us have theorized at this point that Din Djarin is going to essentially be the Mandalorian Messiah. The one who reunites the clans and reclaims their Homeworld. That’s actually why I think the Dark Saber is so heavy for him. A lot of people thought it had to do with his attachment to Grogu, and that might be part of it, but I think it’s mainly because he’s not yet ready for the responsibility that sword carry’s with it. To wield the Dark Saber is to shoulder a heavy burden, and I don’t believe it’s one Din ever wanted. I doubt he see’s himself as a leader, just a loyal Mandalorian. Still, him having the Dark Saber and now rediscovering the Mythosaur. Seems like the perfect opportunity to bring together the Children of the Watch, Bo-Katan, and all the other Mandalorians scattered throughout the galaxy.
Well technically it was BO that saw and discovered the Mythosaur. He was unconscious. And she wields the Saber with ease. And I agree he doesn't see himself as a leader. I'm guessing he's waiting on her.
@@michaelwachendorf2096 Very true, but she wouldn’t have been down had she not been with Din. 😉 and her wielding the Dark Saber with ease is actually one of the things that gave me the idea. Bo wants to lead, she is ready to lead, she wants that responsibility. Whereas Din still has a lot to learn and overcome before he can bear the weight of that sword. I actually really like the idea that Din and Bo could end up together as the King and Queen of Mandalore. I wasn’t shipping them at first, but having gone back and watched their scenes together with that in mind, I could definitely see the possibility of a romance between them. Especially in that scene where she talks about her Father.
Mandalorians are at their strongest when united. Rewatching the trailer you can see both bo’s faction and the tribe fight side by side on nevaro against what looks to be the pirates from the first episode, cant wait to see how that comes to be.
@@RenaissanceM Agree. I wonder why many people think Din and Bo would have to fight for leadership. If Bo wanted Din gone, he would have been dead a long time ago. Bo definitely has a soft spot for Din, how she acted when she saw Din wasn't in the Naboo Starfighter revealed it all.
I knew it they based the story from Jewish diaspora after the purge by Romans during the Roman-Jewish war. Just sharing.
I love Bo using the dark Saber. Best moment saving Din. Going into the water was amazing
After this episode Im downfor a 'partnership' between Din and Bo Katan. That they unite the factions and usher in a new era for Mandalore. Also would like to see a reference to Duchess Satine this season since she is hardly mentioned.
Djin gonna be clapping those cheeks. This is the way
@@CristianoRonaldo92234 This is the way
I hoped for a mentioning of Satine to and or Obi-Wan, especially when Bo toll Grogu about her past with the jedi.
@@_horus_8484 Woah dude hold your Mythosaur, let's not overload ourselves. Bo could very well be Grogu and Din's best source of Jedi lore. She will teach them both a lot of stuff!
@@_horus_8484 This is the way
The evil droid kinda reminded me of a bionicle mixed with general grevious, really liked the design of him
Din vowing indebtedness to Bo sounds like the kind of thing that can have surprising consequences for his and her future. Also, once the Armorer finds out that Mandalore is inhabitable, what's to stop her from trying to take it over for herself and the Children of the Watch? They're clearly well-organized whereas all the other factions are scattered like stars. Din and Bo will have to work together to rally the other factions against the Children of the Watch imo. And somehow, Din kills Paz in front of Ragnar, setting in motion a bitter rivalry between him and Grogu.
I'm confused didn't majority of the "children of the watch" get wasted in season 1 or 2 by the imperials? In book of boba Fett the big vizla Mando says that only the armorer and he escaped yet on season 3 ep 1 there's like 50 of them again. I must be missing something.
@Weaver150 they operated multiple "covert" groups. The one that operated on Nevarro (the Tribe clan) took the losses, leaving only 3 remaining members, according to Paz.
I agree, think this episode is setting up din and Bo as a team, as they start seeing eye to eye. Their respect for each other as well as Bo katans new found interest in mandalore as a planet will probably lead her and Din to try and rally as many other mandalorians as they can
I also noticed that a few parts of the diolog between mando and grogu tells us that mando really is training grogu as a foundling. “That way you dont get lost” was one.
Something minor about this episode - I love the hand to hand combat and the use of knives, vibroblades, and the mando wrist shields (sorry I’ve forgotten the proper name)
What was awesome is how they showed she had mastery of the dark saber and that actually she is the superior fighter over Din…she could probably beat him for it but I think shes over the BS after her team had abandoned her….but damn what a great episode! I mean just thinking about it i’ve been waiting most of my life to see something like this since the 80’s as a kid… to actually see their planet in live action… man it means alot to us older fans.
That's absolutely R5 from a new hope. I think it was Favraeu himself that said "I don't think he ever got off the planet" There's footage of him wanting the unit painted to look exactly like him with the same stains. Also, Pelli said she'd give him an oil bath which likely cleaned him up some.
10/10 Mando Episode. Good monsters, cute grogu and mando interactions, building up Bo katans ambition for the dark saber and the epic ending. I’m hype
last night episode was amazing. It was cool to see mandolore in live action made me sad seeing the city destroyed gave me clone war vibes. I also wished we could have seen the throne room
I love the slow nature of the mandalorian. it's such a calming show to watch. I truly relax when I watch it.
I feel like the true villain might actually turn out to be the Armorer. We saw how many people she had recruited in the first episode, I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to take over.
That's a good point. That would be fitting. She has the Maul style helmet and is the symbol of the old civil war era Mandalorians.
Interesting take! Im hooked how Everest will play out and how DIN will treat the more strict way f the mandalore.
This is my hope! Because the little boy did not say his helmet vow. AND lot of dialog about the faction being terrorist or zealots. Be awesome if she becomes the villain.
The trailer showed Children of the watch forces appear to have invaded a town in Nevarro, so you might be right
Paz Viszla (Jon Favreau's character) is also by her side, he might turn on her to restore Pre Viszla's rule, or align himself to Bo-Katan after being sick of the Armorer's BS. OR, challenge Din again and win, creating a four way power dynamic.
So I'd like to point out a couple of things I've observed. If you go back to the Mando episode with Ahsoka and her battle with the chick and the beskar spear. When her lightsabers were against the spear for a long time the spear didn't appear to heat up at all. In the season 2 finale during the battle scene between Mando and Moff Gideon. When the darksaber made contact with the beskar spear for longer periods of time you could visually see the area of the beskar spear glowing red hot. So the darksaber definitely has a higher temperature than at least the pure white sabers Ahsoka wielded. I'm not sure how the other saber colors would compare but I'd assume since most of the Jedi sabers are very similar to each other. Unless.. in Rebels we saw two things, saber length controls and saber strength controls. Perhaps if the saber strength controls are bumped up too high the saber becomes too unstable. So that would require a balance of length and strength. Knowing this could we theorize the crystal of the darksaber can operate at a much higher strength than the lightsabers of the Jedi without sacrificing the length. Might be interesting on why we haven't seen lightsaber daggers before. Well I haven't, perhaps someone else has.
Now to my next thought. In the season 2 finale, after Mando defeats Moff Gideon. We can see Mando escorting the Moff into the bridge with the saber on. He didn't appear to be struggling with it at that point. He turned it off then attempted to give it to Bo. At that point and after, he has been struggling with it ever since. Maybe the darksaber can detect the internal conflict within Din? Just like it did with Sabine. Because in the Rebels episode where she trains with it she mentions how heavy it is. Then it becomes lighter when her internal conflict is finally confronted and resolved. From this we could theorize Din has an internal conflict that needs to be resolved? Wait, let me backtrack a moment. Din doesn't struggle with the darksaber until after he breaks his creed by taking off his helmet! That's his internal conflict! What if after his redemption he no longer struggles to wield the darksaber? This would explain a lot! It's not the darksaber Din would be struggling with, it's his own internal conflict which the darksaber brings out of the wielder. Yes I know Bo was very efficient with the darksaber but she knows who she is and such but what if after seeing the Mythosaur she starts to have an internal conflict for herself now? Because she's starting to become a believer instead of just the spoiled princess who did it to not embarrass her father. This could get very interesting!
Anyways, my apologies for this long comment. But I actually thought of some of it as I was typing it up and didn't want to erase what I had already typed.
That weird mechanical-esque creature from the first half reminded me of the Raxus Prime level from The Force Unleashed. That big mechanical behemoth thing that it used really reminded me of some of the enemies you fight during that level.
It's kind of interesting because it made me think "This is exactly what Reach would've looked like after being glassed by the Covenant."
Was also thinking the planet looked like it had been glassed by the Covenant.
“I like to call it man-bo” had me dying. Great breakdown Theory!
man -no as in don't go there din he will regret it if he goes there with bo...........but like alot of fools they have to go there to find out lol
Never clicked faster. Star Wars theory is the goat

I loved this second episode! In itself it's stunning and a great setup for things to come. I don't know, if this has been mentioned before: but the humanoid creatures underground reminded me a lot of the Morlocks in H. G. Wells Time Machine (i.e. the film from 1960 with Rod Taylor).
It is indeed that R5. She even references his time in the rebellion which was discussed the the novel 'a certain point of view'
You know the episode is gonna be entertaining when Grogu's dialogue consist on "Pato" 👍
This was one of the best episodes so far! It gave me interstellar/game of thrones vibes. Spectacular 👏🏽
One of the best episodes of the entire series so far, well done everybody on the team who did this episode👏
This episode was trash bro 💀💀
Your voice explaining this episode is ASMR! Thank you!
Honestly, this episode was really interesting for all the right reasons. The way Din and Grogu went into Mandolore to explore the planet was interesting as both of these characters had never been there before. Also, Bo-katan was such a badass by the way she saved Din from that cyborg monstrosity.
Bo definitely redeemed herself in this one! love her
She was so cool in this episode!!
I enjoy every bit of this Episode. The Mandalorian is keeping the franchise in a great level

You don’t even believe that😂god some of you are so brain dead
Pelli called him R5D4 in the episode. Definitely the same droid. Also, my impression was that the pod racers in the street were not the actual race. People were walking around and hanging out. I think it was just “mini games” like the skills challenge before the nba all star game. Maybe.
it's the parade of the pod racers before the actual race. Since pod racers tend to be destroyed during the race this is the only way people will get to see them before.
You know, that droid with one eye, reminds me so much of poggle the lesser from star wars Attack of the clones movie.
Maybe he got hold of General Grievous tech and survived all this time.
Now that was the kind of Mando episode I wanted. Good stuff, it revives my hope in the show.
You didn't have hope in the show before? Mandolorian has consistently been great and basically the only Disney Star Wars show to pull that off. This show and Andor
@@Ethan-wr2os settle petal. I’ve always loved Mando, but the Book of Boba Fett wasn’t good. The first Mando season 3 episode was infinitely better than that but it didn’t find it to be that exciting or THE great start to the season. I’ve been really hoping that this season doesn’t follow the formula of side quests and go to this place and repeat. This episode didn’t do that, it was great. That’s what I meant.
Bo-katan was in the same systeem boba wasn't, I think that was the main reason grogu had to get her
He had literally just taught grogu how to navigate the system and explained exactly where bo katan was. That’s how grogu easily found her. I agree with you
I literally wish this wasnt a week by week show the anticipation heading into everyone week after not having this show for 2 years just kills me.
I believe the show is setting up the idea that Bo and Din will become a couple, be chosen as the legitimate rulers of the planet by the Mythosaur and thus, unite both major factions of Mandalorians in the show as one clan once more. With this theory in mind, even if Bo becomes the rightful owner of the saber, I still think she and Din will together serve as a symbol of unity to the people. Also, Grogu will be like their adopted child and will be the prince of Mandalore. He will also be the first Jedi-mandalorian in thousands of years. I have no direct knowledge the back this up, but personally, this is where I think the show is leading given all of the hints from the episode.
Yaaaa I can’t see that if anything he’s going back to that farmer woman from season one I’d feel she actually almost got the helmet off
@@ThatOGgamerGUYThat’s a great theory as well. That would be a cool series finale moment.
Shes definitely growing fond of him
@@ThatOGgamerGUY wouldn't count on it, seems like he's completely forgotten about her.
I hope not. Can’t we have a male and female pairing that aren’t romantically involved? Especially considering Bo Katan is 15-20 years older than Din?
The fact that I’ve always been such a huge fan of the mandolorians , seeing a live mythosaur was honestly one of my top ten Star Wars moments , incredible
The big droid eyes reminds me of those in the Force Unleashed
Like Qui-Gon Jinn said *"There's always a bigger fish"*
Fuck bigger fish they got a GOTDAMN city sized dragon down there.
Both Mando and Bad Batch Episodes was BRILLIANT.
Agree!!
My thought on the Darksaber is that its a hybrid of a Jedi Lightsaber and a vibrosword which could explain the sounds it makes and the blade even looks like a vibroblade.
I couldn't have asked for more in this episode. Man I love this show!
Love your recaps, gotta watch em immediately after seeing the episode. The thought of Grogu taming the mythosaur hadn't occurred to me yet but I havn't had that mind blown feeling in quite awhile.
Who knew Boonta Eve was such a rager. HAPPY BOONTA EVERYONE 🎈
Did anyone else think it was hilarious right when Mando is going into the "living waters" and says "The words of the creed shall be forever forged in my heart," and then he quickly shoots down into water like a torpedo?🤣🤣
Seeing mandalore again, and hearing Bo Katan speak about the shift in culture from her father I really hope we get to see some flashbacks on Satins youth. She must have been so determined and strong that she got this warrior society into the ways of peace.
The mythosaur will be such a cool plot point
I definitely thought we were gonna get some back story on how Satine ran things. So excited where they are going with the story. Very interested in Bo Katans perspective ijn how the mandalorians will move forward with the planet. Din and Bo and Grogu is going to be an excellent storyline
