I think i saw him at the end, don't have the time stamp, but i think it was when everyone was gathered and discussing the plans, right before Cad Bane's cameo, blink and you'll miss him, i almost didn't see him.
@@chasehedges6775 And people are actually praising this crappy writing. This and the Mandalorian have shown me that Jon Favreau can not write TV shows.
for real, this show has so little actually going on that they have to completely derail it halfway through to bring in another character. Mando isn't a well written character either, but at least he isn't the fucking disaster Boba Fett is.
The real Boba Fett! This one is probably a clone! Caminoans did 2 Boba Fetts! Subvert the expectations, Disney, bring the real Boba Fett who'll rule with fear. And with dissintigrations.
I loved when she said Luke was like his father. She was heartbroken when he went to the dark side and now she is with his son who redeemed him. Awesome moment.
I dunno - I maybe reading too much into it but like... Luke ended up hacking off his Dad's hand (Star Wars that's a.... thing) then 're-deeming him'. I honestly thought that was a pretty arsehole-ish thing for Asoka to say to Luke..."Yeah you're so much like your Dad, who wrought all this horrible shit.... Wrecked everything and ultimately destroyed the Jedi order..." I dunno maybe I'm reading it wrong but I thought there was a weighted pause there from Luke like... "Wow, I'm not sure I REALLY wanna be like my old man there Asoka... thanks..."
@@cuchalainngwndwyr1052 yeah I had to take a minute or two to process how Luke took that comment, was she being a dick about it or not. I'm still not sure.
Specifically those troopers were the 501st Legion. Vaders Battalion. This means Grogu was nearly murdered by Vader only to be trained later by Vaders son. Full circle. Absolutely love it.
Cad "The Chad" Bane has made it through The Clone Wars, The Empire, The Rebellion and its aftermath, has squared off with some of the most iconic characters of the franchise, is probably pushing eighty-plus in his species' lifespan, and is *still* kicking ass and taking names. What a fucking legend.
Even though he should have died in TCW at Boba’s hand, establishing him as a bounty hunter worthy of his father’s name and cementing his presence in the galaxy.
@@Longshanks1690 It was never confirmed he died in that unreleased episode. In Bad Batch he has a plate in his head, so that duel likely still happened and he survived. Unless you're just saying you would have liked if he died to Boba in TCW.
@@WarHog4ever If TCW hasn’t been cancelled, it was very clear that is what they wanted to do as it would explain perfectly why Boba was known in the Imperial Era while Cad Bane was nowhere to be seen, there’s no other conclusion to that scene that makes sense. But yes, I obviously would have liked that regardless.
"Hey a black guy who is very articulate and insightful" damn man why you gotta be racist? like if he was a white dude you wouldnt have been talking about him being articulate or insightful
I think Grogu gets both. Remember last week they said the guy who made the Dark Saber was both Mandalorian and Jedi. They've set up that this can happen. I think Luke lets him have armor and the saber :)
Grogu choose beskar armor because that's where his heart is and abandon training like Luke did In Empire Strikes Back. While being With Mandalorian Grogu starts remember his training, like Luke said, He doesn't teach him. It's more like Grogu is remembering. And maybe then Grogu gets Yodas Lightsaber. And he becomes Jedi Knight. Like Luke said, someones lifetime is just flash for a being that lives 900 years.
@@tylerdurden5303 Yeah, but that was coming from a guy that dealt in absolutes himself. He was fixed in the idea that Vader was not redeemable even after he died. You also do not know if Luke is doing this just to confirm where Grogu's heart is. We do not know, but I think Luke wants to distance himself from the old teachings. If you think about it, he is giving him the choice if he wants to train, unlike the old order that used to kidnap children and force them into that life by brainwashing them.
The clones storming the temple were Anakin Skywalkers clones, the 501st. At this point Mace Windu had already fallen to Anakin as that took place before Anakin and his clones stormed the temple. Order 66 happened after the death of Windu
@@solisprime2669 What? They weren't wrong at all lol. Anakin stormed the Jedi Temple in the movie with the 501st after killing Mace Windu prior in Palpatine's office and was literally the catalyst for Order 66. That's canon and been the case since 2005.
In TFA, we wanted Luke as an Exmachina, we got that in Mandalorian S2 Finale. In TLJ, we want to see Luke as a teacher. We see that in this episode of Book of Boba.
i honestly hate this trend that disney is doing, they dont do their characters justice in their own series then proceeds to make them super badass in someone else's show. Boba in his own show is nowhere near as badass as when he was in Mandalorian
I personally really appreciated Ray’s perspective on the episode. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if he joined in for the finale review. Also, I would love to hear Alex’s thoughts on it. Is there a possibility to hear them at the beginning of the finale review?
I hate Kylo and his entire arc. I hope they do the rest of this story justice but end before they get to the Disney Trilogy era since there is nothing to redeem from that story arc
Djinn Djarin has just became more engrained in Star Wars lore than Rey or Kylo could in 3 feature-length films!!! What an episode, amazing how great Luke was. Literally cried when I saw him at first giving lessons to Grogu and speaking of Yoda. Never stay down!
Came here to say the same thing. I watched Star Wars in the early 90s and this episode is everything I've wanted Star Wars to continue as after RotJ. Never thought I'd ever see Luke or Grogu again. This episode was amazing fan service and it was done in a way that pushes the narrative of the ENTIRE Star Wars canon.
To be fair, all the characters in the Sequel films were done a great disservice by the hands off approach by Disney and the producers. They never had a chance to be good because they were constantly being whipped back and forth into dumb story paths. Djinn has had a consistent tone because of Filloni and Favreau. This is the approach that should have been taken with the sequels, one director at the helm, with the same basic story in mind.
@@tbirdguy1 Didn't Disney retcon that trilogy or was that just a rumor? Anyway, I agree that with Force Awakens I was a little iffy, but I thought "maybe theres a reason for the things that happened," but nothing paid off and things just snowballed and got worse. I was totally into Luke's story and wanted to see it continue, but it didn't until now (even not focused on him, we still get to see what hes up to and whats happening. And its canon, not just fan fiction.)
@Nump I know 😭 I need how like in Loki we would get just therapy sessions I need that for Luke and Ahsoka because Luke only knew Vader and Ahsoka knew Anakin
I was 15 when Empire came out in 1980, a high school freshamn. Watching Luke train in this episode, especially his flip with Grogu on his back, hit hard in the feels. I was watching it with my 14yo son and seeing that made me suddenly remember sitting in the theater watching Empire for the first time and being absolutely enraptured by it.
Just seeing Cad Bane in live-action made me go crazy with so many emotions all at once, I couldnt believe it actually happened. Watching the Clone Wars when it was airing Cad Bane was my favorite bounty hunter for years waiting for Season 7 to see some of that cut content only to never get it was disappointing. But when the Bad Batch happened and when he returned after so many years of nothing was truly something special and was easily easing us back into his live-action debut, I was filled with so much emotion, as soon as I saw the hat it was all over for me.
They made it in such a badass way too. Love the way he entered like a western movie. He is the first person I would think of too who would work for the cyndacite. It also sets him up for a villain in the ahsoka show. Depending on what happens in the final episode. Whatever happens this is the best of Disney star wars by far and whoever is in charge needs to stay!
When I saw him walking in the distance at first I thought it was a sith, until I saw the hat and duster lol Such a good entrance for a character everyone wanted to see for so long. I really wanna pat the directors on the back for how they handled it
@@Max-zg6ld is this confirmed? If so doesn't mean he can't be in it either. He's a major villain to ahsoka from the clone wars and would fit perfectly.
It makes sense that he gives Grogu chainmail instead of plates of armor. Having armor he can wear under his robes means people won’t be able to see he’s wearing beskar and try to kill him for it like we saw in the first 2 seasons of The Mandalorian. Plus It’s lighter for his tiny body to move around in.
@@weareharbinger914 I think it’s because Grogu is gonna stay that small for a lot longer of his life. I’m not Star Wars savy but I’m pretty sure that race lives a long time and take a while to grow up.
That Rancor is going to rampage through and kick ass with Boba riding it. It's been set up. If it doesn't happen next episode it'll happen in Mando season 3.
I was particularily impressed by the Luke CGI. The Mandalorian Luke was still kinda meh, but here it really shows what kind of a powerful tool this already is.
They hired the dude that made a better cgi version of Luke that he then posted on youtube. He made a side by side video of the original cgi and his version.
How insane was the deep faking on this episode. There was a little weird feathering one time he turned his head, but other than that it looked amazing!
He started judging and criticizing the series while admitting he hadn't seen a single of the non-Mandolorian episodes. I don't like his criticism at all
Don't you find Alex depressing and insufferable? Nothing makes that guy happy and he oozes negative energy, like he could give a crap about being on the show
AMEN! I didn't expect Cad F*cking Bane to show up and "lay down the rules". Also the dumbass duty was there so that Marshall Cobb don't have to die by Bane's blasters. He looks terrifying! AWESOME! 😆
Filoni: I want to bring in Luke with Ahsoka, have Luke train Grogu, Cobb Vanth, and Cad Bane in the same episode of the Book of Boba fett. Disney: aRe YoU... ArE yOu OuT oF yOuR MIND?!?!
Seeing how it was all practical and he’s in his early 70s at this point, I also think it looks fantastic. There’s alot of people of complaining that it isn’t an exact replication of his look in the Clone Wars unfortunately.
@@Red_1911 i loved it but I guess the only thing I would like them to maybe fix for a future show is his skin color, it looked more light blue instead of dark blue like it is in the Clone wars show. Other than that he looked fantastic
I feel like Luke is most definitely going to give both in the end. I think he's teaching him attachment is fine but be prepared to let go. Ashoka mentions Luke's father and I think that got Luke really thinking
I wish this how it will go but ultimately Luke doesn't learn from the mistakes of the past Jedi. He just repeats them all over again. We're not heading to a Master Luke who makes something new, we're heading to Hermit Luke.
Jedi are dogmatic and pragmatic, if they weren’t sith wouldn’t exist and palpatine wouldn’t have ever gained power. If you practice Jedi teachings you’re repeating the sins of the past. I highly doubt Luke has learned but I hope he has.
@@ItachiUchiha-69 Nah man.Sith are weak people. Anakin becomes evil because he is a fearful person with a lot of power. If he didn't betrayed Mace, the galaxy would be safe.
@@raphaeldias5502 it’s a little more nuanced than that, anakin’s fall can’t be simplified into “he was a fearful person in a place of power.” That makes him sound like hitler or something. His story is much more emotionally felt, much of the reason everything happens is because of the Jedi and the way they treat anakin. Like how yoda tells him just to forget his mother and let go of all attachments, yet it’s proven he should’ve done something sooner because he finds her as she’s dying.
@@ItachiUchiha-69 Yoda taught anakin to let go. He knew how hard his life was, and saw that he needed to be less passionate. It's not like he is "hitler", he was a tragic person, someone who showed promise but eventually gave up to fear and anger.
@@thanos2715 I think you misread what movie he was referring to sir. He was talking about how Luke was swinging like a maniac in his duel with Vader and how it’s refreshing seeing him in better form in this episode.
The Clone troopers shown in the flashback of Grogu had the blue patterns on their helmets, indicating that they were a part of the 501st Battalion, which was led by Anakin during Order 66 on the Jedi Temples in Coruscant. Pretty cool shit.
@@solisprime2669 I think it's just the numbers game, in Jedi fallen order ,order 66 flashback we see cals Master used Force push on a couple but there's just too many.
@@BigFootTheRealOne but the clones seemed to be bunched up while the ones in the ship spread out. Regardless that was my only complaint great scene though.
Grogu's training and speed of learning is valid, cuz in the Mandalorian it was established that he was trained for years in the Temple, and now Luke mentioned that its not that Grogu learns this fas, its more like he remembers how to do things... so they covered all the bases.. unlike in a certain movie where we go from 0 to hero in a few days span...
Well, he levitated a mudhorn when he needed to, but he could barely levitate a shifter knob on someone elses say-so. So I'd say they've been pretty consistent. They even said that he suppressed his abilities, out of fear
You see the thing about Rey was she was naturally good at everything but her only struggle was finding out who she was in the galaxy. This was literally the directors take from it... She wasnt a terrible unlikeable character, she was just written soooo lazily. Like it should be illegal to make a main character like her lol
@@lucidsage3494 Agreed. Rey COULD have been something amazing, but the execution, especially from the writing, was shoddy and lazy. The entire sequel trilogy was a disjointed mess all around. My thoughts right now? Give Bryce Dallas Howard her own series or trilogy, and let Dave Filoni do whatever the hell he wants haha. Hell, let him retcon the damn sequels. Even keep the characters. He and Jon Favreau could probably do them all better.
@@ashscott6068 i was tring to make the point , that in a certain subpar trilogy, they written a certain character so badly that you could not overlook it... but with Grogu we have established he had years of training, thus his fast pace of learning/remembering using the force, makes sense...
Ashoka showing up was one of the moments that hyped me up so much, because I wasn't expecting her there, and the thought of her interacting with Anakin's son was exciting
Can not be understating, I've always thought R2D2 is a hugely underrated bad ass. He has been there since the beginning in the prequels, he has saved both obi and Anakin many times, saved luke and continues to LIVE on his memory never wiped out. He probably has Holo recordings of Anakin murdering kids. I love that we now have Ahsoka so intertwined with star wars and an absolutely beautiful story arc. From whinny little brat to respected woman who tells yoda to basically shove it to a mystical master eventually a true Legend.
Boba became a side character in his own damn show. They half-assed two Boba Fett stories into one and halfway through the season ditched him almost entirely to enter Mandalorian Season 3 Prologue lmao
It feels like Star Wars is back! The Mandalorian is once again uniting the fan base, Skywalker Saga coming in 2 months which looks incredible, and they said that Fallen Order 2 might release at the end of the year
I think after Boba series, they should just make a Book of Star Wars. Not all of the characters can handle a series of their own, but each of them together can do amazing things !
I just have to say that Episode 6 was better than anything that Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker EVER gave us. It's insane to me that they ever happened the way they did!
Ray is a good addition to your crew. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective and his rating of this episode is totally respectable. Hope he is able to join you three for future reviews.
@@bassmasta93 because thats his opinion? I agree its easily a 9 or id go as far as a 10 for me personally. but just because he doesn't have the same stance as us, doesnt mean he's completely unrespectable. when you look at this episode as a boba fett fan this episode is disappointing. the show is called book of boba fett yet the past 2 episodes have had next to or zero appearances of him. and for people who have been waiting for this for decades (myself included) just to see it fall flat, then spend the rest of the show not even redeeming it. atleast for boba. so I can see how people would look at these 2 awesome episodes and be disappointed as a boba fan.
@@JoeMama-qt5go that’s fair, I just think after the disappointment of the sequels, this is amazing and what we have wanted. It doesn’t bother me that this episode took place during the book of boba, I am fairly certain that the mandalorian and boba and possibly even ahsoka will all be interconnected and we will see boba in mando s3, if we don’t see boba in mando though, that will be an issue.
This episode was what most of us wanted to see in the sequel trilogy. We wanted to see the legacy of Star wars treated with respect and love. That's what we finally got here.
but it's too late, as cool as this is, how can we enjoy it knowing how it ends? Luke betrays everyone, tries to kill his nephew, abandons his family and dies alone on an island, the lone survivor is rey palpatine. They should leave Luke out of it. What is done is done.
@@bl4d3runn3rX thats what they have to do. Announce 7 8 9 is not Canon just like they did for the expanded universe. Admit their mistake. Will they do it?
@@commandershepard9601 We may know how it ends, but there's alot of time between now and when Luke tries to kill his nephew......You can't tell me you wouldn't want to see what leads up to that....If in fact Filoni and Farvo are following the movies to a t.
If you are getting in to star wars this late in your life. Which depends on how old you are. I doubt you will get any more excited then the fanatics. Most fans I know been following star wars at a early age. I am 38 years old and I saw star wars at 7 and it was my favorite movie of all time and followed it since then. So all I can say is the most of hype comes from the biggest fans right now. Its still good but your perception of good maybe different from others, kind of how like Rays was. But Mandalorian Season 2 and Boba Fett has been doing huge fan service finally and people are now freaking out. So if you don't follow star wars that much, your perception maybe different.
I had tears of joy when when Ashoka spoke about anakin, and omg order 66 flashback and cad bane in live action!! This episode was pure insanity and amazing I truly can’t wait for the finale now.
@@cpolonium1121 Never understood why Lucas choose CGI for the clones when he could have used guys in armour so easely...I mean it worked for the stormtroopers.
@@cpolonium1121 Your right, they never even built a single wearable suit for the prequels. They probably were just CGI since it’s pretty unlikely they’d make costumes for such a small scene. If you watch Mando Season one you can see they even had trouble making the Stormtrooper Costumes. They look off, for example they all look like they had gamer neck. Its pretty funny how the 501st fan legion had better costumes. So yeah it was prob CGI.
Just a little note Joe - we actually CAN tell that it was the Jedi temple on coruscant that was being attacked in the flashback because of the clone troopers. They had blue armor signifying them as anakins 501st division that raided the Jedi temple. So if we see any more of that scene we could Potentially see ANAKIN.
Nah boba fett is shit in this show. I could take a shit on his character and that would have more views than his actual screen time on the show. Not an assumption, but a fact.
I love the idea that Boba stole alot of Mando's thunder in his season 2, and now Mando is getting revenge by just straight up taking Boba's show from him.
This was my favorite episode of any Star Wars thing ever, I got emotional watching Ahsoka talking with Mando and I lost my mind with her in the same scene as Luke F****** Skywalker! The Cad Bane intro was PERFECT! When Luke did the flip with the child on his back! I can't believe Dave Filoni gave us so much of what people were expecting in Season 3 of Mando. This episode had so much fan service but I loved every second of it! I don't care about Boba Fett or his Cyberpunk Power Ranger gang just give me more Mando and Grogu! 10/10!!!!
@@Maxrepfitgm it would’ve been 11/10 for me too if Boba and the gang DIDN’T make an cameo appearance! I don’t want to be reminded that I’m watching an inferior tv series from the Mando!
Was anyone else annoyed with Luke's ultimatum to Grogu? I mean come on Luke, you of all people should realize that the whole letting go of attachment attitude with Jedi is stupid. Grogu can care about Din and Din can care about Grogu. If you want to forbid attachment, you should never have tried to save your father Luke.
I have the same thoughts so far. But until I see the final episode, I cannot know for sure that Luke isn’t just saying some of that to test Grogu in some way (like seeing if he defies the choice and picks both, who Grogu prefers to be with in general, etc.).
Grogu is like 6 months old in his lifetime. He understands nothing. It's idiotic to even be training him. And Wtf has Luke been doing with him in the interim since the last Mandalorian episode? It seemed like he decided to teach the basics over when Din showed up. This entire series is fucking stupid.
I watched Return of the Jedi when I was 7yo (until 1984 because México), after that there was and emptiness of SW that was never properly filled with films like Ewoks or the animated Droids and Ewoks series, then we got several years after the prequels(we all remember how that went), and I just wanted to see how Luke managed Yoda's wishes for him to continue the Jedi Order, finally we got the awful approach with the sequel trilogy, I felt that SW was over for me, until The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 and specifically last Episode of Boba Fett series. Thank you Dave and Jon. The only way I got to see all of these was in my mind and with my action SW figures in my childhood.
@@Walamonga1313 i totally get what you mean, but i was never a gamer nor a deep fan of the extended universe, i was just a kid with his toys in the late 80s guessing what in the world happened with his hero Luke Skywalker and his friends. But maybe you are right.
I was never that attached to luke as a character, i loved the original trilogy for the experience but the characters weren't my thing. Not until force unleashed did i find a starwars character that i resonated with. Seeing luke in this episode finally made me understand why people were angry at the utter disrespect he was treated with in the disney movies. I understand that this is the luke we should have gotten in the movies. Goddamnit disney.....
Dude I had the exact same revelation. Seeing how great he is in these episodes but knowing what is to come later with Luke makes me so sad. I just want more of this Luke. Like I’d kill for an entire series
Seeing Star Wars with today's technology is amazing, especially when it actually treats the characters with respect and follows up on what they had going on. I was also not very attached, but this and games like Jedi Academy really show what SW is capable of.
Cad Bane took me totally by surprise, which just made it that much more awesome. The actor did a great job too, he moves with the same cadence that Bane often did in the Clone Wars. I really hope that isn’t all we’ll see of him. Also, did anyone else see a little bit of Hayden Christianson in Luke’s face at some points? Really cool detail if so.
Additional questions that I have: -Will there be another appearance of the Hutts in the finale? -Will we see any more cameos? Maybe Han? -Will Boba decide he doesn’t want to be in charge anymore? Especially after the end of Ep 6. -Will other bounty hunters like Dengar, Bossk, or IG88 appear as additional muscle for Boba? -Will Luke relent and let Grogu stay as an apprentice even though he chooses the chainmail? So many possibilities. One final thought, I am more interested in this one episode than I was for TLJ or ROS. Hands down. The ST really does suck.
I think the Hutts are done for now, probably going to focus on the Pykes Cameos, I think we might see some bounty hunters like Bossk and Dengar, but I feel like the Pykes are going to hire them. As for Han, I think it’d most likely be a mention rather than seeing him
I doubt Harrison ford will ever play Han again but damn do i wish he would. He's the reason i liked star wars to begin with as a kid. Cantina scene is too damn cool
That last scene. when you see a blurry silhouette in the distance, and you get chills because you know exactly whats coming is how you know you are doing things right. And when you unbadass one of the most badass characters ever to the point every fucking character that appears on screen gets a better reception is when you should realize, you have done something wrong.
For those who might not have caught on, this effectively, just retconned the sequel trilogy. Not really retconned, but puts it into a different time line. This will never end up becoming the end of the Jedi or Luke becoming a hermit. In fact you can trace the retcon back to the end of Mando season 2, but the info they have presented in Book of Boba, just confirmed and reinforced it. Dave and Jon as a Star Wars writers, knows that, "This is the Way". I also have to mention, they did a really good job with Luke this time around, compared to the deep fake used at the end of Mando S2.
I was hoping that was the case but I don't think so because unless they make grogu Luke's first apprentice we are unfortunately still on track for Ben to be his first and continue that terrible story line.
Grogu is going to reject Luke’s way of the jedi and won’t actually become the first full apprentice. Instead he’ll go with Mando and find his own way with the force.
I was also hurt by the sequels. I grew up with all Star Wars. My parents let me watch a new hope and I was enthralled. I watched them all over and over again then watched the clone wars and I loved the clone wars, when I saw cad bane, I was like, marshal, don’t draw, you won’t live man
Ep6 was some of the best Star Wars content ever made. It fulfilled some lifelong hopes and dreams of mine regarding Luke and jedi training. Even if the overall series ends up being garbage we will still have the gems of episode 5 and 6
What you said Joe at 27:39 is SPOT ON. I thought of the same thing too. I’m pretty sure he’s standing in the same exact corner as boba did so many years ago. I feel like ALL of our fathers are Boba Fett fans and now the newer generation from ages 10-20 and maybe 30 are Din Djarin fans. Me and my dad are actually getting tattoos and my dad is getting bobas logo and im getting Dins mud horn one. Im super excited and would be awesome for us to bond over something we both love
Of course Grogu is gonna go with the Mandolorian, remember that lady, cleared out the r2d2 dock port on the naboo fighter, which has a transparent dome on it, it's obviously built for Grogu :)
That's because you can tell Dinn is breathing heavily under his armor which implies he's anxious about getting to see Grogu. Amazing emoting by Pedro Pascal. I felt that
I think Grogu is going to make a point in picking both the saber and the chainmail. I just can't see any other option per the story they are trying to write. If he picks the saber, it raises too many questions as to the events prior to Force Awakens as to why we don't see him among the dead, if he picks the chainmail, that could be seen as too obvious. He's too attached to Din to be a properly detached Jedi. If they want to make it a point of him becoming a Mandalorian Jedi, he'd have to pick both. It also solves the problem of how to help Din train with the Dark Saber-it isn't HEAVY in the traditional sense of the word; it's just fighting him because his heart isn't into it. I think being with Grogu again, someone who's essentially become a son to him, would give him the clear head he needs to properly wield it. Grogu picking both would solve almost all writing issues or questions that this plot point of Grogu himself gives the writers. The sequels aren't inherently BAD MOVIES. They're very well made. Just poor Star Wars movies. I think it's important to show Luke as fallible. That he isn't perfect. After all isn't that what people complained about with Rey? That she was flawless? The plot points are all there, for a good story. It just needed to be buffed out. If OTHER SHOWS are how they can buff out the sequels I'm all for it. And the World Between Worlds EXISTS. It's right there. If Disney wants a restart....just make....a point in time....start a new timeline....almost like a Flashpoint per se.
I mean they have written themselves into a corner, and showing Luke hasn't really learned anything from his time as a Jedi. He's making the same mistakes the Order did by trying to force this attachment issue, and it's his attachment to Darth Vader that ultimately saved the life of his friends, his own life, and the Galaxy. You would hope that might be a wake up call to him. I agree overall, I hope Grogu chooses both.
@UCkQmJVW8KSxsk6oz0lNOyOA I agree you'd think Luke would know better, but those who don't know or learn their history, are doomed to repeat it. Luke was taught by Yoda, who was taught about the whole no attachment rule. Yoda AND OBI-WAN both were like "NO DON'T SAVE YOUR FRIENDS YOU WILL DIE." but Luke ditched them for his friends. It was his attachment to Ben that ultimately saved Ben's life and saved Luke from making a TERRIBLE mistake. He really is too much like his father. Like Anakin, Luke acted out on a vision that was never complete-Anakin never saw the outcome of Padme's fate, just that she COULD die, and much like Anakin, Luke never saw the outcome of Ben's fate, just what COULD happen. And I like writing like that. Stuff that shows, while we aren't our fathers, our ancestral lineage doesn't define us, sometimes...that bit of the past just can't be shaken. What makes Luke a great character is that he's imperfect-not just that he's a badass.
My guess, he will choose the chainmail, get shit on with Bobba and Djin by crimson dawn/pyke and understand he needs to train protecting him, so he returns back with Luke.
@@red244 Jedi dealt with attachment by suppressing love and emotion in general. Don't think Luke is doing that... and for starters gives the child a choice after taking him in. Btw, the choice seems taken from Lone Wolf and Cub, when Itto puts a sword and a toy (I think) in front of his son: if he chooses the toy he'll kill him (send him to his mother in heaven), by choosing the sword he takes him with him.
It was the Star Wars episode I remember HOPING we would have in my deep future when I was reading all of those crazy comic book expansions that came out in 1977 and 1978. It is the FIRST TIME I have felt that since 1983. It almost put me to tears.
Seems like star wars seemed to struggle to fulfill it's full potential after episode 5 even though we got decent if not pretty good media in general here in there over the decades. With the mandolorian and now the book of boba fett, we finally see star wars at it's very best and it feels good that we all get see this franchise at it's full potential along with the respect and care it deserves.
@@justanotherperson7774 Mando and bobba fett are not even the best I would say that would be the clone wars. Even in this episoide, half the hype revolved around the live action depictions of characters that started out in the clone wars .
Episodes 5 and 6 leave me so conflicted. So happy that Star Wars is bouncing back hardcore, but so depressed that Boba Fett is being shunted to the side the moment he finally has the opportunity to shine :( My current hope is that they decided to use these two episodes in order to take a step back and re-evaluate their approach to Boba Fett based on fan feedback, and are probably going to explore more of Fett later after BoBF is done or its next season or whatever comes thereafter. That is my HOPE. I am prolly wrong. I really hope they do not have Mando take out Cad Bane. That would be such a disservice to the Boba v Cad Bane plotline that has been around for years.
@@SwaggerLikeUz Please dear god let it be like this where it is slow introduction and Boba Fett actually has some real hardhitting moments later down the line. I don't want him to be sidelined as the background godfather after accomplishing so little :c
@@JustSomeDinosaurPerson I feel like he's trying to do things differently than how he usually has but with the constant other provinces or crime lords constantly back stabbing him, he will realize, it won't work and just obliterate everyone.
Don't blame the writers the actor playing Bobba said he didn't wanna do much active parts so it's probably just been made for the fans to close his chapter
I honestly think the show is really good. I've watched star wars since the 80s, and I'm really happy to see Fett fleshed out some. So what if Mando and Luke, along with Asoka are in it. Adds to the lore
What do you mean so what? They have no problem as those are the best parts of the show, they have problems with Boba having no spine and always doing what his opponents want
I've seen criticism about bringing in so many characters from extended lore like Ahsoka and others from Clone Wars, saying that SW will never succeed if it just relies on characters only hardcore fans recognize. For a while, I started question how true that was because while I was happy to see some familiar faces, I wondered what it was like for someone who wasn't familiar with cartoons and comics. Well this show switched things up for me with Black K, because I had NO IDEA he was from extended universe material. Not one idea. I thought he was brand new, but I was so impressed when he first showed up with the Hutts that I immediately wanted MORE of him. I absolutely loved how cool and scary he seemed. And then I found out he was from the comics, but realized I finally felt that from the POV of someone unfamiliar with a pre-existing character. And it still worked, because if a character is done well regardless, you'll end up being excited to see more of them, and then learn about them if they were from something else.
Fair point. I also liked seeing Back K, if only because a Wookie enforcer/bounty hunter is a cool concept and he's fun in the show. However, I'd argue that introducing characters like Cad Bane, who I had no idea as to who he was until I watched a review where he was named, in the way that this episode did, is a bad way to do it. It just leaves people confused and annoyed that there's stuff from the Clone Wars being introduced that some people haven't watched before. I've only seen a few episodes of that and Rebels here or there. I'm NOT a hard core Star Wars fan. All I've seen are the movies and the live-action TV shows. Sure, I've read a few books and played a few games, but they're mostly all standalone and don't require any other information to properly enjoy them, apart from the basics. I'm genuinely happy that people are enjoying this show more now. I just wish it was done in a more general way so that everyone could enjoy it and not just Star Wars superfans :)
@@jeremyadler9620 I think its still really good if u dont know much about star wars because Black K/Cad Bane/Ahsoka are really cool in the series and youre intrigued to learn more. Its not as good as for a hardcore fan but still good and they could possibly explain these characters and/or do more of them going forward that is still good without knowing backstory
@@jeremyadler9620 I think, while Luke was a nice inclusion in the episode (and a necessary one), overall Star Wars needs to stop relying on the tried and true characters and make way for new characters outside the core films, just because the lore is so expansive. Like the OP said, if a character is well-written, it will be received well by mostly everyone, including the casual fans.
@@mattcubed9658 but it doesn’t make sense. That’s like watching Return of the Jedi without watching the other two movies and complaining on how you didn’t know the characters. It’s their fault for not keeping up with the material. Ray hasn’t even watched all the episodes of Book of Boba Fett…
I never expected them to go all out in this one episode in the middle of book of boba fett, but I don’t mind at all. IT WAS AMAZING. When Luke was looking across the land with Grogu and the Star Wars theme started going, I almost cried
For the most part, the Clone Wars had full seasons, not just 7 episodes that was telling one narrative arch before turning on a dime 60% of the way through.
@@f1jones544 As a fan in general when there's a cast established in any series they become a collective part of the overall story. Mando is the flagship franchise then theres BOBF & Ahsoka (The spin offs). Thus Its not unusual to see episodes which feature those various cast member's sub plots.
I think it's all on purpose. This entire show has been Boba trying to walk the wrong path. I'm hoping that the realization happens in the last episode and he puts the helmet back on for good
You sweet summer child, they did Boba dirty because they ripped off his character with Mando and they can't have him be Boba because they already did it with Mando. "This entire show has been Boba trying to walk the wrong path" No they literally WANT him to be inferior and a bumbling idiot... my guess is so his bodyguard can take over as the strong competent leader. Sorry to be a downer but I know a lot about the production being rushed and even the actors where calling this shit out for "not being in character" and it's was literally being written on the fly as they shot it and is/was undergoing massive reshoots to try and salvage it.
As soon as I saw that wide brimmed hat I knew exactly who was going to walk up. This man was capable of going toe to toe with some of the best Jedi's in the order daily. This threat is actually huge.
28:09 you're absolutely right OJ, I think it should have been the first episodes of the mandalorian s03, it just feels strange this being in book of boba fett despite that they are really good episodes.
It’s funny since they should’ve just made the post ROTJ shows into one anthology show like the clone wars and it would’ve made them putting things like this make sense. They probably didn’t think of it.
Yea This episode….. jus brought the feels….I’m such a goddamn emotional nostalgic homer. So good 😊 And nice surprise to see Ray here. It’s almost like in school when you get the cool substitute teacher for a day. Hope to see him along with the other 3 in more videos. ✌🏻
Can we just as a community retcon episode 7-9 and pretend that the Mandalorian and book of Boba are the newest adaptations to the Star Wars films. This way we really don't know how Luke Skywalker will become has a Jedi Master, instead of that old grouchy Jedi Master we got in 8-9.
You should try a AJ, OJ, Alex and Ray... 2 people in each frame and hash out a show episode. The chill, not a super fan dynamic is actually really nice for someone like me that doesnt know a ton about starwars but liked the mandalorian
Dave Filloni is proving what every fan of the animations always said: give him the franchise he knows these characters and he knows what he's doing, he just fucking understands Star Wars, fuck imagine what could've been if he was in charge of the sequels but no what we've got was all the Kathleen "The Force is Female" kennedy bullshit.
Seeing the young Skywalker again was awesome, and sad. Knowing what a complete failure he became as a Master Jedi just hurts. I'm working on concentrating on this time-line and forgetting the awful future that the franchise gave us. Regarding the Choice- I thought it was perfect. Better for Luke to know now, instead of later. I'm pretty sure Groku chooses the chain mail, and I'm ok if that happens. Amazing episode- sorry it ended with the Marshall getting killed/hurt.
Tell me, what is there to love about this show? The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are only just shows where they shove in as many cameo's into as possible and pass that off as story telling
I think it's obvious that Grogu is going to choose the armor, there's literally a spot for him on Din's starfighter. I think Grogu is going to wield the darksaber not Din
There's no way Grogu wields the Darksaber, for a few reasons. Firstly, Din gave his previous melee weapon away to be turned into armor this is his new one now. Secondly, you can't just take the darksaber, you need to defeat your foe in battle, I don't really see grogu fighting Din like that. Thirdly, isn't it like prophecy that a mandalorian would save mandalor by wielding the darksaber? Din has to go underneath the wreckage to attone for taking his helmet off still. And Lastly, I think the darksaber is WAY too large for Grogu, there's no way he's swinging that thing around, he would need yoda's saber if anything.
There are so many cameos in this show, I wouldn’t be surprised if Boba Fett turns up at some point too!
I think i saw him at the end, don't have the time stamp, but i think it was when everyone was gathered and discussing the plans, right before Cad Bane's cameo, blink and you'll miss him, i almost didn't see him.
@@xxvaltielxx1789 Yep. The supposedly main character has a cameo in the show he’s the protagonist of
@@chasehedges6775 And people are actually praising this crappy writing. This and the Mandalorian have shown me that Jon Favreau can not write TV shows.
for real, this show has so little actually going on that they have to completely derail it halfway through to bring in another character. Mando isn't a well written character either, but at least he isn't the fucking disaster Boba Fett is.
The real Boba Fett! This one is probably a clone! Caminoans did 2 Boba Fetts! Subvert the expectations, Disney, bring the real Boba Fett who'll rule with fear. And with dissintigrations.
I loved when she said Luke was like his father. She was heartbroken when he went to the dark side and now she is with his son who redeemed him. Awesome moment.
I dunno - I maybe reading too much into it but like... Luke ended up hacking off his Dad's hand (Star Wars that's a.... thing) then 're-deeming him'.
I honestly thought that was a pretty arsehole-ish thing for Asoka to say to Luke..."Yeah you're so much like your Dad, who wrought all this horrible shit.... Wrecked everything and ultimately destroyed the Jedi order..."
I dunno maybe I'm reading it wrong but I thought there was a weighted pause there from Luke like... "Wow, I'm not sure I REALLY wanna be like my old man there Asoka... thanks..."
@@cuchalainngwndwyr1052 yeah I had to take a minute or two to process how Luke took that comment, was she being a dick about it or not. I'm still not sure.
Be funny if she said, "don't kill him" as if training him too hard. " Wouldn't want you killing younglings like your old man 😉"
Specifically those troopers were the 501st Legion. Vaders Battalion. This means Grogu was nearly murdered by Vader only to be trained later by Vaders son. Full circle. Absolutely love it.
If the rumors are true it will be even more mind blowing
"Trained" or made to remember
Anakins Battalion... :)
Another circle was the Yoda training Luke and now Luke training "young" Yoda!
They stormed corescent. Just confirms they were definitely in the temple.
Cad "The Chad" Bane has made it through The Clone Wars, The Empire, The Rebellion and its aftermath, has squared off with some of the most iconic characters of the franchise, is probably pushing eighty-plus in his species' lifespan, and is *still* kicking ass and taking names. What a fucking legend.
So what you’re saying is he’s Star Wars Clint Eastwood!
Even though he should have died in TCW at Boba’s hand, establishing him as a bounty hunter worthy of his father’s name and cementing his presence in the galaxy.
@@S45698 yeah, quite literally
@@Longshanks1690 It was never confirmed he died in that unreleased episode. In Bad Batch he has a plate in his head, so that duel likely still happened and he survived.
Unless you're just saying you would have liked if he died to Boba in TCW.
@@WarHog4ever If TCW hasn’t been cancelled, it was very clear that is what they wanted to do as it would explain perfectly why Boba was known in the Imperial Era while Cad Bane was nowhere to be seen, there’s no other conclusion to that scene that makes sense.
But yes, I obviously would have liked that regardless.
“Alex looks a little different today” 😂😂 Loved Ray’s input very articulate and insightful even for only seeing episodes 1 and 5.
Agreed he missed the filler crap lol
I was done with the show by episode 4. Just when I thought I was out Joe pulls me back in
"Hey a black guy who is very articulate and insightful" damn man why you gotta be racist? like if he was a white dude you wouldnt have been talking about him being articulate or insightful
@@magus104 what the hell you on about?
I didn't realize until he started speaking and giving positive feedback about something.
I think Grogu gets both. Remember last week they said the guy who made the Dark Saber was both Mandalorian and Jedi. They've set up that this can happen. I think Luke lets him have armor and the saber :)
I remember Obi-Wan once saying "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." So, forcing Grogu to chose between one or the other doesn't seem right to me.
I like that little green dude, They call him Boba Fett right? Yeah that's it he's great
Grogu choose beskar armor because that's where his heart is and abandon training like Luke did In Empire Strikes Back. While being With Mandalorian Grogu starts remember his training, like Luke said, He doesn't teach him. It's more like Grogu is remembering. And maybe then Grogu gets Yodas Lightsaber.
And he becomes Jedi Knight. Like Luke said, someones lifetime is just flash for a being that lives 900 years.
@@tylerdurden5303 I remember that star wars is a fairy tale for kids and has millions of plot holes
@@tylerdurden5303 Yeah, but that was coming from a guy that dealt in absolutes himself. He was fixed in the idea that Vader was not redeemable even after he died. You also do not know if Luke is doing this just to confirm where Grogu's heart is. We do not know, but I think Luke wants to distance himself from the old teachings. If you think about it, he is giving him the choice if he wants to train, unlike the old order that used to kidnap children and force them into that life by brainwashing them.
The clones storming the temple were Anakin Skywalkers clones, the 501st. At this point Mace Windu had already fallen to Anakin as that took place before Anakin and his clones stormed the temple. Order 66 happened after the death of Windu
@@Kairikka no he didn't unless it was games not canon.
@@solisprime2669 What? They weren't wrong at all lol. Anakin stormed the Jedi Temple in the movie with the 501st after killing Mace Windu prior in Palpatine's office and was literally the catalyst for Order 66. That's canon and been the case since 2005.

In TFA, we wanted Luke as an Exmachina, we got that in Mandalorian S2 Finale.
In TLJ, we want to see Luke as a teacher. We see that in this episode of Book of Boba.
i honestly hate this trend that disney is doing, they dont do their characters justice in their own series then proceeds to make them super badass in someone else's show. Boba in his own show is nowhere near as badass as when he was in Mandalorian
@@MetalGearBronya trend..? They've had two live action shows

@@Lightguardian_HOH
It's been 3 years and you're still triggered so much by a (completely true) comment? Grow the f**k up
I personally really appreciated Ray’s perspective on the episode. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if he joined in for the finale review. Also, I would love to hear Alex’s thoughts on it. Is there a possibility to hear them at the beginning of the finale review?
I second this, i would like to hear Alex's opinion of episode 6 also. He is like the food critique of games and media. Love his take on things.
Let's get them both in here
Alex waaaay to critical imo, obviously don’t mind him as a person but he nit picks too mucg
Just imagine a very cynical and negative perspective. There--now you have Alex's take.
It doesn't really make sense though when he gave the episode all praise with no criticism then rated it 7/10?
This was exactly what we all wanted from the sequels, Luke training the next Jedi and not being a grumpy old man.
Was also hoping to see some Kylo dark side training as well.
@@CheefChaos nope
Except this very episode demonstrates WHY he became a "grumpy old man".
I hate Kylo and his entire arc. I hope they do the rest of this story justice but end before they get to the Disney Trilogy era since there is nothing to redeem from that story arc
Well to be fair we saw him after his attempts at training the new generation of Jedi failed. I'd be grumpy too if my failure led to the new sith order
Djinn Djarin has just became more engrained in Star Wars lore than Rey or Kylo could in 3 feature-length films!!! What an episode, amazing how great Luke was. Literally cried when I saw him at first giving lessons to Grogu and speaking of Yoda. Never stay down!
Came here to say the same thing. I watched Star Wars in the early 90s and this episode is everything I've wanted Star Wars to continue as after RotJ. Never thought I'd ever see Luke or Grogu again. This episode was amazing fan service and it was done in a way that pushes the narrative of the ENTIRE Star Wars canon.
To be fair, all the characters in the Sequel films were done a great disservice by the hands off approach by Disney and the producers. They never had a chance to be good because they were constantly being whipped back and forth into dumb story paths. Djinn has had a consistent tone because of Filloni and Favreau. This is the approach that should have been taken with the sequels, one director at the helm, with the same basic story in mind.
@@tbirdguy1 Didn't Disney retcon that trilogy or was that just a rumor? Anyway, I agree that with Force Awakens I was a little iffy, but I thought "maybe theres a reason for the things that happened," but nothing paid off and things just snowballed and got worse. I was totally into Luke's story and wanted to see it continue, but it didn't until now (even not focused on him, we still get to see what hes up to and whats happening. And its canon, not just fan fiction.)
@@certified_casual Didn’t think we’d see them again, and this episode would make me surprised if they don’t come back.

I still need an hour long episode of just Ahsoka and Luke talking about Anakin
@Nump I know 😭 I need how like in Loki we would get just therapy sessions I need that for Luke and Ahsoka because Luke only knew Vader and Ahsoka knew Anakin
I was 15 when Empire came out in 1980, a high school freshamn. Watching Luke train in this episode, especially his flip with Grogu on his back, hit hard in the feels. I was watching it with my 14yo son and seeing that made me suddenly remember sitting in the theater watching Empire for the first time and being absolutely enraptured by it.
Indeed I was 11 when Empire came out this was a perfect episode for fans and you get experience that joy again is astonishing
Joe, we need more ray, what a great addition to the crew. Calming voice, good insight and just seems like a good dude.
I thought this as well, reallly liked his contributions, even if he'd only seen 2 episodes (1 and 5 for some reason!)
Need: "Other Joe and Ray watch the Clone Wars"
I would sub to that!
It definitely would be a good addition to add him in. I don't want anyone to be replaced tho. The more the merrier
Yes, please bring Ray back!
This is the first time I've ever seen Ray and I like him. I wouldn't mind at all if he showed up more often
Seeing clone troopers in practical armor rather than cgi was something I didn't know I wanted so bad until I got it
Not just any troops, they are from the 501'st - Anakin/Vaders own legion.
I got chills when Ahsoka said to Luke “so much like your father”

Just seeing Cad Bane in live-action made me go crazy with so many emotions all at once, I couldnt believe it actually happened. Watching the Clone Wars when it was airing Cad Bane was my favorite bounty hunter for years waiting for Season 7 to see some of that cut content only to never get it was disappointing. But when the Bad Batch happened and when he returned after so many years of nothing was truly something special and was easily easing us back into his live-action debut, I was filled with so much emotion, as soon as I saw the hat it was all over for me.
They made it in such a badass way too. Love the way he entered like a western movie. He is the first person I would think of too who would work for the cyndacite. It also sets him up for a villain in the ahsoka show. Depending on what happens in the final episode. Whatever happens this is the best of Disney star wars by far and whoever is in charge needs to stay!
When I saw him walking in the distance at first I thought it was a sith, until I saw the hat and duster lol Such a good entrance for a character everyone wanted to see for so long. I really wanna pat the directors on the back for how they handled it

@@Max-zg6ld is this confirmed? If so doesn't mean he can't be in it either. He's a major villain to ahsoka from the clone wars and would fit perfectly.
It makes sense that he gives Grogu chainmail instead of plates of armor. Having armor he can wear under his robes means people won’t be able to see he’s wearing beskar and try to kill him for it like we saw in the first 2 seasons of The Mandalorian. Plus It’s lighter for his tiny body to move around in.
Except, he won't stay that size, it doesn't make sense to give anyone still growing armour that is not adjustable.
@@weareharbinger914 I think it’s because Grogu is gonna stay that small for a lot longer of his life. I’m not Star Wars savy but I’m pretty sure that race lives a long time and take a while to grow up.

They hired the dude that made a better cgi version of Luke that he then posted on youtube. He made a side by side video of the original cgi and his version.

I feel like Luke is most definitely going to give both in the end. I think he's teaching him attachment is fine but be prepared to let go. Ashoka mentions Luke's father and I think that got Luke really thinking
I wish this how it will go but ultimately Luke doesn't learn from the mistakes of the past Jedi. He just repeats them all over again. We're not heading to a Master Luke who makes something new, we're heading to Hermit Luke.
Jedi are dogmatic and pragmatic, if they weren’t sith wouldn’t exist and palpatine wouldn’t have ever gained power. If you practice Jedi teachings you’re repeating the sins of the past. I highly doubt Luke has learned but I hope he has.

@@raphaeldias5502 it’s a little more nuanced than that, anakin’s fall can’t be simplified into “he was a fearful person in a place of power.” That makes him sound like hitler or something. His story is much more emotionally felt, much of the reason everything happens is because of the Jedi and the way they treat anakin. Like how yoda tells him just to forget his mother and let go of all attachments, yet it’s proven he should’ve done something sooner because he finds her as she’s dying.
@@ItachiUchiha-69 Yoda taught anakin to let go. He knew how hard his life was, and saw that he needed to be less passionate. It's not like he is "hitler", he was a tragic person, someone who showed promise but eventually gave up to fear and anger.

Grogu's training and speed of learning is valid, cuz in the Mandalorian it was established that he was trained for years in the Temple, and now Luke mentioned that its not that Grogu learns this fas, its more like he remembers how to do things...
so they covered all the bases.. unlike in a certain movie where we go from 0 to hero in a few days span...
Well, he levitated a mudhorn when he needed to, but he could barely levitate a shifter knob on someone elses say-so. So I'd say they've been pretty consistent. They even said that he suppressed his abilities, out of fear
You see the thing about Rey was she was naturally good at everything but her only struggle was finding out who she was in the galaxy. This was literally the directors take from it... She wasnt a terrible unlikeable character, she was just written soooo lazily. Like it should be illegal to make a main character like her lol
@@lucidsage3494 Agreed. Rey COULD have been something amazing, but the execution, especially from the writing, was shoddy and lazy. The entire sequel trilogy was a disjointed mess all around. My thoughts right now? Give Bryce Dallas Howard her own series or trilogy, and let Dave Filoni do whatever the hell he wants haha. Hell, let him retcon the damn sequels. Even keep the characters. He and Jon Favreau could probably do them all better.
@@ashscott6068 i was tring to make the point , that in a certain subpar trilogy, they written a certain character so badly that you could not overlook it... but with Grogu we have established he had years of training, thus his fast pace of learning/remembering using the force, makes sense...
Ashoka showing up was one of the moments that hyped me up so much, because I wasn't expecting her there, and the thought of her interacting with Anakin's son was exciting
Can not be understating, I've always thought R2D2 is a hugely underrated bad ass. He has been there since the beginning in the prequels, he has saved both obi and Anakin many times, saved luke and continues to LIVE on his memory never wiped out. He probably has Holo recordings of Anakin murdering kids. I love that we now have Ahsoka so intertwined with star wars and an absolutely beautiful story arc.

Boba became a side character in his own damn show. They half-assed two Boba Fett stories into one and halfway through the season ditched him almost entirely to enter Mandalorian Season 3 Prologue lmao
It feels like Star Wars is back! The Mandalorian is once again uniting the fan base, Skywalker Saga coming in 2 months which looks incredible, and they said that Fallen Order 2 might release at the end of the year
Not to mention Kenobi and Ahsoka
Star Wars never died lol
I think after Boba series, they should just make a Book of Star Wars.
Not all of the characters can handle a series of their own, but each of them together can do amazing things !
This episode is literally some of the coolest Star Wars content. Ever. Period.
Agreed. This is the way
better than the holiday special?
@@HerkNewz69 wrong
AT-ST! AT-ST! DARTH VADER!
@@HerkNewz69 I wish man, maybe we could love the sequels if that was the case
I just have to say that Episode 6 was better than anything that Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker EVER gave us. It's insane to me that they ever happened the way they did!
I mean that's a pretty low bar man 😅👍
The Cad Bane introduction had me so damn hyped. Can't believe they nailed him so well!
I wanted him so bad to say
"No one messes with Cad Bane"
And he's straight up old. Duros only live till like 80. Beware the elderly in a profession that expects you to die young.
So he often wastes long amounts of time walking great distances through the desert?
What an idiot.
Cad bane is one of my favorite characters i do not like how he looks in live-action even his personality is different 😑👎!!!!!!!!!
I love Boba Fett's cameo in this episode. But seriously, this was an amazing episode 👏 . Loved it!
Ray is a good addition to your crew. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective and his rating of this episode is totally respectable. Hope he is able to join you three for future reviews.
How is a 7/10 for one of the best Star Wars experiences ever respectable lol, deserves no less than a 9.
@@bassmasta93 because thats his opinion? I agree its easily a 9 or id go as far as a 10 for me personally. but just because he doesn't have the same stance as us, doesnt mean he's completely unrespectable. when you look at this episode as a boba fett fan this episode is disappointing. the show is called book of boba fett yet the past 2 episodes have had next to or zero appearances of him. and for people who have been waiting for this for decades (myself included) just to see it fall flat, then spend the rest of the show not even redeeming it. atleast for boba. so I can see how people would look at these 2 awesome episodes and be disappointed as a boba fan.
@@JoeMama-qt5go that’s fair, I just think after the disappointment of the sequels, this is amazing and what we have wanted.
It doesn’t bother me that this episode took place during the book of boba, I am fairly certain that the mandalorian and boba and possibly even ahsoka will all be interconnected and we will see boba in mando s3, if we don’t see boba in mando though, that will be an issue.
Much better than alex
@@JoeMama-qt5go he did miss the context of the first 3 episodes
This episode was what most of us wanted to see in the sequel trilogy. We wanted to see the legacy of Star wars treated with respect and love. That's what we finally got here.
but it's too late, as cool as this is, how can we enjoy it knowing how it ends? Luke betrays everyone, tries to kill his nephew, abandons his family and dies alone on an island, the lone survivor is rey palpatine. They should leave Luke out of it. What is done is done.

As someone who grew up with Clone Wars seeing live action Ahsoka sharing the same screen with Luke Skywalker made me emotional.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Ray more on the show he seems like a chill ass dude
I like Ray's spirit. I also haven't seen all of clone wars or the animateds so I'm glad I'm not tuning in for the boba and mandolorians just yet.
Omg finish up then watch the mandalorian then go to book of Boba fett and go to episodes 5 and 6
If you are getting in to star wars this late in your life. Which depends on how old you are. I doubt you will get any more excited then the fanatics. Most fans I know been following star wars at a early age. I am 38 years old and I saw star wars at 7 and it was my favorite movie of all time and followed it since then. So all I can say is the most of hype comes from the biggest fans right now. Its still good but your perception of good maybe different from others, kind of how like Rays was. But Mandalorian Season 2 and Boba Fett has been doing huge fan service finally and people are now freaking out. So if you don't follow star wars that much, your perception maybe different.
Even if you didn’t still got a badass western scene
DUDE! GET WITH IT OMG! 👍🏻❤️
Just look up Cad Banes coolest moments it'll give you some idea of how badass Cad Bane actually is. Fought 2 Jedis and almost won
I had tears of joy when when Ashoka spoke about anakin, and omg order 66 flashback and cad bane in live action!! This episode was pure insanity and amazing I truly can’t wait for the finale now.
Meh those regards fighting the clones didn’t know how to force push. Show was a 3/5
First time seeing Live Action Clones since 2005. Pure nostalgia.
Definitely
They looked like they were real costumes too compared to the movies where I believe all of it was CGI. Could be CGI again but it looked clean.
@@cpolonium1121 I think it was CGI but technology is so good now it’s hard to tell
@@cpolonium1121 Never understood why Lucas choose CGI for the clones when he could have used guys in armour so easely...I mean it worked for the stormtroopers.
@@cpolonium1121 Your right, they never even built a single wearable suit for the prequels. They probably were just CGI since it’s pretty unlikely they’d make costumes for such a small scene. If you watch Mando Season one you can see they even had trouble making the Stormtrooper Costumes. They look off, for example they all look like they had gamer neck. Its pretty funny how the 501st fan legion had better costumes. So yeah it was prob CGI.
Just a little note Joe
- we actually CAN tell that it was the Jedi temple on coruscant that was being attacked in the flashback because of the clone troopers. They had blue armor signifying them as anakins 501st division that raided the Jedi temple. So if we see any more of that scene we could Potentially see ANAKIN.
Came to that conclusion when seeing the episode, great detail made there which some of my friends missed.
And with Anakin returning in the Ahsoka series, I bet more holes to be filled there
@@MzkZP Is he really????
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln hes actually returning as Darth Vader in the upcoming Obi Wan series and yes he is in Ahsoka as well
@@MzkZP Daaaaaang NICE! I wonder how they'll do the voice
After Episode 5, I was really hoping Boba Fett would make a cameo in the new Boba Fett series…
Gotta love Boba's cameo in his own show. 10/10 Boba moment.
Nah boba fett is shit in this show. I could take a shit on his character and that would have more views than his actual screen time on the show. Not an assumption, but a fact.
I love the idea that Boba stole alot of Mando's thunder in his season 2, and now Mando is getting revenge by just straight up taking Boba's show from him.
This was my favorite episode of any Star Wars thing ever, I got emotional watching Ahsoka talking with Mando and I lost my mind with her in the same scene as Luke F****** Skywalker! The Cad Bane intro was PERFECT! When Luke did the flip with the child on his back! I can't believe Dave Filoni gave us so much of what people were expecting in Season 3 of Mando. This episode had so much fan service but I loved every second of it! I don't care about Boba Fett or his Cyberpunk Power Ranger gang just give me more Mando and Grogu! 10/10!!!!
11/10 for me and I second and third everything you said!!
@@Maxrepfitgm it would’ve been 11/10 for me too if Boba and the gang DIDN’T make an cameo appearance! I don’t want to be reminded that I’m watching an inferior tv series from the Mando!
@@TooLiveChris LMao 🤣 😂 can't argue that point lol
Was anyone else annoyed with Luke's ultimatum to Grogu?
I mean come on Luke, you of all people should realize that the whole letting go of attachment attitude with Jedi is stupid. Grogu can care about Din and Din can care about Grogu.
If you want to forbid attachment, you should never have tried to save your father Luke.
I have the same thoughts so far. But until I see the final episode, I cannot know for sure that Luke isn’t just saying some of that to test Grogu in some way (like seeing if he defies the choice and picks both, who Grogu prefers to be with in general, etc.).
Grogu is like 6 months old in his lifetime. He understands nothing. It's idiotic to even be training him. And Wtf has Luke been doing with him in the interim since the last Mandalorian episode? It seemed like he decided to teach the basics over when Din showed up. This entire series is fucking stupid.
@@f1jones544 you’re kinda just
Complaining bro it’s really not that dumb
Thank you!!!! I’ve been saying this since the episode aired!!!!
I feel exactly the same way.
I watched Return of the Jedi when I was 7yo (until 1984 because México), after that there was and emptiness of SW that was never properly filled with films like Ewoks or the animated Droids and Ewoks series, then we got several years after the prequels(we all remember how that went), and I just wanted to see how Luke managed Yoda's wishes for him to continue the Jedi Order, finally we got the awful approach with the sequel trilogy, I felt that SW was over for me, until The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 and specifically last Episode of Boba Fett series. Thank you Dave and Jon. The only way I got to see all of these was in my mind and with my action SW figures in my childhood.
You are HEAVILY missing out if you haven't played KOTOR. Those 2 games are better than any of the films. Also the 2D clone wars series was amazing.
@@Walamonga1313 i totally get what you mean, but i was never a gamer nor a deep fan of the extended universe, i was just a kid with his toys in the late 80s guessing what in the world happened with his hero Luke Skywalker and his friends. But maybe you are right.
@@Walamonga1313 i did watched the clone wars animated series on cartoon network, love it.
I was never that attached to luke as a character, i loved the original trilogy for the experience but the characters weren't my thing. Not until force unleashed did i find a starwars character that i resonated with. Seeing luke in this episode finally made me understand why people were angry at the utter disrespect he was treated with in the disney movies. I understand that this is the luke we should have gotten in the movies. Goddamnit disney.....
I’m glad you now see the light 😂
Yes exactly. Glad you understand
Dude I had the exact same revelation. Seeing how great he is in these episodes but knowing what is to come later with Luke makes me so sad. I just want more of this Luke. Like I’d kill for an entire series
@@dabearsfan9 thats why i dont consider the sequels real, these stories are after 6 that continue the story, what happens after doesnt matter
Seeing Star Wars with today's technology is amazing, especially when it actually treats the characters with respect and follows up on what they had going on. I was also not very attached, but this and games like Jedi Academy really show what SW is capable of.
Cad Bane took me totally by surprise, which just made it that much more awesome. The actor did a great job too, he moves with the same cadence that Bane often did in the Clone Wars. I really hope that isn’t all we’ll see of him.
Also, did anyone else see a little bit of Hayden Christianson in Luke’s face at some points? Really cool detail if so.
It helps that it's the same original voice actor!
Cad bane is voiced by the same voice actor in the clone wars,
Its Corey burton😍🤯
It was probably the original voice actor as the cartoons.
This one episode did more than a sequel trilogy and 2 spin-offs movies could in terms of lore, excitement, and revitalizing interest in this IP
You can see Cobb’s reaction when he realized who Chad Bane was.
“OH SHIT ITS CAD BANE.”
I dont think he knew who cad bane was
@@sorinxox I agree.
He didn't know who he was
@@sorinxox I think so too. I think Cads Expression scared him more. He knew instantly that it was gonna get serious.
Ray has such a positive and happy going personality. Would love to see more of him in future videos!
Also an amazing voice, holy shit
Still full love for Alex. And yes Ray is great. More guest appearances and full panels with him are most welcome.
Yeah but I want Alex too. Don't get rid of Alex! :(
@@ethanrios7414 Well of course not, Alex is a vital part of AJS. I would just like to have Ray perhaps be added to the crew in a way.
I loved Ray. You should invite him more often
He definitely brings in a different energy. I'm enjoying some dudes talking star wars and not so much of pessimist nitpick remarks from Alex
Additional questions that I have:
-Will there be another appearance of the Hutts in the finale?
-Will we see any more cameos? Maybe Han?
-Will Boba decide he doesn’t want to be in charge anymore? Especially after the end of Ep 6.
-Will other bounty hunters like Dengar, Bossk, or IG88 appear as additional muscle for Boba?
-Will Luke relent and let Grogu stay as an apprentice even though he chooses the chainmail?
So many possibilities.
One final thought, I am more interested in this one episode than I was for TLJ or ROS. Hands down. The ST really does suck.
I think the Hutts are done for now, probably going to focus on the Pykes
Cameos, I think we might see some bounty hunters like Bossk and Dengar, but I feel like the Pykes are going to hire them. As for Han, I think it’d most likely be a mention rather than seeing him
I doubt Harrison ford will ever play Han again but damn do i wish he would. He's the reason i liked star wars to begin with as a kid. Cantina scene is too damn cool
That last scene. when you see a blurry silhouette in the distance, and you get chills because you know exactly whats coming is how you know you are doing things right.
And when you unbadass one of the most badass characters ever to the point every fucking character that appears on screen gets a better reception is when you should realize, you have done something wrong.
For those who might not have caught on, this effectively, just retconned the sequel trilogy. Not really retconned, but puts it into a different time line. This will never end up becoming the end of the Jedi or Luke becoming a hermit. In fact you can trace the retcon back to the end of Mando season 2, but the info they have presented in Book of Boba, just confirmed and reinforced it. Dave and Jon as a Star Wars writers, knows that, "This is the Way".
I also have to mention, they did a really good job with Luke this time around, compared to the deep fake used at the end of Mando S2.
I was hoping that was the case but I don't think so because unless they make grogu Luke's first apprentice we are unfortunately still on track for Ben to be his first and continue that terrible story line.
Grogu is going to reject Luke’s way of the jedi and won’t actually become the first full apprentice. Instead he’ll go with Mando and find his own way with the force.
I was also hurt by the sequels. I grew up with all Star Wars. My parents let me watch a new hope and I was enthralled. I watched them all over and over again then watched the clone wars and I loved the clone wars, when I saw cad bane, I was like, marshal, don’t draw, you won’t live man
Boba going back to his roots and hardly getting any screen time, you got to love it
Imagine if the final episode reveals that this Boba was a changeling imposter, real Boba from Mando season 2 shows up and wrecks house 😂
Ep6 was some of the best Star Wars content ever made. It fulfilled some lifelong hopes and dreams of mine regarding Luke and jedi training. Even if the overall series ends up being garbage we will still have the gems of episode 5 and 6
I really enjoyed the Boba Fett cameo in this episode.
What you said Joe at 27:39 is SPOT ON. I thought of the same thing too. I’m pretty sure he’s standing in the same exact corner as boba did so many years ago.
I feel like ALL of our fathers are Boba Fett fans and now the newer generation from ages 10-20 and maybe 30 are Din Djarin fans.
Me and my dad are actually getting tattoos and my dad is getting bobas logo and im getting Dins mud horn one. Im super excited and would be awesome for us to bond over something we both love
Ray a cool dude gotta have him join the crew for later reviews and videos
An insane episode!!! Also cool to see Ray more on the channel, such a chill dude!
Not insane, more meh. 3/5 if we’re being honest.
Of course Grogu is gonna go with the Mandolorian, remember that lady, cleared out the r2d2 dock port on the naboo fighter, which has a transparent dome on it, it's obviously built for Grogu :)
Man I rarely get emotional but the scene when Din Djarin was conflicted, if he should personally go to Grogu or not, got my eyes tearing up.
That's because you can tell Dinn is breathing heavily under his armor which implies he's anxious about getting to see Grogu. Amazing emoting by Pedro Pascal. I felt that
@@Arredo515 yes! Amazing what a crack in a voice can do to a situation. "But I came all this way"....Noooooo
I think Grogu is going to make a point in picking both the saber and the chainmail. I just can't see any other option per the story they are trying to write. If he picks the saber, it raises too many questions as to the events prior to Force Awakens as to why we don't see him among the dead, if he picks the chainmail, that could be seen as too obvious. He's too attached to Din to be a properly detached Jedi. If they want to make it a point of him becoming a Mandalorian Jedi, he'd have to pick both. It also solves the problem of how to help Din train with the Dark Saber-it isn't HEAVY in the traditional sense of the word; it's just fighting him because his heart isn't into it.
I think being with Grogu again, someone who's essentially become a son to him, would give him the clear head he needs to properly wield it. Grogu picking both would solve almost all writing issues or questions that this plot point of Grogu himself gives the writers. The sequels aren't inherently BAD MOVIES. They're very well made. Just poor Star Wars movies. I think it's important to show Luke as fallible. That he isn't perfect. After all isn't that what people complained about with Rey? That she was flawless? The plot points are all there, for a good story. It just needed to be buffed out. If OTHER SHOWS are how they can buff out the sequels I'm all for it. And the World Between Worlds EXISTS. It's right there. If Disney wants a restart....just make....a point in time....start a new timeline....almost like a Flashpoint per se.
I mean they have written themselves into a corner, and showing Luke hasn't really learned anything from his time as a Jedi. He's making the same mistakes the Order did by trying to force this attachment issue, and it's his attachment to Darth Vader that ultimately saved the life of his friends, his own life, and the Galaxy. You would hope that might be a wake up call to him. I agree overall, I hope Grogu chooses both.
@UCkQmJVW8KSxsk6oz0lNOyOA I agree you'd think Luke would know better, but those who don't know or learn their history, are doomed to repeat it. Luke was taught by Yoda, who was taught about the whole no attachment rule. Yoda AND OBI-WAN both were like "NO DON'T SAVE YOUR FRIENDS YOU WILL DIE." but Luke ditched them for his friends. It was his attachment to Ben that ultimately saved Ben's life and saved Luke from making a TERRIBLE mistake. He really is too much like his father. Like Anakin, Luke acted out on a vision that was never complete-Anakin never saw the outcome of Padme's fate, just that she COULD die, and much like Anakin, Luke never saw the outcome of Ben's fate, just what COULD happen. And I like writing like that. Stuff that shows, while we aren't our fathers, our ancestral lineage doesn't define us, sometimes...that bit of the past just can't be shaken. What makes Luke a great character is that he's imperfect-not just that he's a badass.
My guess, he will choose the chainmail, get shit on with Bobba and Djin by crimson dawn/pyke and understand he needs to train protecting him, so he returns back with Luke.
@@red244 Jedi dealt with attachment by suppressing love and emotion in general. Don't think Luke is doing that... and for starters gives the child a choice after taking him in.
Btw, the choice seems taken from Lone Wolf and Cub, when Itto puts a sword and a toy (I think) in front of his son: if he chooses the toy he'll kill him (send him to his mother in heaven), by choosing the sword he takes him with him.
Force Awaken is decent for what it is.. It's the other two that are pretty terrible.. I mean rise of skywalker is such a mess..
My reaction when i saw Grogu's armor: "Behold.. Mithril.. Can stop any blade.. Made by the elves in fact!"
Same lmao. I was watching the series with my dad and he literally said Mithril out loud
Lol I watched it with my mom and we both thought it looked like mithril.
It was the Star Wars episode I remember HOPING we would have in my deep future when I was reading all of those crazy comic book expansions that came out in 1977 and 1978. It is the FIRST TIME I have felt that since 1983. It almost put me to tears.
Seems like star wars seemed to struggle to fulfill it's full potential after episode 5 even though we got decent if not pretty good media in general here in there over the decades. With the mandolorian and now the book of boba fett, we finally see star wars at it's very best and it feels good that we all get see this franchise at it's full potential along with the respect and care it deserves.
@@justanotherperson7774
Mando and bobba fett are not even the best I would say that would be the clone wars. Even in this episoide, half the hype revolved around the live action depictions of characters that started out in the clone wars .
@@a.d8509
I meant the shows themselves
Episodes 5 and 6 leave me so conflicted. So happy that Star Wars is bouncing back hardcore, but so depressed that Boba Fett is being shunted to the side the moment he finally has the opportunity to shine :(
My current hope is that they decided to use these two episodes in order to take a step back and re-evaluate their approach to Boba Fett based on fan feedback, and are probably going to explore more of Fett later after BoBF is done or its next season or whatever comes thereafter. That is my HOPE. I am prolly wrong. I really hope they do not have Mando take out Cad Bane. That would be such a disservice to the Boba v Cad Bane plotline that has been around for years.
They had a chance and wasted 4 episodes to do nothing. Very unfortunate
They should have just focused a few episodes with Boba with the Tuskens leading up to his rise of power rather have flashbacks
@@SwaggerLikeUz Please dear god let it be like this where it is slow introduction and Boba Fett actually has some real hardhitting moments later down the line.
I don't want him to be sidelined as the background godfather after accomplishing so little :c
@@JustSomeDinosaurPerson I feel like he's trying to do things differently than how he usually has but with the constant other provinces or crime lords constantly back stabbing him, he will realize, it won't work and just obliterate everyone.
Don't blame the writers the actor playing Bobba said he didn't wanna do much active parts so it's probably just been made for the fans to close his chapter
I honestly think the show is really good. I've watched star wars since the 80s, and I'm really happy to see Fett fleshed out some. So what if Mando and Luke, along with Asoka are in it. Adds to the lore
What do you mean so what? They have no problem as those are the best parts of the show, they have problems with Boba having no spine and always doing what his opponents want
I've seen criticism about bringing in so many characters from extended lore like Ahsoka and others from Clone Wars, saying that SW will never succeed if it just relies on characters only hardcore fans recognize. For a while, I started question how true that was because while I was happy to see some familiar faces, I wondered what it was like for someone who wasn't familiar with cartoons and comics.
Well this show switched things up for me with Black K, because I had NO IDEA he was from extended universe material. Not one idea. I thought he was brand new, but I was so impressed when he first showed up with the Hutts that I immediately wanted MORE of him. I absolutely loved how cool and scary he seemed. And then I found out he was from the comics, but realized I finally felt that from the POV of someone unfamiliar with a pre-existing character. And it still worked, because if a character is done well regardless, you'll end up being excited to see more of them, and then learn about them if they were from something else.
Fair point. I also liked seeing Back K, if only because a Wookie enforcer/bounty hunter is a cool concept and he's fun in the show.
However, I'd argue that introducing characters like Cad Bane, who I had no idea as to who he was until I watched a review where he was named, in the way that this episode did, is a bad way to do it. It just leaves people confused and annoyed that there's stuff from the Clone Wars being introduced that some people haven't watched before. I've only seen a few episodes of that and Rebels here or there. I'm NOT a hard core Star Wars fan. All I've seen are the movies and the live-action TV shows. Sure, I've read a few books and played a few games, but they're mostly all standalone and don't require any other information to properly enjoy them, apart from the basics.
I'm genuinely happy that people are enjoying this show more now. I just wish it was done in a more general way so that everyone could enjoy it and not just Star Wars superfans :)
Facts!!
@@jeremyadler9620 I think its still really good if u dont know much about star wars because Black K/Cad Bane/Ahsoka are really cool in the series and youre intrigued to learn more. Its not as good as for a hardcore fan but still good and they could possibly explain these characters and/or do more of them going forward that is still good without knowing backstory
@@thanos2715, That's possible, I guess. We'll just have to wait and see :)
@@jeremyadler9620 I think, while Luke was a nice inclusion in the episode (and a necessary one), overall Star Wars needs to stop relying on the tried and true characters and make way for new characters outside the core films, just because the lore is so expansive.

I like this Ray guy's inclusion in this episode. Would have liked to see Alex's take on this episode!

I never expected them to go all out in this one episode in the middle of book of boba fett, but I don’t mind at all. IT WAS AMAZING. When Luke was looking across the land with Grogu and the Star Wars theme started going, I almost cried
ALMOST..... I was in full rivers of tears at that time....
I like how each series is not afraid to focus on other characters. Seems natural to me as a clone wars cartoon fan
me too
Yup
For the most part, the Clone Wars had full seasons, not just 7 episodes that was telling one narrative arch before turning on a dime 60% of the way through.
That's star wars for you. Lucas found the perfect way to display the overall plot while also including sub plots that add to the overall.
@@f1jones544 As a fan in general when there's a cast established in any series they become a collective part of the overall story. Mando is the flagship franchise then theres BOBF & Ahsoka (The spin offs).
Thus Its not unusual to see episodes which feature those various cast member's sub plots.
I think it's all on purpose. This entire show has been Boba trying to walk the wrong path. I'm hoping that the realization happens in the last episode and he puts the helmet back on for good
You sweet summer child, they did Boba dirty because they ripped off his character with Mando and they can't have him be Boba because they already did it with Mando.
"This entire show has been Boba trying to walk the wrong path" No they literally WANT him to be inferior and a bumbling idiot... my guess is so his bodyguard can take over as the strong competent leader.
Sorry to be a downer but I know a lot about the production being rushed and even the actors where calling this shit out for "not being in character" and it's was literally being written on the fly as they shot it and is/was undergoing massive reshoots to try and salvage it.
As soon as I saw that wide brimmed hat I knew exactly who was going to walk up. This man was capable of going toe to toe with some of the best Jedi's in the order daily. This threat is actually huge.
Same, the very first shot of him walking up, I knew it was him.
And yet, I feel the hat's brim wasn't wide enough. 🤔 That's probably my only complaint when it comes to Cad Bane's live-action interpretation.
28:09 you're absolutely right OJ, I think it should have been the first episodes of the mandalorian s03, it just feels strange this being in book of boba fett despite that they are really good episodes.
@Aschooner Matata Actually yes,I can believe that.
these are taken out of mandalorian season 3
It’s funny since they should’ve just made the post ROTJ shows into one anthology show like the clone wars and it would’ve made them putting things like this make sense. They probably didn’t think of it.
Funny how when you give fans what they want, they tend to respond positively. *COUGHS* sequel trilogy *COUGHS*
Please bring Ray back for reviews, you guys are having so much fun together!! ❤️
Yea
This episode….. jus brought the feels….I’m such a goddamn emotional nostalgic homer. So good 😊
And nice surprise to see Ray here. It’s almost like in school when you get the cool substitute teacher for a day. Hope to see him along with the other 3 in more videos.
✌🏻
It worked.
The ones that didn’t watch the clone wars series are really missing out on one of the best content star wars has to offer .
I like Ray, I hope he decides to do more with the Angry Team in the future
Can we just as a community retcon episode 7-9 and pretend that the Mandalorian and book of Boba are the newest adaptations to the Star Wars films. This way we really don't know how Luke Skywalker will become has a Jedi Master, instead of that old grouchy Jedi Master we got in 8-9.
You should try a AJ, OJ, Alex and Ray... 2 people in each frame and hash out a show episode. The chill, not a super fan dynamic is actually really nice for someone like me that doesnt know a ton about starwars but liked the mandalorian
Dave Filloni is proving what every fan of the animations always said: give him the franchise he knows these characters and he knows what he's doing, he just fucking understands Star Wars, fuck imagine what could've been if he was in charge of the sequels but no what we've got was all the Kathleen "The Force is Female" kennedy bullshit.
Seeing clones in live action again was awesome.
One day hoping for a republic commando live action series🙌🏻
Seeing the young Skywalker again was awesome, and sad. Knowing what a complete failure he became as a Master Jedi just hurts. I'm working on concentrating on this time-line and forgetting the awful future that the franchise gave us. Regarding the Choice- I thought it was perfect. Better for Luke to know now, instead of later. I'm pretty sure Groku chooses the chain mail, and I'm ok if that happens. Amazing episode- sorry it ended with the Marshall getting killed/hurt.
This episode was unbelievable, every star wars fan should love this.
I’m a casual fan and I loved it
Tell me, what is there to love about this show? The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are only just shows where they shove in as many cameo's into as possible and pass that off as story telling
@@cheeto6057 You really hate this two shows... right? i just need to know... you like the sequel?
@@Martin-zg7hx All Disney Star Wars content is atrocious
@The Rotten💯 not trolling at all. go ahead and explain why this episode/show is well written and quality storytelling.
I think it's obvious that Grogu is going to choose the armor, there's literally a spot for him on Din's starfighter. I think Grogu is going to wield the darksaber not Din
Cool idea and I agree with the ship seat being done for him too
There's no way Grogu wields the Darksaber, for a few reasons.
Firstly, Din gave his previous melee weapon away to be turned into armor this is his new one now. Secondly, you can't just take the darksaber, you need to defeat your foe in battle, I don't really see grogu fighting Din like that. Thirdly, isn't it like prophecy that a mandalorian would save mandalor by wielding the darksaber? Din has to go underneath the wreckage to attone for taking his helmet off still. And Lastly, I think the darksaber is WAY too large for Grogu, there's no way he's swinging that thing around, he would need yoda's saber if anything.
The clones were the 501st legion (anakin’s) too, which I thought was incredible!
Nobody messes with the 501st
The 501st fisting Vader enemies.
Would have been weird to see other clones in the temple
This episode was just fantastic and awesome. This is the way. I loved seeing Din, I loved seeing Luke, Grogu, and Ashoka and it was just beautiful.
