Condolences.
@EspioReitz Cutie
@EspioReitz Joking around, and maybe it was late, but I honestly think the guy in the photo close to the end of the video was attractive. May as well say so.
I love Mando Batmaning his way to Bill Burr's character so so very much.
I especially love his realization that he's done, and the delivery of "Nooooooooo--"
“NOO-“
And I love your use of the technical term "Batmanning,"
"WHAT ARE YOU?!?!"
"............ I'm Mando.
seriously, we just met each other this morning and talked on the ship the whole time, do you not remember?"
How dare you insinuate Din isn’t Batman
This entire episode was blatantly just someone's tabletop roleplaying game put on the screen and I kind of love it.
Yeah, nice to see Star Wars at least be fun again.
Watch Community, advanced dungeons and dragons
This was how a lot of the short stories from the old Extended Universe were written, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case here.
You guys like this episode you should look into the Fantasy Flight Star Wars system. There's three books: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny. Each one has different themes to fit multiple styles of play. This episode specifically would be more an Edge of the Empire setting, which involves smugglers, bounty hunters, and basically your average criminal-types that live in the Outer Rim.
I could even point out specific character builds you could use to make each of these characters in that game. And you can, in fact, make them all, with all the abilities displayed in the episode, including the -stormtrooper's- mechanical mounted blaster, the Devaronian's high resilience and brawn, the droid piloting the ship through a slicing port instead of with the controls... It's *all there*.
@@CanisMythson Dude, if we're all saying "Hey this looks like an episode from a tabletop RPG" then it's safe to say we're familiar with the Star Wars tabletop RPGs. If we weren't we wouldn't have noticed the similarities.
Two things I took away from StarWars this year:
1. Starwars is not outdated and new and exciting stores are absolutely plausible
2. Starwars would be better handled as a series of unique stories rather than grand arcs
yeah, at least until they actually figure out a story that needs to be a 3 episode movie deal. but it is pretty sad that they barely touch the universe in the movies.
I strongly disagree, seeing Yoda fighting over the fate of the galaxy was pure Star Wars, and I would like to see more physical old grandmasters fighting about everything in a groundbreaking battle.
Please don’t get me wrong, the mandalorian worked, but it‘s slightly overrated and didn‘t fully make me thrill.
@@luclin92 What universe are you talking about? Putting X-wings, Tie-fighters and having lightsabers go swoosh isn't enough for the Space Opera that is Star Wars?
We all know worldbuilding and storylines are for nerds, nobody cares for a litteraly alien universe, we want humans dicking around through three movies and have only two of them even being relevant, as a love story of course!
@@rayvaasatlotld9357 The thing is, 'the grand scale stakes too high to lose' plot point has been done so many times at this point in this universe. It's really cool to see Star Wars thrive so well in a new environment. Don't get me wrong, I fall for every bit as cheesy as they make it. Even episode 9. But if the story is a failure, it weighs down the entire movie. Star Wars now has a spectrum of good and bad content ranging from epic to grounded.
Mando reminds me so much of Batman. He has so many different gadgets, he’s always 2 steps ahead of everyone , the way he just kicks everyone’s asses... And I love that!
Hello There
The way the Child softens him and makes him a better person reminds me of Batman and Robin. That's exactly how Dick Grayson affects Bruce Wayne.
Yeah, you’re not the only one. It’s honestly one of my big worries for the show, Mandalorians have always been “The Batman” of the Star Wars universe, doing with tech and clever thinking what Force-wielders would normally do.
And, like a lot of DC properties when it comes to Batman, its very easy for them to go “Well, their unique tech and clever thinking allows them to punch above their weight and that’s really impressive” to “BATMAN CAN EASILY KILL SUPERMAN EVERY SINGLE TIME BECAUSE HE’S THE SMARTEST PERSON EVER AND ALWAYS HAS KRYPTONITE” type annoyances.
One of the parts of the first season of Mandalorian I really enjoyed was how firmly the show skewed away from that. Mando got bodied a lot, he needed to be rescued a lot, he got fooled and tricked and overpowered plenty, even though he usually would come out ahead. He’s not some sort of flawless uber-badass, he’s a very competent, capable but still mortal person. I really hope they keep that up, showing him failing here and there helps his big successful moments stand out all the more.
It's why I'm making a Mandalorian Batman cosplay
@@rcbmmines4579 Funny you should say that as I'm making a Mandalorian Batman cosplay where Baby Yoda is Robin.
this episode showed the moral ground of Din Darjin. He tried to reason with the republic guard, and he didn't kill any of his crew members for the job even though they tried to.
I love moral hero leads... they're so few nowadays especially with most marvel heroes killing all their villains instantly.
This what i like about the writing of Din Djarin he is a well written character, tough, badass but he has a moral compass too. I just hope he doesnt get over-shadowed by all the familiar characters they bringing into season 2.
@Dave Skywalker Sorry could you elaborate more plz, what do you mean "Rogue One" scenario?
@Dave Skywalker Oh okay, i never actually noticed this was happening haha. I love both Rogue One and Din Djarin as "The Mandalorian", they are the only things that feel "Star Wars" to come out of Disney.
@@thispurplebeanYT the only one who didn't die was freaking Loki
Each Star Wars era improves upon the Mandolorian type character.
Boba: useless
Jango: Cool but doesn’t do much
Din: What boba should’ve been
@@hogndog2339 Now Boba looks cool and does stuff.
@@olivermaclean963 Hell fuckin yeah he does
It doesn't get much better than KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2. That was peak Mandalorian storyline. The sheer amount of history that came because of those games firmly established the Mandalorian way of life and their role in the galaxy.
@@olivermaclean963 this aged well
Filoni's first Star Wars show was set in the prequels era, he is known by many as the man who redeemed the prequels. Of course my man Dave would reference them.
I mean, prequel didn't need redeeming but he has earned that reputation. Respect to dave.
@@jamzy1837 agree
@@andyskyfall3891 No one is invincible. His Mandalorians are clearly still great warriors, but just because you're a great warrior, doesn't mean you can't have your ass beaten.
@@andyskyfall3891 completely agreed, just run with the characters having plot armour in the OT, don't canonise the bad aim. Rebels already did a good job of making the galaxy's most dangerous military look completely incompetent. Making their aim canonically terrible is such a bad idea. Mandalorian armour has already proven capable of withstanding some blaster bolts and with the amount these guys miss it's unrealistic they would be able to take out a group of the most feared warriors in the galaxy.
Also, just me or did that shooting joke go on wayyyyy too long- only to segway into child abuse.
I want to add, looking back on this comment, I do not hate star wars rebels. I enjoy it much like I enjoy clone wars or resistance. But stormtroopers look incompetent regardless.
"he is known by many as the man who redeemed the prequels"
no, he's not. The prequels are great on their own regardless of TCW. TCW is just prequel-story combined with good voice acting and no "bad" dialogue. That's why TCW is so good. It's the prequels minus all the "problems" the prequels had.
The way he destroyed the droids with hand-to-hand combat shows how much he hates them due to his childhood trauma
Vibroblades sooon
@@Bergja hopefully
@@melkor3496 hopefully? He has a vibroblade. He used it in the second episode to kill the Mudhorn
@@Bergja Ah I must have missed it.
@@melkor3496 watch the scene where he fights the Mandalorian in episode 3 while the armorer watches. As they hold their knifes to each other’s necks, you can see his vibroblade vibrating.
thats not 'mayfield', thats bill burr
i cannot see him as anyone other than himself
I know, same here. It kinda stinks but it's kinda awesome.
After escaping the prison he meets back up with his partner huell and together they helped the boss of the biggest blue spice dealer in the entire galxey and stashed his credits in the desert of tatooien
Yeah it’s literally just bill burr but it somehow works perfectly
As much as i liked his character in that episode of the Mando, i do wish they would have just covered his face and had him play somekind of alien race instead. It would have been enough for us to just know and hear that, that is Bill Burr underneath just like with Nick Nolte and his Uggnaut character.
I’ve never heard of him, guess I got lucky.
Everyone: "well thats its, after the Disney trilogy, Star Wars is dead. This was terrible."
The Mandalorian: "I didn't hear no bell"
That's a fun reference
*DAMN RIGHT !*
You get hounded for liking Revenge of the Sith? I thought you get hounded for saying you like Attack of the Clones more than The Phantom Menace.
Yea Attack of the Clones is def the least popular prequal
I prefer attack of the clones to the phantom menace.
@@wardjunior1450 same, Dooku is among one of the coolest characters in the prequels and Jango Fett was pretty cool
Revenge of the Sith is my personal favorite Star Wars movie. Other than the god-awful love scenes, it’s a solid film. Plus, with the final season of clone wars to watch with it, it elevates it to the goat status as far as I’m concerned.
Come on guys the prequels aren’t that terrible in retrospect
Imagine a rated R Star-wars movie just dedicated to 1 Mandalorian tracking 1 person down and annihilated everyone in his way like John Wick
Can’t wait to see how Clone Wars characters like Ahsoka and Bo-Katan fit into Season 2
I know, I can’t wait
And Boba fett.
It would be better with me on it though
@@RAJ07.1 True, everything is better with Obi Kenobi, but you would have to appear as a ghost then. Which would be great^^
@@datzfatz2368 Let’s do it
This is my favorite episode to because for once killing is not the response to every problem and explores the moral consequences for once in star wars
I'm almost sure there were lots of deaths at the end
Well he still got the station and everyone in it turned into space debris, the only reason the others lived is because they were on a prison ship and what could be more humiliating than putting them there?
he killed everyone he met except for the three people he worked with, and he imprisoned them. I think the guards at the prison will kill them aswell.
I mean it was the response to the station and his old "mentor", and he clearly intended for the others to die in the cold depths of space. He was surprised in Season 2 when he found out they were alive and in New Republic custody, lol.
12:40 I thought that forest being Mustafar was the stupidest thing ever too until I played Vader Immortal on the Occulus, where you return the life back to Mustafar which used to be a luscious forest planet like Endor’s moon. Yes it’s cannon. When you beat the game they even literally say that life returning to the planet will take a long time, explaining why it’s still smoky and red with skinny trees. I don’t think it’s fair you have to get a VR headset to learn about that but still.
Yeah but it is fairly obvious that calling that planet Mustafar in ROS was an afterthought.
I was with you right up until you tried to use disney "canon" as an argument.
@@Commander_Shepard. Except for the fact the space shot was clearly of Mustafar
@@Icybubba Obviously. I meant during when they were filming the scene. By the time they went to post production of cause they could add a Space shot of Mustafar
That's... one of the stupidest things I've heard in awhile. Life already existed on the planet, it being a lava world doesn't mean it's dead. Incredibly stupid decision tbh.
The Mandolorian gives me a sense of nostalgia for Star Wars that any of the sequel movies failed to do.
Because it was made by people who actually like Star Wars.
The prisoner feels like a classic TV episode. A short, condensed story that has a beginning, middle and end. Its not really pushing the main storyline forward. It really feels like I'm watching cable when I see this one, which is a huge achievement in a universe so heavily built on massive storylines. Really well done.
"embracing the past and carving a new and existing future" that perfectly describes the mandalorian
"Make sure you clean up your mess. - Mayfeld to Mando after the latter killed the droids singlehandedly
"Sorry about the mess."
- Han Solo to the droid-barring landlord after killing Greedo, tossing him a credit denomination
I did like this episode overall, but my main issue was the the crew all came across as morons for the entire first half. Compared to Mando's quiet professionalism, The big dumb guy, the crazy knife chick, and Bill burrs insecurity all meant they struggled to seem like they belonged in the same circles as Mando in terms of reputation and skill, and in turn meant there was very little tension regarding if Mando would be able to kick the shit out of them once they inevitably betrayed him. Obviously, they're not in the same league as Mando, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was made clear that there was a greater parity in skill and experience, rather then having an extremely proficient bounty hunter paired up with a group of nobodies.
You may think this episode was the best out of the Mandalorian and that it's what brings the fans together, but I disagree.
This episode to me was the most skippable one in my opinion because it deviated SO MUCH from the ongoing story and just felt wrong to me. You could cut it out of the series and it wouldn't change a thing. It felt like a bad attempt at some sort of Star Wars/Suicide Squad story. You are only representing HALF of the fanbase of this show (of any show actually) that love the more episodic episodes rather than the linear ones. Again it's just my opinion, and the opinion of others like me.
@@ellugerdelacruz2555 Actually this episode was one of my least favourites. A lot of people really disliked the Gunslinger but I actually enjoyed that more then this. I still enjoyed it over all and I don't think it was a terrible episode, just not as good as the incredibly high bar set by the first three and last two episodes.
@@fish7598 Yeah like, Maybe if they tied the Prisoner's plot with the main plot. Even the most episodic of episodes advance the main plot
The thing I hate about this episode is the fact that Mando didn't kill any of them. I feel like for a morally grey character, he should of killed these assholes
Yeah, I was just thinking they seem kinda goofy to me. At the start they seem fine, but as we continue you start to see that they're not as refined in a way as other bounty hunters we've seen. Or rather, I prefer or only like the more refined ones and that's why I didn't like this ep yh.
Finally, some more appreciation for episode 6! It’s an amazing episode with incredible music, set design, character design, world-building, cameos, action scenes, etc. Sure, there is some iffy acting but it’s not terrible and it’s very brief and excusable since it stems from weird character traits like the Twi-Lek’s hissing which is explainable in universe.
Honestly this was my favorite episode of the first season as well. This show really just feel like that pure old Star Wars feeling in the realm of a show that just makes me interested in this franchise again.
I remember before I went to see the rise of skywalker I said *”if I don’t like it at least I have the mandalorian.”*
That was so close to the perfect episode, the only downer in the prisoner was the devil guy in the cell at the end. If they had just the other villains locked up but he was inconspicuously missing, it would have hammered home that Mando got him with the Freaking Blast Doors!!!
Mando is just batman in space. Has a moral code loads of gadgets awesome fighter. Rlly strategic and has a kick ass suit.
Fun fact: Burg is actually Clancy Brown. IE the VA of Mr. Krabs, or in Star Wars, Savage Oppress.
that comes up in the video dude
@@FullFatVideos ...well I missed it and now I feel fucking retarded. Excuse me while I go punish myself with eating thirty kilos of ice cream
or also in star wars, the VA of that one ex-mandalorian who tries to fight jango fett and dies
"Hey wait, that *is* Flass!"
Honestly, I recognized him as Bobby from Sons of Anarchy. He's pretty much dressed the same way, just with a Star Wars filter.
I just can’t get over how they literally put Bill Burr in Star Wars and just let him be himself, and also that it worked so damn well
yes, that is why david is a leader that we need for star wars. it is best to unite the fan base instead of separating it. well said!
I love this show, it is so unstarwars yet it is the most starwars in past few years
I *FREAKED OUT* when I saw the security droids and Mando started fighting them. I'm a big prequels fan and have been super bummed by how Lucasfilm has ignored the prequels, and it was such a rush to have something even remotely hinting at the DNA of the prequels (battle/security droids).
The most amazing thing about this series is that both myself (a GIGANTIC Star Wars fan) and my girlfriend (who HATES Star Wars) LOVED this series. As soon as we finished the last episode, she asked "Can we watch it again?"
You really have to watch revenge of the sith with her...
I'd never thought of Mando as Star Wars's Batman, but that's definitely how I'll see him from now on, I love it.
This was actually my second least favourite episode, behind The Gunslinger (Although I at least LIKED every episode). The two Twi'lek characters were SO obnoxious. Did love seeing Bill Burr, Clancy Brown and Richard Ayoade (Hearing him, anyway)
FullFatVideos may think this episode was the best out of the Mandalorian and that it's what brings the fans together, but I disagree too.

@@ellugerdelacruz2555 wait, there's an ongoing story/overarching narrative in the mandalorian?
@@jamzy1837 YEAH, there is! And it all centers on Baby Yoda/the Child.
Season One literally ended with, "What plans does the fiendish Moff Gideon have for our heroes? Where did he get the Darksaber? Will our heroes survive his revenge? Can Mando deliver the Child to it's planet unscathed? Can they escape Moff Gideon without things going completely wrong? Tune in next time for the next exciting installment of 'The Mandalorian'!"
@@ellugerdelacruz2555 first of all, you would think star wars fans would not start asking so many questions after what happened with answers in TLJ, 2nd darksaber is either cuz Gideon beat bo katan and took it or he stole it from mandalorian/imperial vault after the mandalorian genocide. It will clearly be option 1 as option 2 Is boring. And the entire intrigue surrounding that question relies on people seeing TCW/rebels to understand- people had the same issue with maul in solo, if you haven't seen the cartons you are just confused. Why is there a black lightsaber? What is a darksaber? E.t.c (yes I've seen the cartoons so I know, but others wont.)
2nd, you outlined the overarching plot from just the last episode, apart from the last episode where basically all story takes place, what overarching narrative was important? People complain about this episode detracting but I can only remember episode 1,2 maybe a bit of 3,and 8 having any importance (assuming I'm not misremembering what happened at what point)
Also, mando rescuing the child from the imperials isn't important, that entire scene was wasting time.
@@jamzy1837 ...I dont think you got the joke lol. He was imitating the old school 90s era TV shows that would end a show with a narrator saying these types of things in order to get people to watch the next episode. The questions weren't serious
Honestly thought I was the only one! I love this episode so much, it makes the mandalorian scary and has fun and unexpected twists!
TH-cam needs more Star Wars content like this. Focusing on bringing folks together, not divisions, and not hate. Thank you for your work on this.
I love the fact that Din tryin' to save the guy payed off for him when it is the reason he was not arrested in season 2.
I am so happy I am not the only one who loves this episode. After finishing the series I would go back and watch it again and again, especially then scene where the lights flicker when Mando is sneaking up on Bill Burr’ character. It gives me chills everytime.
Yep, definitely the most underrated episode of the show. It’s truly so entertaining.
For me, Clancy Brown is what makes this episode. Right from that reveal of the character I knew I had a “I know that person” and I was reminded of an interview he did years ago where he said, “I’m always the asshole!”
6:00 it still freaking GUTS ME that the retconned (come completely fucked up) Poe's backstory like that. He's a freaking _Legacy fighter,_ his parents both fought in the Battle of Endor, were well-liked and trusted by Leia and Luke, especially Poe's pilot mother, Shara Bey. He joined the New Republic Defence Force as a pilot early in his life but defected with his squad to join the Resistance when he saw how ineffective the New Republic was to the growing threat of the First Order. He was _basically_ everything Ben Solo _should_ have been [hero parents, skilled pilot, loyal, noble, dedicated, natural leader], _but wasn't._ Poe was a man who's problem was that maybe he was a little _too_ dedicated to the cause. the epitome of "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country"
But instead of having him be just a good guy from a good family and strong beliefs,
*_they made the most prominent LATINO actor/character in this trilogy a DRUG RUNNER._* Are you KIDDING me. Big Oof!
Thanks alot for making this video,i seen this episode very underrated cus it wasnt an episode tied to the storyline of the season but im happy you put in the spotlight the episode propper.
so i rewatched the mandalorian pretty recently and about halfway through i remembered that one episode where they're a small team on a ship doing a job and how that was my favourite episode. Then not even a week after this video comes out
Another incredibly powerful and detailed breakdown of an important project that single handedly saved the future of SW In my opinion. Sometimes I’ll sit down and write my thoughts about a certain topics that range from unimportant stuff like the uncertainty of the world economic recovery post COVID-19 or high-stakes, timeless and monumental issue of the state of Star Wars 😉. As a middle aged man pretty set in his way and only performed this exercise for a year, I was genuinely surprised to see how many pages of “ramble” I’ve written and sometimes referred to when discussing a previously written about subject. This video, in so many ways, parallels how The Mando show has saved SW topic that I had tackled awhile back. I agreed and was genuinely impressed with how you put this video together to make so many fantastic points with flair; you seem to do this so well in every video, including the rare ones that I might disagree with. Thank you for the great content!
Finally someone who agrees with me, this episode has literally no flaws, while the others have at least 1 and often more
What about that part where the robot started chasing Baby Yoda instead of playing his part in the heist?
Episode 3 is great aswell.
@@brunocorbella7389 he’s a bounty hunter droid, he saw Karga’s message about Baby Yoda being a bounty.
Bounty hunter goes after bounty? I don’t see anything wrong
EDIT also, comms were disabled, so he had nothing to do
@@RedDeadDepressionist What about it not tying into the plot and just being a filler episode?
@@tridonstrident6785 so what if it’s filler? That has nothing to do with how likable the episode is
An exception, this video is definitely an exception. Much appreciate it much praise and much thanks!!!

C:
Yeah I'm just doing this to get more replies on TH-cam. Not everyone can be Justin Y.
Please, star wars fans haven't been united since the empire strikes back, hell, if they ever have. I don't hate ESB but I think it is so overrated, so have fans ever been? Anyway, this show divided the fanbase without this episode. Just not on the scale of the prequels/sequels and if you search for it there Is near unbridled love for the show, with ppl praising it as the future of SW and crap, but there's a solid portion of SW fans who hate this show.
The excessive amount of love for the show probably hides some of the dislike of it.
Can't *wait* for a video on _that_ finale..
Happy New Year, my guy 🇬🇧😘🍻
Finally someone else who loves episode 6. I thought I was the only one. It has a great heist plot, great action, and great aesthetics
Dave Filoni: Lets all unite on Star Wars.
Full Fat: Well yes but actually no.
@Daniel Dickson yeah. For the first 37 seconds of the video he seemed to accept other opinions. Then it all went out the window.
@Daniel Dickson the best description of the sequels is getting a new skateboard, cutting your knee, and putting a bad bandaid on it. 7 was great and had so much potential but 8 went the wrong way. 9 was just a silly excuse to unite everyone and try to fix things
rise of skywalker is a crime against nature
@@liam-eq4tj 7 was trash, and 8 only made it worse. But make no mistake, 7 is where things started going wrong. JJ is far more to blame than RJ for messing up the setting of the new films.
IDK how I got subscribed to this channel, but I can tell from the first minute that this is going to be a good video.
I actually love this so much. FFV is one of the best youtube channels, ever.
What a great analysis. Hadn't watched Full Fat in a while and not sure why. Time for a binge.
Pit droids from the Phantom Meance were used hilariously in ep.5
This episode balances action and character and I love that.
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize Long Feng is in The Mandalorian
Even HISHE couldn’t bring themselves to make fun of this episode
The New Republic guy who get's roasted for his shoes is actually Anakin Skywalker's voice actor in the Clone Wars, Matt Lanter
So any chance they’ll get James Arnold Taylor for a cameo in Season 2?
he already said that
@@kaironic8231 Oh man I'm dumb
@@benwasserman8223 I CERTAINLY hope so
@@edangster I'd certainly like to...
Man when I hear bill burr say “Get that Blaster outta my face” I just imagine Frank from F is for Family saying “Get that blaster outta my face before I put you through a fucking wall”
I got more excited to see Matt Lancer (animated anakin skywalker) playing the first new republic person we've seen (technically since episode 6 because we haven't actually seen any formal new republic just the splinter resistance?)
And the reference to this episode in season 2 was great, too
“I like how this series takes place after episode six,l. It’s a neat source of untapped storytelling potential.”
I think that’s a sick burn on the sequel trilogy, and I couldn’t agree more.
Something that I found in chapter 6 is when the guard droids actually use clone trooper blasters!
Yes, it's also my favorite by far :) glad I'm not the only one.
I love that at 3:39 Leia is refered to as General Leia then the otherwise common princess leia
When I saw the title of this video, I hoped it was about this episode. I think I’ve watched this episode and the IG speeder bike sequence from the finale more than any other episode/part of the Mandalorian. The characters were fun. There were so many references and cameos. Bill Burr worked as Bill Burr. The X-wing sequence was so enjoyable. I look forward to season two.
Baby Yoda unites the Star Wars fan base on his own.
Nah mate, that little shit is so annoying.
Also, he is supposed to be cute, makes a good toy/plushie
George Lucas: Gain the child demographic, you have fans for decades. Also, toy licensing profits.
Mandalorian is one of the best Star Wars Media probably ever.
You're absolutely right that The Mandalorien and things like it are the future of Star Wars. People that understand Star Wars' DNA and can take the setting and tell new and interesting stories in it rather than endlessly retreading old ground in a blind effort to capture the spirit of the originals without understanding it. And people who understand that, while they might have been executed poorly, to varying degrees, the prequels and, yes, even the sequels had some worthwhile ideas and you can actually elevate them if you do them justice in new material. Dave Filoni, of all people understands that, since his Clone Wars really elevated the prequels after the fact, and Favreau has repeatedly shown himself to be a solid filmmaker who understands how to fit into the tone of someone else's material without just being a straight copy (Lion King notwithstanding).
The IT Crowd reference got this video a like from me
There was something extra brutal about that second set of doors slamming shut on Burg.
I will never be able to reproduce the noise I made when I first saw the Death Watch descend on those battle droids in live action.
It was on perhaps the tenth watch on this episode when I noticed that Mando subdues Xi'an with one of her own throwing blades, the only one that had not hit his armour. He pulls it out of his skin and holds it to her throat. Something that was foreshadowed when we first saw her on Ran's spacestation, and she held a blade to Mando's throat.
Whether you like or dislike any of the movies, we can all agree, The Mandalorian is a great show.
Gotta love how Mando got directly rewarded for trying to save the New Republic officer.
I love hearing how Filoni was influenced by Genndy.
I had no idea that was Matt Lanter I love him XD (big TCW fan)
I see your love for Fallen Order there.
Will there be plans to have a video essay about it?
I too would like to see a full fat vid on fallen order. I wanna know what their favourite poncho is
Earliest I've ever been to a full fat video

I dont know how i missed this episode
4:28 "Hopefully Favreau and Filoni have a plan to *flush* them out." Is what I originally heard, and I couldn't agree more.
When it comes to the new appearance of Mustafar, that's actually yet another video game reference. In the new Star Wars: Vader Immortal VR game, you restore life back to the dying Mustafer, which turns it from the cracked, volcanic planet it was to what it is now.
You sound extra passionate in this video than the other vids
100%! Also love that this episodes ends with three members of the group still alive so they could be around later.
Ok right. My Mandalorian rewatch before the new season starts NOW. This set me
The prisoner is such a slept on episode
Does anyone else find the way the super battledroids are filmed in Mando genuinely scary and so much better than the original on screen versions?
I love how this show treats them like Jason Voorhees
They seem way bigger and more powerful. Maybe that’s just because they were shown decimating a village of citizens.
You have good taste, that's my favourite episode too!
It’s good because Filoni and Favreau don’t feel the need to please fans in every way, but also respects them and knows their feelings are valid.
This way, they respect what came before but try to build something fresh.
Also, Filoni is always the biggest Star Wars fan in the room. JJ and Rian have nothing on him in this regard XD
I found the Jar Jar nonsequitur in Aftermath Empire's End kinda heartwarming, sure Jar Jar is homeless and ostracized for his part in helping Palpy come to power, but now he found a place where his wacky antics can be appreciated entertaining refugee orphans
you should analyze the Luke vs Vader duel in ROTJ!! Love you man!
The prisoner, oddly enough, was one of my lease favorite episodes. I gave it a rewatch and it’s still great, still wouldn’t call it the best oddly enough.
My least favourite episode in the mandalorian is The Prisoner. But moss from the IT crowd as a droid is class
Yeah, you said it.
FullFatVideos may think this episode was the best out of the Mandalorian and that it's what brings the fans together, but I disagree.
This episode to me was the most skippable one in my opinion because it deviated SO MUCH from the ongoing story and just felt wrong to me. You could cut it out of the series and it wouldn't change a thing. It felt like a bad attempt at some sort of Star Wars/Suicide Squad story. You are only representing HALF of the fanbase of this show (of any show actually) that love the more episodic episodes rather than the linear ones. Again it's just my opinion, and the opinion of others like me.
It honestly is everything wrong with the show imo. The set was boring and repetitive ever scene was sucked of tension and it was completely disconnected from the story around it. The whole suicide squad couldn't have been more textbook stereotypical. Strong guy who looks evil, Bill Burr, attractive killing lady who has mysterious connections to the main character. Besides the droid who I actually found really fun and pretty interesting and the action which was really great this episode felt very hollow to me. However I feel all of the episodes to follow and the first couple episodes of this season were way more tense and complex. The show has glaring issues but theres so much to love about it that makes it really enjoyable, at it's best you forget all of the issues you had and just enjoy it. This was not it's best, still alright but not on par
That was so beautiful
What is the song used at the end?
It's kinda crazy in a way that Bill Burr could be in a Star Wars TV show, and you'd actually enjoy his character and want him to come back after one showing. I'd personally want him and the others to be recurring villains. And that, from a single episode, has be caring about all three of them more than Kylo Ren, which is shocking to me.
Zero : "......ploppers !"
Whats the name of the comic shown at 8:45?
Edit: That was a fantastic video man!
