@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.
"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?"
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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?
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.
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.
"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
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.
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).
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)

@@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 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.
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!!!
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!
@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
@@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.
"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.
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?"
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!”
@@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

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.
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.
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?)
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
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”
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
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 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.
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.
I like the episode, but who on the Star Wars team was like "Okay, HEAR ME OUT- A BALD redhead guy, who wears a black SWEATSHIRT, named Mayfield!" Other exec: "Sounds dumb! He doesn't even do anything cool!" first exec: "Uh... he can have a shoulder gun that shoots automatically?" Other exec: "PERFECT!!!"
“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.

When Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams said their respective movies would tie in with all the movies, including the Prequels, that's actually what they meant: one offhand line. In Last Jedi, it was when Luke said something along the lines of "at the height of their power, the jedi allowed Darth Sideous to take over" and in Rise of Skywalker, it was Palpatine's "unnatural abilities" line. That's it. That's what Disney Lucasfilm considers tying together all the movies. Thank god for Dave Filoni
I mean, Luke's general disillusionment in TLJ, plus Yoda acknowledging that they were far from perfect, are strong thematic connections to the prequels. Although, Duel of Fates' use of Coruscant and other prequel elements would've been the sort of unity this episode brought.
Whoa whoa whoa.... you're telling me they didn't even get the look of the Ewoks right for Rise of Skywalker? Or is that some kind of fan-made shot of the 2 Ewoks?
WAIT I HADN’T REALIZED THAT WAS MATT LANTER But as I watched this video I thought “wait, those sparkly little eyes seem familiar”. It’s hard to tell because of the helmet tho! Which is kinda how I think cameos should be, anyway. Little things that don’t distract the viewer but one might notice on a second viewing and think “what a nice lil easter egg!”

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
You described the state of Star Wars perfectly FFV, I myself enjoy the sequels, Originals and prequels as a whole with Revenge of the Sith being my favorite. However I found Mandalorian to be the most uplifting and innovative Star Wars content I have seen in a long time that surpasses the sequels in many ways, that I can admit even though I personally enjoy them. I also remember when the prequels were so despised that I was ashamed to be a Star Wars fan because of how poorly they treated The creator, and even now the same thing is happening which saddens me. The mandalorian and Clone wars are the only things that most Star Wars fans can all enjoy without being insulted or threatened. Fingers crossed Season 2 of The Mandolorian delivers, because that’s about the only thing that’ll keep Star Wars alive at this point.
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.
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.
It's funny how this is my least favorite episode, but still one of my favorite pieces of star wars media. This just goes to show how amazing this show is. Even at its (imo) worsed it still manages to be the best
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.
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.
12:44 no no no no no you don't understand. there was a super obscure VR game that featured you being a secret apprentice to Vader on Mustafar (canonical version of Starkiller?). In the EU there was something about Mustafar being a world corrupted by the dark side of the force so in the VR game you stand up to Vader and return the planet to balance which slowly starts the healing process. It's super obscure and kind of weird to reference in a movie. also might I add that Mustafar has been corrupted by the dark side for so long that some life has adapted to the lava environment which means by healing the planet you are probably putting quite a few species extinct
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
Actually there is canonical reason that Mustafar looks like that in Episode 9. A virtual reality game called Vader Immortal came out a few years ago that covers what happened to it and caused the lava to subside and vegetation to begin growing again.

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...

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.

@@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.
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
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

The way he destroyed the droids with hand-to-hand combat shows how much he hates them due to his childhood trauma

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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
"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
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.
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).
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
"embracing the past and carving a new and existing future" that perfectly describes the mandalorian
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)

@@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 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.
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!!!
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,

Mando is just batman in space. Has a moral code loads of gadgets awesome fighter. Rlly strategic and has a kick ass suit.
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.”*
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...
3:52 "Untapped storytelling potential"
*Cries into 40+ years of post-Endor books* :(
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!”
Honestly thought I was the only one! I love this episode so much, it makes the mandalorian scary and has fun and unexpected twists!
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.

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.
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
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.
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?)
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
Mandalorian is one of the best Star Wars Media probably ever.

This episode balances action and character and I love that.
I had no idea that was Matt Lanter I love him XD (big TCW fan)
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.
Yes, it's also my favorite by far :) glad I'm not the only one.
The IT Crowd reference got this video a like from me
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
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 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.
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.
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.

“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.
Strange, I thought this episode was the worst episode of the show. I didn't hate it, but I found it bland and the characters were very generic.

Can't *wait* for a video on _that_ finale..
Happy New Year, my guy 🇬🇧😘🍻
Earliest I've ever been to a full fat video
When Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams said their respective movies would tie in with all the movies, including the Prequels, that's actually what they meant: one offhand line.
In Last Jedi, it was when Luke said something along the lines of "at the height of their power, the jedi allowed Darth Sideous to take over" and in Rise of Skywalker, it was Palpatine's "unnatural abilities" line. That's it. That's what Disney Lucasfilm considers tying together all the movies.
Thank god for Dave Filoni
I mean, Luke's general disillusionment in TLJ, plus Yoda acknowledging that they were far from perfect, are strong thematic connections to the prequels. Although, Duel of Fates' use of Coruscant and other prequel elements would've been the sort of unity this episode brought.
The prisoner is such a slept on episode
Whoa whoa whoa.... you're telling me they didn't even get the look of the Ewoks right for Rise of Skywalker? Or is that some kind of fan-made shot of the 2 Ewoks?
I never watched The Mandalorian (because I can’t access to Disney +), but for some reason, I kinda favored Mando more than Boba and Jango Fett.
Watch it on some illegal site or app, it's pretty easy, just make sure it's secure
WAIT I HADN’T REALIZED THAT WAS MATT LANTER
But as I watched this video I thought “wait, those sparkly little eyes seem familiar”. It’s hard to tell because of the helmet tho! Which is kinda how I think cameos should be, anyway. Little things that don’t distract the viewer but one might notice on a second viewing and think “what a nice lil easter egg!”
Even HISHE couldn’t bring themselves to make fun of this episode
Something that I found in chapter 6 is when the guard droids actually use clone trooper blasters!
My least favourite episode in the mandalorian is The Prisoner. But moss from the IT crowd as a droid is class

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
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
You described the state of Star Wars perfectly FFV, I myself enjoy the sequels, Originals and prequels as a whole with Revenge of the Sith being my favorite. However I found Mandalorian to be the most uplifting and innovative Star Wars content I have seen in a long time that surpasses the sequels in many ways, that I can admit even though I personally enjoy them.
I also remember when the prequels were so despised that I was ashamed to be a Star Wars fan because of how poorly they treated The creator, and even now the same thing is happening which saddens me.
The mandalorian and Clone wars are the only things that most Star Wars fans can all enjoy without being insulted or threatened. Fingers crossed Season 2 of The Mandolorian delivers, because that’s about the only thing that’ll keep Star Wars alive at this point.
I love this show because It builds off of the OT but doesn’t dump on it like the Bad Disney fan fics!
@Carlo Di Giovanni Oh hi!
4:28 "Hopefully Favreau and Filoni have a plan to *flush* them out." Is what I originally heard, and I couldn't agree more.
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize Long Feng is in The Mandalorian
What a great analysis. Hadn't watched Full Fat in a while and not sure why. Time for a binge.
The Mandalorian = the show that saved Star Wars. My favorite show of all time, in fact. I wept like a baby upon the return of Luke Skywalker.
I dont know how i missed this episode
100%! Also love that this episodes ends with three members of the group still alive so they could be around later.
I don't think Devaronians are supposed to be inherently ultra strong, Burg just happened to be. Fire resistant though, that would fit.
This was a good episode, definitely loved it when Dinn hunted everyone down and then makes sure that backstabbing is not the order for the day.
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.
Gotta love how Mando got directly rewarded for trying to save the New Republic officer.
There's actually a reason that Mustafar looks so different when Kylo goes there. It's slowly starting to heal after the events of the VR game.
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.
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.
It's funny how this is my least favorite episode, but still one of my favorite pieces of star wars media. This just goes to show how amazing this show is. Even at its (imo) worsed it still manages to be the best
An exception, this video is definitely an exception. Much appreciate it much praise and much thanks!!!
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.
Pit droids from the Phantom Meance were used hilariously in ep.5
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.
12:44 no no no no no you don't understand. there was a super obscure VR game that featured you being a secret apprentice to Vader on Mustafar (canonical version of Starkiller?). In the EU there was something about Mustafar being a world corrupted by the dark side of the force so in the VR game you stand up to Vader and return the planet to balance which slowly starts the healing process. It's super obscure and kind of weird to reference in a movie. also might I add that Mustafar has been corrupted by the dark side for so long that some life has adapted to the lava environment which means by healing the planet you are probably putting quite a few species extinct
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
*More Proof That Filoni needs to be in charge*
Actually there is canonical reason that Mustafar looks like that in Episode 9. A virtual reality game called Vader Immortal came out a few years ago that covers what happened to it and caused the lava to subside and vegetation to begin growing again.
