Katee Sackhoff, who plays Bo-Katan, is a fantastic actress. It's definitely just Bo's personality. Sackhoff's first big role was in Battlestar Galatica (2005) as Starbuck. I know you've got the miniseries already, so you should check it out.
Can be a good actress. She's also been in some absolute trash like that sci fi show where she's on a ship full of moron 20 year olds who are supposed to be astronauts.
I think you'll love the Star Wars show Andor. Great writing, great character development, great television. And I remember you liked the movie Rogue One, which it is a prequel show too.
Since I don’t think you noticed, the reason Moff Gideon seemed really strong in that suit is because it had hydraulic motors built into it, same thing that gave Darth Vader his superhuman strength as well as the force, not something usual Mando armour would have.
I'm Swedish. The Mandalorian song is taken from an old legendary Swedish children's film/Fantasy called in Swedish Ronja Rövardotter from 1984. It was written by the legendary children's book author Astrid Lindgren (She who wrote Pippi Longstocking). Ludwig Göransson, who made this song for The Mandalorian, took parts of the Ronja song and made it a bit cowboy-ish, which I like. THIS IS THE WAY!❤
I really like how what Din says to Bo in his "This is why I serve you" moment can either be taken as a bit romantic, or as just a loyal soldier fighting for the leader he believes and has faith in. Depends on how one wants to look at it.
It's been talked a lot on YT commentators and online how this season of the Mandalorian has been an allegory to the Tribes of Israel and reclaiming the Promised Land. Hence why the episode "The Spies" is more about "the spies" sent for land in which the Tribes could settle. Not necessarily two spies which was what everyone was thinking.
The reason why this season feels off to some people is that part of this season was intended to set up the "Rangers Of The New Republic" series. That series was scrapped after they let Gina Carano go because Cara Dune was supposed to be a big part of that series. So they had to rework this season a bit since it had been written previous to that show being cancelled.
What a dumb thing to do, hurt your successful show just to set up yet another series. They are really doing a money grab, if a series can't stand on its own then don't do it.
Again, a rumour also, that Grogu was meant to train longer with Luke. That would have taken him out of most of this season.? KK intervened, insisting ( money in mind? ) he comes straight back.?His involvement is off" as been 'written in', rather than central!
The thing that's different is, Baby Grogu isn't being hunted anymore. So it's a good thing the stakes are lowered. Din can focus on helping others like Bo, and Mandalore itself. Lovers of The Clone Wars series like myself LOVE that we spend this season focusing on being a great ally to Bo Katan. She started out misguildied, way back when she and Ahsoka were teens, and this story has been her redemption.
He’s in the suit sometimes but not always. It’s the same for any characters that’s in a suit with a mask. Think of all the marvel movies. Even most of the fight scenes with characters aren’t actually them fighting but stunt doubles.
Appreciated watching it over with you (watched it when it came out)......just feel the twists and turns so much like you do -- although, finding out other stuff (Pedro Pascal not being in the suit) seems to have made it harder for you to enjoy (I don't bother learning all that - and now I'm glad)....Anyway - THANKS for the content!! 👍
Why the tone might be different (and that some have criticized) might be because this season is expanding the scope of the "Mandoverse" for a brace of new series coming up: Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew. It's possible that season 4 of The Mandalorian might focus more attention back on the Din Family.
OK so people are recommending that you watch various things and that's up to you but in case it's starting to get confusing, here is the order it's all in: 1.

Resistance (Season 1) 24. The Force Awakens* 25. The Last Jedi* 26. Resistance (Season 2) 27. The Rise of Skywalker* (* means you've seen it)
Episode 5 is definitely one of my favorites of this season. Paz gained a new level of respect for Din and Bo. He caught me off-guard for a moment during the bonfire meeting, but then he reminded me that they saved his son Ragnar. Then the mission to save Nevarro was an absolute success, and they all looked like rockstars doing so. As for episode 6, I remember hearing Christopher Lloyd would appear, but I never expected to see Jack Black and Lizzo. And I definitely didn’t expect Din to say Kuill’s catchphrase “I have spoken.” Episode 7 was one of my favorite episodes of this season, but I’m definitely sad about Paz’s sacrifice. His role is one of the highlights of this season, and his final deed was just as impacting as those of Kuill, IG-11, Tala, Ned-B, and our unsung heroes of Rogue One. This is the Way, and yes I’ve spoken. At least Bo finally exacted her revenge on Moff Gideon. She got to let out her inner rage. As for IG-11, I’m glad he’s back and with a much needed upgrade. Taika Waititi is always a win. He’s working on his own Star Wars film. The next live-action series is Ahsoka. It’ll arrive this August with 8 episodes. Next year we’re getting a second season of Andor as well as a new series called The Acolyte.
Greef learns of a pirate attack on Nevarro and urges the New Republic to intervene. As the fate of him hangs in the balance, Din Djarin must rely on new and old team mates to save the planet.
If you look back at season 3 as a whole you may notice that this season was more about Bo Katan earning back the respect and everything of all the Mandalorian people and earning her place as leader of the Mandalorian people on their home planet
Great reaction oh, by the way, R5 is Archie R2-D2‘s brother he’s the same or R2 unit in episode four they broke down had a bad motivator and Kelly got him from her boyfriend Jawa. She’s the date Jawa. She gets all the good stuff and gets a lot of free labor that way thanks for the fun until next time
Somebody told you wrong.. you can clearly see if you look when it's Pedro in the suit cause he has a different body build.. like all other films and shows stars have fighting and stunt doubles
There is no reason to pay pedros wages to have him in the suit when they can just pay for his voice. Plus he would have a stunt double anyway so just get the double to do it full time for next to nothing.
Not sure if they're doing a season 4 but I do know the end of the series will take place in a full length movie. Not sure if it's going on the big screen or just an extra special release.
Pedro was wearing the suit quite a lot in the first season, but wore it less and less in the second and apparently not much if at all in the third. I'm okay with it. For one thing, it allowed him the time to go make The Last of Us. For another, it gives the two stunt-performers who do wear Mando's armor more work and enough time onscreen to warrant having their names included as main cast now. I'm particularly happy for Brendan Wayne, who is John Wayne's Grandson.
I only noticed during this reaction that even though Gideon destroyed the Darksaber, he also defeated Bo-katan and removed her helmet. Then Grogu was the one who disarmed him and shoved him into the explosion. If they recover the remains of the Darksaber (or even just the crystal), it'll belong to Grogu by creed. It's also been theorized that Grogu might use his talent for taming animals with the Force (like the rancor in BoBF) to ride the Mythosaur. Combine those two things, and it would be pretty inarguable that Grogu is the true Mandalore.
I liked this season, but then I liked Clone wars, Bad Batch, Rebels and the other Star Wars cartoons. If one hasn't seen those series then I can see them finding this season fun but lacking. "So many lasers." is a good Star Wars tagline. The Praetorian Guard (the guys in red) are basically bodyguards for high ranking Imperials. They were indeed in The Last Jedi fighting Rey and Kylo Ren, but we first saw them in Return of the Jedi when the Emperor arrived at the Deathstar.
Cassie you are going to have to watch Rebels if you’re going watch Ashoka. You would have caught a character in Episode 5. Saruman was played by the same actor as Count Dooku. Sir Christopher Lee in The Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith
Clone Wars is essential viewing too. Far more character development for Ahsoka in that show than she got in Rebels, and they are bringing back characters from that cartoon too.
@@Ian-Omega maybe, but the only exception to this is when it comes to an entire franchise. Sure, there should be some shows where you shouldn't need to watch episodes of other shows, be it a cartoon or live-action once in a while, but saying that you shouldn't watch something to understand a new media coming out is like saying that you shouldn't watch all of the MCU movies to understand Infinity War
Lot of the background is created using a wrap around screen using video game unreal 5 engine to create & display the background images according to Disney behind the scenes video
Pedro has talked about not being able to see anything in the suit saying that if there's a hole, he's falling in it, so I'm bit unsure about the claim that he isn't in the suit. It'd be the easiest acting job and pay slip.
I like the Music theme in the end of the episode from mandalorien. I'm listening every time and make louder. So I Love Mandalorien and this episode and the end is great 🍷😊
They are setting it up for not just Season 4 but also for the Ahsoka Series now Din Djarin AKA Mando has a Stable Home Base to operate and fully Teach Din Grogu the art of Bounty Hunting and since Din Djarin has a home base Ahsoka now can find Din Djarin to ask for information about certain past employers or even Hire Din Djarin to find a certain someone for her.
Grand Admiral Thrawn is a Chiss [Blue skinned humanoid with red eyes] who was sent to observe the Empire for the Chiss Ascendancy to see if the Empire was a suitable ally to assist in the threats faced by the Chiss. He ended up joining the Empire at the invitation of Emperor Palpatine and worked his way to the highest military rank attainable in short order. There is much about his story that you should discover on your own. He's a fascinating character.
If you liked the battle droids or "wiener dog ones" as you call them, the show Star Wars the Clone Wars has seven seasons full of them as the enemy soldiers
My only issue is that Mandalorians have rules and they're super important, right? Then why is there an exception or loophole whenever they need one? Just a few episodes ago, Mando was using "he's just a kid" to protect the kid but at the end he just adopts Grogu to get what he wants. We don't know who Grogu's parents are or if they're alive but Mando can just adopt him just like that? Its...puzzling. Now that they can just bathe in the waters of Mandalore does this mean everyone can remove their helmets? Etc...
The fifth episode of this season seems to be agreed on as one of the best of the season. Certainly, very action-packed. The sixth episode was highly divisive; I heard many a fan express disappointment in it. Me, I had an absolute blast with it. If nothing else, it aired on my birthday and I had a smile on my face and was laughing the whole time, it was great. The last two episodes of the season, I thought, were most excellent. I find I’m skeptical if we have in fact seen the last of Giancarlo as Moff Gideon. I won’t complain ether way. If he’s dead he’s dead. If he returns, somehow, I look forward to more of his character.
If nothing else, we know that Gideon cloned himself a bunch of times. So if we don't get a Gideon clone that has force powers at some point, I'll find a hat to eat.
Episode 6 would be good... in a 12-24 episode season. It's a decent side story to slow things down/world building. The issue is they keep making these 8 episodes and not much happens in most of the other 7 either.
Essentially what Disney/Lucasfilm has done is set up for the possibility of having a fourth season even if Pedro Pascal does not return. They wanted to make it VERY CLEAR that as of this season ANYONE could be The Mandalorian. That's why they brought them ALL back. Aside from the filler no point episodes, this season was decent enough. But it shows the influence of Disney/Lucasfilm execs on the writing staff.
The thing is; it's not really filler. I think people just don't get what *THEY* hope for, and label it filler. If you really try to think about why things happen, it makes sense in retrospect, even if it doesn't at the time. Most of the "filler" episodes are there to show us 1) why the OTHER Mandalorians care about Mandalore, and the effect it had on them when their world fell, and 2) establish a character arc for Din going from an unattached grifter to someone committed to a larger cause, and people (Mandalore). This is classic "show; don't tell" in writing. We have to *SEE* why the other characters like Bo-Katan and Paz lament the fall of Mandalore, so that the emotional payoff is there when it is (I'm hoping) restored in the following seasons. Seasons 1/2 being more episodic also played into the overall story arc, by showing Din change from someone who was on his own, living from day-to-day, to being part of something larger, and caring about more than himself. This started (but didn't end with) him getting attached to, and taking care of Grogu. The "filler" episodes are still doing some heavy lifting, even if people don't understand what the writers are preparing for yet.
@@AMortalDefiant No. The show has established that it's about Din and Grogu. So having other characters is not the issue. Stop trying to sound so superior. The issue is that NO ONE cares about that scientist OR the Imperial spy for Gideon. Having an entire episode just for them, or the Jack Black & Lizzo show, IS most certainly "filler". Before commenting learn what filler actually is.
@@AMortalDefiant "I think people just don't get what THEY hope for" - EXACTLY! 💯👌👍 Or, they get too caught up in the ridiculous amount of horrible fan theories that people come up with these days, most of which make no sense at all, then they turn what should be JUST theories into expectations. It's sad really, for them lol.
@@patrickcromwell7554 no, that's what Season 1 and 2 was originally about. Season 3 was about rebuilding Mandalore. Jack Black and Lizzo said that if those two helped with their Droids Problem, they will see the Mandalore they plan to rebuild as a sovereign system, and will even try to make the New Republic see new Mandalore as a sovereign system as well. That doesn't sound very filler, especially with the possibility of it being used in the future, like how Mando Chapter 6, the episode that introduced Bill Burr's character, Mayfeld, into the show. I remember people calling that episode a filler. Look where there led us in the next Season. We had unexpected Mayfeld character development, that droid's remaining parts being used as the Frog Lady's translator for a moment, and the New Republic patrol pilots mentioning the events of that episode, which made them decide to let Mando go instead of arrest him.
@@Crilyte Dude what the actual Hell do Jack Black, Lizzo and Droids have to do with anything regarding the production or tone of season 4?? Nothing you said makes any sense in context to my post. Don't tell me NO you're wrong and then go into IN universe explanations that are just irelevant. Who the hell cares about Jack Black and Lizzo from ONE episode, when I'm talking about the future of the show as a whole. It's been said on record that "The Mandalorian" is NOT (only) Din Djarin. but that it can be ANY of them. That's why all the side characters and Bo Katan this season. Because when they show season 4 Din Djarin may (possibly) NOT even be the main character. This season may have been Pedro Pascal's last one. And in Fact he was barely even involved in THIS season. He came in, did his lines and left. He was never IN the armor in this season like he was in the last two. I'm not talking about, nor do I even care about Jack Black and Lizzo. They're utterly irelevant.
Pedro was in the suit for season 1 for sure, and I think 2. But 3 he was busy filming Last of Us, so he could only provide the voice. If we ever get Mando in the future, I'm sure Pedro would gladly be in the suit as long as he's not doing other projects.
Thrawn is a long time Villain in Star Wars Lore that originated in novels after the original movies. He will also be the the main enemy for the upcoming Ahsoka series.
now that you have finished this you can continue with Ashoka which is only just finished its first season and is a branch of this series and a stand alone at the same time.
Thrawn and Maul are my favorite bad guys in Star wars. They are so smart and so scary but have this almost thanos like aspect to them, where they respect their opponents in different ways. Plus Maul is kinda sexy, and thrawn is a super genius that respects art and culture but they are ultimately evil in their actions due to their beliefs. you’ve got to watch these Animmated series!!!
Pedro Pascall is definitely in the Mando suit just not all the time you have been misinformed. The Action heavy sequences require that stunt doubles are used as insurance costs and actors not necessarily being trained combatants is a thing. It is also Disney policy that actors not trained in the specific stunts or heavy action sequences performed are not allowed to take part. Not exactly new either as it is industry standard, actors like Tom Cruise being the exception (not every actor can afford to get a licence to fly a fighter jet for a movie). Therefore ADR (dialogue is recorded by Pedro for these scenes). There is in fact only one episode in the series where he is completely absent for the entire episodes duration, that being Season 1 episode 'Sanctuary' as he was starring in King Lear on Broadway. The stunt actors used for different varieties of stunts or combat sequences are Brendan Wayne (grandson of John Wayne the western star) and Lateef Crowder who specialise in those specific fields. Also not new to Star Wars: -Vader for example is only voiced by James Earl Jones (James never wore the suit as it was worn by David Prowse to gain Vader's imposing presence but he was thought not to have an intimidating enough voice) on TH-cam there are unedited versions of Vader's scenes with the original actor dialogue preserved they change the character entirely. -Christopher Lee was absent from all but the beginnings of lightsabre duels as he was to elderly to perform the stunts and his face was CG added after. This is merely an industry standard and has been for decades. I hope this makes you feel better about the character immersion. You could think of it as three separate people pooling their skills to bring you the best version of Din Djarin which when you think about it means three people constantly studying each other to make a physically consistent and seamless performance. Quite amazing when you think about it.
Episode 6 was one "Jinkies!" short of being a Scoobie Doo episode. Mystery a kid could solve, obvious clues, special guest stars, chase scene, Scrappy Doo (Grogu) and the culprit was none other than... Old Man Smithers!!!
My favorite is still season 1 but I did enjoy this season more than the second. Its expanding the world around Mando. I saw a lot of complaints online about the episode with cameos but I just thought it was fun.
Mandolorian s3 was. I dunno if I like it or not. The ending was very starwars, but the episodes in the middle was wierd. I dunno if someone said it to me, or if it is in my head but. Disney forcing Grogu and Din Djarin back together in book of boba fett instead of it being in Mandolorian s3 made the schedule for the season all wierd. If instead ep 1-3 be "how to get Grogu back" 5 and 6 the cleansing(bath in the mines of Mandolore), followed by ep 7 and 8 retaking of Mandolore. I think it would have felt alot smoother. Now Din Djarin bathed in ep 2, and then: "Soo, what is the big mission for this season?" I am worried that people need to watch Clone Wars and rebels before Ahsoka. I will be clear: nobody knows if that will be needed, but I do think it will be useful. But it has many 20min episodes.
Shows like "The Last of Us" and "Andor" definitely have a darker, more mature feel to them. I do view Mando as being more appropriate for a wider audience. So I think the lighter tone of the show is fine, since I still find it very entertaining.
Some TV series that I think you might enjoy reacting to on your channel: 1) The Legend of Vox Machina: It’s a fun, adult oriented, animated fantasy adventure series. So far there are only two seasons. Each season is 12 episodes long, and each episode is only about 25 minutes. Reacting to two episodes per week, you can get through the entire season (so far) in about 12 weeks. And if you liked The Lord of the Rings (which I know you did) you’ll love The Legend of Vox Machina. 2) Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Assuming that you’ve never seen the show before, I think it’ll be right up your alley. Humour, romance, action, and even a little bit of horror. Created and produced by Joss Whedon (the same guy who made Firefly, which I know you loved) it definitely has all of the elements that you love in your TV shows. 3) Highlander The Series: A spin off of the cult classic Highlander movie, this is another I think you’ll enjoy. You can react to the movie first if you want to. Honestly it really doesn’t matter, because the TV show retcons certain things from the movie. They also make references to what happened in the movie in the series, so you’ll get caught up through exposition anyway. In any case, there’s action, adventure, magic, romance, and the lead actor (Adrian Paul) is one heck of a good looking man. It is definitely something that you would enjoy watching.
I really, really recommend watching Star Wars Rebels before Ashoka comes out. SW: The Clone Wars would be good to watch as well, as that will give you Ashoka's story and her relationship with Anakin (as well as Bo Katan's story), but Ashoka is looking to basically be a straight continuation of Rebels, including many of the main characters of that show coming back. It's a lot to watch, so I'd do it on your own time rather than worrying about making reaction vids for it all, but it will really help put in to context the events we're about to see in Ahsoka (from all apparent reports).
I would have liked to have seen Pedro's Face but I understand that the way they do it gives him more Room to do other Projects and let's him come in and Record a session in a short amount of time so that he can have more Longevity in the Din Jaren Character. Btw does this mean Din Jaren was just called Jaren at one point before the Creed?
Pedro Pascal said in an interview that he was overlapping production between this series and The Last of Us. They worked it so he could do both. Explains why we didn’t see his face.
That's not why we didn't see his face. He was on set so they could have shot a scene with his helmet off if they wanted to. There was simply no reason for it. Mando has consistently shown that he is more comfortable with his mask on.
I know you’ve already probably heard this a lot. But it would definitely be worth it to watch Clone Wars,Rebels, and Bad Batch. That way you will know Ashoka,Thrawn, and many more characters coming to live action. I understand it’s a lot to watch so it’s up to you whether you would watch it on the channel or in your own time if that’s what you decide to do.
Katee Sackhoff, who plays Bo-Katan, is a fantastic actress. It's definitely just Bo's personality. Sackhoff's first big role was in Battlestar Galatica (2005) as Starbuck. I know you've got the miniseries already, so you should check it out.
Robot Chicken, Bitch Puddin.......go check it out, you won't regret it! BTW, Katee Sackhoff is the voice actress. 😎
It goes downhill after season 2 though
Don’t forget Longmire. That’s a great modern western series.
Can be a good actress. She's also been in some absolute trash like that sci fi show where she's on a ship full of moron 20 year olds who are supposed to be astronauts.

I liked Andor too,,,,it reminds me a little bit on James Bond Spionage genre thaaang

Andor was a wonderful surprise
Eh
Rogue One & Andor are the best storyline in the whole franchise. In my opinion.
@@cubsfanbigmike31 It's just a more boring version of A NEw Hope with dinner parties and DEI actors.
Yes, the people with the fish-eyes on the side of their heads are called 'Mon Calamari'.
Since I don’t think you noticed, the reason Moff Gideon seemed really strong in that suit is because it had hydraulic motors built into it, same thing that gave Darth Vader his superhuman strength as well as the force, not something usual Mando armour would have.

Kathleen Kennedy ruins everything.
The thing that's different is, Baby Grogu isn't being hunted anymore. So it's a good thing the stakes are lowered. Din can focus on helping others like Bo, and Mandalore itself.
Lovers of The Clone Wars series like myself LOVE that we spend this season focusing on being a great ally to Bo Katan. She started out misguildied, way back when she and Ahsoka were teens, and this story has been her redemption.
The story of this season is extremely pleasing for us Clone Wars & Rebels fans. Never thought I would see the story progress from those series.

He actually wasn't in the suit at all this season, because of shooting conflicts with The Last of Us.
Only in season 1 and 2 this season it wasnt him at all becouse he was shooting The Last of Us, he only recorded his voice.

His role is one of the highlights of this season, and his final deed was just as impacting as those of Kuill, IG-11, Tala, Ned-B, and our unsung heroes of Rogue One. This is the Way, and yes I’ve spoken.
At least Bo finally exacted her revenge on Moff Gideon. She got to let out her inner rage.
As for IG-11, I’m glad he’s back and with a much needed upgrade. Taika Waititi is always a win. He’s working on his own Star Wars film.
The next live-action series is Ahsoka. It’ll arrive this August with 8 episodes.
Next year we’re getting a second season of Andor as well as a new series called The Acolyte.
Greef learns of a pirate attack on Nevarro and urges the New Republic to intervene. As the fate of him hangs in the balance, Din Djarin must rely on new and old team mates to save the planet.
The Welder...tonight at 8, 7 Central
If you look back at season 3 as a whole you may notice that this season was more about Bo Katan earning back the respect and everything of all the Mandalorian people and earning her place as leader of the Mandalorian people on their home planet
The Mandalorian and his allies confront their enemies to try and bring peace to the region.
Great reaction oh, by the way, R5 is Archie R2-D2‘s brother he’s the same or R2 unit in episode four they broke down had a bad motivator and Kelly got him from her boyfriend Jawa. She’s the date Jawa. She gets all the good stuff and gets a lot of free labor that way thanks for the fun until next time
Somebody told you wrong.. you can clearly see if you look when it's Pedro in the suit cause he has a different body build.. like all other films and shows stars have fighting and stunt doubles
There is no reason to pay pedros wages to have him in the suit when they can just pay for his voice. Plus he would have a stunt double anyway so just get the double to do it full time for next to nothing.
Not sure if they're doing a season 4 but I do know the end of the series will take place in a full length movie. Not sure if it's going on the big screen or just an extra special release.
Pedro was wearing the suit quite a lot in the first season, but wore it less and less in the second and apparently not much if at all in the third. I'm okay with it. For one thing, it allowed him the time to go make The Last of Us. For another, it gives the two stunt-performers who do wear Mando's armor more work and enough time onscreen to warrant having their names included as main cast now. I'm particularly happy for Brendan Wayne, who is John Wayne's Grandson.
13:30 I was drinking when she said “ Calimari…..like the Appetizer “????? SPAT IT RIGHT OUT LMAO…..THE TIMING WAS TOO AWESOME
I only noticed during this reaction that even though Gideon destroyed the Darksaber, he also defeated Bo-katan and removed her helmet. Then Grogu was the one who disarmed him and shoved him into the explosion. If they recover the remains of the Darksaber (or even just the crystal), it'll belong to Grogu by creed. It's also been theorized that Grogu might use his talent for taming animals with the Force (like the rancor in BoBF) to ride the Mythosaur. Combine those two things, and it would be pretty inarguable that Grogu is the true Mandalore.
I liked this season, but then I liked Clone wars, Bad Batch, Rebels and the other Star Wars cartoons. If one hasn't seen those series then I can see them finding this season fun but lacking.
"So many lasers." is a good Star Wars tagline.
The Praetorian Guard (the guys in red) are basically bodyguards for high ranking Imperials. They were indeed in The Last Jedi fighting Rey and Kylo Ren, but we first saw them in Return of the Jedi when the Emperor arrived at the Deathstar.
Cassie you are going to have to watch Rebels if you’re going watch Ashoka. You would have caught a character in Episode 5. Saruman was played by the same actor as Count Dooku. Sir Christopher Lee in The Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith
Clone Wars is essential viewing too. Far more character development for Ahsoka in that show than she got in Rebels, and they are bringing back characters from that cartoon too.
You shouldn’t have to watch hundreds of episodes of a cartoon to understand a new series.
@@Ian-Omega maybe, but the only exception to this is when it comes to an entire franchise. Sure, there should be some shows where you shouldn't need to watch episodes of other shows, be it a cartoon or live-action once in a while, but saying that you shouldn't watch something to understand a new media coming out is like saying that you shouldn't watch all of the MCU movies to understand Infinity War
A group of survivors decide to come out of hiding and stand up against a local tyrant.
Lot of the background is created using a wrap around screen using video game unreal 5 engine to create & display the background images according to Disney behind the scenes video
Pedro does wear the Mando suit he just not the only one.
...except in this season where he was reportedly never on set.
"You had me at battle droids." I am stealing this. 😄
Cassie, at 17 min , in all fairness, Din did kick the battledroid , the droid was just defending himself
Din dgarin now being grogu’s dad, he’s now allowed to take his helmet off at anytime when they’re alone because they’re family
Which makes his sitting outside their new home _with it on_ so unsatisfying to me. 😕
Sure, but Mando is still more comfortable with his helmet on. He grew up hiding his face. Just because he can take it off, doesn't mean he wants to.
"Star Wars isn't as good as it used to be" ... that's real fandom!
19:45 Doc's going to kill the droids like he dipped the shoe. We can be friends if you get all the references.
That zapper thing is probably the prototype for the weapons the first order uses in episode 7
There’s dad jokes, but Cassie’s got mom jokes 8:27 😂
Quantasot isn't your worst name guess ever. Its like Coruscant with a dash of Canada.
The Clone wars show will unswear all your questions and make your Star wars experience much more enjoyable
Pedro has talked about not being able to see anything in the suit saying that if there's a hole, he's falling in it, so I'm bit unsure about the claim that he isn't in the suit. It'd be the easiest acting job and pay slip.
Best primer on Dooku is Tales of the Jedi 6 episode shorts. 3 with him 3 with Ahsoka.
Grogu: Mandalorian, Jedi, and now, mecha pilot.
"Ahsoka"
Ahh-soka
I highly suggest reacting to the Clone Wars series.
I second that along with Rebels, and Bad Batch.
I like the Music theme in the end of the episode from mandalorien. I'm listening every time and make louder. So I Love Mandalorien and this episode and the end is great 🍷😊
They are setting it up for not just Season 4 but also for the Ahsoka Series now Din Djarin AKA Mando has a Stable Home Base to operate and fully Teach Din Grogu the art of Bounty Hunting and since Din Djarin has a home base Ahsoka now can find Din Djarin to ask for information about certain past employers or even Hire Din Djarin to find a certain someone for her.
Happy Mother's Day Cassie!!🌞☮️
Grand Admiral Thrawn is a Chiss [Blue skinned humanoid with red eyes] who was sent to observe the Empire for the Chiss Ascendancy to see if the Empire was a suitable ally to assist in the threats faced by the Chiss. He ended up joining the Empire at the invitation of Emperor Palpatine and worked his way to the highest military rank attainable in short order. There is much about his story that you should discover on your own. He's a fascinating character.
If you liked the battle droids or "wiener dog ones" as you call them, the show Star Wars the Clone Wars has seven seasons full of them as the enemy soldiers
Uh, they're called Clankahz.
@@PaulGuy You're right. I just didn't want to risk being offensive to the Confederacy of Independent Systems
My only issue is that Mandalorians have rules and they're super important, right? Then why is there an exception or loophole whenever they need one? Just a few episodes ago, Mando was using "he's just a kid" to protect the kid but at the end he just adopts Grogu to get what he wants. We don't know who Grogu's parents are or if they're alive but Mando can just adopt him just like that? Its...puzzling. Now that they can just bathe in the waters of Mandalore does this mean everyone can remove their helmets? Etc...
The Mandalorian visits an opulent world in search of a more lucrative line of work.
The fifth episode of this season seems to be agreed on as one of the best of the season. Certainly, very action-packed. The sixth episode was highly divisive; I heard many a fan express disappointment in it. Me, I had an absolute blast with it. If nothing else, it aired on my birthday and I had a smile on my face and was laughing the whole time, it was great. The last two episodes of the season, I thought, were most excellent. I find I’m skeptical if we have in fact seen the last of Giancarlo as Moff Gideon. I won’t complain ether way. If he’s dead he’s dead. If he returns, somehow, I look forward to more of his character.
If nothing else, we know that Gideon cloned himself a bunch of times. So if we don't get a Gideon clone that has force powers at some point, I'll find a hat to eat.
Episode 6 would be good... in a 12-24 episode season. It's a decent side story to slow things down/world building. The issue is they keep making these 8 episodes and not much happens in most of the other 7 either.
Din says he'll adopt Grogu....Cassie's brain explodes....
Essentially what Disney/Lucasfilm has done is set up for the possibility of having a fourth season even if Pedro Pascal does not return. They wanted to make it VERY CLEAR that as of this season ANYONE could be The Mandalorian. That's why they brought them ALL back. Aside from the filler no point episodes, this season was decent enough. But it shows the influence of Disney/Lucasfilm execs on the writing staff.
The thing is; it's not really filler. I think people just don't get what *THEY* hope for, and label it filler. If you really try to think about why things happen, it makes sense in retrospect, even if it doesn't at the time. Most of the "filler" episodes are there to show us 1) why the OTHER Mandalorians care about Mandalore, and the effect it had on them when their world fell, and 2) establish a character arc for Din going from an unattached grifter to someone committed to a larger cause, and people (Mandalore). This is classic "show; don't tell" in writing. We have to *SEE* why the other characters like Bo-Katan and Paz lament the fall of Mandalore, so that the emotional payoff is there when it is (I'm hoping) restored in the following seasons. Seasons 1/2 being more episodic also played into the overall story arc, by showing Din change from someone who was on his own, living from day-to-day, to being part of something larger, and caring about more than himself. This started (but didn't end with) him getting attached to, and taking care of Grogu. The "filler" episodes are still doing some heavy lifting, even if people don't understand what the writers are preparing for yet.
@@AMortalDefiant No. The show has established that it's about Din and Grogu. So having other characters is not the issue. Stop trying to sound so superior. The issue is that NO ONE cares about that scientist OR the Imperial spy for Gideon. Having an entire episode just for them, or the Jack Black & Lizzo show, IS most certainly "filler". Before commenting learn what filler actually is.
@@AMortalDefiant "I think people just don't get what THEY hope for" - EXACTLY! 💯👌👍 Or, they get too caught up in the ridiculous amount of horrible fan theories that people come up with these days, most of which make no sense at all, then they turn what should be JUST theories into expectations. It's sad really, for them lol.
@@patrickcromwell7554 no, that's what Season 1 and 2 was originally about. Season 3 was about rebuilding Mandalore. Jack Black and Lizzo said that if those two helped with their Droids Problem, they will see the Mandalore they plan to rebuild as a sovereign system, and will even try to make the New Republic see new Mandalore as a sovereign system as well. That doesn't sound very filler, especially with the possibility of it being used in the future, like how Mando Chapter 6, the episode that introduced Bill Burr's character, Mayfeld, into the show. I remember people calling that episode a filler. Look where there led us in the next Season. We had unexpected Mayfeld character development, that droid's remaining parts being used as the Frog Lady's translator for a moment, and the New Republic patrol pilots mentioning the events of that episode, which made them decide to let Mando go instead of arrest him.
@@Crilyte Dude what the actual Hell do Jack Black, Lizzo and Droids have to do with anything regarding the production or tone of season 4?? Nothing you said makes any sense in context to my post. Don't tell me NO you're wrong and then go into IN universe explanations that are just irelevant. Who the hell cares about Jack Black and Lizzo from ONE episode, when I'm talking about the future of the show as a whole. It's been said on record that "The Mandalorian" is NOT (only) Din Djarin. but that it can be ANY of them. That's why all the side characters and Bo Katan this season. Because when they show season 4 Din Djarin may (possibly) NOT even be the main character. This season may have been Pedro Pascal's last one. And in Fact he was barely even involved in THIS season. He came in, did his lines and left. He was never IN the armor in this season like he was in the last two. I'm not talking about, nor do I even care about Jack Black and Lizzo. They're utterly irelevant.
Pedro was in the suit for season 1 for sure, and I think 2. But 3 he was busy filming Last of Us, so he could only provide the voice. If we ever get Mando in the future, I'm sure Pedro would gladly be in the suit as long as he's not doing other projects.
Thankyou for the video. Popcorn in Bed. It was great fun. 😀
Thrawn is a long time Villain in Star Wars Lore that originated in novels after the original movies. He will also be the the main enemy for the upcoming Ahsoka series.
Also in Star Wars Rebels
Episode 6 felt like a Star Wars cop show
The red guys were definitely designed by a rubber fetisher 😂
now that you have finished this you can continue with Ashoka which is only just finished its first season and is a branch of this series and a stand alone at the same time.
Thrawn and Maul are my favorite bad guys in Star wars. They are so smart and so scary but have this almost thanos like aspect to them, where they respect their opponents in different ways. Plus Maul is kinda sexy, and thrawn is a super genius that respects art and culture but they are ultimately evil in their actions due to their beliefs. you’ve got to watch these Animmated series!!!
Pedro Pascall is definitely in the Mando suit just not all the time you have been misinformed. The Action heavy sequences require that stunt doubles are used as insurance costs and actors not necessarily being trained combatants is a thing. It is also Disney policy that actors not trained in the specific stunts or heavy action sequences performed are not allowed to take part. Not exactly new either as it is industry standard, actors like Tom Cruise being the exception (not every actor can afford to get a licence to fly a fighter jet for a movie). Therefore ADR (dialogue is recorded by Pedro for these scenes). There is in fact only one episode in the series where he is completely absent for the entire episodes duration, that being Season 1 episode 'Sanctuary' as he was starring in King Lear on Broadway. The stunt actors used for different varieties of stunts or combat sequences are Brendan Wayne (grandson of John Wayne the western star) and Lateef Crowder who specialise in those specific fields.
Also not new to Star Wars:
-Vader for example is only voiced by James Earl Jones (James never wore the suit as it was worn by David Prowse to gain Vader's imposing presence but he was thought not to have an intimidating enough voice) on TH-cam there are unedited versions of Vader's scenes with the original actor dialogue preserved they change the character entirely.
-Christopher Lee was absent from all but the beginnings of lightsabre duels as he was to elderly to perform the stunts and his face was CG added after.
This is merely an industry standard and has been for decades. I hope this makes you feel better about the character immersion. You could think of it as three separate people pooling their skills to bring you the best version of Din Djarin which when you think about it means three people constantly studying each other to make a physically consistent and seamless performance. Quite amazing when you think about it.
Episode 6 was one "Jinkies!" short of being a Scoobie Doo episode. Mystery a kid could solve, obvious clues, special guest stars, chase scene, Scrappy Doo (Grogu) and the culprit was none other than...
Old Man Smithers!!!
My favorite is still season 1 but I did enjoy this season more than the second. Its expanding the world around Mando. I saw a lot of complaints online about the episode with cameos but I just thought it was fun.
It’s actually John Wayne’s grandson Brendon.
Mandolorian s3 was. I dunno if I like it or not. The ending was very starwars, but the episodes in the middle was wierd.
I dunno if someone said it to me, or if it is in my head but.
Disney forcing Grogu and Din Djarin back together in book of boba fett instead of it being in Mandolorian s3 made the schedule for the season all wierd.
If instead ep 1-3 be "how to get Grogu back" 5 and 6 the cleansing(bath in the mines of Mandolore), followed by ep 7 and 8 retaking of Mandolore. I think it would have felt alot smoother. Now Din Djarin bathed in ep 2, and then: "Soo, what is the big mission for this season?"
I am worried that people need to watch Clone Wars and rebels before Ahsoka. I will be clear: nobody knows if that will be needed, but I do think it will be useful. But it has many 20min episodes.
Shows like "The Last of Us" and "Andor" definitely have a darker, more mature feel to them. I do view Mando as being more appropriate for a wider audience. So I think the lighter tone of the show is fine, since I still find it very entertaining.
"like the appetizer" 😄
The Welder 😂. Brilliant
Episode 7 is the best one in the season
Shout out to Popcorn In Bed for reacting to a really good series! Thanks 🤗🤗😆
Pedro was still in the suit sometimes, as the actress who played the scientist in episode 6 said that she got to work with him.
Some TV series that I think you might enjoy reacting to on your channel:
1) The Legend of Vox Machina: It’s a fun, adult oriented, animated fantasy adventure series. So far there are only two seasons. Each season is 12 episodes long, and each episode is only about 25 minutes. Reacting to two episodes per week, you can get through the entire season (so far) in about 12 weeks. And if you liked The Lord of the Rings (which I know you did) you’ll love The Legend of Vox Machina.
2) Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Assuming that you’ve never seen the show before, I think it’ll be right up your alley. Humour, romance, action, and even a little bit of horror. Created and produced by Joss Whedon (the same guy who made Firefly, which I know you loved) it definitely has all of the elements that you love in your TV shows.
3) Highlander The Series: A spin off of the cult classic Highlander movie, this is another I think you’ll enjoy. You can react to the movie first if you want to. Honestly it really doesn’t matter, because the TV show retcons certain things from the movie. They also make references to what happened in the movie in the series, so you’ll get caught up through exposition anyway. In any case, there’s action, adventure, magic, romance, and the lead actor (Adrian Paul) is one heck of a good looking man. It is definitely something that you would enjoy watching.
I really, really recommend watching Star Wars Rebels before Ashoka comes out. SW: The Clone Wars would be good to watch as well, as that will give you Ashoka's story and her relationship with Anakin (as well as Bo Katan's story), but Ashoka is looking to basically be a straight continuation of Rebels, including many of the main characters of that show coming back. It's a lot to watch, so I'd do it on your own time rather than worrying about making reaction vids for it all, but it will really help put in to context the events we're about to see in Ahsoka (from all apparent reports).
You should have a look at Boston Dynamics if that droid running like a human seems strange. What they're doing is insane.
We both have the same laptop 🔥🔥🔥 Awesome
Happy Mother's Day Cassie 😊
25:32 Planet Quantersots....I like it, make it canon!! LOL
Looks like you got a new camera because I can tell that the resolution is sooooo much better! :)
For you to know who Grand Admiral Thrawn, you'll need to watch Star Wars: Rebels
I would have liked to have seen Pedro's Face but I understand that the way they do it gives him more Room to do other Projects and let's him come in and Record a session in a short amount of time so that he can have more Longevity in the Din Jaren Character.
Btw does this mean Din Jaren was just called Jaren at one point before the Creed?
So happy to see that the rest of this season made it to TH-cam. It makes sense to skip future seasons if copyright troubles are too much though.
The Elder Wand I mean Blade. lol 😂
I liked the season ending. I don't expect or want a season 4. I would prefer a movie or movies.
Happy Mother's Day ❤️
Thanks homie
Popcorn in the bed may have go watch and react Tales of the Jedi Show
If you want to deviate from Star Wars for kids thing... watch Andor. Great story!
The Mandalorian and Grogu Movie release date May 22, 2026.
"the welder"
I've never heard someone call the B1 droids "wiener dogs" lmao i love it
I agree with you about the show
RIP Pez! ❤😂
If you are looking for that deeper star wars that's even a bit more mature, please react to Andor.
I think she just wants good classic Star Wars. ANdor ain't it.
@@WickedScott no one asked what you thought. Go whine in someone else’s comment.
@@Filmfiend27 Fist time on the internet, genius? Find someone to hold your hand while you get your bearings. Comments are public
@@WickedScott Bricks and screws amirite chief?
Pedro Pascal said in an interview that he was overlapping production between this series and The Last of Us. They worked it so he could do both. Explains why we didn’t see his face.
That's not why we didn't see his face. He was on set so they could have shot a scene with his helmet off if they wanted to. There was simply no reason for it. Mando has consistently shown that he is more comfortable with his mask on.
I know you’ve already probably heard this a lot. But it would definitely be worth it to watch Clone Wars,Rebels, and Bad Batch. That way you will know Ashoka,Thrawn, and many more characters coming to live action. I understand it’s a lot to watch so it’s up to you whether you would watch it on the channel or in your own time if that’s what you decide to do.
