#TheBookofBobaFett #Reaction #ReturnoftheMandalorian - บันเทิง
When the Armorer told Din what he must do do reclaim himself I said to myself: "Let us go through the Mines of Moria!"
I thought "Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka"
@@supakame i hear that reference constantly, what does it refer to?
@@MagisterV224 Purple Rain starring Prince
@@MagisterV224 if you have not seen it watch Chappelle's Show - Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories - Prince
I remember first hearing the phrase "Wizard" from Darth Vader in Robot Chicken and he exclaimed he was bringing it back
Congrats Anakin 👏
Ya brought it back
There seems to be a common theme among reactions to this episode
TH-camr: “No, please don’t destroy the spear!”
Mando: “Can you make something for Grogu?”
TH-camr: “Alright, tick tock lady. Let’s go!”
also yes it's because of the crystal." "Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power. Your thoughts, your actions, they become energy. They flow through the crystal as well, and become a part of the blade." In other words, someone who lacks control and acceptance over their thoughts and feelings - or those with an undisciplined fighting style - will find the Darksaber heavier to hold, as all of that inner baggage channels into the blade, weighing it down.
Ye the Crystals inside light sabers are alive and what gives some light sabers their color. Sith light sabers bleed giving them the red color. Don't know if it's cannon anymore but ye.
@@zazoreal5536 I think it is still canon as ashoka did the reverse of the technique and it made her blades white
Really hope you guys manage to finish all of Rebels before you watch Mandalorian Season 3, you get the full perspective once you have that and Clone Wars under your belt :p
I doubt they’ll even finish CW before Mando S3, Rebels is just a pipe dream rn
That’s literally not possible. It will take them another year and a half to complete Clone Wars and then another couple years or more to complete Rebels and that’s if they don’t watch the Bad Batch in between.
@@discobroccoli198 they can do it
At least before the Ahsoka show, because it would kind of be required for it.
Unless they do the same as they do with Rebels and speed/binge it, they will never get through the Clone Wars and Rebels series
This latest episode of “The Mandalorian” made me feel nostalgic for The Phantom Menace lol. Mando’s new “old” ship is freaking awesome! 😁
I'm working on Naboo inspired Mandalorian armor so this was too weirdly cool!
5:52
That is a Ringworld. Unlike Halo rings, Ringworlds encircle a star and are powered by its solar energy. It has large panels between the star and ring to create a day and night cycle.
Ringworlds predate halo by decades.
hit a lot of nostalgic notes with the prequels but seeing a B-D model droid (the same one Cal Kestis befriends in Fallen Order) was aweeesome
This series is great. They are showing love to the books, comics, prequels, video games, and animated series. I'd love to see a Star Wars movie done by this team.
FUN FACT: The other X-Wing pilot played Luke’s double in The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale. 😊
With ANY lightsaber you are not using strength but instead controlling a flow of energy. Until Din can connect with the blade like Sabine, Tare, and Pre did he cannot use the Darksaber.
The Book of Boba Fett: Book 1: Chapter 5: The Mandalorian: Season 3: Episode 1
I love that they included the droid from Jedi: Fallen Order, BD-1.
Is it actually him? Or just another BD model???
@@atlas94450 Most likely just a BD model
@@atlas94450 It’s a generic BD model, says so in the subtitles
This episode was both S3E1 of The Mandalorian (a recursive backdoor pilot?), and an unabashed love letter to Episode I - I think people can disagree over whether it fits as a Book of Boba Fett episode or not, but it was an absolutely fantastic Star Wars story. (And some great cinematography, storytelling, and effects, from the one-er when Mando is using the elevator, to the sweet moment of him holding at the package that's tied in a way that looks like Grogu, to how absolutely gorgeous the N-1's entire flight sequence was.)
I love how they not only brought back references to all the cool parts of Episode I, but then they affectionately nod to the something that's generally mocked -- "Wizard" -- in a way that doesn't seem mean-spirited, and at least in my case got an appreciative chuckle out of me, even though that's my least-favorite SW movie.
This episode also balanced two things *really* well. First, the old and the new: I love how it gave us a cornucopia of Star Wars references -- not just Ep. I and Mando, but also Jedi: Fallen Order, Rebels, Rogue One, womp-rats in Beggars Canyon, the freaking *long rod that Han tries to brace open the trash compactor with* -- but at the same time gave us stuff we've never seen before like the C-shaped ringworld and scenes on the open space catwalks.
Second, the fantastic and the mundane: this episode does such a good job of alternating between the most every-day stuff -- a butcher shop that wouldn't be out of place in any period piece between the 1920s to today, an awkward elevator ride, airport & airplane hassles, rebuilding an antique junker in the garage, getting a speeding ticket -- and the type of amazing sci-fi spectacle Star Wars is known for -- Mando taking down a roomful of aliens, the amazing scene of the ringworld, a lightsaber vs beskar duel over an open starscape, the aforementioned gorgeous flight sequence across and above Tatooine). This episode was an absolute blast!
I really loved the canyon scene with the Naboo starfighter (Which is the same canyon where Anakin pod raced back in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace)
I like that they confirmed that it actually was Beggar’s Canyon that was in Episode I
And where Luke shot whomp rats in his T16 Skyhopper
Well, I tend to assume that was nearer Anchorhead (where Luke raced) but I view Beggar's Canyon as like an entire network of channels, myself.
Not that this's really more than headcanon, though.
Anyone want to bet that Cobb Vanth gets invited to Boba's party too?
Cobb: "Hey, that's the armor I got from those Jawas that I traded you! He did tell you that it was already damaged when I got it, right?"
Boba completely deadpan: "I know."
Ron Howard also directed Solo-A Star Wars Story, Willow, A beautiful mind, and over 40 other movies.
About re-apreciating the prequels, well they say time heals all wounds,..., and the sequels (specificly episode 8 and 9 to a lesser extend) make the prequels look positivly awesome 🤣
"We know Star Wars"
You still have a long way to go to truly understand the DarkSaber.
Twice the pride, double the fall.
Also, 99.9% of SW fans knew that ship was from The Phantom Menace! lol
BTW, Ringworlds often have large solid panels in a tighter orbit above the living surface to periodically block the sunlight and create artificial night. So that's probably what's happening here.
I totally forgot I was watching the book of boba fett and thought it was mandalorian for a second
Honestly, when you think about it, even though Peli Motto kinda screwed him over, it's better for Din to help fix the Naboo Starfighter in one day, that way he's not constantly having to pay for a ticket ship ride in and out of planets. Especially, when his occupation involves a lot of space adventures. The only downside is that his ride can only carry about one bounty.
Considering just how fast this modified N-1 is, I'd say the reduced cargo is more than a fair trade.
Just carry them all in cold 🥶 put the head in the back
I get the impression he's not going to be doing as much bounty work as he used to.
@@the_oc_maniac8972 Also, like how Din thought it was 'wizard'!
Like how Vader said in Robot Chicken 'I'm bringing it BACK!'... it seems, he did ( : (the word, that is)
@@chaost4544 maybe we will see mandalore and its moons
I think this is my favorite Normies video, strictly for the banter between these three. It's just so natural
I always find the smaller groups better
While listing the accomplishments of the incomparable *Ron* *Howard* - y'all neglected to mention he directed SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY! I'd say, considering the subject matter of the above video, it's pertinent. 😎
Its ok
It’s shit
The white goatee X-wing pilot (yes, that appeared in the Ice Spider episode of The Mandalorian) is Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, famous in Canada for the sitcom Kim's Convenience. He's also well known as a Star Wars super fan.
7:13 Chris realizing that the surname "Vizsla" sounds hella familiar lmao
With all these storylines coming over from the animated shows and getting more involved in these shows and future ones I think you guys need to start uploading 2 episodes of Clone Wars at minimum a week especially since you guys got Bad Batch and Rebels left to watch.
Dont you think they binge watched all the episodes by now?
@@markcruz359 They are usually an episode or 2 ahead of the latest Patreon upload and Chris just said they haven't even reached the Darth Maul storyline so no I don't think they binged the show.
@@markcruz359 They haven't even reached when TCW redesigned everyone.
Brace Dallas Howard also played in Terminator Salvation, that might explains the Mandalore Terminator scene
In the Star Wars Universe, all beings are connected to the force, even if they aren't "Force Sensitive", they explains this in Star Wars rebels. That means, that even for someone who is not Force Sensitive, the Kyber crystal in a lightsaber will have an effect on them. The lightsaber feels heavy for a non trained user because the crystal is constantly channeling energy, i.e. The Force, which is also drawn from the wielder of a lighsaber. So things like their thoughts, emotions, actions, etc.. it all affects the "ease" of how a lightsaber user can wield the weapon. In a sense its why its possible for non Force Sensitive to learn how to use a lightsaber, even if they'll never be as skilled with it as a trained Force User that is in better tune with, and is able to control their emotions. I found this episode extremely cool, and further added insight to the matter of how it is possible for a non force user to wield a lightsaber.

13:52 Damn, Damarin and Spidey are too knowledgeable for The Normies channel. Get them on all the reactions.
8:23 "Sadly, it only exists in legends . . ."
That was cold, Disney. Freaking cold. Colder than Hoth.
I wrote something in defense of Bo-Katan and her "flip-flopping" recently that helped me see her more clearly. Guessing she's going to be more important soon. The ep didn't have her in it but she is a big part of why the Mandalorian culture is what it currently is.
A great example of a young idealist whos' beliefs didn't survive contact with the real world, joining Death Watch the terrorist precursor to The Watch at a very young age. She might not believe in the old creed of the Mandalorians anymore, but she still believes she can affect good by her actions, just like her sister did. So being a reactionary to her core, unlike her sister, but having lost her faith, her actions are all perfectly consistent with a real person. She reminds me a lot of Leon Trotsky.
How she lost the saber is kind of a strange question. We haven't seen it but there's an event referenced in places called "The Great Purge of Mandalore" (or I guess now, The Night of a Thousand Tears). How she lost the saber isn't the question. How she's still alive at all would be a better one.
Mandalore is sometimes a planet but on other occasions referred to as a collection of planets. If there's one faction the Empire feared possibly even more than the Jedi, it would have been a united Mandalore, something Bo was actually doing, successfully, before said genocide. So again, the question isn't how she lost the saber but how she's still alive at all, effectively being the Bonnie Prince Charlie of Mandalore.
"I used to bullseye womp rats in beggars canyon", said Luke. We finally saw a womp rat.
For some reason I geeked out at that moment 😂
There are a lot of mythical swords in human history where the weight is more than the material it's composed of. Almost every culture in human history has legends on such weapons or armor. Excalibur comes to mind when I see The Dark Saber.
Strange that the Armorer said Beskar should only be forged for armor, not weapons, but aren't the whistling birds made out of Beskar? Didn't the Armorer use the excess Beskar Din Djarin gave her to make them?
Yeah that spear was badass. I get they wanted to make something for grogu but Mando looked so cool with the spear on his back and also having the saber hilted. Dude has so many weapons it seemed silly to lose one.
Love how the scene where he delivers the head of the bounty and all of that is a oneshot. So amazing!
I just want to say the editing in this reaction is top notch. To whomever edited this video: I see you. 👍
I wonder if we'll see Mando polishing his Naboo starfighter while yelling at someone "Get off my Lawn".
One of the most entertaining Star Wars trivia people I have seen on TH-cam has been known to go by the name Darth Fisto.
He is legend around these parts
The engines exposed because its from a different ship.
Din now has the equivalent of an LS swapped Miata in starfighter form
Mini van to a swapped miata. This man really is a dad
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one getting fast n furious vibes from the ship montage/escaping the cops
10:47 @The Normies,
This is why lightsabers are weapons of those who are Force sensitive. An old Jedi like Yoda was nimble AF the moment he let the Force move through him guiding his body and lightsaber throughout his bout with Dooku. Luke got zapped by that training droid in ANH because he wasn't connected to the Force, but the moment Obi-Wan put that helmet with the blast shield on Luke, obstructing his senses, Luke had no choice but to allow the Force to be his ally, allowing him to use the weapon gracefully and accurately.
This episode had a lot and has me confused:
1) The songs of eons past foretold of the Mythosaur rising up to herald a new age of Mandalore.
-Is Boba Fett that Mythosaur? Boba's the first Mandalorian we meet in Star Wars and he's also the first Mandalorian we see with a Mythosaur Signet. He's also a Mandalorian not recognized by either the former ruler of Mandalore and very likely the zealots. The Tuskens have completed Boba's training and he is now on a new path, which fits what the Armor was saying.
2) The Armorer recaps Tarre Vizsla's story, explaining that he was a Mandalorian of two cultures, Mandalore and the Jedi code and that he with the Darksaber ushered in a new area on Mandalore. Grogu is being set up to be the next Tarre Vizsla.
Deep down, however, I still think Din is supposed to be the one to unite the broken Mandalorian tribes. What the Armor said might be misdirects, but I do think we have some real connections to past characters/events to characters we have now that are also in a state of transformation. Din isn't transforming, but still trying to discover who he is.
Jedi uses the force to wield their lightsabers all those flashy backflips and impressive strikes all the force.
Lightsabers are supposed to be very heavy like a regular sword. Jedi have the force so of course, it would be easy for them
18:40 there’s a fan theory going on that the rodian kid here is (note this is an actual name) Hype Fazon from Star Wars resistance. A starfighter racing pilot in the series.
1. If wonder “oh we should watch-“ imma stop you there. Literally that show isn’t worth your time vs clone wars, rebels and bad batch. If also go “can’t be that bad as the holiday special” at least the special was stupid as hell to laugh at and enjoy it. Resistance doesn’t have that.
2. For ppl wondering how? Besides color the kid eyes is the same. Plus timeline wise he should be around same age as Hype in resistance if he grows up.
Rebels teaches all about the Dark Saber in action!
“Sadly, it only exists in legends” that’s a good joke
The Mando and Bobba objects on the table are a perfect illustration of the show so far.
Love that Shaker Engine Airbox. An ode to the Muscle Car Era.
lol Damerin same, I just saw my physician today when I schedule it back in November
That shot there at 6:38 reminds me of Telos IV (the station) in KOTOR 2.
Also at 12:28, yup, those are called Vibroblades, they come as swords too, also present in the KOTOR games, not sure where else.
Ah, I wish the rest of the gang was in this.
15:05
Mando spoke some Jawa in the very first episode.
the Jawa replied to him "You speak Jawa like a Wookiee!"
That shirt should be the new Punisher symbol, lol! The mythosaur & Frank Castle as a Mandalorian
What I think is, what the Armorer says about Jedi needing to forgo all attachment, we've seen time and again that if Jedi forgo _all_ attachments, they lose sight of what's happening in the present 🤔😔. Nothing is ever _truly_ absolute, and the same could possibly be true for the Way of the Mandalore 🤔, and Din Djarin will most likely find it 🤔😉👍🤞🙏.
That Halo-looking city where Mando delivered his bounty and met up with the Armorer reminded me of the Matt Damon film “Elysium”.
You kids should read more Larry Niven books. I recognized that Ring World immediately! I was nerding out the entire time!
That episode was totally wizard!
Big Halo vibes from that ring city/station.
Also I think it’s cool how the Dark Saber feels heavy & that’s why he injured himself, while wielders of Lightsabers usually injure themselves due to them being extremely light(if I remember correctly).
new sub. I like all the normies but really digging this trio's vibe
As far as the ring station goes, it's got more in common with the Ringworld concept from Larry Niven's Ringworld books. Basically a circular ring station with a star at the center of its diameter (in this case a very small star or artificial source) that additionally has a series of large panels orbiting between the inner ring and the star. The panels, as they orbit, allow for an artificial day/night cycle as they allow or block light from the star.
There's mirrors that's reflecting light onto the halo city, it showed them as it was first showing the halo. They do it to simulate day and night.
12:00 I find the concept of wielding and controlling the Dark-Saber to be more about how one wields a Katana, not Tai-Chi. Katana's are heavy swords and must be wielded in the way the forger intended it to be. Which is mostly downstrikes and horizontal slahes.
The Darksaber being all heavy and difficult to use gave me some slight Berserk vibes, especially when Heavy mando used it. Overall great episode
Din needs to come out & just say it:
*"I took off my helmet to save my child"*
*"But first; I got to go see my son in Jedi School"*
Because you already Grogu is running Luke ear with *"My Daddy Din Also did..."*
Correction in your video guys. Darth Maul is dead at this point. Watch Star Wars Rebels - Twin Suns episode the battle between Kenobi and Maul. At this point in the timeline, Maul is long dead and his Lieutenant Qira is probably in charge of Crimson Dawn at this point.
Amy Sedaris was the star of the iconic Strangers With Candy, which launched quite a few careers (Stephen Colbert).
The Halo world is essentially built around a stable star. The day/night cycle is controlled by interspersed plates rotating along the inside of the ring in order to block the light.
I very much appreciate that its not as easy to wield the Darksaber as i thought it would be.
Hate that Finn for example could easily use a Lightsaber in the Movies, i very much thought that Weapons like that are only used efficently with Training/the Force.
PS: Still wish Jedi/Sith Lightsaber fighting, and fighting with that kinda weapons was hard/impressive as shown in the Bane Book triology.
It kind of makes Moth Gideon more bad a$$ that he was able to master it.
Ron Howard also directed Solo.
That pilot from the spider episode is playing uncle iroh in the live action avatar!
This was my favorite episode in the entire series. God I love when they focus on the starships
As others explained, The Darksaber and every other saber is basically a continuous current of energy that affects the weight of the blade. The Darksaber is also special in that it reads the emotions of it's wielder and can be affected by said emotion. One example is in the Clone Wars and Rebels, we see on a few occasions that the energy of The Darksaber starts to escape the blade making it look similar to electricity.
If you look you'll see the "space city" is a complete ring. A true artifact of the RingWorld Engineers
Mando gotta purify himself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Ron Howard also directed Han solo a star wars story
Yoo Chris. I think the specs say the N-1 Starfighter reaches 600+Mph
Loved how the show covered the plot hole of how bo Katan got the dark saber from Sabine without fighting her for it but was unwilling to accept it from Mando.
If the ringworld is anything like the one from Larry Niven's series that predates Halo, they generates shadow zones by having smaller ring with shading panels that orbit closer to the star.
6:27 on a space station like that spinning would actually create artificial gravity by pushing those on the inside outward.
Of course, Star Wars appears to be able to create artificial gravity easily on ships without spinning.
Pre Vizla was governor of the moon of Concordia and leader of Death Watch AND Clan Vizla. He was the previous wielder of the Dark Saber... before he was killed by Maul and Maul became the wielder.
Paz Vizla is a member of his clan...if not his family.
Both Pre Vizla and Paz Vizla were played by John Favreau.
I am guessing right now, because Boba's present story hasn't been the main focus and Din no longer has the Covert or the Razorcrest for a home, that at the end of this season, Din Djarin will be living with Boba Fett at the palace! This sets up the Mandalorian season 3 being a great balance between Boba's new adventures and explaining Din's place amongst other Mandalorians. Also full episodes with Boba and Din on missions would be the greatest thing.
On the subject of Beskar being specifically for armor, the mandoa word for armor is "Beskargam," or Iron Skin, in the Legends continuity.
Also, i highly doubt Whistling Birds can be counted as armor.
Dathomir witches is from Empire at War RTS. and referenced in in the novel "The Courtship of Princess Leia" However it wont be till the Force Unleashed where the Filusians ride Rancors as an uncommon enemy.
Hey Normies! Probably won’t see this suggestion buried in the comments, but would LOVE to see you guys react to Ted Lasso if possible. It’s such an amazing show and I think you all would really enjoy it.
To be fair the idea of a Ringworld is not unique to the Halo IP. Technically, credit for that falls to the author Larry Niven and his novels. Regardless, it was really nice to see some new settings added to the lore. I'm always happy when Star Wars goes to places other than just Hoth and Tattooine.
I've always preferred "Star Trek" to "Star Wars" because "Star Wars" at times feels very one note. "Star Trek" delves into the culture, goes to different worlds, explores concepts of those worlds, etc. "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" feels Star Trek-like in it's story telling and has added much needed lore to the Star Wars universe.
You guys be looking like an Oreo cookie with 3 reactors today
“We know Star Wars.”
Do you? Some do, others (like those watching Clone Wars) haven’t got the full picture yet.
What if Mando created a ball out of the Beskar like the ball that Grogu always wanted from the Razor Crest??
There’s a serious bromance happening between the two guys on the right.
Ron Howard also directed Solo
Star Wars IS inspired by history. Old Samurai movies like The Hidden Fortress and The Seven Samurai. George Lucas was obsessed by Akira K. The whole concept of the samurai down to Vaders helmet.
It looks like a carburetor, awesome!!!
What if the legend of the mythosaur heralding a new age means that when Din goes to Mandalore into the collapsed mines, he actually finds one (in stasis or something)?
Din Djarin reeeeally needs to sign up for TSA precheck....
If the Razor Crest was his workvan then the starfighter is his Hyabusa superbike, with NOS.
Among all of the fan service notes in this episode, Is one that may have been missed was the reference to the original Superman movie (Clark v Train = Mando v Starliner)
Here are some of the physics of lightsabers:
1. lightsaber blades are not weightless they are made of plasma, plasma is a state of matter, matter has mass.
2. Lightsaber blades are not static, the plasma is in motion from the emitter out to its calculated shape and back to the collection ring. Essentially it is a plasma chainsaw constantly in motion at an extreme rate of speed. It is this mass in motion that generates gyroscopic effects very different from a normal or even vibroblade.
3. In addition to the unnatural gyroscopic effect in hand there is also the explosive knockback generated when the lightsaber is actively cutting an object, flash-vaporizing matter in contact with the blade, unskilled wielders will actually bounce the blade rather than follow through for clean cuts.
4. further complicating things is the intense magnetic field used to shape and contain the lightsaber blade, making it difficult to maintain in contact with another blade or resistant/shielded items. Is it can skip, skitter, or even kickback like a chainsaw blade pressed against a steel plate.
“Master Chief has entered the battle”
seems like people forget how mando also believes in the ways the mandalorians follow. Its not that they dont want him or are insane, there are just laws and rules they hold sacred like any other society or group.
Having the Darksaber is pretty much like having the Elder Wand in Harry Potter. Everyone who knows he has it and what it means is going to take a shot at him to test his mettle.
I did find it dumb that his mandalorian tribe and him fought together through thick and thin, but he had his helmet taken off once b/c he was dying and they're like "PAYCE"
Nah, he was referring to the time he voluntarily took his helmet off to see Grogu face to face. That's a violation of the core beliefs they had literally been raised on, and Din recognises this too. Hence his reluctance to answer and his request for forgiveness. But he told the truth. Because he still believes in it too. It sucks, but I don't think this is the last we see of the Children of the Watch. Hopefully they will be convinced to come around somehow.
