@@oneproudbrowncoat 🤷♂️ Well I never really thought about it. I suppose it would make sense for there to be "Grievous Prototypes", and that would be a pretty cool origin of this new villain.
Disneyfilm pulls nostalgia strings yet again! They're a trash company making trash products relying on cameos from popular characters and bits and pieces from EU lore to keep Star Wars afloat! The very same Expanded Universe they *PUT THROUGH THE SHREDDER* and *ERASED* because "they didn't want it to interfere with their creative process", or someshit like that! Pathetic! I really envy you guys for enjoying this, I wish I could... Didn't watch anything since the end of Mando Season 2... Star Wars is dead, long live the "sT4r WAr5", I guess?
The Mythosaur that seen in the episode, reminded me of a moment in the Clone Wars series. When after the Zilo Beast was discovered after that bomb hit, before then the Dougs thought they were extinct when it turns out they weren't. Also the smith said that once the Mythosaur returns a big change will happen for Mandalore.
It’s great to return to Mandalore in live action. However, it’s definitely sad to see the results of the Empire’s cruelty. The Mandalorians should’ve placed a city wide shield over the dome.
There are few people more deserving of what the Empire did than the Mandalorians. How many worlds did they turn to glass and how many species did they genocide like the Cathar? Fuck em.
Seeing the dark under cities and ruined cities is always haunting to watch. Just seeing everything built up only to be torn down and left in ruins is a tragedy and a dreadful sight. It makes one see planets like Coruscant or Taris in a very different light. It's a tragedy seeing great worlds like these destroyed and left to rot. It always hurts seeing beauty left to ruin, like Coruscant, Taris, and Mandalore, planets built up over thousands of years, left to ruins in various ways.
There are actually quite a few old cities here on Earth that have forgotten under-layers below them. The series Cities of the Underworld explored a few, and there are TH-cam videos as well.
Considering Mando technology is considered amongst the ranks of "The Good Stuff" the fact that they didn't have a planetary shield network was a major act of hubris on their part. Mandalorian Iron comes from only the one place that we know of. There should have been a massive defensive network that a planetary shield was just a single part of, to be frank.
Oh man, what a week for revelations and reveals! Loved the sneak peak at the ancient once, Bo-Katan seemingly refinding some of her spirit and resolve, and Grogu playing a more active role! Love the content as always, thanks for taking the time.
If I were the chancellor of the New Republic, my first project (or at least one of them) would be to volunteer people who care to help rebuild all those cities
No one would volunteer to help Mandalore. Most people were glad that Mandalore was obliterated. How many worlds did the Mandalorians turn to glass, how many worlds did they genocide and enslave?

Do you think that Commander MayDay possibly is CT-1226? He never got a true name in any canon, just known that he was in the first battle of Geonosis. Admiral Rampart told Crosshair that he was placed under a new Commander since Commander Cody was reported to be AWOL. The next mission we see involving Crosshair was him meeting MayDay. Also, what chances could there be of Cody being turned into a Dark Trooper, Troopers especially Clones typically just don't vanish normally unless someone wanted them to disappear or they take a big risk to leave.

We live, in blessed harmony with the things that live in the spaces we try not to think about. Until we do. Until that space spreads, until the sun fades and those dark spaces are all that's left. Only then do we understand how fragile that harmony was, only then do we understand that the nightmares that scuttled out from under the bed at the end of it all, had been keeping us company all along. The Earth has those spaces too, forgotten echoes lost in the din of an ageless silence. We evolved in the sun, to be nourished by the light and all that to which it gave root but there are things that did not know the sun, that did not know the rain, or the touch of grass, or the kiss of the wind. Every single human being alive feels an overpowering wonder at the thought of a cave but buried beneath the complacency of the civilised mind is a shrieking alarm that knows full well what festers where light and love have no purchase. This world is a living thing, and those veins and arteries tunnel deep into the crust, into the very flesh of the Earth. There are sins down there that no holy book has hells for. Though, stay a while, you might learn why they don't need one.
It's one thing to hear about the devastation, but it's another to see it firsthand. When Bo-Katan mentioned reclaiming Mandalore back in season 2 many of us probably thought that while the damage was bad it couldn't have been that bad if they think they can get it back, plus as shown by Tattoni, even a planet that gets glassed by orbital bombardment can still recover and have a decent place for people to live, especially with how things seem to have improved under Boba Fett's leadership. But then we finally saw Mandalore for the first time in live-action and it wasn't as bad as I thought, it was a lot worse. It's heartbreaking, it feels like just yesterday we saw these streets bustling with life, shining with beauty, and being the sights of many decently epic battles where noble decent Mandalorians fought the ones that choose to side with the evil likes of Maul or the Empire. But now look at these streets, their decilent, their dark, their dingy, and home to some not-too-friendly creatures. It especially hurts when Bo-Katan starts reminiscing about it to Din and Grogu, about the good old days, when the city stood proud and some Jedi and Mandalorians even got along to help save the planet from the likes of Maul and the Empire, sure maybe things were great back then at times but it was still better then what the planet is now. The Empire destroys everything it touches, even itself as I talked about in yesterday's video on the new episode of The Bad Batch.
There are few more deserving of what happened than the Mandalorians. How many worlds did they turn to glass and how many species like the Cathar did they genocide? The Mandalorians got what they deserved.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 Those happened almost 4000 years ago, I say let it go at this point, there people are trying to be better, well, some are, some have no sense of honor or anything redeemable.
While this is all true, and it is an incredibly horrible tragedy, this isn't the end. Mandalore has been glassed many a times over the centuries. Sometimes by others, sometimes by their own doing. Time and time and time again, they've come back from the brink of destruction and rebuilt. Bo-Katan once said that Mandalore will always survive, and she was right. Mandalore has survived before, and it will survive again. But to do that, they need someone to guide their efforts, to protect their people, and to rebuild their civilization once again. What they need is a new Mand'alor. The question is who will it be?
@@occam7382 Some are actually speculating it will be both Din and Bo-Katan. They both have their good qualities so if they work together, they might be able to unite all the remaining Mandalorians together to rebuild and be ready to aid Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra, and the New Republic for the battle with Thrawn that is sure to come. Especially since Din said in this episode he is in Bo-Katan's debt for her help saving him, so I think helping her reunite all the Mandalorians would be a good way to repay that debt.
People complaining about Dins incompetence in this episode are forgetting the amount of times he was incompetetent in season one, two, and BOBF. Mild incompotence is a part of his character. To normal guys, he is a badass, but alongside other mandalorians he is just a normal guy. That is part of the reason he is so fun to follow. If he was an unstoppable action figure he wouldnt be as interesting. Isn’t that why so many people say they dislike Rey? And people complaining about Bo-Katans competence in this episode… are idiots, and lets just leave it at that. HOLY SHIT I GOT COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Honestly I thought him being incompetent in previous seasons was meant to give him an arc and character growth. He can't just continue being incompetent in the third season when he lived through a lot more now. Boba Fett should definitely not have been as incompetent as he was in his show when he has way more experience than anyone else.
I don't even get how Din was apparently incompetent in this episode. Sure, he struggled when fighting the Alamites with the Darksaber, but come on, dude's still struggling to use that thing, calm down. Plus, he didn't cut off a piece of his own flesh this time sooo....progress? And who the hell would've expected that cyborg spider thing? No one. Absolutely no one. Unless you have the Force. Also yes, the people who complain about Bo-Katan being a badass are idiots.
Thank you. Someone finally said it. In my opinion Din is still your average human being. Just with more combat and battlefield related experience. But he can still be defeated or killed if he was outnumbered or fought against a powerful Jedi, Sith or force-sensitive individual.
@@occam7382 I agree. Also no one puts things about putting themselves in the character shoes. Would any of us be able to handle to ruined planet full of dangerous mutants animals and beasts. I highly doubt a person with military experience person would able to handle a situation like that. Unless they were well prepared and knew the ruined planet of Mandalor inside and out. And Din didn't know anything at first glance. Which why he was having trouble or was captured as well.
That image of Sundari, it's either a flashback of Bo-Katan's childhood or there's going to be a time skip, showing Mandalore being restored. Our own planet shows that it can heal itself. Look at Chernobyl. While inhospitable to humans, flore and fauna have reclaimed it. The mythosaur, the weird morlock creatures, the dragon lizards - all point to the fact Mandalore is healing and will recover. In time.
@@decrepitgod2627 I just see it in a different perspective. Heck, even in our own reality. Many scientist have theorized that there’s some type of large sea creature deep within our own oceans. I think it’s possible since the Anglerfish exist.
In another video recap on this episode the TH-camr said Din slipped or fell into the water. I think this a Easter egg for the trash compactor and Luke being pulled under if my theory is correct way to go team Jon/Dave
the cyborg/droid one-eye thing might be like the mandalorian version of pickle-rick, one lone scientist driven mad by the destruction and desperate to survive. perhaps it was just trying to clone Din, planning to transplant it's brain from the droid head casing.
I pitched a post-apocalyptic survival horror game that was set in the Star Wars universe. Droid uprising, destroyed infrastructure thanks to a planetary bombardment, massive plagues and the Black wing Virus resurrecting the dead all while trying to build a ship to escape off world, only to find out that the empire existed
Did anyone else notice that the cyborg's head section crawling around had a piece of metal which looked very close to a Mandalorian pauldron? Considering the word it lives on and the fact that it not only chose a more humanoid-looking body, but was also clearly intelligent, you have to wonder that that thing actually used to be. Does anyone happen to know which sentient races may have been around in that time period to end up becoming that thing?
@@leeflorence3838 All we really have to go on is the appearance of it's eye, the body's overall form, and the location. I think it was probably a Mandalorian, from a near-human race that fits the typical armor but had eyes which look more yellow. It probably got injured by a bomb when the empire blew up the cities, then resorted to extreme cybernetics to survive, very much like Grievous.
2 tragic Star Wars episodes from different series in 1 week. The tragedy of the clones continued in The Bad Batch and in The Mandalorian we saw the devastated Mandalore for the first time.
I’d be interested in a deep dive of the planet Shola. As best I can tell, it’s only mention has been in Star Wars: Empire At War, where it’s a volcanic wasteland, but the game mentions that whatever species used to live there had mined almost to the planet’s core. Hopefully you’d be able to find out more.
the mythosaur was so cool cuz i know what it is from star wars books (republic commandos for the win) and channels like this. well, this and generation tech mostly. did think they were exinct though so its cool to see one alive
I don't know, the potential of seeing the likes of Coruscant slowly but surely decay into something akin to Dark Souls is... temptingly beautiful, to say the least.
There are few more deserving of that than the Mandalorians. What the empire did to Mandalore is nothing compared to what the Mandalorians did to countless worlds and species. There are entire species the Mandalorians wiped out the Republic never was even able to make contact with.
She hasn't earned the saber back from Mando. She has to beat him in combat and earn the blade before she can do anything with it and have it mean anything. You literally can't just hold it and be the rightful owner you have to have earned it. She made it very clear herself that it must be won not given freely.
One personal hope for Mandalorian is that they have the Taung. Throughout the episode, I kept convincing myself that the Alamites or droid-thing were some sort of Cthon or Taung. I really hope they do reveal the Taung!
@Joshua Davis Exactly! They are extinct, and we have never seen a taung in visual media, so I just want some proof that they are still out there or to even being acknowledged at all. Would it not be great to see even a single taung or their descendants in the show?
Didn't Mandalore the First and his sucessors hunt the Mythosaur to extinction in Legends? If that is the case, it looks like early Mandalorian history is being rewritten, with Mandalore the Great replacing Mandalore the First and riding the Mythosaur replacing it getting hunted to exctinction. Also, weren't the New Manalorians ruling the planet ever since the Excision? I'm asking because I don't know, so how does Bo Katan's father dying in defense of the planet mesh with that?
There was a civil war between the New Mandolorians and the Deat Watch prior to the clone wars. Perhaps Bo Katan's father fought in that war and she viewed him as defending the planet. This is just my speculation, though, and I don't know if there is any information on her father in legends or cannon.
Well, apparently one of those things managed to survive, and nobody knew about it. I mean, it happened before with the Zillo Beast, and that was way bigger. It could happen here. And I could still see the first Mandalorians eventually driving the Mythosaurs to extinction, so I think this still jives with the old stories. Also no, the New Mandalorians were formed long after the Excision. They were formed by Bo-Katan's father, Adonai Kryze, to be exact. They fought against Death Watch and the True Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Civil War some time prior to the Battle of Naboo, and near the end of that war he was killed (How, I don't know), and was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Satine as leader of the New Mandalorians, who eventually won the Civil War.
Taris: part of what was left out: 1. It was the humans vs. alien species that was part of the civil war. 2. 3,000 years BBY the republic did try to restore Taris, but their efforts were thwarted by the Sith empire who took over the planet and destroyed Republic efforts.
One point that I disagree with: Sundari doesn't look like a city from Fallout. The cities in Fallout are still somewhat intact. Sundari is just destroyed
Actually I agree with his point. Sundari does look like a city from Fallout. For example in Fallout 1 there was a mutant terraform city called Necropolis. Full of super mutants, ghouls and other mutanted animals that once called that place home.
@@flyingfoamtv2169 no they are some creatures that used to live in the outskirts of mandalore, I dont believe a species like the tuangs can deevolve into a primitive creature like that without mandalorian society noticing it, since they are said to be extinct.
The Nameless cyborg was a LITERAL Fallout General Grevious. There should have been deranged and glitching CIS battle droids around still following some command from THIER general.
I think mandalore could recover not on *any* timescale relevant to star wars, but it could recover, and for two simple reasons: the planet still has life, and presumably still has a molten core. It might take millions of years, but eventually the remaining organisms, along with the planet's tectonic activity, should slowly rebuild an ecosystem and livable landscape
This sadly enough is not the only horror that the Empire done, in Legends {Extended Universe}, you can find additional worlds suffered greatly by the hands of the Empire or other past wars. And yet other times there was society issues. Good ideas that doom a world, and for example we have the world of Raxus Prime, a beautiful world of lagoons and islands that was so beautiful it served as one of three capitals of the Kingdom of Cron, an ancient kingdom. It became a hub for manufacturing and technology, and over the centuries and reaching the era of the Galactic Empire. Once a beautiful world was heavily polluted and transformed into a planet size junkyard where all junk appears to go to be recycled, like the Empire used this world as a source of resources to build their Star Destroyers.
The abandoned city of Mandalore is so reminiscent of Khazad-dûm/Moria and I love it.

@@A_Black_Sheep94 Those happened almost 4000 years ago, I say let it go at this point, there people are trying to be better, well, some are, some have no sense of honor or anything redeemable.
@@zexalbrony4799 Their code makes them incompatible with any real form of civil government.
While this is all true, and it is an incredibly horrible tragedy, this isn't the end. Mandalore has been glassed many a times over the centuries. Sometimes by others, sometimes by their own doing. Time and time and time again, they've come back from the brink of destruction and rebuilt. Bo-Katan once said that Mandalore will always survive, and she was right. Mandalore has survived before, and it will survive again. But to do that, they need someone to guide their efforts, to protect their people, and to rebuild their civilization once again. What they need is a new Mand'alor. The question is who will it be?
@@occam7382 Some are actually speculating it will be both Din and Bo-Katan. They both have their good qualities so if they work together, they might be able to unite all the remaining Mandalorians together to rebuild and be ready to aid Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra, and the New Republic for the battle with Thrawn that is sure to come. Especially since Din said in this episode he is in Bo-Katan's debt for her help saving him, so I think helping her reunite all the Mandalorians would be a good way to repay that debt.
This is like half the imperium in warhammer. Star Wars needs to keep up
9:08 ah nice, a jurassic park reference, cool to see!
Seeing Mandalore like that with my own eyes honestly made me feel a bit sad given the great history of the Mandalorians
People complaining about Dins incompetence in this episode are forgetting the amount of times he was incompetetent in season one, two, and BOBF. Mild incompotence is a part of his character. To normal guys, he is a badass, but alongside other mandalorians he is just a normal guy. That is part of the reason he is so fun to follow. If he was an unstoppable action figure he wouldnt be as interesting. Isn’t that why so many people say they dislike Rey?
And people complaining about Bo-Katans competence in this episode… are idiots, and lets just leave it at that.
HOLY SHIT I GOT COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Honestly I thought him being incompetent in previous seasons was meant to give him an arc and character growth. He can't just continue being incompetent in the third season when he lived through a lot more now. Boba Fett should definitely not have been as incompetent as he was in his show when he has way more experience than anyone else.
I don't even get how Din was apparently incompetent in this episode. Sure, he struggled when fighting the Alamites with the Darksaber, but come on, dude's still struggling to use that thing, calm down. Plus, he didn't cut off a piece of his own flesh this time sooo....progress? And who the hell would've expected that cyborg spider thing? No one. Absolutely no one. Unless you have the Force. Also yes, the people who complain about Bo-Katan being a badass are idiots.
Thank you. Someone finally said it. In my opinion Din is still your average human being. Just with more combat and battlefield related experience. But he can still be defeated or killed if he was outnumbered or fought against a powerful Jedi, Sith or force-sensitive individual.
@@occam7382 I agree. Also no one puts things about putting themselves in the character shoes. Would any of us be able to handle to ruined planet full of dangerous mutants animals and beasts. I highly doubt
a person with military experience person would able to handle a situation like that. Unless they were well prepared and knew the ruined planet of Mandalor inside and out. And Din didn't know anything at first glance. Which why he was having trouble or was captured as well.
That image of Sundari, it's either a flashback of Bo-Katan's childhood or there's going to be a time skip, showing Mandalore being restored.
Our own planet shows that it can heal itself. Look at Chernobyl. While inhospitable to humans, flore and fauna have reclaimed it.
The mythosaur, the weird morlock creatures, the dragon lizards - all point to the fact Mandalore is healing and will recover. In time.
Chernobyl has longbeen hospitable by humans, it might not be as healthy of an area as where most of us live, but infact theres people living there
"At least the planets main issue was pollution and zombies" there's something worse?
Monsters and mutated sea creatures deep inside the ocean of a planet.
@@kingnamor777 damn dog
@@decrepitgod2627 I just see it in a different perspective. Heck, even in our own reality. Many scientist have theorized that there’s some type of large sea creature deep within our own oceans. I think it’s possible since the Anglerfish exist.
@King Namor 777 you're not wrong giant squids megalodon sharks all type of stuff
In legends Tatooine is also what remains of a planet devastated by a war.
In another video recap on this episode the TH-camr said Din slipped or fell into the water. I think this a Easter egg for the trash compactor and Luke being pulled under if my theory is correct way to go team
Jon/Dave
Honestly seeing the ruins of mandalore reminded me of how harshly the empire devastated the Mandalorians
Some serious grim dark 40K underhive going on in this episode!
the cyborg/droid one-eye thing might be like the mandalorian version of pickle-rick, one lone scientist driven mad by the destruction and desperate to survive. perhaps it was just trying to clone Din, planning to transplant it's brain from the droid head casing.
I pitched a post-apocalyptic survival horror game that was set in the Star Wars universe.
Droid uprising, destroyed infrastructure thanks to a planetary bombardment, massive plagues and the Black wing Virus resurrecting the dead all while trying to build a ship to escape off world, only to find out that the empire existed
I think you should do a video on Coruscant's underworld
R-2 fire pit is a nice touch!
Seeing a Mythosaur for the first time in any visual Star Wars medium, in live-action no less, was pretty damn jarring
Did anyone else notice that the cyborg's head section crawling around had a piece of metal which looked very close to a Mandalorian pauldron? Considering the word it lives on and the fact that it not only chose a more humanoid-looking body, but was also clearly intelligent, you have to wonder that that thing actually used to be. Does anyone happen to know which sentient races may have been around in that time period to end up becoming that thing?
Technically ANY race can become a Mandalorian and therefor be on world when it all went down. So it could literally be any species out there.
@@leeflorence3838 All we really have to go on is the appearance of it's eye, the body's overall form, and the location. I think it was probably a Mandalorian, from a near-human race that fits the typical armor but had eyes which look more yellow. It probably got injured by a bomb when the empire blew up the cities, then resorted to extreme cybernetics to survive, very much like Grievous.
Most cities are called concrete jungles. Corusant is more like a metal ocean
2 tragic Star Wars episodes from different series in 1 week. The tragedy of the clones continued in The Bad Batch and in The Mandalorian we saw the devastated Mandalore for the first time.
You know what i thought of while watching? I kept thinking about what Ullyses from New Vegas once said: "Who are you who do not know your history?"
When I first saw it in the episode the planet reminded me of Malachor V as we saw it in KOTOR 2
I saw this one video. A long time ago. That said Coruscant lower levels of 3 through 1 had Rancors and other mutant creatures inside.
I always thought Corisant would run out of air with no trees and plants just city. I guess they could constantly make a breathable atmosphere.
I got goosebumps when din flew over the destroyed dome it was an amazing shot
As you might know, the under city and the top city of Corusant kinda reminds me of between Piltover and Zaun from Arcane
A lot of this episode gave off serious Force Unleashed vibes to me
I would like to know more about the cybork think that caputered Dinn, what the hell was that ...
The more you talk about the lower levels (with the nasties in the shadows), almost sounds like a Drow city!
I’d be interested in a deep dive of the planet Shola. As best I can tell, it’s only mention has been in Star Wars: Empire At War, where it’s a volcanic wasteland, but the game mentions that whatever species used to live there had mined almost to the planet’s core. Hopefully you’d be able to find out more.
the mythosaur was so cool cuz i know what it is from star wars books (republic commandos for the win) and channels like this. well, this and generation tech mostly. did think they were exinct though so its cool to see one alive
When I heard about what the bith did, all I could think about is that the y'bith became ghouls
I don't know, the potential of seeing the likes of Coruscant slowly but surely decay into something akin to Dark Souls is... temptingly beautiful, to say the least.
Remember that you may live in the zombie infested bowels of a planet sized city... but you can always play a game of pazzak.
Mandalore looks more like Malachor V than anything now thanks to the Empires cruelty.
There are few more deserving of that than the Mandalorians. What the empire did to Mandalore is nothing compared to what the Mandalorians did to countless worlds and species. There are entire species the Mandalorians wiped out the Republic never was even able to make contact with.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 but you don't punish a society for their ancestral sins.
@@lucagerulat307 Doesn't mean you have to give a fuck either.
@@lucagerulat307 This dude has been spamming this whole comment section. Just ignore him.
@@lucagerulat307 yep its the same kind of logic some people use to condem modern day germans lmao
Seeing the mythosaur was fun.
I'm now wondering if Bo-Katan will fight it with the darksaber and reclaim her rule.
She hasn't earned the saber back from Mando. She has to beat him in combat and earn the blade before she can do anything with it and have it mean anything. You literally can't just hold it and be the rightful owner you have to have earned it. She made it very clear herself that it must be won not given freely.
Geetsly: *taking about the horrors of the underworld of Coruscant.
40K fans: *laughs in Hive City*
One personal hope for Mandalorian is that they have the Taung. Throughout the episode, I kept convincing myself that the Alamites or droid-thing were some sort of Cthon or Taung. I really hope they do reveal the Taung!
Aren't the Taung extinct?
@Joshua Davis Exactly! They are extinct, and we have never seen a taung in visual media, so I just want some proof that they are still out there or to even being acknowledged at all. Would it not be great to see even a single taung or their descendants in the show?
Didn't Mandalore the First and his sucessors hunt the Mythosaur to extinction in Legends? If that is the case, it looks like early Mandalorian history is being rewritten, with Mandalore the Great replacing Mandalore the First and riding the Mythosaur replacing it getting hunted to exctinction.
Also, weren't the New Manalorians ruling the planet ever since the Excision? I'm asking because I don't know, so how does Bo Katan's father dying in defense of the planet mesh with that?
Disney canon and especially a Filoni show rewrtiting Legends? Never happened before 😁
There was a civil war between the New Mandolorians and the Deat Watch prior to the clone wars. Perhaps Bo Katan's father fought in that war and she viewed him as defending the planet. This is just my speculation, though, and I don't know if there is any information on her father in legends or cannon.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem yes, she's referring to the civil war where Kenobi was involved
Well, apparently one of those things managed to survive, and nobody knew about it. I mean, it happened before with the Zillo Beast, and that was way bigger. It could happen here. And I could still see the first Mandalorians eventually driving the Mythosaurs to extinction, so I think this still jives with the old stories. Also no, the New Mandalorians were formed long after the Excision. They were formed by Bo-Katan's father, Adonai Kryze, to be exact. They fought against Death Watch and the True Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Civil War some time prior to the Battle of Naboo, and near the end of that war he was killed (How, I don't know), and was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Satine as leader of the New Mandalorians, who eventually won the Civil War.
Civil war.
It’s need at most 15 years since we’ve seen Mandalore. We saw it in Rebels Season 4.
I wouldn't mind sharing a city with those giant slug things.
Taris: part of what was left out:
1. It was the humans vs. alien species that was part of the civil war.
2. 3,000 years BBY the republic did try to restore Taris, but their efforts were thwarted by the Sith empire who took over the planet and destroyed Republic efforts.
I would REALLY love to go Deep into Coruscant in Jedi Survivor
I swear that machine creature was a mandlore had to survive this nuked waste land. Alone.
In which year played rebels on mandalore? Was it before the night of 1000 tears?
I think it's 2 years before Yavin
Can we appreciate how these guys have subtitles for almost every video 🔥
Pffff alamites... I know a Morlock when I see one
One point that I disagree with: Sundari doesn't look like a city from Fallout. The cities in Fallout are still somewhat intact. Sundari is just destroyed
Actually I agree with his point. Sundari does look like a city from Fallout. For example in Fallout 1 there was a mutant terraform city called Necropolis. Full of super mutants, ghouls and other mutanted animals that once called that place home.
when 40k fans talk about exterminatus again, show them this
When stuff like this happens, it's the biosphere that I care the most about
What I want to know is what was that robot and what was it planning to do with din
Idk if I’m insane or not but I thought the Alimites (probably spelled wrong) were Mandolorians who survived the purge and evolved in that
It could be that some people survive and Then created a high breed between them
the alimites seem to be the disney canon version of tuangs.
@@flyingfoamtv2169 no they are some creatures that used to live in the outskirts of mandalore, I dont believe a species like the tuangs can deevolve into a primitive creature like that without mandalorian society noticing it, since they are said to be extinct.
Like that Mando mob didn't do similar to others . Now play you're favourite music .
Din Djarin when he was getting into the water and reciting the creed didn't finished reciting before that monster got him.
The Nameless cyborg was a LITERAL Fallout General Grevious. There should have been deranged and glitching CIS battle droids around still following some command from THIER general.
What are the chances we might see the Taung species come back now that the Mythosaur are also back?
I kinda hope not, since at this point they've been "extinct" for like, 20,000 years.
Every time mando hits the bye bye switch I get so hyped
We don't need to go to a galaxy far far away to see what happens when things collapse. Just go to Sudan or any of the small African nations.
The return of the mythosaur is a sign form the ancient Mando gods.
a planet without a magnetic field would be made uninhabitable by the radiation from its parent star haha.
I think mandalore could recover
not on *any* timescale relevant to star wars, but it could recover, and for two simple reasons: the planet still has life, and presumably still has a molten core.
It might take millions of years, but eventually the remaining organisms, along with the planet's tectonic activity, should slowly rebuild an ecosystem and livable landscape
This is the way! OYA MANDA! OYA MANDO'ADE!!!
Must be something in the water.
If I had beskar I'd totally explore those ruined cities
All I have to say is I love your videos
I'm shipping ManBo!❤️
Looking forward to see how their relationship grow. 😆
Mandalore looks similar to a world glassed by the covenant
This sadly enough is not the only horror that the Empire done, in Legends {Extended Universe}, you can find additional worlds suffered greatly by the hands of the Empire or other past wars.
And yet other times there was society issues. Good ideas that doom a world, and for example we have the world of Raxus Prime, a beautiful world of lagoons and islands that was so beautiful it served as one of three capitals of the Kingdom of Cron, an ancient kingdom. It became a hub for manufacturing and technology, and over the centuries and reaching the era of the Galactic Empire. Once a beautiful world was heavily polluted and transformed into a planet size junkyard where all junk appears to go to be recycled, like the Empire used this world as a source of resources to build their Star Destroyers.
The lower levels of Coruscant remind me of "Down Below/Brown Sector" on Babylon 5, just on a much larger scale.
If they bring in a Taung tribe, that would be insane
Bombarding mandalore is the best option. No more lame toy seller character from there
