First Bo Katan loses the Darksaber to Djin, then she gets outcast, then her house gets destroyed, and now she’s forced to be a part of Djin’s religion, if she was allowed to take her helmet off she’d be screaming

Yeah, it's gonna tie into the rise of the First Order. I don't see any way it's not. Which is kinda disappointing because the Sequels aren't just bad movies, they're really kinda garbarge lore. As bad as the Prequels were, they had building blocks that could be used to make better things, especially when you zoomed back from the Space Wizards. But the Sequels were just bad fanfiction that comes off as if written in three parts by three different writers who didn't like each other or each others' their ideas.

Tired of seeing “if they do sequel stuff I’m gone” even tho it seems like on these series (atleast Mando and Bad batch) it was setting up the explanation of palpatine returing and the origins of snoke since the beginning. This recent episode of mandalorian just makes me think they’re going to get into that shit, Dr. Pershing will be brainwashed and brought back to the empire by Kane and probably start or get atleast halfway done through the cloning of the Emperor before getting replaced by a actual Empire sympathizer, no matter how you cut it all these events will lead up to the sequels, although the theory of “the new beyond” will divert some of the shows (Around the time of the Mandalorian) to a “new era” in the undiscovered regions of space along with skeleton crew which would explain why most of these characters isn’t in the sequels, but I think other shows will finish these story arcs. Unlike y’all I’m not a big baby about the sequels, yes they suck because of bad writing but one of 2 paths for the timeline will either go after the sequels or away from the sequels in the outer regions of space, but no matter what time will have to pass the years of when the sequels take place.

[@sokar_rostau]

Disney's genius move was to look at the MCU and recognise the untapped potential of the Star Wars universe. The EU is, of course, ripe for the picking but the sequels also give them an almost blank-slate. I don't remember the actual timeline but there's like 15 years worth of New Republic stories to tell between Mando and Force Awakens. There's abundant scope for plenty of conflict and intrigue. Personally, I want to see a Clone Wars anthology series that follows lesser-known and unknown Jedi leading their troops on planets we've never heard of.

[@harrisonwalton]

The middle segment where we were not watching The Mandalorian went on far too long.

[@Lowgem]

Honestly, it was so jarring and disconnected from the story. Felt like I was watching a different show for 60% of the episode and it ended having absolutely nothing to do with the story at the end anyway. Comes off like we really didn't need to see it. Maybe it'll be tied into the story next episode but it has me worried. I just want the Mando show to be about Mando(s)

[@harrisonwalton]

@@Lowgem I don't mind a bit of World building but it just dragged on far too long and everything that was going to happen was obvious. It was also seriously dumb that a guy in control of a mind flayer set to the 'nice' setting would leave some random 'friend' alone at the controls.

[@toastyrules8221]

I was overjoyed to see an existing planet being used instead of always getting new ones and getting a bit more fluff about the state of the new republik after the war was a nice touch. Them leaving during the procedure wasn't the dumb part since they set her up as the most reintegrated individual of the program, but why was it still possible to set the device to such a high power. That scene would've been better if she rigged the "not mindflayer" to function like one again.

[@XFoX90]

Yeah, it just felt like watching a whole different show. I just don't get this new thing in TV where they switch to a complete different story line that has nothing to do with the the main one and drags so long that it makes you check the title of the episode to make sure you're still watching the same show.

[@solarflaredragoon]

Thrawn, in the comics uses cloning to bring back 2 different jedi as sith(one being a cloned Luke Skywalker from his hand) as part of his plan to crush the New Republic. I'm pretty sure those tie bombers and interceptors were from Admiral Thrawn's fleet. They have been setting up Thrawn and Ezras return for quite some time. The mention of Thrawn from season 2, the cats from Ezras home planet, the purgil from earlier this season...it's clear where they are going with this.

[@solarflaredragoon]

@matt a I think he will be introduced in Mandalorian this season but will become more fleshed out in Ashoka series. Perhaps in Ashoka series it will involve how Thrawn and maybe Ezra escaped the outer rim and what happened in the past to catch everyone up to speed on Thrawn as a character. Especially since not all Mandoverse fans watched Rebels

[@Hanoua2]

Haven't read these book, but an evil Luke Skywalker clone, as silly as it sound, could be a really good ennemie for our jedi hero to face against like Ahsoka and actual Luke

I don’t wanna be that kind of fan that sees every little thing as some sort of foreshadowing to a character I’m excited to debut…..BUT that being said, having a small group of tie fighters distract Bo and Din, so a second group could bomb her house, then bring in a huge amount of reinforcements to overwhelm them at the end. That feels like a Thrawn tactic to me. 🤔

[@phaolo6]

​@@Lazarultos It just felt weird to me that she became *completely* alone, with no allies or defenses anywhere on the planet (not even in her castle) and only managed to survive thanks to a random passenger having a spaceship there (and a jetpack to reach it).

There's a theory that Pershing's story in this episode was originally gonna be featured in the now dead Rangers of the New Republic series, but after Gina Carano was fired they repurposed it for this Season. It's sorta like the theory that Mando had two episodes in The Book of Boba Fett because filming for Season 3 was delayed or something. I have no way to confirm that, but this episode did have a heavy focus on the New Republic and it wouldn't make sense for the creators to scrap all the ideas they had considering Disney is trying to build an interconnected story with these shows. I liked the episode, but I hope Pershing has an important role to play this Season to justify dedicating over 80% of an episode to him.

First the AT-ST was described as an ultimate killing machine despite them being nothing more than patrol vehicles that are easily taken out. Then in this episode they say that TIE interceptors were tougher than regular fighters. That's also incorrect.

The Empire stopped using clones and I am sure he (palpatine) didn't want that tech to be available because then any rebellion could quickly amass another huge army against him. Wouldn't surprise me if The New republic looked at some stuff and said well we can continue to enforce that. I for one would LOVE exploring all the possible political stuff. You maybe don't want to waste that on a 2 hour movie but a TV series. Hell yeah. A quality written star wars political drama in the vein of West Wing or something similar would be great.

[@mikeholt2912]

I don't mind the fact that you have been critical of the series episodes when you felt it was appropriate. I actually appreciate your critique. I think it's important...though I don't always agree with some of your conclusions, especially with episode 2 and 3. In the case of 2, I was emotionally motivated by the episode. I find it far superior to episode 1. That was just my reaction. As to 3, it was a quality episode, but I found myself bored by the length of the Pershing section. It was good, and informative, interesting to a point...but I felt it was a bit long. I would have preferred more Mando...but it was still fantastic. And that is where I think we agree. The series is a high quality series, especially compared to other things out there. That does not mean it's perfect, and I think that criticism is fair, even if I don't agree with all of your conclusions. As always I appreciate what you guys do. Thank you.

To me Star Wars has always been an adventure for all ages. I was 6 years old when New Hope came out in theatres in 1977. The original trilogy appeals to all ages because he never tries to be too smart/adult that kids don't get it, but it's not so kid oriented that adults can't love it too. I still view shows like Mandalorian like that. I don't want it to be too smart, because it should still appeal to little kids like it did to me when I was 6. Even at age 6 Star Wars never went over my head. So far, there hasn't been anything in Mandalorian that I can't turn my brain off and forgive because it's still kind of fun. Star Wars was never as smart as Star Trek, and I don't think it should ever be. Now the Obi-Wan show, and the Sequel trilogy, is another story, those were just stupid fucking writing from beginning to end. I can't forgive that crap.

So apparently the New Republic adopted the "Re-Neducation" program from the Simpsons. Like seriously all I could think of as I was listening to the guy talking about how he had gone through this treatment and found it relaxing was "It's not so bad Homer. They just go through your nose and let you keep the piece of brain they cut out." Like to me it was so over the top I couldn't take it seriously especially when I thought of that simpsons comparsion. Like no one there had a problem with what they were doing. Of course the part I laughed at the most was when the evil empire woman bit into one of those biscuits right at the end. Between that and the "that's using your head" moment from the first episode of the season The Mandalorian is getting pretty corny.

I'm confused because The Empire is still strong just fractured into multiple warring warlords vying for control so why does Bo Katan say "No Warlord could have this many" Yet the warlords still have decent sized fleets and that is only enough fighter/bomber for one Star Destroyer. Then later the rebel guy says "We are also busy decommissioning the Alliance fleet". The Imperial Remnants are still a threat why would they decommission the fleet? Its so confusing.

[@radubataran4835]

Because the Empire is dead, its not strong, any remnants of the actual empire are long gone into the unknown regions forming the First Order. Those warlords are more worried about holding down their little piece of territory, with the empires shitty leftovers.

[@carterholcomb1072]

The majority of the Imperial Remnant warlords only had as much as a light cruiser or two (Moff Gideon, for example). Very few actually had Star Destroyers, manpower, and resources necessary to field that many TIE Interceptors seen at once. The only Imperial Remnants that could do such a thing would be the Imperial Admirals (most notably Thrawn). The New Republic's decision on decomissioning the alliance fleet is part of their "new" system where there is no centralized military but rather smaller planet- and sector-based defense forces in a similar sense to the Old Republic before the Clone Wars (as seen in The Phantom Menace).

I disagree, I think it's quite clear what Disney wants to be doing. I also think it's quite clear that somewhere along the chain of command is someone that lied on their resume to get themselves into a position where they can dictate story and structure to some highly experienced industry veterans, despite never having seen a film or having any kind of industry training. Disney's plan is for a SWU to go with their MCU. Andor, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, are all directly connected with each other, as well as with Rebels and Clone Wars. Andor connects directly with Ahsoka via an event from Rebels we are almost certainly going to see on-screen: When Mon Mothma outed herself as a Rebel, she was pursued from Coruscant by Thrawn and rescued by most of the main cast of Ahsoka. It is not hard to see these, and probably some other shows, all coming together in an Endgame climactic showdown with Thrawn. Be honest, you want to see Sabine Wren, Bo Katan, Boba Fett, Din Djarin, fighting side-by-side with Mon Mothma, Fennec Shand, Chopper, and Hera, while Ezra, Ahsoka, and Grogu ride Space Whales into combat against Thrawn's loyalists, right?

I enjoyed this episode a lot despite the lack of action, but I also enjoyed the previous episode too. Maybe I'm part of the minority that likes "Shiny Keys" but also can enjoy story beats and character arch/development. On another note while I am one of the many many people who were very disappointed with the Sequel movies, I would be willing to see our extended Star Wars Media lead in or tie into the what we already know is inevitable and considered canon lore now. BUT and its a big but, I would like to see a focus shift on to the rest of the events occurring in the galaxy. Give us more to go off for the future timeline than just the events of The First Order, Rey and Kylo. Unless Disney comes out and publicly admits the Sequels aren't canon (which isn't likely) we cant change that. But what can be changed is everything that hasn't been written yet. The Lore around these events can be written to help these events work, to help them make sense. Its not the most ideal situation, but it will make things better overall if done properly.

[@gladkomrad2593]

I think it's best to just ignore most of the sequel trilogy. Obviously, there will be connections, but as long as writers stay out of telling stories in and around that part of the timeline they're probably Ok. Disney might not have the good sense to erase the sequels from canon, but with enough time they can be just as well forgotten and written around.

Like Book of Boba Fett, the best episode so far sidelines the titular character. Too early to tell if this is a backdoor pilot or setting up the rest of the season (I assume the latter but fear the former, as season 2 felt like it Backdoor Pilot the Series), but this episode had real tension to it. I do have to question the ending of the Coruscant section, though--how the hell have they made cloning illegal but not a mental torture machine, and knowing it's potential for harm, why aren't the controls disabled beyond a "safe" threshold, and why would she be allowed to be alone in the control room?

24:10 I have to disagree, I can certainly see why they would consider cloning unethical. An army of troopers were created with no rights who were not represented in the senate to fight a war they had no say in, are then mind probed to slaughter a faction within the republic without any kind of vote, which led to the fall of said Republic. And then the clones were thrown aside (yes by the empire, but judging from this episode if the republic somehow won the clone wars I think they would use this forced mind therapy thing the New Republic are doing). Although the fate of the clones is unknown at this point, judging from the Bad Batch it doesn't look good. I don't think many within the Star Wars universe would see the Clone Wars as a positive war in any way. So I can understand why so many hate the idea of cloning, but that's just my view though. (:

Bo Katan: I accidentally joined a cult send help

I kind of think she is lost and this whole plot may give her a new perspective on being a Mandalorian.

i was thinking exactly that and it was perfect.

This episode was awful, and the first two episodes were bad too. This show has gone downhill so fast.

"omg mando is stupid, he woulda died if he was alone" bro mando wouldve died in season 1 if Grogu wasnt there to save him from the mudhorn with his wizard skills.

The mind flayer works a lot like a similar device seen in Star Trek TOS, right down to the power dial and the two electrode things on either side of the head

Alex: "I don't want these shows linked, the space wizard parts of Star Wars are the worst." Big yikes. I'm glad Joe sort of checked him on this, it was an honest shit take. I'm with Joe. Let's get more of the lore, and get some Old Republic stuff too.

Never ever change your mind just because someone else told you so, that is a show of weakness bro.

I am open to see Dave trying to fix the sequel Trilogy. I know that the ST can't be salvaged, not all of it. But certain key parts, like explaining how Palpatine is back in a better way, I can accept. Also, they would have to do a cartoon series to replace the sequel Trilogy

We finally got an hour long episode, and they spent most of it on characters we don't give a damn about and a side plot that has no throughline to the main one we were actually here to see. Great.

My favorite part was the top of the highest mountain on Coruscant. Such a mind boggling idea. That's the kinda stuff I like. That city is DEEP!

The woman playing Elia Kane needs to be cast as Abby in TLOU Season 2

[@TempestDK]

While I kinda liked the episode because it had an actual story. There are some issues (for me). Corrusant seems much more cartoony than what is shown in Andor. So the contrast is a little jarring to me. Everyone Pershing interacts with seems to be an idiot. Especially the end scene with him in the mind flayer is horrible. Who on earth would leave him unsupervised while having his mind altered? Also who would leave the woman alone in the room with all the controls? - and how does she expect to get away with it? ... one would assume that they will know that the controls were adjusted. I hope we get more context to her plan. It makes very little sense to me.

[@watchmesquatch]

Story? The story was irrelevant as could be and never became relevant later...

[@Vicex09]

You talk about people not wanting story, but the issue here is they story was weak. Why are we supposed to care about some ex-imperial scientist that we haven't seen since ?Season 1 where he was in collusion with the main antagonist. They try to get us to care by 'Oh well I like to clone because my mother died, and maybe cloning could have helped her', there was nothing behind it. He is a flat character with no emotion, and nothing to him beyond a sign that says "I am a charcter that was written to REALLY enjoy cloning research', and then he is paired with a painfully obvious betrayal plot with former colleague that also is 2-dimensional. It's a shit story that could have been written by a 10 year old making a fan-fiction.

[@Vicex09]

@@darrel7589 What plot twist? The obviously evil person betrays someone? Elementary writing. Raise your standards. Andor was shit too.
