[@DeividManuRos]

I don’t mind this being a Din Djarin centric episode at all like some others do. I think the writers are trying to say with this episode that people shouldn’t see The Mandalorian and BoBF as two separate shows but as one big Mandalore saga.

The episode does not depict a Dyson Sphere, it depicts a ring version of an O'Neil Cylinder, famously featured on Larry Niven's Ringworld. Also, the native inhabitants of Malastare are the Dug (aka Sebulba from Episode 1). The species mentioned in 2:22 is called Gran. The Gran colonized Malastare at some point.

[@CrunkCmdrCottonz]

Not only this, but where he says it's open ended to let sunlight filter through, that is completely incorrect as the ring we see is based on Ringworld which has blinders around the star to simulate a day/night cycle. But the day/night cycle here seems to be 45seconds long for some ridiculous reason.

[@commontater24601]

Correct that it doesn't depict a Dyson Sphere, but it is one manifestation of his theory. It's one version of a Dyson Ring. Dyson's theory includes arrays, swarms, solid rings, arrayed spheres, full shell spheres, etc. The smaller constructs because he understood the scale of materials to construct a full spherical shell is basically impossible.

15:19 The scene where Peli was pulled by the womp rat is directly similar to the opening scene in Jurassic Park, where Jophery was pulled by the Velociraptor. As part of the franchise, Bryce Dallas Howard continues to put Jurassic Park references into the Star Wars episodes she directed.

17:38 When he was asking the droid to move the light I felt it was also a nod to Iron Man, which was the first MCU movie and directed by Jon Favreau.

[@Haveunerd]

Also the “weight “ of the sword deals with a long-standing issue of why do Jedi swing a saber like it’s heavy when lasers are weightless? Seems to suggest the weapons have a force of their own and not being one with it makes them heavier

[@EV21]

Re: the Darksaber training scene - It’s less a general count that she’s giving (1, 2, 3, 4) but rather she’s calling out the strikes or angles of attack she’s using, a la HEMA treatises, so that he knows how to parry certain attacks. Like, if I’m not mistaken, a #1 angle of attack is the sword blade going from upper right to lower left. Etc

[@ravenclawtom]

oh wow i remember those angle of attack numbers back when i was a kid in martial arts lol

The one detail I found interesting that before he disarms himself, he tells the droid that his weapons are part of his religion.

When Din thanks the BD droid, it's almost an exact replication of Cal Kestis doing the same thing with BD-1 in Fallen Order.

[@anidiot8900]

“I want to see the bebe” - Love the cuts in this one, Ryan, comedic gold.

[@DJMichelangelo1]

I'd love it if the "Mandalorian Armorer" ended up being Gar Saxon's old trusty majordomo ROOK KAST. If so, it would give me a really incredible payoff to know that both Ahsoka and Rook - enemies during the Clone Wars - BOTH had a hand in helping Mando on his current journey. [I could see her adoption of the "No Helmet Removal"-rule as part of her conversion to her new fanaticism.]

[@Juggtacula]

Yes, the younglings were using Training Sabers on the lowest power setting, which basically can block low power blaster bolts, and give you a lil zap, maybe a welt. It's like using wooden swords instead of real katanas in bushido or using foils instead of real rapiers in fencing.

[@kartridgekuro]

TIL lightsabers have power level settings

[@delmarfrazier2727]

Just say they have a piece of a Kyber crystal in them

[@Juggtacula]

@@kartridgekuro They do. And while training sabers are pretty weak, they can cause injury if turned up high enough. Since it's a blade of energy that can cut through anything, you don't want your kindergarten age jedi trainees accidentally chopping arms off when they spar.

[@chickrepelant]

6:56 yooooo, the Moulin Rouge needle drop?! *chefs kiss*

[@KevyNova]

Another “wizard” Easter egg is that even though Kitster is the only one who says it in Phantom Menace, the action figures that came out that year came with chips that allowed them to say lines from the movie. One of the things that the Anakin figure said was “Wizard!” which makes me think that Jake Lloyd was filmed saying it for a scene that ended up being deleted.

[@MatthewBMiller87]

holy shit thats awesome

[@jorgegavino7458]

"Non Stop Service to Tatooine " is a direct lift from the preshow from Star Tours.

[@briancost4844]

No, the scene where Mando says 'A little higher' is not a throwback to RotJ. It's him repeating what a father would say to a son/daughter when trying to repair something. All of us have the same experience and it's an awesome scene. Us gearheads learned to help our fathers out when repairing family cars to ALWAYS SHINE THE FLASHLIGHT ON THE WORK AREA.

[@kcnoel5270]

1:29 I don’t believe that this was mentioned in any of the shows, but in a book that talks about all kinds of fun details of the Jedi tells that the sabers that younglings start their training with use a crystal and saber that make it less dangerous. Meaning that if it touched skin it would be a mild burn, like you get from touching a hot pan. Might leave a scar but nothing serious. I got this from the book, don’t yell at me if you don’t like it.

[@Nokiri010]

You’re right. They’re called training lightsabers or Youngling Lightsabers.

[@alexwalker9803]

I think it is referenced in clone wars or rebels

[@cjsnowdon]

Anyone notice when she introduced the ship, she announced it may not look like much So Han Solo when he introduced the Millennium Falcon

[@NightHao]

Both are correct. The Millenium Falcon is like having an old truck that can go 0 to 60 in 2 seconds and the N-1 is akin to getting a WW2 Jeep and customizing it for drag. Both should be shit.

[@TheAdultInTheRoom74]

So, when the armorer says, “sadly, they only exist in legends.” when talking about the Mythosaur, were they settling a debate about whether or not they are canon?

[@nickradan9285]

Ironically, saying that on this show makes them canon I believe...

[@joshuadaluz5391]

17:31 i thought that part was a reference to Jon Favreau's Iron Man, during the scene where Stark welds the Mark II jet boots. The helpful dummy robot moves up too slow while Downey quips "Up. Am I in your way? Screw it. Don't move."

bryce Dallas Howard did an amazing job. and this was the most visually complex and stunning episode of either series. Now we have a father/daughter director combo in the star wars history

[@mrlonghurstseducationvideo2546]

Definitely the best episode of the series so far. I too felt weird at first watching it, but then remembered that both The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are a continuous story written by Jon Favreau. So it does work in the greater world of Star Wars and if watched as one series.

[@antonschembri8080]

Love how that astromech socket/slot has deffo been traded out in favour of a smaller cockpit for Grogu!! So excited to see them reunited

Exactly what I was thinking - that small canopy is meant for Grogu…

[@deepzone31]

My wife said the same thing. I was asking where he was going to put his bounty hauls. The Crest allowed him to go on multiple hunts and store his catches in carbonite as needed. It was a very practical ship. Now I am wondering where he's going to poo the more I think more about it.

[@antonschembri8080]

@@deepzone31 I think they're setting him up for bigger things than being just a bounty hunter. With the dark saber and a new quest to the mandalorian home world, I think he's to become the new Mandalore. Or at least part of the re-settlement/conquest of Mandalore with Bo-katan

[@brianrobinson4001]

I like that book of Boba Fett explains his character change. He got his armour back. Made good on his promise to rescue Grogu. Which pays off now Din Djarin is offering his services free of charge. Boba showing a Loyalty is valuable than credits.

[@tommywreay6791]

The Moulin Rouge reference with Obi-Wan and Satine was 💯

[@aarondesuacido1751]

I was really struck by Mando's transition from the razorcrest to a starfighter. If you think about it the starfighter is usually the ship showcased by the heroes of star wars and his transition into an N1 felt like he was beginning to take up the mantel of a hero in Star Wars. Maybe it also signifies Mandalorians taking up the mantel of the heroes that the Jedi used to fill in this new star wars EU.

[@psiwarriordoc6630]

Man. If only the Star Trek writers had consistency like this.

[@mookie714]

Anyone who, as a kid, has had to hold the flashlight for their dad as he worked on the family car will totally understand that moment where Djin was fussing with the droid about where to aim the light.

[@GordonHart5678]

There was also a nod to Richard Donner’s Superman when Mando catches up to the commercial cruiser and nods to the kid. Like Superman catching up to the train.

[@raynersaggers]

Anyone else get a "Cool Runnings" vibe with the N-1 controls and cockpit camera work?

[@broadsword6650]

"Wizard" was slang used in The British Royal Air Force in WW2, meaning "excellent". It was doubtless included in several war movies, and we know that war movies such as The Dambusters were big influences on A New Hope, especially the attack on the Death Star scene.

[@jaredsnodgrass6994]

It is also worth pointing out how many times Din's jet pack get shot which is a call back to both Boba and Jango who lost fights due to jet pack damage

[@AllNamesWasTakenlol]

Well, Mandos jet pack made of beskar. Jangos and Bobas are not.

[@whiterosebabie]

I'm so torn with this episode. I absolutely love Mando and was so excited he was joining Boba Fett. This was a great show overall. However, I really feel like this could have been the first episode of season 3 of the Mandalorian instead of hijacking Boba Fett's show.

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

Look at it this way: They had 7 episodes but only 6 episodes worth of narrative for Boba, they're so overflowing with Mandalorian ideas they threw in a teaser episode just to burn it off. I'd rather live in the reality where we get 6 episodes of BoB + 1 Mando teaser. It's an embarrassment of riches as far as I'm concerned.

[@QS-si3cq]

Regardless, this was the best BOBF episode yet, and that says everything about this series thus far.

[@RunRowRideLift]

By far the best episode so far of this series. I'm not bagging on BF but I'm just not rushing to watch these episodes.

[@kreika294]

The episode was awesome! They basically told us in the last one, Din was going to be in this one. So no surprises there, other than it was ALL about him. No complaints here about that! Being that I’ve been a fan of Star Wars since the age 7 when a New Hope came out. I’ve never been let down by any of the materials. I always take it as it is, science fiction and fantasy.

[@Kelko-Zamba]

Saying "Dyson's sphere" instead of halo was a good engagement trick. I like it! Picasso!

[@NourishedPsyche]

Mando boarding the commercial flight is reminiscent to Boba Fett boarding a luxury cruise liner in the Han Solo book series by AC Crispen. It’s funny how Mando said that his weaponry was religious and proceeded to place his items into a large case. In the third book, Boba is in disguise as a religious refugee and is completely covered by robes and a breathing mask. His mission is to capture Rebel agent Bria Tharen. Boba’s Mandalorian armor and other weaponry is concealed in a large luggage case, which hid the items from security checks.

[@franskamstra2728]

in the EU books it was indeed told that there were training sabers with very low power. that only caused some burns bot no further harm

[@Rabid_Wookie]

The BD droid holding the flashlight and Mando trying to get him to aim it where he needed it reminded me of Tony Stark trying to get one of his robots to hold the magnifying glass where Tony needed in Iron Man 1

[@seanwilliams4087]

The structure of the giant loop habitat was not fully illustrated in the show. It was clearly a reference to the Ringworld, from the sci-fi writings of Larry Niven, which is a giant closed loop completely around a star with the night and day sequence provided by "shadow squares" which are a smaller set of linked flat rectangular constructs orbiting between the sun and the inhabited ring. As the scale of the construct on the show was relatively tiny compared to Niven's Ringworld, we can conjecture that at its centre is a small artificial source of light/heat rather than an actual star.

[@Dolphinpants]

[@allo0102]

15:27 Made me think about the opening scene of Jurassic Park with the raptor in the cage. Could be an actual easter egg as this episode has been directed by Bryce Dallas Howard who acts in the Jurassoc World saga. In the episode she directed in Season 1 of The Mandalorian, she made an AT-ST act as a T-Rex also.

[@benjier]

17:34 The shot of the parts of the N-1 all over the place feels like a metaphor for the Skywalker Saga being kind of a mess; and how Filoni and Favreau are creating connective points between the films by using tv shows (Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch, tBoBF, Ahsoka, RotNR) to put it all together and have it make a lot more sense.

Best stand alone episode I have ever seen in the SW universe. Tied perfectly together like the cloth used for Grogus armor. There is still some questions if Dar Jin is possibly a Jedi that doesn't know it because he is trying too hard to be something he is not (a major theme here in Bobba as well) Anakin parallel with the building and flying like episode I. It's a long shot but not fully outside the realm of possibility since we don't really know his childhood aside from being rescued by mandalorians.

I honestly feel there is a purpose for this crossover episode. Between Kenobi, Ashoka, book of boba Fett and the Mandalorian, I think Star Wars is trying to create an “arrow-verse” with multiple crossover episodes. This episode introduces that concept and shows that even though each character is getting their own shows, we should expect that they are able to work as a team. Grand Admiral Thrawn is going to be a huge deal and Ashoka will not be able to take on that threat alone. Boba Fett’s criminal underworld and Mando leading other Mandalorian’s will allow them to take revenge on Thrawn for the night of 1000 tears. I know that isn’t official yet, but it lines up well and I have a feeling it will be mentioned at some point.

1:44 NO No No!!! This entire sequence is referencing the ground breaking Sci-Fi books RINGWORLD which drew inspiration from Dyson's sphere. In Ringworld the ring surrounds the star. So day and night are mimicked using floating plates that orbit the inside of the ring. These books created such a sensation that after the first one, physics students did calculations on the stability of the ring, and the insane resources needed to build it. Cussing Dyson to reach out to the author, blowing his mind. In the second books forward, the author talks about it. It's a great series, and I thought it clever the way this episode made such a clear nod to Ringworld to the point of designing a day gap in the structure of the ring.

I can't be the only one who thinks he saw the Millennium Falcon docked on the ring station when Mando left on the transport. You can see it clearly right before it fades into shadow.

When the N1 starfighter was covered with the tarp, I thought it was general grevious' Soulless One

I don’t think I remember Padme’s ships ever getting destroyed on Tatooine or any Jawas stealing parts

I'm glad to see the catch up on mando

This was such a good, and important, episode of the Mandalorian. Which was a strange choice, but ok. Also, a ringworld is a completely different stellar megastructure concept than a Dyson sphere, which completely surrounds a star to absorb its energy. ("Nerd!!" etc.)

The lightsabers in attack of the clones that the younglings are wielding are training sabers, they're really low power.

That beskar is a ball for Grogu.

You know, so far Favreau and Filoni have shown they can do Star Wars. The right way. I trust they know what they're doing with this series, and why it exists between S2 and S3 of The Mandalorian. Din and what we've seen in this episode, might be integral to Boba Fett and his story. That Boba's and Din's story intersect isn't a surprise, it did in Season 2. Here's what I think. Grogu comes back with Din, and are instrumental in helping Fett. Fett (and other Mandalorians?) join the Mudhorn Clan. (That was the clan the Armorer declared Din and Grogu to be, a clan of two. The Armorer also tells Din that Grogu was a foundling in his care, so I do consider Grogu a Mandalorian.) Through this, Fett gets his tribe. This is what he desires most of all. And *that's* why this episode exists... (And in a week, I'll probably be proven wrong, lol.)
