The lesson is multi-level defenses, Lock down the landing bay, vent the atmo so luke has to walk into hard vaccuum, pull back your storm troopers to command, arm them with granades and RPGs, proximity mines in the hallways to turn intruders into paste, turn up the artificial gravity in the halls to 100 G, so they can't even get up off the floor as their internal organs ooze out their body openings, and last resort, complete ship self destruct, can't allow it to fall into enemy hands...

Favreau has exactly the right mix of practical and special effects as well. He uses both masterfully to really immerse you in this fictional world. But even then, he also doesn't forget to make the story character driven.

@Rafi Rizqullah - I love both The Clone Wars and Rebels. Rebels for all the Jedi temple and Force being stuff and Clone Wars for Anakin, Rex, Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-wan, R2. I'm so attached to all those characters. That last Siege of Mandalore arc where the clones turn on Ahsoka is brutal. Such a dark ending. Rebels has a much happier ending. But my favorite episode out of all of them is the World Between Worlds episode. That place is SO COOL. That Lothal Jedi Temple is amazing. My favorite story arc in TCW was actually the Mortis Arc so it makes sense that I would love the last few episodes of Rebel. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

[@umiluv]

@@s1d3k1ckRO - After watching Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith is so BRUTAL. I made the mistake of watching it while I was pregnant and when Anakin force chokes Padme, I fucking lost it. It's so painful to watch. Every time I see Darth Vader I cry because I think of Anakin. I highly recommend the second Thrawn trilogy books where Timothy Zahm rewrites Thrawn's story due to his inclusion in Rebels. The interaction between Vader and Thrawn goes into a lot of how Vader thinks of Anakin and REALLY insightful. Timothy Zahn is a master at storytelling.

They had to keep it a secret from their own "colleagues" at Lucasfilm because Kathleen Kennedy's people didn't want Luke coming back. Imagine that.

Filoni only has the same writing credits on this show as Rick Famuyiwa, ie two episodes. Filoni's season 1 episode was by far the lowest rated of the season. His season 2 episode was purely to shoehorn in Ahsoka to set up her spin off series (it resulted in her looking indifferent to Grogu's plight as well). Lucasfilm wanted Grogu to be Ahsoka's padawan, for her series. But Favreau refused, saying it would effectively destroy the relationship between Djarin & Grogu (the heart of this show). Basically, Faverau is the mastermind behind this series. Read his Jan 2021 interview with the Writer's Guild of America, where he mentions repeatedly that he wrote this show alone. Filoni was invited on board for his SW knowledge, not his writing, which isn't all that.

Not to insult any other characters that it could have been instead of Luke, there is no way that this moment could ever have been as special, if it had been another Jedi. Well perhaps Mace Windu showing up and not being dead, would have gotten a very good reaction but then some of the fandom might immediately start thinking 'Where the hell were you during Episodes 4 to 6?' and that distracts from the impact of scene.

@Grand Admiral Thrawn "this proves the fandom isn't toxic" dang did that age poorly. It only took 11 days. They made a simple point, this comment section is toxic because it can't help but use it to drag other things down. You haven't disproved that. Don't talk about George Lucas' legacy like you know him. George Lucas does not care how the sequels turned out, he been nothing but supportive of them. Sequel movies were in my opinion, dog shit. However, there are much more fans of the OT and prequels mocking the sequels than sequel fans mocking the prequels. Even if it did, it still wouldn't matter, two wrongs don't make a right. It is funny, however, that people are acting like the sequels were the first time the movies were done bad They aren't asking for old fans to "become happy against their will", don't put words in their mouth. They are pointing out that a lot of people are using this to deride the sequels which isn't necessary.

[@samphillips8188]

@Grand Admiral Thrawn You are saying we don't have to be toxic after writing like 10 paragraphs saying why you hate it, ON A MANDOLORIAN VIDEO. It's not related and a bunch of commenters aren't getting why it's toxic to bring it up all the god dang time. The only thing we have on George Lucas opinion about the sequels is a memoir written by another person, hardly concrete evidence. Those commenters are not toxic for disliking them, they are toxic for bringing it up all the time on unrelated things If you agree with the OP, that Fillioni should be given control then you might want to know that he praises the sequels on numerous occasions, unprompted. The person you are arguing with is merely stating that the comments show that the fanbase is still toxic because it can't find a way to compliment with bringing something else down.

Anyone who wasn't there in '77 can just never appreciate "Star Wars, a New Hope" the way those of us who were there can. You had pre-cable TV, maybe got 7-8 stations, or you went to the movies. No VHS, DVD, HBO, Netflix, etc. And nobody, but NOBODY had ever made a film like Star Wars before. The size. The scale. The imagination of it. I remember sitting in the theater (fortunately, one with an enormous screen). The lights dim, the music starts, and against a glorious space backdrop, "STAR WARS" explodes onto the screen; the intro crawls away, and we pan down to see a beautiful planet below us. Suddenly, from just behind us, laser bolts, followed by a spaceship, fly over our heads, toward the planet. And then, the theater rumbles, and the nose of a huuuuuge spaceship flys in so low, we all gasp and duck. And there is just ... more, and ... more, and ... more, like it will never stop, even as the two ships are trading laser-fire. And in that moment, we all realize that for the next two hours, this is going to be pure, cinematic, magic. ... And it was. .

My dad’s 66 and the only time I’ve seen him cry in my entire life was when we watched this episode together.

He was instantly hooked, but he had no idea when this series took place within the Star Wars timeline. He simply assumed all this happened after the movies. So when he saw a young Luke Skywalker, the hero of his own youth, but now as an all-powerful Jedi… my father has always been a very stoic man, but this time there was no way he could contain his happiness. 😊

Because we from the original generation knew what we experienced. We knew what it meant for our imaginations. It let us fly high in our minds. We had no shame about our feelings for it.

[@TViper2369]

Well loved TFA, severely disliked TLJ, and enjoyed TROS. That said, have thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian although it's not without it's growing pains. The appeal of SWs to me is the fantasy side of it, and with that the most interesting aspect of the SWs universe to me is The Force. This is the reason for my feelings on the movies and show. For TFA I thought it did a great job of using a familiar story and characters to setup a new story about what the force is. Why did it awaken? What does that mean? Why are some more adept at it (Rey)? Why are others force aware (Maz and Chirrut in Roque One)? Why was Luke so powerful with it? Just how powerful was Luke with it? All of those questions had great appeal and could have been answered with a proper follow up to TFA and diverge drastically from the OT. Instead, we got Rain Johnson's TLJ which destroyed maybe the most beloved SWs character ever (seeing the reaction to this final episode reaffirms that). Rather than growing Luke's character based on his experiences, it was used to make us not like him so that he is forgotten. I personally think this is what Abrams had in mind with the first one, and tried to correct all of this in TROS. The plotholes in that movie should have been filled by the story told in TLJ. And it could have even been the same tone. Luke coming to realize he had gotten in over his head. The Jedi's hubris. Maybe realizing they were wrong, and that one can't really shut out the dark or light side of the force, that bringing balance to the force really means learning to embrace both sides, all setup by the literal title of TFA. We still don't know that actually means. All of that, to say that The Mandalorian is getting back to that. The mystery of the Jedi, their powers, what does it all mean and how does it work. And to tell that story we have some great characters moving along in their journey as these answers unravel. Me personally, I'd love to see Grogu turn out to be The Chosen One. The species long lifespan could well be used as a character point that it takes a long time to master walking the thin line between light and dark. We saw how powerful Yoda was, and he is the only Jedi where it could be believable that he could wield the darkside and not fall to temptation. By the time Ben turned on Luke (or Luke turned on Ben if you want to see it that way), Grogu had grown aware enough that he didn't think suppressing the dark-side was the right path and left Luke's school. The movies going forward with Grogu explaining this and getting a force ghost Luke, Yoda, and Obi-wan to understand that and have them then further assist in his training I think would make for a great story.

Same here on every level. It's isn't that hard to appeal to all levels of fans. I'm just glad I now know more people cried too.

X-Wing and Luke scene happen "I felt a great disturbance in the Force! As if millions of nerds suddenly cried out in relief and were suddenly silenced! Something wonderful has happened!"

[@madelinegarber7860]

This episode will never, and I mean never, get old. Whatever happened after, those last 10 minutes or so were absolutely magical. I hope we see more helmetless Din in Mandalorian and Grogu. This was peak!

[@t-swagggaming]

I just realized this: When Din takes his helmet off, it TOTALLY reflects the end of ROTJ when Anakin looked upon Luke without his helmet. When Luke sees that, he’s definitely being reminded of that moment.

[@TimeCircleBlue]

“Let me look upon you with my own eyes” That got me too.

[@TheChaoticToaster]

Well shit. Now I’m gonna cry over this again.

[@cdanielh128]

Thank you for this. I did not see this originally!

[@tomdalsin5175]

J. Favreau has proven himself to be the ultimate creator behind the camera for nerdy content. Iron Man, The Mandalorian... he takes the geek culture of my childhood and transforms it into cinematic magic. Nobody has captured the look and feel, the drama and the cool factor so perfectly.

[@celruwethin2712]

Time to watch one of his timeless classics....Elf🙂

[@Zionswasd]

(Edit, he is the writer that's what we call a double pog moment) I think it's because he actually understands storytelling, cares about the fictional worlds, and gives the power to the directors/most passionate writers, instead of trying to force them all to hit certain beats for no reason like a lot of producers/directors/investors do.

[@thebearanimation]

@@Zionswasd to preface, Dave Filoni is a producer, director, and writer on the show as well - but Jon Favreau wrote this entire series minus a few other episodes that he let others write. Mando has been his show since day 1. Just trying to help with the info.

[@setaside2]

Time to hand over the Transformers to Favreau. Someone who might actually care.

[@gamblertoguru382]

He ruined the Lion King,but that was something that should have never been attempted. So he is forgiven lol

[@plumbussmith]

If the sequels gave us a quarter of this, the franchise would be thriving.

[@PrinceTrexus]

The part that gets me everytime in this episode is when Grogu is hesitating to go with Luke. *Luke* - "Come, little one." *Grogu hesitates, looks at Mando* *Mando* - "He doesn't want to go with you." *Luke* - "He wants _your permission_ ."

[@CrayCruz]

Luke read the room correctly, like the Master Jedi he is. Thank you, Favreau and Filoni.

[@PrinceTrexus]

@@CrayCruz he also can telepathically communicate with Grogu the same way Ahsoka did

[@CrayCruz]

@@PrinceTrexus Of course, he's THE Jedi...thank you for that.

[@luisfer987s]

in some way, both of them(mando and luke) are right,,,, grogu dont want to go,, but he knows he must go,,, after all he ask for the permission, maybe so mando can say no,,, grogu recognizes mando as his father...

Imagine having fans screaming in excitement just for seeing your characters face again. George Lucas must be so damn proud!

[@Biomirth]

I hope he is not proud but insane and ashamed. He basically tried to ruin his own best work at every opportunity for 30 years. It is only luck that saved it.

[@DropkickNation]

@BlindingHornet They were that bad, kid. Just because the sequels were worse doesn't make them good.

[@Biomirth]

@BlindingHornet Yes they were. What an argument.

[@MrUnkillableGaming]

@@Biomirth You think the Prequels are bad because you don't understand them.

[@lazulicdm]

@@DropkickNation they aren't definitively bad, they're interpretive. The storyline is something the saga wasn't used to but it did the absolute best it could to be received by fans, especially in a fanbase where about 60% of the fans are pessimists and approach every film with criticism. There's no way to make a perfect addition because fans will always criticize. Even here and after the episode people were complaining about the CGI in a single take

You don't have to be a nerd to like Star Wars. Everyone forgets that the original went super viral. They even used a quote in a session of Congress. EVERYONE loved the originals. It says a lot how the later movies didn't stand up with the same kind of interest despite having the ability to go anyway they wanted.
