[@schmidtfam04]

I’m new to your Channel. But may not stay for long… Please, PLEASE stop talking over the dialogue!! You are missing things!! (You guys talking over “Baby Girl”, especially! )

[@UserName-vb4lg]

@heroes reforged I’m disabled. I can’t afford patreons. I’m sorry. I wish I could.

[@jeanpaulmedellin]

Kelleran Beq was the Jedi master in charge of helping younglings in the temple, so it makes sense that he was the one saving Grogu. The sad part was when the Naboo Guard asked if there were others... they were going to save all the younglings. So happy for Ahmed!

[@mikelv1]

Which means that he probably saw Anakin heading to or heading from where the younglings were hiding

[@Megaproductions302]

We just got the biggest justice story with Ahmed Best showing up in this. So glad he was the one chosen to save Grogu rather than some “thought to be dead” character. He deserved this role after all he went through.

[@extracheddar]

I wouldn't even say its a redemption story for Ahmed Best, its justice for him and recognition for all his work and turmoil he's gone through. If its a redemption for anyone, its hopefully a redemption for the fandom and how they treat people. He really deserved this role and it definitely is a momentously powerful moment that got my eyes watery.

[@Megaproductions302]

@@extracheddar fair point! 😁

[@agresticumbra]

@@Megaproductions302 redemption is for those who harassed Ahmed (and George,) which I doubt will ever happen. I doubt the majority of them think they did anything wrong.

[@Tom-bn6pr]

Everybody stop saying redemption, it implies he did something wrong. He hasn’t overcome a drug addiction 😳

[@CaptainPikeachu]

I think it’s less redemption and more vindication.

[@robertjames8220]

I believe the Armorer's reaction to Bo's telling of the Mythosaur isn't because the Armorer didn't get it. I think she *knew* that the Mythosaur was there. The Armorer's role in their society is shamanic as well as technological. It wouldn't surprise me if she is carrying verbal histories passed through the lineages, and is very aware of the Mythosaur's existence, as well as its meaning.

[@Wico90YT]

She's also sending people to Lake Minnetonka to die. If they come back they're strong and worthy.

[@charleskeresoma7406]

I also thought this with the way she was answering Bo when she told her about the Mythosaur. Very interesting indeed.

[@samcarter565]

Absolutely. She’s not being dismissive of Bo. She’s basically saying ‘Yeah, of course you saw one. You’re walking the correct path now.’

[@localcrytidnura006]

Well she just play the part of shaman but I feel like it's telling a priest you say Jesus Ah like yes Jesus appears to us all but no I actually say him walk down my sidewalk Yes yes of course If that makes sense

[@jimmytuplano3843]

But we never know who the armorer is but i have to believe it will be sabine because we have ashoka tano plus admiral trall is alive so those erza but i be shock if mando got train by none other sabine or erza i be happy dying

[@theawesomeman9821]

I feel bad for Grogu this episode: He got teased, shot with paintballs, and went through a PTSD.

[@Andy666TheBeast]

lol what about ragnar though? lol first he gets his ass handed to him by some green lump in a sack and then gets abducted and swallowed by some flying monster

[@duck-ew5zs]

Then another kid got swooped, eaten, and regurgitated by a dragon. Can't catch a break when you're a young Mandalorian lmao

[@wahn10]

@@Andy666TheBeast I know. That's rough.

[@MrMcbear]

As the armorer explains, the forge reveals weakness.

[@chanahasnomana]

@@MrMcbear nice catch. He is reminiscing about his past, only future episodes will show if he moves on completely. It's like most Force sensitive characters in star wars, they face their pasts and decide where to go from there.

[@brandontaylor3252]

The Empire: "We've got infant sized manacles." Mandalorians: "We've got infant sized missile launchers."

[@misteryman526]

Even though Ragnar was pretty arrogant when facing Grogu, he was at least honorable enough to choose a weapon that Grogu could actually use instead of a quarterstaff or something.

[@cassieo]

I was also impressed that he chose an appropriate sparring weapon.

[@syndicaterx]

And that he didn’t fire 3 shots in quick succession

[@ketchup016]

It's like when grown-ups make you play with a little kid, of course you go easy on them. But the Mando lesson is probably to not underestimate your opponent.

[@lastudentessa]

I'm so glad you guys loved the Kelleren reveal!!! 🥰

[@legendswarble2845]

I feel like the Armorer is such a grandma. She's like, "Here you go baby. I made you a sweater. It shoots lazers😊"

[@RebelOne610]

Respect to those Naboo Guardsmen. They pretty much KNEW they were done for, but they gave it all just to help Kelleran and Grogu escape. Also, who sent them..? Best theory I've heard? They were sent by Senator Binks.

[@UserName-vb4lg]

I love they couldn’t leave the babies to die. That was beautiful.

[@akaraniq]

Their going to ride them

[@RockFan89]

very cool that Carl Weathers directed it. Interesting. "Kelleran Beq nicknamed "The Sabered Hand," was a human male Jedi Master who served in the Jedi Order. He was often assisted by the protocol droid AD-3 and the astromech droid LX-R5, and served aboard the starship Athylia. During the Siege of the Jedi Temple, Beq successfully escaped the temple with the aid of sympathetic Royal Naboo Security Forces members, fleeing Coruscant "

[@tay-dor7147]

Kelleran was the character he played on a star wars kids game show called Star Wars Jedi Temple Challenge (2020).

[@Ithekro]

I get the feeling that the Naboo craft was assigned to Representative Jar Jar Binks.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

​@Tay-Dor 😂 you're right, but so is the commenter. Funny thing is they literally just copy/pasted that information from Wikifandom, I didn't know who it was canon wise just thought they were giving Ahmed some deserved justice which was cool but I had to search for more information, and read word for word what this person laid out on the website.

[@Yakkahboo]

@@Ithekro Its possible but my understanding is that chrome plated ships are specifically for royalty, aside from the one gifted to padme from her successor for her service to naboo. Of course being Jar-Jar would be absolutely epic, and it is possible he has one as a representative for the Queen.

[@robdilauro4344]

This has been the year of the comeback, way to go, Ahmed!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@thedarkknight2221]

So the fan theory that Jar Jar saved Grogu was actually true (from a certain point of view) getting Ahmed Best as Jedi Master Kelleran Beq saving Grogu was awesome! And seeing Grogu doing literally ANYTHING from training to walking is so cute that my heart almost bursts. Also the whole rescue of Ragnar Visla looked and felt like it was right out of the movies. And after seeing the Armorer forge armor for both Grogu and Bo-Katan I have a sudden urge to forge my own set of Mandalorian armor. Carl Weathers made one of the best episodes of the series with The Foundling. I just wish that this episode was longer, these episodes are becoming far to short.

[@CaptainJ62]

I really hope Ahmed sees a lot of these reactions like Bryce Dallas Howard did for the episode of BoBF she directed, he deserves to see this well-earned outpouring of love.

[@alexanderthealright]

Auntie Armorer gave our boy some new bling! Also, Mando and Vizsla gradually becoming dad buddies is something I am HERE for.

[@ketchup016]

I kind of like them as petty frenemies! It's like the family member you don't get along with but you still have their back when shit happens.

[@foxyazure4272]

"This is The Way" has taken on so much more meaning in the past 2 episodes. When Din says it to Bo when she speaks about her father dying defending Mandalore he's saying "Your father was a great warrior." When Din says it to Paz after saving his son he's saying "We are all family." and when the Armorer says it to Bo about her seeing the Mythosaur she's saying "You were meant to see it." Bo is truly learning that becoming the Mandalore is deeper than just sitting on the throne. There is a reason she wielded the Darksaber with such ease!!!

[@roninunchained]

You see how Din, Bo, Paz and the Armorer dynamics are shifting, which can lead to them uniting and evolving the Watch. I was giddy the whole time. To see where Katee has taken her character is so fascinating and it enriches my viewings of TCW, Rebels & Mando S2 even more now. Watching Kelleran was so wonderful and I'm just happy for him, to be in Star Wars, in this fashion now. Carl Weathers delivered again! and yes, I would like it to be more than 30 min. (technically 26 min.)

[@cs1422b]

Kelleren takes Grogu to Naboo, changes into Jar Jar, and takes him to the underwater city.

[@thecorncrew5981]

I think the Armorer knows about the Mythosaur. She has to get her living waters from somewhere.

[@cassieo]

Agree. Armorer is very much going to come to a reckoning with the rest of the Watch when they find out the secrets she has been keeping. I think she will end up as a sacrificial offering to the effort of making a New Mandalore. She won’t be able to tolerate a new Way of living.

[@PsychoSpiral]

Man, Grogu was a youngling in the Jedi order and that was decimated by Order 66. Now, he's a foundling in what's left of a Mandalorian collective and probably fears it might happen again.

[@samfisher6606]

I love that Bo has kind of become Grogu's mom. Or aunt. I googled what a rondel is. Its a piece of circular armor used for extra protection. It was typically located in the armpit a common armor weak point. I honestly thought Bo was going to get in trouble for losing a piece of her armor. I hope the person they were taking Grogu to was like Sabé. Imagine if we got a Keira Knightley cameo. I honestly think the Armorer is my favorite all time Star Wars character. A smith priestess, that's just awesome!!!

[@JJG-om9fw]

Padme was played by Natalie Portman.. Keira played the decoy version of Padme .

[@evenmoor]

If this were D&D 5e, the Armorer would be a Forge-domain cleric! (Din is a hunter-subclass ranger.)😉 Seriously, though, she is the spiritual center of the Tribe, so she is, essentially, their priest.

[@bones1631]

Nah you guys didn't get it at the end, the armorer has seen it herself too, she nodded and then said "this is the way" not to mention she has been to the waters herself as she has the water in the cauldron

[@thesharpercoder]

Interesting how The Armorer referred to Vizla’s son as a foundling. This suggests that the young boy adopted into the Covert in much the same way Jedi adopt young candidates. The episode had symmetry, too. Bo-Katan saved a Mandalorian foundling, and Kelleran Beq saved a Jedi foundling. They did not escape in Padme’s ship because she used hers to travel to Mustafar. I suspect that they escaped in Senator Jar-Jar Binks’ official shuttle.

[@OCP74]

So awesome what the Mandalorian team did for Ahmed.

[@ZappaBlues]

At least the Armourer knows NOT to treat Grogu like a 'baby'

[@simac8396]

Crazy theory: The senitor for Naboo during order 66 was Jar Jar, what if Jar Jar used his government resources to hide grogu?

[@coreytom6125]

I love how very entertaining you guys make these reaction videos. Love your channel and keep up with great work.

[@HeroesReforged]

Thank you so much 😁

[@bigboycombo6342]

It would be funny if Grogu was looked after by the Gungans specifically Jar Jar.

[@dlancer2k]

For those who are wondering why the new episode hasn't come out: They recorded it, but it didn't capture the audio. For these reactions, they only have one shot to capture the genuine reaction.

[@CurseTheCosmos]

There’s so much great stuff to talk about in regards to this episode. Many commenters here have covered them already. But I just need to say, Ragnar Vizla is the DOPEST Star Wars name I’ve heard in a while. 😆👏🏽

[@MultiBlablabla2000]

Grogu has a flashback to his first father figure mentor, perhaps Din and kelleran meet later and fight for custody.

[@dennisueland8146]

When you’re starting to realize the title character of this show is actually Grogu, not Din

[@dank.6942]

Or Bo Katan?

[@LocksAndChains]

My theory is that it was Jar Jar's personal ship. As a senatorial rep on Coruscant, he likely had his own transport and guards. This would also tie into the rejected plot line of him rescuing younglings from the temple. In this scenario, he still saved one, in more ways than one.

[@genXkeg420]

He could've taken Grogu anywhere. Someone had a plan setup because the guards asked where the others were, & I hope it was Padme. It sounds like they had a destination pre-determined, can't wait for next week & sooo happy for Ahmed. #BePeace

[@braddollahite]

love this episode like last week. It is freaking AWESOME AF that Ahmed Best is back. Freaking had tears when Kelleran Beq showed up and total badass with the sabers. And as for toxic idiots, i think its hilarious when they say oh why do you like this crap for, i think of it like this, if you dont like it, then there is the front door. Get yo ass out of our fun time and enjoyment. Cant wait till next week.

[@JRGKpersonal]

I bet it's their pride as a warrior tribe that makes them stay their since the original mandalorians could cultavate mandalore these should be able to handle this planet.

[@oliwierbroda2575]

I think they might move to Navarro.

[@VadersRage]

"The armorer just loves making clothes." Oh jeez......I spit Pepsi out my nose.

[@scarlettsugar8159]

Yay!! Been waiting all day for y'alls vid. Seeing Ahmed Best made me so happy. Especially after seeing Hector...I mean Pershing...getting his mind flayed last week totally bummed me out.

[@Yuurei21]

Glad to see Ahmed Best finally get some justice. This season has been great and I can't get enough of it. Tear up my man card, I was teary eyed when Grogu finally got his sigil. If Grogu's first words are "this is the way" I am going to lose it. LOL

[@Armadaonion]

Ahmed Best deserved this so much. The fandom twenty years ago was so cruel to him, he deserves his bad ass Jedi moment.

[@iceman10129]

Someone want to call up the boys and tell them that episode 5 came out.

[@daltonmeadesmith]

This season is absolutely brilliant! Last week's episode was phenomenal, and episode four is a blast. Grogu is way too cute!

Jedi Master Kelleran Beq took grogu to jar jar binks and is hiding with the gungans underwater

[@blummie3564]

The search party climbing up the mountain to get to the nest reminded me of Nacho climbing to get his eagle powers lmao

[@betzy7560]

Like augustin i didn’t know who Ahmed was but after reading about his story portraying as jar jar, the backlash and then the Jedi temple challenge it’s so honorable

[@milanbanas101]

The ship belonged to a Naboo senator. At that time it was Jar Jar Binks. So it is quite possible that Kelleran hid Grogu with Jar Jar on Naboo :)

[@MarcusMapua]

A Rondel is a round protection piece of armor that is attached to an armor's helmet, breastplate, couter-elbow, and/or gauntlet; and in this case would be the chestplate for Grogu's beskar armor

[@beautybynessy6675]

An early upload?! Yes please & Thank you!! What an episode, Carl Weathers directing it are you kidding me wow! The flashback of Grogu was wow and the fact that Ahmed Best saving him & being a Jedi?! What-a redemption from all the slack from freaking Jar Jar Binks, right?! Do you guys think that the reason probably why Grogu at times can be a bit timid is from trauma from order 66 because he was very little age wise when this happened some PTSD? Also did anyone notice the crabs that were close to Grogu, mind you he didn’t use the force, (I don’t think he did) but because the force is within him, I think life around him can feel and sense the force because if you notice when Goku left, the crabs went back to where they came! I believe Grogu Jedi powers are way powerful that even he doesn’t realize yet. Again great episode!!

[@chiph9184]

💯 and I LOVE your theories about baby yoda connecting with other living creatures 💚

[@briankatz3955]

Kelleran Beq escaped using a Naboo Senate Starship. The two Senators from Naboo were Padme and Jar Jar... We know what Padme was doing during order 66... Did Jar Jar work with Kelleran to save the child???

[@TheFiddleFaddle]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought the Mandos training looked dorky 😂

Yet another fantastic chapter. I am seriously loving this season.

[@JohnnyZ716]

This whole episode I watched it going, I wonder if Bo Katan think's she's surrounded by idiots.

[@pduidesign]

Available this holiday season at Target 🤣🤣🤣👍👍so true!!

[@photokunstler]

It’s dope to see how Grogu is becoming the new season of Mandalorians, and just happen to have force powers… and is a little one. He’s such a powerful little nugget. I love this episode. You can really see into the Mando everyday lives and theyre passion for LARPing. LOL but also the religious part of it.

[@frogeater8659]

Welcome back to Star Wars, Ahmed Best.

[@marcelczarnowske4123]

It would not be logical to hide Grogu on Naboo after escaping an a apparently Naboo Starship. It is like leaving a pointer where to look for him.

[@judyhuurman1237]

Agustin, thank you for your comment about people who complain about Star Wars. I enjoy watching the reactions but get annoyed (to put it mildly) with those who complain about every little thing (the CGI sucks, why are they on this planet, why didn't so and so do this or that). As if they could do better. I saw a New Hope when it came out in 77 (I was 27 at the time), and although I never got into the comics, I've enjoyed everything Star Wars brings to my world (maybe with the exception of JarJar, who really annoyed me at the beginning). People, just sit back and enjoy the magical world your saw then and now.

[@badandymk3]

"Ok, who is THAT badass Jedi?"

[@ETNMom]

[@Timegambitgg]

When Jar Jar actually saves grogu!

[@EzeAfc]

What if grogu was hidden with the gungans in their underwater city for some time?

[@asbarra]

Awesome episode! Love your reactions! Ahmed Best showing up to save Grogu was awesome. Maybe they travel to Naboo to seek shelter with Jar Jar Binks only to find out the theories are true and Jar Jar is a sigh Lord. The Best can truly put Jar Jar behind him by killing him off as Kelleran Beq. Knowing that Naboo isn’t safe and that Jar Jar most likely tipped off Palpatine and Vadar, Kelleran hides Grogu through the path and eventually with the empire on their heels, Grogu eventually is hidden in the warehouse where we find him in season 1

[@Jigsaw0g]

I personally think this was a way better option than bringing back someone from the dead (dont get me wrong, windu would've been cool) but it would've made the whole word seem kinda goofy. As if EVERYONE has a chance to come back from the dead. And it wasnt another jedi we kinda already know/have some form a relationship with. I'm sure 90% of people , star wars fans included, didn't watch the Jedi challenges show. But I think it'll bring more traction to it now. This was amazing. Ahmed Best DESERVES this love. He has from the start.

I like the fan theory that Jar Jar Binks sent Kelleran Beq to take Grogu back to the safety of Naboo where the three of them will bond over eating frogs.

[@shauntempley9757]

I agree. ROTS makes it quite clear that Padme had no clue what the fires at the temple meant. Only Jar Jar Binks fits the timeline.

[@mechamanblade8465]

We need a Kelleran Beq action figure now! He shall have a place of honor in the Grogu Collection!

[@zeroethics3082]

You kept saying "There was a REAL Mythosaur in the water", expecting the Armorer to freak out. The Armorer has already stated that the Mythosaur will herald the rise of their people. More so, she is all about FAITH. So even if she has never seen it herself, she already "knows" the Mythosaur is real, because her faith tells her it is. This is only a "revelation" to Bo-Katan. I think the Armorers response was basically her saying, "You have to figure out what that means to YOU, the answer can't be given, but earned".

[@TheOctaviusLee]

BEST cameo. Honestly this beats Ahsoka and Luke for me, beats Boba Fett, this man deserved so much more respect than he got and he's finally getting it! So fucking happy for Ahmed!

[@marksobba]

An old Jar-Jar raises Grogu. The twist: It's episode 3 of last of us good.

[@neonhuntersynth]

The Naboo ship is Jar Jar's. Remember, at that time, he is a Naboo senator. And having Ahmed Best saving grogu in jar jar's ship is actually going full circle

[@javiherbou87]

"Star Wars is made for Star Wars fans for them to complain about it" Well, except when it's somewhat good. Mandalorian and Andor are to extremely different concepts and both are really beloved since they are quality products.
