Just cause Palpatine and Vader are dead, doesn't mean suddenly the Empire is just gone. Remnants of the Empire are still everywhere. The bosses were taken out but the Empire was across the galaxy.

[@frenchiekolsson]

It's like when Lincoln or JFK were assassinated. They were dead but the country didn't cease to exist because of that (obviously palps died during terrorist attack on a major job creating infrastructure project and not while out in public minding his own business, but it's similar)

[@christopherbrown6049]

Hell yeah

[@thedoctor4327]

The thing I liked about the stormtroopers this episode is how beat up and dirty their armor looks. Between that and previously using a GONK droid instead of the little mice droids to guide visitors around their base , it really sold the idea that the Empire (or at least this faction) is on the decline and is no longer a powerful faction at this point

[@jacktheflash8478]

When did the empire ever use mouse droids as guides?

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

And they never used that idea again...

[@CyberDalek17]

7:26 This scene is a perfect example of "Show don't Tell" letting the character's actions tell the audience what he's thinking without any dialogue and allowing them to draw their own thoughts and conclusions as to what's going through his head, and they managed to pull this off Without even showing the character's Face, it's so good

[@bigted6351]

This show is so good at that, and it has to be because as you said he always has a helmet on

[@Tar-Numendil]

Just makes me all the more pissed off at the Halo show.

[@papahamdrew9962]

Mando as a kid, his town was attacked by the separatists during the clone wars, as you can see by the super battle droids and droid gunships. This is why Mando doesn’t like droids. Even though the emperor is temporarily gone and Vader is dead, Palpatine has contingencies and empire is collapsing, but not fully gone

[@Shayia918]

Fun fact - Jon Favreau voiced the heavy Mando (he also voiced Pre Viszla in the Clone Wars). Loved your reaction as always! So glad you're watching this! 😁

[@thedoctor4327]

I was already enjoying his arc, but this is the episode Mando became one of my favorite Star Wars characters (top 3, just ahead of Rex but behind Obi-Wan)

[@thedoctor4327]

Full Top 10: 1. Obi-Wan 2. The Mandalorian 3. Rex 4. Palpatine 5. Thrawn 6. Ahsoka 7. K2SO 8. Maul 9. Yoda 10. R2D2

the flash backs actually take place during the clone wars not the imperial era, it was the CIS separatist droid army that razed Mando’s village when he was a kid. the “great purge” of Mandalore carried out by the empire, happened before the events of episode IV.

[@jacktheflash8478]

Where was it said it happened before episode IV?

[@moldomre4838]

The heavy Mando is voiced by Jon Favreau, as several people have pointed out. However, Jon Favreau also voiced Pre Viszla in Clone Wars.

[@lukewaddell4310]

it was the sepratist droid army attacking his homeworld in the flashbacks not the empire

[@danielcielak9228]

Btw, to answer your question about the empire being destroyed, Return of the Jedi ended when they killed the emperor/destroyed DS2, but the empire was still going, and still had control over a lot of the galaxy. They didn’t fall until a few years later (you can read about it in the Aftermath novel trilogy or play parts of it in Battlefront 2 campaign)

[@liaml.e.5964]

Mando's parents died during the Clone Wars, killed by the CIS. Also, the Empire fractured into several factions, one being the First Order and another the remnant that we see in this show.

[@hehu4025]

Mando follows the customs of the old Mandalorians from the time of the Mandalorian Wars. This is a kind of religion and a cult and respect for the former Mandalorian power. They never showed their face and fought the Jedii proudly, but they lost and Mandalorian Empire Colapse. Currently, the cult of the Mandalorian Wars or warriors is very small, which could be seen in the Clone Wars and Rebels where the Mandalorians did took off their helmets.

[@AarowSwift]

Just keep in mind that in regards to getting deeper into the show, this series is (thus far) of an episodic format, not a serialized one. The story of the episode is the focus, not an over arching plot. You'll enjoy it a lot more if you realize that up front.

[@jacktheflash8478]

Well it does have an over arching plot

[@AarowSwift]

@@jacktheflash8478 It has a background plot. Episodic shows don't typically have over arching plots that last more than a few episodes. For the most part they have a background plot that primarily serves the purpose of facilitating the telling of short stories (that typically last one episode, though you can have those multi parters). The easiest way to tell the difference is: does the episode serve the plot by developing or advancing it, or does the plot serve the episode by acting as a reason for the short story to take place. Mandalorian is pretty classically structured as an episodic show. Once the plot is introduced, it acts as connective tissue between episodes, but it sits in the background and all of the focus is on telling short stories until season's end. The episodes each have their own beginning, middle, and end and are a complete self contained story. Though, what happens in them can certainly influence future episodes, so while they are self contained stories, they aren't necessarily isolated events.

[@Iconic_Scarab]

Someone make a compilation of clips of Primate talking about being glad he watched the animated shows first/watched through chronologically so that when other reactors start their Star Wars journey you can just link to it to show an example of another reactor being glad they went with the suggestions because most of the time they don't.

[@zachfierro7105]

the big blue Mando is Paz Viszla, played by Jon Fav, showrunner and voice of Pre Viszla from the CW

[@SkyWalkn]

Been watching since the og channel when you started your SW journey in lockdown. Love your reactions and your prospectives on this show and many more, keep it up man

[@jneumy566]

Also, the thing with the Empire still kind of being around, I'm not sure if you've seen the sequel trilogy, but the Empire-like regime from those movies is basically just the old Empire reborn. After Return of the Jedi and the official disbanding of the Empire, there were a handful of Imperial officials that went against it and stayed in circulation and just hid way out in the corners of the galaxy. And then they slowly rebuilt their strength and eventually came back as the First Order from the sequels. So this time period is that transitional phase where the Empire's technically gone, but the remnants of the Empire are still around and trying to regain strength

[@jacktheflash8478]

He’s seen the sequels

[@derworfnet]

By the way, 'The Client' is played by veteran German Director Werner Herzog, who helmed movies like "Bad Lieutenant" with Nicholas Cage and "Rescue Dawn" with Christian Bale, among others. He only acts occasionally, but you can see him in "Jack Reacher" (another turn as an cold badguy) and hear his voice in Series like "The Simpsons", "Boondock Saints" and "Rick and Morty". Guy comes around. Just thought this would be a neat tidbit.

[@generalgrievous696]

Whistling birds are like the micro rockets Tony stark had in his iron man suit to take out the bad guys when he went to gulmira to liberate the town from the warlord

[@sassy7766]

I knew you would love seeing the Mandolorians in live action save the day. I honestly think they revealed themselves to help because Mando was saving the baby, now making baby yoda a Mandolorian foundling. They clearly value the foundlings from episode 1 when Mandolorian donated part of his beskar to the foundlings. It’s one of their core values. To me, the episodes just got up from here. I watched clone wars and rebels between the two Mandolorian seasons. I’m so glad I did. Like you I prefer rebels. I think it’s because I grew up with the og trilogy and that show that just more of that vibe. And this show I knew was going to be great from the sizzle reel alone. It just feels like Star Wars. I tolerated the sequels but I can’t rewatch them at all since the first episode of season 2 of the Mandolorian. It’s just so much more Lucas feeling than anything else in the Disney era.

[@dacianastilean-styles3895]

he clearly said that he enjoyed clone wars more overall but thought that clone wars' best moments were weaker than rebels' best moments which I can say I agree with. Other than that you are right

[@sassy7766]

@@dacianastilean-styles3895 ahh thanks for pointing that out. I may have missed that. I didn’t get to watch all of his reactions and sometimes I get interrupted while watching a lot too.

[@dacianastilean-styles3895]

​@@sassy7766 yeah don't worry. I think he said that in the last reaction for rebels or in the first one for Mandalorian.

[@msoundg]

This episode is so great! I was reminded for Sabine wanting a jetpack back in Rebels. And yes, I also am glad you took your time and watched the animated shows first, this way you will enjoy what's to come so much more! Great reaction, and it's only starting!

[@blondiedies]

This is THE episode that makes The Mandalorian great. It hooks you instantly. The second the man hesitates while starting up his ship you KNOW shit is gonna go down. This really is such a masterful episode of any series.

[@willsutton2235]

Mando’s parents were killed by separatist droids more then likely during the clone wars

[@dirty6593]

The big Mandalorian is actually played by “Jon Favreu” who you may know from his fame he got from his Emmy winning, Grammy nominated, Nobel Peace Prize winning movie called “Chef”. He also made the first iron man movie but no one cares

[@APG40]

Man this episode is great. It’s so cool to see the Mandalorians come out at the end. Fun fact, I’m pretty sure most of the background Mandalorians are part of the 501st legion (not the legion in the clone wars, but a real life group of cosplayers that was started in the late 90’s and then the name of the group was put into Canon when Dave Filoni created clone wars which is super cool) and they were asked to use their Mandalorian cosplays in the background of this episode as extras. Also, the big Mandalorian that picks a fight with Mando is Paz Visla who is related to Pre Visla from Clone Wars, and he’s played by Jon Favreau who also voiced Pre Visla and created this show. It’s just super cool to see and I can’t wait for more reactions to come

[@Crilyte]

The super battledroid in the flashback is 100% during the Clone Wars. Mando's parents were an unfortunate victim of the Separatists, and this explains why he doesn't like droids since the first episode

[@infernobread]

Can’t wait till he sees the moment if you know u know

[@LeChaunce]

There are four moments I'm waiting for.

[@jacob4920]

This series, so far, is chock full of "moments." You're going to have to be a little more specific. lol

[@jacktheflash8478]

Which one?

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817]

This first season was so good because it was isolated and felt like a brand new story, then season 2 came along and brought in tons of iconic characters and really made the "galaxy" feel more like a small solar system the way all the established characters just run into each other.

[@hydrahunter8740]

What an awesome episode

[@davidcase8635]

@IT'sAPrimate The Battle Droids that killed Mando's parents are soldiers of the Separatist Alliance (otherwise known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems) back in the Clone Wars.

[@jakesteakfries7969]

the big mando, as many people have told you, is voice by john favreu. He not only worked on this show as show runner, but he played pre vizla in the clone wars. also this mando is a relative/descendant of him. this is paz vizla

[@PuccaLover15]

A Mandalorian is dangerous. A Mandalorian father trying to protect his child…may the universe have mercy on your soul.

[@ItsAPrimatee]

[@clasher138]

Yeah he isn't really fond of droids because of what the separatist battle droids did to him

[@ikoandreas5085]

One of the shows highpoints for sure

[@Urmom-hw2sp]

so for clarification, Mando's parents were killed by the Separatists and not by the Empire, that's why he hates droids

[@nostalgicedits206]

Greef is the same actor that played Apollo Creed, in both Rocky I and II

[@Phatooine]

Since you have been watching the Rocky movies, you probably noticed that Carl Weathers who played Apollo Creed is in this series. 😁

[@pduidesign]

Those droids in the flashback aren’t Empire droids. They are droids from the droid army of the Confederation…The Clone Wars!!! 👍

[@LadiesmanB007]

It wasn’t the empire who killed his family it was the droid army. Those were the same gunships you saw kill Saw Gerrera’s sister, Steela, and super battle droids

it awesome see John Favreu. still gets voice someone in Clan Vizla

[@highlander31527]

Mando was fine with the kid being a bounty to recover alive. Mando was not okay with them killing a child in whatever they were doing in their lab.

[@Mcburgerwolf]

Can you please do a reaction to the gallery episodes of the making of Mando after you finish every season. It has interviews and takes of every director and maker of the Mando show and shows why this series just popped off, mainly cause after every interview you realize everyone they had on board was a star wars fan who couldn't believe they were making the next star wars

[@jessm.porthos]

Mandalorian’s walk is full boss lol

[@MrDavidseth]

Since you finished the Rocky series, recognize a certain Creed hookin Mando up with the bounties?! The flashbacks aren't about the Empire killing his parents... Those were droids from Clone War era!!

[@Michyosef]

It is not that important but it was the seperatists who had super battledroids and killed his family. So it happened during the clone wars.

"The Mandalorian" is the best Star Wars material Disney has ever produced. Second only to "Rogue One," but that's a movie. Movies are always on a different level from TV series. Their other two series: "Book of Boba Fett," and "Kenobi" are okay. But really just okay. Take 'em or leave 'em. Neither show has the weight that this show does. As evidenced by the fact that "The Mandalorian" is going into its' third season, by popular demand. Not a whole lot of other Disney shows, at the moment, can make that brag.

[@jacktheflash8478]

I think the bad batch is pretty popular as well

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817]

They started ruining Mando in Season 2 I feel like, hope season 3 goes back to it's roots and explores new things, I know casual audiences love the cameos but it really takes away from what's supposed to be a new story.
