You said Gideon wasn't a Mandalorian but I think we don't actually know that yet. Gideon could have been a Mandalorian before he was an Imperial hence his knowledge of their lore. But maybe it's just cos he was ISB and seems to know everything.

[@danielschneider9312]

One thing I was struck by was the fact that both Grogu and Din relived the worst day of their respective lives while watching the armourer forging pieces for them. It was made even more significant by the armourer's lines about how they are refined in the forge just as the beskar is.

[@GowanusRecords]

Not a Jedi

[@chrismangold7609]

There is a parallel between Din Djarin and Grogu during the forging process. In Season 1, Din goes through his trauma as a child before being rescued while the armored is forging his beskar. Now Grogu is going through reliving his trauma during the forging process. I think that they may be implying that this forging process is not only literal, but metaphorical process to forge the hearts of mandalorians after their traumas.

[@Lowdo1549]

Haha I thought this too. Classic

[@Drumsticks27]

Also to the Mosasaurus scene from Jurassic World

[@DoomDadward]

It's not fair to say that's always a nod to that scene. It's just life man. I don't see my cat eat a lizard and say "There's always a bigger fish." Though admittedly as I type this I'm wondering why I haven't.

[@jakedonovan1670]

Thought the crab scene was still a form of Jedi training, showed he was in touch with animals like Ezra as they immediately leave once he does.

[@TimManuelMiranda]

I thought that he was stopping them from being able to leave. Mando even tells him that he needs to "focus," but it's funny because he was using a ton of focus just then by holding all the crabs from leaving. And Mando was walking away and thought they were all rocks, so he had no idea. At least that was how I read it.

[@robertblackmore703]

Ahmed gets his flowers! Goddamn right. No one could have done anything to salvage Jar Jar and my man did not deserve the hate he got, not even a little. Really happy to see this and I hope they keep using him. ❤

Kelleran could appear in the sequel to Jedi Survivor…

[@vascoernesto78]

[@Mandozen]

@@vascoernesto78 He did. He and his family got death threats because he played a Star Wars character that annoyed people. That’s why he contemplated unaliving himself. People need to learn to separate the actor from the characters they play. He did not deserve the hate at all.

[@maximus1720]

Din and Visla give me such an Obi Wan and Anikan vibe. They are natural rivals and powerful mandalorians respected by the rest of their kind. Visla knows he was destined for great things, wants more and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He could be the future antagonist for this series. Just like how Anikan truly wanted the best for his people but was selfish and used dark methods to achieve them which ultimately made him bad. Din is just naturally gifted with an obligation to uphold and protect the creed. He has a will to survive even under the worst circumstances, and with out question jumps in between chaos and innocents, much like our favorite jedi master…

[@takeidas]

Legit made me tear up seeing him as the one who helped Grogu escape. I'm so happy for him!

[@KingCobraLolcow]

It is also now my head-canon that: Nubian ship + senatorial guards = Jar Jar got Grogu off the planet (in more ways than one)

[@MikeCaputo1984]

Bo saying “I didn’t embarrass him in front of everyone” … I could see as a dig at her pacifist sister for publicly refusing to take the creed. The Mando equivalent of being left at the altar. 😂

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Seeing Bo- katan sort of try to fit in with the other mandalorian is really interesting like how she ask about how they eat ,and if she can wear the mythosaur, and nite owl marks at the same time.

[@DanIAmIBe]

Yes! And at the same time more than earning her stripes as a leader.

[@ryanmorley8211]

Carl Weathers is awesome. Apollo Creed yo.

[@gloriamann2195]

If only Tobias were there to learn from his wisdom. Maybe his apprenticeship has continued.

[@lup1up]

Got nothing against him, but don't y'all think his directed episodes are some of the worst? The Siege in S1 and now this episode...I know it's a team effort so can't fully blame script, storyboard, cinematography, choreography, etc. on him but I think those things have now been at their worst in his episodes and it can't be chance can it? The quality has felt so uneven this season. Mines of Mandalore was mostly amazing, especially on cinematography, character design, and action. Convert was great with plot. But Ep 1 and this one (esp. beach and Navaro scenes) just seem so, so bad in terms of script, cinematography, and overall production value. Ship CGI are almost always on point though, for that I appreciate.

[@Jake_E57]

Bo Katan lead the hunting party not because she did all that badass stuff before, but because she had the idea to chase the bat creature with her ship and find out it's lair. She did the recon to figure out to get the foundling back. I also think she's not so much looking to take over Mandalore again as much as she is struggling with her identity as a Mandalorian. She tried to be part of the militant Death Watch, she tried to lead Mandalore, she's been all these things and failed at them all, but now when she didn't believe she saw someone who did. She's heard the creed and those who take it to heart, she's seen the Mythosaur, she's had her home destroyed, she's been welcomed into the Covert and was given lead of the hunting party. So far this season the Mandalorian story lines have been heavily about her.

[@apricity69]

If Bo Katan becomes the Mandalore, then it’s a story about redemption. That might be a better story than if Din or Grogu become the Mandalore. Time to start looking for Shawshank Redemption Easter eggs. “Get busy living or get busy dying. This is the way.”

[@warrendourond7236]

I think the night owls are more stealth specialists, which gives her the more qualified to lead this specific mission.

[@ajk635]

She has never hesitated to bail out ANY mandalorian in trouble. Her true nature is to save her people.

[@whitehorse4318]

One Easter egg you missed is the scene depicting a sacred Native American mountain. This mountain is in Native American lore, where the Monster Bird feeds humans to her babies. The mountain is called "Tse Bitah" and this episode is parallel to our lore. Even saving the babies which become our sacred birds.

[@IronPsyde]

On top of that, NM has many incentives for filmmakers to shoot there, so it makes sense. I used to teach out of Tohatchi, and have passed by it countless times. Pretty neat!

[@caitomusicofficial]

I really liked that both Grogu and Din have flash backs about traumatic events when looking at the forge. "it's like poetry, they rhyme"

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I think grogu is going to communicate with the baby fondlings to tame them. He is the only one who can communicate with wild beasts using the force like Ezra.

[@shawarden]

Only issue there is if Bo sees him do that, she'll probably try to take him back to Mandalor to tame the Mytho. But then who is the Mandalor? Bo didn't tame the beast, Grogu did.

[@kingofboos_4468]

@redqueenpiece they dont, but after Grogu put a rancor to sleep? he'd be nice to have around to avoid getting eaten

[@thecoolblacknerd]

Ashoka also communicates with animals, I’m sure she’ll teach grogu this more & he’ll tell her about seeing the space whales 🐋 and that’s how we find Ezra

[@Lukeywoodsey]

I just thought Bo was joking and they'd eat them...

[@ryanmorley8211]

Lol uhh... how the hell are those giant monster bird chicks going to become Mandolorian warriors. I thought the idea with Grogu was a stretch but come on... their fucking wild bird beasts!

[@PeterJonesKajuenRyu]

Couple of extra bits of interest: When the Mandalorians are sparring the submission word is “sufficient” which is the word used in English purring or shin-kicking contests. When Jedi on Coruscant is fighting using two lightsabers he’s performing patterns from Filipino martial arts, specifically the movement pattern “sinawali” which translates to “weaving”

[@mixflip]

Just a note: Rappelling or abseiling is when you "descend" down a rock face (or building). You dont rappel up.

[@Cosm1c_Donut]

I got a totally different vibe from the Armorer at the end. Bo Katan kept saying she saw the mythosaur and the best reply she got was "well when you walk the way you're gonna see many things" as if she STILL didn't wanna admit that Bo Katan could've seen a real live mythosaur

[@ShinRyuuk]

Just saying: Grogu being given that little plate over his chest is just setting up an instance for him to be shot/hit in the next four episodes, probably the 7th when some of the biggest things have happened, notably Grogu getting kidnapped.

[@thebaptistwasher]

​@@patsystone34 And I'm here for it.

[@thepastorate3]

One thing that strongly struck me while watching this episode was the contract between how the Jedi treated their padawans, and how the Mandalorians treated their foundlings. The Jedi taught their children to detach themselves and suppress their feelings. The Mandalorians trained their children to connect to each other as a community and work through their feelings. The armorer took Grogu by the hand and taught him about the forge and how it reveals the flaws within the steel. I firmly believe that at this point, when Grogu has a flashback, it is Grogu working through his emotional past.

[@fudalefu1]

Now I want to see the Jar Jar actor act as Jar Jar and his new Jedi character in the same scene, as they interact with each other and save Grogu together. The ultimate way to save Jar Jar’s reputation.

[@BOABModels]

Ahmed Best was totally awesome in this episode and it's so great to see him back in Star Wars after Jar Jar.

[@THEB0SS497]

Picking up on what you said about Bo Khatan being the main character of this episode, one interesting thing I've noticed is that every episode so far has ended on a shot of her, or with her in frame.

[@Tarriq]

She's definetly the focal point of the season. Last season the focal point seemed to be Moff Gideon. Season 1 the Focal point was Grogu

[@truthhurts3524]

Wondering if Grogu wasn’t being distracted by food, but the crabs were drawn to him. After seeing him calm the Rancor, like Grogu has a connection with animals. I believe that’ll lead to Grogu calming/taming/riding the Mythosaur.

[@spencersholden]

Oh my gosh! Imagine Kelleran and Jar Jar meeting! Such a cool idea. He is a senator from Naboo.

[@miguelprieto2817]

[@thomashart3473]

My hope was Shaak Ti would've saved Grogu to give her a definitive, canon ending for her character - but seeing Ahmed Best in that role is fantastic & heart warming too.

Shooting into the water is actually a good idea with the blasters. They are testing their blaster's sights and recoil. If you can consistently hit the same spot for an extended period then your blaster needs minimal tuning but if you find yourself having to continuely readjust your aim then you need to tune your blaster. Also the Raptor babies now give us a really good indicator as to how much time has passed as we have now seen them as hatchlings so we would expect that next time we see them they'll have some change.

Bo and Din are definitely going to become a couple. If you notice the couples in mandaorians share similar colors on their armor. Paz visla and his son and partner all share the same colors. Bo and Din keep being posed together side by side and they are both there supporting Grogu. We see Grogu receive his armor piece that's just like his dad's Din armor. Shiny and Mudhorn symbol. Din jumps at the opportunity to go with, support, backup Bo. They trust and respect each other. After seeing the Mythosaur, Bo no longer sees Din as foolish for believing the old way, but now she really respects Din and his dedication. Then after the mission, Bo loses a piece of her armor. It is replaced and looks just like Din armor. Slowly showing they are becoming one/couple

I think the crabs are also just helping show grogus connection to the living force. Much like Ezra he can communicate with creatures though the force. Book of boba showed this with the rancor. I think grogus is definitely the mcguffen to finding Ezra in ashokas series and may even be the mandlore that can tame the mythosaur and wield his father darksaber. Also giving star wars a way to tell stories with characters we know but in a distant future.

[@kathyfey1336]

At the very least, Grogu can get those lizard birds trained up.

[@terriellis3697]

Yes! The crabs all leave when Grogu departs. He's calling out to them through the force. It may just be for a snack right now, but I fully expect him to be riding one of those bat/dragon creatures in a few episodes.

[@liguanodonteelegante432]

Another reference I think you missed: the scene with the giant acquatic monster eating the flying reptile is reminiscent of the Jurassic World (2015) scene where the Mosasaur eats the Pteranodon (alongside Katie McGrath/Zara Young) during the rampaging scene of the pterosaur flock

[@josephchandler8828]

I thought that the armorer was gaslighting Bo Katan when she explained about the mythosaur. The way she said this is the way sounded to me like she was trying to convince Bo that it was only a spiritual experience and not a real mythosaur. I wouldn't be surprised if the armorer turns out to be the bad guy of the season

[@thanatos796]

I believe the Sabrak style horns on the Armorer indicate that she was a follower of Darth Maul. Many of Death Watch added them in Clone Wars after Maul took over. It would make sense she hates Bo Katan for bringing in Ahsoka and the Clones to defeat Maul.

The scene with the Armourer and Bo-Katan was perfect. Bo's exasperated, child-like 'it was real!' was her saying 'no, no, not like some hocus pocus cultist bs, I really saw one', and the Armourer's knowing 'this is the way' reply was really saying 'of course, none of this is fairy tale, it's all real, we believe it, and if you thought otherwise you're in for a wild ride kid'.

[@harryevans1111]

I don’t think the armorer was being faithful, I think she already knew about the mythosaur. She had no surprise, and she already had water from Mandalore in season 1. She sent Din there to die, and he returned with: -the darksaber -the former leader of her people -a Jedi/Mandalorian foundling -a mythosaur sighting So that’s why she just accepted Bo Katan with him into the covert after spending 2 seasons talking trash about her mistakes. She thinks it’s a sign from god or the universe or whatever. Or she’s plotting.

[@claytonwillis8474]

The forge also made Din recall his childhood trauma in the first episode of the series. Oh and it is most definitely not the same space gator from the first episode of the season, Din blew that one to bits.

[@SadwichPunch2100]

Calling it now. Had the thought as I watched this video. In the finale of the season, Bo Katan challenges Din for the Dark Saber at the Sacred Waters with the Armorer as judge. Somehow, during the duel, the Dark Saber breaks. Then, the duel is interrupted by the Mythosaur. After a battle where both Din and Bo get incapacitated by the Mythosaur, Grogu uses the Force to tame the Mythosaur, and it recedes to the depths. The Armorer gathers the broken pieces of the Dark Saber and uses them to craft a small Dark Saber for Grogu. Proclaiming him the future Leader of the Mandolorians.

That is the worst fan fiction I have ever read

[@mattfoley4128]

That ain't the way😂

[@SadwichPunch2100]

@Esteban Garcia it's a wild theory, I know, but I had to put it down. The first words was a later thought, that I added, but eventually he has to speak to take the Creed.

I'll be disappointed if his first words aren't "The way, this is"

Bit more trivia about shriek-hawks, though less related to this show: their eyes are actually the inspiration for the "jaig eyes" on the helmets of Captains Rex and Fordo.

Darth Jar Jar has returned

[@olivedrabwool]

I got betrayal vibes from Bo-Katan's tone of voice and especially the music at the end of the episode so I'm interested to see where this goes.

[@Mtlkat77]

i thought that at first but then we i thought about it it didnt amke sense. i think she coming to the realisation that she isnt going to be the one to rule mandalor or have the dark saber but she has to put on a brave face so to speak which is where her attitude and vioce make it sound like shell betray them. remember she has had 3 chances to bring mandalor back together.

[@Fit_For_The_Republic]

Great review! I didn't realize the Jar Jar easter egg until you mentioned it.

[@lifeinjersey9846]

I hate Jar Jar as a character but I'm so happy to see Ahmed get the support and love from the fans he deserved. It wasn't his fault the character was written bad. Death threats and suicidal thoughts over the bullying and backlash he received is just horrible. He deserves his spot and I hope we see more of him

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

So glad grogu will be slowly getting his armor he's a true mandalorian ,and I'm glad the mandalorian are accepting him ,I love the mandalorian culture, and way of life definitely need more in future episodes!

[@President-JonSnow.Malkowich]

That’s the thing with sects. From the outside the seem nice and alluring, they provide a sense of belonging, companionship and family. But deep down most of them are rotten to the core. They force you to cut ties to you now non believing friends and family, they force their way of life and world views upon you, where a differing opinion could mean exposition or other forms of “torture” in order to make you rethink your ways. Sects crush individualism and thrive on obedience, blind obedience at that. So while a sect may seem “cool” never trust them. Not on your life. Edit: This is literally what they did to Din. He broke their norms (took his helmet off), so they cast him away. They took from him what he needs most, a sense of belonging / family. He is desperate for that and w/o that he goes crazy. Now when he returned to the sect, he’s even more extreme, even more faithful. They “tortured” him back into submission and frankly now that I see it this way (yes when I wrote this comment I came to this epiphany) I hate this sect of the Mandos.

[@ashb8205]

This is the way

[@garyhall2770]

You definitely never served in the military because there is nothing better than taking off your body armor and Kevlar helmet after wearing it for 8 plus hours in a row in weather that is 80 degrees or higher.

[@josiahcombellick8559]

All I thought when the gator thing ate the raptor was “there’s always a bigger fish”

[@PreppingWithSarge]

Y’all know that it is gonna be revealed later that Moff Gideon is a Mandalorian who turned against his people right? There have been hints since season 1. Anyway, that red mando helmet in the intro was possibly another hint. Remember you heard it from me first!

[@Thisistheway2050]

And that he bested Bo Katan in combat and got the dark saber at some point. It wasn't just laying around waiting for someone to take it.

[@itsveziik8043]

[@im2tired2sleep]

when i saw the elevator open i was like “who th is that?” 😭 then “oh he’s a badass that’s who” hope we get a lot more of this guy! edit: i knew he looked familiar but i now realize it’s jar jar, im glad they gave him a better character but Ahmed deserves an overwhelming amount of apologies, some people aren’t able to detach an actor from their character and it’s disappointing, although people like Ahmed, Jake, and Daisy, didn’t have the best characters, the actors themselves aren’t at fault and shouldn’t have to deal with a horrendous amount of harassment over simply doing what the writers and directors decided on.

The Armorer, "That Beskar spear's mere existence is a threat to all Mandolorians" Also The Armorer, "Take the Beskar spear's and train on the beach."

[@turnerjazz7872]

When the youtube review is as long as the actual episode... lol

[@jahprime6932]

1. I think what's good is the story of a people losing or being removed from their land and looking to the stars is shared throughout history. 2. I would love a Carl Weathers Arrested Development line this season.

[@JustComradeV2]

I really liked chapter 20. I thought it would be pretty bad since it was the shortest episode in the series, but I liked the Grogu backstory, some Paz Vizsla content, and that dragon reminded me of the Gorgara from fallen order.

[@Viper989626]

I actually took Grogu sitting with the crabs as him using a Jedi beast ability to make them feel at ease and approach him because when he leaves so do they.

[@mattp1337]

Prediction: when Grogu finally gets a helmet, his ears will be folded down and the helmet will resemble a mythosaur. This fits with the idea that Grogu will eventually be The Mandalore who unites and leads the Mandalorians.

[@justingee6905]

That "your mom" joke always catches me off guard and always gets me laughing.

[@ManuelRamirez-of3fe]

Ahmed is wielding two lightsabers to save Grogu! He is so badass! Finally redemption!

[@jamesbartlett5640]

He picked the blue one up from the dead Jedi in the lift.

[@djnausea975]

I actually really liked the lightsaber fight he did to save Grogu - it was slow and methodical which gave me the sense that he was in control of the situation--tactfully and precisely deflecting blasters, not just dancing around hoping it'd work.

[@LOZi175]

Glad they finally gave Ahmed props after all of these years!!! Well done!!!🎉

[@Frani298]

14:56 idk man, I was specially impressed by his skills considering this are not shitty stormtroopers but highly trained clones from Kamino

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I knew from the second he appeared in the premiere that Ragnar was Paz visla's son that helmet he was wearing had such an unmistakably uncanny resemblance to paz's helmet. Now I just begs the question, who is his mom?🤔.

[@Tarriq]

Likely someone from the clone wars

[@NinPossible]

And did they bang while wearing the helmets??

[@cacogenicist]

Hummingbirds don't generally eat worms -- they do catch tiny flying insects and the occasional little spider, but not large insect larvae and annelids (yes, hummingbirds need protein, kids; they don't _only_ drink nectar, and they do feed their babies little arthropods).

[@whamblamo]

I really appreciate your guys’ content but was really bummed to have this spoiled for me with the Thumbnail and title in the middle of the day before I’d have a chance to watch. Would have been a great feeling to realize Best’s role while watching instead.

[@mikeuk666]

For the clicks

[@dkarras]

Ditto but comments don’t matter to these “easter egg” channels w/ millions of subs. It’s just more engagement. Only thing that will eventually matter is enough unsubs & a drop in views. At least this channel isn’t deleting these complaints like Charlie is over at Emergency Awesome w/ his higher subs & super lazy content.

[@whamblamo]

Yeah I'm likely gonna unsub just for the sake of the algorithm and day-of spoilers, will seek it out when I need a Doug Hi5

[@waltergregg3706]

The mystery evil Mandalorian in the opening is probably Moff Gideon.

[@ScottZirkel]

If the foundling they saved is a descendant of Pre Vizsla, does that make him Post Vizsla?

[@BensBrickDesigns]

Post Vizsla ergo Propter Vizsla

[@TimEllis]

Every Doug high five puts such a smile on my face

[@NiickTheDiick]

The rock crabs continually coming closer without him using Jedi powers are to signify how powerful of a connection Grogu has with animals through the living force

[@seanj3667]

Who said he wasn't using his Jedi powers?

[@Mtotheissle]

That one guy being like "THATS MY SON!" made me unexpectedly burst out laughing for some reason. The dude showed no sense of urgency before that moment. Also did the momma bat have that youngling inside her stomach for an entire day or am I missing something?

[@KreyMG]

Grogu's reliving of memory while the armorer is forging him armor is identical to Din Djarin's getting his full armor on season 1.

[@hypeflexington7081]

The forge Is the ole spicy memory generator 9000

[@ltils9081]

I'm a casual Star Wars fan, I've not watched any of the animated stuff but really enjoy the breakdowns here that delve into the series that I've missed to fill in the gaps! Also I didn't mind that Mando and Grogu reunited in Book of Boba Fett, maybe I'm alone in that but this is an extended universe like the MCU I guess so I don't think it's out there for storylines to progress within other characters shows. Really enjoyed this series so far!

[@thegiantpenguin9651]

I've really appreciate all the Jewish symbolism in the show, and Ryan noting them in his breakdowns, but one very VERY VERY important clarification, is that Jewish Halacha is practiced by all orthodox Jews, all over the world, many of whom live in large cities, and are also regular 9-5 professional. The isolationist 'Anti-Zionist Ultra orthodox' Jews he's referring to are a subset of a subset of a subset of the Jewish world. So it's super important that if you see a Jewish person with a beard and black hat, who keeps strict Torah law, walking down the street in New York, that does NOT immediately mean that are a xenophobic zealot. Chances are, they could work at a small business, vote liberal, and are just trying to get through life one day at a time like everyone else. I know he was just repeating what he was told, but I really hope Ryan sees this comment and clarifies in his next video what he meant to because I would hate for people's take away that the only Jews who follow Halacha are extremists 😥

[@ImprentaRaddiana]

Important comment - when Ryan made that point it also struck me as deeply incorrect: naive at best and very ignorant at worst. He should try to tread more carefully when making comparisons like this in future episodes, and research the facts about modern Judaism more deeply.

[@tzipky]

Agreed, gotta be very careful of perpetuating gross stereotypes.

[@TheDanLevy]

Yup! I really hope @screencrush addresses this I was so confused when he mentioned the anti-Zionist part and then didn't really explain the connection. Saying Ultra Orthodox Jews would have been sufficient Also, a nitpick - only married Orthodox Jewish women cover their hair while all Orthodox Jewish men regardless of age or marital status wear a kipah or head covering
