MANDALORIAN 3x06 BREAKDOWN! Every Star Wars Easter Egg You Missed!

[@Zanteri]

I think the main reason why the negativity toward droid returned for Din is because it's specifically battle droids. The same droids responsible for the initial trauma

[@evan3958]

I also think it was just intimidation and not him going back to his old ways. Surprised Eric didn’t consider that

[@kyleyoung2464]

he was only ok with ig11, not the others.

[@SpecialInterestUnit]

Not only that but these are from the same era, some could have contributed to the attack on his planet

[@TheRMF1]

My thoughts exactly.

[@yogtheterrible]

@@evan3958 I agree. Seeing an odd amount of negativity towards what I consider a great episode. One of my favorite in the season tbh.

[@lachlanpolson3259]

Did anyone else notice when the battle droid threw the crate, Bo actually tripped the civilian making him fall and not get hit? Din looked back to see if he was okay.

[@erikagholston6610]

Thanks, I didn't catch that.

[@jesselindsey1613]

It makes complete sense that Din’s previous distrust of droids is stoked by a whole bunch of droid’s malfunctioning violently. Particularly when some of those droids are the same B2 battle droids that killed his family.

[@ghiggs8389]

And with IG11 he learned first-hand about them reverting to their base programming.

[@brewski118sempire]

I can't even imagine how his ptsd would be flaring seeing the battle droids that destroyed your life.

[@ronniehall1629]

I think the Armer is Omega fett

[@seanwalkerfilm]

I don’t think he ever stopped hating droids, but that he grew fond of IG-11. The reason he went after him is because he refused to trust another droid until he absolutely had too.

[@jacobyspurnger8488]

And the one droid other than ig-11 that he trusted betrayed him last episode.

[@vincentt2309]

Exactly! Idk why everyone think he stopped hating them, he specifically says IG is the only one he trusts.

[@baoxidiaoyu]

And r5 betrayed their secret base location

[@its_dey_mate]

I think he definitely stopped hating droids, we are shown that through his interactions with the BD unit on Tattoine and with the astromech he at the very least now tolerates them. Most likely learning that *Battle droids* are still used and they have gone wild made him mad.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

+Sean Walker Also, when he went to see Grogu in Book of Boba Fett, he sees R2-D2 and says "hello friend".

[@fritzk3627]

“Plazier” does not mean peaceful. It means, “Pleasure” in many Latinate-branch languages. It’s a literal Pleasure Dome, which refers to both Kublai Khan’s Pleasure Dome in Coleridge’s poem and then the 80’s hit album/song from FGTH. Van Halen also wrote a song called’ “Pleasure Dome.”

[@stevena.7022]

placer. from latin. placid but I think they were going for both as a sort of ironic commentary

[@waltermc3906]

How come no one else had noticed that Jack Black's character isn't just wearing an Amnesty Program Badge, but that he is actually wearing the whole Amnesty Program Uniform? Look at it, it is the same blue outfit that every other amnesty program subject wears, only he has had a bunch of piping, trim, embroidery, and a cape added to it.

[@carltonp420]

100% on why Mando treated the droid so well, he owed his life. And he is a mandolorian. His word is everything.

[@rubykgarrett]

2:23 quick note, i think plaizir was meant to be a play on _plaisir_ which is french for 'pleasure' and not peaceful :)

[@Lupin788]

That was my initial take as well.

[@snmrikki9026]

Erik Voss thank you and everyone that works on the channel. Every episode/movie from marvel and star wars gets broken down by you guys and its like watching the it again with someone who is also noticing the little details. Please keep it up!

[@Nirashi]

Him giving the saber away like that makes sense. He was trying to give it away when he first got it. Now it's no longer his problem

[@TheRandomSandwiches]

Exactly! Like he decided he'd try to learn it but he was absolutely more than happy to give it up.

[@ghiggs8389]

He should have kept the staff

[@Perska2411]

I was actually wondering why more people didn't realise it then. I was happy to see it pay off

[@redguy2215]

why do i have a feeling the saber will find its way back to Din? i can see him thinking "not this sht again" XD

[@Nirashi]

@Redguy221 that would be funny af.

[@matthiasarran270]

I liked the cameos and the mini mystery of this episode. It's like one of those nice side quests in a fast paced rpg where you can just relax and enjoy the scenery

[@Akuroxradio]

This episode is full of Scifi references. Blade Runner 2049 (lab scene 14:24 ) Hyperloop scene is almost shot for shot from the city panoramic scene in Logan's Run plus the crazy droid laser in the lab, also Logan's Run, Sounds from Minority Report, Hal obviously 2001, (BTW : kmandinav is russian for commander) It is so cool that you guys and Ryan from Screen Crush mention each other. It's very nice to see that there is no competition between you . We are all one big nerd family!

[@chriscromelin413]

I totally caught the Logan's Run and Blade Runner nods

[@bpmode]

I was thinking blade runner in the lab and the chase scene

[@declanneville5081]

I really enjoyed the nod to "We don't serve your kind here" from the original trilogy when Mando and Bo walk in

[@vipe650r]

Yeah, that was a nice bit, and I was waiting for it. They tee’d it up nicely.

[@thelightwielder]

I think his issue with the droids is these type of battle droids were the same type that killed him family. Since IG was a different type of droid and he fought alongside it he was able to overlook his feelings,

[@galvanizedgnome]

Every episode is a "side quest." Think about it. Look back on the last 2 seasons.

[@Legonios]

How? We've waited 2.5 years for a side quest with 2 episodes to go🤦‍♂️

[@natehemmerich8367]

I really thought they would find the IG memory circuit here. The whole city was filled with repurposed droids, and there were even Ugnauts to tie in Kuiil.

[@jessiey416]

I was thinking it's all the more reason to come back to the planet!!

[@cliffordekron968]

We haven't seen them leave yet so I won't be surprised if Din visits the Ugnauts again.

[@KevynKing]

At the beginning of the season I'm pretty sure Din says something about how "it has to be" IG-11 cause that's the only droid he trusts (I'm paraphrasing) him forgiving other droids hasn't been fully established and being surrounded by battle droids I could see being upsetting. Even with the R5 unit he brought it along begrudgingly.

[@nuclearghost788]

I have zero complaints about this season or any of the seasons. The fact that I can watch it with my children and they LOVE it I am a happy fan.

Seth Gabel who voiced the robot bartender is actually married to Bryce Dallas Howard who directed this episode.

Paraquat is a herbicide that has been known to kill people through accidental ingestion because of its similar appearance to carbonated drinks. I’m not sure if the writers had that in mind or just came across it as a word to inspire a name.

[@dogberry99]

I always read Mando's character growth as learning to trust individual droids but still mostly distrusting them as a whole (though maybe also begrudgingly trusting droids trusted by people he trusts, like Peli Motto's droid crew). This is why he was intent on reviving IG-11 specifically and went to great lengths to attempt to accomplish it. Additionally, R5 literally just ratted out the covert's location to one of their old war buddies, so I'm sure that didn't help much with Mando's trust levels.

[@caryndreams]

Loved all the cameos. If Grogu likes someone, you know you can trust them.

[@twstf8905]

The Mandalorian keeps getting better, every week! The less; "Star Wars," they try making it, the further afield they go, into wilder and even wackier territory, the more it feels like Star Wars! Even in the Clone Wars series, it was always the weird and wonderful, (a strange stop-over on Mortis, the Nightsisters on Dathomir, General Krell, in the Darkness on Umbara, and even Colonel Meebur Gascon and his; "D-Squad," etc.) that made for some of the best, most memorable arcs of storytelling in the entire saga. Whether you're a fan of the current season of the Mandalorian or not, it's arguably impossible to deny they're still using the series to further expand the boundaries of what Star Wars can be! And as for me? I am ALL IN for that! Not every episode, (or even every season,) is going to be everyone's favorite, which is why it's awesome we're living through these times, when there's no end in sight for many more! (Especially for someone who lived through the so-called; "dark times," following Return of the Jedi. When, for all we knew, any future prospects of getting any more stories told in that Galaxy would be limited to whatever fans could get Lucasfilm to approve of. (What became the; "expanded universe.") (Now; "Legends.") So, it's difficult to not appreciate whatever we get, when we were for so long left to go without. _(I'm just sayin' ✌️)_

[@aaronlycaon8404]

I don’t think he suddenly has a hatred of droids again he just has almost a vendetta or hatred of just battle droids and the ones that attacked his home and he tolerates other droids

[@ricemxn]

Din has grown to accept only the droids that he has physically seen in positive lights. He is a hunter, after all, and IB earning his respect after fighting alongside him is not an unorthodox idea. The Resistor scene was there to demonstrate that Din’s mentality toward droids has not necessarily changed to include an inherit trust of all droids, BUT only the ones he knows to be trustworthy.

[@MeteOguc]

Overall message of the episode: Violence doesn't solve everything. Mando's approach to the Ugnaughts, Bo-Katan's with the Droids, and the hand-off of the Dark Saber by protecting a fellow Mandalorian rather than fighting them in one on one combat. It is very distracting with the cameos though...

[@adamwhite2329]

The guard on the right when they first walk into the feast chamber is director Bryce Dallas Howard. Tackling the droid through a window is a nod to Bladerunner (as is much of the city design in those scenes). The techno leader seated at the table in the prequels flashback is Wat Tambor.

[@rileypugh6412]

I think people are misunderstanding how great Din's disdain for droids is. For example, both his parents and most of his childhood village were massacred by battle droids. That is some very serious childhood trauma. He befriended an Ugnaught whom he learned to trust, and he trusted his work (IG-11), that doesn't mean he's learned to trust any random droid... he barely trusts people!

[@rileypugh6412]

He learns to tolerate droids, and pretty frequently interacts with friendly or docile ones in a completely calm manner... But tell him that an entire planet's droid infrastructure is going haywire and attacking people randomly, and you can expect him to be perfectly content with destroying them mercilessly.
