Din loses the dark saber to the robot/android he fought in the mines of Mandalore, the robot actually takes the dark saber from Din and puts it on the ground. Bo Katan defeats the robot meaning she is the rightful owner of the dark saber

[@MgfExtra]

I hadn't thought of that...I wonder if that really counts!

[@MgfExtra]

You got this DEAD ON!!!

[@joeiorio9654]

“Man we need to ditch the animatronic mouths” CG Zeb: allow me to introduce myself

[@joeiorio9654]

So I assumed the Lasat was a test for Zeb in Ahsoka. Turns out it was Zeb. What a rollarcoaster

[@MgfExtra]

That's what I was first thinking here too!

[@KurtAnderson812]

The Dave Filoni cameo was a fun Easter egg

[@MgfExtra]

I didn't even notice him the first time lol

[@jackielui96]

Just a theory, maybe they left those evidence to blame the Mandalorian for rescuing Moff Gideon.

[@McFrozenNuggets]

That would be very interesting.

[@MgfExtra]

Right yeah!

[@abranca38]

My comment on the last reaction about the Mandalorians going back to Nevarro aged well it seems.

[@frogeater8659]

Looks like we won’t see Gorian Shard in Skeleton Crew, but maybe we’ll see Vain instead.

[@MgfExtra]

Yup!

[@frogeater8659]

@@MgfExtra Confirmed that we’ll see Vain in Skeleton Crew thanks to the footage people saw at Celebration.

This was an amazing episode. I really liked this one a lot and I thought it was great. I felt like everything about it was just so amazing in every aspect. The the story, the action and the interactions between the characters made this episode even more amazing. I also loved the score for this episode, it gave us both that classic Mandalorian theme that we love and some action, thriller sounding themes. And the set design for the locations in this was so amazing. Whether it was the planet the Mandalorians were on, Coruscant or Navarro they just looked so real and lived in through out the entire thing. It was really cool to see Greef Karga again, especially because throughout this episode we see that he actually does really care about the people and the city and is willing to risk his life in order to protect them. Also it really sucked to see the city getting destroyed after watching its progression for the past two and a half seasons. And we got to see Gorian Shard again which I loved, mostly because I just love his incredibly crazy design. Then we get to see Captain Carson Teva again since his last appearance in Season 2 which I thought was really great. And personally I am really loving the story they are writing for him through this show. It seems like every we meet him he is trying to warn others of a possible Imperial resurgence, but no one ever believes him. And especially after watching episode 3 from this season it really feels like he may be one of the only people in the New Republic that is smart enough to see what is coming. Anyways there were a ton of really cool cameos in that bar at that New Republic airbase. I mean Dave Filoni, Rick Famuyiwa, and Deborah Chow’s characters from earlier in this show were literally all just sitting at that bar talking which I thought was really cool. But of course I’ve got to talk about the big one, for the first time ever (I think) we have finally gotten a live action Lasat, but not just any Lasat, it was Zeb from Rebels. And I have got to say that thing looked great, I think they were able to perfectly transition the design from animation into live action. They even got Steve Blum to return to do the voice. I really loved the scene in the cave where Din must convince the other Mandalorians for the retaking of Navarro. But not just for Din’s section of the scene, but mostly because of Paz Vizsla’s. I really liked the way that he started it out by seeming like he was going to be the opposing side of the argument but then flips it around and ends up sticks up for Din. I really like this growth in his character that shows how he has a newfound respect for Din and gad looked past their previous disagreements. And I’ve got to talk about the awesome action scenes from the retaking of Navarro. I mean first of all it was just so awesome to get to see this many live action Mandalorians fighting together. And the choreography for both the land and sky battles felt amazing. Not only did I like that it felt like each of them had their own unique fighting styles but that despite that they were all still able to fight together as a group. And it was really great to get to see more Paz Vizsla and Armorer fighting scenes. Then we get this very interesting scene between Bo-Katan and The Armorer. Not only was I surprised to see the Armorer tell Bo to take her helmet off but even more surprised when she told her to use that to recruit other. It seems to me like the Armorer is hypercritically breaking the rules in order to lure other Mandalorians into her cult. And then in a surprising finale scene we see Carson Teva find the wreckage of the ship that was carrying Moff Gideon. This whole thing was crazy, not only is it confirmed that Moff Gideon escaped but Carson also finds a fragment of Beskar in the wreckage. Which I think is a set up by the Imperials to frame the Mandalorians. I really just enjoyed this episode a lot. It was so amazing in every aspect and served as a great action packed thriller. I am super curious to see where the rest of the story will lead the Mandalorian and Grogu and what will happen in next week’s episode. This is the Way

[@MgfExtra]

Fantastic summary! I especially like your observations about the Carson Teva plot. Really big sequel trilogy foreshadowing there. Also, yeah seeing the Mandalorians fighting together as a group like a unit despite their different styles was soooo cool. Felt like a KOTOR fan's dream come true all over again. Very similar magic to S1 Chapter 3! This is the way

[@LittleBlueReviews400]

Clearly with Zeb’s Appearance it’s a Preview of what’s to come for Ahsoka

[@blackout198341]

This season has direction since atleast episode 2

[@McFrozenNuggets]

Seeing Zeb in live action is proving to me one thing: *_Star Wars Rebels_* is aging like fine wine.

[@MgfExtra]

Well Ian...maybe some parts of it. Still largely dislike 80% of it lol

[@McFrozenNuggets]

​​@@MgfExtraI personally enjoyed it. People probably said the same things you said about *_Rebels_* when the prequels were first coming out, and guess how well THAT argument turned out. Not well at all. Because we're still getting prequel content two decades later. And hey, you and I share the same favorite movie of all time: *_Revenge of the Sith._*

[@jameshurcombe2049]

I don't suppose u did a bad batch episode 16 reaction? That would be so awesome to watch

[@MgfExtra]

Hey! Yeah no, unfortunately. Did not record any Bad Batch reactions for S2. Really just focusing on the customs now, but the mid-season and finale arcs were wild!

[@Buzz_CT]

My first gut reaction to finding Beskar alloy in the Lamda shuttle was it's a frame job. We know Pure Beskar is forged with Living Waters and resistant to blaster and lightsaber attack. But the 'alloy' version of Beskar is used by others, such as construction of Dark Troopers. We saw Luke slice through the alloy. Kane may have orchestrated Moff's release and planted Beskar alloy to shift suspicion onto the Mandalorians. Once Carson talks with Din/Armorer, he will know the Mando's are not involved. As far as Bo's helmet removal, the Armorer knows the only way to convince the Night Owl's and others to come to 'The Way' and assist the recovery of Mandalore, she must show her face to them as proof that she is Bo. Keeping her helmet on, they would think she was a brainwashed convert. My 2 cents :)

[@MgfExtra]

Great points! I'm a little doubtful about the whole "framing the Mandalorians" idea, because who would really believe that Mandalorians of all people were the ones to extract Moff Gideon? He led the planet-wide bombardment on their homeworld lol. Definitely cool seeing the Armorer recognize that Bo is a natural lifelong leader and that now is the time to do away with all the restricting rigid practices of the Watch in this case.

[@mythdusterds]

This was a fun reaction. I agree. Seeing an Astometrics droid do that looked cool.

[@MgfExtra]

Very unexpected!

[@edwin831]

Zeb, one of the best Star Wars Rebels characters, glad to see him make it into live action

[@christopherhanton6611]

yes that was like space captain hook his assistant! was Smee

[@Jedi_Bob_Studios]

This was a good one

[@MgfExtra]

Agreed!

[@t.g.b.1164]

So, was that the last of the trailer footage we saw in this episode?

[@MgfExtra]

Was it?? I hadn't thought of that yet!

[@overborg]

I'm so glad they didn't try to do the animatronic mouth for Zeb.

[@MgfExtra]

Oh my god yeah me too. The full-on CG model is the right way to go!

[@germancito2501]

zeb??????

[@captainbat37]

[@MgfExtra]
