[@ineone]

Im all for a series set 500 years in the future where Grogu wields the dark saber and has rebuilt both the Mandalorian and Jedi order.

[@skits_3d824]

I think our boy mando is hurting after loosing pretty much everything. His son, his ship, and now his clan he grew up with has faught and disowned him. 😢 While Boba has been healing making connections and even family now to fight with. Din is alone and what Boba said before makes even more sense. You can only get so far without a tribe

[@JBWinter]

At some point Din has to learn that he is The Mandalor, so he gets to decide what makes one a Mandalorian

[@darksidedelta]

@@JBWinter that's what i was thinking also. He has the dark saber, he can make the rules now not just follow them blindly.

[@ronweber1402]

@@JBWinter I believe that in this series we will see Din go and come back from seeing Grogu but none of the details and in the first episode of season 3 of The Mandalorian we will see those details and then Din will return from helping Boba and Luke will train him to use the Darksword.

[@madelinegarber7860]

Exactly. He’s in a terrible mental place. And I think getting recruited by Fennec was exactly what he needed to remind him that he’s not alone and to give him motivation to keep going and doing what’s right.

[@JLJ2626]

I didn't think it until this episode, but the reaction I had to seeing Din return... I think he is my all time favourite SW character!

[@brucesnow7125]

Wouldn't blame you, he is a wonderful character

[@ChrisDodges123]

I'm starting to think that too. Right next to Luke.

[@Generalphoenix8438]

I can honestly say this epesode was not what expected and I love it. The dark saber has such history which is still shrouded in mystery. The naboo starfighter is actually my favourite starfighter in star wars and I would want one slightly modified. Mainly the colour to black and chrome. I hope he keeps the fighter and we can all know who is going on that droid cockpit.

[@garyleavens885]

It wasn't the episode I was expecting, but it was the one I needed.

[@Irish37]

They did so many wonderful things with music in this episode. While they were re-building the N-1 Starfighter, there were these little disjointed snippets of Mando's theme, referring to how broken and lonely and without purpose he is without Grogu and having been cast out by his Mandalorian covert. Then when the fighter was completed, a solo cello plays his theme in full, heartbreakingly beautifully, to indicate that he is starting to heal a little bit.

[@ThomasCorp]

When Mando called the N-1 starfighter “a pile of junk” I took that so personally that I yelled at the tv, “How DARE you, Sir! Does the prequel era mean NOTHING to you?! So uncivilized.”

[@andrewevers2420]

I wholly agree with you on this, but I'm curious if it's because it's true or because of nostalgia feels. And if it's nostalgia how will I feel about the sequel Trilogy in 20 years?

[@ThomasCorp]

@@andrewevers2420 In answer to is it true or nostalgia, probably both, though I think it leans towards being true. As to the sequel trilogy, I am curious twenty years from now what the opinions will be, time will tell.

[@Strife49c]

That ship belongs in a museum!! 😆 I'm glad to see it flying again

[@ecyor0]

As a fan of the N-1 Starfighter, this episode made my entire week.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

@@andrewevers2420 Sequel era sucks. There is nothing in it which isn't a hyperbolised version on OT stuff. There is casino planet and it's gross. Prequels spawned 7 seasons of the Clone Wars, while Resistance show died after second season.

[@DGKenpachi]

7:42 I love how we can’t see his reaction due to the mask yet we know how he’s feeling.

[@SpiralSine6]

Literally everyone coming to watch a new Boba Fett episode: “Hey look everyone, it’s Mando!”

[@12chapin]

He’s Mando no more, he’ll go by Din now. 😄

[@madelinegarber7860]

Lol exactlyctly. I loved everyone’s almost universal excitement when Din showed up.

[@rawkmode6315]

Yes, there is a ton of stuff in The Clone Wars and Rebels that connect to both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Honestly, Rebels is the direct sequel to The Clone Wars, and The Mandalorian/TBOBF are the direct sequel of Rebels. The Book of Boba Fett is essentially season 14 of Dave Filoni's ongoing Star Wars story.

[@robert_bbiii]

I love how they are connected but everything stands on its own. You can watch one and it tells you everything you need to know. One of the ways to have a show stand alone but be part of something greater.

[@shamsham1229]

I think it’s a bit unfair to say it’s all Dave Filoni’s plan, give Favreau and the other writers some credit lol

[@rawkmode6315]

@@shamsham1229 I'm not giving Filoni all the credit, what I'm saying is that this is an extension to a side of Star Wars that he's responsible for. Obviously Favreau is having a huge impact by the way he and other writers are adding to the Filoniverse through The Mandalorian and TBOBF.

[@DedricSilva]

Not to mention, Dave and Favreau are bringing characters from the comics and novels.

[@jediclonekag13]

I was absolutely ecstatic and definitely freaking out with seeing Din Djarin and the legendary Darksaber again in this episode. Also, seeing him fix, modify, and pilot a N-1 starfighter was absolutely incredible, especially when he said "wizard" after the test flight. I like to thank the lovely Bryce Dallas Howard for directing yet another Star Wars masterpiece.

[@dannybob42]

I mean you can't lock out Ming-Na Wen, she finds a way

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Bryce Dallas Howard is shaping up to be one of the best directors there is for these types of stories. She's the only one that managed to make an AT-ST sincerely terrifying...where before they were just a dumb joke.

[@gerstelb]

She’s directing a remake of Flight of the Navigator…and now I’m actually starting to be interested in it.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

@@gerstelb Indeed.

[@xiongrey19]

I want desperately for Din Djarin to say to the Death Watch peeps that he has nothing to prove to them. That he can uphold Mandalorian ideals while also being a good bounty hunting father to his foundling. After meeting Mandalorian royalty, Mandalorian outsiders like Boba, and the extremity of the Death Watch that he was raised him, surely he realizes that being a "Mandalorian" is more than what one person says it is. What's funny is that all the different groups have different ideas. Death Watch says Bo Katan isn't a Mandalorian cause her helmet is often off but yet puts more credence in Boba because he's the son of a foundling, Bo Katan regard Death Watch as Mandalorians because a lot of them are Mandalorian born but seem to delegitimize Boba because he's the clone son of a foundling that didn't grow up on Mandalore. No one can quite agree... even if all of them are quite similar in very Mandalorian ways.

[@JBWinter]

Din is technically The Mandalor; he needs to accept that and figure out he's the one that decides what makes a Mandalorian now

[@thedoctor4327]

I started following this channel because of your Doctor Who (one of my sci fi loves) reactions and I’m glad I stuck around for your Star Wars (my main sci fi (well “space opera”) love) reactions. It’s been a blast seeing your Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett reactions as I watch them myself s and reliving The Clone Wars via your first time viewing. Here’s to a good end of the season (series?) and to all your future Star Wars reactions. This is The Way 🙂

[@firecat4529]

The stuff about the Dark Saber with Tar Vizsla and Bo-Katan get explained in Rebels more, so I hope you'll watch that too, after Clone Wars.

[@ronweber1402]

The Armourer almost definitely made Grogu a beskar mail shirt. You could see the open rings in the forging montage.

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

The robot with two legs that nearly got eaten by the rodent and that was helping with the projections is a BD type droid. We first saw one of those, specifically BD-1 in Jedi Fallen Order, the game that came out a few years ago. BD-1 is the 3rd best droid in all of Star Wars, with only R2-D2 and C3PO above because BD-1 is essential to the Story of that game, not just a cute side character.

[@lucasdolding6924]

You disrespect Chopper and he'll come after you.

[@PandoraNYC1]

I think the reason why Mando was given a royal starfighter instead of a gun ship that can carry passengers / cargo, is that he's no longer a "hunter". He inadvertently stepped into the role of father when he rescued Grogu from the Empire. He may have inadvertently stepped into the role of leader by defeating Moff Gideon and picking up the Darksaber. Now on this mission to regain his place in the covert, Din may inadvertently step into the role of savior of the whole of Mandalor. Having a starfighter will do well in his new role of father / defender.

[@JBWinter]

As The Mandalor, Din is definitely royalty now, making it a very fitting ship for him

[@llamalianna]

Your reaction to seeing Din at the beginning was so me lololol

[@SgtSplatter782]

Piece of trivia. That's ANAKIN'S N-1 from the Phantom Menace. You have to zoom in but the reg code under the cockpit matches.

[@aboyandhisdog2251]

Never clicked on a video faster 🤣 after seeing this episode all I could think about was how you would react. Can't wait to see 🔥🤗

[@hollibean5007]

I was so looking forward to your reaction to this one .Its my favourite so far, Ive missed Mando SO much. Thanks for sharing .

[@DanFDTR]

To answer one of your questions without spoiling, yes there is more shown of the darksaber and Mandalorian lore in both future episodes of Clone Wars that you haven't seen yet as well is in Rebels.

I don't think anyone was expecting to see a whole Ep of Mando! We kinda figured that Boba would get din djarin some way...But..WOW! A whole Freaking ep of Mano..and his travels....WOW!!!! And Mando's new ship...BAD-ASS!!!!

[@sealionstudios8597]

Anyone else catch that the younger X-Wing pilot was the actor who played Luke in the finale of Mando season 2?

[@Scott_Burton]

2:01 me: "Cold it is then." About Jawas... one sourcebook, I can't remember which, from the Star Wars Role Playing Game, indicated Jawas are literally rodents, just in case that information might be of use to someone, somewhere.

[@johannesbowers7467]

Din Djarin reeeeally needs to sign up for TSA precheck.... If the Razor Crest was his workvan then the starfighter is his Hyabusa superbike, with NOS. Among all of the fan service nods in this episode, Is one that may have been missed was the reference to the original Superman movie (Clark v Train = Mando v Starliner) If you were wondering where your Boba Fett relevance was in this episode, the Armorer spoke of the prophecy that the mythosaur would rise up and restore the glory of Mandalore.... Now who do we know who uses THAT as their Sigil? Here are some of the physics of lightsabers: 1. lightsaber blades are not weightless they are made of plasma, plasma is a state of matter, matter has mass. 2. Lightsaber blades are not static, the plasma is in motion from the emitter out to its calculated shape and back to the collection ring. Essentially it is a plasma chainsaw constantly in motion at an extreme rate of speed. It is this mass in motion that generates gyroscopic effects very different from a normal or even vibroblade. 3. In addition to the unnatural gyroscopic effect in hand there is also the explosive knockback generated when the lightsaber is actively cutting an object, flash-vaporizing matter in contact with the blade, unskilled wielders will actually bounce the blade rather than follow through for clean cuts. 4. further complicating things is the intense magnetic field used to shape and contain the lightsaber blade, making it difficult to maintain in contact with another blade or resistant/shielded items. Is it can skip, skitter, or even kickback like a chainsaw blade pressed against a steel plate. Another important thing about lightsabers and lightsaber crystals is they do NOT use an optical model and lenses, It is more like the quartz crystals in a radio, "TUNING" the arc of plasma making up the blade to a specific Wavelength (thickness), Amplitude (length), and Frequency (color/pitch) defining its stable shape. A single crystal establishes ls a FIXED shape. Dual crystal arrays allow alteration to EITHER length or thickness. Triple crystal arrays allow alteration of BOTH.

[@lindaouellette6656]

Clicked so fast…lol, loved this episode.

[@Tigerfeuer]

This was the best Episode of Boba Fett after the other 4 parts.I missed "The Mandalorian" so much and now he got his own show in Boba Fett. This is advertising for "The Mandalorian" Season 3 and a good start for something new. I am looking forward to more stories from the STARWARS Universe. Greetings from Germany and very good Movie from you.... Bernd

[@rigelcummins1460]

"Screw you guys, I'm gonna go make my own Mandalore, with strippers and blackjack!!"

Fun Fact: Amy Sedaris could emulate Jawa speech before she was cast in the Mandalorian! :D

[@ramdelure]

Crazy, also she participanted in a Disney animated show

[@lagnok]

This was a GREAT episode of the Mandalorian.

[@Mark_E_M]

Seeing actual footage of The Purge was just like getting to see footage of The Timewar in Day of the Doctor!

[@kenXtripleI]

Looked a lot like a Terminator scene

[@eanjamesmogg9488]

Look who the Director is 😱 wow! 👍

[@gregharker1600]

The old X-Wing pilot is played by an actor that played the father on the Canadian show "Kim's Convenience" The actor that played his son on that show is the actor now playing Marvel's Shang-Chi.

[@robert_bbiii]

Everyone this episode "I wonder if we will see Mando this episode, a cameo at least. . . . . Well I guess we did"

[@vynnyn5489]

Mando... when someone asks you if you ever removed your helmet, you say NO! 😂

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

I just DIED when she said, "I'm working on me right now." lol

[@UncleMilo]

Clone Wars and Rebels will certainly add to the history.

[@madelinegarber7860]

This was just an episode of the Mandalorian and I didn’t even care. It had everything you could want from an episode like this. Din wielding the dark saber, a good scene with his covert and the armorer, and an awesome ship building and flyingng sequence straight out of Mavarik. I find it incredibly endearing that Din is both a mod head and a total flyboy at heart. I have a soft spot for flyboys. I felt so bad for him this episode. It could not have been clearer that he was really hurting without Grogu and feeling lost. And he has this weapon with a huge amount of significance that he doesn’t want, struggles to wield, and doesn’t fully understand. And then his clan, hdll his family, expells him for removing his helmet for a very good reason. My heart aked for him by the end. I think Fennec recruiting him came at the best timse. And the characters in the next episode. Bryce Dallas Howard is a genius! You’re exstatic reactions to everything Din did was literally me. I love him so much!!!

[@lindaouellette6656]

I’m guessing Grogu made a little impression on Mando.

[@timmooney7528]

Nice teaser to hold us over til next season. The old astromech bay looks small for a passenger (except maybe a small one.)

[@Longshanks1690]

When I said I wanted a crossover with Halo and Star Wars, I was more thinking "Master Chief joins Delta Squad," but y'know what... I'll take manufactured ring worlds existing in Star Wars.

[@johannesbowers7467]

They already exist in Star Wars. Ever been to the shipyards of Kuat?

[@migbarr3806]

This was The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 0.

[@Etrangier]

Your fan reactions are definitely the best for me :)

[@zazoreal5536]

The ship is a sign that Mando will leave bounty hunting behind for bigger more important things.

[@lietdune3187]

I was up early this morning and watched the episode before the kids were up for school. I am expecting that level of excitement when River Song makes an appearance. < head phone volume guardedly down>

[@thereturningshadow]

Grogu's gift is Beskar chain mail.

[@marcoponce2487]

I subscribed because I’ve really enjoyed your Stars Wars reviews. Loved your joy and reactions to this episode.

[@firecat4529]

7:14 A droid like this also shows up in Rebels. 8:13 And a droid like this also shows up in the game "Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order". I can recommend checking both of these things out.

[@1c3sly13]

Peli is the only person that could say she dated a Jawa and I'd totally believe it. Lol

How hot does that forge have to be melt something that resists blasters and light sabres

[@JediPhoenix1976]

"Is this the best episode ever?!" Ehhhh, wait until Episode 6 and then ask that...🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewevers2420]

Great reaction, I'll be looking forward to theory crafting but I have to say this first and foremost. I LOVE the sweater you are wearing Miss.

[@suecollins9618]

Are there different Jawa groups similar like the Tuscan raiders? The Jawas mando met over on his series did one strip of a job on the Razor Crest...

[@echobase1648]

Mando should be flying business class...but BC was probably booked full! 😃

[@leonlacroix2638]

I heard the reason the dark saber may appear heavy at times was due to being made with dark matter.

[@joeg6478]

Maybe becuz the darksaber was originally created as a Jedi weapon, wielding it at its full potential requires training by an actual Jedi

[@boomataco]

I think if he still does bounties with this ship it'll be like heads in a duffel bag. Or if he carbon freezes them. Maybe they have like a Star wars Uber that will pick them up or something LOL

[@lyingbastard]

"I'm hoping we might see Mando in this episode..." Gee Howdy did your wish come true there!

[@asteven8]

While this is a slight detour, this sets up season 3 of The Mandalorian perfectly. He's going to see Grogu, learn to wield the dark saber, and maybe venture to Mandalore to be cleansed in the waters below the mines. I love it because I was worried that last season would be the last we see of Din/Mando. As long as there is a great story to tell with him, I'm there. Now I want to learn more about the Mandalorians.

[@jposton86]

I'm pretty sure the cryogenic density combustion booster the jawas brought back to Mando was a nod to the piece of junk Han used in the trash compactor scene in A New Hope.

[@DanSolo871]

John and Dave are doing a great job dropping Easter eggs for Original trilogy and Prequel trilogy fans. I know most fans are extremely disappointed with how Eps VII-IX turned out, but it does appear that there's an opportunity to make these shows a prequel to those movies in a "Better Call Saul" prequel to "Breaking Bad." Perhaps, if the stories are well written, it will help improve them.

[@kevinfhaney]

We All did got excited I have spoken

[@firecat4529]

11:35 I think that's the same place from Episode I.

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

That's Anakin's old ship from the naboo

[@ninboy01]

Din needs to learn how to use a lightsaber. When he delivers the beskar chainmail to Grogu, maybe he can learn a few pointers at Luke's Jedi temple.

[@ListerDavid]

An Naboo N1 hot rod! 😍I think I’ve just twigged what it is for Grogu It’s the Knob from the Crest on a chain for him to wear!

[@jurgendenederlandse2449]

You show your best look with Star Wars movies! Always gorgeous, Seska! Star Wars writer.

[@liamr4117]

I’ve been waiting all day! Can’t wait to see what you think about this one!

[@JAYWALKER1000]

Now, just what could Mando put in that droid pod?????

[@ClintBandito]

You joke, but this was Indeed a great premiere to season 3 of The Mandalorian

[@DarkMatterLuigi]

Fun fact: That tiny droid is a BD droid the same type of droid that Cal Kestus (butchered last name probably) has in the game Jedi Fallen Order, I don't think it's BD-1 but maybe BD-2? This just makes it all the much closer to maybe seeing Cal in live action for a future show? Maybe possibly?!

[@dalehenrickson6243]

A bounties head does not take up to much room, lol

[@franciscoR.]

He bought the Nubian Starship to go find Grogu not to bounty hunt.

[@DoctorWhoBookClub]

Great review! I hope you continue the Star Wars journey after you’re done with Clone Wars, with The Bad Batch & Star Wars Rebels, as both continue the story from Clone Wars to The Mandalorian & Boba Fett.

[@adrianburchell8075]

I loved the appearance of the BD droid, makes me want to replay Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order again. About Din's gift for Grogu, supposedly Jedi don't own possessions? Will Grogu keep it?

[@0saintclark0]

They don't keep possessions but they have clothes which is essentially what armour is. It looks to me like a teeny little beskar grogu helmet.

[@dayanna901]

- Have you ever removed your helmet? - nnnNNoOOoOoOoo?????

[@SayGahTaah]

And mandos new ship is anakins old one from when he took down the Droid army by himself in episode 1 😏

[@skits_3d824]

I said the same thing like where is he suppose to put his bounties and WHERE is he suppose to sleep, eat, and go bathroom on long journeys? That's why I think he's getting two ships one for speed and another for power

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

He'd need an awfully big ship...at least 4 times the size of the 'Crest.

Very on brand for Din to accidentally become the main character on someone else's show.
