@@luuska8657 you also need to make a connection with the kyber crystal, that is why Din Djarin feels like its incredibly heavy, because he lacks that connection. He needs to open himself to the crystal, and as the connection grows stronger then it will feel lighter for him.

For the darksaber is a special case.

[@Mek_Alenes]

@@aacm1259 Not just to connect with the crystal, but with himself. Remember the episode when Sabine trained with Kanan how to use the darksaber, how Kanan pushed her to aknowledge that she build a weapon designed to kill Mandalorians for the Empire? I think Din must come to peace with himself, with the fact that he wants to be with Grogu, with the fact that he begins to question the fanatic ways of the Children of the Watch and the fact that he has claim to the title of Mand'alor.

[@beppo2814]

In the early days (i don't know if it's canon) supposedly the theory was that lightsaber blades were constantly spinning, like a gyroscope. The longer it spun, the harder and harder the centrifugal force became, eventually making it almost impossible to hold steady unless you were trained. Obviously the Darksaber blade doesn't spin but maybe the insides do. Or maybe they just trashed that entire idea.

Along with it being the Boonta Eve podracing course, it is also Begger's canyon, which is what Luke references when doing the death star trench run, so a bit of a double reference there. "We'll go at it full throttle. It'll be just like Begger's canyon back home" - Luke.

Massive props to Bryce Dallas Howard. She directed a stunning episode of pure Star Wars goodness. Mesmerizing from beginning to end.

[@howitzer551]

I think Bendu hit the nail on the head, while Din is not a full-on space gear head, he does have a lot of mechanical expertise and an appreciation for starships. We kind of see it when he and Kuiil fix the razorcrest. I also feel that little nods to stuff like that is a big part of Star Wars. Lots of characters have little nods to their past and hobbies to flesh them out quick without a huge lore dump. The best ones I can think of is languages. Many major Star Wars characters have picked up multiple languages as a nod to their past. EDIT: Side note I don't know whether they will go this route but like you said this is major push towards Din going to Mandalore in Mandalorian season 3.

[@RockstaRawr7710]

@@ketchup016 Pretty sure Sabine is in Ahsoka - or can even pop up before the show -. And if she is, pretty sure Ahsoka would let Sabine handle that training, as it is far more personnal for Sabine than it is for her. It's passing down the teaching of Kanan - Basically her surrogate dad - unto another of her people. I don't think Ahsoka would train Din if Sabine is around.

[@OptionZero]

That first scene was Bryce Dallas Howard waking up and CHOOSING VIOLENCE. In Mando s1 she got to play with an AT-ST, in s2 she got to play wirh Bo Katan, and it was fun as hell. They give her the damn Darksaber and she just goes HAM, straightup decapitation Five years post ROTJ, the X-wing should still be a contemporary starfighter, and that restored N-1 left them in the damn dust. amazing All that and they crammed in some Trials Of Thr Darksaber lore, just mindbogglingly awesome

[@thanatosstorm]

Thought the X-wing by this timeframe was actually less-than-contemporary, behind the E-wing and the upcoming T-70 series? Would make sense since this is roughly 3-5 ABY, and the E-wing was already in development.

[@thanatosstorm]

But also, yeah, Bryce just brought all the heat with this first opening scene and everything else.

[@Blazecap]

While I do find it weird Din doesn’t just say “I’m ruler now and I say you can take off your helmet and still be Mandalorian.” He still clearly has a lot to learn. Loved how The Armorer still has this authority and presence with her. When she asks If Din’s taken off his helmet she second asks again and the second time it comes off as “Don’t make me ask again”.

[@larniieplayz6285]

Although she does anyway

[@Blazecap]

@@larniieplayz6285 thanks slightly reworded

[@EmptyBrewsky]

Keep in mind, Din doesn't care about being Mandalore at this moment. Hell the first chance he got he tried to give the Dark Saber to Bo Katan. So it makes sense in his head, he still has to listen to the Armorer. Eventually I think he will settle into his role if he does indeed choose to go that route. But first I think he'll end up training with Luke or Ahsoka on how to properly wield the Dark Saber, since he's banned from the Covert. In season 3.

I like how much of an old school muscle car feel they have the N1. It even feels like crap at slow speeds like most high powered muscle cars/races cars.

[@ashscott6068]

I think the armourer knows something we don't know. She straight-up let Mando walk out of there with the dark sabre, with his armour, with the chain mail she forged for Grogu, and basically told him to get his shiny ass to the Beskar mines. So the only punishment for breaking the creed, is that you're not forced to hang around with those two anymore? All she does is talk about the past, forge stuff, explain the plot, and sit with her back to the door. He's not missing much.

"The mythosaur will rise up to herald a new age of mandalore." Just like Fett will ride the Rancor. I swear on all I know about storytelling... Mando will ride a mythosaur in the next three years.

Just thought. The gift for grogu is the hilt for his first light saber?

[@justjester5682]

this episode is kind of a remake for the first two episodes of the mandalorian. -bounty, warm or cold, cut in half -payment then going to a covert -the armorer makes something for him -gets into a fight with Paz and the helmet question -new job to find grogu -fix his ship because of jawas there are probably a few more parallels

[@Aurilion44]

I really like how Armorer was pretty respectful and understanding actually. She didn't admonish, curse or attack him. She had to proclaim Din apostate because of her creed and codex, but she didn't dismiss Din's question and sent him on another mission which may very well mean reclaimation of their homeland. If both she and Paz truly believed that Din was no longer Mando or unworthy then they would have tried to apprehend or kill him to take back his Beskar armour and darksaber since according to their Creed, only Mandos can use them. This tells much about both Armorer and Paz and their relation to Din

[@trazanobanane]

a subtle favorite for me was the reference to terminator judgement day when we saw Mandalore get destroyed and the droids walking through the rubble with the scout droids above

[@bretr7327]

This episode was by far the best in the series. Seeing Din with the dark saber, something made of beskar was made for Grogu, BD-1, and the phantom menace nostalgia was all so much to take in. Need more please and thank you.

Totally in agreement about Madam Garsa. She knows a lot more than she’s been letting on. Someone has been protecting her Sanctuary cantina/casino, and letting her prosper as a channel of information in Mos Espa. The question is, is she loyal exclusively to them? Or to whomever is in control, and protects her interests? I’m thinking that she might even have direct contact with Crimson Dawn, or Q’ira herself…

[@Fi_Sci_]

This episode was pretty Wizard. Loved all how the references to Material such as Fallen order and phantom menace. By the looks of it Grogu’s beskar gift will be Chainmail, which makes a lot of sense for a Jedi to use since armor would restrain them.

[@catherinesanchez1185]

Also, chainmail is much lighter for someone as tiny as he is and Jedi do a lot of fancy moves. Rigid armor could be an issue. Din would have observed that neither of the two Jedi he's seen wear armor. The smaller you are the quicker and more flexible you need to be in a fight. I actually speculated to myself about this after reading so many people talking about Grogu having armor with a helmut. Chainmail is perfect!!

We needed that. I cried when we see the Night of a Thousand Tears. So sad seeing Sundari blow up and all those helmets. I wonder how the Empire could have done that. Gauntlet fighters are unstoppable, and the Duchess was destroyed. The back part of the Naboo ship is totally going to be Grogu’s car seat! To be fair, I never liked Razor Crest as much as most. I like ships with speed and more of a tough weapons armament. A Mandalorian gauntlet star fighter for example Hope to see Din and Bo Katan more in season 3 of mando. They share similar paths now.

It’s the best to watch the episode and then watch this video. I literally reacted the same way as you and was so excited!

I love all the stories behind what happened in mandalore , the armorer's thoughts on gideon, but I miss boba fett. STILL THE ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES!
