As a father, the most moving scene was when Luke says, "The Galaxy is a dangerous place. I will teach you how to protect yourself".

[@VadersRage]

And with echo's of our own fathers saying "Pass on what you have learned." 😁

[@asilduin4594]

I love the shirt! 😁 Dave Filoni KILLED this episode! Honestly Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Jon Favreau are making the best Star Wars content right now!

[@Raving]

This was masterful film making. The pace was not hectic. It was methodical and slow yet you feel that things are starting to spin out of control in the coming war with the Pikes. The showdown between Cobb and Bane was a masterpiece. The tension was palpable. I had my heart race, my throat tighten up. The contempt and disdain that dripped from every word that Bane spat from his mouth was blood curdling. I was watching this episode with my daughter and son in law. When the nerve of the deputy was about to break all three of us were saying, "Don't do it. Don't do it." Out loud. That's how deeply this show had drawn us in. My son in law and daughter are not Star Wars fans. They just fell in love with this series. Even not knowing who Cad Bane is, they knew Cobb and the deputy were overmatched.

[@cybermystg]

amen to that. You have spoken.

[@shugaroony]

@@Raving His cinematography is fantastic in his episodes too. The man needs a big budget movie trilogy now, he's ready.

[@KjartanAndersen]

I am getting a sneaky suspicion that they are secret jedi

[@JohnnyZ716]

The way Luke looked so dam good, even in movement and speaking. They have to give us a Luke series. Seeing what they did here, showed me it can be done.

[@marklatham1414]

Definitely and even if it isn't perfect, the storytelling is so good you can easily overlook it.

[@mtndewwalker]

The new trilogy with Rey isnt cannon no more. so no old luke anymore

[@kanek2534]

It could be-but also, just consider the amount of effort that would take. I would wager that just the few scenes we had in this episode took a lot of time and planning. I can only imagine what a whole series would require! Still, it opens so many possibilities.

[@Tsarmanderi]

It's hard though. It's very hard to capture emotions as well as with actual actors.

[@kanek2534]

@@Tsarmanderi True, that as well. With Luke, it seems to work cause it just so happens he's a zen-like monk whose calm demeanor is easier to translate visually. Not a lot of laughter or angry outbursts.

[@ToonRaider]

I like how Boba Fett doesn't talk when they're gathered around. I noticed some fans were demanding he talk less. He talked less here and some fans are now saying he should have been talking instead of Fennec. It's a lose-lose situation because so many people feel ownership over Boba Fett, but I quite like how they've handled him. And Cad Bane mentioning him as ruthless when we the audience know the growth Boba has been through shows that they didn't "retcon" our Boba, he still exists. He's just changed. It's in-character for Boba because he is growing as a character. Love it.

[@shykur]

Absolutely agree!! 💯

[@Izzy8u]

Lots of people were “expecting” cold blooded bounty hunter Boba, we were presented with left for dead character arc becoming a boss Boba. I like it and I’m here for it! Boss Boba LFG

[@soumyajoypal9359]

That can also be a foreshafowing of boba fett for the last episode.Full on rage mode Boba

[@richardnorwood9845]

I guess since Fennec is second in command then she does the talking because she told Boba she knew where to look so she might have it all planed out.

[@karlluigi1987]

the main problem is not that he doesn't talk, the problem is that, he bare got a screen time in his own show, and when he finally was shown, he didn't even have a line.

[@JohnnyZ716]

I'd like to hope that in Ahsoka's series we will get the 1st encounter with Luke and that backstory. Perhaps in a flashback. As soon as Luke asked her if he will ever see her again and she said perhaps, pretty much solidified for me that they will meet up again

[@DwillGame]

“This episode satisfies me more than the 3 sequel films combined” EXACTLY how I felt. Don’t worry your reaction was like all of us. I would have liked Bossk and Dengar to show up with Bane.

[@jamesgreen6171]

Yes this episode did a lot to redeem what they did to luke's legacy that they destroyed in the sequels by making him a old hermit who gave up the ways of the jedi because he attempted to kill his nephew which resulted in luke being indirectly responsible for the deaths of his students, and to many fans myself included i don't care how much they wanted to subvert expectations that was not the luke that we love from the original trilogy

[@poldiklapzuba9898]

Mandalorian is the best SW product, it's even better than original trilogy.

[@gabrielp9646]

How can you people be so DUMB to not realize that his Luke is completely, and 100% inspired by the sequel trilogy..?? They intentionally showcased how he´s a TERRIBLE teacher (and why what we see in Episode 8 happened) like 3 times in this episode.

Ahsoka made peace with Anakin already She let go in "The world between worlds" episode of Star Wars rebels Also Ahsoka was probably communicating with yoda After the events of Malachor in Star Wars rebels when she had to go into hiding... Yoda would've gave her an up-to-date talk It's almost a guarantee that we will see Anakin's force ghost sometime

Tarre Vizsla's heart was settled; very emotionally stable otherwise he wouldn't have been able to create the Darksaber. It may seem cruel, but Grogu is too unfocused and needs to commit because he cannot continue like this.

[@darthpryce]

Cob Vanth, Vanth refrigeration that's hilarious 😂

[@hughedwards6942]

I think that Episode 5 and 6 were meant to “hold us over” until December when Mando season 3 is released. I wonder if it is possible that TBOBF was intended to be 6 episodes? With Covid, script rewrites and Pascal’s HBO commitments, there is a two YEAR gap when I believe Disney only intended a one year gap, or so, between MANDO S3 and S4 with TBOBF bridging the gap.

[@nello1591]

I've heard TBOBF described as Mando season 2.5, a stepping stone of a series intended to building up story points and characters so we can go head first into Mando season 3, Ahsoka etc.

[@phillyjackson45]

This episode was just a rollercoaster of emotions, Cobb Vanth, Grogu, young Luke standing side by side with live action Ashoka, live action CAD FUCKING BANE. Disney doing excellent world building for universes and giving Star Wars fans treats

[@SolusArmatura]

It definitely wouldn't have happened if it was only up to Disney. I thank Dave Filoni for everything he does for this franchise.

[@mtndewwalker]

The new trilogy with Rey isnt cannon no more. so no old luke anymore

[@Jumpoable]

WOW. They topped the last episode with Grogu, Artoo, JEDIS & BANE?!?!?! O____o Also, Luke was doing the same flips & forest parkour routine with Grogu on his back reliving his time with his master Yoda... :( I am TOTALLY FINE that it was Boba Fett's day off again. LOL. & DEFINITELY GLAD that it was Max Rebo's day off at the Cantina. :)

[@Overmillion]

Call Grogu a child all you want... He's still older than everyone in the show xD

[@timmerred5]

I was nine when Star Wars came out. It’s so I interesting to see how younger generations, especially those that weren’t even alive then, have come to love it so much.

[@W2CToys]

Man what a great episode. Don't think it's fan service at all but just a continuation of one big story post ROTJ. LOVED seeing Ahsoka, Luke, Mando and Grogu all in one scene!!! That CGI on Mark Hamill's face was just SOOO much better. Thank you Dave!!!!!!!! OMG OMG ! ALL THE FEELS

"Cobb Vanth, Vanth Refrigeration." I LOST it!! 🤣🤣

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

The Book of Boba Fett/ Mandalorian season 3 was good up until now. This episode is some of the best Star Wars I have ever watched. We all felt the same as you. I am pretty sure every reaction video will be exactly the same as this one. I have watched it 5 times so far and my reaction every time is "I can't believe how good Luke looks!"

[@jpjm4385]

I swear I had the same reaction. Figure appears far off in the distance. "No way that can't be who I think it is." Figure gets closer, hat is noticable. "No way, are they really about being Cad Bane into this." Excitement grows, more features become noticeable. "Holy **** that's definitely Cad Bane". Close up shot Cad speaks, freakout ensues....

[@dianizzmc426]

This girl REAAAALLY represents me

[@TheOddGaming1]

This is where the fun begins! But on a serious note, this was a great episode. Hopefully the finale is even greater! And in the finale I hope Boba is front and center this time lol Maybe we'll see Luke and Grogu again next episode if Grogu does decide to go for the chainmail, and maybe they'll even help battle off the Pykes 👀

[@frosty6960]

Since the start of mandalorian ive been like "nah, they cant top this" ... Im all theirs now.

[@crimsonchickenyt3195]

If Grogu fought the Pykes then he would just use Jedi Mind control to get the Pykes to betray their leader lol

[@TaxmanTV]

The choice at the end was frustrating but if you think about from the Jedi way it makes sense. Each item represented two distinct paths that could not be followed at the same time. So each item was a conduit to Grogu's chosen destiny.

[@JoeArce210]

This was a wholesome episode. Seeing Ahsoka and Luke together on screen was amazing, two different generations from different eras in Star Wars history, Dave Filoni gave us what we wanted. Second, it makes total sense that the Syndicate would hire Bane, like in Bad Batch when the Kaminoans hired him to capture Omega and destroying Hunter like he did Cobb

[@Irish37]

"I came all this way......he's right THERE!......" Shatters my heart all over again.

[@mandocalrissian4968]

Right on Cue...As soon as she mention She has so many Questions,, Asoka said "I know u do" Perfect jump cut.

[@blockedblock5203]

12:38 "He's like 5, Luke." Isn't Grogu like 50 or something?

Haha yes, but since Grogu's species ages slower he's still technically a child. It gets confusing haha - Melissa

[@khelatar]

Bane's shot looks like it just glances Vanth's shoulder. He's alive for sure.

A truly epic episode. Beyond getting to see a proper Jedi training that the sequels so lacked and getting to enjoy the Luke we all love this gave us Ashoka as well. I was freaking out as much as you. I also enjoy the silence of Boba. Cobb is winged and hurt but not dead! And getting to see my favorite CW character outside of Ashoka in Cad Bane was awesome! His lighter face is fine as to me shows signs of his having aged. He tension his arrival brings was fantastic and has me longing for Wed.

[@pirobot668beta]

To answer Luke, Grogu will speak his first word: "Both!" Din Djarin had lots of 'Dad' moments', but the purest one was when he handed the gift to Ahsoka and asked her "Make sure he is protected". He didn't say how or from what...he trusted her and Luke to know what is best. You're right, Din has become polite and considerate recently...

Filoni has unquestionably become the MASTER!!! Beyond giving us one of the most incredible and satisfying 45 mins of Star Wars ever, he planted the seeds for so many more stories in this universe horizontally and vertically timewise. To crib analysis from someone else, we need to think of the Mando, Boba and coming Ahsoka shows as one giant chunk of the Star Wars saga, as was the intent when all these shows were announced a few years ago...so it is perfectly fine with me that we have Mando/Grogu/Ahsoka in a Boba story, just as we had Boba in Mando and both will probably show up in Ahsoka. Let's not get caught up on the title. New favorite Luke line, "Get back up, ALWAYS get back up." Thanks for sharing your reaction, I felt the same!!!
