[@roguechevelle]

Thank you, your one of the few commenters that I've seen bring this up. I have believed that the Book of Boba Fett is like 1 season limited mini series. As you say an offshoot of The Mandalorian with no plans other to tell us about how Boba survived and to set up some events for the Mandalorian show. I hope to see Boba as someone that either occasionally returns to the Mandalorian series like a trusted friend when sh*t hits the fan or becomes an integral part of the crew for the show moving forward.

Din Djarin AND the Armorer are back!!!! TOO MUCH AWESOMENESS!!!! I missed them both so damn much. I loved how she managed to tell most of the story of the Darksaber for people that didn’t watch Rebels. It is still surprising that even though he still has a strong attachment to the Children Of The Watch that he didn’t stay with or go back to Bo Katan, especially after he removed his helmet. At that point I would’ve just gone back to Bo Katan. And as much as I will always miss the Razor Crest this supped up N1 Naboo Starfighter is DEFINITELY a worthy replacement. Like losing your SUV in an accident but you get a sweet 66’ corvette, sure there’s only room for 2 but damn does it have speed. Also Lucasfilm better give Bryce Dallas Howard her own Star Wars movie to direct! The super cool nod to Jurassic Park when Peli Motto is attacked by the womprat just made me grin ear to ear.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@@tbcalex o okay my mistake I wasn’t sure

[@humandisaster18]

My feeling is that we've had two full seasons to get attached to Din Djarin and Grogu and the Mandalorians in general. So it's understandable that an episode that brings back a fan favorite and delves into Mandalorian lore is going to resonate strongly with fans. I don't think loving this episode diminishes the characterizations of Boba or Fennec or the quality of their stories. 😊

[@madelinegarber7860]

Lol I love how instead of swaggering up to his clan mates like a boss he limps up and collapses at their feet from a self inflicted injury. There’s something symbolic in that. Din lost everything this episode if you think about it. His clan cast him out and he doesn’t have Grogu anymore. It couldn’t be clearer that he misses him. I bet he’s feeling super lost and a little depressed right now. All he has is a title he didn’t want and probably doesn’t feel he deserves, and a weapon he doesn’t understand and struggles to use. A jedi can help him saber train, but Boba and Fennick might be able to help him find his path again. Or start to help him. Lol I appreciated that LOTR reference. Maybe he’ll get his own chain mail like Frodo’s but made from bescar. Though I wondered if maybe it was a new ball toy?

[@ronweber1402]

Guaranteed they were making Grogu a beskar mail shirt because you saw a few of the rings but they hadn't been joined and closed yet.

[@DC3328]

I don't think the armorer would be down to make a toy from beskar

[@brianlong2334]

He also lost the spear which to me is crazy dumb to right it out that quickly as without it he probably wouldn't have got the dark-sabor, but they obviously want him to have the blade exclusively but still a shame.

[@pepleatherlab3872]

I get the creative impression that when Din visits Grogu, Luke may provide some insight as to Din's internal misalignment regarding the force (use of the Dark Blade.) Perhaps even Mando may benefit from a slight degree of Jedi focus training. ~Guess we'll see.

[@HenshinHeroesMedia]

Don't want din to be a jedi. Kinda want a force to rival the jedi in fighting. Even maul vs that viszla guy showed mandalorians can hold their own

[@madelinegarber7860]

I totally agree. He could use a few days of jedi training. Not in the force obviously, but the mental balance and discipline aspect of it. Also learning to channel his emotions better. The armorer can teach him the forms a bit, but he needs a jedi for the mental aspect. Din doesn’t quite understand that a light saber is much more than a laser sword. And he’s also probably feeling pretty undeserving of it at the moment. But his allies can help him with that.

[@BrettDel]

Maybe Grogu will show him THE WAY not Luke

[@insertsomethingfuni2617]

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.

[@madelinegarber7860]

This episode was basically just an episode of Mando and I don’t even care. I’m so happy and it was so satisfying. This was everything good about Mando s1 and 2 and the prequels and rebels all wrapped up in a glorious bundle. And Grogu next episode!!! Let’s gooo!! I think he’ll only visit then go back to Boba. Din I mean. He won’t bring Grogu into a battle unnecessarily. I think he made him a new ball toy on a chain. Maybe it’ll eventually become part of his light saber. I’d love to see him become a Mandalorion jedi. It was also great to see the armorer and Paaz Viszla again. I didn’t really realize how coltish their covert was until she started explaining about Bokatan and the way. But I also liked learning more about their creed. That their views on attachment were the opposite to the jedi. And that ship building montage was cool if a bit long. Same with the flying sequence. Now this is pod racing! I definitely think him going to Mandalor will be a big arc in s3 as well as him trying to redeem himself while trying to find his own path. He had good reason for taking off his helmet those times. Oh and we can’t forget Mando’s two iconic lines! That made my heart happy. That beginning felt like the pilot. Though he struggled real hard with the dark saber. I loved seeing him train. But he needs a jedi’s help not another Mando’s. Particularly with the mental aspect which is mostly foreign to Din since he’s not force sensitive and never even heard of jedi until pretty recently in the timeline. I can’t wait to see him reunite with Grogu! I hope Luke is ok with it. But there has to be a season 2 now. Not enough time to wrap everything up. But this story needed to be told. No Star Wars show gets me hyped like Mando.

[@Samuel2oh9]

I’m totally convinced this is the original mando season 3 episode 1 and they decided to add it to this show last minute

[@ateam404]

I loved it but I know they wouldn't just show Boba up like that in his own series. I'm holding on to the notion that everything some kind of way connected back or affects Boba. I would love to see Grogu again but I don't think they are going to do it. Not after all that effort to make us feel ok with him giving him to Luke. I'm wondering how Mando got away from Bo Katan without her trying to get that saber from him. The shop lady acted like she didn't send him a message at first. How Fennac know he was there?

You seem to have the "now or never" child mentality going on. She now has a direct providence on the saber. She doesn't need/want to jump head first into a confrontation until she's 100% sure she can win. As for grogu and luke, they're not killing off their money maker and we all know what happens to Luke's academy so yeah, you're definitely getting more grogu.

[@michaelm.1947]

Given the tight nature of storytelling in a movie format, there's not a lot of extra time, so everything has a reason for happening. It's just a matter of whether people are paying attention (like you) or not. ;)

[@realburglazofficial2613]

I reckon that when Boba has his ‘generals’ around him and is planning his war on the Pykes, Din will suggest using the Jawas to sabotage the Pykes’ vehicles. It would be an angle that no one would have thought of. The Jawas exist on Tatooine in such a way that they are barely noticed unless you have a direct reason to interact with them. The Pykes waking up one morning to a huge attack, then finding that _all_ of their vehicles have been stripped of parts would just be awesome!

"Using layers of Beskar steel, you will forge a blade in your signature style to meet the following parameters. It must be between 12 and 14 inches, and have a through tang. Once you have completed your blades, they will be tested for strength in a Stormtrooper helmet chop, and for sharpness in a tauntaun hide slice."

[@kent7384]

Nikki has the best comments: “Gotta keep busy.” 🤣🤣🤣

[@LukeMaynard]

I didn't even notice it on the first watch-through, but when the Armorer says "sadly, it only exists in Legends," that's such a clever dig at all the classic Star Wars books and previous lore being shunted off into the "Legends" alternative canon that was retconned out. I swear, the people working on this stuff are thinking so deeply about it now, and I am 100% here for it.

[@TheAcheronblues]

“Sentimental Music” What if that was Grogu’s theme? Like Din is hearing it through the force?

[@rockrollangel1972]

FYI the xwing pilot is the same guy who filled in as Luke in Mandalorian Max Lloyd-Jones

[@chiricahua91]

Seeing Din flying through Begger's Canyon reminded me of what Quigon Gin said about podracing. Very dangerous and very fast. You must have Jedi reflexes.

[@haitiankid9456]

At some point I had to check and make sure I wasn't accidentally watching an Episode of The Mandalorian

[@surunitemiakanni-oye4346]

Your ideas and exposition regarding the possibilities of the BOBF and the Mandalorian tie-in plot is probably one of the best on KZbin so far. Great video and keep up the good work.

[@Quixotic1018]

Grogu is just in Jedi camp. Din is in Mando camp. Meanwhile Boba just wants to make Mos Espa drug free.

[@tringuyen7519]

And to answer Steven’s question, yes, we’re going to see Grogu and Luke Skywalker on the Book of Bobba Fett. We’re being setup to see Grogu in beskar chain mail. Maybe Luke can teach Mando how to wield the dark saber.

[@rominamartinez5544]

I just want to see those smiles on the first minute. I was screaming when I saw him enter and then I wanted to hug the guy, prepare him a tea and give him a blanket XD!

[@castortroy22]

I was screaming by myself when he pulled out the dark saber in that battle!! So amazing

[@accutronitisthe2nd95]

Grogu is getting "Chain Mail" armor...

[@VanArchon]

The Armorer is a part of Death Watch which are basically Mandalorian purity zealots, so to say he's no longer a Mandalorian is really just to say in Death Watch's eyes he is not.

[@discolullaby5777]

Fuck Death Watch they ain’t ride or die.

[@my5head]

Yeah, I've been wondering if the armorer's horns are from serving under Maul.

[@VanArchon]

@@my5head They do look a bit like a Zabrak's horns now that you mention it. That would certainly be an interesting twist.

[@NickM_FirstofHisName]

So, they're like Jehovah witnesses of Mandalore? 😂

[@VanArchon]

@@NickM_FirstofHisName I mean, you're not totally wrong. Lol

[@mellowenglishgal]

I LOVED every moment of this episode. Mando, Pelli, reference to Grogu, the music, the armour, the Darksaber, Mando calling a tiny droid “little guy” - so much growth! Interesting to see Mando thinking things over - Bo Katan and the lifestyle of the Jedi, and how he differs from them. Also, how he might not completely believe the same things he used to…

[@lynettebranch4463]

You can feel how torn he is about what it means to be a Mandolorian. His world has been destroyed in more ways than one. Since Jedi don't allow relationships, I wonder what will happen if he finds out where Grogu is and is denied the chance to see him.

[@mellowenglishgal]

@@lynettebranch4463 He’s definitely questioning everything. I’d love Luke to turn around and say, “The old rules are ridiculous - the Empire would still be going strong if not for the relationships I built with Han and Leila!” Actually address something we’ve been screaming at our screens since the first prequel film came out!

[@richardjohnson2446]

Guys you missed the fact that he blasts past the fence and ramp that Anakin’s podracer ends up crashing through and up in the canyon. Such a cool nod to the past!

[@Curien247]

Mando on side quest to retrieve the Darksaber from the Tatooine TSA.

[@mathewhudson7649]

The thing that gets you in the feels sometimes is the honor 💪🏼 between characters

[@numbron803]

I think the friend Din mentions in the end is NOT Grogu.. it wouldn't really make sense for it to be him at this point in the story...Since they are in Tatooine I think it makes more sense if it's Cobb Vanth and maybe they'll have him join up in the fight. It would be pretty cool since Vanth once wore Boba's armor and him meeting the REAL Boba Fett would probably be a pretty cool scene.

[@mangalvnam2010]

Remember the metal ball Grogu loved so much to play with? I think Mando ordered one identical made of beskar to give him as a gift...

[@danielsiriphongs]

Great video! Never thought about Din asking Luke for help on Tatooine.

[@hellowhat890]

13:40 This scene makes me miss Alan Tudyk as K-2S0. A stolen and reprogrammed imperial droid.

[@LifeisANovel]

He warmed up to druids too "thanks Lil guy" lol.

[@richardjohnson9543]

It's like the Darksaber has a weak version of Mjolnir's enchantment, but you can make yourself worthy with clarity of thought and learning to become one with the blade

[@CatHarington]

He has literally the coolest looking ship now. I gotta find a high quality model of it to built...

[@sjaxs30]

That little droid is BD-1 omg I love the fallen order game they even did a call back from the game on how he helps u thru holograms

[@stephaniez9811]

Dude, Bryce Dallas Howard mentioned all the reaction videos she watched for this episode on her IG. Your photo was included in her post with a shout out !!!!!! Amazing! ❤️🙌🏻

[@Vipre-]

I didn't notice he was already struggling with the DS in the first fight until watching the reviews. Great detail. My bet is Grogu is getting a chain shirt. Pretty sure I saw the armorer making rings.

[@darthdeluxe_1]

Greetings from Germany... I watch the current episode first, and then your reaction afterwards. They're always the best. I watch you because I understand your English well and because you are passionate about it. From laughing to crying. You two are also the only film/series reviewers I'm watching. It's just perfect for both of you. Keep it up..... And the current episode is a Blast 🤯🤯🤯

[@shadows6411]

Best episode by far. The sound of the star fighter flying through the sky was music to my ears. Makes me so excited for season 3 of the Mandolorian.

[@fasstaerke]

with the mando and darksaber lore we actually also got a lot of general lightsaber lore and why it usually takes a highly trained jedi to wield one, int he end the darksaber is the weapon of a jedi. I loved that so much, its often quite to easy how others than jedi fight with those weapons. I loved how they portayed the heaviness of the saber. also, how good is BDH? she should get her oen SW show, seems like she kind of gets the core of SW.

[@authorofone]

It’s also said that the Darksaber works differently to normal lightsabers. Typical lightsabers fire power through the crystal, the Darksaber fires it from the crystal, which means it has much more of a connection to the wielder. Your average person could learn to use a lightsaber after a few months easily. Not to expert levels, but there are Sith Assassins who weren’t sensitive and still massacred Jedi.

[@kwanarchive]

Mando's going to be the dad that sees his son on weekends and gives him a joyride on his new motor.

[@erikhopkins9548]

The Prophecy that Armorer said about the Mythosaur rising I think is going to be represented in Mandalorian season 3

[@andrewjacksonbr]

That Bowie hoodie from Labyrinth...tears. 🙏

[@ketchup016]

When you think about it, if Mando had just shown up, either he would have told them what he had been doing, or they'd have to put it into season 3 as some kind of flashback, so this way we get to see it now. I like that they use being on a streaming service to their advantage, making episodes as long or short as they want and dropping this into the middle of BoBF.

[@The-Secret-Door]

What an episode! Easily the best of the series so far. I wonder if Mando will go through with his redemption in the end - his tribe is down to just two other Mandalorian extremists. It's so weird that Boba Fett is so soft, petting puppies and everything and Mando is the gunslinger that Fett used to be. It must be deliberate.

[@cduone]

Love that Shaker Engine Airbox. An ode to the Muscle Car Era.

[@emilyjacobson14]

That droid that helped din re-build the ship is a BD unit, which is a little nod to the game "Fallen Order" which you should definitely play if you haven't already.

[@danielruiz8259]

They already played the game, it's in their game channel

[@dianecraig1119]

The scene with Mando putting his weapons into that trunk reminded me of the scene in Mad Max Thunderdome where Mel Gibson is stacking his weapons on a counter so he can enter, and the stack keeps getting taller and taller!

[@markm1261]

Such a good story for a story that did not show the main character great talk and insight for you both. I enjoy your connection with the force.

[@rodolfohernandez3303]

The Man, The Legend, MANDO is back

[@GothKaida]

love how in rebels, sabine talks about the “weight” of the saber and now with the Mandalorian it’s canon.

[@alfredstimoli2590]

Not all Mandalorians are as strict about the helmet removal. In fact most aren't, just the rabid fanatics. He doesn't need to redeem himself and he's better off not being with them.

[@JBWinter]

I think at least part of that scene was the Armorer realizing Din was never going to Mandalor on his own, despite the Darksaber making him very important in retaking it. She gave him a reason to go he'd accept

[@walteredgar2700]

Agree! He doesn’t need the covert. But as Boba said, everyone needs a tribe. This is what is being set up, and why they took a whole episode to explain Don’s current state.

[@TheGlutn]

Theory: Luke is going to teach Mando how to wield the Dark Saber.

[@Barada73]

I didn’t realize I missed seeing Mando so much until he appeared in this episode. I was so happy to see him again that I didn’t even care if Boba Fett showed up or not and I’ve been really happy with the show so far.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

right? there's just something special about Din
