[@halamander1112]

Armorer: "You are a Mandalorian no more." Din: "Fine, I'll just take over Boba Fett's show then."

[@spyrofrost9158]

I'll start my own Mandalorian covert. With blackjack! And hookers!

[@bencebotye3904]

"Hey, Mando!" (raise blaster) "Don't call me that! No more!" "Than what did should I call you? You never give me your name!" "Nether to you!" "Okay, fair point... I can't argue with that!" Seriously, in the Mandalorian nobody called by name, only episodes later. Like everybody playing colorful but otherwise vague archetypes.

[@ralph1270]

LOL!!!!

[@scottmorgan2813]

This was a fantastic episode. I didn't realize how much I missed Mando. LOL

Facts

[@jackson857]

Fun Fact: The actor for the younger X-Wing pilot referred to as Lieutenant is actually the stand in for Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 8.

[@MaiiOrduna]

That's pretty cool

[@jamesway]

Guessed it. He looks like young Mark Hamill.

[@paulcourtwright1415]

I honestly thought it was Sebastian Stan at first. It’s cool they gave that guy a speaking role.

[@GavinFox2028]

The galaxy’s single Dad has RETURNED 🔥🔥🔥

[@70briareos]

The cleanliness of the Mods' moped speeder bikes is equivalent to those poor kids who have blinged out customized sports cars that they lavish their attention on. They may not have much, but their cars are their prized possession and they'd keep their vehicles in pristine condition.

[@clarradactyl7791]

exaaaactly, you described it perfectly. i dated a guy who, while didn’t have a lot of income, he had a blinged out car that he worked super hard on and took care of it as if it was his own precious child - it was a gorgeous shiny customized sporty car!

Imagine that mando goes and sees grogu and Luke sees that he needs traing with a lightsaber and trains mando.....this is the way

That would be,....,,....,. Yes. We need that.

[@pranjoshi4323]

Man they pulled a kingpin by just starting the episode with the person we knew was in the show instead of something else. Loved Bryce Dallas Howard's work! Really hope the mandalorian season 3 has longer episodes because I think this was my favourite episode from both the shows. 😂

[@nickdouglas736]

This and the Heiress are two of the best episodes so far imo She really knows how to do Star Wars in a way that's nostalgic without being cheesy and pretty clever with the exihibition. Hope she'll do a few more. I don't particulary like Disney as a company but i have to be honest, making this basically a Mando S3 teaser that delivers a bit of background and ties into Bobas story is pretty clever. The only issue I had was that he seemed to casual about finding Grogu like does he know where he is because I don't think Luke would be that easy to find even for Din.

[@_Schwartz]

@@nickdouglas736 would that little droid we meet know where Luke is...

[@itsbravo2916]

Did the same with the ahsoka episode just seems to be the way the shows handles these type of episodes and I can't complain 😂

[@Jdubayou]

This episode is literally some of my favorite Star Wars content ever. Bryce Dallas Howard has done a phenomenal job with all of her Star Wars episodes.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Dave Filoni LOVES LOTR also. It's TOTALLY gonna be a Beskar vest for Grogu, like a Mithril Vest, isn't it?

[@morpheusT68]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Anarkey]

I'm not sure if Bryce intentionally used the Halo-like world on purpose due to her connection to the Halo foundation, a charity organization for children in need. The moment I saw that world, I was like, is that freaking Halo??? But, Bryce Dallas Howard is definitely one of the directors I'm gonna anticipate in Star Wars. All her episodes have been on point!

[@inefekt]

the concept of ring worlds existed way before Halo

[@AndrewMcColl]

@@inefekt but this might be the first time it's been used in a Star Wars movie or TV show.

[@Chunthoor]

At first I thought they might be Kuat Drive Yards, but they are double rings.

[@TheRyujinLP]

It's a reference to a sci-fi book series form the 70's called Ring World, in fact some of the shots of it were a homage to some of the book covers.

So excited for your reaction to Mandalorian season 3 episode 1.

[@lwilliams2461]

Bryce Dallas Howard did a masterful job with this episode!!

[@lykoscortes7969]

The gift for Grogu must be a chain with the glowing ball from the Razor Crest spaceship...

[@lifeasafanpodcast9529]

Bryce Dallas Howard has grown so much as a director ... I really liked Kevin t last week and her episode here ..with filoni we probably will get another Luke appearance ... I'm really hoping for some Danny Trejo rancor training with boba . I think Cobb vanth could show up in episode 7 only for the Mando connection ...

[@nathanmanning5219]

Yes, I hope we see a lot more Bryce Dallas Howard directed episodes in Mando S3

[@Joseph-jx2sc]

isn’t there only 6 episodes??

[@jackson857]

This wasn't the book of Boba Fett, hell, he wasn't even in the episode. This was The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1.

[@Kamina.D.Fierce]

That's what is unfortunate about it. It upstaged Boba in his own show. I love the ep, but you get what I mean.

[@lonewolf604]

@@Kamina.D.Fierce I thought the same. The best ep of Boba Fett has no Boba in it!

[@leveltwotrading9657]

now all i want to see Mando holding Grogu like Bucky and Rocket in Infinity War

[@pranjoshi4323]

Sir, you cannot get on this flight unless you checkin your damn darksaber😂

[@patricksullivan2261]

Bryce Dallas Howard absolutely crushed this episode. I don't know how much Star Wars work she's going to have for the next year, she's directing Flight of the Navigator and given her attention to detail she's going to be zeroed in on that. That having been said, if she is interested, I would offer Howard her own Star Wars or Marvel series to run if I was Disney. I think she can pull it off.

[@jefforceone]

Now I know what the plus in Disney stands for violent content that was savage the way he cut that guy in half

[@MindofMike35]

I loved every single second of this episode. Mando is such a bad ass!!!

[@Brazbit]

Regarding shiny mods in the previous episode: While replacement body parts were common in the Star Wars Universe (Luke, Vader, etc...) Droid enhancements were viewed very poorly, and this is why you did not see many obvious cyborgs in Star Wars despite droids and advanced prosthetics being common. So, it only makes sense that a counterculture would embrace making them extremely obvious, and in a world of dirty, worn, gritty electronics how better to make your rebellion against social norms stand out than glowing lights and shiny chrome paint jobs, you don't stand out by being grungy in such a world.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Din Djarin AND the Blacksmith are back baby!!! 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. Also this episode has convinced me that Bryce Dallas Howard needs to be given her own Star Wars movie to direct!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Photohog4]

Theories: A. When the Armorer told Din he was a "Mandalorian no more" it had 2 meanings. 1) He was no longer part of their group/religion/sect. And 2) He was no longer just a Mandalorian. That his past time with Grogu and the experiences he's going to have with him and others in the future...are going to make him more. Like part Mandalorian and part Jedi. Or part Mandalorian creed and some other evolved version of that. B. We haven't seen/heard the last of Moff Gideon. When Din told the Armorer what happened and that he was going to be tried, convicted and punished by the New Republic....the Armorer said, "We shall see." As if to say she didn't believe or "see" that as happening. C. Pelli Motto (Amy's character) is going to be off-world in the future. She specifically said, she never had been. And given everything that's coming up with Boba & the Pykes and her now friendship with Din....she's part of the crew now. She could experience fallout from the war and have to leave Tatooine...or maybe she's part of helping to revive Mandalore....which brings me to my next theory. D. Din....with Grogu by his side is going to return to Mandalore and help restore that planet. Particularly, the waters under the mines that he needs to reintegrate into the creed. Grogu is Force sensitive and could definitely revitalize those waters. Or at least reintegration going to be his intent. Whether that goal remains consistent or it evolves over time, remains to be seen. But I think a return to Mandalore is the focus of S3. E. Finally, I don't think we're going to see Mando with Grogu in the next eppy of TBOBF. Think about it...he has to find him. It's not like they're pen pals and staying in touch. Din's not a Jedi, he can't sense Grogu's location. He'd have to search for and find him and we don't have time for that. I think we'll pick back up with Boba and Fennec and their battle with the Pykes and all the people she's recruited to help and in the final episode, Din will show up at a crucial point and assist. Possibly with Grogu or possibly not. I Think S3 of the Mandalorian we'll see in flashback how they reunited and what that experience was. Maybe he get some Jedi training or tips from Luke. Maybe he just watch Luke training Grogu. I think he will have picked up some things and be better with the saber but not fully trained with it yet. But again, I don't think we'll see that on screen until S3 of The Mandalorian.

[@NatashaSalgado]

Now Mando will need classes from Luke or Sabine or even Ahsoka about how to wield the Dark Saber and let it flow like Kanan did with Sabine.

[@mo_musashi_284]

Luke will sense & notice that saber when Mando arrives for sure.

[@taylorhine2962]

@@mo_musashi_284 he might take it off him, you never know

[@hanziggy6862]

I love Wendy's jacket. The reaction of both of your faces seeing Mando was priceless. So iconic that even just seeing Mando's silhouette behind the curtain makes us immediately recognize him and make us swoon. I thought the exact same thing in that I thought that lady mechanic was joking making the droids think she was being eaten. At first, when I saw that starfighter she was putting together for Mando, I initially thought it was a podracer too, LOL! Then, I wondered if it was 1 of the sleek ships featured in Phantom Menace, but the proportion seemed way too small. Then I thought it was the starship child Anakin flew. Because of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Bryce Dallas Howard has quickly become 1 of my favorite directors now having directed some of my favorite episodes of both shows. It's like the quality and pacing and Star Wars-iness feel of the show just goes exponentially way up in episodes she directs. But I too also noticed it is a bit oddly weird that my favorite episode of The Book of Boba Fett so far does not even have Boba Fett in it, LOL! I wonder if now Mando will now realize he may have more in common with Bo-Katan and he will team up with her rather than go through the whole ritual of redemption thing and she will teach him her ways and from now on, we may see him without his helmet. I am so happy we got to see Mando being a bounty hunter in this episode. LOL..next episode, you guys should drink a boba (tea) while watching Boba (Fett), so you can have a Boba on Boba Wednesday.

wanting to know Grogu is safe when he is with Luke he is the safest he could ever be

[@unknown-1470]

Probably it is cool to see darth grogu.

[@mo_musashi_284]

You would always think like that if you were a dad.

[@Superion74]

It's just an excuse for Mando to see Grogu because he misses his son.

[@justme4998]

what do you mean hes no longer a mandalorian? says who? the outcast cult leader whos down to a following of one? he has the darksaber! he'll learn to use it. and he'll find the magic water or whatever she said. LOVED this episode!

[@benschroeder4036]

He's still Mandalorian. His former little sect of what, two other "Mandalorians" might view him that way, but Bo Katan and her partner took their helmets off all the time. All we have here is a philosophical and semantic debate on whether or not he's Mandalorian. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the galaxy will still see him as one. I'm pretty sure Visla and the forger will be in the minority on this one.

[@Tjoppy]

"Is it you can't take off your Mando helmet, or you can't show your face? 'Cause there is a difference. Look, I'm just sayin', we're all the same. Everybody's got their line they don't cross until things get messy." Din should have said that to the female Mandalorian.

[@TheChris0813]

Cad Bane would be awesome; so cool seeing Mando use the Dark Saber.

[@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.

[@ThePulley23]

Yo!!! This was such an awesome episode! I lost my mind when Mando took over the whole show! Also I loved the Easter eggs! Seeing BD-1 from Starwars Jedi fallen order and a Naboo starfighter ship from episode 1 was so cool!

[@jonathanmurray834]

It’s love that it’s heavy because it’s energy. The Jedi connect with the crystal inside, hence their masterful use of the blade. It’s such good detailed lore to have non force users swing it like a bat instead of a skilled duelist

[@michaelhoward7058]

Got to get A LOT of old school feels in this one. LOVED that we got more into Mandalorian culture, Jin's first challenge for the Darksaber, and scenes of The Purge of Mandalore. Also...Mando's rebuild of the old Naboo Starfighter, and souping it up, and taking a run in Beggar's Canyon. And we FINALLY find out after all this time that Jawas are furry underneath those robes. And WHO in their right mind would DATE a Jawa? Bryce Dallas Howard has certainly taken cues from her father in the director's chair. Excellent Episode. Again....LOVE your guys' reactions!

Indeed!

[@paulanderson771]

I was so happy the episode filled in Mando's story. The dark saber and the fact that he removed his helmet were two big deals left hanging last season. I'm still curious how Bo katan felt when he left with the saber. I think season 3 is going to be him returning to Mandalore and trying to find the living waters.

[@clarradactyl7791]

i LOVED this episode. also, who knew that a little knapsack in the shape of grogu’s head could make me cry 😂😭

[@nathanmanning5219]

Really cool bit of the Beggars Canyon scene, they show the broken barrier that Anakin plows through to ramp up during the podrace, it's still sitting there at the bottom of the ramp in pieces.

[@Billy01113]

They could give us Din & Grogu in an after credit scene in next episode and then let him return, just in time, to Tatooine in the last episode.

[@A_VeryIdea]

Such a great episode! Although it is kind of a bad look that this show's (so far) best episode doesn't feature the titular character at all.

[@daecimvs]

Last two episodes will be all for Boba. I'm sure he will shine again

[@chakinabox]

Maybe, but I see it this way. Although this is an episode of the series, the fact that this week's episode was all about our boy Din Djarin makes it feel more like an episode of a new season of The Mandalorian. I don't know, to me saying that this episode is the best so far is more like comparing apples to oranges. It's just 1 orange that got lumped together with 6 other apples. Yeah I enjoyed THE absolute HELL out of it, but to me it's not fair to compare it with everything else so far.

This was a fabulous set-up for the 3rd season of Mando, whetting our appetite since it has been soooo long! Love seeing badass Din kicking ass even when struggling with the saber. BD Howard does great world building and homages to others movies and books. I’ve always appreciated that they show Mando being vulnerable, not invincible. Great references to past movies and wonderful humor. Peli is a treat! Glad mid-life crisis Din got his “ sports car”, clearly not great for bounty hunting but advantageous for his path ahead to Mandalore. Enjoyed your review.

[@sadadokis2709]

He wants a little armor. At first I was a bit sad that the spear would be lost but the amor is so much better. And the package is shaped like Grogus head. And Mando even has a little place for him in his new Starfighter😭 I can't deal with this......But Jawas, seriously? Peli Motto has a weird taste 😂

[@hellowhat890]

I love the used starship salesman talk when the N-1 came onscreen. I WANTED TO HEAR THE TALK ABOUT THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC ERA SHIP STORY. It was perfection.

[@cduone]

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

[@djnevahwen]

It’s already been confirmed by Disney that Filoni co wrote the next episode with Favreau so yes Filoni’s episode is next week (cause it’s also been confirmed by Disney that Filoni directed an episode as well, so since he co wrote the next episode it seems inevitable he directed it as well). And I agree with Dustin, I think Cad Bane is making his live action debut next week and it makes sense that Filoni is the guy to do it (since Cad is one of his creations alongside Ahsoka and since he was the one to bring Ahsoka to life on screen I think he’s going to do the same with Cad Bane). Also I think there’s going to be a lot of big reveals in the next episode leading into the finale, I think next week’s episode is going to reveal the true main antagonist of the show. Like what Marvel did with Hawkeye, the Tracksuit Mafia were the main threat of the show until Kingpin was revealed as the true main antagonist I think this show will follow Hawkeye’s suit and reveal that the Pykes are answering to another crime syndicate and that syndicate happens to be Crimson Dawn and if Crimson Dawn shows up that means it’s possible that Emilia Clarke is coming back as Qi’ra (since she’s the new leader of Crimson Dawn). So the last 2 episodes are going to get super crazy.

I love the reaction the two of you had at the end. I'm confident your reaction is Book of Boba Fett Fan wide (me included). Remember, Ahsoka Tano episode was singular and jam packed from start to end. Who knows. She and Bo-Katan Kryze might stop in to say hi. They're getting the band back together. Yepee! Excellent reaction. Outstanding show. Thanks for the shout out. SD

[@generalgrievous696]

I feel it's sorta fair that we get a mini Mandalorian episode in this season since Boba Fett pretty much got the equivalent of a episode of his own in the last season of Mando. Mandos struggle with the dark saber makes you appreciate the years of training Jedi devote to handle a lightsaber properly. In skilled hands it has no equal but to a untrained person it can cause more harm. I like the call back when din said It felt heavier and heavier using it. In the original development of the lightsaber non force users found it much harder to wield. Also the n1 was a beauty probably one of my most favorite ship maybe more than the x wing but definitely tied for 1st place - Signed suckles

[@Webwra]

His struggle with the saber also connects to what Kanan explained to Sabine in Rebels when she first used the Darksaber. Esentially that when fighting with a lightsaber you are not swinging a normal weapon, but are directing a current of energy, that emotions and action feed this current and you have to respect it's strength.

[@spiderfingers86]

On this episode from The Book of Boba Fett Din Djarin returns to kick some ass

[@AsherTheAwesomeONE]

“You can’t have the spear, Beskar should only be used as armor, not a weapon.” ... “Now, Shall I craft some whistling birds for you instead” sure! This is the way. 😣(not to mention the Dark Saber is made of Beskar) The best episode of the series so far… too bad it had nothing to do with the Book Of Boba. This just makes me want the Mandalorian season 3 over “BOB.” This just shows off how dirty they are doing Boba.

[@ADGZone]

The Armorer just doesn't like spears

[@BlairLSK]

A weird episode, just because of its timing. I loved it. It starts with a bang. Seeds loads of material for later; the Dark Saber, his bond with Grogu, leaving his former house/family to maybe link up with other Mandalorians. There may be an unspoken theme of 'you can only get so far without a tribe'. But I was always thinking that they were eating into Boba Fett's story. ... When Mando says he'll help Boba for free, it tells me that Boba and Fennec have already gone out and recruited their (not for free) muscle.

[@SevenSelah]

With only two episodes left in BoBF this can pull Mando out of the rest of BoBF because he is going to see Grogu. And Mando 2 will be about Mando and Grogu and Mando learning to wield the Dark Saber from Luke.

[@darthvader5532]

I'm really hoping that's what we get.

[@DemoDick1]

Way to catch the way Din covered his injury with the severed head. VERY perceptive. I wonder if that was a director’s choice or the actor came up with it on his own.

[@Snoeflekz]

I instantly thought of ”The Wheel” from one of the first story arcs of the original Marvel Star Wars comic. Published in 1978 (had to look it up).

This episode feels like a real Star Wars movie, and it's because of Bryce Dallas Howard. Hopefully Lucasfilm will give her a Star Wars movie to direct, same with Marvel Studios.

Naboo Starfighter...Awesome Anakin Flew one

[@70briareos]

The Darksaber getting heavier as you use it might be a call back to one of George Lucas's ideas when he was creating the lightsaber as a weapon. Originally Lucas wanted the lightsaber to be heavy to wield because of all that power it contains and produces. That's why only the highly trained Jedi can wield them because they have the right will and strength to do so.

[@pranjoshi4323]

I would've been totally fine with a baggage mix-up story

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I think the reason Jedi aren't always constantly burning themselves is that they use the Force to help redirect the saber away from them. They also forge a relationship with the Kyber Crystal I think I saw someone say. Mandalorians can't really do the former and they aren't really aware of the latter, so they're kinda at a disadvantage from the start.

[@jayp.9424]

Great reaction, guys. I loved how you wanted to see Grogu at the end LOL

[@richardjohnson9543]

Can't believe the Armourer was so hard-core as to cast Din out when there's only three of their sect left. And this raises another larger question: What exactly does the wielder of the Darksaber get to rule with Mandalor destroyed and only a handful of them remaining in the whole Galaxy? Bet Luke might be the one to give Din some tips on how to use the blade

I love that the hanger "security" system does nothing especially since we know Fennec Shand is super agile and a parkour expert. She probably just climbed to the roof and came in through the large open hangar roof. Me: Security system? What security system?? XD

This is the reaction video I've been waiting for ... Mind blown...

Now it could be pure grade nostalgia kicking in but I could swear I hear podracing noises as he's going through beggars canyon

[@BumpyBaluga]

Anyone else enjoy Chapter 1 of season 3 of Mando? Lol.. Bryce Dallas Howard never disappoints!!

[@fmgeclipse1011]

The end reminds me of when look leaves Han and the gang to see yoda die and says “I have to pay a visit to an old friend”

[@misst1078]

amazing episode and Wendy... I LOVE the jacket!

23:24 The same part that Han Solo used to brace the trash compactor in A New Hope

I like how this episode is basically the opening for Mandalorian Season 3. That BD Droid was the same droid Cal Cestis had in the Fallen Order video game, I'm not quite sure if they're actually THE same. That Halo colony and that club in it is like a mashup of Halo and Mass Effect universe and I love it! That Starfighter kinda reminds me of the Batmobile from The Batman, and customized version of something that has a crapload of engine power. If there's going to be a figure or model kit of that I'm preordering it Day 1. 🤣 Bryce Dallas Howard did such a fantastic job on this.

24:28 It's the very same track as the Boonta's Eve Pod Race in reverse, also the ramp gate is still busted.

Thanks, Wendy! Thanks, Dustin! 💥

[@romeorice583]

My $0.02 - Mando finds Grogu / he/Luke sense the power of the Dark Saber - they help Mando master it leading to Season 3 💥mind blown

[@thorinwoods2642]

Sabine and Bo Katan are still better at wielding the dark saber. Sabine was trained by Kanan how to use it which is better than a Mandalorian teacher unless they have experience with it.

[@RMDCollctve]

That was great 50 min trailer for Mandalorian season 3 haha

[@cardiac19]

Yah gotta remember at that time Lando was powered by Colt ‘45!

[@rolfthomas1080]

Love your jacket-I want one!
