[@nickdouglas736]

The Grogu luke story wasn't that unexpected after the last episode tho and they have to keep Asoka in the game somehow with her show coming up and all that. Cad turning up was just a matter of when rather than if, they need an Antagonist with reputation (who's already canon) and he makes the most sense. Like i've been waiting for him since the Pykes showed up, this is basically a Mafia-Western and he's like THE gunslinger in star wars (and probably the one who killed the Tuskens). I'm really looking forward to see if he and Fennec meet and how that goes down. Yodas saber was a bit of a surprise for me because I thought he lost it in the Senate fight with Palpatine but I guess ofc Luke has it now.

Grogu will live for 900 years. Let him spend 40-50 years with Din and then he can train as a Jedi. Besides Luke said he was remembering it more than he was learning it. Grogu probably just needs to do finals, throw his little cap in the air, and walk across the stage. Bam, bam, bam, and done. He can then avenge who ever kills his Armor-Daddy, take back the Dark Saber, and rule Mandalore for another 500+ years and then retire and go to Dagoba and live fat on all the frogs he wants.

That fuckin' deputy distracted Cobb. That split glance to the deputy made such a difference. I would like to see another stand off between Cobb and Cad in the future.

[@aBloodyMonk3y]

Two things: 1) There's no way that they just kill of Cobb like that. I can see him being wounded and unable to use his good shooting arm while the warning for him and the town is the dead deputy. Cad just wanted to give a solid warning to stay out of the Pyke's way. 2) I really believe that Luke wants Grogu to choose both or at least the chainmail and will give him the lightsaber. Luke has attachments out the WAZOO and I can see this being a total Jedi Mindgame to see where Grogu is at mentally. All in all this was a really fun episode. I'm really impressed with how the CGI for Luke has improved. Great reaction!

I'm hoping for the same. Maybe even a little similar to the (deleted) fake out test for Rey? (I know, invoking the sequels, BUT that was actually an interesting scene and should have stayed in, in my opinion!). That said I'm also kind of worried it's intended to be a kind of set up for WHY Luke's temple ultimately fails (and why he is so bitter/jaded) - because he tries to hard to cling to the old ways, when he should KNOW BETTER. (And I blame the sequels for forcing their hand that way.) I also wonder if Ahsoka's little 'trust your instincts' was her trying to nudge him in the right direction. Interestingly, in the last episode, I also wondered if the Armorer was also kind of subtly trying to nudge Din in the right direction too and also setting forth a test/quest for him.

[@cabbage8189]

Cad freaking Bane wow he looks so awesome in live action, of course Corey Burton brings the character to life with his iconic voice but honestly the physical actor (who I assume is most likely a stunt double) was surprisingly very accurate and faithful to how he was animated in both Clone Wars and Bad Batch, the actor both had to wear a bunch of layered clothing AND extensive prosthetics but was able to bring across just how ruthless and imposing Bane can be, the combination of that with Burton’s voice fully brings Cad to life and imo it worked practically perfectly

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION ALL DAY! THIS EPISODE MADE ME SCREAM! But to be real, seeing Ahsoka and Luke interact in live action made my brain explode. I do however hope that we get to see how they meet at some point and talk about Anakin. Luke looked WAY better! Hiring that deepfake guy definitely helped. However, there were a couple of times that his face and voice didn’t match. Also, those conversations Luke had with Grogu, shouldn’t he have already had those conversations? Why wait so long? I guess it’s for storytelling. Oh, and…..CAD…..BANE! Jay the way you sat back in your chair at 19:01 when you realized who it might be made me howl with laughter lol! Also…that Boba Fett cameo was pretty sweet…. ALSO ALSO, I can’t say enough of how amazing the music is.

There have been so many instances already where the sequel trilogy has been contradicted by 'The Mandalorian' + 'The Book of Boba Fett' that I doubt it's the same timeline. Heck, the sequel trilogy was so poorly managed that it managed to contradict itself multiple times.

[@erynnmurphy2996]

@@ro4eva Fair point, and I honestly don't much care for it, but the sequel trilogy can burn in a fire. Just give me Din and Boba and I'll be happy.

[@MrCharles7994]

There is a difference; Luke gave Grogu the choice knowing that Grogu's internal conflict would violate the rules of the Jedi eventually, as he'd either break his vows or be conflicted for the rest of his life...*if* he chooses to go with Mando. Luke can't know what the best choice for him is, only Grogu can. The Jedi didn't really give Anakin a choice; Luke tried to explain why the choice was needed, accepted Grogu's decision, and clearly taught Grogu a little bit of the force in the meantime, presumably enough to protect himself. On the other hand the Jedi code is still *complete* nonsense. If anything I wish we had a sequel trilogy that recognized that, and was instead focused on how the Jedi *and* Sith codes were both self-destructive and attempted a synthesis of them (and other force techniques), trying to stay true to the themes of star wars while engaging with the philosophies in a deeper way. Instead we get the *sentiment* that the past was broken, with no *substance* in the second film.

Last night, out of pure nostalgia, I was watching reactions to Mando S2 finale and I was thinking to myself "I remember that feeling, this episode made my whole week, what a great episode..." and then today I just got what is probably the most Star Wars character per episode ratio ever for a live action show. Just give Favreu and Filoni the freedom to do movies and let Disney just cash in. Do it!

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

This might be my favorite reaction - that weepy, dewy eyed look is EXACTLY the look I had through the first 20 or so minutes of this episode. The funny thing is I had made myself a cup of tea, and decided to make some of my Republic of Tea 'Mandalorian' themed tea (I bought myself the whole set for Christmas) and decided on the Luke+Grogu brand. It was perfect :) And at that moment when the screen just cut - almost anticlimactically - to Luke sitting there meditating I almost dropped the mug entirely and my eyes just completely filled with tears. My heart almost stopped seeing Luke and Ahsoka just standing there hanging out and I WANT MORE. I agree, I want that hour long talk about his father, lol. Hell, we know Hayden is around for Kenobi and Ahsoka, he should just drop by for tea ;) I think there are some fair criticisms to make of the focus of the show in general (I think Boba deserves his own arc/story which has now been sidelined) but so much of this made me so happy. I will say one thing that did NOT make me happy was the pain of watching Ahsoka and Luke repeat the mistakes of the old Jedi Order here. Ahsoka's musings on Grogu missing Din are so similar to the fears of the Council regarding Anakin missing his mother, and they went about it the wrong way. Obviously it's great that Luke is giving Grogu a choice but I'm very much a 'why not both' girl, and especially coming from somebody for whom balancing his attachments and the Jedi way saved the galaxy it's just...sigh. (And I get they kind of have to do this because they have to basically set up the new Academy for failure...it makes sense that Luke might try to fall back on re-emulating some ideal instead of trusting his own instincts, but it hurts to watch.) Funny thing is , when this show started, my big hope for a cameo was Qi'ra. And here we got Ahsoka, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth and Artoo. Oh,and Cin Dralig ;) How many Order 66 reenactments are we up to now?

'Space Avengers' is on point - Boba fett is bringing together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when he needed them to, to fight the battles that- wait wrong franchise :D Chapter 7 has gotta be everyone in Team Boba kicking some ass and being awesome

[@madelinegarber7860]

You guys’ reaction to Ahsoka was everything! And the music that played while Luke and Ahsoka talked was the same theme that played when Luke crooonched those dark troopers. A friend I think it’s called. Fitting. Here are the two ways I think it’ll go whether Grogu’s choice is revealed next episode or in Mando s3. One: he’ll choose the armor and reunite with Din maybe at the end of the episode or in Mando s3. Then he’ll be trained by Ezrah later. Maybe in the Ahsoka series. Or he’ll take the light saber and train for a while more while Din does his thing. Then he’ll have a force vision of Din in trouble like Luke did and go off to help him. I’d prefer he pick the armor, but I could live with either choice. But I need like 3 hours of Luke just training Grogu and others.

[@oBCHANo]

I think the way luke worded things reveals he wants Grogu to pick the armour in order to train him. Why would he want grogu to be detached from others.

[@madelinegarber7860]

I think he was just laying out the cards on the table.

[@jessesisson2955]

Man if Mando had actually told Ahsoka "I got a lightsaber. Suck on that, nerd"....I would have lost my shit...

[@Relleke]

I was waiting all morning to see your reactions to this! Never have I been more excited!

[@sheavaccaro5631]

Also, when Ashoka says to look “ so much like your father” I think she is referring to Grogu, how he has attachment and maybe he must walk a different path then the traditional Jedi, because Ashoka knows but Luke has to make the choice to let Grogu choose

[@TRPLD]

[@hanziggy6862]

Can you imagine we could actually get to see a live-action Fennec vs. Cad Bane fight, round 2? I can just imagine them having a conversation and Bane mentions Omega, prompting Boba to then ask Fennec later, who is Omega...then end scene cut to black.

[@Ghostfailure33object27]

I think that would be a good way of doing it. I want to see Omega in this show but it’s too soon. They have to carve out her story in Bad Batch just a bit more, but just a mention and a cut to black like you said would be a good, and also kinda funny.

Grogu has a red blanket in the flashback to Order 66 and maybe my high brain is linking things thematically that aren't meant to be linked, but it's worth noting that Din was wearing red when his parents hid him from certain death.

[@claran3616]

No no that’s good/traditional color symbolism! Good eye!

[@rontrezbeaugard8212]

Best Star Wars content since the OG trilogy We asked them to just “Do the thing” and they’ve delivered

[@Adriangabs]

I have a feeling Grogu will get both. Luke was testing his friendship with Din and I think his idea of a new Jedi Order would be not to abandon attachments because trying to choose between your loved ones and being a Jedi is what got Anakin in the first place.

[@takeitslowly3908]

I also think Luke would choose his family and friends over anything any day. I mean, that's literally how he saved the galaxy right? By choosing love for his father over anything. Imho this is Luke's way of testing Grogu's priorities and seeing where his heart truly lies.

[@BlackWind-rx5il]

There's unfortunately a giant 7 hours and a half of problems with your theory, called "sequel trilogy". As long as those are canon, Grogu isn't Luke's first student, that's Ben Solo and this Luke grows old to become "failure" Luke, who did everything following the old Jedi teachings. Which means Grogu chooses to go back to Mando and doesn't become a Jedi. The only way that doesn't happen is if current canon gets shattered, thus rendering the whole sequel trilogy non-canon or an alternate timeline. So this choice isn't just about Grogu, it might be pretty much about what is these series' main goal going forward: rewrite the future of Star Wars, or just telling stories in between the original series and the sequels, trying to give them context to retroactively make them better.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Adriangabs It wasn't the choosing between his loved ones and the Jedi that messed up Anakin. It was the failure of the Jedi to clearly explain that attachment was not wrong, but being a Jedi must have first place. Also the Jedi wrongly let others in power teach that any attachment was not to be on a personal level but "business like". Luke is going to teach Grogu that either he can be both a Mandalorian and a Jedi, or he can be a Jedi but to put his feelings for those he loves in it's proper place-second to his work as a Jedi.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

@@takeitslowly3908 No. Luke did not choose his father over anything. He simply behaved as a Jedi should-never giving up on someone who has strayed from the light side of the force.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

@@BlackWind-rx5il Asoka said Grogu would be Luke's first student. With such words, the "sequel trilogy" stopped being canon. Even before this, Luke's words, "talent without training is nothing" ending the sequel trilogy.

[@Oddlogical]

It seemed like every 5 minutes I was like "WHAT?" or "OH S***!" 😄 This episode had me broken. Jay's teary-eyed expression throughout was me in this episode! When Luke had Grogu in the backpack running around, I was crying hard. Tears running down both cheeks! So much good stuff! Love watching your react vids. It really is like watching with my friends on the couch!

[@voiceinthenoise3357]

Your reaction warmed my heart Luke forcing Grogu to choose makes sense because after witnessing the result of his father's fall into attachment, he's a purist. Wearing armour creates doubt in the mind of a fighter who trusts the force to guide them. Maybe there are exceptions, but surely it's fundamentally at odds with being a Jedi to wear armour? It hinders motion and fosters an overreliance on being protected from potentially fatal mistakes. See the video of someone trying to do a backflip using a safety mat - on the final attempt with the mat taken away, they succeed in doing the backflip.
