The Mandalorian | 2x8 Chapter 16: The Rescue - REACTION!

I don't even know what to write here, lol. But I think the reaction speaks for my lack of words right now. What a season finale! What did you all think? This is such a good time to be a Star Wars fan, I can't even! 😂

TFA was actually fine. Not great but good enough for a setup. No one was really pissed off. The real idiot here was Rian Johnson who was the catalyst in making it go downhill at lightspeed. Good director but not meant for this at all. He tries too hard to make a change when the movies needs is understanding. He was the one who butchered the character of Luke in TLJ. Everyone else after that have been doing their best to course correct all the inane decisions made in TLJ. They won't say but I'm pretty sure everyone in the business are just pissed off with him.

In 1977... I was 5 years old... It was in the summer. I remember waking up and my older brother and sister were so excited, they were getting ready to go somewhere... and I asked... "What's going on?" My brother said... "Get ready! We're going to the movies!!" I had NEVER been to see a movie, never experienced going to a theater and watching a film. So I got up, and my mom helped me get dressed... and I remember sitting down on my bed as she tied my shoes and I asked... "Mommy, what's gonna happen?" She said, "You'll see." So, we picked up a newspaper and got the showtimes. We got to the Northwest Theaters... and it was PACKED with people, kids everywhere... I was scared... there was a huge crowd of people. I held my mom and dads hand tight, I had never been or seen so many people in my life... Then we walked into the theater and my dad looked down at me and asked... "Do you want some popcorn and a soda?" I said, "They have that here?" He laughed and got me small popcorn and a medium soda to share. I will say this, that small popcorn was huge and so was the soda. I remember waiting in an area that was roped off... and the usher came out and he said... "We will start seating you all in a few minutes... AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!" (Sorry... shedding some tears right now as I remember.) My eyes widened and after a few minutes, we went in, my dad holding my soda and my mom holding my popcorn... I held my mom and dads hands so tight as we walked down a dark hall, I looked for my brother and sister and they were right behind me, my sister smiled at me, and my brother said... "This is gonna be awesome." I was scared, but excited... my FIRST MOVIE! We sat down right in the middle of the theater, it was packed, I could hear kids talking, laughing everyone was excited... then suddenly the curtain parted and I saw a "Big tv !!" I pointed and said to my dad. My mom said, "That's a movie screen." Then the lights went down... I sat forward in my seat and my mom sat me back, put the popcorn in my lap, and held my soda for me... Then I saw "Lucasfilm ltd"... I asked my mom... "Is this it?" She said... "Shhhh... just watch.".... then suddenly... "STAR WARS!!!" The music was so loud, my mouth dropped open...then the intro scrolled on the screen, my mother read it to me in a whisper, I leaned over to her to hear what she was saying... then... I saw the space ships... with lasers... my mouth dropped open again... then I saw C3PO, and R2D2...then... Vader... That day CHANGED my life forever... I will never forget it... sorry if this was long, but I just wanted to share that experience and how much Star Wars means to me, and I see all of us...

Luke is probably the bogeyman to the Imperials in the know. One X-Wing craft makes it to the first Death Star and blows it up with a single well placed missile. A few years later, that same X-Wing arrives at the Death Star 2, and it's sole living occupant enters the Emperor's Throne Room, faces down both the Emperor and Vader, and is the only one to walk out alive with the Death Star 2 being destroyed shortly after. To the ISB the Rebellion was a minor problem, crippled after the battle of Scarif before this one man showed up. Just one man taking apart entire groups of Stormtroopers, disappearing into thin air whenever they hunt him and evading even Vader, before resurfacing and dismantling the leadership of the Empire.

[@procrastinosaurus-rex5720]

There's a quote by Simon Pegg about geekdom, about how being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection, about proudly emoting rather than behaving like a supposed adult. I feel people spend so much of our time trying to play it cool, cosplaying the calm, collected, fully armed and operational battle adult, that taking that mask off is often unthinkable. That's why your reaction was so unspeakably beautiful, Sonny. The sheer, unfiltered joy. The soft gasp of genuine awe and disbelief as the green lightsaber came into the frame, almost hesitant, as if the vision were a fragile thing, ready to shatter and vanish if your reaction were to be too intense, the tears, and sobs, and the raw, unfiltered vulnerability they revealed. And, next to you, Kat, with infinite tenderness, holding that space for you, in gentle understanding, support, and shared happiness. In a world of masks, what you showed us was precious beyond quantification. So while I can only speak for myself, believe me when I say that I definitely didn't mind seeing a grown-ass man cry.

Same age as you my friend and the same feelings. My entire love for movies and sci-fi in general is because of Star Wars.

I’ve never seen so many grown ass men cry, myself included (well I didn’t see myself but you know what I mean), as I have seen watching this episode. And it’s such pure joy....seeing what some of us waited nearly 40 years to see and thought we’d been robbed of forever by certain people I won’t bother to mention beyond that. Bless you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau and Mark Hamill. Bless you for giving us this and thank you. I never thought we’d get this chance back and it means a lot. What an amazing moment.

For all our brothers and sisters in the fandom, the actors and actresses who brought our heroes and villains to life who we lost along the way, guys we are still here. Star Wars is alive and well. It's a lot lonelier without you, but Dave and Jon gave us something wonderful. We all wish you guys are still here, seeing Boba and Luke again. For all of us who clung on to the hope of seeing our heroes again, today we celebrate. This the way. And may the force be with all of us. P.S. Love you, Pops. Thank you for letting me watch your tapes. I saw Boba again. Love you always, RIP Celso Mendoza 1925-2002.

I am currently 50 years old. When I was just five years old, I had the opportunity to watch Star Wars for the first time. The last time I saw Luke Skywalker was in Return of the Jedi. The wait for this moment, spanning over 40 years, was well worth it. It exceeded the quality of most significant days in my life.

39-year old man. I cried as well. Luke was our childhood hero and seeing him like that was all we wanted. This show really makes the sequels feel like they purposely gave fans a giant middle finger. It’s crazy Disney let that happen after Avengers: Endgame was just full of fan service.

Another great moment of the episode and alot people don’t catch is grogu recognizing R2D2, they know each other from coruscant, he was reluctant to walk away from mando until he saw him and R2 beeping in excitement, like saying, hello old friend, very nice touch

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Wow! I never thought about that. However, We have to wonder just how many other Padawans Grogu actually met, in his time at The Jedi Temple; and, how much he came in contact with Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2. If he did meet those 2, THAT would be very interesting to see progress. Maybe Grogu knows some things about Luke and Leia's Father that will be of use and significance to them.

Think about Grogu’s favorite toy, the ball. Think about the top half of it. Think about what a silver dome with a blue circle on top resembles. Think about Grogu and Artoo encountering each other and both seeming excited. Artoo would have been in the temple frequently, with Anakin. Those two had encountered each other before, and in good enough terms that a ball that reminded Grogu of a particular droid became his favorite toy.

[@eternalposer1955]

Yea I got that feeling too. R2 seemed really excited about seeing him.

[@GT-vs2fm]

"He WAS in the temple along with C3PO. Ahsoka says "Someone took him from the temple". She doesn't say its specifically a Jedi. R2D2 wasn't seen in any of the order 66 scenes until AFTER Anakin kills the younglings. He is seen afterwards picking Anakin and Padme up in a green Jedi starfighter. R2D2 beeps something to C3PO (maybe telling him he hid Grogu?) and C3PO responds by saying "Hush! Not so loud." R2D2 would be the perfect candidate to be close enough to Anakin to know what is going on and then slip away to save Grogu without Anakin suspecting anything." from Redditt

[@SonOfACar727]

Watch the end of Revenge of the Sith, they mind wiped R2 and C3PO.

So R2 doesn’t remember Anakin, Ashoka, or Grogu. He remembers yoda though from Empire Strikes back, and thats why R2 is excited.
