Just a heads up! The world of Star Wars will be back late Fall! May the force be with you all 💜

[@benz.86]

Your reaction, especially to R2 rolling in… I just wanted to tell you it totally made my day!!!! Your reactions are so much fun, can’t wait to watch more Star Wars with you!!!! 😁😁😎😎 P.S.- is there any chance you’d give Star Trek with Zoe Saldana and Chris Pine a shot?

Gotta continue with Boba Fett series before heading onto Madalorian season 3 as it continues the story

One of my favorite behind the scenes stories was that Giancarlo Esposito’s grandkids called him while it was airing and told him if he hurt Grogu they’d never want to see him again

Having Luke in this finale was perfection! Also I love just how smitten you are by Din and Boba haha

[@marche800]

The Fetts are looked down on because Jango was the dna donor for the Clone Army which was used by the Empire against Mandalore. Boba being essential also a clone makes him get lumped in with the others.

[@ThePete1081]

Yeah. Im not sure she even knew he was Boba Fett ( maybe she did) but that she recognized the voice of a clone. She has reason to distrust clones

[@finex666]

i would like to add, Fett was The Mandalor till if I remember correctly her clan set them up. Fett and his clan Vs Duku and the jedi, don't need to tell you who won. well point is they pretend he is not a Mandalorian cause that means they admit he was the true Mandalor

[@mathies3598]

I love the line "If we would've shown half that spine to the empire we would've never lost our planet" I mean, not like Boba Fett was ever trying to protect Mandalore, but it's true, Mandalorians always seem to be fighting eachother rather than their universal enemy.

[@everforward5561]

[@karlluigi1987]

When people thought Bo-Katan, Ahsoka, and Boba Fett's appearance was the best episode, and then there comes LUKE SKYWALKER

[@LeChaunce]

I hope someone has told you already that Book of Boba Fett is basically Mandalorian season 2.5 and that you need to see at least the back half of that season before Mando season 3 comes out.

[@LitLounge]

Agreed even if you don't film the whole season boba episodes 5-7 are must watches before Mando season3

[@karlluigi1987]

The DARK TROOPERS were so bad ass they have their own Dubstep Music

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction! 😊 This is my favorite episode of the series so far. Mark Hamill was in fact there on the set for that last scene along with a stunt double who looks similar to how Mark looked in Return of the Jedi. There's a really good behind the scenes look on how the Luke Skywalker scenes were brought to life. No spoilers, but you need to be sure to watch "The Book of Boba Fett" before the season 3 of "The Mandalorian" comes out. Again no spoilers, but you will be super confused going into the third Mandalorian season once it comes out. If you decide to continue on with the Star Wars shows, the rest of the release order is: "The Bad Batch", "The Book of Boba Fett", "Obi-Wan Kenobi"(be sure to watch the prequel trilogy first), and "Andor"(be sure to watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story first)will be coming out in three weeks. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

[@anthonydean1743]

I love that we got Katee Sackhoff to play Bo Katan in live action after voicing her in animation for so long. I still say she would have been the better choice to play Captain Marvel in the MCU.

[@abi_corinne]

Was she a contender for Cap Marvel?? Is so I could have seen it 😍

[@anthonydean1743]

@@abi_corinne when they announced that the captain marvel movie was being made she was one of the actress considered for the role and was the fan favorite for the part. Instead we got Brie and a film that is usually on the bottom of most Marvel fans list of MCU film rankings. It's the only MCU film I've seen just once. And before people say I just don't like the actress; no I thought she was good in other films like 21 Jump Street, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and Kong Skull Island that had two other MCU actors in it.

I was a wreck when Luke showed up, lol. I couldn't even enjoy it the first time around because I knew instantly that Din and Grogu would be separated. I bawled for a long time after , too, lol. One thing I didn't notice on the first watch is that in that final close-up shot of Grogu, he's crying, too - you can see his tears. Fantastic reaction a complete joy watching you react. I agree with other commenters about the Book of Boba Fett - a definite must see before Season 3. Thank you for sharing your entertaining reactions! 🙂

[@BattlerClerk]

I’ve seen this finale dozens of times and every time it makes me cry like a baby. Something about the nostalgia of seeing Luke and the beauty of our new fave characters not having a clue who he is makes my heart explode.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Luke's x-wing;black cloak and clothing;Luke's moves;his belt;green saber really says it's Luke; black gloved right hand. I love they play Luke's theme music when he reveals himself. ❤ Mark Hamill is in this.

[@Pecos1]

Young lady, many men, including myself, cried at this episode. I cried as soon as I realized it was Luke, then I balled when he revealed his face. See, I saw the first Star Wars when I was 4 1/2 years old, in theater, in 1977. Luke has been my childhood hero for a long time. When this episode came out, it had been 38 years since Return of the Jedi. We never got to see Grandmaster Jedi Luke Skywalker. Then this episode happened. Even more, they brought in Mark Hamill to reprise his iconic role! You are most definitely in good company in crying. This was the most emotional episode of any show I have ever seen. I won't dare spoil anything, but be ready for some possible emotional moments ahead. It's too bad you hadn't seen Clone Wars and Rebels prior to this. Ahsoka Tano would've meant more to you, and Bo-Katan as well. See, the voice actress for Bo-Katan is the same person who played her in The Mandalorian. You'll just have to watch the animated shows for the rest. There is a tribute to Ahsoka Tano I could point you to if you'd like to see it. It was made before this show aired, meaning no one knew she would be in the show.

[@christoffsimply3179]

Oh my god, you are just so fun and amazing. I absolutely love your reactions. I have to say, the end of this episode is right up there with the best moments in all Star Wars history. They really knew how to get us with this story. Brilliant.

[@gregflorez7891]

The ending of the second season brought the house down. Amazing moment 🔥🔥🔥

[@uninterruptedrhythm4104]

Me and my cousin who were watching this episode got so hype when Luke showed up. We were jumping around the house. This was during the height of the COVID quarantine too so it was fun seeing someone we admired and pretended to be as younger kids

[@jonmercano1138]

The question of the Fetts being mandos was around for a while. In Legends continuity there was no question about it, they _were_ 100%. In new canon, a mandalorian of different ideology claimed Jango was just a bounty hunter who got mando armor, and a reference book or two said Jango claimed his homeworld was a mandalorian one. Then The Tragedy finally confirmed that Jango at least was indeed mandalorian. I find it very interesting that Boba doesn’t fully identify as one, though not unsurprising. Jango trained him to be a bounty hunter and he lived as such most of his life, and didn’t even wear the armor until he was a teen/young adult

[@debbee0867]

I personally don't believe Boba is a Mandalorian, Jango definitely was one. I think they tried to tell you that in this episode.

Great reaction as normal. Just wanted to say a big well done for being able to carry on with the reaction after that Din/Grogu moment. I wouldn't have been able to, when I first saw it I could barely see the screen through the tears. It still makes me tear up to this day. R2 and Din are my two favourite canon characters in SW, so when R2 rolled in, that did put a huge smile on my face. I have a legends favourite from the books, but he hasn't made it to the big screen yet.

If you hit up clone wars, you’ll love it from the battle of crystophsis to the seige of Mandalore! Rebels also has some of my favorite and most emotional moments in all of Star Wars. And I was 40 before I decided to watch them!

[@bdeakes]

One main reason the Mandolorians have issue with Boba, is because he's a clone. His "father" was a foundling and considered a Mandolorian.

[@IggyStardust1967]

3:54 - Jango Fett was indeed Mandalorian (He was a Foundling, like Din Djarin). However, Boba, being a clone, is not considered to be one, by Mandalorian standards. Boba took his "father's" armour, and repainted it for his own use. Remember from Attack of the Clones; Boba was an "unaltered" clone. So he ages normally, and didn't have the Inhibitor Chip that the clones in the Grand Army had.

[@beetleb.1418]

Your reaction broke my heart at least as much as when I first viewed this ep. I don't even have words. You're awesome

[@elimartin4686]

Lol I’ve watched this so many times since it came out 😅🥹🥲😭 haven’t once seen it without tear in my eyes!

[@battlefries]

I think the reason why Bo-Katan had such beef with Boba Fett is because she was around during the Clone Wars, and every single clone was based off of Jango Fett, only altered to accept orders easier and with rapid aging so that a fully-grown clone could be ready in ten years, not twenty. Part of Jango's payment was an unaltered clone for himself, and that was his son, Boba Fett. I think that Bo-Katan hears Boba's voice and immediately, her mind thinks something like, "This is just some damned clone wearing Mandalorian armor. How dare he?!" Hence why when Boba said the armor belonged to his father, she said, "Don't you mean your donor?" as in his gene donor. To her, seeing the armor of her people being worn by what she sees as an artificial person - one that she saw mass-produced once upon a time - was a horrific insult. As for why Boba calls Bo-Katan 'princess,' well, that's a story you should discover for yourself. ^_^

[@kaygee2121]

This reaction is just perfection! 💖💖

[@oxhine]

Hey, Abi! Peyton Reed, the MCU's "Ant-Man" trilogy guy, directed the finale. Creator Jon Favreau promises the third season will be a Mandalorian version of "Game of Thrones"! A tearful Season Finale concludes one major arc and leaves many tantalizing plot threads unresolved! Here's my take on Episode 16, "The Rescue": Boba Fett brings the Lambda-class shuttle to a standstill with his ion cannons which disrupt electrical systems as seen when the Rebellion used them against the Star Destroyers orbiting Hoth in "Empire" or when the Separatist dreadnought 'Malevolence' used them against Republic cruisers in "Clone Wars". Lambda-class shuttles transport Imperial VIPs and this one is ferrying Dr. Pershing, played again by Omid Abtahi, who proves especially cooperative. I don't believe the good doctor has any love for the Empire and has been coerced into Gideon's transfusion project. He has always been sympathetic toward Grogu. We get another glimpse of varying Imperial perspectives: instant defector and true believer. The believer kills his disloyal compatriot, taunts Cara and laments the millions lost on the Death Star! We learn that Cara's teardrop tattoo is the emblem of Alderaanian survivors like herself. As the 'Slave-1' makes planetfall, we see Bo-Katan's ship, 'The Gauntlet', parked in the shipyard. Katee Sackhoff returns as Bo-Katan Kryze and Mercedes Varnado, aka the WWE's Sasha Banks, returns as Koska Reeves. Mercedes gets to show off her rassling moves in a quick tussle with Boba Fett. The hostility between Boba and the gals is for THREE REASONS: He is a clone and considered less than a person making him unworthy to wear the armor. His sigil is that of his father Jango's mentor, Jaster Mereel, a former leader of all Mandalore whose bitter enemies were the Death Watch sect to which Bo-Katan once belonged. Lastly, he disparages Mandalore as a lost world the Empire devastated during The Purge in which they bombarded the surface with such heavy laser fire that the superheated sandy soil was fused into glass! All-girl fire team infiltrate Gideon's cruiser by cleverly blocking the launch tube with the shuttle and power through to the bridge making mincemeat of stormtroopers while Din races to lock down the Dark Troopers in cold storage before they're fully charged! Punishing Mandalorian vs. Dark Trooper duel! The beskar proves durable against a relentless pounding that warps the bulkhead around Din's unyielding helmet and the spearpoint penetrates the Trooper's armor plating! The rest of the platoon gets spaced out of the bay! Mando vs. the Moff! Gideon tricks Din into lowering his guard by accepting a truce but then savagely attacks! It's spear vs. saber with the blade superheating the shaft but Gideon goes down! Grogu is rescued but the Empire has his blood! Din vs. Bo? The Lady Kryze refuses the Darksaber as she didn't earn it in battle against Gideon which could potentially put her at odds with Djarin. Gideon stokes the discord and conceals a fallen blaster. The Dark Troopers return to the cruiser and methodically storm the bridge battering the blast shields! It's a last stand! A lone X-wing arrives and a hooded figure with a familiar BLACK GLOVE and GREEN LIGHTSABER cuts through Dark Troopers like butter! Grogu's call to a Jedi has been answered! Gideon makes a desperate final play, seizes the hidden gun, unloads on Bo-Katan, attempts to kill Grogu and tries to off himself before Cara disarms him! Bo-Katan's armor saves her life while Din shields Grogu with his armored body! LUKE SKYWALKER and R2-D2! Digitally de-aged and deep faked with an 'uncanny valley' "Return of the Jedi"-era face, MARK HAMILL voices his iconic role! Din publicly removes his helmet, says an emotional farewell and advises his ward to "NOT BE AFRAID". Does Grogu complete his training before the disaster revealed in the Sequel trilogy? Who knows? POST-CREDIT SCENE: Obese Bib Fortuna, Jabba's Twi-lek major domo, holds court in Jabba's throne room on Tatooine. Boba Fett and Fennec Shand arrive blasting Gamorrean, Weequay and Nikto guards, blow a hole in Fortuna and mount the dais. Boba shoves Fortuna's bloated corpse to the floor and takes the throne for himself. A new era in the Underworld begins and a new show is announced: "THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT". The show actually becomes "The Mandalorian" Season 2.5! Abi, the sooner you start on "Clone Wars", the sooner it'll get done!

[@kaygee2121]

The Book of Boba Fett is a must watch too. Especially for Mando.

[@UncleMilo]

The reason for the hate toward Boba is becuae Boba is a clone made from Jango Fett. The only difference was that Boba grew up "normally" instead of being aged rapidly like the other clones. Jango wanted treated Boba like a son.

[@mathies3598]

Idk man, I'd say most of the hate towards him is because during the great purge Boba was happily working with the empire. He gave not a single care to Mandalore as a planet while they were massacred. They are totally justified saying he's a disgrace to his armor with that in mind.

[@UncleMilo]

@@mathies3598 I imagine that's true as well. I was just going with the line when he called Jengo his father and the reply was "Don't you mean your donor?" The clones did end up being tools of the Empire in the end... and even if Boba was not chipped like the others, it's hard separating him from the others.
