I love when Din plays the bad cop. What a hilarious episode

[@gathawn193]

Din being the bad cap, and Bo being the good cop is not something I expected.

[@Quixotic1018]

I'm half convinced that Jack Black wandered on set and Bryce Dallas Howard just rolled with it.

[@thomassmart4088]

hey Bryce - check out my mo' hired

[@kelaarin]

And Lizzo rolled on set and Howard just wandered with it.

[@altairtodescatto]

@@kelaarin I see what you did there

[@YodatheHobbit]

I love how Din is a helper of his friends to reach their destiny. He just wants to be a dad Mando, help others achieve their goals along the way. Mayfeld, Greef, Ahsoka, Cobb, Boba, Bo. They do of course help each other as well. He is not one who seeks the limelight or power.

[@madelinegarber7860]

I love that too.

[@tthe9396]

I love Bo's suppressed smirk when Grogu is knighted. Proud Aunty!!

[@ThomasCorp]

I don’t know how popular an opinion this is, but I’m just going to say it. Although this is not the type of episode that I was expecting today, good Lord almighty, this episode was a blast! I had such a fun time and had a great big smile on my face throughout! Such a wonderful birthday surprise, this episode!

[@teipeu9033]

Agreed. It had Clone Wars/Rebels one-shot vibes. As someone on tumblr said, it felt like something George Lucas had a hand in. There’s also a lot of subtle symbolism in almost every scene. Plus it was just a lot of fun. Like an RPG quest.

[@ThomasCorp]

@@teipeu9033 100% agree with this.

[@Kekkersboy]

It's what I wanted the series to be from day one.

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yes! Thank you! The beginning was a bit cringe, but once the mission started it was a delight! And it’s always good to see battle droids.

[@liamr4117]

I don’t think any of us had Jack Black and Lizzo on our bingo cards

[@williedawg2152]

I like that you can tell that you enjoy stories. Your reactions aren't just about what else it reminds you of. This episode was awesome, I enjoyed the lighter side of star wars and it's ok just have fun and enjoy the characters it brought to life for us all to enjoy :)

[@donnamj59]

I am in agreement with you on Din not really wanting to rule Mandalore. He was honored to have it in his possession, but he knows that Bo is the rightful ruler and is fine to just stand back and help in any way he can. This episode was fun from beginning to end!

[@jdperry]

I agree that he never really wanted it. He was waiting for a moment she would accept it. I also think she never challenged him for it because she didn't want to hurt him. So this moment was the nexus of his honor and hers. He's a good fighter but he doesn't know how to use the tools the way Bo does, which is why she was willing to challenge Ax here, who also knew how to use all the tools so it was a fair fight. Even then, she could have killed him at least three times and didn't.

[@cerberus01]

No question he didn't want that responsibility, he tried to give it to Bo as soon as he got it at the end of season 2.

[@CrankyGrandma]

I think he was waiting to see if she claimed it. But she now sees Din as the nobler person…which actually makes her fit to rule now.

[@tucmakukla]

Additionally... Before, Bo Katan was actively trying to get the Darksaber to rule. Now? She did not get the Darksaber because she was trying to get the blade. She got it, because she hurried to save a fellow Mandalorian, without any regards for reward etc.

[@misteryman526]

Din should have asked those Ugnaughts if they had an IG memory circuit.

[@CrankyGrandma]

This was my fav episode of the season precisely because it had that stand alone episode feel. It was fun! I was wondering why Bo didn’t have the lightsaber right after the caves. Din clearly lost it in combat and she clearly won it. I can only say she had learned humility and no longer grasped for the throne. Hence she is now for for it. Din could not wield it and knows it’s not for him. He is the paladin to her, his queen

[@tristanmilner9511]

7:15 excellent timing! Sesska: If my two favorite Star Wars characters met, I don't think they'd get along. Din: Why's that?

[@ateam404]

Din kicking the droids had me dying 😂

[@chainreactions5807]

Why can't people understand that Din has no wish to rule, even having the Dark Saber he just couldn't get rid of it until now. What I wish he still had was the BESKAR SPEAR!

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

He was a beast with the spear

[@acereporter73]

I was kinda hoping Chopper was behind the droid uprising. 🤣

[@BioTheRebel]

My favorite episodes of any live action Star Wars show are the ones that explore the fun and variety that only Clone Wars gave us. And this episode did JUST THAT. It was so much fun, and a necessary adventure before the last episodes arrive.

[@G1Transformed]

15:20 Din doesn't particularly care for droids, but he's become okay around them because of what they've done for him/Grogu as of late. Din was interested in this particular mission because the problem was BATTLE DROIDS! Do you remember Din's flashback's @sesskasays? His family was killed by Battle Droids. Din hates Battle Droids in the same way Bo-Katan hates Clones. Speaking of Clones, will she be seeking Boba Fett out? He, too, is a Mandalorian foundling. He isn't particularly pleased with what he's accomplished on Tatooine. He's a man of no people and two cultures living in a home that doesn't feel like home ='(

[@ThomasKnip]

I love the "Doc Brown fall" at the end when Bo took him out. Great Scott! 😄

[@timmooney7528]

Din Jarin's kicking the battle droids reminds me of the Boston Dynamic videos testing their robot's stabilization.

[@theadamabrams]

The scene reminded me of the _I, Robot_ movie (in a good way; that movie was drastically different from the book, but I still enjoyed it).

[@z-nyxkibishidesu5380]

Fun fact: The voice in the rail car is the actress who plays Padme in Clone Wars.

[@JCG52577]

The Mandalorians would not break out Gideon. They would attack and kill him given the chance. The Beskar alloy (not pure) on the ship could have come from anywhere but most likely a dark trooper or planted to incriminate the Mandos. All the Beskar in the galaxy is not exclusively owned by the Mandos as we’ve seen in several episodes previously.

[@Ductos]

Grogu being a knight is totally coming back as a plotpoint in the future.

[@Jon_FM]

I was like uh oh when this episode started but CSI galaxy was really fun and I loved the conclusion. Dunno sometimes I just enjoy going along for the ride. One thing I thought a lot about in this episode but also in general. One thing Bo has never really seem to have is a shared life, she disliked Satine's choice to take Mandalore in pacificism, her relationship with the Visla clan always seemed to go sideways and generally she was rarely friends with others. I think Ahsoka was one of the few until Djin where she felt like she had a friend and partner. I feel like that is the key to her story which seems to be what this season is focused on. Rebuilding her from the Purge into a better monarch.

[@foulrot]

He shall now be known as Sir Grogu the Hungry

[@filipinoparadigm]

Now I want a law and order mandalorian investigation unit to be a thing

[@Flufferz626]

Din kicking the battle droids reminded me of those videos of MIT students kicking the robots they made to test their ability to recover balance.

[@acetrainer44]

Your reactions when you saw all the cameos were priceless

[@johntaylor564]

I kinda expected Christopher Lloyds character to say " I would have gotten away with it if wasn't for you meddling Mandalorians!"

[@Paxtin]

I donno if it's just me, but the vibe of this episode felt very 90's scifi tv to me...Like a Farscape kinda vibe, in a way. Also, "Why don't you just fight him?" made me laugh, given where the scene was going.

[@stevemcgowen]

There's a silver key ring on the handle of the dark saber. Din was using it as a key fob...

[@halcundiff6886]

Din and Bo act like a couple that have been married a long time. They make a good pairing.

[@margolitapnina6716]

I needed such an episode ❤ loved it. the cops vibez, a bunch if droids and the droid bar, clone wars similarities with pair missions, the cameos, funny grogu and funny Din ❤ I am so happy

[@madelinegarber7860]

I’m sorry but I kinda loved this episoxe. It wasn’t what I would’ve chosen for this late in the season and the beginning had some cringe moments, but it was so much fun and a delight to watch over all. So much nestalgia with all the clone wars references. And the end was awesome! How Bo got the dark saber was definitely a bit round about, but I didn’t have a problem with it. Din never wanted it and couldn’t use it properly. She could. And god damn she deserves it. I’m just gonna say it. Then again I’m very biased. And her giving Din that vote of confidence was everything! He was definitely blushing under that helmet. I’m glad they didn’t have to fight for it. Oh also let’s just acknowkedge No’s complete doneness with being sent on a side quest like Din always is. Though I think he impressed her and us with his diplomatic skills.

[@JackMellor498]

Fun fact for any Whovians here: The Quarren captain is played by Christine Adams, who played Cathica from The Long Game back in Series 1 with Eccleston. Also, unrelated, the Mon Calamari dude in love with the Quarren, is Tom Holland’s brother.

[@kivimik]

Though likely not a direct reference to Doctor Who, a "big red button" is something of a little running gag in that show.

[@jacobhogan3208]

I loved the insight to a Separatist so far removed from the Clone Wars but still so much of a believer.

[@Pufta5]

[@robert8581]

Grogu colored nails, good form!

[@thedoctor4327]

Comparisons between Declining the Throne and Arguing in Favor of A Female Acquaintance to Be Ruler Instead: Din Djarin - Publicly makes an eloquent speech that appeals to the values of the warrior culture he is speaking to explaining why he is no longer a viable candidate to rule but why Bo Katan is in fact more deserving. The result is Bo Katan earning the Darksaber without having to fight/kill an ally and she regains the allegiance of her former army. HBO Jon Snow: Parrots the same series of stock phrases (“We NEED ALLIES”, “I DUNT WANT IT” “U R MAI QUEEN”), refuses to publicly elaborate on HBO Daenerys’ qualifications and privately shares information that hurts her cause. Result is HBO Dany stews in her grief and insecurities and ultimately becomes her father’s daughter

[@zurnie]

[@seanbarron2890]

I loved this episode! From the quirky enforced side-quest (which was pure Star Wars!) to the battle for leadership at the end. I usually find Jack Black annoying but he was perfect in this! So wonderful to see Christopher Lloyd as the dastardly Separatist sympathiser too! As for the final sequence, it really seems like fate is pushing for Bo-Katan to unite the Mandalorians with the portent of seeing the Mythosaur, the Armorer backing her, her winning the fight and then Djin giving her the Darksaber because of what happened on Mandalore. One thing that strikes me about this show is they're not afraid to go with a simple solution to a plot arc - doubts about Bo-Katan being accepted by the Armorer's clan? Not a problem! What happens with the Darksaber? He gives it to her. The thing is the plot is so well done that we may wonder what the solution will be but when it's resolved so easily, we realise that what we're given is really the only solution!

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

This show is total shit. It doesn't feel like Star Wars, in the least.

[@minximayhem]

18:31 This is one of the issues I have with people just looking to be negative toward The Mandalorian series as a whole. We're talking about people that claim to be fans of the franchise who only really know it superficially. The Mandalorian, at it's core, is a Spaghetti Western. And beyond that, it's a Kurosawa inspired one as well. Just like Star Wars proper. He's Toshiro Mifune and Clint Eastwood in space armor. He's not meant to be the "The Chosen One" which I feel a lot of people criticizing the show fail to get. He's the hero yes, but he stands on the side lines of the main tale ready to take his kid and slip away when everyone else is celebrating. He's not meant to be Manda'Lor. Bo-Katan is. And for the one's thinking it's a Yas Queen thing... she's a main franchise character with an on going arc. She's just not the girl who stole the show from the Mandalorian. She IS The Mandalorian. From The Clone Wars, to Rebels to now. She has a journey more so than even Boba Fett. Who isn't Mandalorian btw. Din is more Mandalorian. At least he's from Concordia where as Boba is from a vat on Kamino hahaha Any way... Season 3 hasn't been good by any stretch but leave it to Bryce Dallas Howard to get it back on track.

[@CaturdayNite]

So....my memory is a bit messed up. I went into the season thinking it was just about him being redeemed....and he was, quickly. Anything I missed? Because they wrapped that up pretty quickly and transitioned toward moving Bo and the other Mandalorians being the focus of future seasons since Pedro is supposed to be leaving after this season> So....I am all for this. We had a nice "side-mission" kind of episode for 75% of this episode. Some fun, light stuff. With only 25% there to push the Bo/Mandalorians story forward. I am really enjoying this season but am losing track of where they are headed with it. Luckily, not being held to the standard broadcast running times they can do whatever they want with the last two episodes. We can get some long episodes to tie everything up for all we know. At the same time, I understand the complaints, but not to the toxic level I have been seeing on social media. After all, if they followed the same exact format as the previous two seasons I feel like those same people complaining about this season being too different would then be complaining that nothing new is happening. The phrase I heard from Michal Okuda when referencing Star Trek The Next Generation's productions keeps coming to mind these days: "Give me something new, something different...but don't CHANGE anything!"

[@opsatr]

Before anything else, can I just say... 1:00 this actor's voice (Axe Woves character) is awesome. Maybe it's just me, but I love his voice. Idk why. 🤪 Anyway, moving on. 😆 When they showed scenes in the 'previously' part of the dark saber going from Moff to Din, and then the eye thing on Mandalore and Bo Katan killing it, I already knew they were going to go that route of saying she defeated the one who "defeated" Din. I have to admit, I did not like that at first. Because first off, I did not view Din's capture as him being "defeated" by that eye thing. He was just lured into a trap and captured. There was no battle at all. And second, I believe that the dark saber itself, just like Moff Gideon said, has no power in terms of giving it's bearer the 'right' to rule Mandalore. (As others have said, it's not like the Elder Wand.) However, again, as Moff Gideon said, it is the story that has power. Not power in a magical sense either, but the story has power because the people believe it or give value to it. And so, because of that, I'm ultimately fine with them using the story (which, really, should not be believed or given value at all, but if it works, it works 🤷‍♀️) to convince these other Mandalorians that Bo has checked all the boxes they needed her to, and to recognize her as the rightful owner of the blade. In other words, they needed to make it make sense to them, and they accomplished that. Also just want to note that I was one of those who wanted Din to rule Mandalore. I believe there's still value in the idea that those who don't seek power make better leaders. However, I'm fine with Bo Katan leading here (note that I don't know much about her history outside of this show). I agree that Din is more of a supporter rather than a leader, and I think it's a good thing to have him back Bo Katan, and that they've been through enough things together that she listens to him. Now, all we need is to get Boba and co. into the mix. 😉

[@Skillionaire9]

Din is friends with Bo. He's helped remind her about her heritage in a way she never grasped being a spoiled princess with high expectations. People have made up all this headcanon just fantasizing about him being a ruler, but he's not one. You think he wants to sit on a throne and judge disputes or argue policy? He's already the head of his own house with Grogu and that's about enough. Give him a grown up Omega as a girlfriend and they're good to go. They aren't going to settle on Mandalore, they just want to help get it back and then on to more adventures.

I was very disappointed i wanted it to be Din, That said if it had to be Bo’Katan I think they should have done it different. This seemed Cheep and a cop out of the you cant give it to her rule. That fight with the robot was not an honorable fight between the robot and din it was a cheat ambush so the saber never really would have been the robots for her to win. It would have been better to have a better fight for din to loose and not die and have her save him and take the saber back that way bout the robot fight was a cheep fight. I still wanted it to be Dins and I do it want her to kill him for it but there had to be a more honorable fight then that to do this cheep thing they did
