Even if it's not "Do you just not like Star Wars?", a bunch of fans seem to have self-serving "This is what I want/expected from the show, and if it's not that, I will pick it apart because it wasn't those things" mentalities, or the like. And from there, they latch onto anyone who's even mildly critical - fairly or otherwise - and say "You can see what the mainstream reactors who 'blindly accept everything' cannot!", or similar. Of course, not everyone (on either side) is guilty of such things. But as a whole, a lot of the dislike/hate certainly gives off that impression imho. Particularly from those saying "this season has no storyline" (a major shift in the Mandalorians' place among the galaxy, going from outcasts to seeking a path to rebuilding their people), or more specifically, "only the last 5 minutes of Episode 6 mattered" (potentially recognizing Mandalore has a sovereign system? That's not a big deal at all; we'll ignore that /sarcasm)

[@Andjelka99]

I kn right? Don't get me started on Obi-Wan. His show had great character arcs and finally help me connect Anikin and Darth as one

[@Skye_Writer]

Because today's "fans" have forgotten what the word "fan" mean. Instead of being short for "fanatic" to describe people who love something, they seem to be going the way of a fan being something that blows hot air.

[@judyhuurman1237]

Another reactor put it like this .. "if you want a beginning, middle and end, watch a 2 1/2 hour movie." The Mandalorian is a TV show with episodes that show character and world building. I find it more interesting when the plot goes off to left field every now and then. Some of the off the wall things come back to mean something in a later episodes. I'm tired of the haters. If you don't like it don't watch it. As for your comment on Andor .. for some reason I just couldn't get into the Cassian character. Maybe because the ending of Rogue 1 bummed me out big time. After Ahsoka I may go back and try to watch it again. Really enjoy your reaction and thoughts about the show. And speaking of Ahsoka, I'll have to re-watch Rebels so I know who's who.

[@DoctorFatality]

my theory has been that the mandalorian was intended to have rotating main/focus characters (din djarin -> boba fett -> bo katan -> ??) but din and grogu had such good reception that boba fett got spun off and din stayed the main character this season instead of bo katan, even though the story is about her.

[@xackwerley9184]

I suspected that too. I like Din, however if the story shifts focus from him like it kinda did I’m not gonna complain. I’m here to experience the universe and it’s stories, not just a specific character

[@stevemcgowen]

I think they changed things around because Pedro won't be in S4...

[@brianng8350]

I would love to hear the planning of the show and hear from the creators. But it might be a sensitive subject at this time. Eventually… hopefully…

[@CCFONESOL]

Din is still the connecting thread for the audience.

[@legendswarble2845]

I always thought it was gonna be like the Witcher where the title refers to the dad first, then the kid. So, the Mandalorian would refer to Din first and then eventually Grogu, but along the way, it'd focus on every person that leads Grogu down his path

[@jpwphoenix1701]

It's funny what you were saying about the criticism about Din being more of a supporting character this season. One of the show runners, possibly Rick F, actually tweeted today and made it official that "The Mandalorian" is about ALL the Mandalorians, not just Din Djarin.

[@itsflowerside]

i really want to know what the creative choice behind that was. like... why? din is insanely popular and i felt like they know this. i hope that they will sort of rectify that going forward cause people have been quite upset about it.

[@ZachBobBob]

It should've been that from the start then instead of switching gears in season 3. It was all about Din and Grogu and now it just feels unfocused and messy.

[@BG_StuartJ]

The imperial in season 1 gave Din the beskar, but he also gave Greef some. Add in the beskar spear in The Jedi and there is plenty reason to think the imperials had more beskar and could have left some in the derelict ship. My only question is if it was accidental or intentional.

[@acereporter73]

Mandalorians have that grounded appeal whereas Jedi, to a failing, can be "above it all" at times. Also, Mandalorians can be heroes outside of the major regimes (and politics). I am definitely eager for more related content about Mandalorians (games especially).

[@janineelvin3139]

Yes, Pedro was busy shooting TLOU when principal photography was being done for this season of Mandalorian. He came in later to do the voice work. But for the vast majority of the season, it’s Lateef Crowder in the suit on camera.

[@tyronegutierrez517]

where's the proof? just curious.

[@AngelaSealana]

If you watch interviews with the other cast members, it's clear that Pedro is only the face and the voice. Lateef and Brenden Wayne are the actual costumed character actors.

[@janineelvin3139]

Pedro has been in the suit several times, especially in earlier seasons. But the easiest way to tell who is in the suit, is to look at the shoulders. All 3 guys (Pedro, Lafeef Crowder, and Brandon Wayne) have very different shoulders as well as a different way of moving. Lateef especially has very sloping shoulders, you can always tell when it’s him in the suit.

[@brianng8350]

But that is the thing… we don’t even see Pedro’s face. It should not matter if he is indeed filming the other show. He can be on the other side of the world and just phone in the voice over. It should not affect this show much.

[@mnoir7257]

Pedro is in the suit when he takes his helmet off. Every other shot is a stuntman or body double. It would be ridiculous for production to do it any other way. This isn't a knock on that technique. Its just the way this stuff is done.

[@TonyVainosky]

Lol about your guys' conversation at the end- I watched episode 1 of Book of Boba Fett and then for some reason never watched the rest until a few weeks ago when I went to start watching The Mandalorian 3x1 and I was like....did I miss something!? I thought Grogu was with Luke! Had to google to figure out that stuff with Din and Grogu happened in Book of Boba Fett so I went back and watched it first and really enjoyed it too. But I agree, sometimes it seems like people are looking for negativity, like are there critiques to be made? Sure! But I'm just having fun watching Star Wars 😀

[@ourwalkstogether]

Exactly.. his name is not Mandalorian.. its Din. I have actually liked that who the titular 'Mandalorian' is seems to kinda change over time.. granted that maybe be more my interpretation but it started with it being Din, then for a minute it seemed like it was maybe Boba, every now and then you think maybe it will be Grogu in the end.. and now its Bo-Katan though Din is kinda her lieutenant.. they are kinda a pair now.. anyway I have no problem with it I think it makes it interesting

[@JackMValentine]

Okay, I don't normally comment but I totally agree with the concept that The Mandalorian is a great balance between action adventure and seeing the Star Wars galaxy after the Empire. I love spending time with all these characters and I really fell in love with the Mandalorians as a whole. Never been much of a Star Wars fan but this show really got me watching. And I am also going agree with the sentiment that I prefer the Mandalorians to the Jedi. The Jedi I think were the reason why I didn't super enjoy the series originally. I had the VHS of the original trilogy and of course my favorites were Yoda because he made being a Jedi so effortless and he was a puppet. Then there was the prequel trilogy which I was old enough to see in theaters. And those movies made the contemporary Jedi seem really out of touch. Sure they're cool with their laser swords and magic powers, but they steal children and reject emotion and connections. And then the end of second season of The Mandalorian where the protagonist goes back and calls on all his favors, brings together all the resources and connections. Quaill, IG-88, Cara Dune, freaken Boba Fett and Fennic Shand with Bo Katan! And they take on the main antagonist, storm the castle, fight the evil dark knights and... a Jedi shows up and just mercs everyone. It's like cheating. Sure it's Luke, I enjoyed seeing him too but that's what it is, the Jedi running out here with cheat codes while the normal people in the galaxy are left to pick up the pieces. I connect way more with the Mandalorians than I do with almost any other faction in this universe. So yeah, I love seeing these people come together from scattered regions and fight tooth and nail to claw their way back to some semblance of society.

[@jimmast2230]

"It's Star Wars dude! SHUT UP!" I couldn't have said it better myself. Glad you guys rewatched the episode and uploaded it.

[@TgrHwke]

Everyone remarks about the beskar spear but seems to forget about the camtono full of Imperial stamped beskar that was featured in season one episode three. That camtono was provided by Moff Gideon and he probably got the beskar when the Empire raided Mandalore during the Purge Most likely there is more of it out there some where.

[@monosito59]

Episodes like this where we have whole units of mandos mobilizing to fight stuff together as well as bad batch have reignited a DEEP desire for like a squad based shooter game featuring either Mandalorians or clone commandos. Such underutilized groups of characters in games of this type. Jedi are dope, but i wanna play as a MANDOOO.

[@kka0192]

Why is Hector on the right? This is what makes me feel different yesterday besides Augustine not being here 😂

[@Jigsaw0g]

Tim Meadows character not knowing a planet could also relate in some ways to how some people (mostly U.S) may be ignorant as to the names and existence of some countries in the world. Something along the lines of "If its not a place I know its probably not that important".

[@intbananas]

I'm finding the episodes fun, but Din is still the character I feel most engaged with, I don't know Bo and it's been such a rapid progression of pronouncements from the Armorer to change her status that it feels effortless, so I'm still not feeling invested in her. That may change by the end of the season, but even now I still think she's kinda cool. I have a long love of ensemble shows, being a long-term fan of things like Babylon 5, which regularly changed focus between characters and multiple story threads; The Mandalorian hasn't yet made the transition to that kind of balance so this could be growing pains as much as anything else. It's a minor point, but I think they need to update the subtitles so those stop showing all of Din's dialogue as "The Mandalorian", makes it look as though the title still refers to him specifically. It would probably better demonstrate the intended direction of the show.

[@FERNANDOFLORES-wk8ju]

The thing is that in the great star wars universe Bo is probably the a favorite too, she is Satin's sister dam she is royalty and obi wans sister in law hahaha

[@ExUSSailor]

It's called "The Mandalorian", NOT, "The Din & Grogu Show". Bo-Katan, Axe Woves, the Armorer, Paz Viszla - ALL Mandalorians, all pertinent to the show. They could make an episode where Paz takes Ragnar shopping, and, the title would STILL work.

[@AT32556]

But then if the show was about multiple Mandalorians, wouldn't it be called "Mandalorians" or "The Mandalorians" ? The title is very specific, and closed captioning actually labels Din as The Mandalorian every time he speaks, so there is a lot of evidence against what you're saying

[@wendyflores1092]

26:40 .... The thing is.... Mandalorians don't waste beskar, why would they just let it there, not just the "framing" argument, but the waste argument

[@kylemccool1037]

I happen to think the beskar left behind in the shuttle came from a Dark Trooper. I don't think it was left to frame the Mandos, but it will likely be the connection that leads Carson back to Din to ask questions, which will ultimatelty reveal the Admiral Thran of it all.

[@2879BKR]

S3 just feels a bit all over the place compared to S1 and S2 for me. Even the oddball side quests in S1 and S2 were better than anything in S3. This episode, the Grogu flashback and the mines got the closest maybe to the level of S1 or S2. The rest (esp Ep 6) feel just out of place somehow. Hopefully Ep 7 and 8 really wrap it up well.

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I love this show and even though it veers off to other characters, it’s all for the story. All will be revealed in time. Every episode has a place in the story overall. So I’m a fan…❤

[@thorneyquins8780]

Pedro Pascal was double shooting between mandalorian and the last of us... Pedro said in a certain interview i forgot what channel it was, that he asked permission from both Dave Filloni and Jon Favreau if he was allowed to get and shoot the last of us, and they agreed and so did the other staffs, that's why they had 2 stunt men or stand in such as lateef crowder and brandon wayne to do physical shots while pedro pascal will fill in through voice acting after his shoot with the last of us is done...and that is why pedro was so thankful everytime to them to allow him to shoot 2 series at once... and jon favreau also mentioned in an interview that mandalorians or actors/stunt men wearing the helmet was very helpful that it gives the other actors especially pedro to have more time especially that he was in TLOU...

[@cwslyclgh]

remember that Moff Gideon was the guy who spearheaded the purge of Mandalor, so him and his forces had plenty of opportunity to collect a lot of beskar (the beskar that Werner Herzog paid Din in the first couple episodes of season 1 came from Moff Gideon's stash).

[@CyGea]

How is Din sidelined? Because he is fallible, and needed Bo's help? He is in ALL of the show (minus the Coruscant minutes). Din fucked up the pirates. Din is the one who wouldn't stop, until he found the Living Waters (Bo wanted to leave). Din is the one who saves the kid AND takes down the raptor. Din is untouched in his starfighter, while always wreaking shop. Din tackled the super-battle droid and sliced the med-droid. Din is the one who brought Bo to "The Way." She would have NEVER become the leader she needed to be without Din. Whenever he isn't on screen, we're learning about IMPORTANT secondary characters. WE FINALLY found out who saved Grogu! Din still is The Mandalorian. Watch the subtitles, they don't use Din when they identify he's speaking...they use The Mandalorian. Bo is Bo, The Armorer is The Armorer, but Din is The Mandalorian.

Emily Swallow was on Supernatural so I've seen her at a few conventions. She is absolutely the nicest person. If you wanna see something...look up any convention clip of Emily singing...she has an AMAZING voice

[@Duganator]

There's 1 other possible option I can think of: Gideon worked with Dark Troopers, & his faction had access to beskar. Could he have had a beskar clad Dark Trooper contingent that was dispatched to retrieve him? Could one of them have been damaged during the retrieval, & that's what ghe remnant is from?

[@CyGea]

I recently noticed a Mandalorian element to the First Order. They don't like their troopers removing their helmets, and they build their ranks through "foundlings." Did the First Order just steal some of the Mandalorians' training elements, or was there Mandalorian in their upper ranks?

Love your reactions (even if this wasn't a "true" reaction), but this is one time where I'm kind of annoyed with you. There was a lot of talking over some important moments, like Hector's "spend more time with side characters" speech (which I don't disagree with per se), but you completely talked over and glossed over one of those side characters HAVING A MOMENT at 12:30.

[@TheOsiris66]

I want to believe it wasn't like that the first time they saw the episode, you need to think that watching a video twice wouldn't have the same reaction as the first time, this is beyond a reaction video and more like a commentary video. 🤷‍♂️

@@TheOsiris66 I agree with you to an extent. And it’s not like I was expecting a “whoa, did you hear what he said?!?” Kind of moment, but if you want to discuss side character growth, then here’s a moment that could have been discussed, instead we got a soapbox speech.

You guys missed a glaring possibility on the Beskar question: somebody other than Mandalorians is using beskar. We already know that the Empire looted the planet and Gideon had some of the ore.

[@clarissa182]

Not going to lie, I never watched Law and Order, but I frickin' love SVU. Soo...lol. I think the criticism, which I also have (just not so angry), is that we waited two years to get specifically back to Din and Grogu's story. So now we have this season that honestly rushed through the set up of Din being redeemed and truthfully his reunion with Grogu. Now did I cry when they were reunited in Boba Fett?! Heck yeah. That was all I wanted in those last 3 episodes, but it perhaps was not the best decision for their current story. Even the alleged drama between Kennedy and Favreau would speak to it, as he didn't even want them reunited at that point. I have no issue with being introduced to new characters and learning more about them as long as they are a part of the bigger story. But I think what is happening is that just like many stated, Boba Fett was hijacked by Mando, turning it into The Mandalorian S 2.5 (which honestly was a saving grace for me) and now The Mandalorian is being hijacked at this point, by Bo's story. To Hector's point, a New Hope introduced us to multiple characters at a time and there was a balance of us learning about all these various characters at once. The Mandalorian was set up to be specifically about Din and Grogu from the very beginning. I want more of a Din/Grogu-centric story, and we aren't getting that, IMO. But, I'm not jumping ship. I like Star Wars and I loved The Mandalorian. The only things I haven't seen are the animated shows because I just don't have enough time in the day. But we still have 2 episodes left. 🤞🏾

[@hectorminator]

The show is called The Mandalorian, not The Adventures of Din Djarin. And where are you hearing there’s “drama” between Favreau and Kennedy? Where is that being reported?

Sucks that the audio issue happened but glad you guys told us that this was a re-recorded reaction instead of pretending it was a first time reaction or some shit.

[@opsatr]

13:12 The Mandalorian started with Din Djarin so it's understandable if people still believe that 'The Mandalorian' is Din Djarin. But to me, it's totally acceptable for The Mandalorian to evolve to mean The Mandalorian People. So it's their whole group now, all the different tribes together, not just Din. And besides, Din has still been the one that brought them together. Even though Bo is being raised here as 'the one who could unite us all' (was that how the Armorer put it?), who brought Bo in? Still Din. Would Bo have come on her own? She'd probably still be moping in her castle. 🤪 Or worse, gone if she was in there when it was bombed... Sure, I can understand how people can watch and say he's more just in the background now. But still, he's instrumental. 28:36 Maybe part of it is... some people somehow look at it as being "forced" to do (watch) something they didn't plan on. Like maybe they started out just planning to watch this new show The Mandalorian, but 2 seasons later, realized, oh, they'd have to watch BoBF, too. And I get that. Kind of like realizing a little late that you bit off more than you can chew... However, you watched a Star Wars show in the first place. You had to know this was part of a bigger universe right from the start so... it's absolutely fine and completely your choice if you want to limit yourself to just one show but... if you do, then you'd have to accept at the same time that doing so will mean you'll miss out a lot and won't ever get the complete picture. That's up to you. 🤷‍♀️

[@bastien-]

I really hope they don't go the "New Republic thinks the Mandos are working with the Empire" route, because that conclusion would be so absolutely stupid. The Empire destroyed their home planet, why would the Mandos as a whole ever work with them? Jumping to that conclusion would be like thinking Leia is working with the Empire because she was seen on Vader's ship. If the New Republic is THAT stupid, they deserve to be crushed.

Vacations are allowed, y'all! Take care of yourselves - you're giving us plenty of joy whenever you're able to show up.

The weird thing about the First Order isn't that people were unhappy with the New Republic, it's that I don't see why the regular Imperial Remnant doesn't still exist instead of the First Order. I mean, we've apparently got Thrawn coming back as the Heir to the Empire pulling the fragmented Imperial forces back together. And there's apparently NOT going to be an invasion of extragalactic, force-immune aliens to devastate both the New Republic and the Imperial Remnants, so how do the 'current' Imperials get wiped out and replaced with a new bunch in the next decade?

If you watch Toying Arounds, Boba Squadron podcast from Tuesday 4th April, which Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is involved with, they went through the episode and it was fascinating to hear his news from the set, including the fact that Doug Chiang is standing next to Carson Teva in the bar, but he’s obscured by another extra.

The criticism about Din being sort of sidelined... None of the events of the series could have happened with Din Jarin. Bo Katan wouldn't have seen the Mythosaur if she hadn't followed Din to the Living Waters and saved Din. Din's example of faithfully following the Creed inspired her. Din inspires and sets events in motion.

[@ProfArmitage218]

A recent Penny Arcade webcomic had one of the characters saying "If they want to give Bo-Katan Kryze her own show, they should just do it. But it can't be The Mandalorian." Then they diverged into a discussion of who was in charge on "Charles in Charge" and who was the actual boss on "Who's the Boss?", so make of it what you will.

Woooow thank you Hector 👏🏾 duuude this is STAR WARS!!! I get ppl want good story telling but SW is fun and it seems sometimes the fans suck the energy outta the fun of it and it's kinda disappointing....I love Andor, but my favorite of the shows is Book Of Boba Fett and I've gotten a lot of flack for it..😞 Look my favorite SW movie is Return Of The Jedi, I flip that movie in B&W get that cinematic experience then watch Book Of Boba Fett (ROTJ Part 2 lol ,😂) and imma happy SW fan...great reaction guys #MayTheForceBeWithEveryoneAlways and Happy Easter Ya'll!!! 🐰❤️🤘🏾

[@TheBongReyes]

I agree with you guys about how the show is highlighting other characters. But persuading people who complain about Din and Grogu not the focus of this season is a futile endeavor. Too many people create their own “Star Wars” in their heads. If anything doesn’t correspond to that, then it’s not Star Wars.

[@UserName-vb4lg]

I will say that I struggle with them doing such a huge plot point for mandalorian in boba fett because it makes the rewatch more complicated. The first few times I’ll be intentional but after that I like to put on a show and let it play. It becomes background for my life, which Star Wars has always been. So having to stop, go to another show, etc is frustrating. If they set it up the option to auto play boba fett after season 2 of mando, I’d be fine. But this way is harder to binge. Silly I know, but people who are neurodivergent like these shows too and sometimes we need some help making things work for us to keep up.

[@gehrigstory6674]

7:39-7:42 Have you guys not seen the first Men In Black movie? That talking dog character would be so disappointed in you guys, right now.

[@tay-dor7147]

"Its crazy to me that in Star Wars there are still planets that like not everyone knows about." I was talking to my Aunt's mother-in-law in Texas. She didn't know where my state (Washington State) was. I mean come on, its one of the "corner" states.

[@legendswarble2845]

As much as I appreciated Hectors mid-video rant, the interspersing of the show made it hard for my brain to focus. I know y'all have to because it's a reaction; I was just wondering if in the future you might be able to lower the volume on the show clips for those moments when you've got something to say so it's easier to focus on. If not, I totally get it but I thought it might be worth asking. Either way, love the videos and feel free to take as many vacations as you can. Everyone needs to have a life outside of work

[@akdollface007]

I think (since Mandalorians prize their Beskar armor so much), they would never be so careless as to leave all that metal. Gideon was on Mandalor and I definitely think it’s a frame job. 24:21

[@SpaceTacos60316]

YAY!! Been waiting on y'all, sad the original was janky, just happy to see/hear yous guys. Next: The Ahsoka trailer reaction???

[@althaconley]

I thought bescar(?) However you spell it is indestructible??? If so, then how is a piece of it lodged in that ship?????

[@TheFiddleFaddle]

Emily Swallow AKA The Armorer is an American actress who started out on Broadway. She is indeed gorgeous, and her refined English accent is so perfect for this character.

[@zainredding3476]

The New order is overtly specist. Do you think they would serve thrawn? Isn't there a chance Ezra flipped Thrawn?

[@70briareos]

Speaking of the Lady with the beskar spear, Morgan Elsbeth will be in the Ahsoka series! Diana Lee Inosanto will reprise her role.

[@ravenblack3474]

I've read that some exec in Disney is trying to change the Mandalorian story line and Jon Favreau is exhausted trying to defend the storyline

[@CyGea]

It drives me nuts when people say Star Wars needs to get rid of the "space wizards." The Force is part of that universe. It's like saying Sesame Street needs to get rid of the "puppets."

[@fateor3924]

I really don't get people who say Din has been more of a supporting character this season given he has been the one either doing or driving pretty much everything.

[@kimm6589]

As a Minnesotan, I love that you continuously reference the 'waters of [Lake] Minnetonka '. 😅 🫡

[@NachoReacts]

Love you guys and your reactions!!! Hope you’re all doing well!

[@vestafairie]

how frustrating that you talk over one of the best bits!!! have the conversation at the end, not during!!!
