The Mandalorian - 3x8 Chapter 24: The Return - Group Reaction

[@jasonmarbach]

Two things - season 4 starts filming in October of this year according to reports, and “the spies” (the episode title from Ep 7 that threw most of us off and caused a bunch of unfounded speculation on all our parts, including from me) was actually a biblical reference to Moses and his 12 spies (one from each tribe) who Moses sent ahead to scout Canaan on behalf of the Israelites. Including Bo, there were 12 Mandalorians (with members from both tribes) who went ahead to scout Mandalore.

[@1771soccerstar]

That's pretty awesome thanks for that nugget. I've definitely appreciated all the religious themes that have come up this season.

[@aka_themilkman]

That's awesome! I wouldn't have connected that at all and I've read Numbers a few times lol

[@red_five1542]

Excellent! Very astute 👍

[@redcardinalist]

Much as I would like to see a 4th season 4, they shld have left this at 3; this is a wonderful edning for a show.

[@putinscat1208]

Not wise to use Biblical references in a fictional space opera. Who the F do they think they are?

[@stwartic4296]

The Armorer bringing her forging tools to battles will forever be the coolest and most iconic thing to me. She's so cool. I also loved that shot of Bo holding the dark saber as they flew in. Legendary!

[@joshc7123]

It's because weapons cannot be made out of baskar because they could hurt mandolorian armor..... But as the armoror, shes allowed to "reforge and reshape" with her baskar tools, this is the way

[@celticson]

It warmed my heart when Din called R5, Buddy.

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

6:22 - Grogu and Chopper would be SUCH a chaotic combo, and I'm here for it.

[@Jordashian93]

The ending of the finale was like the end of a western movie.

[@snerdterguson]

I feel like that, and Mando making the deal to, essentially, "clean up the west (outer rim)" is a sign the show will return more to the season one formula where it is very western heavy. I think there will still obviously be connecting threads and an overarching story throughout, but I think we are gonna get a lot of bounty hunting in season 4. This last episode was one of my favorite in the entire run so far, it was as "star wars" as it gets.

[@MaliciousGrim05]

I mean, Star Wars (at least the original trilogy) has always been a space western, so it makes sense that a spinoff show in the same setting would feel that way too lol

[@nintendex9288]

Reminded me of the ending of Witcher 3's Blood and Wine dlc

[@redcardinalist]

That's SW (or at least the first movie) in a nutshell

[@ScottRutter]

When you re-watch this, notice how Din is very precise on his strikes - joints, eye slits for kill shots. Legs and feet to break balance. Mandalorians have more experience fighting Mandalorians than anyone else.

[@terminus333333333333]

Din Djarin might be among the best fighters in the galaxy by the simple fact he's one of the only ones who constantly go for the legs and feet XD

There is going to be a Season 4. They've also said that Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew and Boba Fett will interconnect the Mandalorian story which will conclude with a movie.

[@pitilessnightmare6879]

I hope so cause i read and article that someone in disney high up was ending mando in season 3 to focus on other things.

[@trini_staple]

@@kylegareau9238 If they change their mind and Season 3 is the end, I can live with that. Moff Gideon defeated, Din adopts Grogu, The Mandalorians are united and have reclaimed Mandalore. Din Djarin and Din Grgou chlling at the cabin. I'm cool with that.

[@nickdouglas736]

I wonder if that cyborg - cockroach-Grievous from Wish thing was somehow connected to the developement of the whole Dark Trooper project/Gideon suit.

[@LordSplittawig]

Gideon's suit also had knee rockets, which were clearly visible in the close-up shot during his arrival at the ambush in the last episode, although he didn't use them, as far as I can tell.

[@Matthew-pf7sb]

Mandalorians are just like the Dark Troopers flying in space in season 2, plus their Helmets have oxygen.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

I noticed that as well. I stopped watching several reactions because of that very thing. Just enjoy the damn show and stop over-thinking it.

[@chrispittman8854]

I predict "Huyang" will construct a "Dark Saber"(Jedi Engineering with a Beskar handle) as a gift from the new Jedi Order to the Leader of the New Mandalorian Republic.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

You have to hand it to Moff Gideon, he was a great villain. Even though his beskar dark trooper armour enhanced his strength, I suppose it made up for the fact that he's literally an old man facing off against multiple opponents who are in their physical primes. And his moves were all his own, he has the fighting skill enough to keep up with Din Djarin and Bo-Katan at the same time. In that suit, he was absolutely *_kicking the asses_* of both Bo and Din, and would've killed them both on his own had Grogu and Axe Woves not interevened. I love how it took a literal light cruiser crashing into him essentially in order to kill Moff Gideon, as none of our heroes were able to do it, even together. Though, of course, there is always the possibility of Moff Gideon coming back. For starters, he could've definitely survived the explosion. If metal far weaker than beskar alloy survived the inferno, it's always possible that Gideon managed to get away in that air-tight sealed mechanised suit of his. We never saw a body or even a scrap of armour, and I doubt that he would've been completely incinerated given what he was wearing. An alternative theory could be that the Gideon that fought in this episode was simply another one of his clones brought online earlier than the rest, and that the real Moff Gideon is somewhere else. Additionally, the Shadow Council talked about a "Project Necromancer", which is supposed to produce some form of ultimate imperial leadership. It could be used for Palpatine, Snoke, or even Gideon to a lesser extent. It's always possible for Moff Gideon to return, just like Palpatine himself.

[@Exaris79]

Some one noticed on youtube that Gideon's clones don't have mustaches while the old wrinkled original version that talked to the Shadow Council still has his mustache on him. So it's likely Gideon's clone that died at the end of the episode and that he's still alive somewhere else.

[@johannesbowers7467]

There is something that everybody seems to keep forgetting..... NOT EVERY MANDO WEARS "FULL BESKAR" ! If you Remember from season one our boy started out with regular Durasteel Mando styled armor. His first piece (besides his helmet) was just a shoulder Pauldron. Only after his big payday did he have enough materials to upgrade to a full suit. Most do not get full Beskar, and might have pieces and parts. The imperials don't know the secrets of forging pure Beskar, and usually have Alloys, especially from mass production.

[@kentgladden4316]

These series (Mando, Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett)... are all pieces being assembled to fight Grand Admiral Thrawn's return. Mandalore being reclaimed will make it the centerpiece of Thrawn's plans to reassert the Empire. Except he'll be met by the combined forces of the Mandalorians, the remaining Jedis, the New Republic, & their allies. High octane Force wielders like Luke, Ahsoka, & Grogu gonna bust out the Juju. While the Mandalorians go all out against the Imperial forces. Reserve your tickets & get your popcorn!

[@CaIIMeVon]

Also one of the things on why the imperials got folded is i believe a lot of the mandos have full beskar armor but as time went on and beskar mines ran out they started mixing beskar with other less durable metals so everyone could still have beskar armor but it wasnt as strong the older beskar and couldnt defend like it either, at least if remember correctly that was a thing

[@jiffypoo5029]

Everyone read way too much into what The Spies meant. It was Bo-Katan's Mando Spies that she recruited around the camp fire to scout the planet and those Mando Spies infiltrated an Imperial Base.

[@paradox_4094]

It's a biblical reference, so i could forgive it because most people wouldnt know that to begin with.

[@LemGray]

They already wrote season 4, and I think there's going to be a significant time jump. Also, there's a Rey movie coming out set 15 years after the sequels that's about a jedi academy. The consensus is that Grogu will probably be a big part of that movie.

[@elnar71]

Grown up Grogu could be the cool substitute teacher for the academy, teaching all the younglings close combat skills he learned from his dad.

[@NialasDubh]

I would have bet my next year's wages on a post-credits scene with Gideon's broken body among the rubble suddenly showing signs of life. I remain unconvinced that he's actually dead.

[@HellBrYnger]

and now, the spinoff where IG-11 tries to get back his original ways, kinda like a reverse Robocop, mwahaha >:D scene of the final episode: IG-11 walks away, over the next hill, the city on fire in the background, IG-11 dragging Karga's dead body in his right claw, cut to the final shot when IG-11's red eyes turn towards the camera and as the last episode fades into darkness, you just hear an echoey, robotic "yes."

[@red_five1542]

So because of the deal that Din made with Carson, he and Grogu will become like Batman and Robin. In many other series upcoming every time the Republic gets in a tight spot, Carson will turn on his bat signal, and Din Batman and Robin Grogu will show up.😎 (And maybe Dave filoni too 🤠)

[@neonom1024]

I like that in S1E1, The Mandalorian was introduced in an opening iris transition (saloon door opening), and S3E8, he (and Grogu) is shown in a closing iris transition.

[@hawkeyes2814]

Moff gideon's armor is Beskar and dark trooper tech which is why he has super strength. The dark troopers are droids. He was planning to make an army with this tech including the force, they would me OP

[@splintert4231]

Koska Reeves causing one trooper to crash into the one she just disabled, followed by the platform slide, reverse and knee jet action, was a major high point for me. Now I want her to have a spin off. Like a buddy cop story where she is paired with a Watch member.

22:11 Gideon was only able to crush the Darksaber because he was wearing a suit of mechanized Beskar armor 😥😓. Maybe the Darksaber can be remade 🤔🤯🤩! And instead of being for the ruler of Mandalore, maybe it could be for Mandalore's champion and chief protector 🤔😉!

[@PhatGuSS]

Also Spies is an old term that means Scouts, basically and Grogu will be the first to tame the Mythosaur!!

[@bidwell13]

Gideon did say that his armor was next generation Dark Trooper mixed with Beskar. So he took all the mechanical parts of the Dark Trooper suit and incorporated it into his Mandalorian Beskar suit. I don’t think the dark saber gets rebuilt. I think the Mandalorians are going to move past “trinkets” as Gideon called them and learn to live and rule together. As we found out in the last episode Din Djarins group didn’t believe in the dark saber ruling Mandalore. I feel if they don’t make any more seasons of Mandalorian that this is the best ending for the series.

[@boazenipper6776]

i think the best part of the episode was the aerial fight scene where bo katan is slicing and dicing with the darksaber and the armorer is just like “it’s clobberin time”

The Armorer took the sick and wounded Mandalorian survivors to the orbiting fleet, and that's why she wasn't there at the ambush. It was decided between her and Bo-Katan before they headed to the forge (with those who were still able). There were no Mandalorian spies at all; the title "The Spies" referred to Elia Kane and the Imperials in the holo-meeting.

[@extraleague01]

[@chainreactions5807]

It probably wrapped up so they can concentrate on Ashoka for awhile but I don't think they'll shelve Mando for awhile b/c it is the bread and butter Star Wars series for Disney+. The show also sets up a lot of the "gap" stories between Return of the Jedi and Force Awakens. I just want Mando/Grogu to be somehow involved in post Rise of the Skywalker. Jarin might be old but Grogu will be "young" in his lifespan....also need to address the fate/status of Mandalore.

[@QuiJon]

By the time we see a season 4, we are going to get Ashoka. I feel its likely that they wanted to wrap up the Gideon storyline while last episode hinting at thrawn. And season 4 will be more likely tied into newer events from Ashoka.
