The Mandalorian Season 2 Emotional Finale REACTION - THANK YOU DISNEY AND LUCASFILM!

[@swabee4843]

Those last 10 minutes of this show just "Rescued" an entire franchise.

[@Ragnarswe]

No.. I will never fogive Disney for the sequels! I loved this episode though, thank you Favreau! Luke is Luke and not some hermite drinking green milk...

[@aspecttnd]

@@Ragnarswe we aren’t talking about Disney, we’re talking Star Wars. As far as we’re concerned, John and Dave are not a part of Disney they’re a part of Star Wars, and they are (with an amazing cast and set of directors) saving the reputation of the name. If Disney stays out and let’s them do what they want, I think we’ll be ok.

Watching it live I didn’t like the music or the CGI. Watching it back the CGI is actually ok and I love the music, the Grogu / Mando theme is beautiful. A stunning 10 minutes that I’ve been waiting over 35 years for.

[@mattclovdahl5247]

To me this episode retconned Luke Skywalker for one it showed Luke to be the Bad ass we always wanted to see and in his message to Din about protecting Grogu with his life . Could set up why Luke was so broken after the loss of his students. He may have promised their parent's or guardians the same promise he made to Din . Not being able to keep that promise is enough to break any man

[@greenkidd529]

the idea of making Luke lose faith int he force is a bold idea for a sequel Luke..the problem was the execution of it, it came off as lazy and SUPER CAMPY! A better way of making Luke lose faith in the force is maybe, han and leia suspect Ben is turning to the darkside, but Luke having turned Darth Vader to the light arrogantly trusts in the force, this time it doesnt pay off and ben is sdeuced by the darkside, making Luke lose his way and severs his connection to both the trust of his friends, family and the force making him go to exile but NOPE, instead his reason is "NEPHEW MIGHT BE EVIL...MUST..KILL..NEPHEW IN..HIS..SLEEEP!" "MUST...DRINK..ALIEN..TITTY"

The prequel trilogy didn't have that magic nor the sequel trilogy. Seeing this singular episode was something special for me. I sat at the edge of my seat hunched forward and excitedly consuming every second of this series. I felt things I hadn't felt since I was on the couch with my pops watching the original trilogy.

For a lot of us, Star Wars, was a bonding experience with our dad. Specially being a woman, for me (as the oldest kid in the house), was very important. My dad is a very quiet and reserved man and Star Wars was our moment. Years after, I get to have the same moment, with my brother, who was much more younger than I and who can't conect like I do with my dad. So, I introduce him to Star Wars, and there was another hardcore fan. With The Mandalorian, we both get to do the same, with my nephews. Three generations crazy about it. So, I totally feel this reactor at seeing Luke (he was a lot of more calm than I, who screamed my pulmons out 🤣).

[@tylerpoirier947]

@@rominamartinez5544 right on! I'm glad you and your pops were able to have that experience. I know it can't always be easy for a dad to bond with a daughter because of the gender divide we have created as a society BUT that is another conversation entirely lol storytelling in any medium has always been a bridge for people whether it's a father and daughter or two tribes trying to barter for food and land. Storytelling connects us and to hear some executive who is completely out of touch say that it's out of place to be emotional about a story or character is obviously out of touch.

[@davidwilliams4837]

Please, true Star Wars fans, THANK Filoni and Favreau. We've waited 40 years for this moment. We endured the destruction and shaming of Luke in TLJ, knowing, above all, that Luke is a TRUE hero, a man of virtue and kindness and faith. Luke does NOT give up or give in. In spite of all, even Yoda and Kenobi telling him it was impossible, Luke overcame the Emperor to bring Anakin back. Luke IS the Light side of the Force; in spite of his power. The Mandalorian understands this. The danger was corruption, temptation from power. Luke has overcome this. He can use Force powers most are not able to resist because he is PURE. We can quibble all we want, but this was beautiful and fitting. I'm still in shock. THANK YOU! And, to me, Din IS the embodiment of the Mandalorian ethos. He is young and naive in his journey, but he is a man of honor, a true warrior. He should not be shamed or "replaced" with Fett as many say [I love Fett returning to his roots in the extra-credits scene]. Mando is a special character and I appreciate the show and what he brings just as much as the redemption of Luke. I'm so f*cking happy.

[@sleepnaught]

Agree on all points. Luke represents the purest form of the light side of the force. From the time he was a kid on Tatooine and until this moment in Mandalorian, he was a kind hearted, selfless person who always put his family, friends, and mission above himself. Like you said, he never gave up or gave into despair. He believed there was good in every person, no matter their past. And that no one was lost forever. That's the Luke I know and love from the OT and in Mandalorian. I, too, hope Din stays on as the main character for season 3. After all, he made a promise that he will see Grogu again. He will not break that promise.

[@davidwilliams4837]

@@sleepnaught Wonderful comment. Thank you. Agreed.

[@seph13x]

I agree with you on almost all points and I certainly am no fan of TLJ....... however one of the few things that does ring slightly true to me is the old Luke we saw in TLJ. My experience in life has been that no matter how awesome a person is in their prime, age ruins everyone in the end. Show me a single person in elderly years that isn't in some way or another a pale shadow of their younger selves. It's just reality, Luke in his 60s is just (at least realistically) not going to be the rock of confidence and control that he was in his prime starting around RotJ and the following years. No doubt that Luke in his prime would never go into hiding and be bitter. Middle age crisis is a real thing that most men go through. To see an elderly Luke with no flaws as if he's in his prime would have felt like a comic book character......however as I said even though Luke wasn't a problem for me in TLJ.....I hated so much other stuff in that movie anyways

[@CrayCruz]

Exactly! Kylo Ren was not 1/10th the bad ass that Anakin was and he saved the baddest man in the galaxy. He faced all obstacles and was triumphant. Enough with the sequels, I'm just too happy to get a proper, true picture of one of the best heroes in cinema history. Thank you Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and all the directors and storytellers who brought back Luke in proper fashion. Awesome!

Ruin Johnson has earned that name. As you mentioned Luke never gave up on his father even as he was dying. Years later Luke senses that his nephew might turn to the dark side so he tries to murder him in his sleep. As far as I'm concerned episodes 7-9 are bad fan fiction and don't exist.

That's exactly how I felt. After the episode ended I was in awe, followed by sadness of the realization of how much more of an impact it would have been to be in a theater with fans and hear the crowd gasp as they see the xwing and then cheer when Luke reveals his face.

For five minutes I was no longer in 2020 losing family members to the pandemic, I was 12 again. I know it was only five minutes, but that's all I wanted. Thank you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.

[@ironhead108]

Great, sincere reaction, brother! I'm 43 but felt like I was 5 years old as soon as that X-wing flew across the screen. I knew it was Luke. I had dreamed of this exact outcome as soon as Ahsoka said a Jedi may come for Grogu. But I couldn't have known it would be this good. What an absolute triumph. And like others have said, this actually felt like a real christmas gift; the best I've received since childhood. Great vid!

[@voyager7]

I'm 49 and saw ANH, ESB and RotJ "live" as they each hit theaters. Standing in line, staring at the movie posters outside the theater with wide eyes begging the line to move and the show to start. For the first time since Jedi, I felt that again as I watched this episode. When the X-wing flew past, I went silent. When the b/w screen showed a light saber I got hopeful, when the green saber showed in colour I was a kid again, and when the cowl pulled back to show Luke I was soaked in tears. THIS is what Star Wars is, for all the Kathleen Kennedys of the world who would instead use the franchise just as a vehicle for their agenda...this touches the hearts and minds of fans who connect with the humanness of the characters and the wonder of their stories. Favreau et al deserve applause and thanks for what they did in 2 seasons, and arguably, one episode, to give rebirth to an entire intellectual property that was rendered impotent after three 'sequels'.

[@demon007mdc]

This Star Wars scene is the most talk of all the other Star Wars films. This scene made me cry at the same time felt with relief that they were able to save Star Wars. Star Wars is not just any ordinary sci fi film. It’s also an epic drama, and I’m proud to say that I’m a Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old. Thank you Jon Favreua.

My thoughts exactly... Movies tried to be to cute and misdirection. They just should have closed the Skywalker saga the way fans could have enjoyed it. Rey was going to be the successor to him, but Luke's moment was stolen by it being a force projection. At least to me.
