I can imagine pod racing fans would buy the engines to make replicas off the whole racer as well as custom one-offs like the Marshal's speeder.

"So Star Wars has dragons now." Actually the Krayt dragons have been a part of the lore dating back to the original '77 movie. - C-3P0 walks into a shot next to a Krayt skeleton in the Tatooine wastes just before he is spotted by the Jawas. - Obi-Wan imitates a Krayt roar to frighten the Tuskens away from an unconscious Luke as they're ransacking his speeder. In the Star Wars: Galaxies MMORPG game, Krayts were a major goal for PC's with hunting skills. They didn't tunnel underground but rather roamed the deserts and canyons on legs, but they were no smaller than what we saw in the TV show. And just as lethal. You do NOT hunt these things alone. They could be harvested for Pearls (as we saw in tonight's episode) that were worth an absolute fortune in the in-game economy. Jedi character PC's would drop major coin for them in the construction of their lightsabers. Crystals were good, but apparently pearls were better. MUCH better.

The Krayt Dragon in this episode is one of two subspecies: there's the smaller and more common Canyon Krayt Dragon, and then there's this one, which is the larger and much rarer Greater Krayt Dragon.

[@erikolson4148]

Tusken Raiders must go through a rite of passage into adulthood by killing a Krayt Dragon and taking the pearl from it's stomach as proof, which is also a symbol of status (I think). Most often it's a Canyon Krayt Dragon that has to be slain, and it's mostly the men of the tribes that have to go through the tradition into adulthood, but apparently there has at least one female exception that slew a Krayt Dragon because she was more independent than the rest in her tribe.

@@watsondillon1997 Favreau has, in the past, raved about the filmmaking process of MAD MAX FURY ROAD, a film which really elevated the art of filming practical effects and digitally enhancing/compositing them. It sounds simple but the nuance of technique and Miller's experience of shooting that specific kind of action is what made MMFR's SFX/VFX blending look so good. The FX in this episode of the show reminded me so much of MMFR (and also JURASSIC PARK). I don't know if they actually did a practical and digital blend (of the active assets) but the weight, texture, and detail of everything had a naturalness to it all which make me think they did. Or, maybe ILM is just, y'know, THAT good. Which is also entirely possible.

Yep. The Sarlacc takes a long time to digest its prey and they are usually still alive inside its belly. Considering that Darth Maul survived being cut in half (and was made into a much more interesting character when they brought him back for the Clone Wars), I don't know why Steven is so against a Boba return, or why he thinks it's highly unlikely he could still be alive. The guy didn't get much screen time in the movies, but the old expanded universe fleshed him out into a total badass.

@@Rocket1377 I think Steven's point was that Boba Fett's Beskar only covered parts of his body and so the Sarlaac's digestive system would have certainly burned into Boba's many unprotected parts.

[@abcdefghi2749]

You can kind of put it together with the information they gave you in the episode. The sarlacc pit that is now empty that was eaten by the krayt Dragon? It was on Tatooine? Obviously, the sarlacc that ate Boba Fett in Return of the Jedi was the same sarlacc out that is empty that was eaten by the krayt Dragon. Boba Fett somehow caused the krayt dragon, after the sarlacc disintegrated in the dragon's stomach, because he was still wearing the armor, was able to cause the krayt dragon to spit him up and then the jawas found him in the desert and he either willingly gave up his armor in exchange for his life or it was taken away from him by the Jawas which then led into what happened in this episode.

[@Minotaur1975]

The Sarlak was eaten by the dragon monster not too long (possibly only a couple of days) after it ate Boba in Episode 6. Boba was able to escape during that. He was still alive because the Sarlak takes a long time to digest anything.

[@Scorpio.1989]

I've been waiting for this reaction since 6:30 this morning (California time)

[@ChildOfTheWilderness]

In the Aftermath book series (featuring Cobb Vanth), it was revealed that the Sarlacc was badly damaged by the firey debris of Jabba's Sail Barge raining down after it exploded. The burning metal caused more of the Sarlacc beneath the sand to be exposed, forming gashes in it flesh. Jawas came and started plundering stuff from within, like skeletons and weapons and armour. They found Boba's armour inside, there was no mention as to what became of Fett himself.

[@TheWabbitSeason]

Climbing out of the Sarlacc Pit was part of the Twin Engines of Destruction (Jodo Kast vs Boba Fett) storyline. They also did it in Robot Chicken. The show explained in a roundabout way what happened. Fett was stuck in the pit "slowly digesting over a 1000 years" but the Krayt dragon saved him (and the others) when it ate the Sarlacc and took over it's home. Perhaps Fett lost the armor trying to escape from the Krayt dragon or while stuck in the Sarlacc Pit. The Jawas found it and picked it up.

[@koorssgamer]

I don't think it needs to much explanation. This show is a masterpiece because it explains stuff indirectly. You have mando inside a stomach with a acid coming out alive (establishes that beskar armor protect against acid), the cave the dragon lives is from a sarlac (stablishes that there are monsters that can kill a sarlac, indeed, here are one that killed one). Just connect the pieces

[@johnmiller7682]

Remember, Mando said, if anyone sees him without his helmet, he can never put it back on. That's probably what happened to Boba Fett.

[@Mama-Dee1969]

Steven I had the same reaction WAS THAT BOBA?!?!?!?! Also Loved that Timothy Oliphant was in it playing a Marshal when He played on on Justified lol. SO glad you got this up so soon :D Cheers

[@craftsandnails]

I dont know what i love the most, the Marshal or Nikki's Baby Yoda 😍 please tell where to buy it (even if i live in Mexico) thanks for the reaction guys i love yours from first season.

[@charmedoriginal5923]

That was 100% Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett at the end. I hope we'll see a lot more of Timothy Olyphant { Santa Clarita Diet } as Cobb Vanth. John Leguizamo was the voice of Gor Koresh for those wondering.

The Speeder Bike that the marshall is driving looks suspiciously similar to either Sebulba's or Anikans pod racer from Episode 1. Sebulba's pod racer was in pieces in Tatooine the last we saw it, something the Jawa's would seem to patchwork back to something that was serviceable, even if only half the pod racer was salvageable.

I swear the dude that punched Mando in the face is the same type of person who would punch Superman if shooting doesn’t work🤦🏽‍♂️

[@James-kd2qm]

Glad you guys are reacting to this as it’s my favorite show right now ! This episode is actually one of my favorites so far and I hope we see the Marshal again cause I love his character already. Not sure how I feel about Boba coming back but we will see where the story takes us.

[@loriwilliams6670]

The best Mandalorian Season 2 Chapter 9 reaction I've seen.👍 It seems like the Dragon 🐉 ate the Sarlacc and took over it's cave pit. Maybe that's how Boba escaped in addition to the strength of the Baskar. It looks like the lower half of Boba armor is missing??? Fun fact: The speeder was one half of (or looks like)Anakin's pod racer? Can't wait for next Chapter.. Stay safe😷😷

[@lonelybanshee8593]

I think the general idea is that acidic digestive juices don't affect the beskar armor (as seen when Mando is covered with it), hence Boba's survival. Not sure how he got out of the Sarlacc, but I assume it just coughs up crap it can't digest.

[@romaugustine729]

Absolutely loved how U guys opened the The Mandalorian season 2 😂 hilariously laughing 🤣 you Nikki and Steven are 1 of a kind plus been waiting looking forward 2 seeing the new episode of The Mandalorian season 2 that sand creature was awesome & May The Force Be With You All

[@UncleMilo]

I'll be repeating things, I'm sure... but here's what I noticed: 1) R5-D4 is the actual R5-D4 from Star Wars, he even has scorch marks from where he blew the motivator. 2) The Sherriff was flying in a modified pod from a pod-racer. 3) They made the noise that Ben made to scare off the Tuskins to save Luke. 4) The JET PACK MISSILE! On the toy and we never saw Boba use it... the original toy could shoot the missile. 5) We saw the same skeleton in the deserts in Star Wars. 6) The PEARL! 7) You bet your ass that was Boba Fett's actor! It would seem he would be Boba because if he was a clone, he'd be Rex's age (as shown in Rebels... only older)

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

glad the show is back, and glad you guys are back reviewing it.

6:50 those are vibro-axes that those Gamorreans are fighting each other with.

[@alexachipman]

I was Nikki when watching "WHERZ THE BABY" every five seconds

[@Fett411]

The big ball-things the Sandpeople cut out of the dragon are Krayt pearls that grow in a krayt Dragons lungs and are extremely valuable due to their rareity

[@dHybrid_351]

This episode is just FUN! I love your robes and nerdism Mr. Steven and Mrs. Nikki :) "Good. Gooood. Let the hate flow through you."

[@erikolson4148]

Just like a regular dragon breathes fire, the Krayt Dragon spews acid from it's mouth.

[@Boysndahood22]

Lol I been waiting for y'all to react to this even though I watch it already 🤘🤙

[@ninondelanklo7482]

It was Temuera Morrison at the end. He played Jango Fett and all clones in prequel movies. And as we know Boba was his clone too SO yep - this is Boba!

[@Undertaker606]

Boba* Boba*
