This is the way!

[@CaptainAmercia]

Pretty sure it's been two years in universe as well since the last season which explains how the Armourer was able to reformed a new Mandalorian enclave along with the massive development we see with Nevarro City from Season 1 to Season 2 and finally Season 3 becoming this beautiful city over the course of three seasons. Also Purrgil finally in live action, Space Whales for life and a clear connection to what we last saw in Rebels.

[@PourJudgment]

Plus, implied Bo-Kata's crew went over when she lost the darksaber

[@arthurzeer753]

It was 2 years of training until grogu went back to mando

[@Troop3r666]

Why would Din wait 2 years to start trying to "atone" for taking off his helmet. My guess is this is set right after we see him leave in Book of Boba Fett where Grogu wants him to press the "go fast" button.

[@Sanguinius876]

@@Troop3r666 He hasn't just started trying to atone. He didn't go to Mandalore because it presumably is toxic (which is what he's trying to figure out) so he was looking for evidence that the mines were still there. This is how he got the Crystalized piece of writing, during his search for information. Mando has already been looking for ways to get to the mines and atone, it just so happens that he hasn't been successful, at least till he got the writing from that one guy he mentions.

[@liftedmarco4976]

Favreau clarified he meant two years out of universe. So we still don’t know how long Grogu trained with Luke

The opening swerve with the non-flashback was so brilliantly done!

[@donnatroy5381]

For the first minute maybe, but I dont know how anyone still thought it was a flashback the moment they showed Paz (and the Armorer not sounding any younger, but thats a bit trickier)

[@chiefkaha5650]

Brilliantly done? Are you joking? That whole first 5 mins was a joke. They made the Mandos look like weak fighters when they’re suppose to be the best fighters. Nothing they did even scratched the alligator lol. What a joke

[@CulinVlau]

Since Din has to redeem himself by bathing in the sacred waters of Mandalore, I imagine water plays a role in the ceremony of joining the Creed.

[@isaquinos_vlogs]

I mean the armorer was going to put water on the initiate before the whole space gator attack

[@DiscoRaptor]

My son saw the Purrgil before I did... and was like "Dad they were with Ezra! Is Ezra in this?" 😁

[@Tn.back.roads.77]

I think the water ritual is more of a bravery thing. Like knowing it's there is part of it and showing you're not afraid to stand there and receive your helmet.

[@ketchup016]

I get you, but in that case, why would they kill it? If they have sacred water on Mandalore, it might be more like a baptism.

[@JessAnderson1988]

it's entirely possible they just recently started living on this planet and didn't know the creature was there at all.

[@MDestron2282]

Would definitely be a fun way to explain why Mando showed up that exact moment. "Yep. The yearly slaughter is right on time"

[@GPrez03]

Grogu looked so offended being called a bad baby 😂

[@rofocal]

On Bo, I think also she’s over the dark saber. There was a lot of bitterness in her voice when she was talking about why her force left her and the way she said they’d follow him it’s almost like she’s starting to feel their ties to those rituals impede what’s really important. This is an interesting curve in her arc. When we meet her first she’s with a group that violently believes the Mandolorians aren’t respecting tradition enough

[@dphalanx7465]

I'm with Jay--Bo Katan always seemed to me to have an undercurrent of mild contempt/condescension towards Din ("my slightly slow country-cousin"). Why isn't she challenging him right here and now? Unless...Din's reputation is starting to get around. This Mando stood shoulder-to-shoulder with *Black K* and *Boba Fett* ...and they _outshot an entire crime cartel._ A body might think twice about messin' with that sort of heat...🤔

[@MarcusMapua]

Anyone else feeling slight "antagonist/villain vibes" off of Bo???

[@GSUShane]

@@MarcusMapua I'm betting that the Living Waters aren't what's under the Civics Center, but instead Katan's setting up Din to confront something dangerous.

“I trust this show to have the payoff” yeah, the finale’s of these shows are pitch perfect 👌

[@SequenceBreaker64]

I love this episode. Nothing crazy happens, just collecting side quests before the adventure. Reminds me of season 1, but in a good way.

[@Angel_Love6680]

Well Season 1 entirely is a good way because This Is The Way. Also what do you mean nothing crazy happened? Mandalorians vs Space Gators and A full on Space Astroid Battle in 1 episode is more then crazy. That is like both S1 Episode 6 and S2 Episode 1 combined!

[@anthonygordon9483]

Yeah I didnt mind it either. Its the peace before the storm, catch up with all the characters so we dont have to later on.

[@Terranova667]

We may See Sabine but I think they will save Ezra for the Ahsoka series along with Thrawn

[@thedarkknight2221]

It’s been just over 2 years since the last season and it was worth the wait because DIN IS BACK BABY!!! I love that we are learning more about Mandalorian society, how even though they have been around since before the Jedi they are also incredibly fragmented, and also kind of fickle. They should’ve followed Bo-Katan! She is not only of royal blood but also the best person to lead her people. But unfortunately too many Mandalorians follow different and almost outdated ways. The Children Of The Watch are far too conservative and traditional to look past removing their helmets, no matter the circumstances. For God’s sake he just saved his people from a giant space crocodile and they still shun him. Meanwhile the “regular” Mandalorians are so attached to the myth of a single legendary weapon that even though they know Bo is a worthy leader they still only follow the wielder of the Darksaber. Honestly I think Din should either expand his own clan beyond just him and Grogu or just take up Greef Karga’s offer and be the new marshal of Navarro. On a brighter note, seeing the Purgill aka hyperspace whales was amazing and Grogu hugging the little droid smith was SOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

I watch basically all the reaction videos of these Star Wars shows and you guys take the cake, love the references throughout they crack me up and you let eachother enjoy it so well, big ups boys

[@ketchup016]

The Armorer's long pause after Din said he'd be redeemed has me side-eyeing her. At some point either Bo-Katan or Din are going to try to reunite all the Mandos (maybe to reclaim Mandalore) and I don't think the Armorer has any interest in that. I like that she's still pretty morally gray to us, because so is Bo-Katan when you look at her whole life. Makes them interesting characters.

[@Kellie_McDixon]

I totally thought that was a flashback too. And I’m with Jay…team run away from the scary giant alligator maybe?

[@richardrobinson1651]

I understand why Bo Katan is so miffed. Could there be anything more sad and lamentable as living in a big azz castle all by yourself? Just one poxy droid who'd rather just sit out on the landing pad, waiting for something to come along? If Katie Sackoff needs a bit of good loving to make her feel better. I'm trusty.

If they can't take off their helmets how do they change from the small one when young to a larger one when older?

Pretty simple---people just wanted more Boba Fett in their Boba Fett Show. The Din sidequest did take up two whole Eps. out of a less than 12-part run. I liked the Mandelorian prequel mini-series, but I agree---if you're going to do that, make up for it with a couple more BF eps. on the back end! I don't know what they thought people were gonna think?!?

[@brianewing5778]

Space Dooziers...perfect!!! The ONLY thing I wished is if Boba would've given Mando a thank you gift after the events on Tatooine and we could've seen Din use a seismic charge or two in the asteroid field. Would've been a tough fit in that tiny ship, but would've been great!

The 30 minute episodes feel shorter and shorter every season. I just feel like we're missing 10-15 minutes of character work. Maybe let some characters and shots just exist. Let us be in the world a little bit.

[@LordSplittawig]

What did the Armorer pour from that vial at the forge, at the beginning of the episode... It has to be something that reacts to the alloy composition, and perhaps makes it stronger, more resilient, or maybe even more uniform in color and appearance... "It's Mandalorian seed." Oh... Okay. 🤔... And the Darksaber...? "Don't question it." You know what? You're right... Let's just forget about this whole "understanding things" thing. But, okay, this whole "Mandalorian seed" thing... Are we talking like an intentional donation, or a secretive harvesting sort of thing? Do the Mandalorians even know what they're actually wearing? Do they even know where their "desire to penetrate defenses" even originates? Is there any way to make me harder than a high-powered laser projectile, without using all this seed I've been using? So many questions!

[@ohnhai]

Admittedly I'm not good at the subtly of human interaction. But even I could pick up on all the unspoken "soon!!!" in Bo Katan's "Goodbye Din Djarin". That was getting home and picking up on 'vibes' from the wife and asking her "what's wrong ?" and getting that '...Nothing.' You know damn well it's not 'nothing' and it's time to either RUN and or hide the knives...

Okay so my theory is at the very end of the season Din is captured. And Grogu has to find his way back to auntie Ahsoka, gets a lightsaber. Learns a bit about the force and then communicates to her the need to go get his father. And then that's where the Ahsoka show starts. I don't know. Maybe that's wild..

Also I think she didn’t try to take the saber because in her mind she thought it wasn’t worth it/didn’t really mean anything. Like she said if you have it people will do whatever you want. But the unspoken implication was it doesn’t mean they’re truly loyal to you. She needs Sabine to boost her confidence again. I also like your theory about Din needing to be rescued this season. The creators did say their power dynamic would start to shift. But I wonder how Grogu would take the lead? Maybe Din’s moment of trouble is public and lots of people see. Or maybe only Grogu and Bo or another ally witness it and tell other people and Grogu somehow communicates an idea for a rescue plan. Or he’s just so sad and dejected that the other Mandos take pity on him and help.
