[@arieloliver3219]

I really hope they don't touch the plot of the sequel movies, in my opinion it would be better that they are trying to get an army of force sensitive soldiers using grogu's blood it would be better than just "let's resurrect palpatine!" Bc if that's the case let's resurrect anakin, padme, obi wan, yoda, that would just undermine the importance of death

[@GeneralPadron]

Luke Skywalker doesn't just use a lightsaber. He is using it through the force, as a Jedi should. The blade is hotter more stable. Deflected blaster bolts return with higher velocities and with more destructive and accurate power. Physical limitations due to the laws of physics are no longer a factor. Those droids were nothing. "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force." Darth Vader

[@jacobdean4833]

@@Meganuts100 I feel like Boba was tricked without anyone trying... He hunts Luke and Han. They almost kill him... Later in the future, he helps Mando get a child to Luke which overall helps Luke. The one he hunted and almost killed him. When Boba puts all of this together he is not going to like this.

[@kalamari1611]

Luke is probably the Republic’s Vader in any former imperial’s eyes who knows of him. To them he’s the guy who blew up the first Death Star, and was the last one to see Vader and Sidious. There are probably a bunch of rumors and legends exaggerating Luke too.

[@solidg3legend868]

I actually saw my dad cry when we watched this. He brought me up into watching and enjoying Star Wars as much as he did. And as we watched this at the end I did see him tear up and cry. I thought that it was because of the emotional moment between Din and Grogu, but when I asked he said he was just so happy to see the real and true Luke Skywalker the way he should've been handled. He didn't like any of the sequel trilogies or how they treated Luke and Mark. But when he saw this and saw Mark Hamill doing Luke the way he was meant to be he actually cried in happiness. In my entire life, I have only seen him cry 10 times, he hardly if not very rarely ever cries so that should say something about how special this episode really was if it was able to make him cry in happiness.

They may not have needed an introduction. At least in SW Legends Luke achieved a high level of fame/notoriety after the Empire fell, so much so that he had to conceal his identity at certain points. It's very possible they all knew exactly who he was and were shocked he had come personally.

I loved how scared he was of Luke. There's no way he's gonna try to get back Grogu. I remember when people thought Gideon would duel Ahsoka in the season as well, but Gideon really isn't a match for a Jedi especially for someone like Luke and Ahsoka.

[@OmenAhead]

dude he was a clown... he could only cut an H-wing with the dark saber to get out. Just a bit more useless and he could starve, trapped inside there. 😂 It's funny how they portraited him as a badass villian and in essence he did nothing. They should have taken notes from Rogue One's ending.

[@eltragon_yo]

He didn’t even have a chance against din. So... obviously not

[@thrawncaedusl717]

@@OmenAhead he was more of an administrator...

[@Biolaser27]

@@OmenAhead Gideon literally succeeded at every one of his goals before the entire Mando squad had to work together to take him down. He secured Grogu for enough time to let Pershing get some of his blood. Then when he likely knew Din would defeat him, he planted the seeds of conflict and animosity between him and Bo Katan by losing the Darksaber in combat. If it hadn’t been for Luke showing up, Mando and everyone else would have been slaughtered by the Dark Troopers when they got into the bridge. The entire point of Gideon’s character isn’t to be a badass fighter, it’s to be a calculating and intelligent strategist who can outsmart his enemies. Giancarlo Esposito already said Gideon plays a big part in season 3, so we’ll likely see him escape and keep scheming now that he has the blood from Grogu and doesn’t need to hunt him anymore.

Gideon preferred death to the possibility of being interrogated by a Jedi. A Jedi would not torture or kill him, but would likely extract the truth. That means that Gideon was afraid of what would happen when his unseen puppet master discovered the leak. I would predict that someone will get to Gideon in custody before he says anything. This all probably links up to the whole Palpatine-clone storyline.

[@johnweatherman5685]

I really wish " lack of vision and just pure greed" were what was at play. If it were, things would have corrected by now due to box office failure after failure. What's actually happened is people have been put in charge who view movies not an entertainment and storytelling but as mere tools for spreading ideology. So they ignore the fact these things don't make money because their very clear vision isn't about the story at all. I'm a fan of both franchises, and I really, really hope that at some point there is a "Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni" for Trek, but with Majel gone, I doubt there is anyone in a position to MAKE CBS do the right thing anymore. Gene was a HUGE fan of fanfiction and look how its being treated by CBS legal these days. I fear true trek died with Enterprise (although there appear to be some echoes in Lower Decks at least).

I really hope Disney makes the sequels non-canon and just continues after Mandalorian

[@lliaolsen728]

Yup. They really mistreated Luke's character by having him try and kill his Nephew. It doesn't make sense after he was so restrained when facing a father he never knew, that had done horrible things. While Kylo had done nothing and Luke's vision of him was pretty speculative.

[@abchandler4]

@@lliaolsen728 I still think most people are misinterpreting that scene honestly. Luke doesn't try to kill Kylo. Luke has a force vision which was obviously extremely disturbing, gets freaked out and ignites his lightsaber in reaction to it. When he does, he almost immediately realizes what he's doing, and turns it off. Problem was that Kylo saw him and misinterpreted the situation (ironic), and jumped to the conclusion that Luke was actively trying to kill him. He then reacts by going on a murderous rampage, burning Luke's academy and killing everyone inside. If he was already at the point where one thing would set him off to do that, maybe Luke's vision wasn't too far fetched... I dunno, I liked TLJ for the most part and I'll continue to defend it. That being said, TRoS is a hot pile of garbage that retroactively makes both movies before it worse, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don't delude yourself, the Mandalorian is building up to the sequel trilogy. There's already hints at that and there will be even more in later season(s) and the shows that the Mandalorian spawned.

[@Jungoguy]

At this point, Luke Skywalker would be a boogeyman for the Empire. And rightfully so. He infiltrated the Death Star to rescue Leia, one of the leaders of the Rebellion. He blew the Death Star, their Trump card, to space dust. He led the defense of Echo Base on Hoth and helped the Rebellion live another day. He faced down the might of Darth Vader and briefly held his own. He then bested Vader in combat in their next meeting. If I was an Imperial, I’d be terrified

It appears that he has fully realized his force ability here as well. Meaning he is likely more powerful that Vader was at the time of his death. (This is debatable) More mobile and “whole” at least. Not to mention Leia is supposed to be equally as strong with the force. They could probably take down anything.

Those dark troopers might be dangerous for non force users because they are hard to destroy and strong, but for a jedi they are like nothing. They are really slow and basically in this confrontation not really more threatening than as example a commando droid of the seperatists Edit: For those who are now writting how hard the dark troopers would destroy them or how much stronger they are than commando droids etc. I only said for a jedi, with a lightsaber they are not more dangerous, because they are slow and not immune to a lightsaber cut. I never said dark troopers are useless or weak just in this situation they are not more practical.

[@jchea1764]

That is sadly true.... In fact the commando droid's high agility or the magna guards... Or even droidekas would have posed more of a threat than these dark troopers

[@nishantjoshi5174]

@@jchea1764 Not really Separatist magna guards and dark troopers can't be compared. Dark troopers would have massacred everyone present there. They were far stronger than any human. Mando himself killed a single one and had trouble doing that. Luke killed them all like garden variety stormtroopers. Don't say those troopers lack agility. With high speed and efficiency they captured Grogu and left.

[@Lonestar_Hero]

These dark troopers are impervious to blasters and fire. More than likely only high ballistic rounds or explosives could harm them aside from beskar weapons (which arent even common anymore) nobody uses vibroblades/weapons very often anymore which seem to be a highly dangerous method for fighting a droid that is strong enough to tear your arms off like a wookie. If a dark trooper and a droid commando fought the commando would be outmatched completely. It's sword would be the only saving grace and even then may not be able to pierce the armor. I know for sure blasters cant so that removes 1/2 of their toolkit. Keep in mind dark trooper can still use blasters and have a jetpack also

Noooooo. Moff Gideon was not trying to off himself because he was scared of Luke. That is silly. He was trying to off himself because he didn't want Luke to find out the greater plan. He took Grogu's blood in order to create a clone. Whether he is assisting Palpatine to be cloned or doing some other Jedi clone (i.e. - cloning Luke from his hand like in the books). He knows Luke is the empire's big enemy and he knows a Jedi can read thoughts. He wanted to kill himself to keep the secret from Luke about Palpatine's return or whatever new clone the empire is creating.

Maybe Luke was just pragmatic. Yoda was extremely old, yet still a good teacher. He teaches Grogu, Grogu becomes a good teacher as well, there will be a Jedi able to teach new Jedi for hundreds of years when Luke is long since just a force ghost. Great way to preserve the Jedi ways into the long future.
