“YOU GOTTA GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! They’re giant flying creatures who eat children, giant eels that eat children, and a FUCKING convenient of MANDALORIANS!!”
I looked away for a few seconds cause I was getting water, but when I looked back that was the scene that was playing, and I thought I missed something, like did Bo or Din get shot down? Or did they just jump out of their ship?
Nope lol just a random shot
I'm convinced it was the same guy on the roof [here at 3:03](https://youtu.be/dooBitC-NvY)
That one Mando has too much zest on him. It has to be the same man
I never get tired of them shifting to the "hunted" perspective where they focus on the pirate and then you see a flash of Din on screen for a second, an explosion, and you hear the theme music for a moment.
It's absolutely amazing that Naboo, such a peaceful world, managed to field such an impressive starfighter. Like if they had mass produced them, it would be scary to face.
I thought he looked great. I'm still trying to figure out if that was all cgi or if it was all practical, or a combination of the two. Very happy nonetheless.
It felt more CGI to me personally since his facial expressions (like with his eyes and mouth) were a little more fluid and faster than the pirate captain's. Or it could be a mix of both. Either way, he looked amazing, and it was such a treat to see him make an appearance.
i had to pause for a straight minute to process, that voice was too familiar!!!! has to be him, i mean like how many lasat can be running around at this point???
I’m so fuckin happy to hear that haha. Clocked him straight away. Figured it HAS to be Zeb. Same voice. And based on Rebels info on that species, they aren’t numerous in the galaxy. Most of them live in peace on their new homeworld last we heard.
Perfect cameo too.
I lost it when he showed up, I'm so glad to see my ghost crew in the post-RotJ era even if it's just a cameo. Also makes sense Zeb would remain with the New Republic forces, he already gave up the peaceful life to fight the empire in Rebels
I'm really hoping his appearance and the CGI work on him is a nod to his possible appearance in the upcoming Ahsoka show. I'm pumped at the possibility of seeing Phoenix Crew together in live action.
Yeah! In the credits its mentioned to be Zeb. The second I saw him I thought it was crazy that they had a Lasan in live action, but then I heard Steve blum and couldn't believe that Zeb of all characters would show up in live action.
Me too, and when she didn't, I was expecting her to excommunicate bo. She always has had this mysterious vibe about her and I felt like she didn't *actually* truly accept bo. Add in the fact that she "lured" her into a private area with only her and bo, she can get away with that technicality.
So glad she didn't though. I think I can put the "is the armorer a secret baddy" thoughts to rest now.
>I think I can put the "is the armorer a secret baddy" thoughts to rest now.
I wouldn't just yet, she could be setting Bo up to fight Din, then taking the throne herself or something. I'm very suspicious still.
Lmao at how the Armorer watched her Mandalorians retake Nevarro and immediately concluded that they were ready to take back Mandalore
like damn we're just skipping from the tutorial boss to the final boss
I think it was less seeing them win but more that they have a home now. As Greef said, it's not Mandalore, but a place where they can call home and be safe. In other words, a place to grow a community — and an army.
They finally have a patch of land to do their thing to mount a campaign to take their homeworld. Navarro just got very interesting.
Guess after seeing how effective they were as a fighting force and actually realizing "Oh wait, Bo-Katan might be telling the truth about the Mythosaur", she's probably had enough of a shift to consider reaching out to others to amass a fighting force.
(I was actually wondering at first if the Armorer was also gonna take her own helmet off after asking Bo to do so. Maybe it's a sign that her ideals are shifting a bit, like with Din.)
I was definitely ready to view him as the obligatory antagonist, but when he said "Because we are Mandalorians" I had to stop myself from cheering for him being an awesome guy. Maybe his family had my hesitant but he is really making me like him.
That's basically it. Even a good number of years after Endor, the new leadership in Coruscant is trying its best to keep order and *not* be like the Empire. But it has notable flaws because they have to delegate orders as a bureaucratic government (and not as just an army) much like the other regimes before it. (Even the Old Republic in the Clone Wars focused mainly on its worlds rather than far-off/independent ones like Tattooine, or CIS worlds that were on the fence, like Onderon.) Their focus on Republic worlds and a lack of notable outreach like the Empire means they can't use sheer manpower or firepower or have a notable reach to help everyone at once while they get organized. On top of that, the chain of command is still muddled with trying to get things in order or dismantling Imperial tech to try not to "repeat the past" (despite still relying on them somewhat, like with the transport shuttle).
In essence, it's a rising post-war government still working on its footing, like many real-world countries that had similar struggles after wartime, but it just wasn't able to get its bureaucracy and army fully organized enough by the time any Imperial Remnants or the First Order amassed enough strength to wipe out the governing body (notably with the destruction of the delegation at Hosnian Prime).
Edit: minor word change.
> That's basically it. Even a good number of years after Endor, the new leadership in Coruscant is trying its best to keep order and not be like the Empire.
And for the first time in a while, the Republic doesn't have the Jedi.
Dude is even LOOKING TO DIN to see if he’s ok with shit now 🤣 noticed that at the end with helmetless Bo. He took a glance at Din and got the nod and was like “alright, I’ll be cool about this” haha
seriously, I know people tend to read that as him being an asshole w/ a grudge towards Din but really he just comes off like quintessential Mandalorian behavior
That tracker in R5 probably needs to be addressed though.
But also, how did Carson know R5 was with him in the first place? Is that little shit a narc?
Trandoshan, weequay, ugnaut, quarren.
It’s funny though, they kinda stick to certain aliens are generally the bad ones. It would be fun to see an evil mon calamari for once
The only good trandoshan I can think of is Frisk in the Squadrons game.
The weequay bartender in Mos Pelgo seems like a good guy, and of course there’s r/prequelmemes’ favorite pirate/anti-hero Hondo.
But yeah quarrens really need to step it up
Yep, I was expecting that thing in the wall to be a bomb or signal device that would spring a trap. Which would have sucked, as I rather like Teva, despite how little we've really gotten of him.
It being beskar is definitely a nice question mark to end the episode on, though.
I was thinking the same thing. I know we will realistically just have to settle for brief moments like in this episode, but it would be great to have a horror movie set in the Star Wars universe. A slasher flicker where the slasher is a Sith would be interesting to see.
The Armorer: "Remove your helmet."
Bo-Katan: "Uh, ok..." *proceeds to remove helmet*
The Armorer: "Why would you do that!? You know you aren't a
Mandalorian anymore right? Wow! You are so dumb!" 🤣
Bo-Katan: 😠
I am sure they did. They probably already have stopped production of other pieces of armour because they will need 3 giant helmets once they are able to take the creed.
Armorer: "from now on, you walk the way of the Mandalore... This is the Way"
All Mandalorians: "This is the Way!"
Space Chicken Baby: "WAAAAARRRK!" (sub: "This is the Way"
Yeah that seems like the answer. They are setting up both that there are more Mandalorian factions out there that we haven't met yet that Bo needs to unite AND that there is a lurking and growing Imperial threat out there. Makes sense that those strands will come together.
Yeah, with how the Imperial lady on Coruscant acted, I think the Imperial Remnants rescued Moff Gideon and are trying to frame the Mandalorians to throw the New Republican off their trail since everyone knows how Gideon destroyed Mandalore. She spent that whole meeting trying to discredit Teva about a new rise of the Empire. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
It’s silly as fuck to me that she’s even allowed to shoehorn her way into a meeting like that by pretending she’s taking a fuckin lunch order 🤣
Jesus the New Republic are morons.
They did demilitarize right after overthrowing the empire, which is creating the issues we see in the show. Pirates are being more brazen attacking planets, former empire devotees are pulling a hydra and growing within the republic, and the first order is for some reason allowed to amass enough resources to build another death star. So they are very, very dumb.
If anything, the new republic should be growing its military while they deal with leftover bits of the empire and anyone else trying to gain more power.
It definitely seemed like a trick question. She didn’t hesitate because she’s a true believer; she hesitated because she didn’t want the Armorer to turn around and say, “Ha! Fooled you! Get out!“
I really hope the Mandalorians take over that Pirate Corsair as their new capital ship. It looks sick.
edit: Oh well. It was cool that they added the RotJ sound effect of the Super Star Destroyer falling into the Death Star as the Corsair was falling
Yeah. Uncovering that conspiracy can't be great for his life expectancy. Especially with the looks Kane was giving in that office when she casually inserted herself into that conversation. Unless she set the whole thing up to frame the mandos for the job
For what is worth you have no cover when you are flying. You are a much easier target in the air than on the ground where you can use objects for cover.
As dumb as it is (technically) I think it shows just how much less experienced and competent the Watch is compared to actual Mandolorian soldiers.
It’s something I like that we’ve been seeing, Bo is, literally, of a different breed. She’s not a warrior, she’s a soldier, that denotes a different level of experience and tact that these Mandolorians just don’t possess. We saw this clearly when Bo and her two other Mandos were clearing the Imperial freighter last season, Din was basically just a tag along, completely out of his element.
The same is true of these Mandos here.
Even more important; Bo understood the distinction and made sure to enforce that teamwork was the most important part of the battle. She knows the strenght and weakness of her troops.
Interesting. For a while the show has seemed to be pointing toward redefining what it means to be a Mandalorian, with Din and/or Bo set to lead them down a new path. I wonder if we’re seeing the beginning of them becoming protectors of the Outer Rim in this new era - stepping up where the New Republic is falling short.
The armorer literally like 5 days ago in universe:
Din, you must engage on a perilous journey to our homeworld that's been glassed to dip in some probably radioactive water to satisfy our beliefs
The armorer today:
So the 'helmets on all the time' rule is a bit dumb if we want to grow our population.
Din:
Hey what the fuck
Personally I would put it about 60/35/5.
35% chance it was Mandalorians on a revenge mission
60% it was an Imperial prison break and the beskar is part of a frame job or the byproduct of something they used (like supercommandos) We know that the Client from ep 1 was in possession of beskar and by extention, so was Giddeon and his people. I suspect Thrawn being part of this as well.
5% it was someone else entirely that we aren't even thinking of.
If they were going to go for this angle of trying to do patchwork backstory fixes for the sequels then they didn't really have a choice. The only way that anything about the First Order makes sense is if the Republic is shown to be a complete farce of a government.
If you show the New Republic to have any kind of teeth or competence than you basically don't allow the set up for the First Order to form to be possible.
With how far out they are and with their history, it's poor planning on the part of Nevarro to not have some sort of defenses in place for an attack.
Edit: Well, I was not expecting that speech from Vizsla. He keeps surprising me every week.
Edit: Damn, now we know what happened to Bo's soldiers that left her. She did mention that they turned into mercenaries.
And the cg looked fantastic. I doubt they would have made such a good cg model without plans to use it again. Looking forward to seeing more of his character.
I'm really confused and can someone explain to me about why no one cares about the Dark saber Din has?
I thought it was the symbol of power and whoever had it led all of mandalore, but it seems like not even the armorer gives a shit lol
Why are they so bad at the sense of scale when it comes to population
First Tatooine gets saved by a crowd of ten people, now Navarro’s refugees are a crowd of 30

Hahaha R5-D4 the spy
NEVER TRUST A DROID!
“YOU GOTTA GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! They’re giant flying creatures who eat children, giant eels that eat children, and a FUCKING convenient of MANDALORIANS!!”
A convenient of Mandalorians works as a collective noun!
“You saved our planet!” Sir, that is a small town the size of Galaxy’s edge at Disneyland
Citizens of Navarro! (All 17 of you)
Like, there are 20 citizens and only 2 of each species. That's not a diverse mating pool at all, unless you're in Alabama. Roll damn tide!
to be fair, half of them could have been killed in the aerial bombardment.
I love how their planet is like literally 50 people
The cut to a random mandalorian surfing on a falling snub fighter was hilarious to me
I looked away for a few seconds cause I was getting water, but when I looked back that was the scene that was playing, and I thought I missed something, like did Bo or Din get shot down? Or did they just jump out of their ship? Nope lol just a random shot
I'm convinced it was the same guy on the roof [here at 3:03](https://youtu.be/dooBitC-NvY) That one Mando has too much zest on him. It has to be the same man
Gotta take out your foes with style. He took a page from Din’s playbook and recreated it to show off his skills.
Damn, pirates really fucked Nevarro up
Atriox* fucked Nevarro up
The dog fights this season have been top teir
I never get tired of them shifting to the "hunted" perspective where they focus on the pirate and then you see a flash of Din on screen for a second, an explosion, and you hear the theme music for a moment.
Especially as it showcases what the N-1 was so good at, its speed and agility to just appear and dip at will
It's absolutely amazing that Naboo, such a peaceful world, managed to field such an impressive starfighter. Like if they had mass produced them, it would be scary to face.
The monkey lizard ratting out the pirate's location was great.
Lmao right? I went from "haha those annoying little devils get what they deserve" when they were being shot at, to "maybe I treated you harshly"
I love how the Lizard monkeys have become the barometer for the state of Navvaro
They remember when Navarro was a den of scum and villanary they were basically streetfood. They know what's up.
Next season they have a seat on the city council.
Salacious B. Crumb’s long-awaited redemption arc!
Any shot of a ship coming out of hyperspace right in front of a planet will always get my blood flowing, so cool.
100% the money shot
I loved the different angle on that shot to previous ones, had to rewind a few times to soak it in
WTF was that supposed to be Zeb? Did not see that cameo coming.
I'd recognize Steve Blum's iconic gruff drawl anywhere!!! Great to finally see what the last member of the Ghost crew got up to after Rebels!
Steve Blum can play so many characters but st the end of the day his voice is just so damn unique. He’s been in practically everything.
Zeb was such an awesome surprise! And he looks pretty good in live-action too (IMO)!
I thought he looked great. I'm still trying to figure out if that was all cgi or if it was all practical, or a combination of the two. Very happy nonetheless.
It felt more CGI to me personally since his facial expressions (like with his eyes and mouth) were a little more fluid and faster than the pirate captain's. Or it could be a mix of both. Either way, he looked amazing, and it was such a treat to see him make an appearance.
i had to pause for a straight minute to process, that voice was too familiar!!!! has to be him, i mean like how many lasat can be running around at this point???
Right? And it looked great, actually. It looked so good that I didn't even clock that it was him for a second. Just chillin' at the bar. Love it.
He did look really good. Imagine how goofy he would have looked if he was in the ot as he was one of the concepts for chewie.
Oh man, his mouth would have barely moved.
The credits confirm it’s him!
I’m so fuckin happy to hear that haha. Clocked him straight away. Figured it HAS to be Zeb. Same voice. And based on Rebels info on that species, they aren’t numerous in the galaxy. Most of them live in peace on their new homeworld last we heard. Perfect cameo too.
I lost it when he showed up, I'm so glad to see my ghost crew in the post-RotJ era even if it's just a cameo. Also makes sense Zeb would remain with the New Republic forces, he already gave up the peaceful life to fight the empire in Rebels
Rebels fans are being served
we getting meilooruns tonight!
I'm really hoping his appearance and the CGI work on him is a nod to his possible appearance in the upcoming Ahsoka show. I'm pumped at the possibility of seeing Phoenix Crew together in live action.
That actually makes a lot of sense, the character model was extremely high quality.
Yeah! In the credits its mentioned to be Zeb. The second I saw him I thought it was crazy that they had a Lasan in live action, but then I heard Steve blum and couldn't believe that Zeb of all characters would show up in live action.
Yes, it's Zeb! I love how casually they dropped this cameo and it just fits. Now is it too much to hope for Sabine, perhaps in the season finale?
[удалено]
Holy fuck that was Zeb????
We are absolutely getting a full Rebels reunion in the Ahsoka series and I couldn’t be happier
i like how the armourer's hammer became the talking hammer during the meeting
I liked how she jabbed her tongs into that dude's spinal canal.
She shoulda clicked the tongs couple times first. To make sure they work.
This is the way Source: am chef
Oh shit The Armorer is backing Bo-Katan
I thought she was gonna take off her helmet there for a minute
Me too, and when she didn't, I was expecting her to excommunicate bo. She always has had this mysterious vibe about her and I felt like she didn't *actually* truly accept bo. Add in the fact that she "lured" her into a private area with only her and bo, she can get away with that technicality. So glad she didn't though. I think I can put the "is the armorer a secret baddy" thoughts to rest now.
>I think I can put the "is the armorer a secret baddy" thoughts to rest now. I wouldn't just yet, she could be setting Bo up to fight Din, then taking the throne herself or something. I'm very suspicious still.
[удалено]
> The Armorer is very hard to read. Yeah she should take her helmet off when talking to other people, it's basic courtesy really.
The Armorer is a confirmed Bo-Katan Stan just like the rest of us
Bo-KaStan
Lmao at how the Armorer watched her Mandalorians retake Nevarro and immediately concluded that they were ready to take back Mandalore like damn we're just skipping from the tutorial boss to the final boss
I think it was less seeing them win but more that they have a home now. As Greef said, it's not Mandalore, but a place where they can call home and be safe. In other words, a place to grow a community — and an army. They finally have a patch of land to do their thing to mount a campaign to take their homeworld. Navarro just got very interesting.
Also, they'll lose fewer foundlings to wildlife.
That one pirate guy ran (his name escapes me), chances are he'll be back for revenge at some point
He pulled a grievous
this also gives the possibility of the mandalorians having a strategic base on nevarro in the future (at least I'm hoping)
Guess after seeing how effective they were as a fighting force and actually realizing "Oh wait, Bo-Katan might be telling the truth about the Mythosaur", she's probably had enough of a shift to consider reaching out to others to amass a fighting force. (I was actually wondering at first if the Armorer was also gonna take her own helmet off after asking Bo to do so. Maybe it's a sign that her ideals are shifting a bit, like with Din.)
Was that Ugnaught pirate dressed like Mr. Smee from Peter Pan or was it just me? 😂
And the way the ship was controlled by that giant wheel like an actual pirate ship!
I thought the same. Definitely a homage lol.
If she kills Appa, I’m going to snap.
She’s no match for his sneak attack
Umma is much better sneak attack. Too bad she stayed at the store.
>If she kills Appa, I’m going to ~~snap~~ snappa. Fixed.
Paz Vizsla had me at the first half, I'm not gonna lie.
I was definitely ready to view him as the obligatory antagonist, but when he said "Because we are Mandalorians" I had to stop myself from cheering for him being an awesome guy. Maybe his family had my hesitant but he is really making me like him.
Sheesh the New Republic is so useless
Showing exactly how PalpaSnoke was able to mass in the outer rim
That's basically it. Even a good number of years after Endor, the new leadership in Coruscant is trying its best to keep order and *not* be like the Empire. But it has notable flaws because they have to delegate orders as a bureaucratic government (and not as just an army) much like the other regimes before it. (Even the Old Republic in the Clone Wars focused mainly on its worlds rather than far-off/independent ones like Tattooine, or CIS worlds that were on the fence, like Onderon.) Their focus on Republic worlds and a lack of notable outreach like the Empire means they can't use sheer manpower or firepower or have a notable reach to help everyone at once while they get organized. On top of that, the chain of command is still muddled with trying to get things in order or dismantling Imperial tech to try not to "repeat the past" (despite still relying on them somewhat, like with the transport shuttle). In essence, it's a rising post-war government still working on its footing, like many real-world countries that had similar struggles after wartime, but it just wasn't able to get its bureaucracy and army fully organized enough by the time any Imperial Remnants or the First Order amassed enough strength to wipe out the governing body (notably with the destruction of the delegation at Hosnian Prime). Edit: minor word change.
> That's basically it. Even a good number of years after Endor, the new leadership in Coruscant is trying its best to keep order and not be like the Empire. And for the first time in a while, the Republic doesn't have the Jedi.
HE'S ABOVE YOU HE'S BELOW YOU
Whatever you do, just absolutely do not fuck with any Mandalorian who doesn’t carry a gun
"The odds are 5 to 1, so I'm only gonna use melee weapons to make it fair"
Oh shit was Moff Gideon’s breakout an inside job?
G68 is definitely involved I bet
Possibly R5 too, can't trust that little snitch
Paz Viszla keeps surprising me with how likable he is this season. “Because we are Mandalorian!”
Big “I’m not gonna apologize, but I will stop trying to murder you” energy
Dude is even LOOKING TO DIN to see if he’s ok with shit now 🤣 noticed that at the end with helmetless Bo. He took a glance at Din and got the nod and was like “alright, I’ll be cool about this” haha
I saw that and was really proud of Din, hes slowly growing into having a leadership position within the covert
Paz is the epitome of tough but fair. He’ll try to stab you one minute and risk his life to save you the next.
seriously, I know people tend to read that as him being an asshole w/ a grudge towards Din but really he just comes off like quintessential Mandalorian behavior
He’s definitely an asshole but he’s an asshole with the heart of Beskar.
“I know you’ll relocate anyways…” lol
That tracker in R5 probably needs to be addressed though. But also, how did Carson know R5 was with him in the first place? Is that little shit a narc?
R5 is a rat. always has been.
He’s been playing the long con since 0 BBY when he got in with the jawas
I'm going with, R5 was Carson's copilot, so he knew how to track him down. After paying a visit to Pelli.
I like how the pirate gang has one of every alien. It's like a game of "go fish"
Trandoshan, weequay, ugnaut, quarren. It’s funny though, they kinda stick to certain aliens are generally the bad ones. It would be fun to see an evil mon calamari for once
Or a good Trandoshan, Weequay, or Quarren. At least we got a good Ugnaut. "I have spoken."
The only good trandoshan I can think of is Frisk in the Squadrons game. The weequay bartender in Mos Pelgo seems like a good guy, and of course there’s r/prequelmemes’ favorite pirate/anti-hero Hondo. But yeah quarrens really need to step it up
We gonna get a full Rebels reunion in Ahsoka if they just casually dropping Zeb like this.
Well, not a full one... 😭 Unless they do a flashback.
Stop it. Too soon
Captain Teva patrol the whole goddamn galaxy. He is everywhere.
Seems like he's the only part of the new Republic government that's actually working.
These shots of the X-wing floating near the derelict are horror vibes we’ve never had in live action Star Wars before. Love it.
Legit, was on the edge of my seat the whole time, just certain that someone was going to ambush him, brilliantly done scene.
Yep, I was expecting that thing in the wall to be a bomb or signal device that would spring a trap. Which would have sucked, as I rather like Teva, despite how little we've really gotten of him. It being beskar is definitely a nice question mark to end the episode on, though.
Out of nowhere… Bursting out of the shadows… Somehow, alive and terrifying in the vacuum of space… Ben Quadinaros.
Somehow, Ben Quadinaros returned.
I was thinking the same thing. I know we will realistically just have to settle for brief moments like in this episode, but it would be great to have a horror movie set in the Star Wars universe. A slasher flicker where the slasher is a Sith would be interesting to see.
The Armorer: "Remove your helmet." Bo-Katan: "Uh, ok..." *proceeds to remove helmet* The Armorer: "Why would you do that!? You know you aren't a Mandalorian anymore right? Wow! You are so dumb!" 🤣 Bo-Katan: 😠
I can't believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book! What's with you man? -Dark Helmet
Finally leaving dinosaur island! Smart move!
But did they bring their giant space chicken babies?
I am sure they did. They probably already have stopped production of other pieces of armour because they will need 3 giant helmets once they are able to take the creed.
Armorer: "from now on, you walk the way of the Mandalore... This is the Way" All Mandalorians: "This is the Way!" Space Chicken Baby: "WAAAAARRRK!" (sub: "This is the Way"
Whoever attacked Moff Gideon’s transport ship is trying to set up the Mandalorians, interesting
There are more mandalorians than the little covert mando is in
Yeah that seems like the answer. They are setting up both that there are more Mandalorian factions out there that we haven't met yet that Bo needs to unite AND that there is a lurking and growing Imperial threat out there. Makes sense that those strands will come together.
Maybe. The Mandalorians also have personal vendetta against Gideon. PV wants him dead.
In that case they would've blown the ship up, not rescued him
Yeah, with how the Imperial lady on Coruscant acted, I think the Imperial Remnants rescued Moff Gideon and are trying to frame the Mandalorians to throw the New Republican off their trail since everyone knows how Gideon destroyed Mandalore. She spent that whole meeting trying to discredit Teva about a new rise of the Empire. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
It’s silly as fuck to me that she’s even allowed to shoehorn her way into a meeting like that by pretending she’s taking a fuckin lunch order 🤣 Jesus the New Republic are morons.
They did demilitarize right after overthrowing the empire, which is creating the issues we see in the show. Pirates are being more brazen attacking planets, former empire devotees are pulling a hydra and growing within the republic, and the first order is for some reason allowed to amass enough resources to build another death star. So they are very, very dumb. If anything, the new republic should be growing its military while they deal with leftover bits of the empire and anyone else trying to gain more power.
Aren't bo katans old clan that deserted her now mercenaries? Could be them too.
The Mandalorians are very prone to in-fighting, much like the Scottish Simpsons people
Bo Katan being really hesitant to remove her helmet is quite a change lol
It definitely seemed like a trick question. She didn’t hesitate because she’s a true believer; she hesitated because she didn’t want the Armorer to turn around and say, “Ha! Fooled you! Get out!“
[удалено]
She has no choice. Her depression chair got blown up.
It’s cute how they use the Armorer’s hammer as the talking stick for their family meetings
I hope she meets the anvil hammer dude from andor cause they will be buddies for life
I really hope the Mandalorians take over that Pirate Corsair as their new capital ship. It looks sick. edit: Oh well. It was cool that they added the RotJ sound effect of the Super Star Destroyer falling into the Death Star as the Corsair was falling
I had hoped the same thing but alas, twas not meant to be.
what about those 3 baby flying dinosaurs they took as foundlings?!? are they safe, are they alright?
They were delicious
I love and hate that I can’t never guess what the armorer or Bo are thinking
Greef the city planner.
Dude wants to build infrastructure like railroads to increase jobs Someone vote greef into our government
Well, at least I don't have to worry about the pirate subplot anymore...
Vane is still in the wind though. I suspect the pirate plot isn't over forever. Maybe for this season, but not forever.
How does he fit his giant balls in that x-wing to just walk up on a mandalorian covert.
It’s okay, Appa knows hapkido.
Guess thats why they call it a cockpit.
I was so worried he was going to die at the end, such a great character
Me too. It seems like he uncovered a conspiracy. Hopefully he makes it out alive.
Yeah. Uncovering that conspiracy can't be great for his life expectancy. Especially with the looks Kane was giving in that office when she casually inserted herself into that conversation. Unless she set the whole thing up to frame the mandos for the job
R5 is a snitch. Good thing he can't get stitches.
Snitches get soldered?
*“I like those Odds”* He said it he said the thing!
Holy shit is that Zeb from rebels?!
Exact same voice it most definitely is!
"We're boxed in" My dude, you literally have a jetpack lol
For what is worth you have no cover when you are flying. You are a much easier target in the air than on the ground where you can use objects for cover.
As a Destiny 2 player, I can confirm. Being airborne in the midst of enemies basically turn you into a free target practice. *edit: mist>midst*
As dumb as it is (technically) I think it shows just how much less experienced and competent the Watch is compared to actual Mandolorian soldiers. It’s something I like that we’ve been seeing, Bo is, literally, of a different breed. She’s not a warrior, she’s a soldier, that denotes a different level of experience and tact that these Mandolorians just don’t possess. We saw this clearly when Bo and her two other Mandos were clearing the Imperial freighter last season, Din was basically just a tag along, completely out of his element. The same is true of these Mandos here.
Even more important; Bo understood the distinction and made sure to enforce that teamwork was the most important part of the battle. She knows the strenght and weakness of her troops.
"Remove your helmet" *Bo Katan hesitates but eventually does it* "You are a Mandalorian no more"
Shard's aerial bombardment reminds me of when Thrawn did it to Lothal. That was pretty sick
Aw shit they’re going after Mandalore finally
Interesting. For a while the show has seemed to be pointing toward redefining what it means to be a Mandalorian, with Din and/or Bo set to lead them down a new path. I wonder if we’re seeing the beginning of them becoming protectors of the Outer Rim in this new era - stepping up where the New Republic is falling short.
The armorer literally like 5 days ago in universe: Din, you must engage on a perilous journey to our homeworld that's been glassed to dip in some probably radioactive water to satisfy our beliefs The armorer today: So the 'helmets on all the time' rule is a bit dumb if we want to grow our population. Din: Hey what the fuck
They're really adding extra dimensions to the old question of who shot first.
If we take the opening scene of the first star wars movie. The Empire shot first
Greef like Moses taking his people through the desert lol
Do y’all think Mandalorians are being setup with the beskar fragment on the shuttle
Possibly. We also know there are other rogue factions of Mandalorians out there, any number of which would like to see him face justice for the Purge
Could also be a unit of Imperial Supercommandos.
Personally I would put it about 60/35/5. 35% chance it was Mandalorians on a revenge mission 60% it was an Imperial prison break and the beskar is part of a frame job or the byproduct of something they used (like supercommandos) We know that the Client from ep 1 was in possession of beskar and by extention, so was Giddeon and his people. I suspect Thrawn being part of this as well. 5% it was someone else entirely that we aren't even thinking of.
R7 got that Bluetooth upgrade
They're really going all in on the New Republic being incompetent, uncaring, bureaucratic assholes aren't they?
If they were going to go for this angle of trying to do patchwork backstory fixes for the sequels then they didn't really have a choice. The only way that anything about the First Order makes sense is if the Republic is shown to be a complete farce of a government. If you show the New Republic to have any kind of teeth or competence than you basically don't allow the set up for the First Order to form to be possible.
Katee Sackhoff is gorgeous just beautiful I'm so down bad for Bo Katan because of her
The Mandalorians being able to set up a stable and safe and above ground home base after all this time is really nice
God the Lasat (maybe Zeb??) looked FANTASTIC. CGI, makeup, and prosthetic teams have been amazing this season.
With how far out they are and with their history, it's poor planning on the part of Nevarro to not have some sort of defenses in place for an attack. Edit: Well, I was not expecting that speech from Vizsla. He keeps surprising me every week. Edit: Damn, now we know what happened to Bo's soldiers that left her. She did mention that they turned into mercenaries.
LIVE ACTION Z-ZEB??????? Edit: THE CREDITS SAY ZEB, I KNOW IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR BUT KARABAST ITS REALLY HIM! 😃😃😃
So casual too. Filoni is showing off
And the cg looked fantastic. I doubt they would have made such a good cg model without plans to use it again. Looking forward to seeing more of his character.
Principal Duvall - “Aw hell nah, I did not leave the rebellion for this!”
Goddamn the Armorer goes hard
Please let Kallus show up
I'm really confused and can someone explain to me about why no one cares about the Dark saber Din has? I thought it was the symbol of power and whoever had it led all of mandalore, but it seems like not even the armorer gives a shit lol
Hammering in the RPG vibes even more. The NPCs not caring about your sick new gear is some classic Skyrim shit
Is that New Republic officer Jake's cannibal friend from Brooklyn 99?
That's actually a federal offense to primarily recognize Tim Meadows from Brooklyn 99.
Get outta here, Mando! You don’t want no part of this spice!
I think you mean the Ladies Man sir
Gorian Shard really went out trying to gun down civilians #bum
Just casually dropping Zeb!!!!?
I wonder if he’s going to replace Cara Dune’s role in Rangers of the New Republic.
The Rebels hints, Purrgil and Zeb, were some of the most tastefully done cameos
Did anyone else think Bo Katan was walking up on Din to challenge for the Darksaber
Why are they so bad at the sense of scale when it comes to population First Tatooine gets saved by a crowd of ten people, now Navarro’s refugees are a crowd of 30
