Frey family reunion Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 So I guess the next episode is rounding up most of the Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters, and maybe (hopefully) Cad Bane. The latter of which I just want to see how and who pulls him off in live action. And then the big fight for the last episode. Ho hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Spoiler So, if the Group Din Djarn is part of doesn’t consider him Mandolorian any longer why did they allow him to keep his armor and the Dark Sabre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Din and Bo-Katan both seemed to assume Gideon was the rightful owner of the Darksaber before Din defeated him, so it seems that ownership belongs to the winner regardless of their status as a Mandalorian.

RumHam Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I love that he cut himself with the Darksabre, that was a really nice touch. "What weapon caused such a wound?" you didn't even look at the wound! 3 minutes ago, Kalibuster said: Best episode by far of Boba Fett! Well yeah because it wasn't one! They probably should have just changed the title card and surprised us with a The Mandalorian interlude. Like won't it be weird if someone starts to watch The Mandalorian a couple years from now and misses this because it's technically an episode of another show?

Kalbear Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It is funny to me to see how badass, awesome and cool Mando is compared to Boba Fett now. Boba Fett rocking the dad bod and wanting peace and respect is so...dull. Really makes me wonder why they greenlit this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo-Katan got up in Boba Fett’s grill about his possession of Mandolorian armor. Every piece of Beskar that Din wears was earned by him. What I do think is interesting is that they made a point to say that Bo-Katan was a member of an old Mandalorian house and she used blood as a way to justify possessing the Darksaber and ruling Mandalore. And here is Din, "uncrowned king" of Mandalore who's a nobody and likely not even of Mandalorian descent. I am curious if this will come up in his show.

I think that there is a positive to making the character leave the helmet on. Watching Pedro constantly emoting would probably take down the cool factor of Mando a bit too.

Well, they managed to make one of the weirdly more popular character incredibly lame both by comparison and in their own right, all while sitting around one of the most boring planets in the star wars universe.

But that's also the case for Boba Fett, and in one ep of this with Mando we got him fighting more actual badass fights, actually flying off planet, more humor, cooler call backs and better guest stars. It's not just the helmet. It's that for a good chunk of the Boba fett show he was shown taking a bath, his best fight scene had him getting his ass kicked in a robe while being saved by Cyber-newsies, and he spent more time feasting than doing anything cool. At least fennec does cool shit regularly, but Boba fett the show fails so far in one spectacular way - it is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'd be happy to never see a desert planet in Star Wars again at this point. I'm probably just overthinking a throw away line of dialogue by Stephen Root's character about how Tatooine used to be covered in water, but I did wonder if that was foreshadowing something. Maybe water returning to Tatooine somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
