I think the Mandalorian really needs to stick with it's strengths. Which is good, fun, unpretentious, but tightly written episodic television which does a good job of exploring and having fun with the Star Wars mythos.

SpaceChampion Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Oddly, this ep was the lower rated ep of the series so far. https://screenrant.com/the-mandalorian-season-3-episode-3-lowest-rated-ever/ Edit: Never mind, it's just stupid IMDB ratings, not viewer numbers.

Rubicante Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Tough to transition from Andor back to this, and considering how Andor was a masterpiece, the comparison really isn’t fair. Most of the Coruscant stuff worked for me, although it’s hard to believe ex-Imperials, especially one’s who were still serving the Empire after the fall of the Empire, would be given such a long leash. I also don’t get the helmet thing. Can they never take it off, even when alone? Makes me think of having to wear a mask 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does in season one a couple of times, most notably when the murder robot has to heal him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The greatest redemption moment yet in Star Wars in the new Mandalorian episode? Spoiler Jar Jar Binks wasn't, after all, a secret Sith, but Ahmed Best returns as a badass Jedi who saves baby Grogu from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant So we got a few more tidbits about this weird Mando cult. Their eating habits/rituals and some do have kids. This is the way. For all that it was another too short episode, I quite liked it. Spoiler Nice theme between Jedi doing everything they can to save a youngling and the Mandalorians doing everything they can to save one of their kids. mormont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you want a serious answer or not, but the impression I get is that all their foundlings are adopted. ETA: unless I'm mistaken everyone in this cult except the Armorer are men. My guess is they are just adopting boys to bring into the cult as well. At least that's my current impression.

I spotted a few others who have helmets like Bo-Katan but without the Nite Owl paint. Spoiler And as we've seen in the new episode, Paz Visla apparently has a son. He could be adopted, I suppose, but while Bo referred to Din as Grogu's dad, Din himself called Grogu his ward, so this whole thing seems to be a bit fluid.

Yea, looking back at some of the scenes, I think you’re right, some of them are probably women. You can tell because they wear the booby chest plates like Bo Katan.

Werthead Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I think the new episode answered my rhetorical question pretty well. I guess they have to leave the helmets on but everything else is fair game. This episode was reasonably solid, although a bit cheesy that Jedi Best just happened to take Grogu through the exact same locations on Coruscant that they had to build for last week's episode. Frugal, though. Also, I appreciated the fact that they acknowledged the Mandalorian jetpacks are short-range things as they don't have massive fuel tanks, so they needed to find other ways to catch up to the monster (using the ropes, mostly). I get the impression they are building up to Grogu speaking for the first time. Not sure what his first words are going to be (he's already mangled, "This is the Way,").
