As I saw pointed out in another forum, Mando is having a mid-life crisis.
Yeah, they explicitly said the blade was getting more and more heavy.
But my point about using it was that if you aren’t force sensitive, when you are swinging it around you are pretty likely to put your leg out kid.
I presume that was a womp-rat we saw in Beggar’s Canyon? Disappointed it didn’t get bullseyed.
I assume so (and assumed that there would be one) but that one looked much smaller than a thermal exhaust port.
Speaking of cameos, I totally missed this one:
Sure, but there’s a difference between bounties set by a legitimate government or law enforcement agency, and a bounty set by a crime lord. Bounty hunting in general might be legal, but Jabba saying, “I want someone to kill Han Solo because he lost a shipment of my illegal narcotics,” was probably breaking a few laws. Well, at least under the Old Republic - clearly the Empire didn’t much care.
Im sad i didnt see any reference to this on the YT shows
Wow, that was a great episode. Ok it was more Din than Boba, but still I enjoyed that more than most movies.
I’m curious about the cult Mandalorians hiding out in the undercarriage of the ring. Can’t they be seen by passing ships there? You’d think Mandalorians would stand out to someone that spotted them. And does Din really care about getting back in their good graces? It seems to be at least #3 on his priority list right now, after Grogu and helping Boba Fett.
As others have said, Din’s new ship seems very impractical but at least it’s extremely fast, that should be handy.
I’m very curious if Din A) Knows where Grogu is and B) Will be allowed to see him. Luke probably isn’t as caught up on the “no personal attachments” thing as his Jedi predecessors.
There’s “spotted”, and then there’s “recognized”. There are probably a lot of people and a lot of activity in the underside of the torus. I don’t think anyone would be passing by any particular part of the underside in a ship close enough and lingering long enough to spot them and figure out they’re Mandalorians instead of almost any other humanoid with helmets on.
He asked, was told “it’s impossible”, and walked away. Hard to know if his expression under the helmet was dejection or “Challenge Accepted”
A bit of Chekhov’s starfighter vibe there.
They showed the sun and shadow squares at the beginning of the shot. Orbitals don’t need shadow squares, they get night just by part of the ring facing away from the sun during normal rotation.
Another question about the “ringworld.” It looked like one could just sort of…fall out of the undercarriage. Do we presume there’s a forcefield holding everything in?
Tatooine was outside Republic jurisdiction during the prequels, as demonstrated by the legality of slavery and Republic credits being no good out there, so as daimyo Jabba was essentially the law unto himself.
It seems to be pretty much the same in the post-Empire era - I assume our two Space Cops were only in the area as escorts for the passenger ship.
So was I the only one that thought the “gift” for Grogu was shaped like a tiny Grogu head? because I think we might get Grogu in a Mandalorian helmet next episode and I cannot fucking wait.
No. (extra letters)
Perhaps not. Mando had to use the jetpack to get back up on the bridge when he fell.
Really, the entire Star Wars galaxy needs OSHA.
There’s still a hint in episode 4 that the New Republic has had some inroads into Tattooine public life. The fact that gladiatiorial arena fights are a thing of the past (even if it makes Black Krrsantan sad and nostalgic) feels like something the NuPubbies would impose.
But this thing is tiny. Far smaller than even an orbital. It is maybe a couple of miles wide.
Yes, agreed. The wrapped up “gift” that Mando was staring at on the passenger ship clearly resembled Grogu’s head and pointy ears.
(Edited to make it clear that I’m agreeing with @Darren_Garrison, not arguing, 
)
Thinking about it, I’m surprised the other Mandalorians let Mando keep his armour. Their armour is tightly linked to their identities, and since (in their eyes) Din is no longer a Mandalorian, I’d expect that they’d strip him of his sacred beskar and melt it down to make something nice for the foundlings. This is the way.
Or at least, they’d try…
I imagine they would’ve had to kill him to get it off of him.
That’s kind of my point. I’d have thought they’d have taken a position of “one way or another, you’re leaving the armour here.”
