In-universe, people in armor have a pretty lousy record as warriors. People in bathrobes, on the other hand…
To be fair, active energetic giant carnivores have been pretty standard features on both Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. Maybe we can get Boba on his Rankor fighting alongside the Mandalorian ptero-dragon riders as Grogu’s personal bodyguards. At least until Grogu masters the Dark Saber and leads the clan into battle riding the Mythosaur.
As soon as the mother (or father I suppose) got eaten I thought “great - they created some orphans, now what?” I was pleased they adopted the foundlings, but training them is going to be interesting.
I’m not convinced Bo Katan isn’t just playing along, but I think seeing the Mythosaur did effect her.

The random shooting, the guys riding their jetpacks, two dads having their kids fight each other. This was 100% a redneck BBQ.
Mythosaurs, Beskar, and The Way made Mand’alor great, let’s keep all three.
that’s it, i’m dead, i died now, i hope you’re happy.
Definitely a few WTF moments in this one, starting with:
“Don’t shoot it - the best plan is to follow it back to its nest.”
[30 seconds later]
“Yeah, this plan never works.”
THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SUGGEST IT?
Also - exactly how long was that kid living in the space dragon’s gullet?
Followed by the typical stupidity of following it into a narrow, winding canyon instead of flying above it in a straight line, where you might not use as much fuel.
Also, why didn’t you use the grappling hooks and wing nets the FIRST damn time?
Them Mandalorians is cool-looking, but they ain’t the brightest ones in the universe.
My favorite ones were the two firing their flamethrower at each other and the fire just canceling out like it was a Dragon Ball Z blast.
Yeah, the “training” scenes were far, FAR more comical than they thought they were. All it would take is adding Yakety Sax as a soundtrack to make it a comedy. It actually helped to reset my expectation level. Everyone will be disappointed by the end of the season if this is the level of writing they’re bringing to the show.
This season has made it clear that they definitely should have left Grogu with Luke, never shown him or Luke again, and moved on.
I feel like Disney almost certainly pressured them to bring back baby-Yoda and continue the storyline even though they allowed the show-writers to end his storyline in a dramatic and natural way.
I mean, it was a painful decision for Mando to hand off Grogu to Luke and I think that while it was difficult and the future would be unknown, it was wise and the best decision in the moment for him.
I kind of hate that they undid it during the Boba Fett show and now we have to keep going with this. It was a chance for Mando to move on to other things.
Grogu’s storyline HAS ended. He serves no purpose in this season, at least not yet.
What would Grogu’s Mandalorian helmet look like?
Well, there are three designs he can choose from; bucket, bucket, or bucket.
So what happens with his ears?
I presume they give him a Batman style helmet, only shaped to his head.
Just pull them down like Sister Bertrille on a windy day.
Or just cut a couple of slits in the sides and let them poke out.
Does the Mandalorian creed imply anything about not letting anyone see your ears?
