We’ve seen snippets of flashbacks to the day his village was massacred. If he was a child during the Clone Wars, then it was probably Separatist droids that killed his parents.
Wow, the new one this week is solid. Great episode.
Team Mando has ball intercepted, Ugnaught running back sacked just at the ten yard line, Team imperial recovers the ball , Mando offensive line no where to be seen
The first weapon that Cara took out of the Mandalorian’s weapon locker appeared to be a thermal detonator. I’m thinking that the next episode might start with her throwing it out of the shot-out window at the massing of Imperial troops.
Cause of cinematic rules of suspense, suppose. 
So Baby Yoda is turning to the Dark side? Because I’ve never seen anyone not Dark do a force choke on anyone.
But man, that was a good episode. Apart from the total lack of comsec on the commlinks. Jesus, Luke & 3PO were able to communicate securely on the freaking Death Star a few years earlier, now a few bike troopers can pick up everything the Mandalorian is broadcasting.
I’m certain Dr. Forrester is referring to Episode 6 when he says “This episode”. Not everyone knew the new episode was going to drop 2 days early, not everyone gets to watch it within 6 hours of it dropping.
So the 3 characters he bested were Clancy Brown (Fezzik), Natalia Tena (Inigo), and Bill Burr (Vezzini, though apart from the baldness, that one’s pretty weak).
No, Luke did it to the Gamorrean guards at Jabba’s palace at the beginning of ROTJ. So it’s an available move in the light-side skillset.
Also, it’s just a specific application of a regular power. There’s no real difference between using the Force to lift a rock and using the Force to squeeze a throat.
Ah, you’re right. I just checked, and he definitely chokes them.
Amusingly, the intro for ROTJ now includes a warning for “Tobacco Use”. All I can think of is they’re referring to Jabba’s bong.
Sure, but it’s still a moral difference. Though I guess it’s better to force choke an enemy who is fighting your friend than it is to demonstrate the Force to an agnostic or incompetent Imperial officer.
And I have to say, I’m totally loving all the cameos from previous Star Wars movies in this, even though I’m sure I’m missing a ton of them. The droid serving drinks in Herzog’s lair was the same model droid in the Jawa sandcrawler in Ep IV.
You’ve obviously never had children. All toddlers are dark side monsters.
I’m not sure how much I like the season overall. I generally hate baby yoda and the season has focused too much on him. With an 8 episode arc it seems like there were a lot of wasted moments between the episodes that matter (1, 2, 4?, 7, 8) and they could have told a deeper more interesting story then just wandering off.
I loved that Moff Pollos called the space stroller a pram.
That was Werner Herzog, not Giancarlo Esposito. Herzog was brilliant in that whole scene though.
“I would like to see the baby.”
“Uhh, it is asleep.”
“We all will be quiet.”
Seeing Baby Yoda using healing power reinforces my belief that ET was a force user.
I couldn’t really tell what was going on, but it totally looked like Moff Gideon’s crew attacked first. Why? They killed everyone BUT the good guys!
At this point in the timeline the empire is broken up and the first order has not formed. I would guess that the various Moffs are operating independently and see each other as competition. All Gideon wants is the baby and he will kill everyone that isn’t on his team to do it.
Not totally impossible. They arefrom the Star Wars galaxy, after all.
I am not sure who’s team those speeder bike troops were on? I am pretty sure that they were there when Mando’s team arrived. However, now that Herzog is dead, they will probably align themselves with the new Moff in town.
True. Plus his troopers were a lot spiffier than The Client’s.
Yup, Herzog’s guys were often shown sitting down and laying about. Their armor was also dirty and banged up. They were just hired guns. The new moff in town seems to be running things as if the empire was still operational.
It does seem a little odd that as soon as Herzog reported to Moff Gideon, he killed Herzog and all his troops. But maybe he’s just cleaning up loose ends and wants no one with any sort of former rank around - just himself and stormtroopers.
Those were the Death Troopers first seen in Rogue One as Krennic’s bodyguard.
