#Mandalorian #Episode 6 #EasterEggs
Now I know this is probably going to be one of the most controversial episodes of the mandalorian. It seems like a pointless side quest, it’s got some distracting cameos, and some very distracting cameos. I’m sure all of you have thoughts we’d love to see down in the comments. For me, I thought it was a lot of fun, and it did a solid job moving forward the season. But first, let’s get into these easter eggs.
The episode was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, and it’s kind of sequel to her last episode, which introduced Bo Katan and her mandalorians back in season 2. That episode also featured quarren and mon Calamari, who begin this episode.
Back to the episode. We open with a ship belonging to the quarren. So the quarren are an aquatic species who share the hopeworld of Mon Cala with the mon calamari-you know, this guy [it’s a trap]. The quarren are always, always the bad guys, and the Mon cala are always shown as the good guys. The mon cala supported the republic in the clone wars, and then the rebellion in the galactic civil war.
And they’ve always been at odds with the quarren. There’s even a great clone wars arc about the prince Lee-Char becoming king of his people and leading them through the clone wars-all great stuff. Lee-char was in power until well into the rebellion, and in the Star Wars allegiance comics we see that the Mon cala monarchy is still alive and well decades into the future.
I’m bringing all of this up because there is a Mon cala prince in this episode, and I’m wondering if he might be the future king Ech-Char, who Leia meets with just prior to the rise of skywalker.
Anyways, I love the design of the quarren ship. It is shaped like the head of a queen but it also has the bulges on the outside. These are like the design of the mon Calamari capital ships that we saw in Return of the jedi. So the planets' two species share some design techniques.
And the interior is also very cool. I love how, since this is an aquatic species, the captain’s chair has the option to be underwater. And they bring her this like fish martini in a nice glass, just so they can dump this fish in the tank. It’s the kind of detail that makes the world feel rich and lived in, without having to explain every corner of the galaxy.
The ship is going to Trask, that’s the planet from the season 2 episode the heiress which like I said was directed by bryce dallas Howard and introduced us to live action bo katan.
Doug: Oh yeah, the one with the frog lady.
Yes, the one with the frog lady. And the happiest moment is Star wars. [how do I live]
Keeps ad
So they’re taking trade routes to Trask. And you might remember the taxation of trade routes being mentioned in the opening crawl; to the phantom menace. Basically, there are hyperspace lanes all throughout the galaxy that kind of work like highways. Just like we use turnpikes for shipping goods, the hyperspace lanes are used for trade between planets.
So then they run up on an imperial star destroyer that has been seized by Bo Katan’s mandalorians. This is not the same ship that took in the heiress, but we do see that ship parked at the end of the episode.
On the ship we see Axe wolves and koska reeves, who we also met in that episode. But Koska Reves is played by Merceds Varnado, aka snoop dogg's cousin, aka mercedes mone, aka sasha banks [bank statement clip]. And notice that she bars the symbol of the night owl on her pauldron. That’s the sect of female mandalorians that traditionally follow bo katan.
The captain's name is shoggoth, which is probably a reference to the HP lovecraft squid monster the shoggoth. Kind of on the nose for a squid face, but a cool homage to the creatures that inspired the kinds of monsters e we see in Star Wars. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

How did this season get worse?
@@alexanderwilliams799 hater it to fye
Where is the super cut of Ryan selling everything!!! 🎉🎉
Murrys wigs. Nice goodfellas reference
LLoyd's cameo was basically a guy saying, "Don't blame me I voted for Darth Tyranus" and I just love that...
He said he was pro democracy then simped for a glutinous former monarch.
@@fffx2 reminds me of a certain political leader of a certain country hmmm
@@DeagleGamesTV True, he had two other scenes where he does nothing except drop exposition
@@fffx2 tf does her being fat gotta do with anything 😂
Donald Trump has the same initials as Darth Tyranus, same kinda feel
The voice on Bo-Katan’s ship and in the Monorail-like tube is actually Catherine Taber, AKA Padmé’s voice from Clone Wars
Nice!
It was actually my Mom
😊😊😊😊😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice
@@salmeza85 nice
Another line that I think did a bunch of heavy lifting, is when Bo-Katan said “too much Mandalorian blood has already been spilt by our own hands.” It’s why she never challenged Djin for the saber, and I think showcases why she’s the best leader for this group. It shows that she wasn’t willing to harm one of her people for a symbol, and that she’s holding Mandalorian life above all else. It really honors the growth that she had as a character throughout Clone Wars and Rebels, while also defining her as a person now.
I see what your saying but I still think the best story would be the foundling with no royal ties leading to a united mandalore rather than look the royals have power again Bo-Katan is a great character but I just like the underdog story.
@@Havel_LordBear If din is going to learn how to lead, learning from bo katan would be the best choice at this point. Bo has the skill, the will, the experience and the political connections. Din currently has none of those, so what better way to is there, than to gain all that, interning for bo katan? Uniting mandalorians and retaking mandalore and killing moff is bo's unfinished character arc from clone wars and rebels.
@@tigerlancer I think this episode showed that Bo Katan was useless finding the droid problem and Din lead and found it out
Except she had just won a challenge against the other dude without killing him, so she could easily challenge Din 😂
She’s been a failed leader twice. It’s a terrible choice and we’ve been here before. It’s a terrible arc that makes very few people satisfied.
It’s interesting to observe how Din is highly effective at ingratiating himself with ugnaughts, tuskens, and other oppressed/stigmatized demographics, but he is so persistently ruthless with droids. And this seems in spite of the fact that we are seeing more and more humanization and personification of droids in the contemporary canon. I loved the line from the bartender about “human life is so short.” Such a fascinating and enjoyable episode. And Grogu’s knighthood feels like a perfect time capsule to revisit someday somehow - maybe in some other show set hundreds of years in the future.
😂
I wonder if his knighthood comes with rights and privileges that will later be exploited. Indeed, the promise of the Duke(?) to formally recognize Mandalore will also come back with a geopolitical coupling with Plazir.
Just wanted to be that guy, the humanization of druids started as a 3po, R2 sidestory in one of the EU books, basically they stumble upon a whole group of independent druids living in the underbelly of Coruscant
He finds peoples who are treated like droids, so shows them respect on their own terms.
I like how this episode shows Mandalorians doing a Jedi’s job.
Aren't the Jedi dead at this time? That's like saying "The Greek military is doing the Spartans jobs by protecting Sparta" like the Spartans are still around lol
Well I mean I guess there's Luke, but there's certainly a lot more Mandalorians then there are Jedi at that point
Originally Jedi and Mandalorians did kinda the sane thing, there's a comic (not sure if it's Canon now) where dooku starts a Civil War, abd calls both the Jedi and Mandalorians to help telling each that the other was the cause of the war...the Mandalorians were basically massacred, which is why Jango hates Jedi...
I have a personal theory that during the sequel trilogy, Grogu is ruling mandalore and policing Hutt space, given that Boba took the place of Jabba on Tatooine. I see the madolorians being sherrifs/marshals of multiple planets.
@@Stevensonssonsteve this is spot on Navarro and Mos Espa are under mandolorian protection and this is just the very beginning
Seeing Din reference Kuill ,and say " I have spoken" got an audible cheer from me. I was expecting it ,but it was still awesome.
I instantly was like oh shit all these Kuill’s gonna say I have spoken at the same time
That was the only good thing about this onscreen gay pride parade episode of the show
@@darbyohara that makes no sense, mind explaining?
@@darbyohara do you have any real reason you’re mad or do you just enjoy being angry over nothing
@@Boundless-Boredom I stated a real reason. Star Wars is NOT a political vehicle to pass mentally ill ideology to the audience. Folks don’t watch to see 300lbs women who can’t act worth a shit as a character who’s totally irrelevant to the story.
The data bears this out too, viewership is way down on this season so clearly they’re doing shit wrong
You missed the Alice in Wonderland reference, the Queen playing a game with live animals and everyone letting her win or is off with your head. Not as gruesome as AIW of course, but Grogu helping her win was so cute 🥰
Yes, I thought of Alice in Wonderland when the Mandalorians entered the royals dining room. The spaced-out diners suggested the Mad Hatter's tea party.
Yes! I came here to say this. Also Grogu was like Alice helping the Queen at croquet and the rabbit droid was like the white rabbit.
Dylan Mulvaney will be in Star Wars!!! Wahoo!!
The oldest and deepest easter egg is the plot driver for the episode. The contaminated fluid making droids go rogue was first used in Star Wars in 1979 in the illustrated kids book "Star Wars The Mystery of the Rebellious Robot".
Insane
The foot chase through the city streets is an homage to the foot chase in Blade Runner. It even ends the same way with the robot that’s being chased by the human detective crashing through glass.
Yes and the previous scene was a reference to the Boston dynamics video where they kick the loader robot carrying a package
Deckard is a replicant ;)
I was thinking that
@@bvldr 100% :)
Definitely caught onto that vibe
Realizing the whole side quest Bo and Din were unwillingly sent on was a buddy cop/police procedural story, cracked me up to no end
It made me realize how much I would love NCIS or CSI or whatever set in the Star Wars universe…
Star Trek Next Gen Away Mission. It was a great world-building episode and character development for Bo and Din’s relationship.
@@cassieo Yes man, I couldn't stop feeling the Star Trek bibes in this episode
This whole episode felt like a live action Clone Wars episode, and I loved it
For real.Really hits home
I noticed the iRobot similarities immediately. The crime scene also reminds me of when Detective Spooner was investigating Dr. Lanning's death with the holographic caution tape. The alarms the droids made sounds familiar too. Maybe the same as the cops from Minority Report.
I'm glad somebody else picked up on the Minority Report alarm! I was trying to place where I had heard it before- definitely the same sound
I'm consistently amazed by how you folks put together such a well-researched, well-edited video for all these shows, usually the day each episode comes out. That's clearly a lot of work. Well done!
They really get after it and grind...I'm always impressed and love SC!!
Not trying to take away the merith were is due just bringing more info, but usually channels that grow a lot like this are approached by agencys and they offer video editors, writters, staff and sponsors/more income if they join, i dont know if SC team its part of an agency or not but they do a great work, i just hope that if they are part of an agency they dont get overtaken and replace like it happened on RT, Smosh, Wisecrack, machinima and many more i'd hate to see that happening to SC
I think SC waxes poetic a LOT, but it is largely a theory-based channel so that’s ok. I don’t take it as gospel.
They've said before they get access to the episodes a couple days in advance.
It's likely that they have early access
I was certain that Din would find that missing piece of IG-11 memory that he needed in this episode.
Thats what I said too
Maybe he'll swallow his pride and be kind, go back to the bar, and they'll be able to notso easily acquire one for him
Me too
He could be back in later seasons for a side quest. Also we can see The First Order in development.
Well they ended the episode on the planet, maybe he can go back and ask an Ugnaught?
They played to Jack Blacks and Lizzo's strengths: so campy and silly, they feel a little wrong and creepy. Leads us to expect one of them to be the episodes antagonists. But it turns out they're just a slightly weird and creepy pair of competent leaders.
I think when Din Djarin is kicking the super battle droids it is a reference to the robot testers kicking the robots in those Boston Dynamics videos to test their balance.
Search: "Every time Boston Dynamics has abused a robot"
Bonus: "Atlas robot swearing mod"
It totally has that kind of energy
The Queen and the whole court just kept giving me Alice in Wonderland vibes. Even her head crest looked almost like a heart.
Yep. Especially the game she played where Grogu helps her out.
They made here look like an owl...
Defo mad hatters tea party going on
Yep, space isopods (rolypoly, pillbug) instead of hedgehogs for the balls
You mean black hutt? Only role lizzo should play is black hutt lol 😂
When Din was kicking the super battle (loader) droids, it immediately made me feel like it was a reference to Boston Dynamics and their Atlas robot. They have multiple videos of the designers kicking them and knocking boxes out of their hands. I've found myself wondering "would one of them malfunction and fight back?"
I'm with you. I loved this episode. The detective side quest was very fun to watch, and the Mandalorian confrontation was tense. 8/10.
You forgot the Alice in wonderland reference! 1. Lizzo costumes takes a bit after the queen of hearts. 2. The table they are sat at reminds of the tea party of the mad hatter and the wonderland vibe 3. When playing space crocket, grogu helps queen lizzo, totally reminiscent to the flamingos helping queen of hearts hit all the goals
Thank for great content! Always looking forward for your take on movies and TV shows ❤
At the end of Season 2, I really expected Bo and Din's conflict over the dark saber would be much of a bigger thing. Turns out it was resolved by a loophole.
But how was it a duel if he was ambushed?
And What's The Armourer Gonna Say? When She Finds Out!
A Loophole is a Loophole but isn't it a ie Challenge or Fight? For The Dark Saber! Good episode But Gutted there's only 2 episodes left! Too much is gonna happen in the last 2! 1 about The Mandalorian's, Moff Gideon, Dark Saber etc! Cheers 🍻
could be resolved or maybe a red herring
She won it in combat, I like how they did it
I felt as though they were setting up Din's gradual learning to wield the Darksaber by confronting his inner conflict. I was really looking forward to that level of character development. :( I really feel as though his development is being stalled.
Finding the sub-atomic writing on the nano-droids definitely felt like a callback to Blade Runner, especially given the setting.
Yes, I thought the same. Writing on the snake scales.
Comparing this dross to Blade Runner in even the slightest way is just a joke. An unfunny one.
@@Raygo. It's not a comparison, but an attention to the details being recycled for the serotonin effect caused by an audience's nostalgic response.
@@gaiasguardian205 If you put a dab of fine sauce on a McDonalds Happy Meal it is still junk food. And the sauce is wasted.
ChatGPT, Boston Dynamics, Irobot, AI replacing jobs (Humans replacing droids)...I got all these vibes from this episode as a commentary on AI from the rise in popularity of ChatGPT. I loved it.
Definitely, kicking the droids while they held boxes was a Boston Dynamics reference.
I think AI wrote the episode.
And I felt bad for the robots. Yes please take my job mr robot 😢
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking about the I Robot reference
@@kpare They even struggled to keep their balance just like in the BD videos.
You’re the absolute best at The Mandalorian breakdowns Ryan! ❤ I’m astounded at all the details you offer!
The scene where Din Djarin is kicking those droids reminds me strongly of that Boston Dynamics video, where they do the same with real robots.
Yeah but that can't possibly cause any issues at Boston Dynamics, he said sarcastically. 😂
That was a really fun episode. World building, prequel call backs and Din and Bo Katan were like detectives. Awesome.
@diggy dub no he’s not bro, gtfo
@diggy dub I enjoyed it. Sorry if you didn't
Looked great The acting and writing were terrible however.
Lando's co-pilot from Sullust was Nien Nunb, not Sny Snub. You might be getting his name confused with Sy Snoodles, the OG OT singer in Jabba's Palace.
I was like. We all know this. Soneone doug should have corrected him
There is a bit of a good hidden message in this episode I believe.
When, Bo Katan wanted the saber she shouldn't be the leader. But, when she didn't want the saber, she should be the leader.
I am wondering if by the end something happens to Bo making her admit why she didn't want to fight Din for the Darksaber while she gleefully fought Axe for leadership.
We've seen Bo didn't try to take charge of the Tribe, and only came back to the Nite Owls when the Armorer reminded her she was the best choice for leader. Her keeping Din around is making me think she can't help but doubt she is the one fate wants to lead Mandalorians. It'll literally be her fourth attempt while the other three ended in dramatic failures.
From then on, three possibilities: Din goes back to space dad and Bo becomes Mand'alor, Bo is wounded/doublecrossed/killed by Moff Gideon and Din is forced to intervene to take charge (and perhaps save her), Bo confesses to Din (BoDin fans would love that).
One thing seems to be certain though: Moff Gideon will return and almost certainly try to take back the Darksaber.
I liked how Plazir reminded me a lot of the new Mandolorians under Satine, and the fact they exiled Helgait to Plazir's moon, much like Death Watch got exiled to their moon
I noticed that too!! I was like “damn wtf is this green ass mandalore looking planet”
I actually really like it especially the separatists reveal that caught me off guard in a good way
It caught me off guard too but soon as he said he would reset the droids, I yelled out "separatist" 😂
Yep,stuff like this makes the fictional world feel richer
Bruh, as soon as he said droids I knew he was a separatist. The fact they where having problems with separatist battle droids ,the head of security knowing of the droid problem and the uhgnaughts not knowing of the defective droids it's pretty easy to connect the dots
It was a solid episode with a lot of fun and interesting twisted.
Great episode
Honestly I loved jack and Lizzo (I’m not a huge fan of random cameos) but I did think it was fun. It was light hearted.
I loved this episode. It gave us some good world building, introduced a new locale with it's own political structure, had a nice contained little mystery story, progressed the overall story of the rise of Bo Katan and Mandalore, and was done in an entertaining fashion. They had me at "battle droids," as well.
I felt like this episode encapsulated what it felt like to play out a planet mission in a game like Knights of the Old Republic or Mass Effect. It had lil side quests, negotiations and tasks given to get to objectives, small story beats like ugnaught manners and dialect, and big time events that move the overall story further.
Because these writers grew up on ''fetch quest'' video games and think that's how story works.
@@stevena.7022 I'm ok with that. It is a way to tell stories yet it isn't the only way, and this show has done a good job of balancing dynamics like that into some of its episodes.
I like that if a season has 10+ episodes.
I remember I couldn't wait for mando episodes, watch them 5+ times each. This year feels like they just spit on it. 6/10 So far...
This comment was well put. I personally really enjoyed the flow of the episode and it did enough to advance the mainline story it didn't really feel like misplaced filler to me.
Exactly why it SUCKED. If the season had like 20 episodes, I'd be fine. It has 8, and 3 episodes have been useless, stupid filler that is terribly written.
The chemistry between Din & Bo, how effective they are together, is really carrying the show.
They're basically a couple and Grogus adopted parents now
@@MrSpade5150 Spy × Family
Lovely couple
They aren't doing a great job. This season is butt cheeks
Ship DinBo?
All the cameos were great, and fun, and you can tell everyone involved had an awesome time making this episode.
This season is leading me to believe that the whole series is actually Bo Katan's story as told through Din Jarin. "The Mandalorian" title is referring to Bo Katan.
This is the problem with this season.
It's not supposed to be bo Katans story.
It's supposed to be the story of a foundling becoming a mandelorian, told through din jarin, a mandelorian who was a foundling after being saved by a mandelorian, as he has become a the mandelorian who saved a foundling.
Grogu story and din jarins story rhyme, and as a story telling device, it works perfectly because through grogus journey from foundling to mandelorian, we're also learning din jarins story from foundling to mandelorian.
If "the mandelorian" is bo katan, then the first 2 seasons are pointless and all this show is now is a just more seasons of the clone wars.
@Jonathan Snow actually, it's supposed to be what the writers want it to be.
This season's writing is absolute crap... I don't get why people are defending it. It sucks. This episode was the worst. Yet people liked this trash writing. We only have 8 episodes in each season, 2 years apart. Wasting episodes like this several times in one season is just sad.
I came to this season for THE MANDALORIAN form season 1... not all this crap.
Stick with it. I highly doubt the result here is “Bo Katan leads Mandalorian restoration.” Things seem too good to be true for her right as the finale is coming and there were loose threads dropped throughout the season that haven’t been pulled on yet.
I really thought this was a fun episode and just love seeing the diffrent cultures and Star Wars has. Hearing battledroids in live action again just made me so happy.
This
I love how terrifying this episode made the super battle droids seem
How? Mando literally kicked them, and when they went haywire they just ran away...
@@matthewmammothswine4395 Remember it has been completely reprogrames and is weaponless. This episode showed us just how incrediblu agile and strong they are.
I love how terrifying this episode made the Disney super dross machine seem.
@@sorrym8421 sure, not how bad the writing is 😂
Also, how TF did it run so fast
There's been a bit of foreshadowing that the Darksaber belongs to Bo-Katan in an earlier episode too. In the episode where Din gets captured on Mandalore, you can see he's still struggling with the Darksaber. When Bo-Katan rescues him, she is able to use the blade smoothly and effortlessly.
One of my favorite episodes. I enjoyed the detective work because it moved along quickly and had a nice twist.
I can’t believe how quickly you can turn these videos out. Do you get to watch the show 24 hours in advance? The amount of detail and editing that go into this is mind-boggling.
I honestly enjoyed it. I know a lot of people have been complaining that there is no "direction" this season and people don't know the main plot. Am I the only one who understood the story of the season in episode 2? They made it very clear they were going to bring back all the Mandalorians and take back Mandalore. Great cameos this episode. I lost my crap seeing Jack Black and Christopher Lloyd.
I understand the overall story. Its execution ... is what I find (relatively) lacking.
Me too i really loved it.
I really like that mandalorian is not a classical Star Wars series with jedi philosophy and sith lords. Yet i do understand that some Fans wants to see a more traditonal Star Wars Story
@@Dauntlessmedia Oh man, wait until you find out about filler episodes in anime. This is just world building and plot advancement. Sorry it's not all pew pew every second of every episode.
@@SoberAddiction When I re-watched the previous seasons in one go, the weaker episodes felt less 'weaker' because I didn't watch it on its own. Episode 4 of both season 1 & 2 felt like this episode for season 3 (maybe ep. 3 also).
@@SoberAddiction Nice strawman you've built there, thinking all I want is pew-pew. Besides, the best way to tell stories isn't through plot, but through *character development*. Unfortunately, Mando is too much Book of Boba Fett and not enough Andor - or even Bad Batch - levels of character development.
I loved this episode and the costume department deserves Chewies medal for all their work
I thought the dark saber belonged to Bo after episode 2 and was surprised Din got it back.
Whoelse laughed at Mando kicking the battle droid like he was enjoying it! Lol
22:25 we seen that Din still has trouble wielding the Darksaber, I think this is to contrast his difficulty wielding the Darksaber with Bo Katan’s ease in wielding the Darksaber later in the episode.
To me that looked like an easy over head slice
I always come to you guys for these breakdowns. Your actually positive and enjoy the show as much as I do, cheers!
I agree, it was a fun episode that still moved the story forward. It is also a good episode to reset how dark and intense future episodes have to be. An occasional episode like this makes it so they don’t have to write future episodes so incredibly dark to have an impact, and risk putting themselves into a literary corner of bleakness.
I loved the episode. It felt like one of those random detective episodes from Clone Wars and Rebels.
Lizzo ruined it.
how?
Not a fan of lizzo. Not a great acting job by her but she definitely did not ruin the episode
@@tysonbraumberger7668 By opening it's mouth
@@jacksonfisher148 yes it did
This episode contains many respectful nods to Logan’s Run (1976). That movie was definitely the strongest influence on this chapter.
Yes- was surprised to see this was missed. Major nods to this SCI-Fi Classic. Thank you
It was a great episode! The cameos were amazing and I loved seeing Christopher Lloyd on screen again!
When din and bo were chasing the super battle droid, I could have sworn I saw a droid that looked almost identical to r2d2 after they exit the alley
When they went to the docks and the battle droid was talking, my IMMEDIATE thought was “ITS ROGER”.
I was half expecting to hear Din Djarin or Bo-Katan to say “this is the way”
Thanks for doing these videos. I have no idea how you turn around this much nerd goodness same day. Your videos are the first thing I watch after any episode I watch that you break down. Thanks for the hard work, great info and be funny all in one. I’m with you. I love episodes like this even with crazy cameos.
I thought I wouldn't like this episode, but I was happily surprised. I loved the old crime noir theme and I liked the world they set up. It was also nice seeing live action super battle droids after all these years.
Thank you for your passion. Helps me see the subtle genius of the directors and producers.
I for one enjoyed the episode, as a "side-quest" episode - especially b/c of all the world-building elements. And hey, at least it's not yet another visit to Tatooine.
Agreed. We get to see more of the Outer Rim, and its limitless potential as the "independent" portion of the galaxy, and that it's not always just Tatooine-esque sandy badlands. There's so much that can be done with the premise of people making a society out of whatever is available with the remnants and aftermath of the last galactic war.
It’s a first date episode
all this show has been is side quests lmfao I respect your opinion but we have 2 episodes left and literally the last couple minutes of bo getting her crew back contributed to the plot.And it’s not even that intresting
This shoe sucks!
Its the same side quest over and over again....the writing is in the trash bin.
I loved the iRobot feel of this episode and all the cameos lol
And blade runner. A homage.
That battle droid alley chase was VERYYY IRobot lol
The cameos were trash lol
@@TaintedPeter lol don't like Lizzo huh
@thdgdkdjssnske yeah I'll admit it was a bit wierd.
The Mandalorians operating from a captured imperial light cruiser reminded me of Booster Terrik’s star destroyer the Errant Venture in Legends
I really hope they aren't shifting the show from Din to Bo. We really haven't had any emotion from the Mando this season yet in regards to what he wants. He's a passenger at this point. I love the Bo stuff and I love how she could be a leader. I just wish Mando's feelings were shown a bit more so we could understand where his head is at. This episode (other than episode 1 or 2) feels like the first we get some character from Mando. It would make this season so much more interesting if we knew his interests more. That's why I fear they're shifting it more to Bo rather than Din. Thank you for the video ScreenCrush, good job. Always love your videos. So detailed.
Perhaps din can tame the mythasaur, then bo and din could rule the new mandalor
RX24 AKA REX was introduced decades ago as the pilot of the transport vessel on the Disney attractions star tours before it got updated with C3PO.
Really nostalgic to see them in this scene too bad we did not get to hear them speak.
I think it's reasonable to assume that seeing the battle droids might have reminded Din of why he doesn't trust droids.
You’d think after IG-11 goes psycho he’d be back to hating droids but he’s the one that gave him faith in droids so I see why he didn’t
@@Collect2Disconnect yeah but with Battle Droids its different. They killed his family when he was a child. Its like keeping Batman within the company of the man who killed his parents.
@@shariqhasan6220 That's kinda how things worked at one point...sorta....as the housekeeper of Wayne Manor in the 70s or 80s was a woman named Mrs. Chilton. Who was the mother of Joe Chill...the murderer of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Fun episode. The detective side quest felt like Mulder & Scully 😊 I’ve felt Din’s conflict with the Dark Sabre is tied to his personal honor. He’d agreed it would be hers during the rescue of GroGu. He was not able to give it to her. Let’s remember there’s still that Mythosaur to deal with.
When they were approaching the city and the "Greeting chime" sounded with the voice welcoming them, reminded me a lot of the Heart of Gold from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy when they arrived at the Legendary planet of Magrathea!!!!
I'm able to enjoy stuff for what it is. This episode was fantastic. Loved the budy cop, CSI spoof. Loved the Droid bar. Great episode.
Right on!
I guess this means I might like CSI cuz the good cop bad cop dynamic was so funny
The larger imperial ship they have is Gideon’s ship that they captured at the end of season 2. The smaller fighters that they have are the Fang fighters… a smaller version of the Gauntlet.
Yep, and its not Star Destroyer, its Light Cruiser.
at least someone typed this
All the pieces are falling into place. Now we just need a final showdown and a mythosaur.
*19:43* "and this is your mom" I did a double take laugh
I loved the episode! Enjoying all this series.
You have the best, most fun breakdowns for Star Wars on CZcams!! AND you are not a downer like most of the others. Thank you! I feel better about enjoying this episode after watching your breakdown!
Haters depends on their negative takes on things to feed their egos. 90% of the times is not even related to what they are criticizing, it's all about just ego
100%! And all that translation! Thanks Doug!
He must be getting paid by Disney, because this episode and this season have been dumpster garbage.
@@Lobosalsa9 ohh no! you haters aren't right... Yes he might get paid, but the episode wasn't garbage..
@@cheogt4623 I'm the farthest thing from a hater. I want Disney to do well with SW, I really really do. But so far, 95% of the SW content Disney has put out has been terrible. That episode was like a bad SNL skit.
What did you think of the episode?
I liked it, it was campy, it did progress the Bo Karan storyline, and was a fun departure. It's fine as a one off.
I loved it. It was so fun and campy, quite ridiculous.
It was a pretty good one off, didn't really like the ending because we've been through this already with rebels and we know how poorly that ended. I just don't think it's going to last.
if i learned anything from my time in the psych ward and my being assigned a psychiatrist, its that i need to just fuggin enjoy things and not ever think them. im happy as a medicated clam
I loved it
The Arbesh speed round was brilliant. Good episode!
The "your mom" bit in every video has to be my favorite thing on youtube. Most of the time, I don't even remember it's a thing until it is dropped. Always gets a chuckle out of me.
We’re getting closer and closer to the quality of The Holiday Special
I'm sad people aren't enjoying it as much as previous seasons. I myself, I'm loving all of it
I think people aren't enjoying it because:
1. It's basically sidelined the actual main characters while trying to force us to care about the pretender / failure?
2. Kind of like what was mentioned above, they set up Mandalorian culture so brilliantly, just to tear it all down with ridiculous loop holes and nonsense.
3. Grogu is basically just a pet now, who occasionally does force stuff of zero consequence.
4. While I don't think most of the episodes are as bad as some people seem to think, the fact that they are doing soooo much world building at the expense of furthering an actual story arc while at the same point only giving us 8 episodes after a 2+ YEAR wait is a little frustrating. This is only aggravates the above points further. They have already set up like 3 or 4 different plot lines and then done nothing with any of them...
5. Bo didn't "earn" anything. Din was NOT defeated in actual combat as dictated by creed. The darksaber fell after he got caught in a scooby trap. The spider droid did nothing but sit there and watch. Then cart him off. Again, another example of irritating loop holes being used to force us to care about and believe in Bo. Din using that "fight" to give Bo the darksaber is nothing more than an excuse at the absolute best and more like poor writing to "legitimize" Bo and make us think she is THE Mandalorian.
I have been a huge Mandalorian fan for many years and have just been giddy with this show. But I find myself caring less and less about it now despite my love of the culture because of all these exasperating annoyances that only keep growing in ramifications and number.
I wouldn't even mind seeing Bo being built up. I just can't stand her being forced down my throat at the expense of characters I do actually have an interest in.
My main gripe is the short episodes. It has been frustrating to tune in and then have it be the length of a Clone Wars episode. 4 of the 6 so far I believe have an in show run time of over 30 minutes or are damn near on 30 minutes. Such short episodes makes me want them to have just dumped the season all at once.
They probably lost lots of viewers just with this one atrocious episode. I wouldn't expect a fourth season after seeing this. Someone at Disney just screwed up very badly.
@@VlPER007 i don't think shifting the story to a wider Mandalorian plot is necessarily a bad choice, but the execution of that story on screen has been shaky.
It was always going to be difficult to develop Grogu's character given that he's still a baby at fifty years old. They pretty much designed this character-writing problem into the show's premise. Right? If they are to keep the story going, they have to write around Grogu. In truth, that's always been the case. He's always been a "pet" as you put it. At best, he was a pet the moment he stopped being Mando's McGuffin a few episodes into Season One.
As for your comments on the value for production time ... Well, there are reasons why studios have always considered science fiction a high budget venture - at least since it stopped being a B-flick genre back in the 1950s/60s. If you are a fan of quality science fiction, you will notice that you spend a lot of time waiting for the next decent film or serialized show that isn't cheap or awful in some way. Welcome to the club.
The biggest problem that Disney confronts with the Star Wars franchise is that Disney has a corporate culture, not an artistic one. This means a lot of scriptwriting which has the stamp of "writing by committee" on it (that's not a compliment.). And they are prone to indulge in excess displays of cloying fan service to the point where they will fill hours of footage with winks and nods to the audience. ("Hey! Here's an obvious reference to something in another Star Wars! Get it? Get it?!") This might satisfying to fans in the short term, but it is NOT in the long term. It's like the fast food of film and television. You can get full on it very quickly but it's not very satisfying and you'll shit it out pretty quickly after consuming it.
This episode was tons of fun to watch! I’m happy that the whole Ep2 part with Din getting captured meant something. I was thinking. There’s a reason they had Bo Karan pick it up and save Din with it.
I hated the entire episode... why are people settling for this crap show of story writing? It could be so much better! Like season 1 and 2. This season is trash, and I'm disappointed that people are settling with it and accepting the trash. Sad. Star Wars is dying. Literally the only interesting thing was the end fight scene and like you pointed out, the dark saber plot. They should have started the episode with that, and forwarded the plot.
^^^so you just like Star Wars for lasers and laser stuff
@@Mannyr-bu7qv I like Star Wars for good plots, which this was not. It was a terribly written episode for a terribly written season. I loved most of the Clone Wars Seasons, even the politics and relationship episodes, so no. People enjoying this are enjoying garbage.
I have been thinking the same thing. Since that episode I was thinking she won the blade from that monster thing that had Din. I am excited to be validated 😂
I loved this episode, too. You need a break from the action and the darkness on a show like this, and Star Wars has always given us a huge variety of alien worlds and societies. I liked this kind of indulgent society more than I liked the casino scenes in Episode IX. It felt like this society is certainly well off and care free, but they didn't seem like elitist or condescending the way that the upper class on Coruscant comes off as.
Loved this episode! This is the Star Wars I grew up with and also loved that we got to see battle droids in live action!
The nod to City Hall by Tenacious D was masterful.
When Bo said to grogu we are going for a ride! My heart melted ❤space mom ,and space dad what dynamic duo!!
So many cool references in this episode that just made you chuckle. I loved it.
the "tube" transport straight up looked like it was pulled from "Logans Run".
You pointed out that the Aurabesh "A" is like a badge they have to wear forever to display their past shame - this makes it a very direct parallel to The Scarlet Letter! It's even the SAME LETTER. Hadn't noticed before
I dug the episode, we don't have to be in a race to the end of the story. It reminds me how back in Season 1 it felt like it might be mostly an adventure-of-the-week series that gradually reveals a larger story, rather than a GoT type serial with galactic stakes. Both are great. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy the ride.
This episode also felt like a good Dr Who'esque episode. Djin even uses a sonic screwdriver shaped device that lights up at the end
Agreed. Totally gave me Whovian vibes too.
I thought it was a Next Gen Away Mission 🤷🏻♀️ “planet of the week” and something g sketchy is going on.
Even costumes were like in Doctor Who...
This episode was very much needed
Loved the episode! Love the world building and seeing the B2 Battledroids
Man, I've been talking about the saber changing ownership since that episode. I'm so glad to finally have vindication!
Your Palpatine jokes may get under my skin sometimes but my man, you just GET IT!!! This episode was done rather well in terms of the narrative of the overall show
Thanks Ryan and Doug. Keep up the good work.
Great work Doug. Keep up the great work.
The way bo gets the dark Saber at the end makes me think she is most definitely going to lose it in the next episode probably to moff Gideon again.
IKR? When this happened I thought to myself (in Vaders voice): “All too easy…” 😂
Yeah the mandalorian is THE mandalorian he is obviously going to become the mandalor
GROGU WILL WIN IT SOMEHOW!
I hope this is the case in all honesty. I feel Bo Katan deserves to rule when they claim back the planet but she failed as a leader already (she never won the saber previously). Have mando win it back and accept it as his fate, I don’t think they’re going that way though..
We have yet to see Gideon, but it would be a great reveal!
You know what this episode really reminds of. Every mission from the old KOTOR games. You have a main mission, but you have to do a side quest in order to do the main mission.
YES! Exactly the vibe I got from this episode. It was like right after landing on a new planet and you immediately get sidetracked.
Just wanted to point out another possible Easter Egg: the bartender droid in The Resistor had a pair of side scanners on his head that slid back and forth like the eye scanner of a Cylon robot from Battlestar Galactica, which Katee Sackoff was also in.
Christopher Lloyd was great to see. He has been a part of so many other sci-fi movies and shows, plus he is an icon.
i absolutely loved the way the Super Battle Droid behaved when it was exposed. the way it seemed to hesitate for a split second before breaking into a dead sprint, and the panicked way it moved as it fled just seemed so .. human. I feel like it really showed that military droids are also fully sentient beings, just like all of the cute "civilian" droids.
The SBD's have always been portrayed as nearly unstoppable, walking tanks. They show up and everyone opens fire, as they lumber steadily forward into the sea of explosions and blaster rounds, before a massive airstrike or other ordinance ravages the battlefield. then the music gets extra music-y, and everyone watches on in horror as the B-2s emerge unfazed from the wall of smoke, and begin wiping everyone out.
That stiff, methodical, "generic robot" movement isn't a mechanical limitation. It's military discipline.
it's honestly so much scarier now.
Damn, I didn't think of it that way. Star Wars has been really inconsistent with the way they portray droids, with some being emotionless machines fulfilling their tasks, and others like the OOM Battle Droid commanders, Astromechs, and Tactical Droids dripping with personality. While most SBD's don't talk and just walk and fight, there are some like in episode 1 of The Clone Wars which was begging its fellow SBD's to not shoot him while he was "malfunctioning". The idea that some of the Battle Droids could have developed "personality quirks" because of how long they've been in active service AND STILL be willing to march slowly into gunfire and explosions to carry out their bloody task is really scary to imagine.
The chase scene reminded me of Blade Runner when Zhora is being hunted. And zooming in on the nano-bots, was like getting the manufacturers details off the snake scale from the same movie
The dome city is CLEARLY an homage to Logan’s Run. The travel tubes and framing is exactly the same. It even looks like a model.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
The best part of this show is how it shows the words we've never seen in details on the main trilogies
I like your videos the best! Other channels just focus on everything they hate about the episodes, but you are more focused on what you like about them. High five! I liked this episode a lot and was happy that I could watch it with my family and they enjoyed it too. Super fun.
Great analysis and putting into context.
