Huyang saying he has a record of every lightsaber ever made is like Jucasta Nu saying if a planet that isn't in the archives does not exist.😂
Except he’s a droid and I imagine he literally does have a record of every lightsaber officially made and I see no reason he wouldn’t have the dark saber since it was given back to the Jedi when Tor Vizla died
Also less bitchy than Jocasta.
@@Trey-dp6tl the archives are computers too. It’s not about whether he remembers it, it’s about if it’s in his databanks. I doubt he has Sidious’ lightsabers on his databanks for example
@@PixlPlayer hence why I said officially made. All those were made outside the Order. But all lightsabers made by the Order he has a record of
Doesn’t every Jedi builds their own lightsaber?
"This is a space fantasy about a space cowboy and his magic baby" may be the best description I have ever hear of the show.
Absolutely xD
You might say "This is the Way to sum it up"
(No? Okay)
I love that Alex's favorite thing about the season was something that connected to a memory of spending time with his partner
Din is still doing it cause it’s his faith. I see the children of the watch’s development as a group of Mandalorians who can hold to their personal convictions while at the same time becoming more tolerant of differing ideas.
I think they fashioned the dark saber into that torch that they used to light forge at the end of the episode, the Armorer handing the torch over to Bo in sign of unity.
I really appreciate your ability to disagree with your former opinions, and ultimately land on a positive perspective. This indicates a level of maturity that is incredibly refreshing, and all too rare amongst Star Wars CZcamsrs and fans. We don't always understand the full story, and not everything makes perfect sense right away, Star Wars has ALWAYS been like this.
The things that average viewers point out as "plot holes" are nothing more than an invitation to explore, to figure out WHY the writers made that decision, and HOW those things fit in to the story. To me, these mysteries, and the discussions they lead to, are some of the more enticing aspects of the Star Wars universe.
Thank you two for doing what you do, and for being a voice of reason amongst a sea of oblivious negativity.
Positivity is something this fandom needs a lot more of.
@@Elvisbackpack I still think it's healthy to discuss things you dislike or disagree with. Just as long as it's not blind hate, or any type of harassment towards those that work on said projects. Sometimes it's hard to have a discussion without being labeled a toxic fan, even when it's done civilly.
@@Elvisbackpack So should we have positivity towards sequel trilogy too?
NEVER!!!
@@garudanathanael5257you’re quite literally part of the problem they’re talking about.
Positivity is different from doing the work for Disney on starwars. You are buying into litterally no story that is coherent or going anywhere meaningfully. Litterally what you miss is the fact that Disney's starwars doesn't care about starwars. They constantly say they have nothing to work from and that's why they struggle, yet they decannonized all of the extended universe and are taking from it and butchering it to give characters they want story that makes no sense for them, and was meant for other characters. If you enjoy it have at it. But this isn't stsrwars lore, it's Disney's writers and Kathleen Kennedys fan fiction.
Q&A: Since Thrawn was the main proponent for the project, do you think we could see live-action Tie Defenders as part of his forces?
I like the thought of Grogu having to deal with a hard time that calls for a light saber to be used and then
Bo-katan brings out the crystal and is like here you go ive been waiting to give this to you
re: terrible memories while armor is being forged- I think Mandalorian armor is a big symbol of strength and protection. So while it’s being forged, the show contrasts that with everyone having flashbacks of when they felt most vulnerable.
That’s a really good read of the scene with the context of the Armorer as a positive moral character
I appreciate the talk and your channel in general. You guys are always fair, express what you like and what you didn't and always in a chill not click bait manner. I also think it's cool how you morph your opinion into either a positive or negative once you let stuff sit for a bit.
I enjoyed Season 3 and had a lot of fun and I liked what they did with Grogu as a character. Even though it has pacing issues but I attribute more the problems to the Covid scheduling and production issues, with Pedro, Ludwig and some of the DP's not being able to return. As for Grogu returning I think having him in Boba was always the plan and that was just John's mistake of making it MCU like and not some grand conspiracy about merch as others say.
It's really not a grand conspiracy. Star Wars has always, since the creation of the first film, been about selling toys.
@@jacos133 for sure "Luke Skywalker with black glove" "Luke Skywalker without glove" and "Luke with robot hand" . I meant it more as in high honchos or KK who is a sith lord in a lot of people's minds didn't meddle with the decision. Filoni and Favreau have done stuff like this in other shows, they aren't infalible and I hope they learnt from this which imo has been their biggest mistake it disservice Grogu, Din Djarin and Bobba Fett.
Din keeping his helmet on this entire season I think is mostly do to Pedro filming The Last of Us and it was just more convenient to keep the helmet on.
Thanks for answering my question during the video! You guys and Force Center are my go-tos for all things Star Wars. May the Force be with you!
The Dark Sabre was returned to the Jedi temple when Tarre Vizsla the Madalore died.. prior to Death watch liberating it. Im sure hueyang is familiar with it.
Q&A: Do you think Jon Favreau had actually scrapped Rangers of New Republic and he had to put it into The Mandalorian Season 3 & 4 or do you Rangers of the New Republic series is still happening since we never heard about the cancelation? (I'm definitely wondered if that S3 ending that Din Djarin had mentioned that he's going to help The New Republic as a Bounty Hunter and Din gave the new version of IG-11 model had to become the new Marshall despite that there was no Post Credit Scene appeared like S2 had for The Book of Boba Fett.)
My favorite thing 100% was Grobogu. I’m so glad we got IG-11 back and that he’s the new Marshal, but damn I loved seeing that baby in that droid.
I concur
I find that its always better the second time watch though, because your able to take the whole story in without time gab between. It tends to make the pieces fit better, and make it one long story.
You know, S1 they gave us the Razorcrest and in S2 they blew it up. They show us the Dark Saber in S2 and in S3 they crush it. Seems similar. Mando needing to move past his bounty hunting life and Bo/Mandalorians needing to move past the idol/idolization of the Dark Saber.
i think the implication was that gideon sent pirates to nevarro and bombed castle kryze because he's just a petty petty man lol
That scene with the Armorer and Bo Katan rocketing into battle leading the Mandos, still gives me chills....OMG so powerful.
I would be surprised if Din Jarin or Bo Katan dont appear in the Ahsoka series.
I think you guys may not give enough credit here to the show and it's story and meaning. It may not be that simple. People putting aside their biases, accepting very different beliefs from others, and unifying together instead of dividing is a big message that is very important today. Sadly many people have a very difficult time with that today, so the message is quite important today.
Let the Darksaber Die, Crush it if you have to
We've been treating them as a cult but maybe it's just someone's faith or culture that an outsider wouldn't really understand but there isn't technically anything wrong with it (especially now that the Mandos can live and work together in harmony but still keep their own beliefs).
They said this, I posted this too soon lol, but while cults are definitely real sometimes someone cries "cult" when it isn't.
I quite agree. I’ve been saying that since people started complaining about “the cult”. It feels like one of those situations where people are rather intolerant in their fight for tolerance (akin to wanting to ban a book like Huck Finn for perceived racism I think)
I'm pretty sure Din getting exiled and not taking his helmet off for season 3 is because Pedro Pascal has been so busy. He doesn't actually have to be on set to do his lines.
that's what I've heard and read as well. with him doing the last of us and the mandolorian at the same time, man's schedule is PACKED.
The crystal for the Darksaber will be the core for Grogu's blade. The Darksaber was to big for him even with him eventually being fully grown so it was always going to be destroyed eventually.
Djarin and Bo gonna be corulers with grogu as heir. He will build a new darksaber and ride the mythosaur. This is my head cannon.
Everyone, please, Din WANTS to wear the helmet! He could've taken it off at any time when he was an apostate but didn't because he prefers to live that way! The only time when he wasn't extremely uncomfortable without it on was saying goodbye to Grogu. Redeeming himself was as much for him as it was for the creed or the Armore. There's just no precedent for Din disagreeing with that version of the creed after breaking it
Yeah I think some people have a hard time accepting that ultimately some maybe want to be religious like Din and follow the traditions. The message we are left with should be one of coexistence, not trying to convert others to our beliefs
I agree. We tend to think that our own way is always the best and only way. How far from true that is! When we think that someone should change and be more like us, or we are distrusting of another person just because their beliefs are different, we leave room for prejudice to grow...
@@ilikemandalorians9861 I think the problem was that the show basically labeled the group as a cult and never had something push back on that name.
In the west, the term cult has a dark undertone so when they had both a main character deem them a cult and have a major emotional scene be the main character rejecting a rule of said cult, people were primed to see them as crazy religious zealots rather than a more traditionalistic church. They should have had a scene or two showing the children of the watch in a positive way in season two before the helmet removal scene. Like maybe have one of the other mandalorians bad mouth them before Din counters with how they were there for him and helped him find purpose and peace after the death of his parents
@@Nostripe361 Bo called it a cult because she didn't like it and because it wasn't loyal to her. This entire season was about how Bo was wrong about that. She was literally "The Convert."
I fully agree with Alex about Ahmed Best and Kelloran Beq being the best thing in the season. I legit get emotional thinking about him getting a shot to not only return but do some of the most badass jedi moments I've seen in Star Wars. He deserves something like that for the way people treated him for Jar Jar.
4:12 such an ironic line from Gideon, as he is wearing a Mandalorian-inspired mech suit that gives him super strength.
16:30 Jedi Master Kelleran Beq was GREAT, but my favorite was when Grogu interrupted the squabbling Mandolorians, and he was in his suit of armor, Din says “he didn’t learn that from me,” and he passively broke up a fight. Perfection
I’d agree with that he would not have records of the DarkSaber, Ezra’s, heck, even Luke’s green bladed saber that was constructed prior to rescuing Han from Jabba. I feel he was instrumental in the early days of the Jedi at the beginning of the Jedi order.
I feel like you guys miss talking about a lot of good points like Huyang has the darksaber schematics because the darksaber was in the Jedi temple after Tarre Viszla was gone and was stolen back by the Mandalorians in the war, and also Palps was trying to use the Zillo beast way back in the clone wars
[Meows back at Pippin]
Grogu needs a new droid/Speeder/ minibike to ride around on! Maybe something that can partly transform 🤔
Or Din gets a new ship so they have a holding cell or something for the bounty’s. And Grogu gets the N-1 star fighter.
Maybe I missed it in an old Q/A but did you guys ever return to Galaxy’s Edge? I finally went last month and absolutely loved it. Then I had to watch all of your videos about that topic over again lol I would love to get your opinions on Rise of the Resistance and Oga’s Cantina for example. If I missed this somewhere please send me a link to the video(s).
P.S. you guys are awesome btw!
Galaxy's Edge is expensive, where should they get all that money?
I'm really glad that you're both feeling better :D
would be intresting of the dark saber crystal in a helmed. but i think its a dark part of the mando cultute for people to want it
Im SO glad to hear you guys adjusted or accepted the episodes better now than first viewing.
I still say that speculations and predictions can create disappointment.
Also, Star Wars series, its like eating either Burger King or Applebees, if you have Spagos or Pizza Hut on your mind, you can ruin the experience.
It would be funny if Bo-Katan gave a speech about them retaking Mandalore, and she's like "And we did it with only 2 casualties. Paz Visla, and the darksaber. My poor darksaber."
I’d love to see a series that parallels grogu’s and tar vizla’s story which involves repurposing/fixing the Darksaber
Q&A: Do you Think that with Baylan’s lightsaber looking kinda old it’s positive that Ahsoka contacts Huyang so he might help her find out who he is?
Thank you for answering my question!
Theoretically every blaster bolt color has a specific purpose and not just to tell good guys from badguys (because that's not really the case for the Original Trilogy), and the Mandalorians were initially given Yellow just to be different, but could it be more powerful towards Beskar? We see that Mandalorians typically shoot for the neck after getting a few body shots to disorient their enemies, but could the Yellow be a specific kind of Beskar penetrating bolt?
Darksaber being broken was very much a cool fix and some sweet beskar… 100% feels like it comes back
Q&A: Is Molly's tattoo the Death Star firing solution visual?? Would love to hear the story behind the ink.
The boring reason Djarin didn't take his helmet off at the end is that Pedro was busy filming TLOU so wasn't available. It did kind of mess up some possibilities this season, but hey... hopefully we get to see Pedro's face more in season 4 :)
Genuine question: Alex has said a couple of things recently about how he thinks the force works, for example, anyone having the capacity to be force sensitive, or in this episode that he doesn't think it works to just implant it in a clone. I've always taken what Lucas put in Episode 1 about midichlorians to mean that the more you have, the more scope you have to be force sensitive and use the force. And we've seen plenty of altered clones in The Bad Batch. So surely if they can alter a clone's midichlorian count, they can create clones that are capable of learning to use the force? They obviously wouldn't just pop out of the tank and instantly float rocks, but the capacity to learn would be much higher than Gideon's himself.
Good episode. Cheers
Love the animal cameos lol
The Armorers horned helmet hasnt been explained yet, but I do think about the Clone Wars episode when Maul ruled Mandalore and Death Watch altering their helmets.
Q/A: With Ahsoka continuing the story of Rebels and Mando exploring elements of the ST the way Clone Wars did with the PT, do you think that live action may be superseding animation nowadays?
Yes, animation is always adjustable cannon.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get a time skip for season 4, if there is one.
I remember Bo saying in The Clone Wars Season 7 that she wished she knew something other than war. Even though we don't know much of her personal life, I still think she and Djarin could fall in love, which would be a good reason for him to take off his helmet again.
That scene of Grogu saving Bo, Djarin and himself seemed like such a family moment to me. It felt reminiscent of Kanan's sacrifice to save his family, one of the most tearful and resonant scenes ever in Star Wars, to me.
If a Gideon clone did survive, I hope he is a crazed dark Jedi. ❤
So glad that you guys recognized your biases. I think the story is way more meaningful with this true unity of Mandalorians without once again making one sect the bad guys.
As someone with my own religious trauma, I totally get where y’all are coming from, but that doesn’t seem to be where Din is coming from. The covert rescued him. Plus, the real-world implications of the covert and “the helmet rule” is very meaningful to people of other religious backgrounds who do follow what from the outside may look like “stupid” traditions but are very significant to them and their heritage and beliefs.
Also, the Armorer seems to be more of a guide than a dictator, especially since she defers to Paz and the covert to democratically make decisions.
I know y’all probably won’t see this since it’s a week after the fact, but I do genuinely do appreciate y’all’s points of view, but this journey with this show has helped remind me that I can vehemently disagree with y’all and still support the areas where we overlap because I was starting to get heated about our differences 😂
If you can atone anytime you want since they're back on mandalore the helmet rule isn't necessary. Maybe it's always optional on world and was a precaution off world when they're in exile
Q&A: With Jedi Survivor coming out, I had this question on the mind. Of course in an action video game, violence is usually the answer. Cal's gotta swing his lightsaber around and do cool stuff. However, we're always told the Jedi are master diplomats, negotiators and prefer an avenue of non-violence when conflict arises. Yet, in nearly all instances we see in Star Wars media, we actually get, as Anakin called them, "aggressive negotiations". What are some instances where we actually *see* the Jedi peacefully solve a conflict without using their burning hot laser swords to remove one of the sides of the conflict?
Wow, Alex mentioned Kylo then a few seconds that i got that squarespace ad with Adam Driver
If the dark saber was made of beskar, it must have been supremely thin or brittle, because a dark trooper droid smashing Din's head against a starship interior wall couldn't damage his helmet, and I have to imagine that was with at least as much force as Gideon's dark trooper armor glove...
GROGU STEPS IN THE LIVING WATERS HOLDING HIS MACAROONS AND THE MYTHASAUR COMES CRASING ONTO SHORE AND SAYS..."COOOKIE!"..NOM-NOM-!..LMAO!
OMG Dollhouse was such an AMAZING show!!! I miss it!
Q&A: Darksaber had a core of Mandalorian Kyber. Hyuang would recognize it from his memory banks. It's destroyed now but Grogu finds his own shard on Mandalor and holds onto it as a source of strength. Thoughts?
I think retaking Mandalore being bad for their efforts should also include the fact that the Shadow Council at the time already had Mandalore, and losing it would mean losing the influx of resources. Presumably now the SHadow Council no longer has the benefit of Beskar troopers, for instance.
Q&A: what happened to the pterodactyl things that the Mandolorians "adopted"? Did they just leave them on the planet they found them on, or do you think they brought them to Mandalore?
It's uncomfortable to think this, but I'm convinced they ate them at the Mandalorian welcome feast on Navarro. 😐
QnA for Ahsoka do you think we will see characters from the Thrawn canon novels. Like Eli Vanto Admiral Ar'Alan'i etc.?
Q&A: Was Cara Dune killed aboard the shuttle transporting Moff Gideon to trial?
I want Gideon to be dead as well, but there was no body on the platform when the fire died away. Unless he we turned to powder, he either flew away during the fire, or got sucked off the side of the platform somehow.
It wasn't the original version of Gideon. No moustache...
@@zKaltern He's not an action figure, he can shave 💀
@@themadladorian4364 I think you miss the point... None of his clones has a tash, but he always had one...
Moff Gideon is like Gargamel, he’ll always be back.
The thing about the helmet is, I think there are different levels of adherence to Mandalorian orthodoxy. If we're going to go with a comparison to Judaism (which, judging by the episode titles, I think is warranted) you could liken the Mandalorians who keep their helmets on to the Orthodox, and those who don't to the Reformed.
This is a good take. The Children of Watch are more accurately described as fundamentalist than a cult. This season was about the different Mandalorian factions rallying around what unites them instead of what divides them to overcome a common enemy.
My favorite moment was the name drop for Captain Pelleon
Regarding Pershing's mind-wiping, I REALLY thought they were going to end that scene with the scientist going to Kane; "he progressed much further ...THIS TIME" insinuating they'd wiped his mind several times already.
Regarding the helmet rule, TCOTW and religious trauma;
First of all, I would like to same that I am a christian and obviously this affects how I veiw all this and I understand that a great many of you who have not had as positive a relationship with religion as me may and will disagree.
Now onto my thoughts; I do not want Din to remove his helmet because "the children of the watch are a cult, and the helmet rule is a symbol of their dogmatism, and therefore the rule needs to go" (and im aware that is not how anyone views or formulates this argument and is devoid of nuance, it is just the simplest common factor in these arguments). I thibk it would be more interesting to see Din deconstruct, and subsequently reconstruct his faith - an experience that is very common within modern Christian circles, whereby one examines ones own faith and goes back to the Bible and takes a hard look at which beliefs and doctrines are biblical, and those which have been inherited from culture and denomination. I feel we have an abundance (and very hesitantly I dare to say overrepresentation) of stories wherein a character will lose their faith for whatever reason, be it religious trauma (like with ahsoka in TCW) or just losing their faith. What is far less common in stories is the reconstruction side of things, and people sticking with their faith. I believe this can be a more compelling story too, and one in line with themes already being explored in the show, like what it means to be a mandalorian through characters like Cobb vanth and boba fett. It lends itself to exploring more about the origins of the helmet rule, and why the armourer is so dogmatic about it, as well as the role of TCOTW in the new mandalorian society. Whether Din forgoes the helmet or not is besides the point (though I personally would like it to stay), but it would take on a renewed meaning and significance either way.
Sorry for the wall of text, and feel free to disagree with me, I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts
0:26 Yes. Yes we are.
My only thinking for Gideon sending pirates to Navarro was to test the response of the New Republic.
20:51 I believe bo katan said something like "neither side can interfere" or "neither side can break them up." Interesting that Din Grogu was the one to step in.
I think the Crystal was destroyed when the Darksaber was crushed. And it is good.
A new beginning for the Mandalorians 😉
The more questions answered. The more that are created.
Wohoo one hour I like it 😁
I think Din is leaving the helmet on because even if it's not part of the creed going forward, it WAS the creed he swore to. He had given his word to never remove it, and to do so even now would be to break his word.
I think a last crusade holy grail type scene for the dark saber with bo katan, and someone telling her to let it go would have been awesome
WAIT A MINUTE!!! I've heard Buffy references here before, but Dollhouse??? Damn, didn't think I could like this channel more xD
DID I FALL SLEEP?
Forever missing Dollhouse.
In BoBF, Din said the Beskar was of unseen quality and the Armorer said it was thousands of years old. Maybe they will forge the hilt into Grogu’s helmet
Moff Gideon: *destroys an important legacy lightsaber in a big dramatic way* THE DARKSABER IS NO MORE!
Rey: *fixes it off-screen between appearances*
Question: What do you think happened to the 2 dino bird babies the Mandalorians brought back to the covert and called “new foundlings”? I thought they would ride them as mounts but did they eat them instead?
I loved the self reflection about drawing the line between analysis, over analysis, and criticism. It feels like S3 almost broke u guys 😂 im starting to come round to it more, letting go of my personal ideas for the story, but it definitely deserves some criticism for its execution, pacing, etc
If they ever take their helmets off to "dew it", they can always go straight to the living waters easy peasy... and be redeemed. Sooo yeah, there's that! lolll
11:42 in canon we know that, being inherently force-sensitive is not enough to be a force wielding person.
The season finale was amazing 👏 I have watched it several times and pick up new things every time the visuals are award winning
Cant wait foe season 4
Grogu is a Mandolorian
The black saber was stored at the Jedi temple for many years. He didn't need to help build it. He had years to analyze it.
Mollie is beyond amazing.
Dollhouse. Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time, a long time.
Maybe the Armorer imposed the helmet rule to ensure safety for the future of mandalorian culture, as she didn't know what was to come. Therefore, as the retake of Mandalore and unification of the people took place, she recognized it's lack of importance and still allows her people to keep them on, if they want, but no longer being important.
Honestly I think it serves the story much better for the New Era of Mandalore to be one WITHOUT leadership only being passed through mortal combat. Bringing back the Darksaber will be a step backwards during a new era. They need to coexist in a way where they don't have to kill each other in order to pass the torch.
This feels like they should either do some form of democracy/high council or making them more into anarchy where it is up to each Mandalorian to forge their own path a work towards the betterment of mandalore and its people
Q&A: Why do you think Grogu took Mando's first name and Boba took Jango's last name?
My immediate addition to head cannon was that Grogu, sorry, DIN Grogu would one day far from now when he had lived a life learning what the connection to the force means to a Mandalorian, perhaps even after his first century when a threat comes to the scattered tribes of Mandalore, Din Grogu is forced to become a leader and reforges the Darksaber and calls his old friend the Mythosaur from the depths to ride to battle as Mandalore the Uniter... or something. I think there was already a Mandalore the Uniter.
Gideon was wearing his beskar suit of armour, but that blast of sustained, intense flame and heat? He likely got cooked inside his armour, especially in the gaps between its components. He's dead Jim, now get his wallet...
I don't like to speculate on Star Wars much. I like when everyone else does, but personally, I avoid it just to feel comfortable with the outcomes. I don't think anything is wrong with speculation, but when we become attached to them is when I worry.
I wonder if Bo-Katan will be called the Mand'alor or if she's gonna call herself Princess, Queen, Duchess or something
Where did you get the High Republic with the eye shirt?
I think you being more critical shows your authenticity. There is a relatively large part of the fanbase and creators that are critical all the time or literally never critical.
They are going to rebuild the dark Sabre Grogu size, 😂
Boy I sure do hope a Tales of the Jedi explores how Tarre Vizsla crafted the dark saber because I am super upset about its destruction, couldn’t have thrown it to the side “I’m a Jedi like my father” style
