THE MANDALORIAN FINALE BREAKDOWN S3 - WHAT NOW...
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- We end the episode with Din kicking his feet up at his new cabin, and Grogu lifting a frog with the force, like he did when training with Luke Skywalker.
Ok, look, this episode felt more like a they lived happily ever after than a major cliff hanger or a larger threat entering to galaxy. I would have liked if Thrawn’s fleet showed up to kill Gideon perhaps, or show up outside Mandalore. I think they’re keeping Thrawn for the Ahsoka show, as we don’t know where he is at this point. This season of the mandlalorian had no direction like the first 2 seasons. It focused a lot on Bo Katan, which I liked, but I feel like we didn’t get as much Mando as we thought we would, like previous seasons. I hope the next season will return us to Mando and Grogu going on adventures with hopefully a much bigger threat like Thrawn or someone else, Snoke perhaps.
I’m still processing the season, but overall, it just wasn’t nearly as good as the others. Pacing was wild, some episodes moved super fast, while others dragged on, while some just wasted important episode time, like the lizzo episode.
I think the destruction of the dark saber could set this up for Grogu to make his own, considering they save the crystal. Maybe we could learn how they made the dark saber.
Grogu definitely connected with the Mythosaur, I think this is foreshadowing for him to ride the beast and lead Mandalore in the future. Maybe decades from now.
I don't know where Din and Grogu go from here...it kind of seems like they're back to season 1 with his Bouny Hunter days, which were the best parts of the series. Maybe we could have some interesting adventures into the depths of the Galaxy, discovering more force sensitives, bounty hunters or night sisters with magic. Maybe Snoke? Thrawn?

What did you honestly think about this finale and the Mandalorian Season 3 as a whole?
What would you have done if you were writing this season?
The ending just feels like a conclusion, which is nice for the characters, but comparing this to season 2's finale, not nearly as exciting, and that goes for the entire season.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you for joining the watch parties and for hanging out with me and the community for the last 8 weeks. I had a blast!
Not good
@@zibilacoste5 hey genius season 4 is already confirmed. Rumors say it starts filming this October.
I liked the happy ending, but it was unearned. It never feels satisfying if the character doesn’t earn it
I think it was one of the episodes of all time. The acting was, and the writing was as well.
I didnt mind the season overall but the finale was massively underwhelming and answered zero questions really. Would have been nice to get an end credits scene related to another upcoming show or S4 as well.
I cried when Skinny Pete told Bo Katan “Yo, this is the way and shit.” before sacrificing himself. Another great scene was when he showed the mandalorians the underground gardens and said “This is church yo.” But by far the best scene was when Gus said “Last chance to look at me Grogu.” before getting engulfed by the flames, truly one of the moments in Star Wars. Bravo Vince.
This is an underrated comment 😂😂😂😂
This shit had me crying bruh
I see what you did there
I liked when Axe yelled "MAGNETS BITCH!!" and did the things
"you're my heroine and shit" - Sk'in-e Pye't
Gideon was basically the fanbase this season “where is Thrawn? I want to see Thrawn!” And “Why did you kill the clones before they even did anything???”
Exactly, force sensitive clones would have been such a good season!
(Read my reply below. Ignore this) Wouldn’t they have been guarded first of all? If anything, Din would have had to have to battle his way through the men defending it.
@@Bobafett-lc2vx he literally did bruh… did you not watch the episode? He had to fight like 12 gaurds to get to the tanks… y’all be saying anything to complain 🤣😭
@@CaptainRockoBDHe went through like 5 stormtroopers. I wouldn’t call that well protected…
@@frederikcamilodahl3551 well they did have shields so yh
Gideon was like a mix of Maul and Vader. Mech-strength, robot voice, horned helmet, dual tipped staff. Gideon seems to love combining things together
Yet, he accused Mandalorians of being weak without their trinkets. The hypocrisy.
@@DenizTurkmen truuuu i noticed that instantly also
It’s because Disney doesn’t have any original ideas. They can only remix George’s work just like an AI
he wants to be darth vader so bad
@@hans8228 i mean who wouldn’t (im him)
The Mythosaur's eye opening was in response to grogu reaching out through the force. We see grogu reach his hand out ,and concentrate before it transition to the Mythosaur shot I'm pretty sure they are suggesting that grogu is going to be the next Tarre vizsla.
i agree and i think Grogu is going to be the one that remakes the dark saber that's why he didn't take Yoda's old lightsaber.
@@jrnreed5171 Agreed and I think he will unite mandalorians for centuries.
The shot perfectly captured the connection between grorgu and the mythosaur
@@venom4091 the Mando's are united, the darksaber is a curse...
It's stupid because he's not a mandalorian so he can't be mandalore ffs
The scene where axe was flying straight through the storm was sick. Also, Axe went 1v20 against the tie fighters and drove the cruiser to crash the base. Axe Wolfe is a badass.
Also, fun theory.. was if axe Wolfe is a clone of jango fett? He looks like him
@@gersoncruz4570 one like boba and omega that ages normally?
Everything around that base for about 10 miles would have been obliterated when that cruiser dove head-on into the planet and there would have been a massive crater in the ground. Bye-bye baby yoda. So stupid.
Axe woves
@@RedRocket415 well the surface was very much crystallized. And besides, it was already falling apart in reentry.
They built up the force sensitive cloning plot line since the beginning of season one, and it ended with Din pressing control+delete on an unprotected computer while Moff Gideon waits outside the door while he does this
I think its not over yet
@@skueazzy3917 yeah they’ll butcher it more
And don’t forget Gideon knew where they were… and he did NOTHING to protect his clones…?
there's probably a prototype clone or something out there for future season(s) that would surprise us all.
Was it just me, but did Gideon's clones look his age? Why would you make old clones?
God man Giancarlo just can't escape an explosion can he? You know he definitely asked for that to be the way he went out or Filoni and Favreau just pitched it to him and he maniacally laughed and said "Yes!"😅
“Last chance to look at me Bo-Katan”
This role is perfect for him!
In this episode, they had one of the best Jetpack battles I’ve ever seen. It’s nice to know nobody ran out of fuel.
Well they didn't have to chase a bird a thousand miles across the planet in this episode so it makes sense
In their defense we never knew exactly how long they were chasing the bird
Eco-friendly fuel 😉
The battles in this episode reminded me of both Return of Jedi and a bit like Avengers: Endgame combined.
@@skywalker6648 we were watching that battle and I said, "On your left..."
They should have included an after-credits scene with the Shadow Council discussing Gideon's failure and Thrawn's hologram appearing and saying "it is time to move into the next stage" or something ominious. That could still keep the actual face reveal of Thrawn for the Ahsoka show, but we would get a glimpse of him returning.
I was waiting for that too! lol
A post credit scene could’ve really saved this episode
I was also waiting for that! Even if we didn't see Thrawn, I thought we'd still see Brendol Hux and the others discussing how Gideon's downfall was all part of the plan, a continuation of Operation Cinder's efforts to eliminate the Empire's weak links. Maybe even a revelation that the Armorer was secretly working with Hux or Pellaeon toward that end.
Im with u they shouldve thought they was gonna have some type of after credit
Thrawns face was in the behind closed doors ahsoka trailer from celebration
Red shield doors was my favorite part, Din fighting them off one door at a time I feel he should have been doing stuff like that throughout the season
Yeah of course they leave the badassery for the last episode
@@fawzanahmad9781 right. Don’t get me wrong, love Bo, but I can’t believe how much Din was sidelined on his own show. I’m semi satisfied with the ending. But if we get a forth season I really want to see more Din and Grogu for MOST of it
Oh, geez.
Would have been cool if it had been done in longer takes, felt a bit choppy for my liking
Mine too. I think we were all a bit too spoiled seeing Luke essentially doing something similar in Season 2. It maybe made this scene a little less climactic for some. But not me. I was cheering during the whole battle.
Grogu learned well from Luke, he took the high ground instantly
and S4 was confirmed by Filoni!
Season 4 before the Filoni movie.
One thing I did like was Din’s thoughts on droid In season 1 he HATED them with a passion. By end of season 3, he’s come to accept them, which proofing of allowing Grogu to effector be in a droid, and even calling R5 ‘buddy’ when he was helping him get through the doors etc. I like that, shows a path of acceptance
Even better, you can see he still harbors some bias as seen in Ep. 6(?) with the B2’s.
I love how we were all expecting someone to save the Mandalorians. But, nope. They saved themselves. That was an amazing twist.
"Spoilers" and "theories" imploded
Yea it was, and if anybody realises that the ”spies” was imperials like elia kane, gideon…
*Axe woves saves the galaxy*
Star Wars fans when they unlock the good ending:
**Confused screaming**
This season more than the rest was Mando focused.
I love how they didn't have enough jetpack fuel to pursue the foundling when he was kidnapped, yet had seemingly unlimited fuel the last few episodes. Even enough to fly off the planet.
My first thought during that scene
dude Ikr! how is it possible for Axe to fly through the stratosphere with just a jet pack?? If thats possible that what the hell is the point of a starship
They were on low fuel in episode 3 😂
@@eugeniawong249 Well a ship is probably faster and the pilot/passengers are protected inside. With the jetpack Axe is much lighter and was able to overcome the planet’s escape velocity, plus it’s much less weight than a ship so less propulsion force is needed. The cruiser looked to be in low orbit so he didn’t have to leave the planet completely which also helped. What’s a bit unrealistic is I’m not sure if his body should be able to withstand all that, he’s not got an Iron Man suit but still got Beskar armor.
They forgot to fill up at the Costco gas station before that scene
I feel like Grogu getting stuck under the scaffold was his fear though. He was alone, about to be killed, fear clouded his ability to focus and then once Din arrived that fear cleared away and he was able to focus cuz "Daddy" was here
Totally. He's young and only got a lil training in managing his fear. His powers will only grow. But maybe its more fun to be overly critical like this video and say "That was weird I didnt like it" 🤦♂
@@tonydoinstuff Sure, some people find it fun to be overly critical. I think fear is a _somewhat_ valid excuse for what happened there. I don't know if it's enough, though. What about Grogu messing with stormtroopers when kept alone with them (and Moff Gideon?) in that cell near the end of season two? Keep in mind, this is _two years ago_ and before he received any training from Luke Skywalker. Apart from that point of comparison, what about the fear he must've felt as the explosion was about to consume him along with Din and Bo-Katan?
Perhaps they are setting it up for Din Grogu to build his first lightsaber with the Darksaber crystal and ride the Mythosaur eventually becoming the long lasting leader of Mandalor.
I love how it ended, Mando staring of into the distance & grogu playing with a frog
Looney Tunes be like😅
A real Simple Jack ending
I agree. Left me hopeful that season 4 will be more like 1 and 2
One thing that some might have missed is that usually Grogu uses the force to eat the frogs but in this instance he let it go free. Feels like he is maturing
@@clipfisto7717 how 😂💀
I think they had a missed opportunity to present Thrawn and have a double meaning to the Title of the episode "Return" which refers to Mandalorians returning to mandalore, but if Thrawn was hinted at it could have also been the return of Thrawn
Thrawn is not going to be shown, until the Ahsoka series. Why would he care about Mando? He has bigger fish
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325they didn't have to show Thrawn next to Mando or close to him, just a quick sneak peak like Thrawn being in his ship receiving a communication that Gideon died and then a quick shot of Thrawn smiling because he knew Gideon was against him, that would be enough for me🔥
And that being a perfect intro to Ahsoka show. Why not having one of the force sensitive clones survive and have a fight with mando, grogu and bo vs gideon, red guards and clone?
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 Because Gideon himself was wondering where Thrawn was. Would've been so easy to put a quick teaser at the end to show he is indeed around before we get into Ahsoka.
they purposefully closed all ties in this series and didn't want to leave any cliffhangers so they could end the series if they wanted to, and imo after the ratings we saw we are not getting a season 4, next time you will see mando and grogu will be in the filoni movie.
I’m guessing reason why Gideon destroyed dark saber was because if he couldn’t have it then no one can, plus I still think dark saber is still fine as long as crystal okay
Hopefully Din or Bo took it so it's not lost forever. I'm hoping for grogu to be able to take the crystal and that part he likes from the razor crest to create his lightsaber
Wouldn't be surprised if The Amorer reforges the darksaber hilt since its made of a high quality beskar.
I feel like grogu is going to end up remaking the dark saber
The darksaber is a curse.
I didn't see a crystal. It looked completely destroyed except the handle.
I love how everybody was adamant that either the Armorer or Axe Woves were double crossing their own people... and they were all dead wrong.
because there were implications like episode 6 or 7 being called the spies and not the spy
If any of the mandalorian were traitors, Gideon would not have been so shocked and disturbed by them working together. He would have already known.
Also, the other spy is Gideon. He's ISB. Spying is what he does.
@@Smokey348 lul making theories based on the name of the episodes xD
@@frantisekbabic9683 i mean, why would you call the episode plural 'spies' and only show 1 spy like cmon
@@frantisekbabic9683 I wasn't invested in the theories myself, but considering the titles have seemed to accurately reflect what the episode features, why wouldn't the distinction between plural and singular matter? You make it sound like it's dumb, but it was only sensible for people invested enough to wonder who else was a spy when only one seemed to be clear. It actually just seems like it was a dumb title now, but I can't remember a precedent for a misleading title before in this series. Can you?
The way Grogu’s eyes lit up in the episode when Din adopted him was amazing and made me laugh
I really like that they took the time to SHOW this season that Grogu is growing and learning and observing the world around him. He looked almost upset he couldn't take on the Creed until Din adopted him.
Are you soccer mom? I want good writing. grogu being cute isn't enough.
@@ibrahimeljemli3822 go write your own queefy fanfic. Dopey
I saw someone say that this season seemed to be written out of obligation rather than inspiration. Spot on
It was I heard that they had rushed Jon and he had to scrap a bunch of the script due to deadlines
@@Smacked420 has that actually been confirmed, I would assume but we don’t rlly know.
@@Smacked420 fans need to stop trying to convince themselves that Kathleen somehow decided to interfere. She’s always been involved and this season was written almost entirely by Jon and Dave. Even more so than the first two. It’s on them more than anything.
@@joshdelagarza231 yes that! Plus I think Star Wars fans need to be a bit les toxic.
@@Smacked420 expecting something good just because jon is working on it is something that's gotten way outta hand it was a weak season jon has stinkers sometimes and this season was definitely a stinker I like the guy but everyone acts like he can't do wrong or make something star wars related that's bad when that's been shown to be not the case i blame him and Kathleen personally they both think mando is a more interesting show than it actually is
Loved that when Regnar was taking the oath now, they didn't have the part about not removing the helmet.
he had his dads helmet on this time didn’t he?
@@CRONKTEZ Nah, Ragnar had the same helmet as the beginning of the season. Look at how plain it is, too. My guess is that Paz’s body was never recovered.
@@WilliamFord972 ah i rewatched that part, yeah it’s the same one he had in the beginning. I guess i saw the same colors and was hoping for something to honor paz vizla. They kinda left his death in ceremoniously. But Ragnar will keep Vizla name alive
I like how the Mandalorians didn't have enough jet pack fuel to chase a dinosaur earlier in the season yet Axe Wolves has enough jetpack fuel to breech the Karman line and get into outer space. This whole battle felt like a round of Star Wars Battlefront.
My family thought that as well.
Was it outerspace or just upper atmosphere? Using earth as a comparison. 40,000 feet or so would put you above a lot of thunderstorms like the storms shown in the storm. SR 71 flew close to 80k ft btw. Convert that to miles, about 7 and a half miles. The raptor thing definitely could've flown the youngling farther away than 7 or 8 miles. Say flying horizontally takes less fuel... but still, the raptors could fly hundreds of miles away theoretically. It's a whole freaking planet we are talking about. Nothing unreasonable here. Think of the jet packs as good for short range dogfights, but not long range bombing runs.
Why does everyone keep saying “Wolves?” It’s “Woves.”
@@WilliamFord972 Autocorrect.
@White Rose Motors I got the feeling it was just the upper atmosphere. Right at the edge of space.
The thing you are missing with Gideon isn’t that his cloning plan makes sense. It’s that it illuminates Gideon’s narcissism.
Ding ding ding!
Do you think they're doing a rick and Morty and this Gideon is clone that thinks he's the original?
@@isaacdeanda3364 also possible. People be making full conclusions when we know there's a season 4. We also didn't see a body. No body. No death. That's TV rule #1
@@Mr-R.R. I think at least one of the clones could have escaped. Get ready for Darth Gideon
@@ricofed439 the one i kept thinking about though, was the fact that Gideon let Din destroy the clones. I'm heavily leaning on "let" because they made it very clear that Gideon could see his exact steps in real time and was also waiting for him. So why would he be shocked that Din destroyed them or even let him do it if he was gonna react like that? Hopefully there's something to do. But i won't get mad if there isn't. It's a theory after all lol
That video game analogy as Din was progressing through the shields was spot on. It really was like he was getting to the next level and looting as each shield went down.
And even the last fight
gideon vs bo katan and din jarin felt like video game you know
Shoot the bad guy wearing armor until the health bar is empty or he is knocked down also dodge him and protect grogu
Dude its literally like a boss fight and it was so cool 😂😂😂
It felt like a Lego Star Wars boss fight
Even the ending, where he got a home (base) to come back to in between quests.
@@dancingdonkey5106 it’s like bro finished the campaign and unlocked multiplayer
Felt like he was speedrunning a rouge-like. It was a very satisfying fight.
Grogu’s jump vs the pretorian guards reminds me of Yoda’s jump against Count Dooku in Episode II in Geonosis, you know, jumping and dodging saber attacks.
11:20 “burning Gideon, Los pollos Hermanos style” killed me with that line 😂💀😭
The scene where Din's fighting with his hands bound is better than literally any scene from the sequel trilogy. That whole sequence gave me John Wick vibes!
for some reason I REALLY love that roundhouse kick he did that was incredible.
its cliche
How original
Sequels were great
dins got a cold leg lock
I like that they actually gave it a “ending” feel, even if they do go on. It takes guts not to tease the 18,000 different planned spin-offs
Favreau said we were halfway in the series, so theres 2-3 seasons coming
Closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. 😆
"Gutsy" is the last word I'd use to describe this season. "Lazy" is a much more fitting one.
It’s almost feels as if they’re leaving Din and Grogu for a video game. Imagine a game that takes place 10+ years after this and you play as Ragnar Vizsla. You would totally come to their cabin for quest and or side missions.
@RedRocket415 nah, it did take some kind of guts. Especially under disney. I feel like every show now had a cliffhanger or ending credit scene. I didn't like this ending because there was nothing at the end. However, the more i thought about it, the more i liked it. It was refreshing to just have a happy ending
Gideon wasn't from a special species, no. And neither did he know the first thing about the force, but I think that he felt so superior all by himself that he assumed or believed that he "earned" it to have clones and the force.
Edit: To make it clear - Moff Gideon felt so superior out of egotistical reasons. He came up with the plan and almost made it happen, so he thought very highly of himself.
Yep! I mean, he said as much in episode 7 when he said that the best thing about his new beskar dark armor was that HE was in it....from that line alone it was obvious the clones he was making were going to be him + the force.
From an imperial view he was a special species. Empire is very human supremacist. He also survived it's fall and his apparent death-twice. And escaped republic custody. He would definitely think he is a superior being.
I agree. He just wanted so badly to be force sensitive that he did whatever he had to. If one scientist couldn't do it, he'd just move on to the next until it worked. He was not logical, just power hungry and self-absorbed. The storyline is consistent with his motivation.
@@cyberlouis but the weird thing is that we know that Dr Pershing didn't complete his research before he got arrested. So how was Gideon able to make the clones? Pershing in that one holo message in S2 said he needed more blood because his attempts failed. Also Gideon was able to make the clones force sensitive even without having Grogu so why did he want to aquire him so desperately in previous seasons
@@adamH.1 There is a lot of strangeness surrounding the whole thing like, how did Gideon know they were force sensitive if they were still in their tubes? I think at the end of Season 2, Gideon did tell Din Djarin that he already had what he needed from Grogu so he was going to let DD take Grogu (that was before Gideon tried to kill DD). I do think during the time Grogu was prisoner on Gideon's ship more blood was extracted. On a side note, I am hearing some theories about Grogu's blood being used to help clone Palpatine. I doubt that. Palpatine would have probably saved some of his own blood for this purpose (he knew he was getting old and the dark side was making him look a little rough--at some point he would need a new body).
4:31 I honestly like this, it speaks to Moff Gideons ambition and hubris that have taken him so far but also causes his demise, I found it poetic.
When Max showed up on the cruiser and told everybody to get out, I thought he was gonna end up betraying them
@@repticare101 I thought that would’ve been too on the nose tbh I like the idea of the mandalorians getting back to being honorable
same man ... would be actually more intresting because all this felt way too easy
@@repticare101 oh yeah the guy that was angry with bo katan betraying them very interesting huh
Axe
We don’t get happy endings often so this was a good ending for me, i liked it. Very much spot on with the fact that we don’t need another season but it is possible.
Season 4 is coming next year and probably after will be season 5 and then comes mando movie
Happy endings not often?
I remember people were complaining those were to often and so we started getting sad endings even in Marvel.
TRASH 🤡
@@Max-zu8xj i meant in star wars, it’s not super common in this franchise
@@raghav1026 In this case you're right
According to Favreau, Grogu actually spent 2 years training with Luke, from Mando S2 finale to when Boba shot Bib Fortuna.
I really loved the season finale! Even if we imagine how they could have done this or that better, it was well done overall, exciting, and satisfying in my opinion.
I love how in ep.7 Gideon says he doesn't have an obsession with cloning yet this whole time it's been his thing and it's now released he was cloning himself and was trying to make them force sensitive.
That’s…the point. He was lying to the other imperials. He wants to be in charge, so he’s keeping his unstoppable army a secret until it’s ready. Then no other warlords could stand up to him
Star Wars is dead
He lied.
He was lying to the other council members… that was the whole point of the scene. We as a viewer know he does cloning, but he does not want others to know
I see you haven’t learned that people lie
I think Din is just the type of guy who prefers the simple life, just settle down in a place to raise his son in peace, go on adventures around the galaxy, take out Imperial remnants along the way.
Just a simple man making his way in the galaxy
Yeah, a known Mandalorian bounty hunter, killing 8 veterans in a row starting without weapons, owning a N1 starfighter, taking care of a force sensitive child of the same race as Yoda.
Just a simple man...
😂
Nice deep cut, there.
@@Max-zu8xj yeah, and he's THE mandalorian. it even says so in the subtitles for episodes
It ain't much but it's honest work
Nice breakdown as always Theory!
Pumped for Ahsoka!
The shield scene, Moff Gideon fight and the effects where the best things about this episode
If they decide to make a MMORPG again, this would be the perfect timeline in Star Wars history to do it. These past 3 season has a ton of quest hubs! I love it❤
God, I'd love a new version of Star Wars Galaxies with the updated lore.
Check out Star Wars galaxies restoration! They are doing amazing work!!
@@Cirris God, I love it if starwars was actually good again
@@matthewflores4183 Idk you guys seem to complain no matter what. It is good but could certainly be much better.
@@matthewflores4183 star wars is good aside from the Sequels
I think this finale really illustrated Moff Gideon's monumental EGO. He believed his clones would be masters of the Force due to arrogance. Same with him ONLY having a couple of troopers dragging Din--he's arrogant about the Beskar armor making his forces unstoppable. Ultimately, he assumed his talking trash about Thrawn wouldn't have consequences, and...he didn't get the backup he asked for.
The Empire isn't known for promoting excessively competent people.
i struggle with star wars at the moment but you and your enthusiasm for the good and the bad make it easier. cheers
I haven’t watched a lot of your videos, but that brief insight into how you would have written this season was awesome! That would have been a million times better than what they did!
My only real disappointment is that the Mandalorians didn't shout their "FOR MANDALORE!!!" battle cry during their jetpack charge at the start of the big battle. Bo Katan really looked like she was going to say it, hiding the Darksaber in front of her and all.
My only disappointment this season was writing, terrible cut editing, cheap CGI and costume design, horrendous cameos for twitter ideologue points, music that wasn’t Star Wars, KK’s stink since BoBF and a general sense of meaninglessness to this season but otherwise it was pretty good.
@@zetterburger i have not watched this season yet. What's with the cameos for twitter ideologue points?
I personally thought the main battle was the best part of the episode! Really good cgi, and the way they fought with the jet packs, even Bo Katan! It seriously had that clone wars, death watch style to it…. I loved the finale! This season was a simple season. Kind of a conclusion to the previous two. Going forward we will see them move onto a much bigger plot that connects all the future shows as one!
remember during the old republic all the people the mandolorain's killed , entire world's , yeah really good people , pfff
@@zetterburger get cncr and dy
I feel like the Dr Pershing episode was completely useless after what happened with the clones in this episode. Didn't dislike the season, but I was just expecting more after what we got in the first two seasons. Needed more.
This whole season showed that they could have knocked out that Pershing arc in 15 minutes. There was no need for it to be longer than every single episode except for 7. That seems a bit ridiculous to me.
Yeah what actually happened to him????? And to the girl that betrayed him???
@@zechrojas2202 it belonged in another show
@@daanamelink7148 watch Rangers to find out. Oh no, Kathleen fired Gina and cancelled it.
I have a feeling that storyline will be part of the larger story arc to be expanded upon in seasons 4 and 5.
A positive video, thank you for this.
Having Thrawn just off in the distance in a like first order cruiser, watching Gideon fail would have been a nice touch. Him watching how his enemies react in a battle situation for future encounters like he did in Rebels. Then saying something snarky and clever as they just warp out.
This is a perfect ending without any tedious cliffhanger that forces us to a particular point in time at the start of the next season. This way it's much more open where they continue Din's story
Consoomer lol
Consooooooooooom
i also liked how it ended. Din and Grogu get a house together and live happily ever after. end of story. now we can move away from this disaster of a show.
@dancingvalkyrie all because someone likes something doesn't mean they are a "consoomer". Jesus, let people like what they like. But, hey it's the internet.
@@RequiemKingEdits literally it's like you can't enjoy anything
Them introducing vegetation is actually something that I had questioned the entire time that they were talking about retaking Mandalore. I was saying to myself, what is the point of repopulating Mandalore if the soil is useless. Glad they touched on that.
I appreciate you sense of style 🤩
I was really scared that Axe Woves was the spy. The fact that everyone evacuated to support Bo and was headed to the base, it felt like a move Thrawn would make. The mandalorians not second guessing an order and leaving their most powerful ship in the hands of one man. Axe could have radioed Gideon and Gideon would have everyone right where he wants them. Sort of a fish in a barrel scenario with the tie bombers and the Arquitens turbo lazers shooting at the base, while the tie defenders deal with any ships trying to escape. But nevertheless I really liked that nobody was a traitor.
okay
While I honestly liked this season and found it slow in some episodes, I want to be fair here and say, it would be near impossible (to me at least) to top S2 ending with Luke coming in like a boss. Has me in tears every time. I hope there are future seasons and I hope it's more Mando and Grogu focused with appearances from Bo and the rest. In a strange way, I kind of want to just see him spend a season bounty hunting again.
True. I did get emotional however at the moment when grogue shielded din and bo against the fire with the force.
I'm left with unanswered questions from this season, alot more I'd like to see, and wished the finale was longer. However, the finale was satisfying. When Din adopted Grogu was awesome, the mythosaur waking up again, the armoror NOT being a spy, I loved it. Here's hoping for season 4
Who were the spies?
@@EckerKyleThe mandalorians were. They essentially had to spy on their own planet in order to retake it.
@@welcometothejungl3 But how can you spy on something that you didn’t even know was there until it was too late?
Seriously people thought the armorer is a spy 😂😂😂
With what logic bruh
Totally agreed with you on this breakdown and the review of this season
i really enjoyed this breakdown… cant wait already for S4 of The Mandalorian💁🏻♀️💯
The armorer flying down and cracking someone with the hammer was badass
She took points in Titan's Grip
I hope next season kinda goes back to season one where they are bounty hunting, while also training Din Grogu hopefully he gets a light saber some day that would be cool.
That’s the vibe I’m getting too. I want something smaller in scale and more of its own thing without relying on “hey look it’s your favorite character appearing!”.
Mandalorian Jedi
I think this was the last season of the story.
Yes but they could have reached the same end with better storyline for this season.
Why would Grogu get a saber when he chose not to become a Jedi, and instead, follow Din?
i like how you connect everything even that you don't like the sequels
This is so dope 😍 Oh wow absolute awesome video
I loved Din Grogu shielding Bo-Katan and Din Djarin from the fire explosion beautifully cinematic
Overall a pretty satisfying conclusion for Din Djarin's arc adopting the foundling he vowed to protect
Especially the way he gently falls back on his ass after a strength draining force using event. Ha ha ha! Hilarious!
I loved that part too. Kanan Jarrus vibes.
@@AyeITSgio exactly what I thought
I loved it too! Grogu and Mando scenes have made me emotional multiple times across all three seasons and Boba Fett
For all of the emotional and character stuff this season lacked, that was pretty satisfying.
After so much angst in Star Wars, I think we were overdue for some fluff/angst with a happy ending. An ending doesn't need to be big and bombastic, or earth shattering, or disheartening....So long as it's satisfying. And seeing Din Djarin get to sit on a simple yet nice porch watching his son play in the sun, (something he himself never got to do as a child) IS satisfying. As the Armorer herself said "THIS is the way."
they shot themselves in the foot having Luke appear in the last season finale people can say what they want but i know every one of us die hard fans watching was expecting something huggee that's why it feels more disappointing
@@dobronx666 I was mostly just expecting something to go down with the mythosaur and MAYBE thought the Armorer was the traitor spy. But neither happened HOWEVER that shot of Grogu looking into the water could be setup for the future-that he'll be the ruler of mandalore. Who knows. But I certainly wasn't expecting anthing HUGE. Other than more angst cause that's Filoni's specialty lol
@@TheRibottoStudios they have big mandalorian movie coming. The shows are supposed to all connect
@@dobronx666 I kinda disagree. I think everyone is mostly mad because the season as a whole feels pointless, pacing didn’t pick up until the end which made the ending anticlimactic.
@@TheRibottoStudios but its a season finale of a show that's been dry and under performing so many people have just zooned out because of this very thing there was literally no big intense moments even when Grogu got locked with them guards everyone thought he was going to do something mad and murk those dudes but no Mando comes in, the episode being just over 30 minutes was a bummer and not necessary Gideons clone being shown for 1 minute then being killed so much was rushed just wasn't necessary and fair don't even think there was a moment when it looked like any main character was going to die no risks was taken at all season 2 was epic that's why I have these thoughts. Plus the fricking dark saber whatt? come on man Gideon died anyway why couldnt BO just murk him with it instead of Gideon beating her up, a character that weve got so much stock in at least give her a moment
Love the vids dude
I absolutely loved it !!!
This felt more like a series finale than a season finale.
I laughed so hard when Gideon got angry at them destroying his clones. I was like mf you knew exactly where they were and decided to ambush them AFTER the clone room, not before hahaha. What did you think they would do in that room?
Lol facts
Yeah I was like wtf
Yeah, he literally cried out about it, lol.
literally sacrificed everything
a Gideon Harem running a Chicken Resturaunt in space ?
Theory, your vision of the season and ending sounds like a really great idea and even with the same ending in the cabin would have felt very satisfying
Gideon cloning himself to create a force-sensitive army was a throwback to the Reborn and Shadow Troopers, from Jedi Outcast.
Great game
I feel similar to how i felt after watching Kenobi. Yes, there were some great things, but did it meet my expectations? No. Really hopeful for Ashoka much love Theory keep it up!!!
Kenobi was a average show with EPIC MOMENTS that was all we needed the key moments between Anakin and Obi was everything the story wasn't even important no one would of thought we would get that fight between them when the show was announced so to me it superseded all expectations, This season of Mando was really really dry and it didn't have the epic moments to keep the fans buzzing glad you said it how it is and didnt hype it up for something we all know it wasn't.
@@dobronx666 I’ll be completely honest, the Hayden & Ewan scene at the end is better than the entirety of Mando season 3… EASILY. Felt like that show was built around their confrontation.
This was the first season that I can see Kennedy being hands on... and it fucked everything. This was the worst season of the show and i fear for season 4.
@@BoliveiraNTPW Y’all gotta stop blaming KK for everything. And not only that, just because one season was meh doesn’t mean it’s going to be like that forever. Stranger Things was the same way and it’s Season 4 was arguably the best of the series.
It was so cute when Din adopted Grogu as his son i can’t wait to see what grogu is like whenever he’s seen again hopefully in the Sequels to the Rise of skywalker
Usually agree with Theory, but this was definitely my favorite seasons by far.
I loved the finale and was just so relieved it didn’t end in a negative note after the Bad Batch ending. I was satisfied.
Disney bot 🤖
This episode really made me feel like "The Mandalorian" is actually Grogu. His abilities will allow him to ride the mythasuar and be the true Mandalorian
Nailed it. This has always been about him becoming one as well. When you just looked in the water and pointed that “there’s something down there” it’s kind of hilarious.
That's my prediction too.
ya your right...and that is just pure cheese
@@r.pinheiro549 I'm agree with you
The moment he said his plan was force sensitive clones I thought it was a really bad idea. I immediately thought they would rebel and kill Gideon at some point and go rogue.
I feel like the way this season ended would be a perfect setup for an open-world Mandalorian Star Wars video game, GTA-style
10:42 It was confirmed in the Book of Boba Fett that Beskar weapons can pierce Beskar armor, so Gideon being able to crush the Darksaber with his suit is plausible.
Also if just enhanced strength which he had.
Crush the lightsaber anyway
All in all I was happy with how it ended and grogu creating a force field to save his pops and bo brought a tear to my eye
And he didn't pass out this time, strong in the force he has become!
You had me dead at "Los Pollos Hermanos style"
When din reached for the gun of that falling trooper all i could think of was that commercial "ohhh you gotta be quicker than that"
12:36 When Grogu saved Mando and Mando told him ''You did good, kid.'' after defeating Praetorian Guards, Grogu said something that sounded suspiciously close to ''Thanks''.
I didn’t see your comment first but I just posted about this not too long ago so we’re not the only ones! No CZcams channels that I watch are talking about this and it seems like it should be a bigger deal. Let’s see if it catches some steam in the coming days. If it is true we have established that he still will have a toddler’s voice for the foreseeable future unless they do a time jump or make him transform to rapidly mature as Theory was speculating.
I think he just said eh!
@@Lord_Arcann lol seriously though. People be trying so hard to hear/see what they want 🤣
Tbh i thought i heard the same
I rewound that part 5 times. He definitely said thanks.
I like that they didn't do a big cliffhanger. They know they don't need to do one to bring us back for S4
Low key see the cliff hanger they gave us we see how Mando is now a new republic bounty hunter so it kinda hints at him hunting thrawn or even the shadow council I think they hinted at it idk just a thought
I love when you do a nuanced critical review of an episode like this. Wish you did that for the Andor stuff you didn't like, I think there's a huuuge difference in many aspects.
Those guards got overwhelmed with the two very different fighting styles. One using a blaster with hand to hand combat while the other is literally just playing like you're a bunch of action figures.
The Armorer altered the code in the end for the Vizla kid. She left the helmet part out.
I really liked that Gideon was merely trying to clone himself. Tying the Mandalorian into the sequels would have truly ruined it for me. Instead, we got some glimpses into Gideon's character. As Theory mentioned, even with the Force, his clones wouldn't have been that powerful without the proper training and experience. Moreover, my very first thought was that they wouldn't obey him, and would likely kill him and then possibly kill one another. All of this just adds to Gideon's misguided view of the Force and of himself, likely believing himself to be greater than he is, and capable of doing things that he can't do.
@@FDJUwe That "old" person almost destroyed both Din and Bo Katan, lol.
@@skywalker6648 True, but remember, he's litteraly wearing a mech suit, listen to each step and movement he makes.
@@niehoe3048 That's actually a modified and different suit from earlier seasons suited for this battle. Also, he still has to move and fly in this new one, lol.
@@FDJUwe The point though was to show how much of a narcissist Moeff Gideon was that he used clones of himself, lol. Yeah, the worst was Snoke in the last trilogy. I wonder if thrawn will be added next season and/or simply intersect with the Jedi Ahsoka series coming out soon.
I was trying to remember where I had seen that fire move 👏🏼👏🏼
I agree with @SWTheory assessment as usual!
I cried unexpectedly when Din adopted Grogu. It was a feel good great moment in the finale. 😊 loved the finale even though it was short.
Disney bot spotted + embarrassing to cry at the worst character in Star Wars
This weirdly felt like could of been a great ending to the show, Din and Grogru finally are Master and Apprentice.
I think the very last shot was framed that way intentionally with the zoom on Grogu too. Like a "happily ever after" nod.
Great vid bro keep up the work, one day i hope to have an account like you
I'm glad that the characters got a happy ending. Personally I'm very tired of the bittersweet endings that are so popular today
They should reforge the dark saber for Grogu, I feel that is one of the reasons they had it destroyed.
Well the crystal probably survived
@@FDJUwe I agree, I was in class so I was tying quick. The armorer will forge the the pieces of the hilt, Grogu would obviously be the one whom assembles it.
Dave just confirmed that Mandalorian season 4 is 100% coming and he’s already written the scripts for it. He also said they’re looking into a season 5 also
Bruh the cow milk is gone... how long you people will cling on disney unfullfilling content
Even if it happens it will be another 3 years before it happens most of us will be dead.
Jon Favreau has written the next season and has the plan for the rest of the series. Filoni isn't writing aside from spots and maybe an episode here and there. He's doing Asohka and likely the movie. Mando is Jon's baby.
@@tehbakinblack no no no it ALL belongs to the dark lord of the sith Darth Kennedy!"she is the way".
I hope the writing is better and has a more consistent flow like the first two seasons.
The mythoso was a thing I wanted. Can’t wait for next season 😊
bro your version of Szn 3 is so good. makes me sad to not see it
They took the safe route, it was shorter than I would have liked, but still really good. Was hoping for Din and Bo to have a moment as well. Maybe in season 4 👍
I can't imagine having such a shit life that I still find happiness in Disney SW.....
I was hoping that too. Hope for season 4
@@AmericanNationalist852 this was good though I agree with y’all most of the time but this was good I have watched 3 times and it’s still good.
@@AmericanNationalist852 bro, your the one with the shit life… what happy person post multiple hate comments designed to ruin people’s fun, relax bud it’ll be ok👍
@@Dhxgdbdhhxhdjdj 3 timessssss jheeze
All I gotta say is one thing. RIP to the dark saber. One of the coolest weapons so iconic with its look and sound and it meant a lot to Mandos. A great weapon forgotten instantly by everyone in mando now 😢
They still got the forge, their planet, and the mighty mythosaur, as well as their company
Grogu might get the training needed to fix up the Dark Sabre.
If the Mandalorians made that Dark Saber, they should be able to make a new one.
I don't think you saw the last of one.
I kinda feel like they didnt leave it on a cliff hanger is because they want to make a time jump from between this season and the next so we can see grogu more grown up and having him do more training with the force while also doing bounty hunting between
i think there is many unresolved plots, especially the Mythosaur. can't wait to see more (the ending was pretty intreasting. but also odd i thought. Din settling down for now)
