Interesting note of trivia, that was mentioned in the show itself : the darksaber's hilt is crafted from refined beskar forged by Tarre Visla. It has been around for thousands of years, and the hilt itself can block a lightsaber. 60 year old man with a power suit crushes it with one hand.
beat me to it, but I will say the same thing so more people know it. Also, this is only mentioned in the BoBF. If people did not watched that, there is no way for them to know that the DS is way more resistant than a regular LS.
Well you see, her hand is made of PURE Femkar, every bone and string of flesh. A material so strong and malleable that only a mysterious force known as Plott may destroy it. Nothing else may harm it. The Dark Saber never stood a chance.
That weapon has such a big history in Star Wars lore, and is important. To throw it away would be like Luke throwing away the lightsabre from his dad. Oh wait...
You know it is political too. Because Star Wars is all about merchandise and toys, and you know they can sell some darksaber toys, especially of Grogu holds it at some point. KK just hates anything that isn't hers.
They treat it like a plot device in this season just to throw it away. It has represented the connection between the old republic, clone wars and the empire era, but who cares as long as it looks cool.
It only mattered because Dave Filoni said so in the Clone Wars. The actual weapon is an affront to real Mandalorians, who were ancient enemies of the Jedi and Republic, not friends.
I’m surprised no one’s mentioning that a jet pack has enough fuel and speed to exit the atmosphere and fly into a spaceship, but not enough to catch a lizard bird.
Lol… that scene creates so many plot holes in the past and problems going forward. All they had to do is take 2 Gauntlets down to the surface. Armorer takes one and Axe flies out and takes the other
This is what they mean when they said they’re connecting it to the sequel trilogy: by the writers forgetting how time and space work. I mean, this season also had x-wing guy flying all the way to coruscant from the outer rim in a single seat fighter, go up to an office in some skyscraper to physically ask a random bureaucrat for reinforcements. That’s not how a galactic civilisation is supposed to work. Either you have an FTL system with limits (like star trek), or you have zero-cost instantaneous travel and comms, but new star wars has both depending on who’s writing it. Like a hyperdrive physically flies through real space where it can collide with ships (ie. Holdo maneuver) but some times it can instantly teleport and not interact with any other solid matter along the way. Some times they need fuel to jump a few lightyears, other times they don’t need any to be able to jump to the other side of the galaxy. All this can be forgiven for a three movie soft-sci-fi fantasy series, but not for a multi-media cinematic universe with consistent lore and canon
You only gotta go about 50 miles to make it to space. Star wars doesn't take orbital mechanics into account so going straight up is sufficient to reach orbit with star wars physics. If it was real physics he could make it but the light cruiser would smash into him at 20,000 miles per hour.
Favreau is clocking out because he saw first hand how Kathleen has a vindictive hissy fit ever since they hid the Luke cameo from her until it was too late for her to do anything to stop it. That moment was gold and they did it all in a couple days with like 5 people. Nobody knew except the need to know crew on site.
@@gtvrossa it’s a shame that you gotta pull a fast one on the producer just to do right by the fandom. It raised the show to new heights, and their reward was threats from the ol bat with an agenda. Nothing goes to screen without her review after that. So Fav killed off Vizla using her red guards from the ST to send us a message. This show is done. It’s now hers and she already has her strong wahmen lead for future seasons. The Force is Female. 🤮
It felt like a repeat of a sci fi show that aired 40 years ago - that you stumble upon on the Sci Fi channel at 3am.. you lift your head delirious to see if you’re dreaming what you’re seeing before going back to sleep.
Gideon equipped all his storm troopers with jet packs, but he didn't give any to the Praetorian Guards. He requested heavily armored elite melee warriors to fight against flying opponents. Their armor must be too heavy for them to jump or reach up to get the baby. Also, Mando shows up and shoots them with a gun.
The Mandalorian was such an interesting premise for a show that any semi-competent, non-agenda-driven team of creators could easily make... And Disney still managed to f*ck the whole thing in spectacular fashion. They did connect this show to the Sequel trilogy which is what Filoni has been saying for ages IIRC. And the Dark Saber getting broken is a great visual representation of my brain after hearing you guys talk about this finale.
I’d say the biggest mistake they ever made was Baby Yoda. When you make a character whose sole reason is merchandising, that’s when shows start to go wrong.
I had people tell me that Mando couldn't carry a show because he was one dimensional, so Grogu and Bo Katan were necessary. I was shocked lol Every good western has a rather one dimensional protagonist, it's still super interesting. I wanted space western and I got the Baby-Yoda-Boba-Fett-Bo-Katan-Fetch-Quest show
Her bringing a hammer to a firefight is like a Blacksmith getting drafted for D-Day - - and instead of picking up an M1 Garand - he just says, “Nah I’m already acquainted with this-” and is just carrying a hammer and chisel up the beach 💀
@@firstlast9846 while you are not wrong, to be fair look up Mad Jack Churchill. Dude fought through the whole war with a long bow and a sword including storming the beaches of Normandy.
@@Ronfost89 I'm not certain that he fought with them. Did he actually end up using them in combat? For instance, Japanese officers were often equipped with swords, but no one in their right mind would use one, unless perhaps in hand to hand combat. But how often did that happen? After firearms became really good (mid XIX century, I think) using anything else didn't make much sense, other than maybe in trench warfare.
I think the fun and enjoyable thing about The Mandalorian is we just wanted a show about a badass mandalorian bounty hunter traveling the galaxy. We liked it as a simple fun and long awaited addition since we first fell in love with the mandalorians through Boba and Jango.
Well said but as usual Disney couldn’t even do a simple plot right!? Everytime we saw din do some bounty hunter work was always cool but those are the rarest moments
It's because Disney has the patience of a flood and the instant something gets any kind of fan support they need to process and exploit the shit out of it ending its appeal almost immediately. It's compulsive
That’s exactly what I thought it would be. A gritty bounty hunter saga. But instead we got kiddie show with him walking around holding Grogu like a baby!
Yeah it feels like we had half of season one just following a badass bounty hunter and then he got wrapped up in larger stories. Honestly though am I the only one who thinks the point they've left Din Djarin at feels kind of like the starting point for a Mandodorian based video game? You have your home "hub", contracts for bounty hunting, a sidekick that can help you and a "main quest" with mandalore.
There’s literally no tension.. I was watching Tyrone Magnus’s review of the show - and couldn’t understand how he actually felt a sense of danger in the finale.. they’re not gonna kill a kid that’s a cash cow and main attraction to their show.
They reduced the lead character to a single dad with a parttime job living in a small house on a remote planet while the girls run the show. Peak Star Wars! o_O
Why? it's a perfect set up for him, He's away from the other Mando's who will be attracting Imperial attention, He can back up his friends in that lil backwater, his son can grow up in relative isolation free from watchful eyes, surrounded by people who would protect him. He gets a part time gig, picking and choosing which one he wants to take, which are challenging enough for Grogu but not to dangerous that it could get him killed.
It's sad because the Mandalorian could've had such a simple straightforward story arc. First season is finding Grogu and protecting him. Second season is getting Grogu to Luke & the Jedi and introducing the larger universal conflict of the New Republic vs the remnants of the Empire along with the Mandalorians. Final season could've been The Mando uniting Mandalore and how they deal with the conflict between the two factions.
That’s really what I imagined the third season would be! Mando uniting the Mandalorians in a reluctant leadership role. But, nope. Just bad writing. At least fans can go to other sources to learn about Mandalorians. Even if some are no longer cannon.
Yeah, if he had travelled around with the Darksaber, finding various Mando groups and clans and bring them together to retake Mandalore, it could have been really cool. It should have been Din taking the reluctant leadership role and probably have Bo Katan be a minor antagonist for a while, until she finally lets go of her ambition and accepts him in the position.
@@EliWintercross This sounds so much bett er. Mando goes back to redeem himself, does it with a heavy struggle but as he is returning he is captured by some empire type people, maybe Gideon himself, and even through torture doesn't reveal anything, has his redemption taken from him after barely managing to get it back but his travel log from the ship tips them off that Mandalore. Escapes or is left for dead, could even have his armor stripped off him. He goes back to his fellows, even worse off than before, to explain what he knows. He's cast out and threatened with death but gives the water as proof before he leaves. He spends some time lost, unsure of how to even live now. Could maybe go to Bill Burr's character for help and he offers to go with him or convinces him to take back his former home. Hell they could even end the show with him still being exiled, showing the viewers how screwed up the way can be. It could legit end on a hard cut of him being told he can never be redeemed and him stoically saying "This is the way". to the credits of the show.
You guys are forgetting the tantalizing plot of the x-wing pilot who starts doing detective work, probing & is suspicious. Finding fragments of beskar armor on the prisoner transport ship & its looking like the new republic is going to blame Mandalorians for freeing Mof Gideon, but then that's forgotten & that pilot is in the same bar at the of the finale just drinking.
The beskar was from the imperial remnants wearing beskar armour, as proudly declared by Gideon, which resolved the mystery of the fragments at the scene.
@@yorkletronik yes I know where it came from but that whole subplot of the pilot investigation was lazily handled. They set up this drama where the new republic might confront the Mandalorians for possibly freeing mof gideon but they just never came back that.
Stop! 🤣 Don't give those "writers" any ideas! It's all just sad though, Daisy Ridley does a faultless job of portraying Rey. But Rey's a shit character
That can still work… aka The Last of Us… but he’s become like the sidekick to Bo Katan while having less authority than half the other Mandos. On top of that, helmets don’t matter, darksaber gone, Mythosaur still asleep, Empire’s back and everyone knows it but the new Republic does nothing cuz budget constraints… all while destroying usable warships… WTF?
Yep, I go back to review the first few chapters, it's what I do to console myself over the slow 'death by script constipation' of Mando. I think Favreau quiet quit and the KK interns filled in. Mando is in danger of staining his own legacy.
Agreed. I liked the first season. If the rest was like that with Mando traveling the universe and having adventures, that would be fun. But then KK got her Woke tentacles into it, fired Gina Carano for having a legitimate, but unapproved, opinion. I could not watch any more knowing that KK has ruined the IP for me. Cara Dune is a literal "strong female character" but not the ""correct"" "strong female character" being pushed by The Message.
"Meaningless stuff projected onto your eyes" is how I feel about most shows nowadays. I've started getting back into reading books where I can enjoy my imagination and interpretation rather than the garbage Hollywood wants to drown us in. I still like to know what's going on though so thank you Critical Drinker and Friends for your excellent reviews.
Jetpacks cannot fly into space from ground level, established in canon and previous episodes ( fuel/power limitations being one of them ) The darksaber was a one of a kind special weapon, Din himself reacted to how pure the beskar quality was, impossible to break I don't care how powerful Gideons suit was We clearly saw Din and Grogu get separated and that was the thing we were all fearing for, then Grogu randomly pops up right next to him just "because", suddenly R5 was there on the surface aswell The clones in the vats meant nothing and changed nothing in the end, we've been building that up since season 1 They FINALLY repair IG 11 and get him back, they show nothing of his repairs or his reunitement with Grogu or Din whatsoever Huge disappointment and weak episode, weak season all around As always with disney star wars, they build up things for no reason and they keep changing or breaking already established lore
What? You see Mandos flying in SPACE with their jetpacks in the games and books. For way longer then just a messly few miles (it doesn't take very long in term of miles to get to the upper atmosphere). Btw, at 60 miles per hour, you would reach space in about an hour. Not really unrealistic seeing as they chased a bird for more then an hour.
The fleet was not in space it was in atmosphere above the cloud cover. Wookiepedia says the jetpacks have about a 2km range, so that would be a thin atmosphere but maybe it is. R5 clearly rolled out onto the surface with the scouting team in episode 7.
@@yorkletronik 2km? That ain't even 2 miles, that's 1.2 miles. Also the wookie says 1-5km, and the Z-6 (Boba and Jango Fetts designs) says 70 meters (very short, like 1/4 of a mile). That would mean even in the prequels and the clone wars, George got it wrong with Jango Fett and the other mandos too.
@@AllyMonsters I think I agree with you. We know they do have a limit (at least the ones the covert uses, I don't know about Axe's) since they couldn't chase the pterodactyl thing all the way to its lair but I think we saw them generally flying around enough that reaching the upper atmosphere from the ground would be plausible.
I'm 39 years old, I remember growing up loving Disney movies and shows. They could do no wrong by me. I feel sad to be at the point where I expect to be disappointed by everything they put out.
I'm 49. I saw Star Wars in it's opening week in 1977. It is one of my earliest childhood events I vividly remember. Disney Star Wars destroyed that child.
The BABY FIGHT was definitely a disappointment. I thought the ONE benefit to all the characters wearing helmets would be that they could EXCLUSIVELY use STUNT-MEN for the fight scenes, without having to worry about inserting ANY footage of actors fighting. So AT LEAST we shouldn't have gotten stuff like in Last Jedi when you could see the STUNT-MEN WAITING for Daisy or Adam Driver to attack them because they couldn't get the choreography quite right.
When Din first got his jetpack they acted like it was a big deal and not all Mandos choose to train to use the jetpacks. But now every single Mando and beskar trooper has one.
The whole thing feels like the writers sat down, started to write the plot, whenever an obstacle came they made up something, regardless it's established or makes any sense, and sometimes they reminded each other about the certain elements they needed to include because their managers said so. There was no second draft or any later stages.
Once you realize that these corporations all hire from ultra progressive liberal arts schools that are almost 100% nepotism and affirmative action enrollees you'll start to understand why all the fantasy/scifi ip are going this direction. Not only are they not smart enough to understand source or Canon material, they aren't even smart enough to be capable of empathy. They can't understand why YOU would care.
Just watched the baby Yoda fight scene. Honestly cracked me up. It's so bad it's funny. It's Leia's chase scene all over again - you honestly can't make this shit up.
@@CoercedJab Too bad space leia hadn't unlocked the forcefield feat Grogu has been using since S1... Maybe then survive in the vacuum of space would've made more sense...
My fiancé during the episode was like “why did the Mandos on the planet take them to the plants/farm area’s underground when they were just gonna leave immediately? Me: “exposition”
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that same question!!! I was like tf he bring them to the farm for? Then he just exposition dumps and is like ok we're leaving lmao
My issue was how could Axe Wove's jet pack hold enough fuel to fly up all the way through the atmosphere, attaining atmospheric escape velocity? When just a few episodes earlier all of the Mandalorians ran out of fuel after a short distance trying to follow the creature that had kidnapped Paz Visla's son.
All they needed was to take two gauntlets down to the surface. Armorer takes one and Axe flies out to the other one and takes that to the fleet. I’m hardly a Mensa candidate and it took me all of 5 seconds to fix that plot hole🤨
Why couldn’t they catch the giant bird? Why does Boba even need Slave I? Why didn’t they all fly out back to the ship? Now that scene will be a problem going forward until someone decides that Axe had a super secret proprietary beskar infused fuel mixed with the magic bullshit herb and vibranium to explain it
Mandolorian could have been good. With perhaps bounty hunters using droids, however Dinn refuses due to his Robophobia. Until he finally he obtains Baby Yeed as a companion, and with his force powers, they become a unified combat duo, not just a baby as a liability. This would further the Lone Wolf/Cub dynamic since eventually, in that story, the boy does learn how to use a sword. The goddamn thing can't even speak yet.
Exactly, the damn baby is useless half the time, force powers only work when the plot demands it. And instead of making the baby grow like groot, they keep it a baby for merchandise only
As someone who fell in love with this show the moment in the pilot when he walked into the bar, took out everyone and then said “I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold…” this season is a really big disappointment to me. And yeah I know the show has always had its flaws but so does every show. The strengths always outweighed the flaws at least until this season which is directionless, jumbled and messy.
@@MomoAfterDark Because Disney did a few token gestures(early the Mandalorian) saying it can change, but then right back to the same crap at the first opportunity
Katee Sackof, Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen, heck, I'd even throw Diego Luna - the Star Wars franchis is filled with talented, likeable actors who take their craft seriously. And Lucasfilm has no idea what to do with them.
My top 3 questions for the finale are: -Why did ALL THREE Praetorian Guards chase after an unarmed baby mech? -Jet Packs can get Mandalorians into orbit now? -Din Djarin's name doesn't conform to any other Mandalorian. I know it COULD be because he was born on another planet, but an explanation would be nice since he's the first Star Wars character to have surname first.
...that also overwrote and retconed better pre-existing EU clone wars stories. Dark Horse's Quinlan Vos was a billion times better than Filoni's ridiculous version of him.
This season, Filoni appears to have been given more control....and it stinks, to be honest. More fan service, more Filoni style fan fiction/character inserts, more Saturday morning cartoon villains and plot points.
@Anoneemus Noename a lot of TCW episodes were separate one off stories, essentially filler in the overall picture. Really that's fine in a cartoon or a tv series with 20+ episodes a season , but not when you only have 6-8 30 minute episodes.
I was expecting some hero arc for Din and the dark saber. Especially as he struggled to use it early on. I thought the whole season was gonna be this journey of self discovery or adventure or learning who he is and thus learning to wield the dark saber when he completes his hero arc or something. Instead we got one big clown fiesta
Grogu running around while they tried to kill him had me in hysterics. I'm not lying I replayed that scene about 4 times! I didn't mind the last 2 episodes but overall season 3 was crap. I loved the first two seasons but 3 was all over the place. It wouldn't bother me if they ended it now.
This finale was a joke! Every moment felt so unearned and forced for the sake of spectacle. They had 8 episodes to flesh everything out and build to this moment but instead the season was mainly filler and distractions then expected your full investment in the finale. I wasn't going to but after a certain moment in episode 7, I HAD to put a video out for my own therapy to discuss every question this show raised through errors, contrivances and plot holes. Whilst this video sums up everything perfectly, if you still need a Mando fix, check it out. Great video as always, was looking forward to see your disappointment (I mean that nicely)...
There's another channel where this female Star Wars fan watches these episodes. I'm betting she *LOVED* this episode. Why wouldn't she? I'm sure she gets all sorts of goodies from Disney. 😂😂😂
Ugh, this season felt so underwhelming, I can't even describe it properly, but I'll try. One of my biggest bones of contention is that they showed the Mandalorians to be absolutely incompetent fighters throughout the whole season (half of the show in general), they got jumped on by flying dinosaurs (according to them numerous times), they settle in front of giant crocodiles, they get cornered by a bunch of pirates, but for whatever reason they took not a single casualty against a legion of storm troopers that have the same equipment as they have. To add to that, the armor was super inconsistent, from tanking dozens of blaster bolts to being one shotted, then using shields despite having Beskar armor (Din and the Troopers). And what was with the Praetorian Guards? They literally dismembered Paz Viszla, but couldn't do the same with Mando? Who took up less of a fight? The Darksaber being given to Bo-Katan (which btw is an extremist, war criminal and former terrorist but for whatever reason Rebels and Mando try to make her a good person???) just so it can be destroyed??? Also them firing up forges that have been dormant and partially destroyed for decades. This show is so full of plot holes lol. The first half of the first season was the only enjoyable piece of the Mandalorian, as soon as he kept the baby everything went south. I feel sorry for Giancarlo Esposito and his character (Which was pretty cool) that they had to be wasted in such a show. I really love Star Wars, I loved the Prequels, Clone Wars and the OT. But wow since Disney took over nothing went right with the franchise, Rogue One was okay, but that's it. Visions was cool, but isn't even considered Canon. I really miss some of the old EU stories and characters and I'm scared everytime they announce to adopt EU characters into Disney canon, Thrawn went from military genius to cartoon villain. At this point I'm at a stage where I just want them to leave Star Wars alone, they've done enough damage. But they won't, because it brings in the merchandise sales... I won't even ask why Mandalorians can suddenly fly into orbit with their jet pack. Or why the old republic cinematic trailers look much better than anything Disney has ever made.
I also forgot, that according to Clone Wars, the rightful owner of the Dark saber was Palpatine, as he defeated Maul. Filoni forgets his own stories lmao
@@DefinitelyNotEmma I found it weird that the show really didn't want to talk about how both groups of mandalorians were considered fringe weirdos by the rest of their society. Or that the majority of their were pacifists for centuries.
Everything you said is true. I just became a Star Wars fan and to me everything that was made before Disney is much more better and entertaining such as the EU and the game cinematics. And yet Disney can’t even make a simple show work!
Lol I've had a pretty minor hand injury before. Bo is never ever recovering from the damage her hand bones took in that scene 😂 Edit: I hope she gets a Skywalker style robot hand
Katee Sackhoff has been an athletic health nut pretty much forever, so I don't think she had to do much of anything special to "get ready for the mandalorian" other than recovering from childbirth a few years ago.
I checked out when they fired Gina! I came back and was almost fooled when Luke returned, but in the back of my mind I knew Darth Kennedy was going to ruin everything!
Indeed she did. Their best show with a simple premise was too difficult for the morons at lucasfilm to handle. Imagine them trying to make more movies in this state. Horrifying
It's key to understand that Favreau is on his way out and Filoni is taking over. Mando and Grogu are Favreau creations but all the others are Filoni. In effect Mando is becoming an extension of Rebels/Clone Wars. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing IMO, but Filoni gets along with KK and will not resist her influence. Ahsoka trailer already establishes they are bringing in Hera and Sabine. Imagine KK's wet panties at thinking she will have later shows with Bo, Sabine, Ahsoka, and Hera as the main protagonists! Luke, Mando, even Grogu are on the way out I suspect.
@Anoneemus Noename 1-KK isn't gone yet, and most of what I mentioned is almost released or in pre-production now. Indy 5 comes out June 30th. Months to tinker for her. 2-Even if KK gets fired (a different discussion) she still has hordes of minions scattered about, including (IMO) Filoni who agree with her agenda. Besides, Eiger is no better. 3-Pointing out it's speculation is kinda silly. EVERYTHING is speculation till it actually happens. If we can't speculate all we can do is passively "consume product" when they serve it to us. If you object to speculation....I suggest CZcams videos will be a frustrating medium for you.
To be fair to the Armourer, she had the only weapon that could work; blunt force trauma. Remember that everyone has laserproof armour at this point, and it’s actually kind of funny that everyone is blasting each other even though there’s a 90% chance you’re not gonna damage anything. Hitting someone with a heavy hammer in this scenario would actually take out a laserproof commando faster than shooting lasers at him.
Excellent point. That's why Judo was developed I believe. The only way to take the wind out of an armored samurai opponent was to lay them on their back real hard. Excellent point.
@@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky season 3 wasn't perfect but it definitely wasn't the worst thing the way people are overreacting. A lot of star wars fan si know actually dug this season a lot and I think it's laying the groundwork for some big stuff... Dave Filoni's Ahsoka show I'm actually very excited for
@@hez859 Yea it's always relative. Fans complained about the prequels but obviously they're a lot better than the sequel trilogy. Honestly, the only people I see who disliked this season are people on the internet lol. Everyone I know, including me, enjoyed it. Is it top cinema? No. Is it fun to watch once a week on a Friday? Absolutely. Yea, I was even wondering if we'd see Ahsoka this season but I guess not.
My dad and I have been watching this and the other Star Wars series together. It's one of the few things we're really able to do together, because my interests and his interests don't overlap too much. It's been really fun to watch and speculate on what happens next with him, and it softens the blow of some of the rougher stuff. But by god, am I constantly cringing in the back of my mind while watching and talking about it.
These Exoskeletons exist for quite some time now. If I remember correctly, Hyundai Heavy Industries (the shipbuilder) had them for years now. There are Powergloves and other things too. 🙂
@@Apoc_Bone_Daddy You can search for things like 'Neomano', 'Bioservo' or more general 'assistive robotic glove'. Many projects are in-house only and not generally available.
I kind of want to know what Gideon's plan was when he said he'd "deal with the Mandalorian" before they flushed his clones. He sort of just... locks them in his control room briefly, and then just yells at them for flushing his clones? And then proceeds to punch Mando around, only pulling his funny purple stick out when Bo and the Dark Saber™ show up. Kind of interesting he doesn't have any kind of anti-beskar weaponry or has any kind of trap or actual plan to quickly dispose of/incapacitate the Mandalorians/Mando/Bo. Don't even get me started on his single type of soldier he has (why aren't there more soldier types in his very large base?, all of them just flying up to have a lame jet pack fight with the Mandalorians. Just feels... no effort overall, like no thought or consideration was put into anything. Just a bunch of action figures being thrown at each other until the bad action figure is swallowed up by fire and literally disappears.
I actually felt bad for Jack Black’s planet when their entire peacekeeping force that was living in a paradise just left because the plot had to happen.
For those who might not know, during the Book of Boba Fett, it was stated that the Darksaber is made of Beskar. But not any Beskar, but a better and unique quality of it. Refined beskar, to be precise. I can not believe that an exo suit could crush a handle made of that material. It is not indestructible, but it would need something bigger than an exo to break it.
@@AllyMonsters So what? It might be as strong and durable as beskar, but do you think a merely exo suit could crush it? An exo suit can generate enough strenght to crush it? The material that can withstand blaster, explosions, lightsabers...but an exo esqueleton can crush it? Yeah...I don't buy it. Besides, the DS is made of refined beskar, making it stronger and more rare than regular beskar.
@@cashews4you Yeah, her hand was crushed. I agree that they should have given her a robot hand afterwords or shown her in a kolto/bacta tank getting healed. But she was clearly injured from the crush.
@@fenrir_Lokison9 A hydraulic press crushes stuff harder then the steel the press is made of all the time. The problem being that the dark saber is hallow, while the beskar armor is not. It's basic physics.
When discussing a school field trip is more fun, exciting, inspiring and just plain cooler than the 'premier' science fantasy series in entertainment!!
Can I just say screw the season. I wasted a whole episode seing how great Bo Katan was because no mando jet pack had enough fuel to save the youngling from the dinosaur in one episode to a few episodes later One guy flies out into deep space with one jet pack, After it's been used twice already. There is a segment of dozens of mandals flying around fighting Air to air combat with those storm troopers. Like what the hell is it then?! it's Lazy af writing.
The one thing I hate about Katee is. She said Kathleen Kennedy the woman responsible for the destruction of Star Wars and soon to be Indiana Jones is a genius.
The higher they advance the story in the grand hierarchy of the galaxy the less I've found myself caring about the show, which is the opposite of how I thought I would feel. We go from Mando by himself doing bounties, to acquiring Grogu and angering a small contingent of Imperials, to involving the New Republic, to involving ex-Jedi, to angering the entirety of the Imperial Remnant. Bit of a shot in the dark on that last one but since it'll definitely be known to the powers that be (Hux, Pellaeon, Thrawn, etc) that Mando and Bo-Katan were responsible for the death of Gideon, there's no chance they take it lying down. Which all now leads us to the Ahsoka series. I hope it's good and stays more focused than Mando, cause good lord it'd be hard to be more scatterbrained than season 3 was.
Remember when this show was first announced and we thought it'd be about a bounty hunter taking on contracts and going through the underworld of Star Wars? Yeah... we never actually got that.
@@Kyle-sr6jm He needs a redesign to give him legs and feet. His species might take a long time to learn to talk. Maybe they communicate telepathically primarily? That would explain Yoda's strange dialect.
This is why I never watched this show. The writing was on the wall that it would become a Kathleen Kennedy project. I want them to keep failing until the mouse goes bankrupt.
That puppet reference/parallel at ~12:40 was deliciously apt, Will 😄. RIGHT before you drew that parallel / made that joke, I was already thinking to myself, "CHRIST, they were increasingly dredging up old characters from actually successful stories instead of making new ones, and that was already terrible, but........now they're even dredging up their old characters from only a year or two prior, from relatively unimportant (in the zeitgeist) and middling shows??....I honestly didn't think they could fall any lower.........." So when you made that parallel........it's just captures that sentiment so perfectly. I recall in 3rd grade having a little play set for puppet theatre, and I remember there only being, somewhat disappointingly, like 4 or 5 little puppet characters to make up little stories with. So when you said that, right as I was thinking about how much INSANELY tighter the circle for recycling has become, even if it involves recycling things that were trash the first time........appena un esempio perfetto, il mio amico! (repp'in my Italian heritage and as I teach myself Italian I find it more and more beautiful sounding.......omg, lmfao, just went to put a little Italian flag emote and............CZcams DOES have 1-2 flags for gay pride...........but zero flags for any nation, lmfao -I guess people are only ALLOWED to be proud of certain things these days lol😄
Remember when they made a big deal about the limits of the jet packs when the kid gets snatched by the dragon…but they have enough juice to break atmosphere and reach orbit?
another hilarious blooper in the guards scene is that Din grabs one of their weapons with his bare hand and it pulls the guy down. Apparently they're more powerful than lightsabers but also okay to handle.
1:27 I will say this: CLONING A FORCE USER WAS STUPID WHEN THE FORCE UNLEASHED 2 DID IT. And they at least had talent back then. Also I’d have watched this season if they were chasing Baby Yoda with giant fly swatters trying to squish him.
And in tfu2 most of the strakiller clones went mad cuz of them getting flashbacks of his memories but doing something like this in mando would need a competent writing team.
Bo-Katan is an awesome character... just not in the Mandalorian... her relationship with her sister in the Clone Wars was very interesting. A sister who was the queen of Mandalore and Obi-Wan's love and was never mentioned in the show btw xD
Her sister is dead, so exploring that relationship is a dead end. So is Obi-Wan as far as she knows. She ruled Mandalore once and it was destroyed, she wanted it back, but lost the chance to re-take it. Does she really want to kill Din for the chance to rule again? Does she want to rule again? As we shown, she had to be pushed into taking the leadership.
I can only guess IG-11 (which for those who actually were watching and listening carefully to the previous episode, actually became IG-12!!) had its 'redemption arc' because it was voiced by Waititty, Disney's favoured son, so might go on to hold a more prominent role in the next and final (!?) season of this show? Remember, all roads point towards a imminent movie, which has been confirmed to finalise all these stories (Ahsohka, Boba Fett and Mando.) … only then will the 'circle be complete'.
My biggest problem is the lack of a single believable character or place or world rule or mechanic. The total absence of consistency in every domain except goofyness. As Drinker said it feels like the same 3 puppets shuffled around to create "content" as efficiently as possible by someone with no imagination or respect for the material. And the whole thing STINKS of Disney's stench from start to finish, it's unbearable. Lucky you if you can't smell it.
I think Star Wars has so many generations of fans that we all see it differently. I started by seeing the original as a young lad back in 1977, when Han shot first. I enjoyed all 4 seasons of Mando (wished we had a real Boba Fett show, but that's another discussion). He is a side character that took us on adventures throughout the galaxy. It was meant to be a TV show to go along with the movies. Only the movies died a horrible death. So then it became the headliner it was not meant to be. I think it hits a lot of the classic Star Wars themes that George had in the original series (including merchandising). But seriously I enjoyed it for what it was. A focused story on one person's journey that was not the center of the universe. And I enjoyed the end scene as a nod to old Ben.
Someone without being at least force sensitive can add the force to the clones he's creating. Kind of like The infinity stones being paperweights. The Sith are antiheroes, and we can deconstruct and humiliate any male hero who will bend the knee to the Uber Girl Boss, and The Dark Saber really doesn't matter. I thought the finale was better than the rest of the episodes of season 3 put together, but that's not saying much and Gary is right. Disney has ruined two franchises so thoroughly, there's no coming back. I think "Ahsoka" will be the last Star Wars movie or TV show I'll watch. Depending on how much Uber Girl Power and how many men bend the knee in that series will determine if I watch the entire series or not. Everything Disney does is ultra cringe anymore. Don't be surprised if Finn is going to be in the next Rey Star Wars film Episode X and they get married and she has his kid. Who cares what these talentless corporate hacks do with Star Wars from this point on. If you're a true hardcore Star Wars Fan, you'll stop watching this garbage. "Ashoka" will be it for me. I don't know why I'm going to watch that series. but I guess I'm curious about how they present Ahsoka in that series. However, I guarantee I won't watch "Ashoka" Season 2. As for all the terrible and awful projects KK announced at the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, I'm checking out. 46 years as a Star Wars Fan has ended. Actually, it was good from 1977 to about 2013. So about 36 years total.
KK needs to either retire or kick the fucking bucket, cause we do not need a twitter witch taking the helm, and especially one that treats the prequels as something that doesn't exist, or literally not contacting George for advice before making the sequels
Was 3 when ANH came out but as I became older as a kid and was allowed to watch it became a magical film in my heart.. it all ended with ROTS. Had a nice run.. I can’t complain.. my memories are intact and that’s what matters. Good luck to those brave enough to continue their journey into that galaxy we knew.
@@anoneemusnoename4192 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, you can't tell me what to watch and what not to watch. What to do or what not to do. You shouldn't advocate Pirating any show on a public forum like CZcams. Enough said. I won't debate this issue with you,
Interesting note of trivia, that was mentioned in the show itself : the darksaber's hilt is crafted from refined beskar forged by Tarre Visla. It has been around for thousands of years, and the hilt itself can block a lightsaber. 60 year old man with a power suit crushes it with one hand.
This hurts
Crushes it, and somehow Bo Katan's hand doesn't get crushed at all in the process. She is *such* a strong wahmen.
beat me to it, but I will say the same thing so more people know it. Also, this is only mentioned in the BoBF. If people did not watched that, there is no way for them to know that the DS is way more resistant than a regular LS.
Well you see, her hand is made of PURE Femkar, every bone and string of flesh. A material so strong and malleable that only a mysterious force known as Plott may destroy it. Nothing else may harm it. The Dark Saber never stood a chance.
@@LemonCreature Femkar??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE THAT WORD!!!
I am going to use it from now on to make fun of things like that.
Thanks, you made my day.
I'm honestly enraged that they destroyed the darksaber. That saber is literally the oldest weapon that actually mattered in the franchise.
That weapon has such a big history in Star Wars lore, and is important.
To throw it away would be like Luke throwing away the lightsabre from his dad.
Oh wait...
You know it is political too. Because Star Wars is all about merchandise and toys, and you know they can sell some darksaber toys, especially of Grogu holds it at some point. KK just hates anything that isn't hers.
They treat it like a plot device in this season just to throw it away. It has represented the connection between the old republic, clone wars and the empire era, but who cares as long as it looks cool.
The short answer is they didn't know.
It only mattered because Dave Filoni said so in the Clone Wars. The actual weapon is an affront to real Mandalorians, who were ancient enemies of the Jedi and Republic, not friends.
I’m surprised no one’s mentioning that a jet pack has enough fuel and speed to exit the atmosphere and fly into a spaceship, but not enough to catch a lizard bird.
Lol… that scene creates so many plot holes in the past and problems going forward.
All they had to do is take 2 Gauntlets down to the surface. Armorer takes one and Axe flies out and takes the other
I was thinking of that too. Lol.
Don't worry, I thought that too🙄
This is what they mean when they said they’re connecting it to the sequel trilogy: by the writers forgetting how time and space work. I mean, this season also had x-wing guy flying all the way to coruscant from the outer rim in a single seat fighter, go up to an office in some skyscraper to physically ask a random bureaucrat for reinforcements. That’s not how a galactic civilisation is supposed to work. Either you have an FTL system with limits (like star trek), or you have zero-cost instantaneous travel and comms, but new star wars has both depending on who’s writing it. Like a hyperdrive physically flies through real space where it can collide with ships (ie. Holdo maneuver) but some times it can instantly teleport and not interact with any other solid matter along the way. Some times they need fuel to jump a few lightyears, other times they don’t need any to be able to jump to the other side of the galaxy. All this can be forgiven for a three movie soft-sci-fi fantasy series, but not for a multi-media cinematic universe with consistent lore and canon
You only gotta go about 50 miles to make it to space. Star wars doesn't take orbital mechanics into account so going straight up is sufficient to reach orbit with star wars physics. If it was real physics he could make it but the light cruiser would smash into him at 20,000 miles per hour.
Favreau is clocking out because he saw first hand how Kathleen has a vindictive hissy fit ever since they hid the Luke cameo from her until it was too late for her to do anything to stop it. That moment was gold and they did it all in a couple days with like 5 people. Nobody knew except the need to know crew on site.
The best thing they have filmed since Vader's corridor scene in Rogue one!
@@gtvrossa it’s a shame that you gotta pull a fast one on the producer just to do right by the fandom. It raised the show to new heights, and their reward was threats from the ol bat with an agenda. Nothing goes to screen without her review after that. So Fav killed off Vizla using her red guards from the ST to send us a message. This show is done. It’s now hers and she already has her strong wahmen lead for future seasons. The Force is Female. 🤮

The Mandalorian season 3 felt like another shows season 7
It felt like a repeat of a sci fi show that aired 40 years ago - that you stumble upon on the Sci Fi channel at 3am.. you lift your head delirious to see if you’re dreaming what you’re seeing before going back to sleep.
The flash
CW writers need to take notes
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Mando season 3 was like a dave feloni cartoon story structure - it had no setups and payoffs, unlike andor which did this perfectly
It could have been worse.
They could have had Grogu’s first words be “this is the way.”
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
@@user-vi8rn8jv3k is that your new band name bc it’s pretty awesome
"Communism...good...now let's get Crunk!" (Grogu puts on sunglasses and Katy perry starts playing)
"The way, this is"
The sea is always right
Bart: This was the worst episode of The Mandalorian.
Homer: The worst episode of The Mandalorian so far.
The only thing missing from the scene where the guards were chasing the baby, was the Benny Hill theme
I was banging my head on the wall....
I'm waiting for the baby Grogu inside IG-11 action figure to be out by Christmas.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Gideon equipped all his storm troopers with jet packs, but he didn't give any to the Praetorian Guards. He requested heavily armored elite melee warriors to fight against flying opponents. Their armor must be too heavy for them to jump or reach up to get the baby. Also, Mando shows up and shoots them with a gun.
Yakety Sax
The Mandalorian was such an interesting premise for a show that any semi-competent, non-agenda-driven team of creators could easily make... And Disney still managed to f*ck the whole thing in spectacular fashion.
They did connect this show to the Sequel trilogy which is what Filoni has been saying for ages IIRC. And the Dark Saber getting broken is a great visual representation of my brain after hearing you guys talk about this finale.
👍👍👍. Just depressing
I’d say the biggest mistake they ever made was Baby Yoda.
When you make a character whose sole reason is merchandising, that’s when shows start to go wrong.
I had people tell me that Mando couldn't carry a show because he was one dimensional, so Grogu and Bo Katan were necessary.
I was shocked lol
Every good western has a rather one dimensional protagonist, it's still super interesting.
I wanted space western and I got the Baby-Yoda-Boba-Fett-Bo-Katan-Fetch-Quest show
@@NathanCassidy721 He should have been a 2 episode thing
Its because it won traction with the fan base, so now that it's popular probably every executive had to push their ideas into the show
Forge Lady: Beskar is meant for defense only, never for weapons.
Also Forge Lady: HAMMER TIME.
Her bringing a hammer to a firefight is like a Blacksmith getting drafted for D-Day - - and instead of picking up an M1 Garand - he just says,
“Nah I’m already acquainted with this-” and is just carrying a hammer and chisel up the beach 💀
@@firstlast9846 while you are not wrong, to be fair look up Mad Jack Churchill. Dude fought through the whole war with a long bow and a sword including storming the beaches of Normandy.
My husband & I call the Forge Lady the Grandalorian lol
Ron Foster - I heard about this 💀 doesn’t detract from how stupid it was in the show tho
@@Ronfost89 I'm not certain that he fought with them. Did he actually end up using them in combat? For instance, Japanese officers were often equipped with swords, but no one in their right mind would use one, unless perhaps in hand to hand combat. But how often did that happen? After firearms became really good (mid XIX century, I think) using anything else didn't make much sense, other than maybe in trench warfare.
I think the fun and enjoyable thing about The Mandalorian is we just wanted a show about a badass mandalorian bounty hunter traveling the galaxy. We liked it as a simple fun and long awaited addition since we first fell in love with the mandalorians through Boba and Jango.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Well said but as usual Disney couldn’t even do a simple plot right!? Everytime we saw din do some bounty hunter work was always cool but those are the rarest moments
It's because Disney has the patience of a flood and the instant something gets any kind of fan support they need to process and exploit the shit out of it ending its appeal almost immediately. It's compulsive
That’s exactly what I thought it would be. A gritty bounty hunter saga. But instead we got kiddie show with him walking around holding Grogu like a baby!
Yeah it feels like we had half of season one just following a badass bounty hunter and then he got wrapped up in larger stories.
Honestly though am I the only one who thinks the point they've left Din Djarin at feels kind of like the starting point for a Mandodorian based video game? You have your home "hub", contracts for bounty hunting, a sidekick that can help you and a "main quest" with mandalore.
Grogu was given a beskar plate on top of his mithril shirt. Couldnt at least one praetorian guard hit grogu once just to have some pay off?
Oh my god you’re right. I completely forgot about that plate. Where were the pay offs!!!!
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
@@user-vi8rn8jv3k like grugo's "backflip", looked like robot chickens attempt
There’s literally no tension.. I was watching Tyrone Magnus’s review of the show - and couldn’t understand how he actually felt a sense of danger in the finale.. they’re not gonna kill a kid that’s a cash cow and main attraction to their show.
@@firstlast9846 deadass I was rolling my eyes the whole finale, there were no stakes.
They reduced the lead character to a single dad with a parttime job living in a small house on a remote planet while the girls run the show. Peak Star Wars! o_O
Mando collecting child support , he’s a queen yass
Fuckin exactly
Why? it's a perfect set up for him, He's away from the other Mando's who will be attracting Imperial attention, He can back up his friends in that lil backwater, his son can grow up in relative isolation free from watchful eyes, surrounded by people who would protect him. He gets a part time gig, picking and choosing which one he wants to take, which are challenging enough for Grogu but not to dangerous that it could get him killed.
It's sad because the Mandalorian could've had such a simple straightforward story arc.
First season is finding Grogu and protecting him. Second season is getting Grogu to Luke & the Jedi and introducing the larger universal conflict of the New Republic vs the remnants of the Empire along with the Mandalorians. Final season could've been The Mando uniting Mandalore and how they deal with the conflict between the two factions.
That’s really what I imagined the third season would be! Mando uniting the Mandalorians in a reluctant leadership role. But, nope. Just bad writing. At least fans can go to other sources to learn about Mandalorians. Even if some are no longer cannon.
Yeah, if he had travelled around with the Darksaber, finding various Mando groups and clans and bring them together to retake Mandalore, it could have been really cool.
It should have been Din taking the reluctant leadership role and probably have Bo Katan be a minor antagonist for a while, until she finally lets go of her ambition and accepts him in the position.
@@EliWintercross This sounds so much bett er. Mando goes back to redeem himself, does it with a heavy struggle but as he is returning he is captured by some empire type people, maybe Gideon himself, and even through torture doesn't reveal anything, has his redemption taken from him after barely managing to get it back but his travel log from the ship tips them off that Mandalore. Escapes or is left for dead, could even have his armor stripped off him. He goes back to his fellows, even worse off than before, to explain what he knows. He's cast out and threatened with death but gives the water as proof before he leaves. He spends some time lost, unsure of how to even live now. Could maybe go to Bill Burr's character for help and he offers to go with him or convinces him to take back his former home.
Hell they could even end the show with him still being exiled, showing the viewers how screwed up the way can be. It could legit end on a hard cut of him being told he can never be redeemed and him stoically saying "This is the way". to the credits of the show.
You guys are forgetting the tantalizing plot of the x-wing pilot who starts doing detective work, probing & is suspicious. Finding fragments of beskar armor on the prisoner transport ship & its looking like the new republic is going to blame Mandalorians for freeing Mof Gideon, but then that's forgotten & that pilot is in the same bar at the of the finale just drinking.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
The beskar was from the imperial remnants wearing beskar armour, as proudly declared by Gideon, which resolved the mystery of the fragments at the scene.
@@yorkletronik Yes, but how could the new republic pilot have had ANY clue until after?
@@yorkletronik yes I know where it came from but that whole subplot of the pilot investigation was lazily handled. They set up this drama where the new republic might confront the Mandalorians for possibly freeing mof gideon but they just never came back that.
@@giovannirodriguez894 They didn’t set that up. That was a fan theory.
First two minutes of S4 E1: Mando takes off his helmet and it's Rey.
“I am all the Mandalorians”
Stop! 🤣 Don't give those "writers" any ideas! It's all just sad though, Daisy Ridley does a faultless job of portraying Rey. But Rey's a shit character
The main character went from being a badass to being a babysitter.
and that was from season 1
That can still work… aka The Last of Us… but he’s become like the sidekick to Bo Katan while having less authority than half the other Mandos. On top of that, helmets don’t matter, darksaber gone, Mythosaur still asleep, Empire’s back and everyone knows it but the new Republic does nothing cuz budget constraints… all while destroying usable warships… WTF?
It will be remembered as a show with a pretty good first season
yep. And I liked the first episode from Season 2. That was great. The rest is a blur
Yep, I go back to review the first few chapters, it's what I do to console myself over the slow 'death by script constipation' of Mando. I think Favreau quiet quit and the KK interns filled in. Mando is in danger of staining his own legacy.
This genuinely feels like the whole writters room as well as the showrunners went on drugs in season 3.
Agreed. I liked the first season. If the rest was like that with Mando traveling the universe and having adventures, that would be fun. But then KK got her Woke tentacles into it, fired Gina Carano for having a legitimate, but unapproved, opinion. I could not watch any more knowing that KK has ruined the IP for me. Cara Dune is a literal "strong female character" but not the ""correct"" "strong female character" being pushed by The Message.
I really enjoyed the first season. And some of the second as well
"Meaningless stuff projected onto your eyes" is how I feel about most shows nowadays. I've started getting back into reading books where I can enjoy my imagination and interpretation rather than the garbage Hollywood wants to drown us in. I still like to know what's going on though so thank you Critical Drinker and Friends for your excellent reviews.
Jetpacks cannot fly into space from ground level, established in canon and previous episodes ( fuel/power limitations being one of them )
The darksaber was a one of a kind special weapon, Din himself reacted to how pure the beskar quality was, impossible to break I don't care how powerful Gideons suit was
We clearly saw Din and Grogu get separated and that was the thing we were all fearing for, then Grogu randomly pops up right next to him just "because", suddenly R5 was there on the surface aswell
The clones in the vats meant nothing and changed nothing in the end, we've been building that up since season 1
They FINALLY repair IG 11 and get him back, they show nothing of his repairs or his reunitement with Grogu or Din whatsoever
Huge disappointment and weak episode, weak season all around
As always with disney star wars, they build up things for no reason and they keep changing or breaking already established lore
What? You see Mandos flying in SPACE with their jetpacks in the games and books. For way longer then just a messly few miles (it doesn't take very long in term of miles to get to the upper atmosphere). Btw, at 60 miles per hour, you would reach space in about an hour. Not really unrealistic seeing as they chased a bird for more then an hour.
The fleet was not in space it was in atmosphere above the cloud cover. Wookiepedia says the jetpacks have about a 2km range, so that would be a thin atmosphere but maybe it is. R5 clearly rolled out onto the surface with the scouting team in episode 7.
@@yorkletronik 2km? That ain't even 2 miles, that's 1.2 miles. Also the wookie says 1-5km, and the Z-6 (Boba and Jango Fetts designs) says 70 meters (very short, like 1/4 of a mile). That would mean even in the prequels and the clone wars, George got it wrong with Jango Fett and the other mandos too.
And they can fly without the icing problem.😂😂😂😂 Tony Stark needs to contact them asap.
@@AllyMonsters I think I agree with you. We know they do have a limit (at least the ones the covert uses, I don't know about Axe's) since they couldn't chase the pterodactyl thing all the way to its lair but I think we saw them generally flying around enough that reaching the upper atmosphere from the ground would be plausible.
I'm 39 years old, I remember growing up loving Disney movies and shows. They could do no wrong by me. I feel sad to be at the point where I expect to be disappointed by everything they put out.
Lol that before Kk took over
The black hole from 79 is a personal favourite
I'm 49. I saw Star Wars in it's opening week in 1977. It is one of my earliest childhood events I vividly remember.
Disney Star Wars destroyed that child.
The BABY FIGHT was definitely a disappointment. I thought the ONE benefit to all the characters wearing helmets would be that they could EXCLUSIVELY use STUNT-MEN for the fight scenes, without having to worry about inserting ANY footage of actors fighting. So AT LEAST we shouldn't have gotten stuff like in Last Jedi when you could see the STUNT-MEN WAITING for Daisy or Adam Driver to attack them because they couldn't get the choreography quite right.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
When Din first got his jetpack they acted like it was a big deal and not all Mandos choose to train to use the jetpacks. But now every single Mando and beskar trooper has one.
You get a jetpack. You get a jetpack. Everyone gets a jetpack.

There was no second draft or any later stages.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*

This season felt like it was written by different people.
All with the same ideas.
My fiancé during the episode was like “why did the Mandos on the planet take them to the plants/farm area’s underground when they were just gonna leave immediately?
Me: “exposition”
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that same question!!! I was like tf he bring them to the farm for? Then he just exposition dumps and is like ok we're leaving lmao
My issue was how could Axe Wove's jet pack hold enough fuel to fly up all the way through the atmosphere, attaining atmospheric escape velocity?
When just a few episodes earlier all of the Mandalorians ran out of fuel after a short distance trying to follow the creature that had kidnapped Paz Visla's son.
All they needed was to take two gauntlets down to the surface. Armorer takes one and Axe flies out to the other one and takes that to the fleet.
I’m hardly a Mensa candidate and it took me all of 5 seconds to fix that plot hole🤨
Why couldn’t they catch the giant bird? Why does Boba even need Slave I? Why didn’t they all fly out back to the ship?
Now that scene will be a problem going forward until someone decides that Axe had a super secret proprietary beskar infused fuel mixed with the magic bullshit herb and vibranium to explain it
Mandolorian could have been good. With perhaps bounty hunters using droids, however Dinn refuses due to his Robophobia. Until he finally he obtains Baby Yeed as a companion, and with his force powers, they become a unified combat duo, not just a baby as a liability.
This would further the Lone Wolf/Cub dynamic since eventually, in that story, the boy does learn how to use a sword.
The goddamn thing can't even speak yet.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Exactly, the damn baby is useless half the time, force powers only work when the plot demands it. And instead of making the baby grow like groot, they keep it a baby for merchandise only
Just a cute, mute piece of merchandise, totally getting in the way of the natural story progression.
Little Green Money Baby, as Ryan over at Pitch Meeting refers to him.
They literally keep him a baby for the marketing and toys. He's a living breathing piece of merchandise.

THE MESSAGE!
Good one…
As someone who fell in love with this show the moment in the pilot when he walked into the bar, took out everyone and then said “I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold…” this season is a really big disappointment to me. And yeah I know the show has always had its flaws but so does every show. The strengths always outweighed the flaws at least until this season which is directionless, jumbled and messy.
We can literally throw out most of what's happened in season 3 and not miss it and that's a huge problem.
They really threw away the whole “space western” thing that everyone loved
What were the strengths other than impressive CGI and member berries?
Stop giving Disney Star Wars your money why are you still supporting them after Last Jedi
@@MomoAfterDark Because Disney did a few token gestures(early the Mandalorian) saying it can change, but then right back to the same crap at the first opportunity
Katee Sackof, Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen, heck, I'd even throw Diego Luna - the Star Wars franchis is filled with talented, likeable actors who take their craft seriously. And Lucasfilm has no idea what to do with them.
Diego Luna has incredible series so what are you talking about?
I felt like they could have shown us the final without the season before and we still would have understood almost everything.
My top 3 questions for the finale are:
-Why did ALL THREE Praetorian Guards chase after an unarmed baby mech?
-Jet Packs can get Mandalorians into orbit now?
-Din Djarin's name doesn't conform to any other Mandalorian. I know it COULD be because he was born on another planet, but an explanation would be nice since he's the first Star Wars character to have surname first.
"Stop asking questions, just consume"
Earlier episode they ran out of fuel... but in the last two episodes fuel suddenly doesnt matter.
They ended it with absolutely nothing that would make me want to tune in for season 4.
The issue with these last few episodes is they felt like a rushed conclusion to a massive season long set up plot that never happened
*I don’t see how people are hyped for a Filoni movie* when it took him 20 episodes laced with filler to tell a story with Clone Wars..
...that also overwrote and retconed better pre-existing EU clone wars stories. Dark Horse's Quinlan Vos was a billion times better than Filoni's ridiculous version of him.
This season, Filoni appears to have been given more control....and it stinks, to be honest.
More fan service, more Filoni style fan fiction/character inserts, more Saturday morning cartoon villains and plot points.
@Anoneemus Noename a lot of TCW episodes were separate one off stories, essentially filler in the overall picture. Really that's fine in a cartoon or a tv series with 20+ episodes a season , but not when you only have 6-8 30 minute episodes.
Loved the proud Dad side story with the exoskeleton! Unexpected wholesome content mid snarking is awesome.
I was expecting some hero arc for Din and the dark saber. Especially as he struggled to use it early on. I thought the whole season was gonna be this journey of self discovery or adventure or learning who he is and thus learning to wield the dark saber when he completes his hero arc or something. Instead we got one big clown fiesta
Grogu running around while they tried to kill him had me in hysterics. I'm not lying I replayed that scene about 4 times! I didn't mind the last 2 episodes but overall season 3 was crap. I loved the first two seasons but 3 was all over the place. It wouldn't bother me if they ended it now.
Disney is the biggest joke
Modern Disney you mean
Old Disney would be scrambling to fix this
Disney is the biggest joke.
This finale was a joke! Every moment felt so unearned and forced for the sake of spectacle. They had 8 episodes to flesh everything out and build to this moment but instead the season was mainly filler and distractions then expected your full investment in the finale. I wasn't going to but after a certain moment in episode 7, I HAD to put a video out for my own therapy to discuss every question this show raised through errors, contrivances and plot holes. Whilst this video sums up everything perfectly, if you still need a Mando fix, check it out.
Great video as always, was looking forward to see your disappointment (I mean that nicely)...
It SOUNDED good at least. My ATMOS setup was taking advantage of the Dolby Digital Plus track to produce some pretty cool overhead sound effects!
There's another channel where this female Star Wars fan watches these episodes. I'm betting she *LOVED* this episode. Why wouldn't she? I'm sure she gets all sorts of goodies from Disney. 😂😂😂
I feel so sorry for Ms. Sackhoff and Mr. Esposito, wasted potential
Exactly instead of using all 3 episodes for character development and world building they waisted time and made the mandos look bad.
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Ugh, this season felt so underwhelming, I can't even describe it properly, but I'll try.
One of my biggest bones of contention is that they showed the Mandalorians to be absolutely incompetent fighters throughout the whole season (half of the show in general), they got jumped on by flying dinosaurs (according to them numerous times), they settle in front of giant crocodiles, they get cornered by a bunch of pirates, but for whatever reason they took not a single casualty against a legion of storm troopers that have the same equipment as they have. To add to that, the armor was super inconsistent, from tanking dozens of blaster bolts to being one shotted, then using shields despite having Beskar armor (Din and the Troopers). And what was with the Praetorian Guards? They literally dismembered Paz Viszla, but couldn't do the same with Mando? Who took up less of a fight? The Darksaber being given to Bo-Katan (which btw is an extremist, war criminal and former terrorist but for whatever reason Rebels and Mando try to make her a good person???) just so it can be destroyed??? Also them firing up forges that have been dormant and partially destroyed for decades.
This show is so full of plot holes lol.
The first half of the first season was the only enjoyable piece of the Mandalorian, as soon as he kept the baby everything went south.
I feel sorry for Giancarlo Esposito and his character (Which was pretty cool) that they had to be wasted in such a show.
I really love Star Wars, I loved the Prequels, Clone Wars and the OT. But wow since Disney took over nothing went right with the franchise, Rogue One was okay, but that's it. Visions was cool, but isn't even considered Canon.
I really miss some of the old EU stories and characters and I'm scared everytime they announce to adopt EU characters into Disney canon, Thrawn went from military genius to cartoon villain. At this point I'm at a stage where I just want them to leave Star Wars alone, they've done enough damage. But they won't, because it brings in the merchandise sales...
I won't even ask why Mandalorians can suddenly fly into orbit with their jet pack. Or why the old republic cinematic trailers look much better than anything Disney has ever made.
I also forgot, that according to Clone Wars, the rightful owner of the Dark saber was Palpatine, as he defeated Maul.
Filoni forgets his own stories lmao
@@DefinitelyNotEmma I found it weird that the show really didn't want to talk about how both groups of mandalorians were considered fringe weirdos by the rest of their society. Or that the majority of their were pacifists for centuries.
@@shagohad3 Or that Bo-Katan basically doomed them all and nobody mentioned it further
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Everything you said is true. I just became a Star Wars fan and to me everything that was made before Disney is much more better and entertaining such as the EU and the game cinematics. And yet Disney can’t even make a simple show work!
Lol I've had a pretty minor hand injury before. Bo is never ever recovering from the damage her hand bones took in that scene 😂
Edit: I hope she gets a Skywalker style robot hand
Katee Sackhoff has been an athletic health nut pretty much forever, so I don't think she had to do much of anything special to "get ready for the mandalorian" other than recovering from childbirth a few years ago.
I checked out when they fired Gina! I came back and was almost fooled when Luke returned, but in the back of my mind I knew Darth Kennedy was going to ruin everything!
Indeed she did. Their best show with a simple premise was too difficult for the morons at lucasfilm to handle. Imagine them trying to make more movies in this state. Horrifying
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
I checked out when I fell asleep during the season 1 finale. The show was so boring.
Her influence was felt with the Vespa Speeder gang.
Mandalorian season 3 seems to be written by ChatGPT.
I hope I live to see the day Disney is just a memory.
Ever since TLJ, the central theme of Stars Wars seems to be; "Do you like Star Wars? Well, f#¢k you!"
They should have stopped after Revenge Of The Sith back in 2005
Mandalorian S1 and S2 - Were gonna give a story

So, Moff Fring was adding... midiclonians?
Now I’m thinking about it a Breaking Bad / Star Wars show would go ridiculously hard in the hands of the right writers
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Midichlorians have to be basically canon at this point because its the only way you could clone someone with force powers because using Grogu blood.
And they weren’t canon before?
It's key to understand that Favreau is on his way out and Filoni is taking over. Mando and Grogu are Favreau creations but all the others are Filoni. In effect Mando is becoming an extension of Rebels/Clone Wars. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing IMO, but Filoni gets along with KK and will not resist her influence. Ahsoka trailer already establishes they are bringing in Hera and Sabine. Imagine KK's wet panties at thinking she will have later shows with Bo, Sabine, Ahsoka, and Hera as the main protagonists! Luke, Mando, even Grogu are on the way out I suspect.
@Anoneemus Noename
1-KK isn't gone yet, and most of what I mentioned is almost released or in pre-production now. Indy 5 comes out June 30th. Months to tinker for her.
2-Even if KK gets fired (a different discussion) she still has hordes of minions scattered about, including (IMO) Filoni who agree with her agenda. Besides, Eiger is no better.
3-Pointing out it's speculation is kinda silly. EVERYTHING is speculation till it actually happens. If we can't speculate all we can do is passively "consume product" when they serve it to us. If you object to speculation....I suggest CZcams videos will be a frustrating medium for you.
The whole show feels like a very rough draft they wrote up in an afternoon.
Watched this with some family, everyone zoned out and started talking a few minutes in...
*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
Pedro, is that you?
@@musiclinkscanadainc 😂😂
To be fair to the Armourer, she had the only weapon that could work; blunt force trauma. Remember that everyone has laserproof armour at this point, and it’s actually kind of funny that everyone is blasting each other even though there’s a 90% chance you’re not gonna damage anything. Hitting someone with a heavy hammer in this scenario would actually take out a laserproof commando faster than shooting lasers at him.
Excellent point. That's why Judo was developed I believe. The only way to take the wind out of an armored samurai opponent was to lay them on their back real hard. Excellent point.

@@hez859 Seriously, sometimes I think people would rather nitpick than enjoy the ride.
@@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky season 3 wasn't perfect but it definitely wasn't the worst thing the way people are overreacting. A lot of star wars fan si know actually dug this season a lot and I think it's laying the groundwork for some big stuff... Dave Filoni's Ahsoka show I'm actually very excited for
@@hez859 Yea it's always relative. Fans complained about the prequels but obviously they're a lot better than the sequel trilogy. Honestly, the only people I see who disliked this season are people on the internet lol. Everyone I know, including me, enjoyed it. Is it top cinema? No. Is it fun to watch once a week on a Friday? Absolutely.
Yea, I was even wondering if we'd see Ahsoka this season but I guess not.
My dad and I have been watching this and the other Star Wars series together. It's one of the few things we're really able to do together, because my interests and his interests don't overlap too much. It's been really fun to watch and speculate on what happens next with him, and it softens the blow of some of the rougher stuff.
But by god, am I constantly cringing in the back of my mind while watching and talking about it.
Watching the 3 guards fight Grogu, I turned to my wife and said "Holy shit, it's the baby fight from the beginning of Kung Pow!"
These Exoskeletons exist for quite some time now. If I remember correctly, Hyundai Heavy Industries (the shipbuilder) had them for years now. There are Powergloves and other things too. 🙂

@@Apoc_Bone_Daddy You can search for things like 'Neomano', 'Bioservo' or more general 'assistive robotic glove'. Many projects are in-house only and not generally available.
The exo-suit gary saw sounds really cool.

*CRITICAL DRINKERS BLACK HAIR DYE IS A JOKE*
The whole SW Disney-verse became truly irredeemable after Lizzo. That was the official end.
I was supposed to care that IG-11 came back?
It actually confused me as I asked the wife "why was he brought back?" - she didn't know either.
They broke the Dark Saber so no one could go after Ho-Katan for her throne.

@@user-vi8rn8jv3k cope harder loser
I kind of want to know what Gideon's plan was when he said he'd "deal with the Mandalorian" before they flushed his clones. He sort of just... locks them in his control room briefly, and then just yells at them for flushing his clones? And then proceeds to punch Mando around, only pulling his funny purple stick out when Bo and the Dark Saber™ show up. Kind of interesting he doesn't have any kind of anti-beskar weaponry or has any kind of trap or actual plan to quickly dispose of/incapacitate the Mandalorians/Mando/Bo. Don't even get me started on his single type of soldier he has (why aren't there more soldier types in his very large base?, all of them just flying up to have a lame jet pack fight with the Mandalorians. Just feels... no effort overall, like no thought or consideration was put into anything. Just a bunch of action figures being thrown at each other until the bad action figure is swallowed up by fire and literally disappears.
I actually felt bad for Jack Black’s planet when their entire peacekeeping force that was living in a paradise just left because the plot had to happen.
Also why didn't Gideon just kill Din instead of taking him prisonaire? Then of course Din escapes and we never find out why.
Yeah that was pointless. There was no reason for Moff to keep him alive. Stupid.
@@dannyhernandez265 He didn't even take his helmet off in front of the other Mandalorians, to shame him.
@@thatHARVguy so dumb. It’s crazy how fast the show went to shit.
For those who might not know, during the Book of Boba Fett, it was stated that the Darksaber is made of Beskar. But not any Beskar, but a better and unique quality of it. Refined beskar, to be precise. I can not believe that an exo suit could crush a handle made of that material. It is not indestructible, but it would need something bigger than an exo to break it.
Huh? It's a beskar exosuit, it can crush other beskar.
@@AllyMonsters So what?
It might be as strong and durable as beskar, but do you think a merely exo suit could crush it?
An exo suit can generate enough strenght to crush it?
The material that can withstand blaster, explosions, lightsabers...but an exo esqueleton can crush it?
Yeah...I don't buy it.
Besides, the DS is made of refined beskar, making it stronger and more rare than regular beskar.
@@AllyMonsters if that were the case, Bo-Katan's hand would be ketchup
@@cashews4you Yeah, her hand was crushed. I agree that they should have given her a robot hand afterwords or shown her in a kolto/bacta tank getting healed. But she was clearly injured from the crush.
@@fenrir_Lokison9 A hydraulic press crushes stuff harder then the steel the press is made of all the time. The problem being that the dark saber is hallow, while the beskar armor is not.
It's basic physics.
When discussing a school field trip is more fun, exciting, inspiring and just plain cooler than the 'premier' science fantasy series in entertainment!!
7:04 sadly there *are* people who think Disney Star Wars is "just fine." And "is just a tv show." No. No it's not.
Can I just say screw the season.
I wasted a whole episode seing how great Bo Katan was because no mando jet pack had enough fuel to save the youngling from the dinosaur in one episode to a few episodes later
One guy flies out into deep space with one jet pack, After it's been used twice already.
There is a segment of dozens of mandals flying around fighting Air to air combat with those storm troopers.
Like what the hell is it then?! it's Lazy af writing.

The one thing I hate about Katee is. She said Kathleen Kennedy the woman responsible for the destruction of Star Wars and soon to be Indiana Jones is a genius.
Job security.
The higher they advance the story in the grand hierarchy of the galaxy the less I've found myself caring about the show, which is the opposite of how I thought I would feel. We go from Mando by himself doing bounties, to acquiring Grogu and angering a small contingent of Imperials, to involving the New Republic, to involving ex-Jedi, to angering the entirety of the Imperial Remnant. Bit of a shot in the dark on that last one but since it'll definitely be known to the powers that be (Hux, Pellaeon, Thrawn, etc) that Mando and Bo-Katan were responsible for the death of Gideon, there's no chance they take it lying down. Which all now leads us to the Ahsoka series. I hope it's good and stays more focused than Mando, cause good lord it'd be hard to be more scatterbrained than season 3 was.
We'll see Gideon again and it would be one of his force user clones
Remember when this show was first announced and we thought it'd be about a bounty hunter taking on contracts and going through the underworld of Star Wars? Yeah... we never actually got that.
Is there even going to be a 4th season? It looks like they tied up the plot pretty completely.
As long as the merch sells and they have a channel to launder money, it'll keep going for a while.

They have to make a time jump by next season. Grogu needs to grow enough to walk.

More interested in the real life exo-suit story than Star Wars at this point...
That puppet reference/parallel at ~12:40 was deliciously apt, Will 😄. RIGHT before you drew that parallel / made that joke, I was already thinking to myself, "CHRIST, they were increasingly dredging up old characters from actually successful stories instead of making new ones, and that was already terrible, but........now they're even dredging up their old characters from only a year or two prior, from relatively unimportant (in the zeitgeist) and middling shows??....I honestly didn't think they could fall any lower.........."
So when you made that parallel........it's just captures that sentiment so perfectly. I recall in 3rd grade having a little play set for puppet theatre, and I remember there only being, somewhat disappointingly, like 4 or 5 little puppet characters to make up little stories with. So when you said that, right as I was thinking about how much INSANELY tighter the circle for recycling has become, even if it involves recycling things that were trash the first time........appena un esempio perfetto, il mio amico! (repp'in my Italian heritage and as I teach myself Italian I find it more and more beautiful sounding.......omg, lmfao, just went to put a little Italian flag emote and............CZcams DOES have 1-2 flags for gay pride...........but zero flags for any nation, lmfao -I guess people are only ALLOWED to be proud of certain things these days lol😄
Remember when they made a big deal about the limits of the jet packs when the kid gets snatched by the dragon…but they have enough juice to break atmosphere and reach orbit?
I didn't know we were watching Obi Wan season 2. Feels like Kennedy got her hands on this season after that S2 finale with Luke Skywalker.
Its always a fun show when drinker and nerdrotic on it. 😂
another hilarious blooper in the guards scene is that Din grabs one of their weapons with his bare hand and it pulls the guy down. Apparently they're more powerful than lightsabers but also okay to handle.
At this point I'd expect a new movie about finding the Holy Grail will see the protagonists destroy it because reasons.
They do it because Christianity is _evil_
1:27 I will say this:
CLONING A FORCE USER WAS STUPID WHEN THE FORCE UNLEASHED 2 DID IT. And they at least had talent back then.
Also I’d have watched this season if they were chasing Baby Yoda with giant fly swatters trying to squish him.
The Force Unleashed 2 should have been the clone wars
And in tfu2 most of the strakiller clones went mad cuz of them getting flashbacks of his memories but doing something like this in mando would need a competent writing team.
I just wanted a cool space bounty hunter show with a Mandalorian.
Do you think they did the knighting thing for Grogu just so they can make a lazy reason to call him a “Jedi Knight” in the future?
That nerdrotic guy is everywhere. He built his channel so fast.
Bo-Katan is an awesome character... just not in the Mandalorian... her relationship with her sister in the Clone Wars was very interesting. A sister who was the queen of Mandalore and Obi-Wan's love and was never mentioned in the show btw xD
Her sister is dead, so exploring that relationship is a dead end. So is Obi-Wan as far as she knows. She ruled Mandalore once and it was destroyed, she wanted it back, but lost the chance to re-take it. Does she really want to kill Din for the chance to rule again? Does she want to rule again? As we shown, she had to be pushed into taking the leadership.
@@pogo1140 Yeah but not even mentioning her sister, the last real Ruler of Mandalore in 2 seasons is kinda weird.

Season 3 feels like Dark Helmet in Spaceballs playing with his dolls.
Favereu definitely checked out and it shows.
The interns wrote this season. 😆
I can only guess IG-11 (which for those who actually were watching and listening carefully to the previous episode, actually became IG-12!!) had its 'redemption arc' because it was voiced by Waititty, Disney's favoured son, so might go on to hold a more prominent role in the next and final (!?) season of this show? Remember, all roads point towards a imminent movie, which has been confirmed to finalise all these stories (Ahsohka, Boba Fett and Mando.) … only then will the 'circle be complete'.
You hardly need to "listen carefully" to anything in this show (exception being Favreau's "I'm out mf'er" hidden message from Babu Frik).
Why does he even want his role when his voice is robotised?
My biggest problem is the lack of a single believable character or place or world rule or mechanic. The total absence of consistency in every domain except goofyness.
As Drinker said it feels like the same 3 puppets shuffled around to create "content" as efficiently as possible by someone with no imagination or respect for the material.
And the whole thing STINKS of Disney's stench from start to finish, it's unbearable.
Lucky you if you can't smell it.
I think Star Wars has so many generations of fans that we all see it differently. I started by seeing the original as a young lad back in 1977, when Han shot first.
I enjoyed all 4 seasons of Mando (wished we had a real Boba Fett show, but that's another discussion). He is a side character that took us on adventures throughout the galaxy. It was meant to be a TV show to go along with the movies. Only the movies died a horrible death. So then it became the headliner it was not meant to be.
I think it hits a lot of the classic Star Wars themes that George had in the original series (including merchandising). But seriously I enjoyed it for what it was. A focused story on one person's journey that was not the center of the universe.
And I enjoyed the end scene as a nod to old Ben.
Someone without being at least force sensitive can add the force to the clones he's creating. Kind of like The infinity stones being paperweights. The Sith are antiheroes, and we can deconstruct and humiliate any male hero who will bend the knee to the Uber Girl Boss, and The Dark Saber really doesn't matter. I thought the finale was better than the rest of the episodes of season 3 put together, but that's not saying much and Gary is right. Disney has ruined two franchises so thoroughly, there's no coming back. I think "Ahsoka" will be the last Star Wars movie or TV show I'll watch. Depending on how much Uber Girl Power and how many men bend the knee in that series will determine if I watch the entire series or not. Everything Disney does is ultra cringe anymore.
Don't be surprised if Finn is going to be in the next Rey Star Wars film Episode X and they get married and she has his kid. Who cares what these talentless corporate hacks do with Star Wars from this point on. If you're a true hardcore Star Wars Fan, you'll stop watching this garbage. "Ashoka" will be it for me. I don't know why I'm going to watch that series. but I guess I'm curious about how they present Ahsoka in that series. However, I guarantee I won't watch "Ashoka" Season 2. As for all the terrible and awful projects KK announced at the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, I'm checking out. 46 years as a Star Wars Fan has ended. Actually, it was good from 1977 to about 2013. So about 36 years total.
KK needs to either retire or kick the fucking bucket, cause we do not need a twitter witch taking the helm, and especially one that treats the prequels as something that doesn't exist, or literally not contacting George for advice before making the sequels
Was 3 when ANH came out but as I became older as a kid and was allowed to watch it became a magical film in my heart.. it all ended with ROTS. Had a nice run..
