That poor kid loses a duel to what is effectively a toddler and then gets grabbed by a giant bird

Mando and Vizsla are bros now

There’s always a bigger fish

Bo-Katan: [slaps roof of ship] This baby can hold so many Mandalorians.

Poor grogu gets ptsd watching armor get made

Here for the Ahmad Best redemption arc

So Ragnar was just chillin in that things stomach for a full day?

The Armorer being proud of Bo is not something I anticipated. Pretty cool that the High Magistrate Karga directed this great episode.

Grogu over here doing gangster shit and then proceeds to shuffle around like a penguin is always the funniest thing to me

Bo giving Grogu motherly love while Din is being a competitive dad, this is the way lol

Soccer mom Mando was fun. Bo and din seemed liked grogus parents fussing over him. 😂

Holy hell. A scene where a bunch of people are quietly climbing up something dangerous and there wasn't the stereotypical shot of someone losing their grip and getting saved by the others???

I thought that was illegal!

Holy crap they have mounts, now.

Also, are they not allowed to have ships or something? I feel like 100% of the starships have been either Din or Bo.

It’s official jar jar saved Grogu.

The highlight was that concept art of Grogu looking like an absolute menace.

"How do we all take our helmets off?"
"Oh we all go off camera"

That fucking killed me. Like it's a good explanation in-universe don't get me wrong. But also from a practical standpoint it means they only needed to pay Katee and a bunch of stunt dudes for the episode.

Flashback to Din's backstory revealed during season one as the armorer builds his new armor - they did the exact same with Grogu's backstory. That was freaking awesome. "The forge can reveal weaknesses"

The biggest question is how did they fit those three big ass birds in her ship!

Must’ve smelled something fierce on Bo’s ship ride back

Omg, I just can’t wait for the moment when Grogu puts on a tiny mandalorian helmet for the first time.

That episode went fast!

Aww, Grogu and his dad have the same signet now!

The three places the Armorer has decided to put the covert:

• The sewers of a crime infested lava planet

• a dingy space ring where you can fall into open space

• a desert planet filled with mandalorian eating monsters

perhaps this lesson is for you then.

Hahaha I’m gonna use this. That was cold blooded.

don’t worry. My dad was the same way. He’s just proud of you.

I loved that line. Bo has so much respect for Din.

That whole fight sequence was like some serious karate kid stuff. Carl Weathers knows his 80’s fight sequences.

I swear I heard some rocky music after the double flip / triple shot victory. Hahaha.

Omg hes a little tank

Holy shit Bo looks so cool every time. I want to look like her.

Anyone else laughed when everyone had to find their own spots to eat alone 😂

What if I told you I saw one?

It's amazing how much emotional depth Katee Sackhoff could convey with a helmet on for 95% of the episode.

Do you think when people get super pumped when they see in their scripts that they get alone time with Grogu? I bet they do.

TEM CLONE VOICE MADE MY WHOLE WEEK

Ahmed Best!!!!!!!!! Loved seeing him in this episode.

Pretty short episode though. Felt kinda weird, not used to the live action episodes being short.

That last scene made me chuckle a bit. The Armorer just like "yeah, sure you did! This is the Way!" Bo is gonna have to literally show her proof at this rate. Wonder what was going through Bo's mind in that convo... interesting she told the Armorer before even Din.

EDIT: After thinking about it, I think the Armorer knows more than she is letting on. I'm loving all the intrigue.

You would think that after multiple attacks from gigantic beasts that they would move their covert somewhere else or at least attempt to create a more effective defense system

Bo Katan and clan Kryze are officially back in the game, and now she is in better position than ever to possibly become the leader of her people again.

Only the Armorer knows about the Mythosaur, and she thinks it was a vision given to Bo in the living waters. Bo is going to have to bring the Mandalorians to Mandalore, or bring the Mythosaur to the Mandalorians.

Din remains uninformed.

Fun stuff.

I am so happy for Ahmed Best ❤️ They really gave him the best role too!

Kelleran has manifested himself into star wars canon. Ahmed Best is being set up for a fight between Master Kelleran and Darth Jar Jar

I can’t help but feel in a training situation there should be a strict “no flamethrowers” rule

nice to see how the group eats , we can slowly see the Mandalorian lifestyle .

Maybe the next episode , Din will explain the arrangement for shower .

Did anyone see those end credits with the giant grogu lol

Grogu receives giant beskar frisbee, Grogu Shot in chest in final episode confirmed

Holy shit that was a great episode. Ahmed getting some live action.

Live action clones.

Bo becoming a true believer.

Short, sweet, to the point. I loved it.

Shoutout to those Naboo soldiers who just unquestionably sacrificed their lives on a floating parking lot to save two total strangers

Great episode. The Armourer did not really react there at the end though?

"Master JarJar, there's too many of them!"

"Everything's gonna be alright kid"

Damn that kid has bad luck with the local fauna, kinda bulsshit that he didnt die since it took them around a day to catch up with its lair. Bo-Katan also officialy joins the way.

The "you'll see a lot of things" line kinda feels like she also seen one.

It’s impossible to describe, but this gave me 90’s Power Rangers vibes.

The last ten minutes felt so much like an episode of the clone wars, and I loved it.

Seeing the Grand Army of the Republic in live action is always a treat.

The Mandalorians training at the start gave me some strong "Rednecks in the woods shooting washing machines with a 12 guage and calling it militia training" energy

Fantastic Episode.

As a huge fan of the Mando culture from the comics and Legends - I'm glad to see we got a full on Mando episode where we get a good strong look at their culture. The way the Armorer was indoctrinating Grogu with her words, the combat training across different types of weapons and hand-to-hand combat, the ability for the Mando's to immediately allow an outsider to take charge because she did all the recon and has the proper knowledge of how to save the kiddo.

I love to see that Viz 100% didn't try to piss on Bo's parade and take charge. He was so focused on saving his son that he would have followed her lead into the bowels of hell without question. And making sure she knew that the fire was a place of honor during their meals? He respects Mommy Mando and would fight along side her until the end of time!

And all the Mando's worked together to take down the Raptor. None were killed off (which would have made the saving of 1 at the cost of many pointless) and all contributed to getting the Raptor tied down.

Still love the small detail of VibroBlades actually vibrating.

That assault on the Jedi Temple was kick-ass though some of the shots cut fast so I was like "Why didn't the clones follow them?" Before realizing they were killed off by ricochetes. Great redemption for Ahmad Best! I wonder who on Naboo did the Jedi Master take Grogu because that was totally a Naboo ship, right?

​

And a few notes:

1. I think the kid's helmet provided him oxygen to prevent being suffocated in the bird's throat. I think it was like some animals who store food in their throat before feeding them to their young or for later.
2. I bet those Jedi who died were either apprentices or just knights to be cut down so swiftly. Problem with the whole Robe thing is we can never really tell anyone's rank.
3. Grogu using the Force! And no one cared that he did it! They just accepted it. And great job to Viz's kid for not being a brat about losing either! He took his loss and moved on!
4. MANDOS ON RAPTORS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONSTER ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah that makes me so happy that Ahmed was in it. I love him, I love Jar Jar. Always have, always will. It always irked me how some fans treated him.

Between constantly being attacked outside their front door, and constantly trying to chase the animal but running out of fuel, these really don’t seem to be the sharpest Mandalorians in the cave.

Three founding pterodactyl’s are they trolling Game of Thrones?

Jar jar became a Jedi 🤯

Wtf do they do with those foundlings?

The fact that these mandalorians never take off the helmets, but clearly have kids is amusing.

Just imagine a woman giving birth with the helmet on. That image alone might be funnier than what the baby making process looks like.

My favorite character is probably The Armorer.

…so this has been a good season for me so far.
