She was terrible. I don’t think she should’ve been fired but she was horrible. She couldn’t have been more stiff.I was all into wanting to watch the series until they fired Gina Carano.
This!Was he ever? Grogu is “The Mandalorian”
Who’s the main character in any of the Star Wars series? They’re all ensemble pieces.So is Mando not the main character anymore? I feel like he has been relegated to a side character mostly.
right?!?!!ZEB!!!!!
Close...The history of the Dark Saber is not a straight line and even though it seems like it. It is not like the Elder Wand in Harry Potter which has a master who must obtain the Saber defeating its owner in combat.
These are the people who have processed the Dark Saber
So when you look at the history the possession of the Dark Saber has really only moved from one owner to another via direct combat twice. The Saber has never united the Mandalorians it has almost always divided them. I think that is will do that again. Din Djarin is the owner of the Saber in the eyes of The Watch. They will not follow Bo-Katan if Din Djarin is still alive. She would be seen once again as a pretender.
- Tarre Vizsla: He is the original owner and builder of the Dark Saber. The only Mandalorian Jedi this was around 1032 BBY. It was taken from him and placed in the Jedi Temple
- Pre Vizsla: He and other members of Death Watch stole back around 21 BBY. He attempts to use it to reunite the Mandalore.
- Darth Maul: He killls Pre Vizsla and takes the Saber but he is defeated by Dark Sidious but he does not take the saber. Maul has it as late as BBY 19. He is eventually killed b Obwan but the Saber is long gone.
- Kanan Jarrus: In Rebels Sabine Wren gets the Saber from the Nightsisters and gives it to the only Jedi she knows which Kanan Jarrus.
- Sabine Wren: Kanan Jarrus gives it back to Sabine and tries to train her to use it.
- Bo-Katan Kryze: Sabine Wren then gives it to Bo-Katan so she can reunite Mandalore. She fails and the result is The Great Purge in during the Emperial Era. She flees and leaves the Saber.
- Moff Gideon: He was a general in the Purge and ends up with the Saber around 9 ABY.
- Din Djarin: Defeats Gideon and takes possession of the saber but offers it to Bo-Katan who refuses it because she had to win it in battle.
The Mythosaur in the room is the other prophecy which The Armorer alludes to. That the return of the Mythosaur will be the start of the new era of Mandalore. It is not clear that Din Djarin saw it. Bo-Katan knows the old stories and prophecies. The Mythosaur is central to the Mando culture and is axiomatic. It is the origin point. It is older than the Dark Saber and one who can bring it back and maybe even "ride it" like their ancestors will trump the owner of the Dark Saber.
To me this is the conflict. She is not going to get the Dark Saber. DF & JF along with the director of Episode 2 Rachel Morrison make sure that you see that Din Djarin is still in possession of the Saber at the end of Episode 3. They zoom in on the Saber on his belt. I think he is going to retain the Saber and she will bring the Mythosaur and their factions will fight for control. The Dark Saber will once again be a source of division not unity. The question becomes who wins and in what manner. I believe that The Armorer has a hidden agenda. She knows more than she tells Mando and might be using him to meet her goals.
I agree 100% that the show took a huge leap towards what we want to see. He is my wild theory. Who in the show can both wield a lightsaber and control an animal? Grogu is the only one and he is a now both a Mandalorian Foundling and a Jedi.
Today's episode is garbage. Terrible acting, terrible writing, Saturday morning cartoon quality dialogue. FF to the last two minutes because the first 44 should have been cut in editing.
I believe the acting and dialog in this series is just as bad or possibly even worse than the Obi Wan episodes. A true disappointment. They could have done so much better.
I'll for sure say they tried to make it "fun' and overshot the mark.I dunno enough about acting to say more than “it sucked”. Three terrible cameos in one scene… m’lord and m’lady jumped the space shark.
I don't think there is a lot of great acting in the series, but it's more of a story that a lot of people are into. Acting peformances that are ok....the lady Jedi who was to teach group and the space craft mechanic.She was terrible. I don’t think she should’ve been fired but she was horrible. She couldn’t have been more stiff.
That's what happens when Kathleen Kennedy gets involved. Apparently Favreau was ready to quit if she didn't start backing off. She is the only reason that Grogu is still in it from what I've seen.First two seasons were great,it was actually must see TV for me.
This season I'll watch it sometime during the week if nothing else is on knowing I'm going to be disappointed
My brain is telling me it is guaranteed garbage if it is connected to the sequals trilogy in any way. Lol.They screened S3E7 at Celebration this weekend for those in attendance and I believe showed a teaser trailer for S3E8. All the SW Youtube accounts I follow said that these last two episodes FINALLY make all of S3 make sense and set up the Ashoka series. One Youtuber even recommended re-watching the Force Awakens as there are some unexpected connections with events and characters.
As side comment I was listening to a breakdown on New Rockstars and they pointed out a interesting fact about Mandalorian. It is at it essence a kids show. It has to be simplistic so that 8 year olds understand it. They then buy the toys and then grow up to be adults who buy toys. It has to be written at a simplistic level. Compare it to Andor which is an adult show written for an adult audience. That is why it has so much more character development. It is not being written to entertain kids in order to sell toys.
Yup most of us are grown a%% adults watching a kids show buying kids toys. 🤣 😂 😄You can say the same thing with just about any Star Wars movie/franchise. Hell, my mom probably bought me $1,000 of merch by the end of 1977.
I agree some of the franchise shows are targeted to adult audiences, though. Andor does have more complexity and nuance for sure. And Mandalorian? Who doesn't want a plush 'baby Yoda'?
When I saw this I was thinking that if she hadn't left she wouldn't have backed down or escaped with the others. That it was so they could keep her in the series. But your analysis seems plausible too.She then leaves with the wounded just as Moff Gideon arrives.
@wvsig, I am no huge fan, my daughter got me into this and it’s okay, but it seems that what I saw differs from the writeup you shared.
The armorer and injured did get out of atmosphere and see the fleet, not under attack. I was expecting it, and we see MG order the attack, so we know that it’s coming, but I don’t think it had launched by the end of the episode.
About the armor, does seem like there is now a lot being deployed quietly by the factions of the empire, on top of a bunch of mercenary Mandolorians, I don’t know how it is being made, but the presence on MGs prison transport doesn’t tell me who freed him.
