The Mandalorian SPOILERS

[N-E-B]

About time we got a bit of progression to the overall story. Big cliffhanger!

Holy cripes, everything about that episode was awesome and tragic.

Oh man that was good!! Any tie-in to the movie? Could Moff Gideon still be alive? Is he Snoke?

Baby Yoda force choke!!!!

This episode was fantastic. It's kinda crazy how Star Wars came full circle back to the sci fi serials that inspired it.

Complete with all the cliff hangers of those serials, a solid story, and an insane budget, they've managed to launch Disney+ in a very inspired and genuine fashion that I imagine the creators of those early 1900s shows and hopefully George Lucas would both be proud of.

[CaptainCrunch]

So this is just speculation. We saw the ratty undisciplined Storm Troopers in the town and we heard the speech about the Empire bringing piece and order and prosperity and trade etc. then we see the call from Moff Gideon.



The next thing we see is the Death Troopers and Storm Troopers in shiny armor and Gideon is that perfect armor.


I wonder if Moff Gideon is actually first order and not Empire.



So what I loved about that episode

Spoiler!

Gina is awesome in every fight scene she does. She just makes it look brutal and real.



Baby Yoda using force choke, right down to the angry expression on his/her face when it was being done.


Again Baby Yoda flying the ship and laughing Giggling


IG-11's training montage where it learned how to walk and stack boxes and killed lizards. More on him later.


That fight scene against the flying beasts was great and shot well. Baby Yoda finally heals someone and of course that changes the obvious betrayal


Herzog is so good at being sinister and that speech about the glory of the Empire was really well delivered. But before the Mandalorian could kill them we're introduced to what I believe is the big bad Moff Gideon



The chase to the ship but Kuiil with the scout troopers chasing him was so awesome because we got to the point where we saw the ramp drop, then the next scene we see Kuil's body and we also saw the troopers capture Baby Yoda. Meanwhile in the bar we see the Ambush of Ambush.



These troopers were different from the Remnant Troopers that we've seen so far. We saw the awesome Death Troopers, and Troopers in pristine armor coming in the Armored Tran port that so many of us owned as a kid. Then we saw a Tie Fighter land, and it looked awesome, and we saw Gideon. By tthe way, I don't think that was an ordinary Tie, it reminded me of the Tie Advanced that the Inquisitors cruised around in Rebels


At that point we hit the cliff hanger ending.



So I have the 1 question, when Kuiil was racing towards the Razors Crest, where was IG-11 he's the missing figure here and heading into the final episode is he how our hero's escaped.



But I expect there's no way that they resolve the Baby Yoda kidnapping before the end of next weeks season ender.

BTW they need to release a poster book of all of the credits artwork.

Yeah, because I love Mcquarrie artwork so much, I wold shamefully buy it.

[Coys1882]

So I think I figured out what this show reminds me of.

Burn Notice.

Every episode it's like he's reluctantly doing jobs/missions he's not really into but does anyway.

"Michael, you need to help your brother"
"Mando, you need to help baby yoda"

Same show.

[CroFlames]

Baby Yoda force choke was unexpected and wonderful. Angry face was icing on top.

[OutOfTheCube]

Man, my favorite character whacked at the end of the episode sucks. I demand vengeance. Excited to see how it ends!

[CaptainCrunch]

The next episode and the end of season 1 drops on the 27th as an FYI.

Thought it was pretty great. However, when Carl Weathers was explaining how the original plan was do double-cross the Mandalorian....I was like wow that's a shocker.

[CaptainCrunch]

I don't think that there was any secret that there was a double cross coming, it showed how savvy the Mandalorian was that he got his own crew to counter it..


Even after he killed his own crew, Cara was constantly feeling a second double cross was coming, and she was right about that, she was just wrong about who would do the double crossing.

[GreenLantern]

Great episode, best of the year. I know there had been speculation that this whole team building thing had a purpose, and it paid off in spades.

I do wonder if the Ugnaught is actually dead, or if he is coming back with a IG-11 programmed to protect baby Yoda and ready to kill. There has to be a reason they spent the time they did on the back story of the re purposed droid.

[CaptainCrunch]

My bet, when they took the baby from the ship IG-11 followed his programming to protect his master and the baby and is in town.


Its the only way I think they can break that ambush.

I get the feeling he's crafted himself some kind of suit of armour. It would be a pretty weak send off to just have him die off screen alone in the dessert. I need to re-watch the episode. I'd like to go into detail through his dialogue about surviving enslavement to see if there are any clues to his current fate.
