Full set already. I wonder when it gets his colors.

I'm guessing juicing force wielders is how Snoke is getting his powers.

I doubt the tattered new canon Imperial remnant has much of anything to do with what will become the first order, unless that's the end of season tie in people were talking about.

Anyway those flashbacks don't make any fucking sense. If they're saying the Empire wiped out Mandalore sometime between the events of Rebels and Return of the Jedi, that would be some darkest timeline shit, especially with Sabine being remarkably upbeat after the decimation of her family and homeworld when we see her meeting up with Ahsoka during the Rebels series finale. Also, those sure didn't look like Imperials during that flashback and that was definitely a separatist battle droid.

In fact it flat out can't be Mandalore that they're talking about because he isn't old enough in those flashbacks if we're only now 5 years post Jedi, and they don't appear to be in domes which is how everyone on Mandalore lives.

"Foundlings" don't have to be Mandalorians. Any child found on a battlefield can be adopted as a foundling.

Ahh so that's what it was.

I was coming to post this episode felt a little different. Not at all bad, I thought it was great--but it had a much more action movie feel to it rather than a western (Especially with the Storm Troopers clearing the room ect). Something just felt a little faster paced.

Really good episode though, enjoyed it a lot.

Haven't watched EP3 yet, but that previous shit with riding a fat alien tranny horse felt very cartoonish. Try once, "I can't do this." 'Yes you can, your people rode some bullshit giant monster!' "Okay!.....I'm doing it! I'm doing it!"

No. That was fucking amateur hour tv show right there. I'd tolerate that if this were Duck Tales 2.0, or Crocodile Dundee 4, but not a brand new Star Fucking Wars series.

And TBH, this is rather boring. I feel like I'm watching a noob play an MMO. Gotta collect the bespar to make the armor so I can collect more bespar and fulfill my quest. Yech.

when i saw the first episode, i kind of just accepted that there'd be some goofy stuff thrown in here and there because they just can't seem to help themselves. but the... whatever that was that he had to learn to ride has really been the only thing on that level so far. i took the "you'll need one to get there" to basically mean that all the other routes were guarded well enough that you'd need this thing to get over some weird terrain (the cracked desert). sure he COULD have flown his ship there, but then they'd know he was there, and he was clearly trying to be stealthy and do recon first.

also, his flashbacks. based on what we've seen so far, i'm going to guess that the battle droids were trouncing his village, and some mandalorians came and whooped up on them. maybe they wanted to look for foundlings, maybe they just were itching for a fight... and i'd say being a mandalorian is probably similar to being jewish in that you can be biologically jewish and/or religiously jewish.

Yeah that whole "You're a Mandalorian, this should be easy for you!" and then the droid does all the work until the last moment when Amanda jumps on the canon. Classic Star Wars?

Amanda the Mandalorian, just cause I'm not liking this show. Maybe it gets better and I rename her Manda the Mandalorian. Or it gets worse and I rename her Jon Favilure.

except that nonsense about never taking your helmet off is not mandalorian culture. this is like some cult of mandalorian fanboys that was founded by someone who wasnt mandalorian.

I very much like the show, but this part, exactly, made me wonder if Lucas Arts is still doing lore checks or did Disney give Favreau free reign within reason. Even the Mandalorian faction Death Watch, the hardcore old code warrior separatists, kill the Jedi, kick out the Republic, in the Clone Wars series, took off thier helmet, outside of battle, all the time.
