The Mandalorian

This show proves that the whole 'woke' horseshit is just a festering ideology and not about actual representation. The Mandalorian pretty much checks all the diversity boxes, but isn't seeped in the gender studies gobbledigook. But you can bet since it's not promoting their specific ideology, it's not enough for them.
I have faith they'll stay on course. This show is the only Star Wars property that is universally praised. They should be too scared to change anything

i dont even think about "muh diversity" when it comes to this show. Gina Carano can chew up Reys for breakfast and Captain Marvels for lunch. Apollo Creed (yes i know that not his name, but it actually sounds more Star Wars than the name he does have) is a boss and talks the talk and walks the walk. Mando is a white dude from Chile, but since he is in a mask all the time he really isnt anything other than Mando. He still does dumb shit, but it humanizes him so you dont get him mixed up with a robot. however, i do think Gustavo Fring was horribly miscast for this show. but thats only because he looks like he's phoning it in. maybe he will do better next time we see him.

so, was it ever confirmed he was the pair of boots over Ming Na Wen's corpse ?

That was Boba Fett. And this final episode drops more hints to Boba's reappearance.

That pendant Baby Yoda is chewing on at the end? It's a mandalorian symbol for the Mythosaur, a legendary creature of Mandalorian lore (mentioned by Kuill in early episodes), and it's Boba Fett's emblem (on his pauldron). Mando says he hasn't seen that in a long time and tells Baby Yoda to hang onto it. I think that was a hint Boba Fett will be returning in season 2, especially after all those mandalorians died in the sewers, it's time for some payback.

What Mando said was "I didn't think I'd see this again." Because when he thought he was going to die he gave it to Cara to show the Mandalorians.

My mistake on the misquote, but it could still be a double-meaning sentence on a meta-level. Didn't think I'd see it again because I thought I was a goner, and didn't think I'd see this again because the character famously wearing that insignia died years ago.

Anyway, can't wait for season 2!

That symbol predates Boba Fett among Mandalorians. It just happened to be the insignia on who ever he stole the armor from. Jango and Boba are not true Mandos.

The scouts not being able to blast anything from literal point blank range was really offputting even if the rest of that scene was pretty cool. Pretty good season finale to a decent but not great show. Will very likely watch season 2.

They couldn't have shaved off that stupid mustache?

Also...Darksaber?

Thousands of years ago there was a Mandalorian that became a Jedi. The Darksaber was his lightsaber. After his death it was kept in the Jedi Temple til some Mandos broke in and stole it. It has become a symbol of leadership amongst the Mandalorian people. The last time it was seen was in the hands of Bo-Katan Kryze after it was given to her by Sabine in the last season of Rebels. I assume that Moff Gideon stole the Darsksaber during the sacking of Mandalore. So this basically dates The Great Purge as happening during the OT timeline.

I really enjoyed this show. This is the only good Star Wars thing since Return of the Jedi.

Ahh Ok. I didn't watch Rebels (I will soon, going to watch all the cartoon SW series on Disney+). I thought it was just a big vibroknife/sword.

Last episode was the best of the series by a long shot. Most of it was just side salad with delicious baby Yoda dressing.

The end with Darth Blackula pulling out the light saber was cool, can't wait for some faggot to post a 5 paragraph story about it because I hear it's in the cartoons.

Gavinmad around?

Harshaw · Dec 27, 2019

Soo that was Jason Sudeikas that was playing the scout trooper that was bonking baby Yoda.

LOL those speeder pilots.

"He just killed an officer for interrupting him... it may be some time."

Reminded me of TROOPS.

Would love more of this in some form, a mini-series, something.

That was a lightsaber? I took it to be a big vibroblade. Or was it supposed to be the Darksaber? I never watched the cartoons.

Anyway, very solid show. I'm glad that the season eventually settled into being legitimately good without the automatic bonus points for being Star Wars.

In the scene where the mandalorians rescue child Din Djarin the emblem is more like a squished batman, not the mythosaur.

Valderen · Dec 27, 2019

I enjoyed the season overall, while not great tv it was entertaining and good Star Wars.

i do hope they bring back Gina also, she’s a good character that plays off well with Mando. The other thing is the episodes with recurring cast were the best in my opinion, the first 2 or 3 and the last 2.
looking forward to season 2.

While I think a small dose of Baby Yoda is ok, I’m a bit worried that the show will be focused too much on him in season 2, find out what race he is, what planet he is from and try to bring him there etc...

I have been saying exactly this since ep 2.
