i heard those same numbers too, which i dunno where they came from, but it didnt seem to make sense, what the fuck else is on TV? this show had good buzz all year. that more or less made me check out the episode to see how bad it was. it had the same tone as last season, though the spacefro lady seemed to be poorly used. she said she was going to babysit BY and not only does she never do that, she is never seen again in the episode. perhaps she does babysit baby yoda, in an earlier cut and they later decided they wanted baby yoda with Mando instead. which is also odd because he has no impact on the episode other than being cute.

You do have a set of people that are gonna sit out and wait for the show to have all episodes to binge.

im not a binge person. i like following along from week to week and threads here used to be fun with theorycrafting. even if it turned out most of the time to be bullshit and we got blueballed because our theories were often better than how these storylines actually turned out. i think binging killed a lot of TV shows and the whole TV show experience.

the guys over at Carlin Brothers on Youtube have a theory that the round thing from the Crayt Dragon is not an egg, but a pearl, which contains a kyber crystal that with Ashoka's and Baby Yoda's help will create a light saber for Mando to use against Moff Gideon's darksaber. is that possible?

Krayt Pearls are a thing, and they are super super rare. There is a mission in KOTOR that has you get a pearl by killing a Krayt Dragon. The crystal thing is pretty sus. Especially since Beskar armor is supposed to be lightsaber proof. There are also other canon items that can be used to fight lightsabers that would be way easier to get.

If you want to join the star wars mud ive been on since the early 90's you'd realize that vibrosabers are dime a dozen. literally the cheapest weapon in the imperium.

vibroblades are basically exactly what you think they are. they come in several styles (knives, swords, i think even axes for the gamorians). the blades themselves vibrate in small but extremely quick manner making them (from what i remember) not only cut but destabilize whatever they come in contact with. lightsabers themselves can cut through them, but they are resistant to some extent.
i don't know if it's canon anymore, but cortosis is a rare alloy that actually shuts down lightsabers when they come in contact with it. though they might have retconned it that it's just highly resistant to lightsabers, i don't remember. some vibroblades were coated with cortosis specifically to fight jedi. either way, i don't think it ever showed up in clone wars or rebels, so it might not be a thing anymore

The Trandoshans that attacked Mando in Ep2 we're using Vibroblades as well. They're fairly common.

correct. vibroblades are basically standard weapons. if someone has access to a blaster, they have access to a vibroblade.
the question is whether or not cortosis is still a thing, because otherwise even with the normal resistance of a vibroblade, lightsabers still cut through them easily enough
