Now don't get me wrong, its said with such sarcasm by "that" character.

But you have to admit its prophetic.

What other lines have such chutzpah ?

I was watching season 3 episode 5 of Clone Wars and couldn't help but realise that the music that plays when Satine and Padme visit the Mandalore school (plays at 10:41) sounds a lot like The Baby song from The Mandalorian (specfically starting from 2:09). Maybe I'm just reaching but damn do both sound really similar. I'd like to believe that The Baby took inspiration from TCW.

Is this there a nice community discord for this series?

I introduced my 5yo nephew to the Mandalorian a year or more ago. His parents thought I was crazy, they thought he wouldn’t understand it and would be scared. But he loved it, and now that he has seen every episode multiple times he’s a Mandalorian expert.

So a few nights ago, I was babysitting him and I asked if he wanted to watch the first Star Wars movie (episode IV of course), which he was up for because who doesn’t love a movie night and he’s a very agreeable little guy. Again, his parents thought I was being so silly, and that he wouldn’t understand it. And it’s true I had to do a lot of explaining over the course of two hours. But he also recognized so many things in the movie just from watching Mandalorian! He knows R2 and Luke (he calls him Lukey) and a few other droids that are in the movie and also the show. He knows that the Jawas drive around the desert, collecting/stealing technology and selling it. He asked why Luke Skywalker only has one light saber, when he knows Ahsoka Tano has two. When the droids pass the huge skeleton in the desert, he knows what kind of “monster worm” that comes from, and he knows about the Tusken Raiders. Oh and my favorite thing he caught was Luke using the training ball when he is starting out, and later using a similar one when training Grogu.

So all in all, the Mandalorian really helped him get used to the Star Wars universe, and that made me really happy.

(The only downside was he was convinced that Moff Gideon was the leader of the bad guys because he only knows Darth Vader from various LEGO sets.)

I'm not sure how the MAJORITY of Mandalorian fans feel about season 3 of the show. I have met people in real life saying "Don't watch it, I heard it sucks" and they themselves have never seen Season 3. Now where do you think that narrative come from? I watched it, in my opinion it was a fine addition to my collection.

Been doing toy photography for a few months - just wanted to share one of my faves!

What do you guys think?

So, Mandalorian has been disappointing me heavily in various ways these last couple seasons. The first was amazing to the point I have figures of the the main cast of protagonists on my shelf with a MAFEX IG-11 front and center. These last two seasons we've gotten really haven't made me feel as excited about the show or characters, though, especially with how the story clearly took too big of a dip in focusing on Grogu after higher ups demanded he be brought back for merchandise instead of the original story plans they had.

BUT.... If there's something that they get so right, and consistently seem to in all Star Wars media, it's the freakin' droids, and the B2s in Madalorian I think are the PERFECT evolution of their design.They're big, they're bulky, they're intimidating, and they look like they can both take and dish hits more than any version of them we've seen before.

The way the B1 behaved when we saw it talking to Mando and Bo-Katan made it beyond obvious they heavily drew from their most memorable forays in Clone Wars, and because of that I know for a fact they did the same for B1s. They're the perfect blend of the original design from Episode 2, and the design for Clone wars. They're sleek and have all the same shape language of that original design, but the silhouette has been made much more similar to the Clone Wars verions, being bulked-up and broadened with the torso actually shrunk in height a bit causing it to become effectively the greatest evolution in the design I've seen.

It might be a strange thing for me to gush about, but I genuinely see the Mandalorian B2s as the definitive design for that droid model, now, and I hope that's what they look like from here on out.

S-Tier:

• "Dawn Patrol" - Mandalorians emerging from morning mist, beskar catching first light
• "Night Watch" - Covert warriors in night fog, helmets reflecting blue moonlight

A-Tier:

• "Red Sands" - Group walking through Mandalore's dusty storms, visors gleaming
• "Last Stand" - Warriors in formation against an apocalyptic sky

Honestly torn between Dawn and Night versions. The way light hits beskar in each one hits different.

I know I had it saved somewhere but I can find it. Basically the same format as this except it's Cara eating the marshmallows, din telling her to do 20, and omera calling her a menace. TIA!

My dad showed me the original trilogy when I was like 5, so I grew up with that, but this show made me appreciate Star Wars, how it is living in this galaxy from the perspective of one man, and one who isn't an OP force user or necessarily important for the fate of the galaxy, but a great warrior in his own right, it's got me watching Star Wars again.

So I'm fairly new only watched in the last few months, watched Season 1 and 2 and really loved them then watched Boba Fett overall hit or miss for me, I think Jon Favreau structured it weirdly, but enjoyed it well enough, now I'm on Mando season 3 before starting the Ahsoka character show. But is there a reason why Boba wasn't in this season to help out like Din helped him out in his show? I kinda miss seeing him, I really like the character and actor even if his own show wasn't as good as Mando season 1-2. So pretty bummed.

So I am a writer and I frequently publish my stories on Wattpad (don't judge me)

Recently I've been really wanting to write a story about this series but the only problem is I have never seen anything else Star Wars related, only the first few episodes of the Mandalorian

Is there anything massively important or necessary for me to have knowledge about within the Star Wars Universe that I won't learn about in the show?

I really don't want to watch all the Star Wars movies and the shows, the Mandalorian is the only one I have an interest in

I'm not asking you guys to sum up stuff for me, I'm happy to research, but I know the Star Wars Universe is absolutely massive so I want to focus on the stuff that will be very relevant

In episode 5 of the Book of Boba Fett, titled "Return of the Mandalorian", Mando presents the Darksaber to the Mandalorian smith lady—I don't know what her name is. She tells him that it was forged by Tarre Viszla, who was both Mandalorian and Jedi (timestamp 13:33). Pretty strange! Because...

Early on in the Mandalorian series we were told that the Mandalorians and the Jedi were never on good terms. Then later we're told that there were times when they more or less got along. Now we're told that there was actually once a Mandalorian who was a Jedi himself, namely this Tarre Viszla. Strange how the story about relations between the Jedi and the Mandalorians keeps changing. (And how does a Mandalorian get accepted as a Jedi apprentice?? )

But it gets stranger. A few minutes later in the same episode (timestamp 18:00), the following exchange takes place:

Smith lady: In order to master the ways of the Force, Jedi must forego all attachment.

Mando: That is the opposite of our Creed: loyalty and solidarity are the way.

Okay, so Mando disagrees completely with a core tenet of the Jedi order. He doesn't even express any understanding for it; he basically just says that from the Mandalorian perspective the requirement not to be attached to anything, is wrong. He's pretty much saying that one should be attached to one's clan or group. He basically favors an us-vs-them attitude over the Jedi aloofness.

Interestingly, he doesn't raise the logical question of how the aforementioned Tarre Viszla went through life having to abide by both the Jedi code and the Mandalorian Way. Or did he renounce the Way when he became a Jedi? These are obvious questions, and highly relevant to Mando personally because of Grogu, but the show skips over them.

Yet at the same time Mando wants to continue caring for Grogu, whom he has put in the care of the Jedi Luke Skywalker so that he can be trained as a Jedi. Seems pretty contradictory to me.

Anyway, personally I don't think the Jedi code and the Mandalorian Way can be reconciled. The Mandalorians carry a grudge against the world, and their code is basically military, and their attitude is vengeful. The Jedi on the other hand have no "our people got wronged" backstory to give them an us-vs-them attitude. Rather, they defend the Good regardless of who the goodies or the baddies are in terms of their history and background.

Edit: I watched episodes 6 and 7 (of The Book of Boba Fett) yesterday, and boy am I disappointed. A whole episode about Luke training Grogu, at the end of which Luke offers Grogu a choice between Yoda's (!!!)​ light saber or the Mandalorian chain mail, and the silly little critter goes with the latter, thus rejecting Jedi training and choosing to return to Mando. Seriously?? It's ironic that Mando himself spoke of loyalty in episode 5 (by which he clearly meant loyalty to his tribe, namely the Mandalorians), but when it comes to Grogu (whom, again in his own words, he has "returned to his [Grogu's] own kind [the Jedi]") such loyalty is apparently not important and it's fine for Grogu to abandon the Jedi because of some emotional attachment between him and Mando. In other words, loyalty matters if you're Mandalorian, otherwise it's okay to betray your tribe. (Oh, and why does the actual moment of Grogu's decision get skipped over? In episode 7 we just see him arrive on Tatooine in an X-wing and are left to infer his choice. I guess a scene with Grogu disappointing Luke would have been too cringeworthy. Makes you wonder though: if a certain plot development is too embarrassing to film, why is it in the script?)

I’m not sure how this will go down as it’s my first time on this sub, but I read today that it’s 5 years since the show premiered.

The first season for me was pure class more than not and had a really great feeling of a space western opera. It felt really refreshing as a standalone entry to a somewhat saturated world.

The show in my opinion decreased in quality drastically the longer it went and further seasons undermined character growth and became a bit of a cameo fest that required viewing of hours of previous Filoni content to have any context and enjoyment of the show.

I’m wondering going forward if there is a way for the show to go back to what made it enjoyable and quality or if it’s likely to keep dogmatically going down the path of building a Filoniverse, which has made it far less appealing to casual fans and less well received critically.
