Still one of the dumbest and laziest complaints Ive ever seen for a movie. It reeks of I need something to complain about. Thisll do. Ill just ignore the context to look like a genius

I feel like if they actually tied it to the "Darth Plagues The Wise" stuff people would be more accepting of his return

and btw, just a thought here but wouldnt have been safer and wiser to leave the colonies in Navarro first and only take them to Mandalore after they deemed it safe instead of just leaving them in the planet's orbit?

Which context? You mean the context where ultimately killing Palpatine and destroying the Sith was one of the cornerstones of anakin/vader's entire arc, and having Palpatine survive/return completely undermines it?

The context where the narrative crux behind the sequel trilogy's big bad is touched on so little in the actual movies that they've now needed multiple seasons of multiple television shows to explain it away?

The fact that the line and it's delivery are so lame and hamfisted that it deserves all the mocking it gets from a scriptwriting perspective alone?

There's plenty of contextually pertinent reasons to make fun of it.

And it's not even all Disney's fault. It was lame in the EU comics when they did the same thing, too. Twice.

Yes. It would be safer.

And also wouldn't leave Nevarro completely defenseless (wasn't the point of them being there to also provide defense? Oh well, they'll probably be fine).

Honestly don't know why but as the Armorer was breaking atmosphere to get back up to the cruiser, I expected to see it lit up in a space battle.

Guess that's for the finale?

The main takeaway I have about Mandalorians is that they are excellent fighters, with great tech and are also just kinda inept at things that aren't fighting.

And they almost inevitably get beat up by random animals.

I have to say, it is a major buzzkill to be constantly reminded that everything happening in this series is building up to the sequel trilogy. "Somehow, Palpatine returned" is the big payoff.

Like, none of this matters at all, because it all ends with the first order wiping out everything, and being saved by Rey Palpatine's shitty story arc.

I love the show but I can't disagree with this

This is exactly how me and my buddies feel about it as well

The end of the episode was cool but it would've been better if we didn't already know that the endgame of it was the God awful sequel trilogy

Did they say in the sequels that the Mandalorians we're gone again? I've honestly only watched the first movie really. The other two werent good so id check out and browse my phone as my gf watched em

They're never mentioned, I think I remember seeing someone say once that there's Mandalorian ships in the climax of episode 9 but idk they could've been BSing

However, the entire sequel trilogy happens over the span of a single year (or less) since Rey is 19 when it starts and 20 when it ends so technically Disney could go in several different directions with their fate... who knows if they were wiped out, went into hiding, were assimilated into the First Order or pulled a Switzerland and just didn't care to get involved

That was my biggest problem.

Din: "Let's save Navarro, we'll have a home again, we'll be accepted and respected, our children will be able to play in the sun."

Everyone else: "That's a great idea! Let's retake Mandalor right this instant instead."

Like, the whole reason they agreed to help was to have an actual place to live where they didn't have to hide. Then literally within minutes of success they're trying to abandon it. They weren't exactly in a hurry to reclaim the planet before that, they wanted to take time to reunite all the mandalorians they could find first and establish an army.

I suppose it could be the work of the spy though. They did wipe out the pirates who were working with Gideon. So maybe they were pushed to hurry so Gideon would still have the advantage... But it just felt dumb to immediately decide to abandon the home you were just given.

I think wanting to retake Mandalore ASAP made sense. They didn't know it was still breathable till just a bit ago, then they quickly assembled and went for it.

Regardless, the Armorer leaving and then her approach to the rest of the fleet seemed super suspicious. Like one of those "letting the guard down for a friendly and then a battalion of TIEs attack" moments. At this point, she has to be the spy.

Also, I think the Palpatine stuff is fine tbh. It was one of the bigger post-RotJ things in the EU.

Guys what should we name our super secret project to revive the emperor?

Project Necromancer? That's brilliant. They'll think it's so obvious that it has to be something else.

They were still just chilling in a cave doing nothing about it. It wasn't until they agreed to live on Nevarro that they suddenly changed their mind. Obviously they had plans to retake it eventually, but it was a sudden bafflingly timed decision to do it at that moment.

It would've made just as much sense for them to establish a base first, then send the main cast to find the forge. Which would've led to same outcome. If the Armorer and Bo's group wanted to go scout the planet themselves to find the forge and living waters, etc. There was no reason at all to bring everyone at once just because the air isn't deadly. It's still made of glass, and full of monsters... Which they don't exactly have a good record at surviving. The cities are destroyed and there was some kind of eyeball robot creature that nearly took out Din. It's still a very dangerous place, and they didn't even know where anything was. But sure, instead of having a nearby safe haven just bring everybody on over.

I know how this season is gonna end. Hear me out.

Grogu vs. Gideon

Gideon KOs Grogu with a single blast

Gideon chuckles and approachces a "dead" Grogu

Gideon is suspicious

Grogu kicks Gideon's blaster out of his hands.

Grogu reveals the beskar chest plate and swings it at Gideon

Grogu lands more punches to Gideon.

Gideon falls on some manure and is arrested for good this time.

Nah. Gideon will kill several Jedi who are defending Grogu.

Grogu looks down at their bodies then backflips into IG-12.

Grogu uses the Force to gather the lightsabers of all of fallen Jedi.

Duel wielding several lightsabers, Grogu grievously injures Moff Gideon.

That's assuming they had competent people helming the sequel trilogy.

That was just a nothing episode. Set up, starting quests, etc. Terrible episode but this was on a whole different level.

"Gideon was on Mandalore the whole time" explains shit back to S1.

Should have added a line break or something. I'm not saying this episode is a 'nothing' episode. It's just a much worse episode than the first of the season.

Edit: I suppose it could've been Jack Black's character that offered to recognize Mandalore again that pushed them. But it just felt odd that they agreed to settle Nevarro just to skip out immediately for no actual given reason.

Wait, I might have missed this, but when did they say that everybody came? I thought they were taking volunteers and a lot volunteered. But I don't remember them taking everybody. I think there were still people left on Navarro like the children.

Also, this could simply all have to do with some ulterior motives from the Armorer. So you're right, it's a bit suspicious so fast, but it also makes sense.

The rest where all in their ships in orbit around the planet.

The volunteers were for the group to land and look for the forge. Literally all of them went to Mandalore to live there. They were just waiting in other ships for the ok to land. They were on Nevarro for like 5 minutes. Which is what I find so stupid about it.

My only guess is so they can have a place to fall back on when things go south next week... But they spent so much time building it up as an important step for them just to throw it away as soon as they get it. lol

Edit: Gideon sent his ships out to attack the ones still waiting. Claiming he'd finally finish purging all the Mandalorians(so he knows they're all there too). That's also where the Armorer went, to supposedly warn them of the attack, which also just works as an INCREDIBLY convenient reason for her to leave just as the ambush occurs.

Set up your primary base in the one place no one will think to look for you.
