Great episode but Baby Yoda's real name being Grogu was almost as disappointing as seeing Mando's face in season 1

i have watch this episode twice and specifically watched the grogu name reveal scene a third time just to drill it into my head and i STILL have trouble remembering it, like he will always be baby yoda to me and "grogu" is a lame as fuck name, i legit have called him "grungo" and "groupon" in my head numerous times while trying to remember the real name

ps great episode great season grogu does not ruin it

could there possibly be any name reveal that isn't disappointing? I think doing it so casually here at least very much fit with the tone of the episode and the show as a whole. And tbh the "canon" name for baby yoda being "The Child" is similarly much lamer than the fan nickname so not much has changed on that front!

For that matter the face reveal also is very much the same way, these things are made more important by the context around them more than the actual event being a revelation

I think it's fine. Imagine if Yoda wasn't an established name and you heard it for the first time. It'd probably sound dumb too!

killing off snoke in episode 8 was the best thing the sequel trilogy did, simply because it made it so no one ever had to take a dude named "Snoke" seriously

Oh man. Super fast and short episode, but they are clearly setting up the last few.

Boba Fett, girl I barely remember from the worst episode of season 1, useless stormtroopers, Slave 1, Bill Burr...

Going to be another epic team up finale, isn't it.

Yeah I had to pause and look it up because I was like... "who?"

then I saw the episode it happened in and realized it had just faded from my memory because of how forgettable it was.

juxtapose that with Bill fucking Burr, the episode that I can probably recreate in my head beat by beat

I'm shocked how many seemingly one shot things from season 1 are coming back and mattering. That was probably the best episode, and I can't believe I'm saying that after last week's episode.

i wanna say that the thing i liked most about season 1 was that it made the star wars universe feel bigger by introducing so many new characters and places

and i wanna continue by saying i thought it was lame that every episode in 2 has brought someone back from season 1

but also this season kicks ass and all the characters are great so i cant REALLY complain at all

idgaf about Star Wars. If you tell me anything about Star Wars I'd be like "Oh, yeah. That was pretty cool I guess." I have no nostalgia for the series and had no interest in Mandalorian at all.

But they gave us Boba Fett? Surviving the Sarlac? The literal only thing I care about in Star Wars that I would go out of my way to watch is Boba Fett and they gave me Boba Fett so now I need to watch all of The Mandalorian now.

I've said it multiple times now across both seasons, but I'll tell you this - I kind of hate Star Wars. The only film I can say I enjoyed is Empire Strikes Back, and even then I think it's good but not great.

With all that said, this is by far the best Star Wars media outside of maybe something like KotoR. The best part is that a lot of the time it feels like it just stands on it's own and would be just as good without the Star Wars stuff. It's a really high end western feel with every episode kind of being it's own different genre while still maintaining that western vibe. I can't gush enough about this show.

You don't care about anything from Star Wars except for the most overrated character of all time? Lmao

This was the first cool or interesting thing the character has ever done!

Leonhart is right. It's all about the design. He looked freaking rad. The few things he ever did interested me more than most things in Star Wars. I liked him because he always seemed like he was just a cool ass character who should've always done more.

Also I was a fucking child when I watched the original movies the first time. I liked cool bounty hunter man.
