I just finished the episode. Oh my GOD. I saw the gloved hand and freaked out. I had my suspicions, but never imagined they could redo faces like THAT.

People are complaining about the de-aging? I thought Luke looked great personally. There wasn't much "uncanny valley" that I could notice.

The episode was fantastic and the series as a whole is one of the best things to happen to the franchise in a long time.

I do wonder why they made sure to keep Moff Gideon alive though. I love his character but what can they even use him for? Didn't they just want the darksaber? I guess the writers just really want to use his character again later.
This. I thought it looked awesome.

That's not really a "shot" at Rey considering she was trained by Leia.
Have you seen TFA and TLJ? Rey goes from thinking the Force was a myth to beating Kylo in less than a day and pulls off one the most impressive telekinetic feats in the entire franchise at the end of TLJ with zero training.

That still doesn't make those scenes you pointed out as them taking shots at her. And yes, I've seen both films.

So are they gonna make Din the leader of the Mandalorians? It seems like they're setting it up somehow. Like he'll unite the clans almost by living up to the ideal Mandalorian.

I thought it was pretty good. Im not thrilled that going forward we are going to lose the Din/Child dynamic that basically carried the show for two seasons, but Im willing to wait and see where they try to take the show going forward.

Some things I really liked: the Dark Trooper/Din fight in the hallway was great, as was the fight between Din and Gideon.

The Luke reveal was well done, and as much as Ive complained about tying the show too much with the main series it was cool as hell to see Luke in action during his prime.

Din taking off his helmet to say goodbye to Grogu was a wonderfully poignant callback to Vaders death, with both father figures wanting to look at their sons (adopted in Grogus case) face to face, eye to eye before they said farewell.

Not gonna lie, I teared up just a bit. Rumors leaked out earlier in the year about Luke returning, and when all of those Dark Troopers were pounding to get in, we all knew what was going to happen. The ending was very touching between the child and Mando.

It's supposed to continue. I read late December 2021. There are still some things that they left open.

There are also supposed to be like 10 more Star Wars based series coming out.

We still don't know for sure what Gideon needed from Grogu (I'm assuming Gideon is trying to harness his Force energy or something), so I'm assuming there will be a Season 3.

Isn't it implied that them harvesting Grogu's blood is the "somehow" in "Somehow...Palatine returned"

he does say "...new order" so i'm guessing his actions with Grogu are precedents for the New Order?

i dont know the timeline that well but its kinda betwen the end of the empire and the birth of the new order, yea?

OMG. I was screaming when everything started happening. I couldn't believe it. Kept cycling all these names of Jedi and other people that might show up and kept saying "it's motherfucking LUKE. Wait, nah, that's not gonna be Luke. They're fucking with us"

And then he took the hood off.

Definitely intentional. It was basically Luke's version of Vader's scene.

The show strongly suggests theyll meet again so I very much doubt it

Theres literally another 10 or so years before Ben Solo turns on Luke. Plenty of time for Din to visit Grogu multiple times.

They literally already showed us. They directly show a Snoke in a vat, mention needing a donor for midichlorians, and Moff says he got what he needed (Grogus blood). Theyre using his blood to clone Palpatine.

Given how Filoni has spoken of the prequels and his own personal views and philosophy towards the franchise, I could see him liking how TLJ approached Luke and his relationship with the Jedi even if he may have personally had other ideas on how things should've gone.
