Has anyone else watched episode 1 yet?

I'm guessing this season ends with Din learning stuff about the Mandalorian culture that causes him to abandon its ways. Feels like we've been gradually building up to it over the course of the show.

also Grogu and the Anzellans together was too much cuteness for a Star Wars show

Yeah, I think I'd agree that it was the weakest first episode so far, but I do like the groundwork they're laying.

Yeah I definitely agree that this was the weakest of the three premieres. However, it was still enjoyable just all over the place. It crammed a huge amount in and none of it had any time to breathe, while most episodes focus on a singular central storyline. The good news is people who have seen episode 2 say thats where it really kicks off.

Premiere was fine dont really get the stuff around rebuilding IG-11. I mean I get what that droid means to Din and all, but the babu frik man said 11s memory thing was destroyed and Din is off to find a new one but without its memory, 11 is just another random droid?

That was surprisingly uneventful

Starts off just reiterating the events of Boba again about the mines, kinda awkward that needs repeating but Grogu coming back is just like yeah that happened even though it's the more jarring factoid coming from the s2 finale.

But yeah whatever. Nevarro then took it's time, I lol'd how after the confrontation with the pirates that Greef asks the "so what were you here for then?" question. Pirates were surprisingly comedic and then wait what the it's the Pirates of the Caribbean squid leading the pirates and oh wait we zooming away from this.

Then well, Bo-Katan still grumpy now alone.

I watched the first episode the night it was released and the things I remember are:

UNMARKED SPOILERS!
-What I initially thought was a flashback was in fact present day
-Mandalorians suck at killing an alien alligator
-Dialog!
-Asteroid dogfight
-Mando suddenly cares about a droid he had maybe two minutes of interaction with? Why tho?
-Dialog!
-Oh and Bo-Katan was around being menacing for reasons

At least the special effects looked pretty good. If only there was some substance to it.

I already hated them putting Grogu and Mando back together. Why does this show need to undo everything?

lol, he made that big fuss about IG-11 then just gave up and took the other droid.

Though I got to admit, droids with feelings and baby yoda on this show....they always make you smile.

Loved the episode but was surprised when the credits started rolling. It went by fast!

Mando losing to that creature and Bo Katan beating the creature means that Bo is probably the proper wielder of the Darksaber now, right? kind of a weird way for it to happen but that's interesting

I think you still have to best whoever holds the dark saber in one-on-one combat.

The entire episode is basically cynical pragmatism vs. nave idealism.

I don't think a formal challenge is required since Mando simply defeated Moff Gideon and he could lay claim to it.

I think you just have to best a dark saber wielder in combat.

So yeah, I keep watching this season and all I think is man I wish they didn't put Grogu and Mando back together. Especially with this stuff they're doing with Bo Katan, it's infinitely more interesting than Grogu's plot.

I think it might be some of both - she has definitely been broken down, what with her group bailing, her home being blown up and having apparently seen a myth. On the other hand, just going along with things and not rocking the boat seems like it is paying off for her so far, and her goals might be aligned with them anyway (aside from maybe who is on the throne in the end). She definitely seems like she's on a different level from anyone other than maybe Mando and the Armorer.

Eh, I think it's a true "Spiritual Awakening" but I do think she will eventually make some sort of play for the Darksaber that causes her to break the creed.

Old habits and all that.

Best episode this season by a comfortable distance. Even though its not getting into the nitty gritty of the politics as much as Andor I do really enjoy how they are showing why the New Republic fell. It is helping improve on what the sequels were setting up but didnt flesh out.

how is Bo-Katan going to unite them without the sword though. Like, didn't she try but failed. What's changed? A small cultish covert has her back now? even though she removed her helmet but that's okay or something. I guess I'm just confused, maybe someone can explain. And the forger definitely has some kind of plan up her sleeves.

Why/what's the motivation? Wouldn't she still hate him more than anything? Also, does that mean the Tie fighter attack + them blowing up her castle was all part of a ruse? A ruse contingent on Din Djarin witnessing it, coincidentally right after she rescued him from Mandalore? Would that elaborate a ruse really be necessary?

I know the rules of tv mean that whoever's working w/ Gideon is a Mandalorian we've already met but I really don't think it'd be Bo Kattan, and would also like to think not the Mandalorian covert which as this episode noted, lost a lot of their comrades via Gideon's purges...?

Ideally, in lieu of a Mandalorian we haven't met yet, how about Bo Kattan's allies from those two episodes last season (Sasha Banks!!! and uh, some guy), I don't remember the S2 finale but I think they both survived and I don't think this season addressed what happened with them? Could Gideon have made one or both of them an offer they couldn't refuse after they captured him & before he was handed over, or something?

Well knowing the way these plots go sometimes, it'll be the big guy with the big gun who's behind it...

If it's someone we know, Bo Katan, the forger, or the big guy with the machine gun would be the only 3 suspects since they are the only 3 that have any kind of identity. And forger and big guy are kind of a packaged item in that regard. So it's either one or the other, or someone else we havent met yet.

This jailbreak was done before the events of this season. So motives may have changed between now and then. But if it had to be someone we know, my money is on the forger/big guy.

My current thought is that Gideon was busted out by his own troops, and the beskar was left behind as a red herring to falsely implicate the Mandalorians.
