I like that Fennec's thing about hiring mercenaries "if you know where to look" so far means having Din just fall in their laps.

I think the construction montage implies that Mando has been on Tatooine for a couple of days at least and Fennec probably heard through her sources that Mando was in town before she even brought it up to Fett in the last episode.

Episode owned, I still don’t think Armorer lady is bad, she probably can guess that Din took his helmet off for a good reason. But it gives her a good excuse to send Din to the Mines of Moria Mandalore for next season’s plot. I don’t even think Heavy Weapons Mando guy is bad either, he just genuinely thought he was worthy of the Darksaber. Season 3 is gonna own so much.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this all wraps up. I have faith the final few episodes with Boba will own, Filoni hasn’t let us down overall yet. I still really like this spinoff, warts and all.

That was my take too. She’s a massively fundamentalist cult leader, and the guy standing in front of her is holding the most important relic in her cult, and the way he got it follows a prophecy he didn’t even know about.

So of course she needs to send him to the holiest place in her religion, right to the very heart of the planet they claim as their own, it’s probably writ right in the prophecy that The Mandalorian goes to the mines to atone for his sins, and she knew what his answer would be before she even asked about his helmet.

Whatever delivers Din to them is all good in my books. Even without this episode, you can imagine a joke at the end of last episode like

"You can find mercenaries if you know where to look." :smug:
"You mean Mos Eisley? The place full of mercenaries?"
"...yes."

Yeah, it was a weird thing to ask in that moment if she didn't already suspect something. Like maybe you would want to test the purity of each Mandalorian in a duel, sure, but you do it before the fight and not after if it has anything to do with disqualifying one of the duelists.

I laughed when the scenes jumped from Din being banished for not taking Mando School seriously enough, to him boarding a commercial airliner and relinquishing his Fated Dark Sword of Destiny to a TSA robot. Its like brother you better hope she doesnt find out about this too!!!

I loved how the 'cryogenic density combustion booster' the Jawas give them is basically that big metal pole Han tries to brace the walls with when they're stuck in the garbage compactor in the first film (although the Mando one is considerably shorter).

They took it from a Pyke ship. It's going to be funny if that comes back in finale. (The Pykes return to their ship to blow Boba and the gang away, but the ship explodes instead)

I’m just quietly sad that Paul Sun-Hyung Lee getting cast as Iroh in Netflix Avatar means we’ve probably seen the last of Mr. Kim, X-Wing Cop as of this episode :(

Pretty sure they can find a way to get him back for a day or so to film if they wanted to. The way they film these and the fact he has a pretty small role means what, a couple of days they need him to film? Maybe just one? I doubt his scene in this episode took more than a day of time for him, and was mostly him just getting into costume, learning a few lines and sitting in an X-wing cockpit for long enough to get the shot. They didn't even need Mando there to do it. And they can do it whenever, they finish most of the series before they release it so filming an episode 5 bit with him when they're filming episode 2 or whatever is very doable.

I hope they do, he gives a bit of personality to the whole thing. Makes the universe seem more lived in, like of course this random bounty hunter who operates in the grey area of the law around one planet/sector of the galaxy keeps running into the same federal cop.

TROOPS was the original Star Wars cops parody. A successor series called IMPS came out and it was more like a docudrama set on an aircraft carrier. Apparently they're still making another episode. I wonder if Peter Cullen will still do the narration.

Mando is who we want Boba Fett to be more like and I think that's why more people like him.

But Boba Fett doesn't want to be THAT GUY anymore because to do so means he's going to just keep on working for idiots that'll eventually get him killed.

To that end I don't think even Mando really wants to be that guy anymore because he's starting to realize what Boba already knows.

It took me a while to accept that Boba wasn't even in this episode, but drat that kicked rear end. Definitely rewatching this one sooner than later.

Also goes to show how much better the writing is on Mando. We had as much plot and character development in that one episode as we had in the previous four episodes of Boba Fett.

Is the Ahsoka show going to happen before Mando season 3? Maybe Mando goes and recruits her to accompany him to the mines of Mandalore. This would maybe allow her to atone for what she did on her last visit in some way? It might also be cool to see Din get some lightsaber advice from a former Jedi…
