Mandalorian Season 3

So, Peli is no longer a tough-talking, brutally honest mechanic, but rather a full-on thief and a fraudster?

Was that scene supposed to endear her to us?

I love Amy Sedaris, but her talents are being completely wasted on this character.

Also, being “built for adventure” does not make an astromech any better for spleunking. A droid that rolls (and with no booster jets like Artoo) being brought to reconnoiter a bombed-out city that is nothing but huge gaps and jagged rubble?

Din is not an idiot. Was the point that he bought the droid out of pity because he could tell Peli was desperate?

I did love seeing R5 get a chance to shine, all the same.

Spoiler question below:

Since Bo and Din have now BOTH been submerged in the Living Waters of Mandalore, are they now BOTH redeemed?

I don’t think “princess” Bo thinks of herself as needing redeemed,after all she is royalty and therefore is entitled to rule as her family once did. I enjoyed the “chemistry” between Bo and Din.Also it was interesting to see how a jet pack works underwater.Not sure what to make of the vampire cyborg.

I do wonder just how Mando planned to transport IG-11 to Mandalore. R5 in the reinstalled droid socket is convenient although that third engine makes it impossible unless he can somehow compress his “shoulders” in and pop out the top? They really fudged a lot of that to make it work, which LFL seems pretty fond of these days.

If they thought about that at all (which is in no way certain), I will bet you a blue milk that the plan was to - literally - strap him onto the outside of the N-1 and play it for a gag.

I know what you’re thinking:

“But was he even built to withstand the vacuu-”
and
“What about planetary re-entry? He has no heat shie-“

Shhhhh. We all already know that Favs doesn’t care about the internal logic of his storytelling if it gets in the way of a cool story beat or a joke.

I thought that the cyborg was . . . interesting. Did anybody else get Lost in Space Robot vibes in the way it sounded and looked?

A couple of other things that this episode had me wondering about was:

1) What capabilities do Mandalorian helmets have? Because they certainly don't have any sort of light amplification or night vision capability because we see both Din & Bo use flashlights to see in the dark. You'd think that some sort of night vision capability would be something that they'd build into these helmets, particularly considering how darkly tinted their visors are. Not to mention how tactically unsound it is to run around the dark with a flashlight that announces your presence to any opponents that may be around. In the dark, a flashlight is going to be seen by someone from much farther away than you'd be able to see with it.

2) If Mandalorian helmets can seal and pressurize, how do they breathe? They don't seem to carry air tanks with them and even if their jetpacks also double as O2 tanks, there are no hoses that connect them to their helmets. And with that pressurizing capability, why does Din need a droid to check the atmosphere for him? Can't he just go in sealed on the assumption that the atmosphere is poisonous? For that matter, why doesn't his N1 have the capability to analyze an atmosphere or why does Din not just get a hold of some sort of handheld atmospheric analyzer type device, a Star Trek equivalent to a tricorder? Sure that sort of tech must exist in the Star Wars universe.

With the cyborg having beaten Din Djarin and then Bo-Katan Kryze having beaten the cyborg.... Why does Din and Bo-Katan not think that Bo-Katan deserves the right to the darksaber now?

The real reason is of course: because it isn't Jon Favreau's plan ... but still. It that irritates me.

Wasn't taken in battle. Picked up on the ground doesn't count.

She clearly knows how to use it better than he does. Not because of what happened on his end in the episode - he was clearly surprised buy the insta-grab and Bo was warned ahead of time.

She also has, relatively speaking, far more experience in wielding it than Din.
 
I love Baby Yoda. I have two life sizes, and lots of other merch.

Since they would not leave him with Luke like they should have,....


.....he needs to die. (y)

If you look closely you'll notice it's design is based off General Grievous. The spines coming off it's back and the voice give it that Lost in Space vibe though.

Didn't he have infrared vision or something in season one when he was tracking the footsteps of Cara Dune in Season 1?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

I say that it counts. Din was taken out like a punk, and had the saber taken away from him.

Bo took it from the guy who did it, and whipped his butt with the lightsaber

Din lost it like an imbecile, Bo took it from its new owner in combat, it is hers now!
 
I liked the episode. I didn't like the robots in the mine. They were too Transformers for SW and there was zero explanation for why they were there or what they were doing. I also thought the image R5 displayed didn't look like SW. They should have gave it more of a hologram glow or something. I'm also still not digging the heavy Darksaber thing. It's just ridiculous. And yes I know initially Lucas wanted lightsabers to behave like that.

I didn't feel that the cyborg in the mine needed any explaining, not everything needs explaining. It was just a plot device meant to put Din in peril, nothing more. But don't worry, I'm sure that more about it will be revealed down the line in secondary media. At the very least it will make it into a Visual Guide to the Mandalorian if one ever gets published.

As for the Darksaber, its being heavy was explained in BoBF and it boils down to Din not knowing how to wield it properly. The armorer Mando tries to explain how to use it properly and that if you do, it won't be so heavy, but Din never does and still hasn't. Note how it didn't seem particularly heavy for Bo. It was because she was worthy/knew how to use it properly.
 
Anyone else feel that Tatooine scene originally followed the Nevarro one, and only after that Mando visits Bo Katan? Seems like the logical course for me: Nevarro - Tatooine - The Mandalorian System (Bo and the Mines). They probably rearranged the scenes to suit the run time.
