Mandalorian Season 3

If by "canon explanation" you mean - retconned plot hole cover up then you're probably right:lol:

If you think this is the beginning of retconned plot hole cover ups in Star Wars... remember Leia and Luke kissing? Vader killed and murdered your father? Its been a part of Star Wars since the beginning. Silly dumb stuff like this episode fits right in.
 
Lest we forget, 2 episodes before this, a couple of Mandalorians swam (well... one of them fell) to the bottom of an indoor lake, and when they got back to shore, neither of them were dripping wet.

Clearly the Mandos have some crazy effective Dri-Fit technology on their armored suits.

makes me wonder if they can't get the floor of the Volume wet for some technical reason.

I've been a Star Wars fan since day one and retcon canon has been as ubiquitous as electrical tape and continuity errors.
 
"One does not speak unless one knows." Sound advice
I would like to offer the stoic heavy cannon wielding Mando a related morsel of wisdom….

“That which can be destroyed by truth should be destroyed by truth.” ;)

The truth is, the latest episode of Mando was pretty bad, from a storytelling POV. I’m not sure what we accomplished, here.

Remember, these are dragon raptors from another galaxy far far away.

They don’t act like the dragon raptors on our planet do.

Yes they apparently have dry storage bags in their guts to hold their prey….like a kayaker here on Earth. ;)

This is a minor thing, but there is still repetitive/unnecessary dialogue that shouldn't even be making it to the final script draft, much less through editing.

Bo gets back from chasing the critter and says she's found the nest.
Next scene in the cockpit when she's calling up a holo map: she says she identified the location of the nest. Yeah, you told us that already.

They plan the rescue and someone says they can't use jet packs because of the noise.
A couple scenes later they land and start walking, and Bo says they can't use jet packs because of the noise. Not only was that already stated, but even if it hadn't, this wouldn't be the time anyone would say such a thing, because you don't say we walk from here if you're already walking from here. It's a writer's cheat to have a character say something that they really would have said earlier because the audience needs the info----sometimes you get in a corner and can't avoid it, but they sure could've here.

The Simpsons made a "this for the writers in the audience" joke like that once: there was a cut from one situation to another completely new one that had not been established at all prior, so Homer says something like "I'm glad we all decided to drop everything and head to the park", when they're already in the car and driving there. Bart says "what an odd thing to say." :lol:
 
Not a huge amount to say about this episode, though I feel like it was a missed opportunity to have Grogu and Ahmed Best's Jedi run into Jar Jar, with hilarious consequences...
Maybe it was Jar Jars ship, since Amidala should have been on Mustafar at this point,
 
What do you want to bet we’ll get another series with him and Grogu during the early days of the fall of the Republic. It will end with him putting him in suspended animation.
 
OK, the kid getting spit back up completely safe and dry and not as regurgitated mush, after all that time, was a bit ridiculous. As was those three hatchlings fitting in Bo's ship with room to spare.

But honestly, this is the first "short" episode in a while that felt "tight" vs. "thin."

And I liked the idea that the CotW hold so true to their creed, that they made sure they took care of the raptor "foundlings," too.
 
Nice easter eggs in this latest episode for those of us who have built a studio-scale training remote:

Because we don’t actually know anything about the anatomy of the flying creature, we don’t actually know if the kid was in the stomach or in an inner pouch where the creature stores food to eat later for rationing or something. Like how squirrels keep nuts in their mouths for temporary storage.

Also, it’s not unusual for a wild creature to provide live food to it’s young so they can learn how to fight and kill instead of being fed dead food.
