Mandalorian Season 3

So, I went back to try & find the 'official' word on the matter, cause I remember reading about it...

Brooks Property Propulsion were the manufacturer of the booster/thruster rockets installed on all R-series Astromechs. They allowed short flights of varying heights & distances. After the Clone Wars, Brooks Propulsion were driven to bankrupty by the Galactic Empire, so as the droids either went out of warranty or just had malfunctioning rockets, there were no existing services to have them repaired.
NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
May as well double down...

It was named Brooks Propulsion because the artist that animated R2's fight in AOTC was named Billy Brooks.

I would venture a guess that astromech droids working in or around space would be equipped with anti-grav boosters.We all know R2 has them because he is the most famous astromech although not limiting the possibility of other lesser know astromech‘s to possess boosters as well.
 
Why did he need a droid that can go spelunking anyway? Did he think the mines were entirely flooded? He’s the one going to the water, what does it matter if the droid could?
 
The whole necessity of the droid is weird. It’s odd they “tried” to reintroduce IG-11, only to reintroduce an Easter egg, R5-D4, who is effectively useless. If they were tying to indicate Mando’s growth as a person, it’s nice that he is super into droids, but has the guy never heard of an air quality test? Hell, all I have to do is look at my weather app and it tells me how much it sucks outside.

And has no one, not a single person, no Mandos, no Imperials, no extreme adventurers, NO ONE has explored this place? No one’s noticed the apparent massive amount of indigenous life forms that still live there? Plus the shell headed guy from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest? Everyone and everything seems to be doing pretty good.

Looking back through the last few pages, I’m glad to not be the only person to not enjoy Pelli. She is pretty much a huge piece of crap. She’s also like a human Jawa. She does already date them…It’s just weird. She is a terrible person and it’s supposed to be funny I guess.

Overall, I’m not sure how to feel about this season. The Mythosaur is super cool. I think it’s cool. My wife thinks it’s cool. But the series has already shown us huge creatures, AND Bad Batch has their own huge creatures lately too! Bring back the space slug next please? My wife is usually pretty talkative, but she hasn’t had anything to say about this season. It just feels kind of forced. She also had no recollection of Grogu rejoining Din or that Mando was even IN the Book of Boba Fett. Just not feeling it all lately.
 
The highlight of the last episode for me was Bo-katan fighting the cyborg droid with the darksaber. I do agree that the series seems to be struggling to find its footing this season.

I think there is little room for information of Mandalore to get out to the Mandalore people and to propagate. I’m sure it’s not a popular idea for Mandalorians, who seem to be hunted by Imperials most of the time, to go back to the #1 place Imperials would look for Mandalorians.

It looks like their groups get wiped off the map frequently, think of all the helmets the Armorer was melting down on Nevarro.

Also current Mandalorians might not be as well off as Din, he is pretty much the richest one we’ve seen besides royalty and Armorer. We don’t know that others wear Beskar besides their helmets and Din is covered in it, making it kinda safe to assume that others might not have spacecraft with hyperdrives capable of reaching Mandalore. Those who reach it could die before word gets out from the various hazards, shoot Din wouldnt have even made it except Bo was in the neighborhood so to speak.

All that and Imperials might also patrol Mandalore to keep Mandalorians from recolonizing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Din and Bo run into some Imperial trouble on their way out.

Someone did explore the place. Remember the piece of fused glass Din gave The Armorer?

I got the impression that anyone who might have visited would have found absolutely nothing of value or interest. A literal wasteland after the Empire’s bombing campaign. Nothing left that was worth stealing or salvaging.

And somehow they didn’t encounter the warriors or fauna that is literally over running the place.

And no sign of these either:

Double post, but it does make me wonder why the Mandalorians let that weird warrior species live on their planet? It seems like they would have been eradicated well before now.

Especially when they were pacifist, it had to be dangerous to even venture out of their huge dome cities knowing those things were out there. Doesn’t seem very The Way to let them just hang out.

"This is the way"

How do you have babies? Do you seriously have sex with helmets on?

What the hell do the rest of you do for a living in "This Way"

If you have a head injury that needs attention do you just die if you don't have a droid around but ten other Mando's, or a civilian nurse, or doctor are standing there????? Not a good way!

How do you even know who you are dealing with if they never take off their helmets?

You never take your helmets off around other people. This is just dumb!!!!! Relationships would be a challenge. No couples, marriages?????

My thought was they were doing away with this at the end of Season 2 and thank God. Well BOBF shot that to hell.

So the goal of this season is to get back to wear he started?? He is going to raise Groku and never let him see his face again??

Lost all faith in this show.

Eh, maybe. It’s a much simpler explanation that R2’s boosters were a mod, rather the Rebellion was full of malfunctioning rocket boosters lol
I've long thought that R2-units (and other similar astromechs) were sort of like a Swiss Army Knife, but with lots of available attachments with which they could be fitted depending on what sort of work they did. I presumed that Artoo's rocket boosters might have been swapped out for something else at some point.
