Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.

To be fair, there has been a running theory that it was in fact Boba Fett that executed Owen and Beru (hence Vader's "No disintegrations!" line in Empire), but that one is kind of iffy on me.

I like how the Stormtrooper on the far right has that "I really gotta take a shower when I get back to the Death Star. " expression going on as the execution is going on.

Boba was on Tatooine at the time

I think I figured out who took Grogu from the Jedi temple.

It was

Spoiler

Maul. Moff Gideon showed Grogu the Darksaber asking "remember this". The only way Grogu would of seen the Darksaber if we're going off the timeline is Maul had it kept away during Order 66. We know Maul was able to escape in the series finale of The Clone Wars, but do not know where he went. It could be logical that he went to Crouasant to go look for Palpatine and headed to the Jedi temple and found Grogu hiding and took him in thinking he could train Grogu the ways of the dark side to seek vengeance on Palpatine. It would explain how and why Grogu knows how to use Sith powers and know of the Darksaber. I do not think it was after Sabine getting it.

I took "remember this" to refer to 'saber weapons in general, not specifically the Darksaber

Why can’t grogu talk. He can use the force so he ain’t no baby

I been waiting on him to speak backwards the entire series

 

[O.Red]

My loose reasoning is

1. He just can't speak English. This is unlikely because everybody in sci fi speaks English so

2. We don't know the growth rate of them Yoda nikkas. He might be the way he is for another 100 years for all we know

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Most of them don't. Beskar is very rare, and Jango wasn't into any of the Mandalorian shyt by the time we meet him in Episode II. The government of Mandalore also disavowed him in the Clone Wars cartoon.



This x100. Favreau deserves credit for advancing Lucas' technological innovations and probably having enough weight on him to not get bossed around by Kathleen. The story/lore is all Filoni. This is obvious in the GALLERY documentary on D+. Whenever he starts talking about the lore of the Lucas films everyone else, including Favreau, shut up and go

George Lucas is the Star Wars God, Filoni is the chosen one bring balance back to the franchise.



If you watch this on D+ you can see Favreau and the others, including Kathleen Kennedy just . This video even explains exactly why Ahsoka refused to train Grogu in the last episode. She didn't have that Qui-Gon in her just like Obi-Wan didn't in the prequels. And it basically explains what Filoni/Favraeu are trying to recreate with this show.

You can hear the love in his voice... If I didn't know better, I'd think he was describing a goddamn 10 time oscar winning drama

I mean it’s not a drama but for all intents and purposes it has one 10 Oscars.

This is perfect not only because of the iconic vehicle parallels, but also because these are the 2 classic shows I would compare the Mandolorian to. People complaining about the fetch quest format of Mando couldn't have been fans of these shows. That's what they did every week. Help some little town with a bully problem out some small mission to get some semi important mccguffin. Then they would ramp up the story line the last few eps to involve the true overarching threat, usually in a 2 or 3 part arc. The action and the allure of the characters drivers the story and you just wanted to see what they did next, who they meet along the way, and how they'd get out of the latest jam. And I loved that shyt. This site, unlike any I've seen in years takes me back to just having fun tv that I could watch with any of my family. It's why it works so well.

Having watched it for a second time now, I take back what I said about sloppy writing - and will chalk it up to sloppy editing instead.

Writing was fine, from dialogue to the set-pieces. The editing is a bit questionable in how Mando is reacting to stuff. The shots of him trying to grab Grogu are too similar and it's unclear how long he waits to take certain actions (fight/pick up his jetpack) for me.
It's really only like 2/3 edits that are lacking a bit but for me it was uncharacteristically sloppy for this show, which is edited incredibly tight for the most parts.

Still a dope ass episode and excellent season. The Grogu/Boba stuff more than make up for these nitpicks.
