Shout out to Carl Weathers who directed this episode. He also directed Season 2, Episode 4 where "The Mandalorian rejoined old allies for a new mission." Apparently that's his lane cuz that's what happened this week.
Paz Vizla's son thought he had the drop on Grogu. Thought he was gon stunt on lil Mando Jr.
Like father like son.
We've seen how Grogu and Din are mirror characters. In season 1, Din has the Armorer forge his new armor and he tells her to save some of the beskar for the foundings because he too was a foundling. In that scene, as she's hammering his armor at the forge, we get flashbacks to his origin, as he and his people come under attack. We see the same thing play out for Grogu with
@ORDER_66. And who should save little Grogu? None other than Jar Jar Binks in the flesh. Ahmed Best.
When Grogu got his little chest plate.
shyt looked like he was rocking a spreewell spinner.
The Mando mission to rescue Paz Vizla's lil bully foundling (I love how the episode titles always refer to multiple things / characters) son reminded me of the Primal episode "Terror Under the Blood Moon" with Game of Thrones-esque Wall scaling.
I was hoping that raptor would have survived because of her babies but
The Armorer thought Mandalore was cursed. She thought Bo-Katan seeing the Mythosaur was a vision. It won't be long before she's relegated to forging armor and nothing else.
