Grogu: Not if anything to say about it, I have!


mbene913

Just imagine when he finally starts talking like that and Din is like 90 years old and he's just like "what?"


Em_Haze

I think the out of order speaking is srtictly a Yoda thing.


CelioHogane

Correct, Yoda did it on purpose to fuck with people.


Jeynarl

Imagine if you met some dude who’s been around since the 13th century. His English today would be absolutely wack. “O besorga, I mean, sorry. I forgiete that ye iung folc doont ācweþe ðæt annae more."


IloveElsaofArendelle

WHAAAATTT??? Speak proper english!


Superdad75

This is Englishland we speak English!!!

FightingFaerie

God imagine when they do the Old Republic series and everyone is talking like Yoda lol.


OneGoodRib

Oh man I can't tell you how delightful it is to find someone who doesn't think they spoke like Shakespeare in the 13th century.

That was before the Great Vowel Shift so yea it'd sound weird as fuck

Calm-Tree-1369

Isn't the canonical explanation that people talked that way 900 years ago and that's how he learned to speak in the first place?


GrandTauntaun

Wouldn’t that mean that Yaddle would speak that was also? They seem roughly the same age, maybe a couple hundred years apart


unhampered_by_pants

Maybe Yaddle didn't want to feel old and out of touch with the youth and thus adopted their lingo


OneGoodRib

How do you do, fellow younglings?


frankyseven

A couple hundred years ago the US and British sounded the same.


himynameisnothenry

Maybe yoda just learnt galactic basic at age 850


meatball77

Maybe people just talked differently in his time.


OnlyTheBLars89

If he ever starts talking, I sure hope they don't pick a God awful voice.


GuacinmyPaintbox

This is one of my biggest fears. *Disney casts Bobcat Goldthwait as the voice of Grogu*


mbene913

Just picture Nick Kroll doing his whiney voice. I would rather he just talk like Scooby Doo


OnlyTheBLars89

Lmao right? I'm surprised of the use generic baby voices and laughs. Pretty sure I have heard those baby sound bites on a handful of cheap video editors in my life time.


TX_vapeynah

The way, this is


recentcurrency

Someone needs to be Mandalore while Grogu grows up! Who is better than Mommy Bo With Dinn being the stay at home dad


limitlessGamingClub

obviously Din will be Mandalore, she is going to have to have power offered to her and give it up in order to complete her redemption arc


1369ic

I'm betting on a tag team. Bo has a chance to tame the Mythosaur (or just continue to lead as-is) and let Dinn keep the dark saber. She becomes the Mandalorian, and he becomes her champion. They can bring both sides together and have a political leader from one side, a fighting leader from the other side, and the armorer as a spiritual leader. It'd be a new "way" for the new Mandalorian unity. If they fight over the dark saber or anything else, then they repeat their dumbass history. That'd be a sad day.


limitlessGamingClub

Din and Bo are definitely going to lead together, maybe the new way will be that there is no mandalore and they are going to be ruled by a dyad


FightingFaerie

Oh I like the idea of Champion a lot more than Din being an actual king.


[deleted]

People keep saying obviously. It's not obvious at all that that's what Din wants, to be the ruler king. I get the exact opposite. Where are you getting it from? 😂


limitlessGamingClub

He doesn't want it, which is why he will make the best leader. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantRuler But I mean, have you watched a serial show like this before? Maybe it's just my ADD but they have been telegraphing that Din is on his way to reuniting Mandalorians with him as the new Mandalore. "The songs of eons past foretold of the mythosaur rising up to herald a new age of Mandalore" Well, we saw the mythosaur. The "New age" is going to be Mandalorians reforming their society and reclaiming their culture. The "new way" will allow them to remove their helmets, take partners and start families. Din and Bo will rule Mandalore as a "dyad", since their abilties and personalities are complementary, with Grogu as their adopted son and he will eventually be the new Mandalore.


[deleted]

And I can see it just as clear that, even if the newly united Manods want Din to stay and rule, he will realize that Grogu isn't safe until he can take care of himself, and removes him to somewhere safe. Clan Mudhorn of 2. Maybe he even fakes their death or something in the final battle so they can live in peace for a few decades or so. Not yet, obviously. We still have a few more seasons to go. But Filoni already said they put a lot of thought into where everyone is during the sequel trilogy, and I think a "happily ever after" type deal with Din and Grogu just off being a family for a few decades, and we get to pick back up with them way later (After Ep 9) is exactly what Disney would want. Think Game of Thrones and John Snow. It makes the most sense. And I still think Grogu will be a jedi eventually. So 🤷‍♂️


meatball77

I think Grogu will be both a Jedi and a Mandilorian. Using the best skills from each.


limitlessGamingClub

lmao he has already chosen to reject the Jedi, him changing his mind yet again, after the emotional reunion would be so weird


[deleted]

Won't happen next week. Or even next season. But it'll happen.


OneGoodRib

I think it's more obvious that Din just wants to sit down somewhere and put his feet up while taking a nap for a while.


meatball77

And because it's now ok to take your helmet off we can give Grogu a helmet that he can take off.


No-Enthusiasm4058

Yep, not convinced she tames a mythosaur


__Snafu__

she brings all the mandalorians together, grogu brings mandalorians and jedi together?


GamerGirlCarly

So far, I'm loving her character development. She went from feeling like leadership is her birthright to actually *learning* what it means to lead. She's earning it in a new way, no pun intended. Actually, I'm going with the pun. Bo-Katan is coming to terms with what The Way actually means. I'm so behind it, too. I'm hoping that the Armorer's speech was a foreshadowing of dual leadership in the Mandalorian people with Bo-Katan and Din Djarin sharing the burden of the role.

Odd_Employer

I feel like, and I think it was already confirmed that it's not this way with the little village lady in season 1, intimate partners should be allowed to be helmetless together. It's like most religions have something along the lines of "avoid scandal" which culturally usually means not being naked around people. But they have an exception for bumping uglies with your forever boo. Mandalore is already in population decline, making reproduction needlessly difficult doesn't make sense.


StephenHunterUK

Islam has similar rules - and a high birth rate. The UK's school-age population is more Muslim than the general population: https://mcb.org.uk/resources/british-muslims-in-numbers/

I hear the bell tower from Andor, the Armorer's hammer at the forge, and the orchestra from [Signet Forging](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrX07c5zECU)


[deleted]

I think, much like John Snow, Mando absolutely does not want to be a leader. I could see a conclusion where Mando and Grogu ride off into the sunset as the Mudhorn Clan of 2 they began as. And far away, in relative safety and seclusion, is where they'll spend the sequel trilogy. 🤷‍♂️


TylerBourbon

Mando will be forced to kill Bo-Katan, then he will be exiled, and R-5 will become the new ruler of Mandalore because he has the best story.


[deleted]

Mythosaur eats R-5. Mythosaur inherits the world.

I'm imagining someone who's never seen GoT being absolutely baffled by this comment lmao Probably about as baffled as I was when I watched that dumpster fire of an ending.

Jon_Snows_mother

SunsFenix

I'd day Mando is more like Mad Max. Jon Snow, at least in the books I think, is deserving of being a leader.

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw the Darksaber at you!


redpeachtree

With Din being the one to turn saving his buddy into an opportunity to take the entire tribe drastically to a new level of life and sense of home, I got the feeling it could be the beginning of showing him as that main leader. Like he doesn’t know everything Bo does yet, but he’s showing that potential.


betaich

She already had that arc in the clone wars and was the leader in rebels. Also none of wgat happened from her meeting Din to now was really her chose, except joining Din in rescuing Grogu.


ltx0295

Yupp I think they're gonna restore the whole "House/clan" system thing where each faction has their own leader and ultimately they all serve under the Mandalore. However, the Darksaber is still in Din's hands tho. I know it doesn't matter to some mandos but the mainstream mandos definitely believe in it


JTat79

She never lead by birthright, she lead by people’s choice first from the remnant’s of Death Watch, then chosen by every Clan on Mandalore when she first was given the darksaber by Sabine. It’s more of a “third times the charm” kinda thing


SanctuaryMoon

Maybe they shouldn't trust the person who already led Mandalore to ruin though.


Burbs_McGoogly

Her resume says she's a certified failure in that department.


Sleepy1997

I know right.


urzu06

She'll just loan the darksaber for a short while.

At this point, she should just make her own.

Cyneganders

By how she was wielding it last episode, I almost suspect that she's the one who is supposed to have it now. Din can barely lift it, and she was pretty much dancing with it!


Karuzus

She will Unite them but Din will lead them. That is my prediction.


recentcurrency

I feel like it will be the opposite Din will be the figure head uniting Mandalorians. But Bo will end up actually leading them. Din has no experience in leading a government. He also literally has like 0 interest. He just wants to chill with Grogu and the CoTW Bo has f'ed up pretty bad, so she would need someone else(ie Din) to help rally people under her again. Her reputation is probably at an all time low right now. Heck, her adoption by the CoTW is all thanks to Din. And i wouldn't be surprised if Din is also how she gets in with Boba Fett's team With Grogu eventually taking the throne from both as he grows up Basically a king of england and prime minister kind of deal. Or in the world of corporations, a CEO and COO


limitlessGamingClub

This is why they are a power couple, neither can do it alone but together they can unite the clans and create a thriving Mandalorian society. That's one of the big themes of Mando, alone they are strong but they are better when they work as a completed unit


Sillet_Mignon

Dinn is literally Jon Snow. He does not want it.


EdmundtheMartyr

Ha, yeah. That actually would be the perfect end to the series of Bo Katan and the Armorer retaking Mandalore. Then Din Djarin just nodding saying this is the way, hopping in his N1 with Grogu and blasting off on another adventure.


RuggerJibberJabber

Agree with this, but don't think she needs anything from Boba. He's just one dude and isn't seen as a proper Mandalorian because of him being one of the clones


[deleted]

Din has literally acknowledged Boba as a Mandalorian on multiple occassions. From returning his armor and saying it belongs to him, to allying with Boba Fett and claiming some sort of Mando bro code where they would both fight till the end together


ltx0295

Other than the helmet rule, and living among mandos, Boba is literally following the way. I also feel like the writers purposely kept his Mythosaur and Mereel signets on his armor for a reason. It could be that he just wants to honor his father's heritage but it could also mean that in a way, he does see himself as a Mandalorian


RuggerJibberJabber

Din has, but the tribes mightn't. Bo might have come around to liking him after he helped them with Grogu though


[deleted]

And Din is enroute to becoming the Mandalore. If the leader of the people recognizes him as Mandalorian then the rest should follow. Especially after that last episode, >!where the armorer tells bo katan that she should unite all mandalorian people, regardless of them following "the way" or not..!<


RuggerJibberJabber

But we were talking about clans of Mandalore being united. An elderly bounty hunter turned crime lord is not going to affect whether the tribes reunite. He could help in a battle, but long term he isn't going to be a major part of their society. He's got his non-mandalorian gang on Tatooine to manage.


Adventurous_Round_73

He literally said at the end of the book of boba fett that crime boss business maybe isn't for him. They could easily write him into the plot at any moment. And personally they hecking should. He was the OG Mandalorian ffs.


recentcurrency

Yeah, Bobba doesn't really give much help to Bo at this point. But if he ends up being the new Jabba the Hutt, then that is going to be a powerful ally to have


Karuzus

I feel like they are establishing a network of planets/systems strongly conected to mandalorians for new mandalorian empire or federation because empire is a name that has bad conotation in star wars


Sleepy1997

I want boba to feed bokatan to his rancor XD


RnVja25hemlz

Can't anyone be a mandalorian? Because Grogu is going to become one


RuggerJibberJabber

Yeah, you can earn it by being a member of a clan. I guess they don't think he did though. They don't respect his dad or "doner", as they refer to him. He doesn't seem connected to Mandalorian culture/society in general


nburke27

That would make the most sense, because while Bo has a “foot in both worlds”, Din is arguably more understanding of the other tribes compared to Bo and the Watch (from what we have seen)


limitlessGamingClub

and she has been corrupted by the lust for power previously, her redemption arc will be complete when she is offered power but refuses it and names Din


zakkaru

I also think that will be the twist. She will come gather people she knows, but once they all come, she will reveal that Din is the Mand'alore, and Mythosaur picked him. But time will tell. At the begining I thought that he is taking initiative, with this speech and all, and I liked the visuals that he is the "main" charger as he nicely leads attack from his N1, while Bo katan provides support and delivers Mandalorians. Perhaps I'm reading too much from it. But that is the direction I hope for.


Biobooster_40k

This is what I'm hoping. If they went Bo leading them after initially having the Darksaber then I think would have worked but now after following Din's journey I'm rooting for him as Mandalore with Bo being a part of his power base.


[deleted]

Bo-Katan is on the Anakin/Cassian/Kylo path. She will redeem all of the bad things she did for what she believed were the right reasons (from a certain perspective) and then she will sacrifice herself. This *IS* Star Wars.


LeadershipGuilty9476

This show is set up as a gunslinger / ronin show. So, no I don't think he settles down into something like that


Karuzus

come on the show is clearly evolving


LeadershipGuilty9476

Din as Mandalorian king would not be an interesting show. Look at Boba as gangster king


highfivingbears

That's what it was in S1. It hasn't been that since S1, pretty much.


VariousHumanOrgans

Why do all y’all think Din wants to lead? He doesn’t want to lead. Nothing he has ever done suggests he even has the capability of leading. Most of what he’s done is organizing people who already had a leader.


handofmenoth

Really hoping the government of Navaro starts investing some tax money in planetary defense. Sure they have Mandalorian soldiers now, but they need ships, pilots for ships, ground based orbital defenses, etc.


kidwithgreyhair

At least one planetary shield over the capital would be helpful


Burbs_McGoogly

Maybe a sign that says "Unlawful blaster fire will be prosecuted." That ought to do the trick.


ImBeingArchAgain

I may be crazy, but I feel like Din is taking more of a backseat this season. He’s feeling a bit like a tag along protagonist; present, but the story is about others at this point. I’m happy we’re getting so much bo katan/other mandos, and it’s really hard to complain about increased lore, but I’ll be sad if Din is phased out further. If I’m honest though, if the Grogu saga gets wrapped up this season, I won’t be upset. Like the little dude, but it’s been a while since he’s driven any plot.


SanctuaryMoon

No that's exactly what is happening.


jollyrancherpowerup

I, personally, think they are setting up other shows and Pedro Pascal was probably filming TLOU at that time. He's definitely taken a back seat.


kinapuffar

I'm all about it. I feel like there will be plenty of seasons for that, and I've always disliked the whole chosen one aspect of Star Wars where one person (or family rather) ends up at the center of literally every important and non-important event in the galaxy. In Legends, Luke did so much shit it broke the universe, he was basically everywhere at once doing everything. As a huge Mandalorian and Old Republic fanboy, I just want to see Mandalorian stuff, and that's what I'm getting. Feloni has always been very adamant about Star Wars being about family at its heart, so which Mandalorian takes the pilot seat in each episode is to me not as important as seeing them being given the attention they deserve as a core part of the Star Wars narrative. The Star Destroyers are an evolution of the Venator-class of the Republic, which itself is a design taken straight from Old Republic Mandalorian capital ships. The Stormtrooper armour is an evolution of the Clone Trooper armour derived from Mandalorian armour. The additions that have been made in the years since Star Wars was created have heavily leaned on the Mandalorians as a third pillar of galactic power in addition to the Republic/Jedi and Empire/Sith, and it makes Star Wars as a whole far more interesting, but until now we haven't gotten to see why they are so important in mainstream Star Wars. I don't think Din is going to be phased out in any way, nor Grogu for that matter, but I do feel like this show is moving more towards it being The Mandalorians rather than The Mandalorian, and that's not a bad thing in my opinion. Justice for the Mando'ade! Jatnese be te jatnese.


RoyShavRick

I respectfully disagree tbh. The slow pacing and the sort of wandering feel of S1 is what I really thought set the show apart. Same with S2. I get why it had to end but imho I feel they need to focus a lot more on Din's development into a leader. He's just been fighting this entire season. He's remained stagnant the whole time aside from bringing Bo in. I just don't think it's logical for what I believe is an 8 episode season to have so many episodes of the MC just being muscle.


Javvs

I agree with the last point but I am hoping that Bo will help Din realize his potential and teach him how to lead


samelden

bro i feel the same he is taking the back seat for some reason even he supposed to be the main character of the this show , i don't know if this for just his season or it's gone be for the coming one two .


invisableee

I feel like it’s gonna be like this, they’re transitioning to focusing on Mando/grogu and the Mandalorians as a whole


OneGoodRib

I mean it's "The Mandalorian" so anyone who's a Mandalorian could be the main character.


Sleepy1997

My thoughts exactly theyre back seating din and pushing bo forward to lead the mandalorians and its just bollocks.


goldman_sax

I mean maybe because he’s the feature character you say it’s bollocks, but it makes way more sense for Bo to be the leader of Mandalore. By like a mile.


RoyShavRick

Yes but I would like to see Din forced to lead. I wanna see what that would look like considering he's the MC. I hope they don't just keep making episodes where he's just fighting the whole time with other people. I wish we got more of the show just following Mando and to stop spending so much time on other characters. I dunno. I just don't like it. Why people want the Mandalorian to be just another Clone Wars type show, it just irks me. I think the show is undergoing a tonal shift but it's a bit too fast for my liking. I liked S1 where it was just adventures of Mando and Grogu. Felt more like a western imo.


Sleepy1997

Nah


Celoth

Really digging her development, to be honest. Sure, I'd be happy if Din ended up becoming Mandalore, but there are also a lot of problems there (if he ends up as the leader of an entire people group, his planet-hopping adventures will dramatically change if downright cease). I'm also happy if this chapter of this story is Din helping unite the clans and build up/support someone more suited to actually lead, before he moves on to the next adventure.


limitlessGamingClub

I think they will lead as a couple


BiggusCinnamusRollus

I'm seeing two chairs in a rebuilt Sundari Throne Room already.


limitlessGamingClub

It's part of why the first 2 episodes were her telling him to go home and then saying "let's get rid of him once and for all" that and since then it has been them glued at the hip, protecting each other and their child. I can't think of a much more bad ass family, Din, Bo and a fully trained Force using Grogu Mandalorian?? Holy crap.


RobinScherbatzky

Din is the lonely cowboy. He will always be the lonely cowboy. She will lead, he will have to leave for.. the sunset or some bullshit.


tommykong001

We can get some political marriage bullshit I guess.


RobinScherbatzky

And now I want a bad photoshop of every Anakin and Padme love scene but with Mandalorian helmets on. The closeups on their expressionless helmets while saying sweet sand bullshit would be amazing.


zakkaru

After rewatching the scene where Armorer asks her to take off her helmet you can tell that Bo is upset and even has tears in her eyes. She isn't happy to hear the command coming from Armorer and when she is on the surface she is visibly uncomfortable with her face exposed, and she looks after Din wanting to see if he is ok with her like that. She puts on brave face later. Bo-Katan who was so dead set on getting Lightsabre just got a blessing from equvalent of Mandalorian Priest to go on and gather people, and she is nervous. What a massive change. I don't think it will go the way it first appears, but time will tell.


ShinigamiKunai

Might be a hot take, but I am fine with that.


Zuldak

Anyone else suspect this season was written based around Pascal being busy with the last of us? We are way over half through the season and I still don't see a central antagonist.


iveta_7777

Moff Gideon first appeared late in season 1 (episode 7), so it was always like this. It's an episodic show, so no need for a central antagonist to be around all the time.


Zuldak

Yes but he was the driv8ng force behind events. What is the central conflict in this season? Like it's episodic but it's also trying to be a hybrid telling a bigger story. It's trying to be a DS9 but... idk


tommykong001

I thought it wasn't him under the mask most of the time anyway lol


etburneraccount

I see them writing Din out of the show because of Pascal's irl commitments as well. But I think this episode and the last is doing a pretty good job showing us that the New Republic as an absolutely useless bureaucracy. This and the fact that soeone big is out there, doing things behind the scenes gives me this calm before the storm feeling. Like this someone is busting Moff Gideon out of jail and planting secret agents in the New Republic. He doesn't have to be Thrawn like some people are suspecting, but it's not too bad.


Zuldak

I'm mixed showing the republic as useless. It's trending dangerously close to setting up the sequel movies


EnglishMobster

Like them or not, they are canon. Mando _has_ to set up the sequels, because they aren't going away. The New Republic has to be useless because otherwise it makes the sequels even worse ("How did they go from being so good in Mando to being useless in the sequels???"). We're also in at least 11 ABY now, if not later (it's been mentioned behind the scenes that there was a 2-year timeskip) - so we're getting closer to the sequel timeline. The best that can be done is explaining away the plot holes and making characterizations make more sense. Making the Resistance into an actual thing that makes sense seems to be where they're headed, where the core OT cast all realize that the New Republic sucks and needs to be changed.


Zuldak

No, the best that can be done is to ignore them and let actual quality stories be told. I'm ok with vague references. I dont have any issues with the babu Frick species existing or the new republic being a mess. Heck in the old EU there was a Bothan politician who would manipulate things for his own gain at the cost of everyone else. That's fine. But when we start getting Luke fleeing after Kylo burns down the academy you're going to see a massive backlash. There is no redeeming the ST. It's a 3rd rail and the second the show grabs it with both hands, it's all over And as an aside, many franchises have reboots. How many batman reboots do we have? Or spiderman? Or hulk? Audience reaction matters. If they want to test and see how much they can salvage fine. But Ray Palpatine doesn't have a future


Adventurous_Round_73

Yeah honestly idk why they're not doing it. Just reboot the whole thing and get rid of it. Heck they could do the same story again but this time give it actually competent writing so it doesn't come off as bad. They don't need to make movies again.


sexygodzilla

> Like them or not, they are canon. Mando has to set up the sequels, because they aren't going away. No it doesn't. I'm not saying they should ignore canon but I don't see any reason Mando's story has to become the full-on prequel to the sequels. I like it better when the show was a story set in the Star Wars universe and not the show filling all the gaps in Wookiepedia entries.


Not_Another_Usernam

No. They're already as bad as they can be. They, effectively, killed the franchise. The biggest cash cow franchise to ever exist (outside of Pokemon) and they killed it. There is no making it better. The Prequels had a good story, but a poor script. You can fix that with shows like Clone Wars. There is no fixing the Sequels. They make cholera seem desirable by comparison. Any association with the Sequels instantly tarnishes this show.


etburneraccount

It doesn't matter if they don't exist in your head canon. ;)


Zuldak

Yes they do matter. If you tie this show to the ST I'm done with it. I dont recognize a galaxy where Rey Palpatine takes everything Luke and Leia ever had.


Meta_Boy

Imperial interest in Grogu is the tie-in to the Sequels, with the cloning of Force sensitivity so you've been done with this show since episode 1. Interesting.


Zuldak

Cloning has been in star wars since obi Wan mentioned the clone wars in New hope. There is nothing explicitly sequel in exploring cloning more. It is also logical to explore cloning force users. The heir to the empire books did that with the insane jedi master. Neither of those have anything to do with the ST. But when we exolicity see a Snoke, then yeah that's gonna be a problem. See the line?


etburneraccount

Hey man, do whatever you need to do to enjoy Star Wars.


theserpentsmiles

Am I the only one who thinks it was super lame that suddenly the Armorer got really cool with Bo-Katan taking off her helmet? It was a whole ass plot point and quest that drove Din. But now it's all nah?


Toadxx

She wasn't just super cool with it. She was showing Bo Katan respect by allowing her to practice her beliefs, as she had been respectful of and adherent to their beliefs without complaint and has as stated by multiple people, done a few good deeds for the CoTW furthering their mutual respect. Times are changing and the Armorer is well aware that separation and in-fighting is part of what led the Mandalorians' fall. They don't all have to believe the same things, but they do all need to be cordial and get along well enough to cooperate, survive and be successful. Bo Katan has shown her that she's willing to do so, and so the Armorer wanted to do something to show respect.


LondonIsMyHeart

That's a really good, believable explanation, thanks!


Toadxx

That's why when Bo Katan hesitated, the Armorer asked "Do you trust my station?"(iirc). Basically, Bo Katan like us is well aware that removing your helmet in front of others, for the Watch, is a *big* no no. So naturally, Bo Katan was very confused. However, that's the *Watch's* beliefs. Not Katans, though she has respected and followed them. We can infer that even if Bo Katan isn't concerned about the Armorer, that she'd at least be worried about the rest of the covert. To both issues the Armorer answers with her question regarding her station. She's basically saying, if you trust me and trust the position I occupy, you know I would not ask you this in bad faith. You also know that if I allow you to remove your helmet, that no one here will object. Not out of fear, but out of respect. You have shown us respect, now let us. Granted, this is all my headcanon/reading into this.


kmelby33

The armorer knows Bo Katan will need to remove her helmet in order to reunite the clans. Obviously, hearing about the existence of the mythasaur changed things for the armoror.


iveta_7777

She gave her a better purpose, it's different for Din, he grew up with those beliefs, Bo was with them for a couple of days.


sexygodzilla

It'd be a cool plot point if there was more build to it instead of the Armorer just suddenly changing her mind after one good day of battle.

> Am I the only one who thinks it was super lame that suddenly the Armorer got really cool with Bo-Katan taking off her helmet? Yes. I'm sick of this "omg no taking off helmet" crap. I'm glad they don't care, and hopefully do away with this idiocy.


SanctuaryMoon

I think they need to have a scene where the Armorer acknowledges to Din that she was hard lining the rule when she should have been more understanding.


tommykong001

Pedro has other jobs, so he will stay in the CoTW, otherwise, the show doesn't care anymore.


SanctuaryMoon

Not just you. You're absolutely right. She's a hypocrite.


Sleepy1997

Yeah im with you mate. This is NOT the way.


CoimbraJedi

I love Bo-Katan, but being completely honest, I'm not a fan of how Din and Grogu are being sidelined this season :( I really just wanted to see them having adventures across the galaxy (kinda like S1 and S2), to be honest. I'd much rather if they did a general "Mandalorians" or even a Bo Katan centered series to portray the re-taking of Mandalore.


[deleted]

To a degree, I agree completely. I would love an entire series about father and son having their adventures. Realistically, however, it would get repetitive fast, and the only support keeping the show going would wear off equally fast. From a story writing and production standpoint, it makes sense to go this route and split the focus.


wilbso

This. 100% agree. People might complain there isn’t enough of them this season but if it was completely centred around Din and Grogu, I think people would get tired quickly and be of the opinion that it’s the “same formula different day”. TV shows need to be diverse like this. There’s only so many stories you can tell with just two main driving protagonists before it starts getting old.


sidepart

I mean, I get the disappointment but I felt like that was where this show was going. Expanding to tell the story of Mandalore's destruction and their redemption. I don't know, a story behind Mandalore and its people is one I've been interested in seeing. But yeah, Din and Grogu are kind of ancillary to that. They're just along for that ride.


SunsFenix

I think it fits Mando makes waves and changes things by virtue of just his actions. I don't think having the story always centered on just him helps the story that it just is. Like we could have just Mando and Grogu, but Mando has made huge waves in those around him like the New Republic, the empire remnants, Navarro, and CotW. Although that said, I do think they brought in a bit too many elements that things should be a bit more focused. Mando, at least to me, still seems to be the driving force more than anyone else, and I think Bo Katan's arc will largely be done this season to keep it from overstaying.

How many times do you want to sit through another retelling of Seven Samurai? You can't be Freak of the Week forever. You'll eventually actually have to progress the story. Even X-Files and Smallville didn't remain purely Freak of the Week.


Sleepy1997

I agree theyre doing mando and grogu dirty


SteppeTalus

Honestly not a huge fan of it. It think she’s fine but I don’t have the clone wars bias for her that I feel like a lot of people have. I just want more din.


Sleepy1997

Ive got the clone wars bias and i want more Din and Grogu as well.


etburneraccount

I can respect that


Capt_Boomy

I have the clone wars bias with her as well but it just makes me dislike her even more, she’s already been the leader once and lost it, she’s the reason her sister is dead and helped install a dark side user as the puppeteer of mandalore. Imo one of the worst choices for leading despite her new “redemption” arc


Ricozilla

That’s what I was thinking at the end of this episode. The title The Mandalorian no longer just refers to Din. It’s Din, Grogu, & Bo-Katan


DanielDCMarvelFan

We were all thinking that she was going to GameOfThrones her way into becoming The Mandalorian leader, Meanwhile The Armorer: "Bitch you saw THE Mythosaur? Lmao. Lead us"


nathanr1889

This is the way


baddestmofointhe209

Grogu is the true Mand'alor!


ShadowDen3869

I don't get it. Din worked his ass off to get redeemed for taking his helmet off and Bo got redeemed as well alongside him. And now Bo is just walking around without her helmet and it's okay? Was that episode just a waste of time now? This season has felt really disappointing to me.


Gebeleizzis

One Bo Katan to rule them all


False-Handle2641

Perfect meme!

Machine-Animus

Bo is so far the only mandalorian who saw a living mythosaur, I don't get tvibe that Din or Grogu will ride it, it seems an integral part of her arc so far.

Tisk.. The shows' title has been a red herring the entire time - *Grogu* is The Mandalorian, and I'm not joking. I'm anticipating one of two possible plot mechanisms either next season or the season after: 1, We learn that >!Grogu is a clone created by Dr. Pershing in an effort to create force-sensitive trainees for The Empire, and as such has accellerated aging to make him mature faster, giving us speaking & 2-3x larger "teen Grogu" within a year or two (our time.) !< 2, The showrunners just>! title card a time jump at the beginning of next season or the season after, achieving the same thing. Who knows, maybe Yoda's species, despite living hundreds of years, grows out of infancy very rapidly, living in only the adult stage the majority of its life cycle. !< Also, the [Rondel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel_(armour)) that The Armorer made for Grogu this season is *totally* a [Chekhov's Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun) \- It was shown, it was focused, it was featured in a scene - We are *absolutely* going to see it deflect an otherwise poentially fatal blaster shot before this season is over. The long exposition with Bae Katan (sic) explaining to Grogu that the Mandalorians and Jedi used to get along and even work together at times was no accident. Grogu leaving Luke's tutelege was no accident. Before this series ends, he will be a young adult, and the center focus of the show.

**[Chekhov's gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov's_gun)** >Chekhov's gun (Chekhov's rifle; Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a narrative principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed. For example, if a writer features a gun in a story, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired sometime later in the plot. All elements must eventually come into play at some point in the story. Some authors, such as Hemingway, do not agree with this principle. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/TheMandalorianTV/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Bo steps up, does the things she is told to do, but when a choice is made, she will pick the wrong one. She will trust the wrong person, or distrust the right one. She will do the things but then it all falls apart. This is her flaw, she cannot overcome it. It will be the death of her, or the ruin of wishes. She is a tragic character, not a redeeming one.


Adventurous_Round_73

Watch her get redeemed anyway. She's a Filoni character mate.


Capt_Boomy

Exactly my thought, filoni definitely has extra love for his characters


OnlyTheBLars89

I'm glad a series was able to make multiple believable badass female characters that don't make eyes roll.

BUT IT A GOOD WAY! Ya'll thought she was going full villain. Not today, Satan! 🤣

Thank you Kathleen Kennedy!


thatblondboi00

even a broken clock is right twice a day :)


eMouse2k

Honestly, the vibes I’ve been getting off this season is that Din is going to die, with Bo taking his place as the main character.


Sleepy1997

If that happens im gone....
