Mandalorian discussion[SPOILERS]

Rangers of the new republic will probably tie into The Mandalorian? Since Cara became a marshal of the New Republic, it seems to indicate we might see cameos canonically tie the two shows together. 

I was under the impression Boba would be getting his own spinoff?
But the list already looks like a portion large enough to keep me entertained without him, if that turns out to be the case. 

Plenty of different online news/journal outlets are covering the potential new shows, but it seems there's a bit more digging to do when it comes to finding out what's going on with future Star Wars games. 

Considering cancelation happens, & companies seem to be enjoying shooting themselves in the feet simply to flip-off audiences occasionally, I'd take any future potential Star Wars news with a dump truck of salt. // Which is to say; I'll be heavily skeptical about what to expect based on presentations of what's to come. 

I enjoyed that episode as well 

The last 2 are my favourites 

SLICK PAINT!

Some prisoner was awesome.

Oh yeah, that nod to Operation: Cinder.

The noise of the seismic charge 

Loved it

So.....mandlore was destroyed by operation: cinder? 
thats what i got at least

Really liked this episode.  It's so cool seeing Boba Fett and Slave I flying around.  I had a feeling Mayfield would try some cracks and get shut down with one look from Boba Fett lol!!!!  That was awesome.  Mayfield overall was surprisingly good.  A lot of character development for him confronting his former commander.  Din having to deal with a situation where he had to take his helmet off...VERY well acted.  He looked so out of his element.   Also learns the hard way that Imperial armor can't take the hits Beskar can lol.

Fennec and Cara's teamwork as snipers was cool.  They work well together which further solidifies in my mind that they are building Rangers of the New Republic around this crew...including Boba Fett.  He does turn from bounty hunting in Legends around this time period, so maybe they are moving in the same direction in the new canon.

When Din talked about Mandalore being poisoned, he may have been referring to how he viewed the situation based on his ties to the Watch.

In a Bounty Hunting handbook addressed to Boba (Not canon? I'm not sure.) The leader of the Deathwatch cult at that time had written about how Mandalore was being destroyed by its own people. It was kind of a cultural divergence. That DeathWatch were - in their own opinion - the salvation of a dying society based on specific ' ' ancient values.' ' (Jango goes out of his way to write-in excerpts claiming that the Visla character - ' 'writer' '  of this stuff was occasionally lying/was a liar/Jango killed him. ) 

If the Children of the Watch are the next generation of the Death Watch with revised policies & goals then it makes sense they'd continue to inform their charges that Mandalore was decaying from within due to traditions being abandoned.

Sabine Wren (Of Mandalore..?)  ended up making weapons for The Empire that would specifically harm wearers within Beskar armor, but then she turned to the Rebels, and I think as a result, conflicts between the Empire and Mandalore intensified, Wren managed to reverse the destructive weapons' attention to target Storm Trooper armor... Which I think was made out of Durasteel...? Which sounds like it'd be a bad idea to do because EVERYTHING is Durasteel so ...?? 0_o;;  

I'm not sure what happens after that, but the events that occur from beyond this point seem to stem from actions that go against what may or may not be potential goals for specific clans vying for political power... Which is indicated by Din's choice of words. Imo.

Anyways... I think Operation Cinder was just an Easter Egg to reference the Story Mode of SWBF 2 2017 (EA). Maybe it isn't directly related to Din's story/ other than the fact that Din has 'May around at that point, who is expressing his own background story.
'May serves as a cautionary example of  ' 'why the Empire sucks.' ' - from an Imperial's perspective.  'May revealing this part of his past provides insight for Din (& the audience)  to acknowledge that the Empire are villains 100%.

Random thought 
When 'May & Din were passing through the local impoverished village & Din looked into the eyes of one of the locals & fixated on them.
It reminded me... Jacen Syndulla might be a potential force Sensitive to answer Grogu's call? (I was trying to forget he existed.) 


Luke states, I'm a Jedi, like my father before me.

I'm not sure if force sensitivity can be passed down... but if it can, then... 

Jacen Syndulla might become force sensitive - since his father was a Jedi. 

18 pages   of discussions and season 2 is not even over yet....

Seismic charge for the win! Also I thought it was cool how they showed the inside of slave 1 rotate as they took off. I've always wondered about that lol, like I thought maybe he would be laying down when the ship was on the ground haha

Definitely agree with everyone one seismic charges.  Unlike the ST, this show knows how to do it right.  They seem to understand the difference between "fan service" and simply doing what is right by the fans.  Fans waited 40 years to see the OT cast on screen together again, and the ST passed on it.  Could have been the biggest theatrical win of all time, and imo cast a shadow over the trilogy from the start.

This is something Lucas understood as well.  When Clone Wars brought back Darth Maul, a lot of people (including myself) initially thought it was cheesy fan service.  But it turned out to be a well done, excellently crafted plan and one of the best storylines in Star Wars.  It was simply doing something right by the fans.  And now we Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau continuing that with Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and even Bo Katan.

So sad season 2 comes to an end tomorrow. I've loved the entire season so far.

Yes, it seems as though, Disney's choice to release episodes based on an older timed schedule (as opposed to a more modern approach of uploading everything via binge format) stretched the lifespan & relevancy of the show.
Initially, I was upset that I wouldn't be able to watch it all in one sitting... But I understand that's because I may be somewhat spoiled by the luxuries I've enjoyed in the absence of (set) program /  pacing... 
In the end, I'm fairly satisfied with being granted the time to consolidate the Mandalorian show and it's contents/information. 

Similarly, I wanted to give responses about the show at a slower pace. To respond rather than to react. (A part of why I'm choosing to talk about the show/s with others over forums instead of instant messenger apps.) 

After the unexpected twists presented in the previous episode, I'm wondering how the season finale is going to wrap up... I don't even have any predictions for it...
 

@DvveeboI agree with everything you said. I'm glad Disney went with the traditional weekly episode format. It does let you enjoy it more, talk about it, and build anticipation for what is coming next. So much better than binging it day one, then having to wait a whole year for more lol.

I noticed Amazon switched Expanse to a weekly format starting this season.  They aired the first 3 episodes day one with the rest coming out weekly.  Seems they've noticed the benefit of stretching the content out longer.  CBS All Access has been airing their Star Trek shows weekly as well.

That was a good episode 

Loved it all the way through 

And with that Season 2 is over.

That was INSANE!!!!! Best ep by far
