The noise of the seismic charge
Loved it
@ToddyRocket1 Seismic charges make me go, “yes”
18 pages of discussions and season 2 is not even over yet....
EA_AticDICE Team
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.
- @ToddyRocket1 Yeah of the 3 I could see that. I do think they choreographed her moves well and I like the casting choice.
But being able to use Katee Sackhoff as a live action Bo Katan after having voiced her for years in Clone Wars and Rebels is pure gold. Same for Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett. It couldn't have come together better if they sat down and planned this a decade ago. lol

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
- EA_AticWow is all I have to say after that episode!
Soo cool! Also there is a scene after the credits. 😉
/Atic - @ToddyRocket1 yeah honestly the end credits made the rest of the episode kinda feel lame in comparison. (It was still really good though).
My only real thought is why didn't they bring ahsoka?
that just seems so obvious. Shes clearly the most powerful person he has met.
Granted that would have made the episode about 30 minutes shorter but still.
So. The book of boba fett. Im cool with another book but I feel that a show would obivously be much cooler considering how little he was actually used in this one. (besides the tragedy)
Or is it a show called the book of boba fett and i misunderstood?
EDIT: the internet is making it sound like a show so im gonna go with that.It also feels strange that they left the matter of the darksaber unresolved. It will be interesting to see what happens, although I don't really want Din leading Mandalore.
- @SwellingFoil266
Season 3 is already getting ready for production - @SwellingFoil266
The most powerful person he has met now is luke
I'm not a fan of Ashoka but she will have a part definitely in the next series @ToddyRocket1If they would have waited just a few hours luke would now be the ruler of mandalore considering he would have saved grogu anyway
The way he just crushed that one though.- @SwellingFoil266
Plus the end credits let's us delve deeper in the underworld scum in the Starwars universe
Remember this is in part bounty hunters and general people trying to fit in this galaxy
Then he wouldn't be a jedi
Everyone has there own feelings and honour
That's where they fit in
Sith or jedi or a religion
Bounty hunters or generally fighting for ones own people
Money, greed and power
Everyone has their own perception of how it is
That's what makes it great
Plus I don't care what people say
The Grey order is watching.- @ToddyRocket1 I think her seriies, Mandalorian, and Rangers are supposed to be headed for a major event crossover. Now that they've proven they can do Luke in these series, I think he and Ahsoka have to meet in her series. That would be Star Wars gold.
- @SwellingFoil266 its not unresolved. Din now is the proper wielder lol. I suspected they were grooming Mando for the role.
Mando checks all the leadership boxes. He's got high moral standards, is humble and will do anything for those in his protection. Bo Katan and Death Watch are the "win at all cost" variety, and she still seems to have some of that in her.
We all wondered if Gideon defeated Bo Katan for it. I think the answer is yes. That's why Bo Katan wants it back so badly.
I can't get the normal reply to work on the forums somehow to tag this properly, so...
*** Clone Wars and Rebels spoilers ***
Bo Katan never actually won the Darksaber in combat. She was appointed regent after Siege of Mandalore without actually wielding the Darksaber. I think that's why she wants to face Gideon so badly. It was finally her shot to win it in combat.
Maul defeated Pre Viszla for the Darksaber.
In Rebels, Sabine Wren found it in Maul's lair.
Maul was never defeated in combat for it.
Ursa Wren even told Sabine she had no claim to it, so she gave it to Gar Saxon (the Empire's appointed governor of Mandalore) as a peace offering. Sabine won it back, defeating Gar Saxon.
Sabine gave it to Bo Katan since it never was her's by right of combat in the first place.
*** End Spoilers *** - @SwellingFoil266 I think Book of Boba Fett is likely a show too. A nice surprise they held back off the investor call.

[...] Another thought...what if the Jedi who reaches out to Grogu is none other that Luke Skywalker? Could happen!! They did a younger version for the force projection scene in Last Jedi and flashback scenes. I'm sure they could pull it off with Mark Hamill for Mandalorian.(Thank you.) Yes!
Ah, I haven't actually been following where Mando might be streaming elsewhere/outside of D+, so this is good to hear. (The Star Trek stuff is a bit off topic, so I'll look into it on my own time, but that sounds great too. Last I saw of Star Trek stuff was a cartoon that seemed to take inspiration from Rick & Morty, so I should check to see what I'm missing out on currently.)
(*I was waiting to see who would answer Grogu's call)
You called it with the Deep Fake & with it being Luke, well done!
Maybe, they will be using Sebastian Stan for future footage which could focus more on Luke's time at the temple with his younglings? (Honestly, I thought Star Wars was done with DeepFakes after that whole thing with Leia ticked off a bunch of fans, lol. Plus, it doesn't seem plausible to make long session footage using DeepFake - it just doesn't look as realistic as a person's face, especially with mouth movements.)
This tie in is going to make Luke's eventual character destination all the more resonating & crushing... When we learn that Luke didn't just fail Kylo, he failed the ADORABLE GROGU. (& possibly more would-be Padawanz. But it's so much more dramatic when you know the characters that were involved. It's going to be heart breaking when they get to that point. All the more because it won't just be some word of mouth story you haven't seen. Being there as an observer along the way is going to hurt a lot more... )
But that's just one part of the general Star Wars adventure... Typically, the Force Sensitives' stories don't interest me as much as the standard civiz of the sci-fi.
'Going to be interesting to see what Din does when he returns to his armorer with the ruling symbol of Mandalore.
