Kransten is the only good thing about this series so far as the bar scene really showed how powerful he is and not to be taken lightly by any trandoshan, cos cookies in canton aren't shown to be half as ruthless as trandsohans.

So a wookie bounty hunter attacks a bunch of gamblers and that shows what? Let him take on Bossk and we will talk.

PS: The scene was once again just fan service as people have wanted a wookie to rip someones arm(s) off in a movie or show for decades.

I liked the episode, but I do have a couple of niggles.
1. Bona Fett was nowhere to be found in his own show with his name on it and likely barely appears in the next one either, so basically 2 out of 7 episodes he's AWOL
2. How did the Armorer turn a 5ft long spear of pure beskar into a shiny joystick knob for Grogu to play with? Where's the rest of it?

This is the second time I’ve seen someone mention that she made a joystick knob. I’ve watched it a couple of times, and I don’t understand where this confusion is coming from. You never specifically see what she makes, but you do see that she makes small rings like what would be used for chain mail. Also, Mando specifically asked her to make armor. The knob has already been a part of the show for some time and came from the Razor Crest. It is not beskar.

Also, from the first season I seem to remember that Mando usually donates most of what he gives to the Armorer and only gets a small portion turned into something for himself.

Its the same type of ship Anakin used in TPM, but I don't think we know for sure that the one we see is specifically the one Anakin used.

Apparently the symbols on the side of the cockpit are different

First time I saw the beskar spear, I wondered if thats the same one phasma take in the last jedi.

This EP gives me the answer.

Chewie already did that in Solo

Fan service is still fan service. That movie was very forgetful.

A whole side quest episode for CG to give us a new ship, pilot and heroes journey. Disney sure loves the new producer ?

One thing just hit me - how are they going to deal with the Armorer in the game? She was added as Light Side, but I don't think she really is. She is the leader of a group splintered from Death Watch, so very much not the good guys. Besides, there seems to be a conflict brewing with the "good" Mandalorians. Is she going to have her tag changed?

Mando cut someone in half because he owed cash to a gangster - just to get some directions to a stairway. Maybe his tag needs a bit of thought.

Aren't all forms of entertainment fan service? If you don't service your fans you don't end up with fans.

Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

This episode was awesome so someone had to find something to be angry about.

One thing I wanted to ask - do people think the Darksaber needs to be won by its ‘rightful’ owner? Obviously Bo-Katan didn’t win it in combat from Sabine, which is (in the Armorer’s view) why Mandalore fell.

But Sabine didn’t win it from Maul, either. She instead took it, then later when Saxon took up the Darksaber, she defeated him. Meanwhile we don’t know what happened between Bo-Katan and Gideon for Gideon to end up with the Darksaber at all.

So I guess I’m wondering - do people think Sabine ‘won’ the Darksaber from Saxon? Do you think Gideon had a legitimate claim to the Darksaber? Does that even matter for Mando’s sake?

I guess I’m trying to figure out how Elder-Wand-y this thing is.

I’m not the best at picking up obscure details. Can anyone tell if that’s actually supposed to be Anakin’s ship?
