Mandalorian S2:E2 Chat (SPOILERS)

They had a chance for more Boba but he was MIA

Every single minute looks stunningly beautiful, filler or not

Personally I wasn’t a fan of the episode.. at first I though the child was eating the eggs to protect them and bring them up later unharmed but no he was just eating them...

Second it felt like a filler episode.. and needed an ending to keep us hanging.. like Mando gets to the next planet and when he’s landing a mysterious figure is watching him.. something like that so we are kept guessing all week

A bit of a non-plot episode but if you think that in the first season there were a couple of these (The Prisoner) which added but didn't develop the story. I liked it and I didn't realise the spiders were from Rebels - yes! The best bit was baby yoda gobbling the egg in the last scene - made me chuckle.

On a side, note, there have been loads of characters which have been Twileks - I wonder if they are gearing us up to a Hera Syndulla reveal? The spiders were a nod to Rebels and she was certainly around - well if you consider the Ghost being there in Ep XI!

I'd like to see the Fett pair up with Mando too - a here's your gear you muppet - oh you cant wear it! Nevermind, there's hardly any Mandolorians around now anyway type of episode.

The workaround would be that Fett took the creed somewhere after he was a kid. But maybe he will face off against Mando. I am interested in seeing if they will restore the Fetts to mandalorian status. (I know Lucas said No! No! to that.)

The second season has been good so far. Chapter 10 was kinda like a side job, but not too bad. As funny as it was, I don't think that The Child should've eaten the eggs, only because they made a huge stink over how important they were. But I do understand that kids will always get into things they're not supposed to.

What was "less than stellar" about episode 1, iyo?

A few things...

I think, and I may be reading into this too much, the most important thing about the dragon fight was showing that Mando armor can survive in the pit of something as vile and acidic as the stomach of that beast. It serves as an explanation as to why a certain other bounty hunter wearing similar armor might have survived being in the belly of an underground-dwelling monster.

I love the show, and I feel like its right in the sweet spot for timeline in the universe. They have access to so much nostalgia without it being a stretch, but they can flesh out and build up their own "new things" to help create its own niche.

What makes you so certain that the team couldn't have done anything better?

Do you think the team is over-performing? Do you think the creative team's talents are so meager that you're surprised that they managed to turn out something this good?

Jango Fett wasn’t a mandalorian. I remember vaguely that Kenobi mentioned that he met a bounty Hunter with a Mandalorian armour and the reply was that they don’t know how he got the armour and he’s no Mandalorian.

I think it was in the clone wars series, where Kenobi met up with the queen of Mandalorian home planet?

So since Boba is a clone, he’s no Mandalorian.

We will see how this plays out in the series. I'm hoping that the Fetts Mandalorian status gets restored. I think that either Boba took the creed after clone wars, or he gets his Mandalorian rights restored in canon or Boba and Mando are going to fight. Any way things happen, it is going to be interesting.
