I’m surprised no one is talking about the facial scan part. Does it just log the face of whoever used it? Because my impression was that the scan was a passcode. Meaning that his face is in the system and allowed him access, which makes no sense.
Thoughts?

Or it is just a safeguard to keep droids from using those stations, the same way a person would.

His face being registered in the system now will probably have consequences in the future.

Yep.

I loved it:

I loved everything, but the highlight was Mando reciting Moff Gideon's words

I think ep 8 is going to start like ep 7: found Mayfield in ep 7 and collecting ... found Bo-Katan in ep 8. Ahsoka senses Grogu's ep 6 temper tantrum ... she uses the force to find his location and contacts Mando ... Mando decides to meet up on Gideon's cruiser. Fight Gideon's forces ... Dark Troopers are disengaged!! ... Gideon sacrifices himself eventually ... Grogu is not there!! ... Grogu with Thrawn (not shown). Mando continue looking in s3 ... finds Ezra ... Ahsoka finds Thrawn and Grogu ... meets w/ Sabine ... Sabine + Ahsoka find Ezra + Mando ... all-in attack on Thrawn (s3 of Mando + Ahsoka s1).

I doubt my predictions will be correct ... so I am calling it my wishlist.

I was really hoping Cara would pardon Mayfield and give him a job so he’d stick around, but watching her turn from him so he could walk away was also cool.

I was thinking about this too after hearing she is getting a spin off in Rangers of the New Republic.

I'm sort of wondering if all this time w/ Boba & Fenec might mean her "Rangers" are like the original "Walker" in the movie who was willing to do whatever it took to take the bad guy down.

Might be they are more of a "Punisher" type group w/ Lawful Good Paladins, etc etc.

I think they wouldn’t show off Thrawn in the Mandalorian, but keeping him for the new Ahsoka tv series, considering that she’s the one who are looking for him.

Maybe a crossover episode could happen, as they are saying it’s in the same timeline as The Mandalorian.

The Thrawn part will be in Ahsoka series. In Mando s3, Mando basically finds out about Moff Gideon not being head of the Imperial Remnants, and Mando s4 is the culmination where all the characters team up to defeat the ultimate enemy. My mistake -- the all-in attack on Thrawn will be Mando s4.

They said that Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Rangers of the New Republic will all build to a final event for the three shows. Imo that has to be Thrawn

I think Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic could build up to Thrawn, whilst Mando and Rangers of the New Republic will build up to something else, and that all leads to SEE (I hope SEE does not get involved, though it makes sense due to the timeline. This could be where Ahsoka dies, and maybe everyone dies on the good side :( and SEE + FO is kept secret as NR think it's a disappearance in the unknown regions and don't want to waste more forces).

Mayfield almost stole this episode.

I dare say he did. I actually like him as a character now. Seemed like his PTSD kicked in and as he was starting to roll in his speech, I was thinking he was going to blast that imp and mess things up. Also Cara saying he died in the explosion was a good symbol of respect and growth on her part.

Nobody talking about how CLEAN Boba looked with a new paint job

First thing I noticed about Fett when he came on screen. Fresh to death. (hope that is still a thing lol)

I'm curious how they will play Thrawn, if at all. Thrawn was only loyal to the empire as long as their goals aligned with the Chiss. After reading the new books, I don't really see Thrawn as having much to do with the remnant, since they may not have anything to offer in exchange for his services. We will see.

Maybe that's where Grogu comes in ... Thrawn gets force powers in return for loyalty to imp. remnants. Then he goes rogue!

Wait is bobas armor durasteel or beskar?

Mando seemed to imply it was beskar in the last episode, however it was Durasteel in the original trilogy and Boba upgraded it to Beskar in 44 ABY (second galactic civil war (which is no longer canon))

So it seems Disney is implying Boba upgraded it now to Beskar sometime between ROTJ and Mandalorian, however it looks very old and used

I think Boba said it was Jango's armor and that it was beskar, so that should imply Jango had beskar armor and that the durasteel version is now "legends" material. Kinda makes sense because when we see Jango lose his head, the helmet and pauldrons don't look like they took damage from Mace's lightsaber and beskar can withstand a lightsaber strike and Why Mace took a decapitating strike too.

Not sure if you have read the books, I do recommend them highly.

Spoiler

The Chiss do have force sensitive individuals, that loose their abilities as they age. Thrawn never had the ability. The children who can use the force are used as navigators and the Chiss ships don't have navi computers. Thrawn even had Vader pilot his ship in the books. My personal fan theory is that Thrawn makes a truce with Ezra and has him pilot the Chimera. Thrawn also learns of the Jedi purge and that would make his loyalty to the empire to be in question. I don't really see Thrawn being a commanding officer in the First Order, unless they can offer the Chiss something that the Chiss can't get anywhere else.

I haven't read the books. I will do and thx for the info. I like the truce idea, but then why the Magistrate?
