    Seriously geeking out at that episode.

    So many spoilers to talk about

    Mid-way through I was convinced another ship would swoop in at the end and Sebastian Stan would walk out lightsaber in hand.

    Is there any substance to this Sebastian Stan stuff I keep seeing? I haven't been able to find anything concrete online

    Feels like the Galaxy is about to become a bigger place in this show! Real clone wars / rebels feel to
    that use of the force Grogu did on top of the mountain.

    Only started watching this in the last week, today's episode was my first that I had to wait to drop.
    Totally confused by the facial recognition test. Was it just to prove someone had a face? How would his face have been on record?

    It was just to prove he had a face, probably either to have a facial log of the people accessing the system or to prevent droids from using it.

    I'd say that Pedro Pascal was in negotiations about taking the helmet off at some point. As an actor, having your face covered isn't the best for the old career.

    Ah, yeah...
    like the one scene from Series one. Possibly contracted for at least one scene per series. Thought it was poorly executed this time though.

    It's also the reason why Mrs. Starbuck was in the show a few weeks ago with her helmet off. She mentioned something about it being allowed with her faction. So, in S3 or S4 Mando will be able to remove his helmet more often too as he changes his credo.

    Yes, agreed.
    That was shock enough. Kinda makes our eponymous hero's sect look like pointless zealots.

    I think that predates the show, the
    two factions were set out that way

    " As revealed in season 2, Mando's current clan are a more fanatical splinter cell away from the core tenets of the Mandalore race. Other Mandalorians, such as Bo-Katan, take off their helmet whenever they please."


    Also, great episode bar that little bit at the end which is f@ckin stupid.

    Yep, could have done that much better. Was really crap acting all of a sudden that you'd be disappointed with if you saw it in a nursery school play. The plot point was fine, but the way they did it was awful.

    I think that was supposed to be a throwback to what Gideon said at the end of Season 1 (start of final episode I think, or end of second last) - it was probably intended to come off as sarcastic, using someones words against them.

    Ok. Stop what you are doing this morning and watch it. It will be very hard to avoid the spoiler the longer the day goes on. It is likely to be on the entertainment section of most news websites.

    Great final 10 minutes.

    Cheers for the heads up.
    I totally forgot there was one more mandalorian episode. Binge watched the first and second season last weekend. Why did it take me so long to watch it. Great show.

    From your comments I assume something big will happen.

    I sank back in my seat in disbelief. So good to watch a show not ruined by spoilers.

    That was some finale. Watched it with the kids and when I saw the
    “x-wing”
    arrive it wasn’t until they said “only one
    X wing
    and I knew it was a
    Jedi
    . When I saw the
    green lighsabre
    I was like “noooooo way, they wouldn’t .....”

    One of my favourite shows and probably my most favorite Disney SWs stuff alongside rogue One.

    I must add that Mando
    taking his helmut off to say goodbye was up there with some of the more powerful SWs moments .

    It’s been great watching Mandos story unfold but honestly don’t know what
    season 3 will be like without
    Grogu

    I'm guessing s3 will be all about taking back Mandalore?

    I'm thinking they may continue with Grogu and Mando's stories separately. Can't really see Disney just putting Grogu on the shelf because of the merchandise pull bit maybe that's just me being cynical.

    Goh, at the start of the episode I thought I'd probably wanna be listening to the theme song by the end of it.
    but saying goodbye to Grogu like that..

    so I'll go with Rogue One instead..

    It's one of my Christmas movies, so I'll be watching it soon.




    Overall I loved season 2. The best star wars has been since 1983. Probably could have done without the digital jedi at the end. It slightly took me out of what was happening, but just a minor complaint.

    And I did not get emotional at the very end, YOU DID!

    After credits scene would suggest the next series is based around
    Boba Fett and the Grogu story is over
