Mandalorian ***SPOILERS***
Okay I have to talk about last night.

- We learn Baby Yoda’s name

- We get a Jedi light saber battle with a Clone Wars Jedi cameo

- Mando learns his life has been a lie and he’s part of a cult

- The actress who plays Bo-Katan is the same actress who ‘voiced her’ in Clone Wars

- A new mission that send Mando and Baby Yoda aka Grogu on a “Lonewolf and Cub” like adventure.

Any of these could have been a season finale cliff-hanger!?!

We’ve still got 3 (I think) epps to go this season.

His life hasn't been a lie.

His clan just didn't teach the other ways, they are more hard core fundamentalist. To them the other Mandos aren't truly "the way"

Like being raised a strict Catholic your whole life then finding out there are other Christian faiths or even other Catholics who aren't as devout. Your life hasn't been a lie, just sheltered a bit.

I do wonder what they will make with Thrawn.

I entertain the notion that Moff Gideon is actually working for him

(Although I'm not sure if a Moff would outrank a Grand Admiral)

usually a moff was a governor of a sector and held a rank of admiral in the imperial navy.

also Page 93 of Galaxy at War states that Moffs and Grand Moffs "occupy a grade designation somewhere between O-12 and O-13" (i.e. between Fleet Admiral and High Admiral in the Naval rankings). Grand Admirals are O-14.

This week's was called "The Jedi" and episode 3 was "the Heiress" so I think those titles are incorrect

Just watched it again. I just started on Ahsoka’s clone wars sabers and now I’m wanting her new ones as well. This is an expensive hobby.

I’m just hoping no Skywalkers in this series. Have another Jedi answer Grogu’s call.

Boba Fett is back tonight, and they do it brilliantly!

I'm sorry but whoever decided that Stormtrooper armor is merely ornamental needs to be smacked around. What is the point of wearing it? I've heard it said that it instills fear in those against whom the troopers are deployed. Well, I call bullshit, cuz they can't shoot for shit and their armor is made of tissue paper.

Remember the biker scout scene with Grogu? They kept missing at such close range.

Thought it was interesting that when they got hit with the staff there was a blast of little white shards, which made it look exactly like the cheap plastic it really was.

I guess Fett with a ghaffi stick is nobody to screw with

Yeah, I actually felt bad for the storm troopers. . .

Fett was amazing, as was Fennec. I'm really glad they brought back her character.

Great episode.

And no more Razor Crest to satisfy those folks.

I’m glad they went with “low tech” prosthetics.

I'm hooked, onboard, and primed. I like Mando's voice. Not the Darth Vader helmet vibe, but commanding and reassuring. I'm subscribed to Disney mainly just to keep to date with this show.

I started watching season 1 this week and am enjoying it so far.

Anyone else think that based on their happy dance upon seeing each other, R2 was the one who got Grogu out of the Jedi Temple during Order 66.
