@@zeroryuj6093 Granted, even in KOTOR (where Mando'a first appeared) you rarely see Mandalorians speak Mando'a beyond just using some minor terms or quotes. It's pretty clear that the language died out at some point, and is now in the same boat as Latin, being used for cultural purposes rather than as a living language. Maybe it could get the Hebrew treatment, but in a galaxy as interconnected as Star Wars, it's unlikely. Especially with the adoption of random people into the clans, who would all be fluent in Basic. The Clone Wars Mandalorians are still my favourite depiction, because they show a natural consequence of what a warrior culture will have to end up. Either embrace an actual civilized way of life, like Satine and her New Mandalorians did, or end up being a despised collection of terrorists like Death Watch. People who adored Mandalorians (way before the show) were always ignoring that in every depiction they were fucking villains - raiding and pillaging and being an all around worse bunch of people than the Empire.

zeroryu J mando'a is spoken on the clone wars, satine talks to a deathwatch suicide bomber in mando'a once. There are multiple mando episodes in clone wars and mando'a is spoken once. Mando'a is also spoken once or twice in rebels. Funfact one of the songs on book of bobafett is sung in mando'a (when boba finds the tuskens dead). They remember it, they just don't use it for some reason

Bo Katan, by being a part of Death Watch in Clone Wars, plays a big role in the fall of Mandalore. Death Watch wanted to overthrow the Mandalorian ruler in order to make Mandalore a planet of warriors, as the general population had fallen away from being warriors. Maul taking over not only split Death Watch in two, but also split the larger Mandalorian populous. This means that Bo Katan is one of the main people that was directly involved in bringing Mandalore’s downfall. Unfortunately we never see any of that addressed in this show. By all accounts (if the creators gave even a single shit about good writing) with how much Bo talks about hating Mandalorians killing and fighting each other, you’d think it would be a huge plot point that various Mandalorian factions blame her for how scattered they are. She might even blame herself in some manner. But we never touch on it ever…Thanks for forgetting about your own past work Dave, very cool. Edit: I forgot that because of what this episode reveals, Bo Katan essentially fucked Mandalore over in two separate major events, both of which were largely her fault.

Which I think was the plot from Obi-Wan, that they used a lot of moral baiting to capture/kill jedi and promote fear/empire loyalty. And they likely used the underground railway to isolate and move people off-world for recruitment and processing, preventing local rebellion or militia's taking in potential Jedi children or loyalists/renegades. Especially since grogu transposes from infant, to toddler, to teenager as the scene demands it... I would imagine he's more likely to be a 5-6 year old equivalent (Yoda being ~900, Grogu being ~50), should be able to talk and mature as the situation evolves and feels comfortable surviving and adapting. But, they never want that to happen, so it's going to be difficult to get progress or growth. My pet theory is that Grogu is an escaped clone of Palpatine, which explains why he can't talk, or people would notice him saying "good, gooood" ... now we know who Rey's Father is, sic. It was Grogu behind the empire all along! WRITING! It would be somewhat more exciting than the Dark Forces + imperial remnant thing going on now.

They had defeated most of the imperial forces on Mandalore as well, but apparently no mandalore lost and Sabine's family just died horribly lol! I Wonder if Sabine will comment on the rebellion abandoning her home that she primarily brought into the war. Since we now know she's going to be in the Ahsoka tv show.

Rags talking about how no one uses armor in the SW universe made me think of ANOTHER unresolved/unacknowledged plot point in Clone Wars. The Zillo Beast was a 60,000 TON creature that a battle on Malastare woke up and agitated. iirc after winning against the Separatists in that battle, the Republic then had to take down the Zillo in order to escape or some nonsense. Regardless, Chancellor Palpatine sent lots of people and resources to investigate the beast afterward because its hide was impenetrable to lightsabers. He had its body brought back to Coruscant to be studied and they did the whole evil grin bullshit implying he wanted to use it for something but it has never come up again.

Good point. It’s mouse time tho😢

Even post-clone wars in Rebels (canon and written by filoni) Mandalore is still an actual society split into different feudal clans, some of whom are loyal to the Empire (the cult isn't a thing yet), and someone named Sabine Wren steals the darksaber from Maul, journeys back to Mandalore and starts a Mandalorian rebellion, eventually giving Bo Katan the darksaber to unite the clans against the Empire. Sabine also invented a super walker in her past that specifically targets beskar and vaporises anyone wearing it, all of which happened before the purge, and yet NONE OF THIS IS EVER MENTIONED.

Man, Paz was so unlucky that the preatorian guards didnt have their weapons disappeared.

I think Paz knew the Inverse Ninja Law is in affect for Mandalorians, so that if everyone stayed, they would have all died, but him alone as a single Mandalorian might actually have a chance.

General Grievous is a normal human that was augmented with cybernetic enhancements and was the most famous Jedi killer at the time.

@@flatbread42 It depends upon the force sensitivity of the Jedi in question, and I haven't stated that they are untouchable, merely that in a 1v1 non-force users stand no chance whatsoever, unless the force sensitive person is weak or untrained. In most cases, Jedi are killed through being overwhelmed, and often through ambush where even their precognitive intuition won't be fast enough to save them - Obi Wan is almost hit by artillery in Episode 3, he wasn't prepared for it, and the projectile speed was faster than he and his mount could account for. I never said that they have a television screen in their head that shows them the future, it is instinctive response to things that haven't happened yet and perceiving things in their environment that normal people can't. Grievous is a terrible example, given that he is cybernetically enhanced to a superhuman level in terms of strength, speed and reactions which allows him to "fake" force user fighting prowess. He should have been more vulnerable to telekinesis than he was portrayed, but other than that he is not "a regular person". I think that it's frankly laughable from a canon perspective that a trained sith apprentice as powerful as Darth Maul would struggle against a regular dude who hasn't trained to use a lightsaber in a lightsaber duel. Period. Even if he is deliberately suppressing his precognition, which let's say he can do and is inclined to do out of honour, lightsabers are not a weapon that normal people can effectively use because they are really lightweight compared to any standard weaponry, normal people don't train with them, and they require superhuman reflexes to utilise effectively. I say this as a long-time Star Wars fan. Mandalorians can be very cool if done right, but their advantage was never defeating the Jedi on their own terms, it was the asymmetry of the Mandos playing to their own strengths, cunning use of tech, tactics, mobility, armour and weaponry that the Jedi would struggle to deal with. Jango only dies to Mace Windu because his jetpack gets broken in the chaos of battle by a rampaging Reek, and also the battle is not fought on his terms, he is reacting, he screws up, and he pays the price.

@@flatbread42 Fair enough, I haven't watched the Clone Wars (past the first season) nor the Rebels continuity, and frankly, the Mandalorian has made me doubt whether I should bother doing so. The quality of the writing does sound slightly better, but I do suspect that there are real tisms in there. Favreau and Filoni are great with putting in Star Wars Easter Eggs, but not a whole lot else.

People who genuinely like the Mandalorian are the type to be entertained by slapping their action figures together, like Big Helmet in Spaceballs. “Did you see anything?!” “No sir, I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again!” “Good!”

My theory as to why people are turning on this season in particular is. 1) They undid Mando and Baby Yoda separating which was a high point for many fans and it introduced us with great many possibilities as to what could happen next and they undid it in a show about Boba Fett (a show not many people watched and now those who watched don’t give a shit about it). 2) I think people are finally starting to realize that it’s been 3 whole ass seasons and not only we didn’t get ANY character development done for neither of our main characters, there is absolutely zero character in our main characters. For example yeah Baby Yoda is a baby but babies have personalities and not to mention that Baby Yoda witnessed Jedi massacre at the temple AND most importantly he was cognizant enough to understand that what was happening is very bad. I mean seriously how much more impactful it would’ve been if when Mando turned Baby Yoda in to the remnants of Empire and as soon and Baby Yoda saw stormtroopers he started to cry and have panic attack to the point where Pershing had to sedate him. But no he a baby goo goo gaa gaa. And Mando too , literally all we know is he witnessed his village/city/planet? Get raided by the Separatists and had his family killed by the droids and that’s why he hates them but what does he think about the clone wars as a whole? What does he think about republic and the Jedi that fought against said droids? We literally know nothing and it’s been 3 FUCKING SEASONS. Even now Mando found an old Separatist loyalist who still believed in the ideas of the faction that ruined his life and all he has to say (after Bo electrocutes him because he shouldn’t be allowed to do that) “Politics… imma right or imma right lol”.

In Rebels, Maul did meet with Obi-Wan. There was more character in that short scene compared to the entire show. Call back to the different forms he used and ending with 3 swift moves Edit: Also I like how they started with a conversation and Maul asking why this planet in specific, leading to a realization that Obi Wan was protecting something, or someone. Only then did Obi Wan prepare himself for a fight to protect Luke. And after Maul is cut down he ask if "he" aka Luke is the chosen one.

What is important is that Palpatine ended up secretly trying to use those scales to upgrade the clone armour, so that using the clones against the jedi during Order 66 would be more successful. It didn't work, but it showed Palpatine was aware how useful lightsaber proof material was when facing enemies such as the Jedi. So why not use Beskar? Mandalore is a nuetral faction during the clone wars but Death Watch certainly wasn't, they were often aligned with Dooku and had no love for the Jedi. More than that, they were a terrorist group who could certainly benefit from selling it to someone with pockets as deep as Dooku/ Palpatine. If not that, you'd at least think Palpatine would be extremely interested in Mandalore and that resource. Hiring bounty hunters to steal Beskar from Mandalore? No. Pushing for the invasion of Mandalore from either the Republic or Separatist side of the war? No. Just straight up trying to buy it with your vast riches? Nah, sounds too hard. Trying to pry the scales off a pissed off force Godzilla who actively wants to kill you specifically? Sure, why not, great idea.

Hell, Palpatine should have just been able to announce he kicked Maul's ass back when Maul was Mandalore and thus should be the rightful ruler to the gulliable Mandalorians with how stupid the dark saber rules are.

Fun Fact: The Wood Duck do make their nests in trees near water, sometimes a mile away from a water source. They are the only North American Duck that makes 2 broods a year and after hatching, ducklings would have to jump down to the ground to make the journey to the water. The research for this fact was FAR more interesting than sitting through this episode.

I feel like it would be the easiest thing in the world to design a chest plate for IG12 that looked like the front of a Mandalorian helm that would slide up or down in combat and protect baby Yoda while allowing him to see…

That would actually be a somewhat neat idea, which is precisely why Disney didn't go with it.

I wonder what this Mandalorian feast looks like, a big table with food, everyone gets their own portions and goes to their room to eat there alone? Because according to Episode 4, this is what every Mandalorian meal looks like. Also, every drink is blue, except for the one that is blue by lore? LOL

I like how MauLer says the words “Comment Showcase” it just brightens up my day and brings me happiness. 😁

Paz is just gonna come back because he got stabbed in the stomach- and everyone knows that Mandalorians have 2 of those. On a side note; after watching through the Mandalorian a while back, I've come to the conclusion that Filoni and Favreau are massively overrated as writers. They _are_ capable of making good stories and writing decent characters (though even Ashoka got ruined by the World Between Worlds in Rebels), but they do it far too inconsistently to ever deserve the amount of praise they get from the fans. Filoni might be the 'successor' or 'heir' to George Lucas, but he's only the successor to the bad writing choices- and though both Filoni and Favreau are capable of imitation, they don't match the quality of even the prequels, let alone Andor or the original trilogy.

This is all true and I'm glad that more people are realizing it. I realized it a couple years ago, but I, too, gave them too much credit in the beginning.

I've said this many times before - the Disney Canon Mandos are *nothing* like they were in the EU. A lot of the traditions and culture presented in Canon only first appeared in this brain dead show and were never a thing before - the helmet rule is a prime example of that. And old Mandos were many things but they distained mystical "Jedi Weirdness" - so these cosplayers relying on visions and 'Magic Lightsaber Rules' is just so anti-Mandalorian. Speaking of; the Dark Saber was suddenly made "The Dark Excalibur" by Dave in his Rebels show, which came completely out of left field. In TCW it was just a war trophy that the Mandalorians took from the Jedi Temple, presumably during the Great War between the Republic and Sith Empire (*because that's the only time when Mandalorians took part in an assault on the Jedi Temple). Then again, Dave can't keep any of his shows consistent with each other - like there suddenly being Ancient Mandalorian Noble Houses in Rebels which somehow existed the same time as Mandalore going pacifist during TCW and got rid of their warrior castes.... In the EU, there was Mandalore's Mask, which for a time each Mandalore (aka; King of the Mandalorians) would take from the last one when they are KIA'd or MIA'd and then wear it as the Mando equivalent of a crown. It was eventually lost to the ages and the Mandos just moved on from it because, again, the old Mandos weren't these superstitious retards that the show tries to glorify (Funfact, in the EU, Boba Fett (some time after crawling out of the Sarlacc Pit) became Mandalore himself and last I read anything about him from the EU, he spent his last few decades training his estranged granddaughter to take up the Fett family legacy). Also Beskar was never F@cking Adamantium before this bloody show. It was high grade good quality armor made from an Alloy (not a mineral) that Mandalorians knew how to smith - and it was a tradition that every Mandalorian had to craft or inherit their own set of armor themselves. But again; it was good armor, not F@cking plot armor (and Beskar weapons were never taboo either - they were very common among the Mandos). If you wanted Lightsaber Proof armor, you'd get something like Cortosis - which could very much F@ck up a Lightsaber, but the trade off was that the metal was very, very brittle and was practically cardboard to anything that's not a Lightsaber (and that's why you added it other metals as an alloy to make Lightsaber *resistant* weapons and armor).

The Heir to the Empire books are heavily focused on the main cast of Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando etc and what their place in the galaxy is now in a post empire world. Thrawn then comes in as a threat to the new republic. Whatever movie Filoni is working on can only really be Heir to the Empire by name (if he he is going to go down that road), unless we got some cgi abominations of the OT gang interacting with Ahsoka, the Rebels characters and Mando lol. Consider as well how easily Thrawn could be fucked up by this level of writing we're getting out the Faverau/Filoni projects.

WDW Pro does an interesting video and they talk about what happened after the Season 2 finale of Mando. Lucasfilm was so pissed everyone was so happy Luke was back they decided to shelve him once and for all. It is quite eye opening. It explains a lot about season 3 of Mando and the weird 2 episodes in Book of Boba Fett.

But there were "too many" of them, apparently. He then kills all of them in 60 seconds then the sequel trilogy shows up and murders him. So if all the mando's had stayed and fought, they would have easily won. We need to remember that the people writing this are the very top of the tier of their field. This is Disney, not some youtube show with 3 subscribers and I would make the case that the YT show would do a better job. This is the way.

it’s hilarious how terrible the Mandos are at capitalizing on a choke point. there’s no way these people aren’t partially inspired by Spartans and they can’t even copy that. this happened in season 2 with the edgy droids stuck in a narrow corridor. just use the darksaber on them Mando. now you have this guy needing to “sacrifice” himself for some reason despite how strategically terrible it would be for the troopers to follow you.
