The internet is reading my mind. FB just suggested a click bait article with a title that read something like “How Boba Fett was able to track Din on the Mandolorian.” ScreenRant’s theory is that he had a way to track his armor all along.

Reading your mind or reading your posts?

My daughter just couldn’t get over how stupid it was that Mando took off his jet back and didn’t put it back on. Had he done that, problem solved.

She’s not wrong.

My thoughts exactly. That whole little standoff thing was just a pretense to get his jetpack off.

Yes. Solid episode.

Loved the freshly painted Fett armor, the scene with the officer in the mess hall (Richard Brake makes my skin crawl. Excellent actor!), and the set up (using his own words against him) for the Gideon showdown next week.

Fingers crossed for a longer episode in the finale.

Yup. Intergalactic TPS reports. Of course the empire needs them. Wonder where mando can find some fish guts to slap on top.

Never seen a blaster run out before. That was new.

Maybe it malfunctioned? The empire probably doesn’t give the truck drivers the latest and greatest gear.

And this week's episode was a giant pretense to get Mando's helmet off.

And why were pirates trying to blow up the rhydonium instead of stealing it?

It was entertaining though, but I felt like the episode was filler in a season too short for filler... and would it have been too much to ask for having Fett do something more than fly his ship?

Why the hell tell Gideon he is coming? Hello? Yes. It's any warrior ever calling with this new idea called the element of surprise!

**DJSapp** · 12-14-2020, 02:20 AM

I don't think it was pointless filler. It was solid character development. Mando is changing from a cold-blooded bounty hunter to caring about Grogu, enough to start abandoning the teachings in his upbringing by a bunch of zealots. He now knows there is a lot more to Mandalorian than what he was taught, and Bill Burr's character was just slapping him with the hypocrisy of it all. That deserves some space to grow. He is changing.

And Gideon would have known something was up once it got back to him that Din checked in on an imperial face scan, and then that facility blew up in a firefight after they waxed the CO 5 minutes later. May as well tell him you're coming to ruin his day.

**bodywhomper** · 12-14-2020, 11:08 AM

That episode was also written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa. All the other episodes this season were written by Favreau or Filoni.

Burr’s character planted a few anarchists seeds. The pirates could be a future theme related to derailing the empire rather than stealing from it.

**Woodsy** · 12-14-2020, 12:35 PM

I took the "pirates" as local rebels trying to disrupt the operation so they leave.

**subtle plague** · 12-14-2020, 01:48 PM

i like it so far. especially all the back story relating to star wars rebels, which is actually quite enjoyable for a kids series.

Though i do not understand why the beskar spear woman should know where thrawn is. I mean the (ok that part of rebels is a bit cheesy) space whales jumped off with him and ezra bridger and his star destroyer.

Thrawn, Ezra and the space whales jumped ~25 years ago to points unknown. What he's been up to since then hasn't been revealed, but 25 years is a long ass time when you have a star destroyer and a tactical mind. Apparently Ahsoka believe she's in league with him.
