Was hoping Boba would have been on board when Luke appeared. Luke stops, cocks his head, gives a quizzical smile. Boba nods and says "Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi."DubFalls said:
I would have appreciated a line from Bo that said "Ho, ho, ho, now I have a starship."

That would have been super awkward if Boba had hung around for Luke to show up.
I mean Luke is a big reason he ended up in the Sarkacc Pit haha.

On the flip side, is this a precursor to Luke's arrogance that he can train Ben Solo and rid him of the darkness? Ahoska clearly didn't want to train Grogu because of his connection to Mando. Does Luke think he's beyond that? Or are his thoughts clouded by his love for Yoda and seeing that face again?
You know maybe there is something here. Luke trains Grogu and sends him out to the somewhere far off to deal with things. Then Ben comes around and he thinks this is easy, screws up, and it all causes his withdrawal. I don't really LIKE that but it may be how they "fix" the story.
Lunchtime Friday has quickly become my favorite meal.
I was a little distracted by Luke's CGI.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AWESOME.
I think we all predicted it, but it was still awesome to see the spear-vs-Darksaber fight.
Additionally, they created a nice conflict that made sense with the story and characters. All season they made it explicitly clear that there's no other goals for Mando or Bo. Now that Mando reached his goal, how does he handle Bo and her goals? Will they work together to a solution or will she try to take him out?
Also Mando's actual status is very much in jeopardy. He's shown his face so he's not even technically part of his group anymore right? Plus his clan is down to 1 again. Now he's the ruler of Mandalore and doesn't even want to be, but can't pass on the Darksaber easily.
Bravo for closure and satisfaction and giving us plenty to think about.

"Just once.......I'd like to look on you with my own eyes."

In complete disbelief that they actually went there.
And yet, I know I'm going to get sh*t for this, but I still don't quite know how I feel. Mando and Grogu's goodbye was touching and emotional for sure - that aspect was handled incredibly well - but man, I have to say, Luke looked baaaaaaaaaad. That was maybe some of the worse de-aging effects I've ever seen, worse than anything from even 10 and 15 years ago. It was like they spliced actual Luke face footage from ROTJ and awkwardly grafted it onto another actor, and shoehorned in Luke ROTJ dialogue bits as well. Luke boarding the ship and fighting his way through it was badass, no doubt, but once he revealed himself I was just so distracted by how terrible he looked that it kind of ruined the moment for me.
In fact, after three beautifully shot, incredibly cinematic episodes, this episode as a whole looked like bland, sh*tty, soundstage TV to me. The cinematography was so flat and episodic and the whole thing just felt a bit off in that regard, compared to the amazing trajectory this show has been on. I know my mind is supposed to be melting right now, and I don't mean to rain on the parade, but outside of the super-fan-servicy last two or three scenes, I thought this was one of the worst episodes of the series so far up until that point, for a variety of reasons, where we're once again back to stilted dialogue where no one talks like real human beings, it's a bunch of running through hallway after hallway again, etc.
That said, I'm definitely excited for where things are headed, with Mando now being the owner of the dark saber; from reluctant babysitter to (a potentially) reluctant ruler is a great pivot, especially if there's tension or even an all out war between him and Bo. And I don't even know if I can wrap my mind around The Book of Boba Fett yet. Right now, all I know is that's an AWESOME title, and to have it revealed literally the day after Jeremy Bulloch died is just flat out eerie, but also incredibly cool.
Boo!
So it almost seems inevitable that Kylo kills grogu
Maybe they use the "World between worlds" stuff from Rebels to wipe out the ST from the timeline. Wouldn't that be nice?

Considering Dave Filoni has explicitly said Ashoka is alive despite reaching out to Rey I think it is a safe bet Baby Grogs is still alive and that likely will be used in a post sequel trilogy way
Deadline is saying Book of Boba is separate from Mando season3

But, no one's ever really gone in Star Wars, and in Ahsoka's case, she's really not gone. On Dec. 25, Supervising Director for The Clone Wars, Dave Filoni, tweeted out a special sketch of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, talking to Ahsoka. He's saying, "People thought I was dead too. Look how that turned out." Filoni wrote, "Was thinking of all of you this fine morning, Happy Holidays! Dave."
That seems pretty nebulous that she's alive in the ST
Just think last summer when we heard the rumors - Katee Sackhoff as Bo Katan, Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Temeura Morrison as Boba Fett - we figured there was finally a crack in the armor (pun intended) and the studio. Sure they kept us in the dark about Baby Yoda but now we were getting the good stuff from someone on the inside.
We're all high-fiving and grinning, meanwhile over at the studio, Filoni and Favreau have their poker faces on knowing we have no idea about the Thrawn name drop, the Dark Troopers, the warped clones in the lab, and Luke Freaking Skywalker (and R2).

This guy - Max Lloyd-Jones was the body for Luke.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1682827/?ref_=tt_cl_t14
Matthew Wood, who played Bib Fortuna in TPM and was the voice of General Grievous in ROTS, played Fat Bib.
The two pilots in the shuttle have both been on Agents of Shield, but I have not watched it, so not sure if they are large parts of it or not.
Such an awesome shot.

I like how his role is described in The Mandalorian on IMDB: "Double for Jedi"
"A rare photo of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni writing new episodes of The Mandalorian."
Stolen from reddit, but damn that's good.

I apologize in advance for asking a tech question, but is anybody else having issues getting their Tv to the perfect picture setting to enjoy the show? It tends to be a bit dark for me and I've played with the brightness, etc. I know this is what they call and ID10T error.
I normally don't care to adjust settings, but feel like I'm missing out on the whole experiences. I've googled a bit, but I'm at a loss.
Edit: It seems like scenes in interior settings are tough to adjust for.

I had every toy in that picture except the AT-ST and the alien next to the Gamorrean; can't remember if he's a Barada or a Nikto.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Is it a 4K TV? Sometimes content in HDR is too dark for me, no matter how much I adjust the brightness, so I turn it off.
Yes, it's a 4K TV. I'll give that a shot. Thank you!

OMG
I did not see that coming.
Holy ***** Hallelujah. Where's the Tylenol.
The Luke hallway scene was very reminiscent of the Vader one in Rogue One.
It's about time Luke got his due as a badass on screen.
Where do go from here? Might as well end the series cause it'll never top this.

Did we see anything from Bo after Mof lit her up? Did anyone even go check on her?

She's clearly that teammate that no one is rushing over to help up after they take a hard foul.
Well good golly that was epic!

I have to disagree about the ball. That final shot was PERFECT. Luke standing framed in the elevator (far enough away that he didn't look terrible), holding Grogu, with R2 at his side - then the elevator door shuts and we smash to black - that was absolutely iconic. Having Grogu force grab the ball in that moment would have completely ruined it, IMO.
Would be the equivalent of facing down an army of AT ATs and then "gettin that dirt off ya shoulda"
Wasnt Bo herself just given the Darksaber by Sabine Wren? That part was weird to me.
There are definitely some awesome parts of this episode but also some parts that were weird... kinda The Last Jedi of episodes for me.
EDIT: I see some other folks have already said that, this thread moves fast
