I liked it… didn't love it.
Asoka looked great, loved the bait and switch by R2, I thought Luke looked great. Love the character of the Marshall, hated the deputy. Cad Bane looks sweet, but I can honestly say I don't know anything about him. Watching order 66 through the eyes of Grogu. Yoda s lightsaber vs Mandos gift of beskar-mail….. you can have a weapon such as a lightsaber, but you can't have a possession that will protect you is kinda silly…. Reminds me of the gif (why not both)
With 1 episode left I'm afraid there's going to be a lot jam packed into the all out war with the pikes/syndicate.

They can't show it. He shows up for the fight, says he did his thing and then we wait a year to see if it's in Season 3.

That's pretty much my thoughts which I posted last week.
I think Luke/Grogu happens offscreen and then we see it in S3.
I was having a pretty ****ty day today. Decided to git up early and watch. I needed that. My 10 year old self said hello. Outstanding!

Would be really interesting if Mando comes back from his errand and he's pissed as hell or rageful and just is a non-stop MFer during the ensuing battle, then we're left waiting 3/4ths of a year wondering what happened that made him so pissed off when he tried to visit Grogu.
Closing on our new house tomorrow morning, so I can't stay up all night nor watch it immediately after dumping the kids at school. This adulting **** sucks.
Like Grogu, you had a choice to make; a meaningful object that will offer protection, with your family... or the way of the Jedi.
Can you sense Luke's disappointment?
I thought it was really nice of them to throw a couple scenes from the Boba Fett storyline into the latest episode of The Mandelorian.

I am damn near speechless at some of the things we saw. Things we’ve been waiting months, years, even decades for. And! Some VERY cool, surprising Boba-related stuff too. Only 1 more though? Say it ain’t so. pic.twitter.com/9SlxZy7Px2
Simply. Amazing. #BookofBobaFett

So, uh, those of you who know me well enough, know that a few years back I had a bad thing happen to my leg that resulted in a super cool thing happening that involves Star Wars and that has occasionally gotten me some cool insight into little things. So the guy that works at the place that does the thing says that his best friend's brother's girlfriend's sister who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night also saw some production art of the last 1 or 2 episodes of BOBF before it was filmed and relays that the following two spoilered individuals are supposedly going to show up at the war of tatooine.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS INCOMING
Bossk
Cad Bane
You called it.
I knew nothing of Cad Bane before your post, but he's now my favorite "new" character, and they could not have translated him to live action any better. Dude looks so cool and is the first legitimately scary villain of the franchise in a long, long time. I need an entire series with this guy at the heart of it.
And while de-aged Luke still isn't quite "there" yet, man, he looked/moved sooooo much better than he did in the Mando S2 finale. Hiring that deepfake specialist really paid off. To the point where I'm hoping they go back and redo last year's appearance. Whenever Luke wasn't talking, he looked utterly believable/photo-real. And while the mouth movements were certainly improved, that's the only time he still looked a little iffy. But it feels like we're only a year or two away from even that being totally figured out.
It was like the tech advanced a decade in a year. (Okay, half a decade but still.)

It's finally at the "good enough" stage for probably 90% of viewers. I can't wait for the behind the scenes stuff.

I can’t get it out of my mind! That felt like a Jurassic Park/ANH moment paradigm shift!

For the people that will complain about how this wasn't a Boba Fett episode, Cad Bane will show you the door.
The whole slow walk up and eye reveal was great. Need a Cad Bane DLC for Red Dead Redemption

I am avoiding this thread like the plague until I actually get to watch the episode tonight….but dang it I went to IMDB to see the episode rating…..last weeks got a 9.4…..todays got a 9.8!!!
I am going to be SO gosh darn distracted until I get home to watch with the kids….saw the title and we've already had a discussion on who the stranger is coming from the desert….
My oldest said Cad Bane was in an episode of clone wars where the word "stranger" appeared in the title so when I told him Filoni was directing this one then he got really excited….
Argh!!!!!!!!

Holy cow that was nuts. I honestly can't believe these last two episodes are the same show as the ones before. So many intersecting plot lines throughout the Star Wars chronology.
Still get some uncanny valley vibes from Luke but it was a lot better.

We see you, Mark. This was no accident.
I can't wait for the Cad Bane origin movie and that scene with the Imperial recruiter.
Recruiter- Name?
Cad- Cad.
R- Cad what?
C- Just Cad.
R- I can't put only Cad in the system. Who is your clan? Your people?
C- I have no people. I am simply Cad, foe to all and the last enemy that most will ever see.
R- "foe to all and the last enemy that most will see", eh? How about "bane"?
C- .....
R- welcome to the Imperial army, Cad Bane

On a side note, this is another episode where more exciting characters are brought to prop up a boring show otherwise.
But if this is a middle of the season episode, how nice will the season ending be? How many more episodes?
PS- poor one out for the hottest Twi'lek ever. I assume she's a goner.

Luke looked FAR better in this show. Seriously, maybe the best deepfake/CGI I've seen yet.
Loved the small hints at the Force theme and Yoda's theme at the end.
I haven't watched all of Clone Wars save for a handful of episodes, and most of the final season, but it's cool to see those characters pop up in live action.
Ahsoka mentioning Anakin to Luke really hit me for some reason. Loved that.
So what do we think on Grogu? They're teeing it up for him to return to Mando, but it's almost too obvious right?

I was very impressed, especially for extended periods and in broad daylight
Uh wasn't that your prediction too there buddy?
Has to. I feel like more than half the casual viewers think Grogu is the main character.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Bane gives me hope they can make Thrawn look good in live action
This weeks episode was another banger! Seeing Luke, Ashoka, Cad Bane, all of it was fantastic. I also hope Cobb Vanth is around more, I really love his character
No matter what!
