I love how the other Mandalorians call Dinn "not a true mandalorian" while Bo spends the whole episode seeing how Dinn is more Mandalorian than even herself in some aspects.

Din and Bo compliment each other's skills so well. I see her being the leader, but Din being her top advisor/General. This is made very clear in this episode when Bo asks for Din's opinion.

I'm surprised how few people noticed that Bo literally pulled a punch against Axe. She retracted her wrist blade, punched him near his neck, then slid it back out again. She actively chose not to kill him in the middle of the fight, even though he was trying to kill her.

One thing that might be important to come back from this episode is the fact that the planet they helped will support Bo-Katan's Mandalorian government, giving it more legitimacy on the galactic stage. That might prove VITAL to Mandalore's survival in the long-run

I see Din Djarin's role as more Knight of the Round Table following the Code of Chivalry for all Mandalorians.

I love seeing the things Din has learned in the past come back, and now we know why Kuill acted so odd his entire species is like that, and Din respected him enough to learn his customs to a point where he can communicate with others like kuill

11:58 - Aaron's reaction to the needle is hilarious... "I don't know how to feel!"

Nobody has talks about the fact we had Alice in wonderland in space. The table with Jack Black was just this crazy thee party with all these crazy aliens, and the game in the end was just the Queen from Alice in wonderland playing the cricket game. Straight up cheating (here with grogu) and the people just cheering! I loved that aspect of the show.

The sun going down while they react looks so cool when you scrub through the time bar!

I really love the depiction of why droids don't minding helping, because most organics are short lived and don't ask that much in the grand scheme of things Refreshing when you keep getting the "technology turning against the creator" stuff Really love when Star Wars delves deeper into the droids and their relationships with organics Like ZO-E3 in Vader Immortal or L3-37 from Solo

I appreciate the dedication of the Blind Wave crew to travel 4,000 miles away from home, but still maintain their integrity to film in a location with lots of random background noise.

This feels like a live action Clone Wars episode. Full of silly shenanigans and I love it.

Thank you, I've been very confused about some of the reactions to this episode. You three embody and understand the Star Wars universe with empathy and are able to look deeper while also still simply having fun. Appreciate it a lot!

I love the look Bo gives Din when he starts with the "I am Mandalorian Din Djarin..." bit, and, the good cop/bad cop dynamic between the two of them is great.

Bo-Katan: "I accept this sword for my sister, for my clan, and for all of Mandalore"

This was a baffling episode. Not because of the episode itself, but because I had heard some negative things about it. I was going in expecting something dull or idiotic. But it was absolutely delightful. One of my favorite episodes of the season.

I love watching them react and talk about it. Twitter gets so toxic when it comes to Star Wars, and for them to love Star Wars and can find the good in any Star Wars contact, as myself can, is great to see.

6:48 Love how Aaron and Calvin had in sync gasps when they saw CL 😂

It's crazy to see an actual passage of time through the window.

This episode felt like a clone wars episode we get before a big event happens. Like a side mission, it was nice

This episode was SO fun! I just love more world building, especially when it contributes to the individual time periods in the ongoing saga; plus who doesn’t want more Grogu cuteness?! I just realized this episode had a theme; three separate unlikely relationship, starting with the runaways, Jack Black’s character being rehabilitated and falling in love with a Royal, then Din and Bo supporting each other in the end. Oh, and of course Grogu and Lizzo! 🥰

This is the kind of episode Lucas loves lol! Fans will either love or hate/dislike this episode.

It's always funny to see how Chistopher Lloyd is perceived. You guys were like "Doc Brown!"... I was like "Father Jim!"

You guys are a breath of fresh air, so many people have no patience anymore and I'm glad you guys see the show like I do. Was I expecting a buddy cop irobot combo, no was it fun and found interesting ways to advance the story, absolutely. Setting up answers to future problems.

Dang, Rick must be feeling pretty unwell. Hope he feels better soon. Edit: They messaged me on Insta saying ‘He’s settling in! It’s a big change for him,’ so I’m thinking it’s anxiety maybe. Hope he gets to enjoy London 🙏🏻

Din never wanted the responsibilities of the dark saber. He just wants to unite the Mandalorian factions for self preservation than he's off on another adventure.

This episode was so good. I didn't make the connection to how much it felt like a Clone Wars episode until you said it, and it does, must be why I loved it so much. I am a sucker for the b1 battle droids anytime they show up. This was amazing fun.

Hey some interesting references : 1) Plazir is same pronunciation of "plaisir" in french which means "Pleasure". 2) The dôme inspiration is in fact the American Architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, who design the American Pavillon of Expo67 at Montréal, Canada in 1967, where people can arrive per train in the dome. Theme of the universal exhibition was "Terre des Hommes/ Man and His World" - based of the novel of Saint-Antoine Exupéry (Petit Prince's author), which related Humanist values for an ideal world of peace. 3) Also, Captain Bombardier, who could be translated as Captain Bomber, can be related to J.Armand Bombardier (french canadien, province Québec) perfectionnated the snowmobile (skidoo) by inventing the chain treadmill, more efficient as propulsion on the snow. Bombadier cie elaborate also seadoo, airplain and they are reknown for their trains (subway, tramway)... =)

Probably one of the most "Lucas' prelogy" vibe episode, and I'm here for it like I'm here for everything else Star Wars.

I believe there was an explanation for the change in the B1 voices/personalities. I think it was Clone Wars that showed us a scene of some B1s talking about how after Anakin blew up the command ship, they were upgraded to individual thought, which gives them the ability to form their own personality.

I liked seeing the time change behind you guys as the reaction went on lol

I LOVED your reaction! This was such a fun wonderful episode! I think if there were more than 8 episodes people might have been more relaxed and enjoyed the journey this episode took us on. Thank you for your sincere and genuine love of Star Wars ❤️❤️ have fun in London❤️

I enjoyed the main part of the episode; it showed that they are stronger together, if it was Bo on her own she wouldn't have been able to complete the investigation. Din's experience with the Ugnaughts and battle droids helped them gain clues, while Bo was more even-tempered with the droids, and they stopped the battle droid by shooting it at the same time. My main issue with the low-key transfer of the darksabre is that they never seemed to revisit the Armorer's comments in BoBF about him struggling with it because he was distracted (which feels like it might have been because he knew he'd removed his helmet, but he used it so briefly in this episode it's impossible to know if that was it).

My wife pointed out to me that one of the tables of droids are the same kind as R3X (RX-24), the former pilot of the original Star Tours ride, and currently the DJ at Oga’s Cantina on Batuu (Galaxy’s Edge)

Have a great time in the UK! EDIT: It was really cool to see the London skyline evolve as the sun set in this reaction. Damn great setting.

This is honestly my favorite episode of the season. I know people want to get to the point, but it's episodes like this that got me into The Mandalorian and Star Wars in the first place. So much fun and I loved seeing pieces of this sci-fi utopian world.

Don't mind this, just me rambling... Not sure why people would consider episodes like this filler when a lot of important things happen that can and will come back around. -new allies, an entire planet in fact, that will help reestablish mandalore on an galactic politics level -they have battle droids: reminds us of the clone wars and the different ideologies involved. Also Din's position toward droids in general. They could also become a bigger problem, at least the nano droid nepenthe stuff might. After IG-11 earlier this season and this episode, reprogrammed droids seem a bit of a recurring theme (btw maybe we can get IG repaired here?) There is still the open thread of dark troopers, that will likely come back with Gideon, important to keep in mind, bc they are hard to deal with, maybe not if you can just give them reprogramming juice -it seems like a small thing, but Grogu is flaunting his force powers more and more, not at all hesitant to potentially out himself. He is less afraid and growing stronger, his training with Luke paying off. his title as knight could also be leveraged in the future, he is sort of a connector, linking the new Jedi, Mandalorians and now others. Kinda taking after Din: -we see Din's expertise in communication again with the Ugnaughts, of course reminding us of previous seasons when he talked to other species. He gets how different people think, much better than Bo, meaning he will be crucial to her success in bringing together the Mandalorians and probably also in raising forces (including the new republic perhaps) against the enemy, when just mando firepower won't be enough -Obviously we do advance the story and learn what the fleet has been up to, doubling down on the question if they were hired to free Gideon or if they were framed -Bo's desire to reclaim and unite mandalore fully reawakens, she takes her fleet back and gets the Darksaber without directly fighting for it after refusing this before. -the mandalorians accept it showing they are more flexible in their rules than assumed and possibly open to other changes like more democratic/shared leadership -they also accept Din as Mandalorian once Bo talks about their ancestors. He is no longer a zealot cultist to them, mostly. -however not all in the group might be happy with these developments and start more infighting and intrigue. So yeah, I think this episode had a lot of interesting potential seeds for later. It might not have been the most exciting for some, understandable, but unlike movies, in a show like this we get to take time to set things up and have some breathing space after the action packed last episodes before shit inevitably hits the fan again. Personally, I like it a lot. The theories and discussions that arise and the resulting anticipation of what happens next are fun to me. I have spoken.

I’m so glad they liked this episode. These guys are who I look to for when it comes to Star Wars facts/opinions. They understand world-building and how some side questlike episodes are good. Love ya Blind Wave!

Man your take on this episode is so refreshing. I’m getting real tired of people hating on the show because plot isn’t spoon fed to them like a baby

That other ship with the Gauntlets and the Light Cruiser is that cargo freighter they hit with Din in the second season, when they first met. I forgot that that ship didn't get destroyed, and they totally just flew off with it.

Kind of weird to me that so many people are confused about/don't know what the story of the season is supposed to be when it so clearly seems to be about Din and Bo experiencing personal growth, developing their leadership skills, and unifying the Mandalorians, juxtaposed against the struggles (and the inevitable failure) of the New Republic. They're bringing their people together and making alliances with others around them. That's going to be important when they have to start confronting Imperials like Gideon when the New Republic won't.

A weird silly but fun episode that reminds me so much of The Clone Wars. I also love how Din basically became the bad cop when dealing with the droids. I literally said “your racism is coming out Mando” 🤣🤣

First the Beskar Spear and now the Darksaber; Mando Now Really needs a new Melee Weapon. {Here's to hoping when he joined back up with the covert, the Armorer restocked him with new whistling birds}. Or at least a new melee weapon along with/besides his Vibro-knife.

The reflection of the TV in the background was actually really helpful to hone in on exactly what parts you are watching when you don't show the footage side by side. It's really useful.

What I love about our Mando is that he's a roaming gunslinger like Clint Eastwood, not some legendary "figure of destiny" with a mightly lineage or fated to rule or influence galactic events. He's "The Mandalorian", he's iconic and he can show up anywhere whether it's a dust-town, a forest or a futuristic city and look awesome. He can meet and interact with the huge names, like Luke or Ahsoka, and it will never feel out of place. And his great legacy will be in the upbringing he gave to Grogu. I'm really happy he's given up the dark saber, I'm really enjoying following a character that isn't "the chosen one", he's just a roaming badass trying to do the right thing

Bryce Dallas Howard does some of the best episodes each season

I weirdly love how we could see it getting darker outside as the reaction went on

“human life is so short - they don’t ask that much of us. organics created us, it’s the least we could do.” 😢😢

Does Din need to get a new weapon next episode? He seems to be light on weaponry now days (lost his Rifle, Spear and now Dark Saber)

Loved seeing the sky turn from day to night in the span of the reaction haha

6:48 the unanimous gasp is SO sweet 😂

Maaan. Eric. Thank you for that 'Anakin's sacrifice' rant at the end. 😢 Making me tear up like an idiot

Character wise it feels like this was another episode for Bo and Din to connect together more which I totally ship it!

i live for Calvin's laugh.

Thank you Wave Riders, I'm glad you guys appreciate the nuances of episodic television over movie reviewing 🖖😎👍

This episode felt like something out of the Clone Wars

Adam from Heroes Reforged said something about the beskar remnant in Mof Gideon's transport that I hadn't thought of and that's the beskar spear was a weapon created (which is not allowed from their creed) and that was from a magistrate that was working for Thrawn. So, it would make sense that Thrawn could be behind the extraction and using the beskar to frame the Mandalorians either on purpose or if any evidence was left behind.

This episode reminded me also alot of that one Star Wars FFG RPG Adventure "Debts to pay" with a small droid revolution on a mine asteroid. And i got so much ideas from that episode and had so much fun watching it.

You guys' take on this series is so refreshing. I can never understand fans who get mad when they get more Star Wars at the expense of the plot not blasting through to conclusion. The world building and characters are what makes this series fun and the more time I get to spend with Mando, the better.

Glad im not alone in enjoying this episode it was nice to see a positive outlook on the story .

the idea of droid rights is always something that interests me and thought about it alot this ep, tbh when Din was kicking the super battle droids i lowkey was like "i want one to just smack him like 'fuck off'"

I'm glad to see people who enjoyed this episode. In all honesty, I am not among them. While I do respect the people who like these kinds of episodes, I wish they could also respect those who didn't. I see a lot of people in this comment section telling anyone who had grievances that they're wrong or just don't get it. Everyone should be entitled to their opinions and the fact that there can be disagreement shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, as long as it can lead to actual discussion. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work.

Great reaction and analysis of course, but I also LOVE how the cityscape in the background plunges into the dark.

Not only did you guys give a positive review but you guys did so by spitting facts. I appreciate that because I liked the episode, too

Best backdrop you’ve ever had! Hope you’re enjoying your visit. That was one crazy episode and I’m not sure about it. I do like Bo and Din working together as they complement each other. Never thought Din would be the one with people skills: character growth.

It was cool seeing the day turn to night behind the crew for this reaction! Thanks for making time to watch while in London!

I believe "diplomacy/diplomat" was the word Calvin was searching for. 8:36

This was an odd episode but fun: always good to see Mercedes, Bo-Katan & Mando playing good cop & bad cop respectively, didn't see Jack Black & Lizzo coming, Doc Brown being crazy. Have fun a Celebration boys; "I have spoken."

To address the comment about Mando/Grogu splitting and the ST ruining Anakin's sacrifice, I believe two things can simultaneously be true. I can agree with Eric that, yes, a significant moment was clearly Din showing Grogu his face, briefly turning his back on his creed to express his love for Grogu. I also think it's true that a part of that significance was forcing Din, who'd gone from merely taking Grogu as a quarry to genuinely loving him and treating him like a son, to separate from Grogu and have to grow (at least for a time) without him by his side. I think people were interested in seeing how both characters change when they no longer have the other by their side. Likewise, I think a moment of interpersonal significance with Vader can be saving his son when he couldn't save others he loved, while a larger significance can be Anakin finally emerging from Vader, toppling the evil within him, and finally ending the reign of evil that was Palpatine. Both can be true and important, just for different reasons.

The simultaneous gasp to Christopher Lloyd was sp good 😂

This background almost makes me wish you were doing all your reactions from London 😂

I like the way Eric stated that. Luke asked Vader for help and Anakin answered.

Whatever I personally thought of Chapter 22, your enthusiasm for this episode is infectious! Hope you enjoy London.😊

This was an amazing episode. I really liked this one a lot and I thought it was great. And it was off the walls crazy with some of the things they did and with the people that showed up. But despite how weird this one was at times I felt like everything about it was just so great in every aspect. The the story, the action and the interactions between Mando and Bo-Katan made this episode even more amazing. I also loved the score for this episode, it gave us both that classic Mandalorian theme that we love and some action, thriller sounding themes. And the set design for the locations in this was so amazing. Plazir 15 just looked so beautiful and lived in through out the entire thing. Also the giant domes of the city did kind of look like the Epcot Ball. Right at the start it was really cool to see Axe Woves and Koska Reeves again after their last appearances since Season Two. Especially since Axe Woves actually got to be a fully fledged character this time around. It was also really cool to get to see another large group of live action Mandalorians. And I really liked how seeing as these use to be Bo-Katan’s fighters they all seem to follow the “Clone Wars design” were basically all the Mandalorians had the same design. And oh my God Jack Black was in this episode! This was a massive surprise, I am so happy that he was in this. And to me this was honestly one of those Star Wars cameos you didn’t know you needed until it happened. Also I think he played his role perfectly, his line delivery alone sold me on how much he fit the part. And with another surprise cameo for his episode, we got Christopher Lloyd! After almost a year of speculating what his role could be in this show he finally appeared. And you know what, call me crazy, but I loved his speech and I wanted to hear the rest of it. I find it so interesting that he was a Separatist that not only resisted against the Republic but against the Empire too. I also find it interesting how lately in Star Wars they keep bringing up the point “Dooku was right” first Tales of the Jedi, then Bad Batch now this, I wonder if this is building up to something. I really liked the scene between Din and the Ugnaughts, not only does it show that Din still thinks about Kuiil and his time with him but also that Din was able to pick up on a bit of their culture from him. I also really liked getting to hear “I have Spoken” again. I also loved being able to see Battle Droids in live action again, I thought they looked great and listening to that one speak with Bo was so fun to watch. I also loved seeing just how much Mando hates these droids, from just the second he laid eyes on them you could tell that he wanted to destroy them all. And it’s very poetic that the majority of the Battle Droids here were B2 Super Battle Droids seeing as how they were the ones that destroyed his village and killed his parents. Then we get to see the fight between Bo-Katan and Axe Woves which was so awesome. The choreography felt so great whether it was them going hand to hand, fighting with their knives, or using other weapons in their arsenal it felt awesome throughout the entire thing. I also really liked the various ways they were able to use their jetpacks throughout the fight. And I loved this episodes finale scene where Mando gives Bo the Darksaber. Not only was it great to hear how Din was able to find a loophole in the Darksaber logic but also that Bo-Katan is finally getting rightfully wield the Darksaber. I can’t wait to possibly see her use it more in action and that if now that she has rightfully won it, will the rest of the Mandalorians join and follow her. I really just enjoyed this episode a lot. It was so amazing in every aspect and served as a great action packed thriller. I am super curious to see where the rest of the story will lead the Mandalorian and Grogu and what will happen in next week’s episode. This is the Way…I Have Spoken

Off topic, but I’m digging your choice of sitting in front of the window. Transition from day to night is pretty awesome.

Napenthe was a 'drug of forgetfulness' in Homer's The Oddysey

Watching while on the train to celebration! Great start to the day

I never even imagined Jack Black in Star Wars, but I’m not at all disappointed. Great Scott! What an episode.

My boy Mando lost the spear and now the blade probably doesn't even have much wistling birds left he needs a new awesome weapon to make up for this!!!

This was a great episode, I don't care what anyone says. Btw, I hope to bump into you on the celebration

Woo! Another fun one! Can't wait for the Star Wars Celebration VLOG!

i love you can see it go from day light to night time in London behind them out the window as they watch this episode xD its great nice view

The ending of this Episode caught me off gaurd, but overall I loved this episode, a cool return to the we're on a quest, but to do it we gotta do this quest, Just a fun breather episode after two pretty plot driving episodes

1.Din never wanted the dark saber. 2.Paz only interfered to battle Din so Din had to respect that as well. 3. He gave the saber to Bo because he considered her as a friend. They have been strengthening their friendship since episode 2. Din did not want to fight Bo because Din puts Mandalore's survival rather than causing any conflict that could lose their chance to rebuild their home planet. 3. Din's creed teaches him of redemption so he wants that for Bo Katan. Din's character development grows has been growing.

I love seeing the city get darker and darker behind you guys as the video went on. Another stunning episode from Mando. Lots of clone wars vibes.

Nice backdrop of the O2 "Millennium Dome" That airport nearby is the City of London Airport, mostly used by rich short haul flyers..... Hope the guys enjoy their trip to the Excel Centre for the SW Celebration.

I wanted the droids that greeted Bo and Din to be BT-1 and 0-0-0 and for them to be behind the droid revolt.

I find it an interesting dynamic and a bit of a personal headcanon that at the same time the clones were developing their own personalities throughout the war, so too did the B1 battle droids. A nice dynamic especially when you look at how rigid the clone commandos and droid commandos both are compared to their "reg" counterparts.

i love how the day changes behind them from a light afternoon to night throught the video

Their legs are all positioned exactly how I imagined they would be.

If it is elder wand rules then they arent the rightful wielders... Darth Maul was defeated by Palpatine. Palpatine was defeated by Anakin. Anakin died. The recent Darksaber line is lost. So just like in Clone Wars where it had been lost and hidden in the Jedi temple, it is having to find it's line again!

I really enjoyed this episdoe. The biggest weakness of Star Wars is when they play it "safe". How many Mandalorian episodes are just Din Djarin going to a planet and killing a big beastie? Now, I've enjoyed watching Din play monster hunter, but I appreciate that the writers can take advantage of the episodic format and try different styles and stories every now and again.

Best setting for a reaction video I've ever seen ngl

When the fight with the crab/spider-droid happened, i argued back then that this might be seen as Bo's legitimate claim to the Darksaber and wondered why they didn't even mention it in the rest of the episode or even once since then and figured this would have been a great way for Din to get rid of the saber, which he didn't ever really want to have in the first place. Well... somebody better pick up that phone, because i freaking called it! Honestly, this whole season goes completely different than what i thought it would be - and i'm all for it and excited to see where it's going next. Not that i would have minded seeing different Mandalorians battle for the Darksaber, but i'm also kind of glad they side-stepped this whole drama with Din's decision here. Great episode. Loved it. It did, in a way, feel like one of the classic one-off "villain of the week" TCW-episode. Hell, it even had battle droids and Separatists! :D Liked the guest stars, too. And the planet/city looked great. Love how much more of the galaxy we get to see in this season.

Honestly, this episode was worth it to hear Christopher Lloyd say 'ugnaughts' and 'Count Dooku'.

Huh, weird. Saw a man hanging off a.. flying police telephone box outside? Did anyone else see that? No, just me? Oh dear, ah well. Oh look it's (LITERALLY) the eleventh hour.

28:08 - questions like this just show me that some people aren't paying any attention at all and just want to complain over every little detail. The end of the episode was EXACTLY what the armorer told Bo Katan to do -- unite the mercenary Mandalorians with those who follow The Way, and Bo Katan is the one who can do it since she has now walked both paths. It's not a side mission of a side mission, it's literally the main thing that's going on right now! The events earlier in the episode were the mechanism to get Bo and Din to that end-goal.

So excited you guys are in the UK. I really hope you all have a great time over here

The change in background is nice!
