Din wasn't pulled under, the cave lake had a steep drop off so he accidentally stepped into nothingness and sank like a Beskar rock

Remember, it is Din who has always been shown riding beasts since the first episode. Din riding random monsters is part of his theme. It would be a narrative betrayal to rob Din the chance to ride the mythosaur. Maybe Din and Bo can share the hero myth? She can have the sword, he can have the mythosaur.

“As a kid we all have joined domestic terrorist organizations, probably.” 😂 Best line yet in a Generation Tech video. Tip of the cap to Alan for the delivery and to whoever wrote the line.

I think Din has made Bo realise that the Code is a way to reunite her people. The Mythosaur is a way to gain the creditability she needs to become leader. We also have to note that she was using the dark sabre without issue

I think Mandalorians need some reforms to balance out their warrior ways with some or Satine’s peaceful ways. Such as what Jango’s mentor wanted which was for the Mandalorians to be mercenaries instead of conquerors. You’re not fighting for conquest or making the galaxy your most hated enemy and you get to fight still. Its a win win for their people imo.

Dinn didn't get pulled in, he actually fell into the deep end of the pool. He didn't have his jetpack so he couldn't get out with his heavy armor.

I’ve been thinking for a while now that the show’s title might not actually refer to Din, but rather to Grogu. As a foundling, he will be the second Mandalorian Jedi, and will be the one to tame the Mythasaur, inherit his father’s Darksaber, and unite his people like Mandalor the first. He has had the benefit of seeing the galaxy and learning a great deal about things from a wide variety of teachers. He will make an excellent leader when he is ready, and will live long enough to usher in a new age of prosperity to his people.

I immediately think about Avatar the last Airbender when Uncle Iroh protects the last dragons by declaring that he killed the last one when in reality he lied to help them hide away. Don't think that's this mythosaur situation but still, loved seeing the MS

Din was not pulled under, he fell. Pay attention when Bo-Katan jumps in - the stairs suddenly stop at a nearly vertical drop. When she reaches Din, he's not hurt, nothing is holding him down, he simply sank because he's covered in armor and took off his jet pack. When she's pulling him back up and sees the Mythosaur it wasn't aggressive in the least, it just watches them. Din stepped into dark water and wasn't being careful, that's all.

One of the things I took from the 2nd episode was how Grogu is observing his choice played out before him. He left the 'same-old Jedi training' to embrace his own path with the force and attachment to Din. Now before him are BoKatan and Din squabbling about the many paths, the truth, the 'theater', what are we? I thought his sort of eye roll at BoKatan's "what are you looking at" was cute, sure, but it also had to be a bit self-directed as he confronts this new path without the traditions and theater of the Jedi Masters. Maybe I'm looking for more than is there, but I think part of this season will be the reinforcement of Grogu's choice and his willingness to seek that new path with Din and others surprising them all, including himself. He's confronting fears *with* support instead of alone; using attachments to strengthen instead of being told how they weaken a Jedi. Din already knows and has shown him the value of that, perhaps that played a part in Grogu's choice. It's going to be a fascinating season!

At the start and before the start of the season I thought Bo was gonna try to take the darksaber back in any way possible but now she realizes how stupid it is to lead a whole faction just because of a stupid saber

Madolorian lore never sounded nice and sweet to me, but it always sounded cool and badass

9:28 Can't believe that Koska Reeves and Axe Wolves ditched Bo-Katan after she refused to take the Darksaber from Din Djarin.

I burned my finger on a frying pan

The mythosaur at the bottom of the mines kinda gave me Iroh vibes from avatar…like how iroh lied to keep the dragons safe…the last mandorlorian to claim to kill a mythosaur or even mando the great could have lied to keep this one safe

The mythosaur will unite Mandalore unlike the dark saber which only brings out anger and no peace.

I did see that too with Bo Katan , that she was jaded not spoiled. It was only when she said something along the lines of “deal with him for good “ that I briefly questioned her intentions.

Din is just a baby to his own culture, he has such a minimal and childlike knowledge of his people. Bo-Katan is jaded for sure, but I think she is endeared by Grogu and Din’s relationship. I can totally see them getting together to bring everyone else together. Grogu being the Mand’alor with Din and Bo-Katan raising and training him.

You realize, of course, that if ANYONE is going to tame a Mythosaur, it's probably going to be Grogu. Then again, this does seem to be his story in the end.

I don't think he was pulled in. Just that the stairs are missing and he dropped off the edge.

I hope both Bo-Katan and Din tackle with the question what it means to be (a modern) Mandalorian and to what extend (and how) should the Creed be involved in answering that question. Personally, from what I've seen I hope the answer would be: "The Creed is a map and not a blasted rigid mould to which you shape your entire identity, when you get lost, you figure it out with or without the Creed".

Bo Katan swallowing the humble pie.

“Firstly I did not tame the legendary (mythosaur)… it was already tame, I merely shot it”

The Mandolorians have become the Spartans it seems.

I haven't watched Star Wars Rebels, but someone told me that Sabine became Mandalore at some point. That person tried to argue that it makes no sense cause the Mandalorians would never allow that. I told them that the Mandalorians don't really think, if you just promise them honor and violence, they'll usually go along with it. That's how I've always viewed Mandalorians and that's why they irritate the shit out of me.

I was a little on the fence before, but Bo Katan's character grew on me in the second episode, especially near the end. It's been nice watching everyone's character development over time and even across different series

Did Din get pulled down, or did he just step off the last step and fall?

"A lot of mandalorian culture is romanticized but when you think about it, it's kinda messed up...." laughs in Jedi.

Gogurt tamed a rancor so I’m guessing he’ll be the one to tame a mythosaur.

Lies! Deception!

13:34 “a little flap in the armor” Bruh 😂

I think the story twist is Boba Fett becoming the Mandore restoring the True Mandalorian way to all the factions, honor and strength above all else for the greater good of all Mandalorians. He is the only living Mando that can ride large beasts with ease and battle experience with Jedi and all other combatants. Not to mention he is the rightful heir to the throne much like Arthurian legend

🤣 Din isn't pulled under...he stepped off the last step and fell in like a dumbass and his armor dragged him down

“She stayed and faced her past like a man… a WO-man.” Great line!

10:03 Does that make Bo-Katan Alpharius for changing sides too many times?

A year ago, I left a comment after the Mandalorian episode of the Book of Boba Fett suggesting you do a video on the brand new cults in the Galaxy Din Djarin could join now that he is spiritually single. The Warp Zone just made the same video. That's a pity, I really wanted you guys to do it.

I think Bo-Katan will be the one to try and tame or kill the Mythosaur as a way to not fight Din for the Darksaber. Sortve a cop-out way to put Bo back into a leadership position without creating conflict with the protagonist, much like how instead of Boba Fett and Din Djarin fighting against each other they became allies instantly

My favorite thing about the expanded universe/legends Star Wars was that Mandalorians weren’t primarily human they were zabrak, twi’lek, humans and others. Mandalorian culture wasn’t about any one group or race it was about a united family. Yes there were many Mandalore’s and their legacies they left behind. Mandalore the Ultimate was about conquering so that his people could prosper, Mandalore the Preserver was about salvaging and rebuilding what was lost, Mandalore the first was about exploring and overcoming obstacles that we are afraid of. This is the Mandalorian culture that I have loved over the years.

Din didn't get pulled under, his ass tried to step where there were no stairs and his heavy ass armor pulled him down. And he sunk like a rock, that is why he sank so quickly

Mandalorians probably don't procreate because they are not allowed to take their armor off 😂

Frankly, I think this is all Setting up Grogu to be the new leader and Din is just his teacher... maybe his knight in shining armor. There was a point I thought maybe it'd be Boba Fett seeing as he almost has a legit connection with the stuff revealed by his armor's chain code, but apparently he just wants to be a respectable crime boss, so he's basically just a step above Maul. But Yeah Grogu with his soft baby ways could tame the beast, fulfill the prophecy, and lead the 'Mandos with a new balance of all the things he's learned both Din and Bo.

They left off the 'Watch your step' on the tour plaque.

Bo katan is older than din. Remember, Din was a child when he was picked up.

I believe they are called the living waters cause the mithosuars live in the waters

Din should've skinny dipped - but left the helmet on, of course! Surely that's why Bo-Katan guided him there...

They should’ve tried resolving their differences through debating and legislation.

did something REALLY pull him under? or did he fall off the underwater cliff (his armor so heavy)?

Disney: legends is dead (but we're canonising it as we like)

I don't think it will be Bo-Katan or Din who tames the mythosaur. I think it will be Grogu. He tamed a rancor too. As the second Mandalorian Jedi in history (well, to-be, because at the moment he's still neither), Grogu might be the best person to wield the darksaber too. The only problem is: he's too young. Well, he may be 50, but he doesn't talk. Did he just say his first word there? Grogu is clearly up for some long-overdue development.

Mythosour vs Zilo Beast Kaiju battle in Mando is coming and I'm hyped! It cannot be a coincidence that we just saw the Zilo beast in the Bad batch last week and the Mythosour this week. In either this season finally or next we are definitely getting a battle between the Mandalorians and an Imperial remnant who will field a Zilo beast in the battle. If thrawn is involved he might have brought the zilo beast to the battle on the off chance the Mythosour from mandalors art and story's would infact come into the fight. After the Bendu predicted he defeat by the Pergil he won't take prophecy lightly going forward.

Great vid GenTech. I always enjoy your content.

Great men do not seek to gain power. Power is thrust on them.

*There are definitely some things that the entire Mandalore people need to have a sit down talk about how they can agree to still.come together when needed & even help rebuild their culture in its entirety. Every group believes something different than the others. This many of us can agree on when it comes to religion within our own reality. But, even so, some religious groups still look out for one another even with those different beliefs. This is what I believe the Mandalorians should look to do moving forward.*

The thing about the romanticism of the Mandalorians is that like you said Alan it is not too far fetched. Their raiding and adopting of orphans is a practice the Mongols used back when they were an expanding empire. Lucas took different even if minute aspects of cultures and merged them into the Mandalorians we know today.

Im hoping at some point a CHAD Mandalorian comes along and just chucks the Darksaber into a river, calling it a Jedi tool. It really shows where their mentality is. The mandalorians are a people much like they were during the crusades. Only focused on warring factions and not the functioning society Mandalore the Ultimate formed which was able to challenge The Republic to some degree because it amassed proper armies and fleets supported by real industry and knowledge forged in that Old Domain they once held.

I loved "We've all joined domestic terrorist organizations when young" I laughed so loudly it alarmed my poor sleepy cat. Which is itself a type of domestic terror, I suppose.

May the force be with you

My money is one Bo-Katan trying to tame or kill the mythosaur. But I am still hoping for the return of the Resol'nare and the Supercommando Codex... and the Taung and the old lore of the Mandalorian taking in all species.. Also in defense of Bo-Katan... she seems to want him to leave the children of the watch and that is way she says thinks like that about the "living water"

Bo talked about her own taking the creed in those waters, and talked about it as theater for the people. It was something she had to do- not something she believed in. When Din walks into the water saying the creed, they cut to Bo's face and she has a very interesting face/smile. Din is sincere. I think she realizes and appreciates that he isn't just going through the motions for others, but because he believes it for himself. Could give her a new appreciation for the creed, or for him. Also, I'm not sure that all Mandalorians were always and only taken as foundlings. That may be what the zealots like the Children of the Watch do exclusively. But there was entire Mandalorian society filling multiple planets and moons. Bo has a sister. There was a period of infighting between the Mandalorian clans and any captured foundlings would have been coming from other Mandalorian clans. So where did those babies come from? Clearly Mandalorian culture must have had families and spouses, or at least sex and children, of some kind. "Mandalorian isn't a race, it's a creed" apparently it's almost exclusively humans. Perhaps not all humans on Mandalore were Mandalorians? Perhaps the creed is just for the warrior caste? Perhaps it's just a religious type thing with a mix of orthodox and moderate believers? Perhaps it's only like a soldier's creed- applies while "enlisted" as part of the fighting corps, ie the military, but service could end, veterans could retire, hang up their helmets, and start families?

Great discussion. Great final words!

Great video as always

The Mandalorian Warrior Culture is great for the millitary, but what about the artisans, architects and civilian construction workers and droid techs that need to rebuild the cities. What about the biochem specialists that are needed to build the greenhouses and terraform the planet. What about the doctors and nurses and engineers and garbage collectors. Society needs more than just the Millitary.

Is the moonsaber considered a replica saber on the website? I’d actually love that scabbard for another saber I got from ownasaber

Grogu will tame the mythosaur, wield the dark saber in full beskar armor and unite all Mandalorians. This is the way!

I just want to know what the general grievous alien blood sucker was.

If Din Djarin is Arthur, does that make Grogu his Merlin?

The true mandalorians from legends led by jaster mereel is the best form/faction of mandalorian culture.

Boba Fett's appeal was not just the armor, Alan. It was the fact that he was a free-wheeling space cowboy dispensing his own brand of justice and getting paid big bucks for it by the guys who run the galaxy. While Han Solo tried to make ends meet selling space coke, Boba Fett was flying around disintegrating people for a living and getting paid the big bucks by both criminal warlords and the legitimate government authorities. He was both a made man in the Space Mafia and a government-sanctioned killer at the same time, and he made a killing out of it, both figuratively and literally. Heck, we even had a hit anime named Cowboy Bebop which was based around the premise of Boba Fett's character of being a Bounty Hunter who made ends meet hunting people down. It wasn't just the armor, but the premise of the character, which made Boba Fett an enduring legacy in the SW universe. When they made a game about Boba's old man Jango, it wasn't centered around some Mandalorian warrior culture or ritual stuff, (that stuff ended up in the Republic Commando game instead) it was about being a bounty hunter and flying around the galaxy, hunting dangerous prey, from druglords, senators, crime kingpins, Hutts, even Dark Jedi. Hence why it became known as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. And as for the Mandalorians, they only really took off as a culture because of the KOTOR games, where the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders were portrayed as a mix between the Spartans and the Prussians; cold, calculating foes that worshiped war and perfected killing people as a science. They were essentially a race based around the mindset of someone like Grand Moff Tarkin, respecting people based on the way they fight and risk their lives, and having no qualms about using massacres and weapons of mass destruction to achieve their goals. The Republic Commando books veered away from what made the game of the same name great, instead focusing on baby-mama drama and whining about the Jedi, which the Neo-Crusaders would've found laughable, since they respected the Jedi as warriors, but had no problems fighting or even killing them.

Actually if you think of previous episodes, it's most likely that Grogu will tame the Mythossaur as he did with the Rancor... And as a Jedi, he could yeld the Darksaber as well... Who knows, perhaps he's the actual Mandalorian of the Series.

@GenerationTech what's your take on Bo-Katarn being the rightful wielder of the Darksaber at the moment?

You said it best before: Choosing the best fighter as the leader is not smart. You just end up in a culture based on violence.

All that power couple need to do is build a basilisk droid to ride into the sunset on.

"unless there's, like, a little flap in the armor or something" lmaoo

Did he sink due to the weight of the armor or did he get pulled down I’ve heard people say both now 😭

They don't need a flap in the armor. He can just keep his helmet. On the other hand she's probably too old for babies and she should realize that unless there's a clear successor to the throne its going to be a bloodbath after he dies.

Does anyone else think Bo-Katan looks younger in this season than last season?

Another great video Alan, Allan, Allen ? Great name also, however you spell it.

4:41 he didn’t actually get pulled under he falls forward

Could the Mythasour be like Ben-Du? Also calling it now Grogu tames it.

Well executed sir you're expiretese is greatly appreciated

You got dolphin In your vents? you might wanna check the walls for a nest

Alan, the Dark Saber you're weilding is more like a Katana. Nice.

Agree with everything in the video, but it’s still beautiful watching Bo Katan rediscover her faith. As a longtime cynic, I found the whole thing very moving.

Boba needs to ride it and become Mand’alor again 😢

Great work Allen! Scooby snacks for you.

Bo Katan can lock me up in her palace anytime

I do too think anything pulled him under, He just didn't realize it dropped off so steeply.

I just thought of something. I have heard people say someone is going to defeat and ride the Mythosaur , whether it's Mando, Bo Katan, or Baby Yoda. I think I just figured it out. The armorer isn't going to believe that Mando bathed in the waters on Mandalore, and she isn't going to consider Bo Katan a reliable witness, so she is going to make Mando take her and their Mando clan back to Mandore to witness it themselves, but when they get there, the mythosaur attacks them and they get in a big battle, but in a shocking twist, it's noone anyone expected to defeat the mythosaur. It turns out, Paz Vizsla is the one who stops it. So at this point Mando has the dark saber, and Paz Vizsla rides the mythosaur, so they both have a claim to power, and basically their only option is to fight to the death to decide, once and for all, who is rightfully Mandalore. ...or in another weird twist, what if Bo Katan is in possession of Mandalore's mask? Then there are three Mandos with a claim to the throne, and as they are about to battle it out, the armorer gets them to take a step back and consider a new option...sharing power as equals. Basically, they could call it the Council Of Mandalore amd instead of having one ruler, Mandalore would have three rulers, which cod be beneficial. Mando is more diplomatic, Laz Vizsla, could be the tough war-like leader, and basically Bo Katan would serve as a balance between the two, and the armorer, while not part of the council, could act as an advisor to them.

Bo and Din remind me of a couple of politicians.

"this is what you think it is" - seizure machine??

Wait a minute - well 0:30 minutes... Boba Fett didn't 'appear in the original trilogy' - he 'RE-appeared in ESB and ROTJ- but he FIRST APPEARED in the Ralph-Bakshi style animated segment of 'that holiday special that shall not be named' where they get Chewbacca back home for 'Life Day'... despite the live-action segments being filmed with enough soft-focus glossy Vaseline / bantha spit on the camera lens that it looks like 70s art film, the animated Boba Fett sequence manages to toe the line between bonkers and bad-ass.

What about when Obi Wan's girlfriend ruled Mandalore? She wasn't giving rule through combat.

Ah...boy did you mess this prediction up hahahahaha (I enjoy your content keep up the mando lore) hahahahahahaha

I hope Bo-katan actually rides the mythysaure and takes up madalore the ultimates helmet

The Mythosaur is so big that they can ONLY be tamed by a force user?

Mandalorians remind me of Spartans. There was such a high to whom would considered a true Spartan. They became a rement of their former selves.

Watch Bo Karen use Grogu to tame the beast so she can get her butt on the throne.🤣

Baby Gogurt uses his connection with The Living Force to control it and becomes The Mandalore. Everyone brings him cookies. Roll credits.

What I don't get about the Living Waters being criteria for redemption as an apostate is that that ancient rule would've been enacted when the Mandalorians still lived on Mandalore, yes? So that would have been a really easy task, that's not exactly a challenge to hop downstairs and polar plunge.
