fighting yourself and losing
you’re not committed to this 
you should quit i don’t quit  
i never quit bounty hunting

don’t you agree it’s a good intro
it’s the better intro it really is what is 
up everybody it is your boy it’s konkon back  
in the bounty hunting game again we back we tell 
him justin tell him justin we back what are we  
back in justin uh chapter 17 of the mandalorian 
chapter 17 of the mandalorian the continuation  
of season two look who knew all we needed was a 
lot less boba fett and less tattooing to get an  
absolute banger episode who knew not me not me 
look at look at us who would have thought not me
podcast on facebook or instagram sure 
didn’t know they they sure didn’t know  
deleted their comment and everything my goodness 
um guys what is up uh connor here again and uh  
sitting across from me virtually is jay breezy and 
our returning guest casual kid okay jordan guys  
cantina splicer guys very very excited about this 
episode um let’s just real quick gut reaction  
justin go first gut reaction to this 
episode uh immediate hype like it was  
screaming excitement it was amazing and it was 
lol

funny that boba fett was not even in it at all
yeah jordan what about you uh this was
the best trailer since spider-man 3. um
um no loved it um i i i was blown away and
i was completely surprised by it and uh
yeah great episode need more uh justin oh actually
my gut reaction uh reaction episode uh dude i
literally teared up in this episode twice um i
love that we got the uh the ahsoka treatment just
instantly you know amanda was there uh i’m a huge
dinjarin fan um i would have liked to have seen
boba there with finnick that that is
my one critique but we’ll get to that
um my favorite moment and then three getting
out of giving this episode a nine out of ten
what are you texting me oh no what are you
texting me who me i’m not texting you anything
and um my favorite moment of the episode
was the firing up of the starship like
the actual like rumbling of the engine
justin did you have a favorite moment
i think when he sliced his own leg open with the
dark saber was probably like the most unexpected
and hilarious moment like not necessarily
hilarious but like oh my god this is exactly
what i wanted is somebody who has no idea how to
wield it still full sending wielding the darksaber
didn’t realize even how dangerous it actually
is like shows you how skilled the jedi has to
be to wield a weapon like that like everything
about it that fight scene was just awesome
jordan uh the early parts of the episode were
probably my favorite just because it felt like
mandalorian again uh the mandalorian just the
feel and being back to it it just got me really
hyped for the rest of the episode and both of you
justin what out of 10 would you give this episode
man i give this a 9 out of 10. the only reason
i’ll take the one point away is because it
literally had nothing to do with the book of boba
fett so because that is what this episode is for
this series this book of boba fett that’s the
only blemish on it and i personally i can see
why some people are throwing some shade on
it saying this is just a filler episode as
amazing as it was they’ll heartedly disagree but
i disagree but i see their logic yes it was a
filler for a book of boba fett’s plot that’s
why i’ll dock it one single one single point
what about you jordan exact same nine nine out of
ten and it’s it’s literally because now i don’t
care about boba fett i just want nando’s nando
season three that’s it it literally ends right now
yeah it could end right now yeah i don’t care well
yeah that would be it just roll credits uh bryce
dallas howard directing this episode but before
we get into it guys housekeeping of course we have

just released this uh statistic justin i meant to
send it to you it was about like um in the last
15 years you know that only three
podcasts have broken the top 10. so
in 15 years with the amount of podcasts it’s
just you know it’s fun it’s crazy how hard
we were number three in film and tv interview
we were we were in the top 25 for um what was
it mandalorian season one or two i can’t remember
season one season one yeah we were we were killing
it back then let’s get back to that guys leave
us a review we very worst audio quality ever
best ratings we’ve ever had best ratings we’ve
ever had uh guys the agenda of this episode is
of course talking about the continuation of
mandalorian season two no i’m just kidding
this is episode five of book of boba fett what an
absolute banger you can obviously tell that’s what
it is based on how much he was in it and yeah
such an integral role that he played you know
there is one thing that i like about my drinks
though and the casual kid can attest to them
i can drink them warm or i can drink them
cold we’re gonna go to the cantina right now
exactly i knew you’d get it welcome to hong kong’s
cantina what are you having shout outs to tomorrow
but remember no droids this week guys i’ve
broken out the game of thrones collection again
we got a notch tonight um i am thinking house
baratheon uh this is a highland scotch it is a
aged 12 year um this one’s okay it’s very muted
in flavor um it’s not peady and it’s also not
i don’t know how to describe it it’s very very
muted that’s the best way to describe it um
five out of ten not my favorite um and what’s
good about this one is this is in the more
lower end like the uh the price range for compared
to all the other game of thrones scotches um but
even as somebody that doesn’t like pete this is
almost not distinguishable as a scotch um really
on the nose that smells scotchy but on the front
mid and back and actually drinking it it is not
it is not scotchy but that is what that is what
i am drinking uh justin what are you drinking
i am drinking this was supposed to be the
whole bottle for the show but two of my lesser
lesser good friends came over to my
house and drank almost this entire bottle
two of you guys might it might look
familiar to you it’s a oh no my bad
i drink a good amount of that man my maker’s mark
uh five-star liquor barrel pick um ows maker’s
mark does a cool thing with their barrel picks
if you have never had one they give you a stave
profile across the label and if you don’t know
what a stave is a stave is the individual slat
that makes up your barrel so what they do is they
will piece together different they’ll disassemble
barrels and then piece them together and tell
you exactly how many staves of each type that
they used for instance this one is two from
the baked american pure to from seared french
qv three from a maker’s mark 46. three from a
roasted french mocha and zero from a toasted
french spice but basically you can kind of get
an idea of the flavor profile that’ll pick it up
based off of the staves that they use um this one
came out at 211.7 proof and it was bottled in june
of 2021 and the thing that i really like about
this it has drastically changed in the profile of
its flavor from first cracking it open to letting
it be open and breathe it was a little harsh at
first it was a little sharp but once this has been
opened it it’s super smooth it’s got a nice uh
i almost want to say caramel not cinnamon but a
little bit of a caramel spice flavor to it almost
almost like almost like a i really did enjoy that
one almost ginger ginger like yeah ginger is a
good word yeah ginger yep it’s delicious i mean
if you ever get a chance to find a a barrel pick
definitely grab it and save the bottle so you can
keep that uh stave profile so you can find if you
the more you try you’ll kind of pick up on the
ones that you like the little notes of yeah nice
the casual kid aka oh oh mando score mando oh yeah
yeah yeah i give this a uh uh eight out of ten
nice compare gotcha for the bourbons i’ve had
it’s it’s delicious it’s unique there’s a there’s
some the fun to it with the the collecting and
everything it’s not necessarily the best one that
i’ve had but it’s a it’s a it’s a cool way that
you can actually know what you’re drinking yeah
what about you the casual kid this is uh i’m going
through all the uh the old beer that i’ve had in
a pantry and we put in the fridge we’re trying to
get through it uh this is the last can i have so
you know it’s good yeah so you know it’s good it’s
the grumpy old men brewing the uh hells hauler
oh yeah dude i finally killed all of my grumpy
old men and i’m really upset about it we gotta
go yeah we gotta go back just it was so good this
is the last one uh it’s a it’s a 7.2 uh beer it’s
nice it’s caramelly it’s uh smooth oh it’s so nice
um grumpy old mint makes a lot of really good beer
where’s the big deal old men from where’s that
blue ribbon yeah very very good beers very good
beers um this one i i would think is a little
bit more of their average blue ridge mexico i’m
assuming uh absolutely yes yeah god dang it tell
me where it’s from blue ridge georgia rich george
yeah so anyway yeah blue ridge georgia um they
got a couple of breweries there this is one of
the best breweries there um and uh yeah i’m gonna
give it a six it’s it’s not the best porter you’re
ever gonna have but it’s it’s solid and it’s
what’s your good what was your your favorite beer
from that specific brewery since you guys both
liked it what was that the cocoa blonde the cocoa
i let you try that i gave you
a six-pack of justin it was the
uh it was the the white no yeah yeah that
was yes very it was like a cream ale mixed
with white chocolate oh dude that one how many
how how much did i come home with jordan like
48 cans yeah i bought like a small palette
like yeah like i was walking to the car
like with and jordan’s like what are you doing
and i was like this is too good i gotta i gotta
bring it home you got your uh yeti cart the
yeti car that you built was just carrying beer
i brought both my yeti coolers the big one was
for beer the small one was for the food yeah
guys i’m so excited to talk about this episode
uh for everybody listening everybody watching
i’m letting you know i went into great detail
on this recap so if it’s a little bit longer i
do apologize i very much loved this episode and it
was really good i got a lot of quotes in there and
even though people were talking that this was
some filler there are two very profound canon
explanations three which is kind of the third
one’s kind of a funny one but two very profound
canon explanations that are very important yes
wizard to do star wars and to the mandalorian
and you know once again we’re making
the joke that this is continuation of
you know mandalorian season uh uh two epis
you know chapter 17 but let’s get into it
claytonians work in a butcher shop mandel
walks through the door as i said earlier
we 100 we get the ahsoka treatment they do not
keep it from us mando immediately is on screen
searching for his bounty mando finds
him kebaba bias i can bring you in warm
or i can bring you in cold now the second you
said that i was just like oh they’re doing it
did you guys think that this was redone or
did they just sound bite it the first time oh
i think that’s all pedro i think like i think
that’s 100 him i think that’s just like all
him it’s his bravado it’s his like i think he can
like it’s gonna be mando’s tagline as we continue
i love it every everything about it i freaking
love it it’s so ominous and cool at the same time
love it mando ignites his dark saber he
starts to cut through the henchmen with ease
mando of course huh how high were you the
second like no time wasted dude you’re like what
dude in the way hang on the way that he does it
too like he’s like hunched over and it’s just like
like uh dude it was it was safe it was absolutely
it was especially birds are whistling birds are
for the or for the birds we got a dark side yeah
forget we got dark saber now we don’t need that um
we do see a little bit of the dragging and i
actually uh the clip yes is gonna be played in
the beginning of this episode uh you’re gonna
hear a little bit of the explanation between
um kanan and sabine which we’ll get into more
that explanation later but there’s there’s so
much to the dark saber that that we learn um
especially if you’re not caught up with uh rebels
we get the explanation of more
the dark saber later but do it
watch it as you mentioned by being a cartoon dear
god yes literally if if you can’t get past it
start in season two we’ve said it before rebels
is key star wars material it’s very very good
uh justin your favorite scene then ensues
mando slices his own thigh with the dark saber
slicing how i imagined myself if i ever
had one like you think you’re gonna be
super like fluent and like obi annie spin
crazy and you’re just like yeah just like my
arm off goes the arm yeah like whenever you’re
playing with the kids with a stick and like
you’re like oh you you’re you’re not attacking
me you just cut your own arm off you’re like no
dude it was it was totally uh he started acting
like sloth again fighting like sloth with them
oh my gosh stop one by one he slices through
the henchman through the dog yes after taking
out his vibro knife and putting his bounty on the
table he cuts him straight in half did you guys
sense let’s go disney let’s go did you did you
sense how angry din was in this whole scene
like we we see throughout the episode him being
reminded of grogu back and forth back and forth
like this yeah like this this dad pain and
i think that it’s so obvious that him just
cutting through him and then removing his
head you know it’s like because the first
time we get the i can bring you in warm
i can bring you in cold we get brought in
alive and now we get it again and we and
we get cold i don’t know it was technically
the first time was cold because he was carbonite
frozen i was gonna say it but i was gonna say it
what is mando after is it
money is it more bounties
no of course as we’ve seen in mandalorian season
one and two it it seems to always be information
seeking the newest location of the mando’s we
first encountered on navarro shout outs to the
space station that mando was on complete
halo ring yeah he was playing on halo yeah
but we can’t do the halo champ well i didn’t
know if you’re going halo 1 halo 2 or halo 3.
what are you talking about they’re not
the same they change them in between
dude the whole space station that he was on was
it was amazing i want to know the name of it
it was everything we wanted in star wars it was
literally everything this needs to be the star
wars star cruiser not some stupid [ __ ] my god
give me this ring that we’re on disney has enough
money to make that right yeah what if it is what
if disney did like out of your window like an
augmented reality like you could see what was down
there but you also saw like an augmented reality
loop of a ring going out oh my god billion dollars
i did 100 i absolutely loved the just the place
that he was on it felt so star wars like it wasn’t
coruscant it was somewhere new thank god it wasn’t
covered in sand and it wasn’t tatooine like and
it didn’t look like freaking deep space nine
like that’s the one thing like we’ve talked about
space stations so much i was like don’t turn star
wars into star trek it’s got its own place i’m
not going to go ragging on star trek but i like
i don’t want to see star wars look like god dang
deep space nine when you show me a space station
finally besides the death star like an actual
space station this was freaking amazing yeah
back to the recap limping through the city streets
mando gets what he is after not only does he claim
his reward he reclaims his information the
closest access point to the substrata finally
mando reaches a door marked with the famous
mythosaur marking the location of another covert
the armor sits another we well we didn’t
know at that point right yeah we didn’t know
yeah because i thought it was going to be a new
cover it’s what you would like you were begging to
see a new covert and i thought i was like dang it
he called it and i i still i wasn’t disappointed
um so some of the things that i call uh when when
do we want to get into the razor crest argument
we want to just get that we’ll get into that
okay i will okay dismantle you okay no you won’t
i was really hoping for more armando’s
right because obviously mando is a good
amount of muscle right but right
i was hoping for a reconnection
and i think the most that i was shocked
about was that it was just paz and the armor
like when we saw all the exact
same two yeah the exact same two in
how many there were when they were escaping off
in navarro yes i’m sorry no no no you’re right
navarro no navarro because in season one when they
go into the covert after ig opens up the you know
the bar into the the sewers we see all the piles
of the armor and the armor says you know some have
left you know some died fighting the empire and
then you know the other we didn’t know how many
they were so when when mando comes back pat says
now there are three you know it’s just them three
which i was super shocked by that i expected a
couple of more yeah we also learned from beau
in mandalore in season two that there’s just
them but they were a super offshoot covert to
begin with they were like the extremists of the
extremists which is one of the reasons why they
did survive which we’ll learn later yes so there’s
already a limited group of them yeah i just i not
that i didn’t love the armor and pass because i
think paz vizsla voiced by john bro super awesome
played by the same big dude that the truth the
guy in the very first episode of mandalorian super
cool to see actually played by john do you think
it’s actually played by john or just voiced by him
no no it’s just my job no no the guy in the suit
is the guy that goes the uh mando the guy that he
spills his drink that’s him in the suit oh okay
okay yeah yeah that big dude that’s him in the
suit but it’s it’s john that does the voice does
the voice over um i just i loved seeing both of
them again i it just would have been another layer
to have a new covert right like yeah you know
another like each each covert has its armor right
it’s tribal leader whatever because in this show
that could have been a cool tie-in is we have
a tribe leader of the mandalorians right and
that tribe leader could have been the armor
for all the coverts of of the mandalorians
yeah i mean but also at the same time give us
our props where our props are due we did the
due diligence in season one that we found the name
and we were like oh my god he’s a freaking vizsla
and we knew like we knew immediately in
season one that i was like this dude is
connected to tara vizsla this dude is connected
to everybody like there is so much history that
for the fact that they just named him that we knew
it was going to come up and it took two seasons
and a whole nother show for it to come around
but a lot of people missed that tiny detail yeah
back to the recap mando sees the armor sitting
upon what seems to be vast space once again in
the stratosphere of the space station
paz vizsla gives first aid to denjarin
quote what is the weapon that caused the wound
paz vizsla brings the darksaber to the armor
quote what do you know of this blade den replies
whoever wields it can rule mandalore the armor
then explains the blessings and the curse of the
darksaber quote one warrior will defeat 20 and
a multitudes will fall before it if however it is
not one in combat and falls into the hands of the
unwielding it will bring a curse upon the nation
mandalore will be laid to waste and its people
will be scattered into the four winds in quote
straight up bla blames bogotan for everything 100
yeah and and we’ll get into him bringing
up bo it hasn’t happened just yet
but that’s a theme that we have in star
wars right an overarching theme is prophecy
and yet again we have an ancient race people which
is the mandalorians who have a prophecy and it all
revolves around this dark saver obviously
foreshadowing the explanation as this and
this is one of the things that that i brought up
earlier this is a huge contention that people had
with the season finale of mandalorian season
two why can’t bow just take it you know
she took it no yeah yeah she took it from yeah
she literally now we know she cursed the people
and led to the night of a thousand tears at least
to this sect i will say that is only to this sect
but that is like i think it’s an overarching thing
for the mandalorian they’re just a little a little
more invested into the technicalities
and the doctrine that they believe in
back to the recap tar vizla the mandalorian
jedi forged this saber over a thousand years ago
mando rejoins his old people this is the way give
us give us a book yeah i agree look ontario i
agree i agree mando explains to to paz vizilla
how he got the dark saber quote the blood of
millions of our kind is on his hands end quote
which was in the reference to mafian the spear
was a gift from a jedi quote this is a threat to
all mandalorians it can pierce bhaskar armor end
quote what did you think about that i was gonna
say i was waiting for a break i really liked
slash was a little cringe on how devoted
den still is to their covert after 100 agree
after meeting the other mandalorians after
like the rule with you leave your helmet on
after them explaining how these guys are almost
like a cult fanatical version of mandalorians
it was a little like cool and i appreciated it but
it was like a little like ah don’t give it up like
yeah i like especially especially after i didn’t
mind it until they exiled him when they exiled
him i fully expected him to take off his helmet on
the on the space bus right because my dude doesn’t
have a ship yet but i will say it is very clear
that den is still defeating he had a purpose too
he has a purpose and and as as as casual kid said
before you get into this jordan because i want i i
know you have something to say this is the trailer
to mandalorian season three so it is very clear
that we are going to now go to mandalore
so that he can go to the baths in the mines
to regain you know what were you going to say
jordan well no it’s just seeing it from another
perspective you know once den gave up grogu he had
nothing left there was nothing left for him he he
fulfilled his mission which was you know what he
meant to do what did he have good to go back to
just as covert hunting and so on yeah right and
so without having that father kind of relationship
left he went back to what he knew which was
hunting and a covert so it i didn’t like
that he was still devoted but at the same time i
i can understand it you know you just fall back
into old patterns the only saving grace with
it is when he gave it up he knew what exactly
he was giving it up for it was not for himself
it was not for the covert it was for foundling
and it was for grogu like that is a great i think
i think you think i think i know what he made you
think you know what what they made like yep i’ve
got i got a i got a note in here back to the recap
great segue justin mando then gives up his spear
to help foundlings but in return he asks for
something and that is a gift for grogu quote have
you ever heard of bo katan crees end quote because
she has lost her way we lost our world said the
armor now in the i’m still going to get to it but
with the thing for grogu i will say i do
think that we see the armor in paz again not
necessarily in book of boba fett necessarily
let’s be honest there was no reason to call
this book of boba fett absolutely not because
we have more din than we do boba and even at
this point i think that it’s clear that all
these story lines are intertwining which i like
the book of boba fett is a like uh what oh my
god what’s what’s the word one in a novel not
a isn’t it not an interesting interlude yeah is
it like where like in the middle of the chapters
they break into like this weird little tiny side
story that’s also happening that by the end of the
by the end of the novel like all these strings
gonna come tied together booty boom if that is
almost that to the mandalorian is what this
feels like yeah i agree back to the recap
quote once again this is in reference
to losing the world of mandalore
if we would have not been on concordia we would
have also been lost so this is a huge deal
this is a reference to concord which is concord
don which is the the guy that brought jango fett
in that’s the whole story where jango fett was
also a foundling and we got confirmation of that
in mandalorian season two the writing here whoever
whoever is specifically getting all these details
correct i know who this is this is only one
guy this is one guy this is our boy dave dude
these these points are are hitting we’re firing
on all cylinders in reference 100 to the in one
starfighter that we’re gonna get to later but
seriously like all of these little strings
are are coming together um and i still hope
that we get some sort of a tie to django like
more django like i know boba is django but django
specifically in connection to concord dawn and the
moon which is death watch we also django before
the cloning process like exactly django is what
we need some yeah exactly continuing with the
recap we then see the night of a thousand tears
possibly the one thing that we have been asking
to see for two plus years justin i’m letting you
take this one take it teased so long ago like i i
have never been teased and immediately fascinated
by something because it was such a massive thing
for new star wars lore when gideon dropped that
line where he is den is sitting there behind the
wall how do you know he’s dead he knows my name
the night of a thousand tears and i was like
i mean like what yes like this is new this is
obviously massive and then they did not touch it
they did not touch it even with a 10-foot pole
for all of season two and i was like clamoring to
know what this was as are i’m sure tons of people
i loved it i loved we got the perfect scene
showing it we got classic tie bombers we got
very varied terminator vibes with the yes
with everything being destroyed and then the
the imperial droids coming through and just
making sure everything everyone’s gone oh
my god all the k2sos yeah yeah that was so
freaking awesome i would have enjoyed i one
for starters absolutely loved it we got somehow
a a very short 20-second explanation but it was
all that we needed it was almost chef’s kiss
if you will very very simple very very good
because i complained yeah because in my head i
had the the idea of a bunch of star destroyers
just hammering down on the blasting a planet as
as we’ve seen in other things where they yes but
this was more this was way more intimate like
like a million nukes just dropped all over the
place and like jordan said uh to the recap let me
read the recap and then i’ll say what i had to say
imperial bombers skim the surface leaving none
alive k2 units skim the surface for who yet
lived so once again we have these k2
units we got those terminator vibes
their kx series kx series thank you just like
literally and it you know what was crazy is i
i watched this specifically i rewinded it we get
this one shot of that that that kx series shooting
the one mando and i wanted to see if his arm
moved something that showed life to make him shoot
there’s nothing they’re shooting anyway let’s
also let’s also give some props to rogue one for
creating one of the coolest freaking droids my
favorite droid my groomsman ktso let’s go like
yeah we need to bring the special segment
back bro yeah but we got to put it at the end
back to the recap the armor then says what shall i
forge end quote denjarin replies something for the
foundling for grogu he is no longer in your care
the armor says mando wishes to see grogu again
back to the very first scene that we have
with mando we see this anger in mando where
he’s missing grogu obviously he wants to see
him again then we see what justin mean you i
think we’re on the same page of what we think
is being made for him we see rings very amazing
they made mithril for him yeah they made rhythm
they made a chain male we’re getting a chain
i think it’s obvious right chainmail mithril we’re
obviously making a reference to lord of the rings
you know it’s i can’t wait i’ve never seen star
wars chain mail like let’s go like i can’t wait
to see little grogu in his little shirt dress
yeah dude do you think it’s gonna be the gimli
thing where ghibli puts on the arbor and
then it falls exactly back to the recap
the armor and the mando spar hit after hit
mando struggles to fight back against the armor
the weight of the dark saber is too much for him
he is fighting against the blade you can quote
it no one can quote your body is strong but
your mind is distracted says the armor pass
very very yoda-ish paz vizsla approaches and
a challenge is issued and accepted by pause
there before we talk to the church have you i
will straight up say i have not had time to do
what you and i discussed when we called each
other after watching this because i was at the
doctor for three and a half hours today finding
out how i’m not surprised you’re absolutely
worthless but continue but you and i discussed
like we wanted to go back to the rebels episode
where i did the bean you did have time okay so
just take it from there so i’m going to play
the clip is going to play at the beginning of the
episode all the quotes between so you have to feel
the blade just because you’re not force sensitive
doesn’t mean you don’t feel the force just like
maz kanata explained in the force awakens you
know she says i am no jedi but i know the force
kanan explains to sabine that she needs to clear
her mind and feel you know it’s very samurai i ask
you need to feel the blade be one with the sword
it’s not a tool it’s an extension of your body
and that is what he is not understanding
you know if you think of den as a whole den
is a cowboy den is a a side shooter you
know a slinger he’s a gunslinger he’s a
uh what’s the guy from destiny he’s escaping
me but you know a hunter yeah he’s cade he’s
a hunter he’s he’s not a sword wielder and
remember she says that this is a noble weapon
yeah exactly there’s a there’s a whole other layer
to the finesse of this weapon that that he’s not
understanding and and i i just found it it’s
completely different but i think in a cool
and good way than previous canon with lightsabers
because in many instances whenever they would have
instances where non-force users would get their
hands on a lightsaber and they would try to wield
the lightsaber the hardest thing about controlling
it is its weightlessness not its weight where they
were they basically had a hilt and then they had
no sense of where your actual blade was because
there was there’s no it’s not like a sword where
like as the the blade is going out there’s weight
that you can feel as you swing you know you know
where it is you can sense it with the lightsaber
it was your hilt and that was it it was just light
it was a it was a blaster so for this to be like
he’s basically wielding a like knights templar
giant broadsword or greatsword that he’s dragging
across the ground was a complete 180. yeah yeah
absolutely and it to see him struggle with it
and even the armor almost taunting him
in trying to train him to use it properly
man and that yeah that that was that was great
she grabbed him by the helmet and pulled them in
yeah um it is definitely something to see into
justin’s point i think of force awakens with finn
using the lightsaber you know against the
stormtrooper traitor it’s like how how we’re
using that so easily so yeah that was really cool
i don’t know if this is what gave you this train
of thought justin i might be refreshing
your memory but in the behind-the-scenes
dvd extras of phantom menace we get the commentary
of liam neeson explaining the difficulty that he
had understanding from the choreographer of how to
use a lightsaber you know liam neeson goes on to
explain that he’s been in samurai movies he’s been
in in medieval movies and he’s used great swords
broadswords big wide strokes big heavy over the
hand and that was not the purpose of a lightsaber
you know it was weightless it was fluid it was
fast it was it was all the things that liam hadn’t
done until phantom menace and so it is it is cool
to see this continuity that sabine had such a
problem handling the saber and fighting kanan and
when kanan finally gave the insight and it’s funny
because the armor i didn’t write this quote down
and i wanted to but basically she was like what’s
the definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different yeah
results exactly and that is exactly what she said
to him is he wanted to keep dueling and she’s like
you don’t understand the blade there’s no
point and it was awesome because sabine
and den’s issues with the darksaber were because
of their personality and their psyche and how
they couldn’t wrap their head around wielding
it it wasn’t like it’s a physical thing it’s
their own personal mental connection to wielding
that dark saber for sabine it was never like she
could barely lift it and it was so physically
wearing on her like he was lifting a freaking
hilt that had 20 cinder blocks
on it it was like she just
couldn’t use it very well whereas den like
it that’s not his bag at all and he like was
that’s not my bag baby exactly i was waiting
for somebody to do the awesome show like it’s
cool like it’s 100 on their their connection with
it and a non-force user has completely different
connection issues trying to wield a weapon built
for a jedi due to time i do need to get through
some of this recap gentlemen um but seriously the
intimacies of this episode i could talk about this
episode forever like yeah this this literally
might be one of the best mandalorian episodes
like period yeah like that we see of din
like this is this is one of the best um
paz approaches a challenge is issued to din din
accepts the challenge both mandalorians remove
their jet packs paz then energizes his shield on
his left gauntlet and also he wields a vibra blade
den wields the dark saber i did love seeing
this in live action first time we’ve seen it
the the mandalorian circle energy shield we
also see sabine vibro uh bracers we are you
know we we’ve we have seen this in clone wars
and in rebel so it was very cool to see it again
i did put a little quote in here um after multiple
hits paz vizsla appears to have the upper hand he
absolutely wrecks din absolutely rexed in and this
is some foreshadowing that i really liked and this
is just more credence to bryce dallas howard
there’s a specific shot that reminds me that i
knew that he was going to quote win this duel but
of you know he ends up not when we first see paz
walking to din the actual camera shot is down and
up towards paz and we get the light of the moon
shining down just to show how big paz is like it’s
such a cool shot to show his mass of how big of
a mando you know he’s a heavy trooper like dude
he’s not he’s not like a little infantry guy no
he’s a titan the the the the filmography in this
episode was just it was it was so absolutely great
and i loved that whenever one of them got the
dark saber that’s immediately when they started
losing because they don’t know how to use it yep
both of these were kicked yeah go ahead go ahead
go ahead reaching for the dark saber that he has
knocked out of den’s hands he swings and he swings
mando then slides pulls out his own vibro
blade and ganks the hammies he just uh
absolutely gone paz has been defeated quote
den jaren have you removed your helmet again
have you removed your helmet den says i have
quote then you are a mandalorian no more
seeking atonement according to the cree one may
redeem themselves by bathing in the waters of
the mines under mandalore as we talked about
earlier i think this is clearly where season
three of mandalore is going to go it’s clear that
he still has this that’s the quest when he doesn’t
have grogo my question is is who who is the
armor to him if he believes in the creed so much
and he has the dark saber why isn’t he seeking
other mandalorians to reunite him is that not him
is he going to be known as the covert is who saved
him and made him a foundling and brought him in
because he’s not by blood a mandalorian
this is his family this yeah this this
is where he believes he belongs right now yeah
that’s not what he was born into like bo katan
so it’s like bo katana has her viewpoint as an
actual blood mandalorian this is literally saved
his life that he has a vivid memory of and then
all he knows yeah back to the recap mando gets
on a space bus because my guy still does not have
a ship imaginando the star cruiser that we heard
in the last episode that they landed on tatooine
like magic this is what it is the exact same yeah
mando seems a young rodinian he is no doubt
reminded of grogu then pulling out his gift
that he has made for grogu with the help of the
armor we see that we see the obvious resemblance
an amazing musical score follows do either of
you remember the music on the the spaceship
the music in this episode i haven’t i i don’t i
everything else i remember for music except this
this scene in particular it’s a it’s a brand new
piece it’s not mando’s theme it’s not anything
else it’s a specific piece kind of like how we
heard amanda uh grogu’s theme for the first time
go back and listen to this part in particular
dude this part obviously the the representation of
of grogu that we know as the audience like this
is important and and we hear new music and we
have new music for the book of boba fett it is
it’s so good go back and listen to it that part
in particular i cannot wait to get more of this
music i want it on vinyl i want all this music
landing in moz eisley mando then steps off
to see pali moto we see our first live action
bd unit that we introduced where you talk about
it i was so like i i absolutely loved fallen order
like i played that game from start to finish i
went back and i played it on harder difficulties
after i finished it i loved bd1 he was the
greatest droid i feel personally that i like
bd1 better than bb-8 i think bd1 was a better
companion has not been a better companion since r2
like he’s uh i guess chocolate k2 so okay well
but he he can there’s a lot of good droids i
i separate a k2 so because he can
full on conversate and talk yeah
yeah non-verbal that’s a really good inspiration
i think chopper sarcastic fire amazing r2
like troublemaker hilarious bd absolute
great like i was so excited to see
uh a bd series droid like i was like oh
my god is it actually calcasta sizzling
i literally thought i was going to see him
walk on screen no joke just showed up seriously
that’s what i thought so sweet back to
the recap mando is here for a new ship
connor thus wins the razor crest argument
continuing with recap lifting the sheets
off we see a in one starfighter from naboo
i’m not gonna lie when i saw the sheet in
the shape of the ship i thought this
was going to be general grievous ship
okay for for our audio listeners justin
just changed his name from jay breezy to
team the razor crest bro come on
look okay what what’s your argument
tell me why you think you’re it has been the
same from from the very start everybody for
those who haven’t for those who haven’t listened
restate your cases please no no we can’t we’re not
going to retire into this episode look it’s it’s
very glaringly obvious that what what do they say
that makes you feel confident this episode that
you feel like now you’re now you’re confirmed
that not only do we have the myth roll and
literally the the very first episode we have oppa
and then we also have peli which is number one
apple calls it a m111 but we’ll skip over that he
he doesn’t and 111 razor crest yep he doesn’t call
that that’s wolf that’s wolf trapper get it right
whatever that scene yeah well okay once again
you’re wrong as always but it’s okay continue and
then peli an actual mechanic also the way that
they just reference it it’s razor crests as a
whole it is gunship the manufacturer it’s it’s can
you get me a razor crest it’s not v razor crest
so you can change your name to team a razor crest
so that’s what nando wanted was a one word so one
word that they said like for like two or three
times right we’re going to ignore the 40 times
that they call it the razor crest stop i know you
because you haven’t heard either way for the lulls
one time what time it’s okay
dude you can be remembered you’ll
is thriving there are so many of us it’s you
and chloe that’s it it’s just you and chloe
come on it’s just tony tony one is on our team
too no he’s not anyone yes no he’s not he’s not
he saw this episode and he was like connor’s right
as always you don’t give it a name like the m111
if it’s not that’s the mod after a small argument
between mando and peppa between the podcast
he agrees to give the ship a chance
what are the benefits of the ship pre-empire it’s
off-grid and it does not need a hyper space ring
i really appreciated how she mentioned that
keeping what mando cared about keeping what
mando care about and that this was a ship
built without droids so manufacturing and
built by hand and it reminded me of american
muscle oh yeah this yeah the building of it and
as we’ll probably get into the recap with the
uh just the way it looked once it was done
uh having the turbo in there too it was absolutely
carburetor with the help of jawas all parts needed
dude
this was the third canon explanation so we’ve
always we we have these what does a jawa look like
without their cloak what does a tuscan raider look
like without their their cloths well we’ve we have
an eu picture of jawas and they look like these
big these these little furry uh like the the guy
from suicide squad like we saw the girls yeah yeah
they look like a weasel and she says that they’re
furry yeah and it was hilarious like it’s like a
canon explanation now that they really are like
just crushes the role like dude 100 every every
time she’s on screen i just like yes yes yes
i want more slapstick comedy i want more slapstick
comedy in star wars what about you justin she to
me she’s the perfect mixture of being slapstick
but not being corny like it’s funny and it’s
purposely funny but it’s not like uh i always
use the the scene in uh is it the last jedi
or is it yeah it’s the last jedi where uh poe is
talking to hux and he’s like hello are you still
there like just did you like that or you didn’t
like that no i hated that okay so much that’s like
too much in your face slapstick where pele is like
yes yes it flows yeah yes makes sense yep yeah
back to the recap lifting the sheet off we see
a in one starfighter from naboo handcrafted
and given to not the starfighters not the star
pilots the royal guard of the queen of naboo
so good so good so good an amazing montage
then ensues you know on this podcast
we love a good montage give it mando helps fix
the ship the in one is then moved into the open
landing bay i landed i loved also like how they
show like jawas what they’re capable of getting
and how they’ll straight up like it’s also a
flashback to how they shredded the razor crest
yes like like the second of him being gone
are like oh look at all these pirates these
are ours now sucker like we loved it go ahead
jordan oh and i i also love that uh the bd unit
came back and did basically what it does in
the video game where it projected the part
where it needed to go and that was so freaking
cool give me one of those in real life i’ll
never read an ikea instruction again i just
need him to tell me where this one wooden
dowel goes and somehow it’s going to hold up my
whole bed frame and that guy he’s going to know
let’s talk about the in one starfighter did you
ever think that mando would be in such a small
we’ve seen him in a gunship we’ve seen him in a
a manufactured razor crest not the name of the
ship but an actual manufactured version of the
gun ship did you ever think that we’d see him in
a star fight so i did not and this is honestly my
prediction i think that this i think this is going
to be a thunder and paradise situation thunder
okay okay let me you say yours and then i’m gonna
say mine because i have one so specifically
you went somewhere that i didn’t think you
were going tell me if you’ve never watched the
amazing hulk hogan show of thunder in paradise
he has the most amazing scarab like speed boat
okay and then the speed boat then can then launch
from underneath like a submarine and jettison out
this amazing jet ski that’s like a stealth jet ski
i think this n1 is going to be like almost
like on the uh on the ghost for for hera
so he’s going to get a bigger
ship and he’s going to keep the n1
because i feel like he has to have something
for transporting and getting bounties and his
arsenal and everything else included he does have
the droid pocket which i’m sure we’ll talk about
i’m gonna i’m gonna talk about that now so here
here’s my hot take she clears out the droid pocket
hollows it out tell me that that is not the
perfect area for grogu to look out yes exactly oh
yeah my hot take is i do think that mandalorian
season 3 will lead into him getting grogu back
and we have what we have we have little grogu just
hanging out in the in one starfighter so there’s
no unless unless he’s moving away from
bounty hunting there’s no there’s no
cargo on this ship i agree but maybe a
full-sized person can fit in there but
a full vice person and grogo but here’s
here’s the thing his mission is no longer
going to be bounty hunting his mission is getting
to mandalore so what he’s doing yeah so i i don’t
think he this ship is gonna last long i think he’s
gonna have the ship maybe for part of for season
three and then he’s he’s going to get a razor
crest back and it’s going to be the the fanfare
of having it back and being like yeah i do truly
i will cookies i will cook you a steak and lobster
dinner if he gets another m111 razor crest painted
exactly the same like you know what we back
i will i will massage your feet i will i want
it i want it again i want to see she made it
perfectly clear that she pelly’s able to get one
right she made it perfectly clear she said this
is more rare another one of i can get
another one of the razor crests for you
yeah i can get another one of the multiple razor
crests made by the actual manufacturer called
razor crest because they’re called razor crests
and everyone in the galaxy knows that they’re
razor pressed he’s referring to what he calls
it oh okay anyway uh i i back back to the recap
i hate it here this is this is yes this is the
second amazing score that if you didn’t notice
it go back and listen specifically because this
is a part that actually got me choked up just like
the force theme go ahead no i’d continue oh
so mando walks around his new ship mando’s
theme plays but the arrangement is slower and not
only is it slower it’s all cello so he’s walking
around he’s feeling his new ship and this music
for me personally it overcame me like it really
got me emotional star wars music has always done
that and this in particular we get the you know
but it’s literally like two stages slower
like it’s really the i loved it
commando fire oh go ahead no no i was agreeing
like like when you hear like something like slow
down like that and then you’re also on like
a high of thinking that you’re right like
everyone in the facebook group bro they got
my back bro i don’t know what to tell you
mando fires up his new in
one star fighter pod racer
a world war ii fighter plane oh yeah the sounds
were absolutely stunning as star wars has always
done casual yeah i know you have something to say
no no the the sound design for it was fantastic
it oh my god i i had all the prequel nostalgia
vibes especially him going you know going out for
mos eisley taking the exact pod race diagnostic
it oh my gosh it was so freaking awesome
every time i build a car or motorcycle that’s
exactly how i take it out the first time i’m like
dude take it on the toll road right it was
specifically i i actually had to look up
which mind you fire sprays also a world war ii
fighter plane i had to look up specifically how
they looked and there’s one thing in particular
that they added to this in one naboo starfighter
if you look and i meant to grab
the toy because this is one of my
uh this is one of my quote and tink this is one of
my vengeance toys that i do have which is the the
1999 hasbro in one starfighter toys is there are
two slits to allow the main you know uh uh laser
fire cannons out of the the nose of the ship
she added mega arrows so those if you look at
what a fire spray world war ii fighter plane looks
like they have those 50 cow barrels on the nose
it was so reminiscent of a actual real fire
spray that it was just almost indistinguishable
not only that the turbo that they mounted on
the top it’s not turbo that’s a mega carb like
that’s a 70s carburetor like polycarb on a how
much how much did you appreciate there was a car
talk between them two where she was like oh
well that’s why i reinforced your you’re this
it’s just like when we reinforce a block so that a
piston doesn’t go through like it was so sick yes
everything about it on the intake manifold exactly
as the casual kid brought out should we send or
should we run a diagnostic nah send her up pele
is completely confident in her work mando flies
through beggar’s cannon we see this same pod
racing scene that we see in fantasy we see the
womp rats at luke bullseyed through beggars
canyon the ramp off on the canyon yeah just
wait uh what does he say uh young skywalker’s
made his way out of the surface ramp i already
see i already made that joke and here it
is coming right back to me justin listen
yeah cause i i it was all predictions my
comedy predicts the future justin get with
it just like i already knew about the razer
crest the sooner that you get on the side
the better off into space mando is hailed by two
new republic officers for flying too fast to a
commercial ship who the new character is did you
know i did not because natasha thought that that
was matt lantern and i’m like no that’s not not
man matt lantern but the new the new character
that you see the most in this whole scene is
named lieutenant reed okay this is the most
new john favreau and dave filoni things like
they love letting people who want to be part
of star wars actually be part of star wars
this is max lloyd jones who was luke skywalker
this was the body double that was in the season
finale that you never saw his face because he was
nice nice that’s so he finally got a moment to not
only be luke skywalker but he got a face roll and
a talking role and why is this guy winning he’s
winning dude everything so he’s got he’s played
luke sagaw skywalker now he’s played lieutenant
reed and he’s a x-wing pilot right up alongside
uh with axe wolves and with uh what’s his name
captain captain tiva carsontiva is his name
yep like this is awesome like i love it they’re
like giving these people opportunities when
they want to be part of something speaking of
captain tv aka oppa now justin explain what
oppa is from a lot of maybe some people don’t
know we give a lot of nicknames on this podcast
the most fantastic wholesome hilarious comedy that
you can it’s on netflix all seasons are available
kim’s convenience kills convenience oppa of course
recognizes mando before mando can answer any
questions he’s fair distance fast dude he hit his
sub light thrusters and he is gone absolutely gone
bye see you one word answer when he lands is
the best yes he lands in the docking bay on mos
eisley that he left from and she says
how was it and what does he say justin
wizard and what is that a reference to that is
a reference to lord of the rings uh no joking
yes classic phantom menace pod racing scene like
the word that they wanted george wanted us to use
but never caught on and like never caught
on never tried george tried upon his arrival
mando is met with finnek shan finnick offers him
a job but in return mando offers his services
to free for boba but first i have to visit a
little friend in the episode fades to black
are we getting grogo next episode are we getting
luke next episode there’s no way there’s no
way then where do we go we don’t we don’t go
to war with the pikes without mando okay and
we don’t get the pikes without mando seeing grogu
we’re an hour we’re an hour plus deep into this so
let’s keep this part quick but i do want to talk
about this yes we got two episodes left that’s it
yes we have a tease of where mando wants to go but
it has nothing to do with book of boba fett i have
i have a hot take continue are okay i’ll i’ll set
it up and then i’ll let you just take the first
hot take uh-huh do you are we gonna see a tease of
this right here where it ended and then we get a
mando flying back and he’s helping boba and then
season three of the mandalorian picks up from him
leaving at this exact moment and seeing grosgu or
do you think we are going to derail book of boba
and show things with mando luke skywalker grogu
and completely abandoned book of boba fett’s
story and just come in and uh like at the end on
the final episode go go first jordan if you have
an answer to that because my i i’ve i literally
wrote i like literally wrote this out so okay
um to answer that i think if if if i’m going to
go by how they’re doing book of boba fett i think
the next episode is not going to have
dinner back to flashback yeah i i honestly
well he’s the only thing in the future
um so no i think um this next episode is
them going to be preparing for things maybe
getting one more person in there maybe um
the sheriff uh to join in yes sheriff of
nottingham yes oh um cobb vance cobb vance
something like that um i think the next episode is
going to be prepared and then den will come back
at the end of that and there will be a thing
kind of be the savior at the final moments
not not even a savior at the final moments
just like he shows up he flies he comes in
you’re all clear and and then you know mandalorian
season one i think we’ll start after that yeah oh
nevermind season one mandalorian season three
will start after that with uh den having a
flashback of seeing grogu while he’s heading
to mandalore that’s it so my hot take is that
man we will get mando seeing grogu he sees grogu
he sees that he is safe with luke he trusts luke
he trusts luke because he’s trust ahsoka and
he sees luke as a capable jedi that jedi luke
saved him on maf gideon’s cruiser he gives him
his gift he goes back to boba the last episode
is them preparing for war and that is how the
book of boba fett ends we do not actually see the
actual pike crime syndicate war mandalorian or
the man the yeah the mando season 3 starts with
either the beginning or the end of that war that
then leads them to mandalore because like if if if
the pike war and the syndicate war ends with boba
beating back the pikes the part of the mountains
like with going along with what you’re saying
if this raps in one or two episodes not gonna
feel good yeah not gonna feel good and and and
i’m not opposed to a cliffhanger because we have
obi-wan which is coming out on may the fourth
by the way just throwing that out there
we have that on the horizon we also have andor
like i’m i’m completely fine with this show that
look i’m usually really positive but
i’m gonna be honest don’t care about
ending on a cliffhanger if boba’s overarching
theme is fighting the pikes sure oh my god i
just came up with it okay what what if between the
mandalorian season one and season two and the book
of boba fett and the characters introduced what if
there’s a whole new show that’s the mandalorians
the mandalorians these two shows then are
combined into one and it’s not about den
and his bounty hunting and grogo it’s not about
boba and his crime empire what if it’s restoring
the mandalorians okay yes love it mandalorians
are my favorite part of star wars but
posted in the discord posted this on instagram
justin do you remember me posting the thing
that lucasfilm sent out to all their employees
and it was a christmas gift of this past year
and it had one specific thing on there that’s
never been in any announcement and it was called
the tales of the jedi yes you remember
that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s a
yes in the interview that mark hamill
gives when he is expressing his disdain
for what ryan johnson did to luke in the last jedi
he brings up one specific thing and that thing is
is where are all the stories about luke
and what he does after he leaves han and
leia and the empire is gone is i don’t
know we we call it the tales of a jedi
what if we get another show the tales of a
jedi are the tales of the jedi and it’s luke
creating his new jedi gentile academy
grogu is there mind you backtrack to
my train of thought of grogoo bean in the
in one starfighter if grogu isn’t working
out for whatever reason he has too many
attachments he cannot be trained literally
ahsoka has already said canonly he cannot be
trained oh i got hiccups mando takes grogu
that explains why he’s not at the jedi temple
when ben turns yeah i said we we you know anyway
i’m down for it i i really i like the idea
of these the two seasons of the mandalorian
and this very weird spin-off of the book of
boba fett actually like building to something
new a lot more than the book of boba fett
season two i’ll be completely honest and he’s
been my favorite character since i was seven years
old yeah because this show has just disappointed
me for the character that i’ve loved but if it was
building to something like like they’re like all
little individual stepping stones that would be an
awesome saving grace yeah yeah it’s just it’s hard
to see it with the current sample size that we
have we can’t so we can’t wrap the pike syndicate
in a giant war against boba fett who has literally
nobody except one guy he’s going to hire they come
they are a syndicate they’re not a gang even come
from a whole planet like there are millions of
them boba wipes everybody on tatooine does
nothing to them as a whole yeah exactly
exactly but well guys this has been a great
upward turn call it a filler call it what you
want this has been a great upward turn i’m super
excited to know what our callers are going to say
yeah call call it what you want
i mean i think that they’re
look i’m going to be selfish okay i think mando
is way cooler than boba always has been always
will be and yeah it’s hindsight though sure
whatever that doesn’t make it any less true
he’s cooler than boba like this is the bubble we
have and guess what he is better i compare yeah
because he created he is the mandalorian the very
o.g the start of everything and i don’t i don’t
mean it negatively i’m this is what we have this
is what we’re presented with definitely wherever
wherever we go with this i 100 want to see din
boba together i don’t mind seeing them together
but boba in my opinion in the writing of the show
has proved that bobak did not function on his own
that’s just my opinion if you don’t
agree perfectly fine explain to me
why that’s wrong i get you know i
would love to get why you’re saying
but currently i this is the most hype i have
been since mandalorian season two the show
in my opinion i enjoyed watching it but it
is not delivered that’s all i have to say
kind of going along with what we said last
week like we have to erase everything we
knew about fat fett was a badass in the eu that’s
all wiped clean now the only cannon fat we have
is standing next to darth vader standing while
he be why han is frozen and then just getting
yeted by luke into the side of a sand barge and
falling into a pit and he screams like a girl
matches what we’ve seen from this yeah yeah
i’m still waiting to see the boba that we saw
were reintroduced to in mandalorian season two
that’s the boba i’m waiting to see again yeah
well guys yep i think it is
a perfect time to go into our
caller segment so we’re going to
go into it right now justin we back
look
so we had a crazy amount of collins
this week which we were expecting
because the episode was just so hype
and glenn osborne and he got dare jar
so this is dare jar for justin oh boy my headphone
is killing me all right i have a chance cube
number four again i’m not even kidding i’m not
even kidding so justin yeah what do you mean
what are you talking about uh number four for the
dare so next week so justin is going to have to do
the wife dare all right so number four in
our dares is whenever your wife says like
you must say here we go again record get so pissed
for sure and record her reaction to the best of
your ability yeah it’s gonna be a doozy and then
next week hopefully you will have enough to report
back on that and next week when we are together
i will be uh smearing peanut butter on my face
through the whole show and butter sauce boy yeah
and as i you know i’m gonna i told matt the same
thing i’m gonna have a pack of saltine crackers on
the table and whatever you choose to do with that
and the peanut butter on my face is completely up
to you we’re definitely going to bring the dogs in
oh no no no too much too much too much well what
a freaking great episode and it’s the perfect time
of course we’re gonna go into our uh our caller
segment at this point now we’re gonna go with
the winners we always do which is glenn but justin
do you need electrical work done around your house
i do need some electrical work done actually
fantastic because glenn at quality contracting
long trip but he’ll get he’ll he’ll
get us there all right here we go
hello this is glenn osborne and uh i’d like to
give my take on episode five i have to say it
rated a zero on the rancor meter no raincourse at
all terrible however my prediction is that we’re
going to have a mythosaur rider before the end of
the end of uh next season of mandalore at least
maybe uh maybe before the end of this series and
uh well we got to see uh the army our favorite guy
oh well even though he’s not a wrinkle
rider he’s still pretty awesome
dendrin marmando love it i got to see a ring
world or halo at first i thought it was a round
of sun but you know almost a dyson sphere
level halo but it’s uh it was just around
the satellite which is actually a pretty
awesome ship ship for a star wars satellite
and we got to see then he was uh wearing his arms
out pretty much fighting that gyroscopic effect
with the dark saber which sort of strange since
the dark saber of all lightsabers seems to really
have a pronounced front and back should be easy to
follow that plane of movement like we had talked
about the audio that you hear in the beginning
of this episode it’s you know sabine and uh kanan
explaining to her and once again somebody
on twitter i can’t actually it was uh it was
probably steve from this is the way podcast he he
commented same thing everyone’s like why did moff
gideon have such an easy time wielding it like
who trained him you know all this not in the third
i just think that you know moff gideon was so
focused on what he was doing right he had a
mission he had a goal he was he knew exactly
what he needed to do and that’s what gives
him the ease of you know using this darksaber it
wasn’t his mind isn’t clouded and distracted like
you know dan jordan is for sure right now yeah he
doesn’t know who he is he doesn’t know where grogu
is he’s obviously obsessing about seeing him again
yeah he’s a hot mess and yeah it did seem like it
was getting heavy so sorry i wonder if it’s if
that pulling down is a new lightsaber physics
effect that hasn’t popped up in other media well
i’m not sure if i liked that since we haven’t seen
we’ve seen other jedi before who are fine just
swinging the lights around with relative ease
but i guess we’ll probably learn more about
that later uh we got to see pelimoto again
who’s uh apparently not a fan of her which is
sort of ironic because fern never seemed to
bother princess i told you that one thing that
she does that killed me is when she you know
we’ve seen like the eu explanation of underneath
their robes they’re all furry and she complains
yeah and when she goes that she
goes they’re really uh furry
like she’s spitting yeah spitting their
hairs out inappropriate disney carolyn before
uh we got the see the naboo in one which
is pretty awesome but uh doesn’t tell
you know that then lives on a ship where’s
mando going to keep all the stuff you know
you’d made a comment about din having a bigger
ship eventually i think so yeah and this is going
to be kind of like the ghost and the phantom but
den will have his big ship transport freighter
gunship whatever he ends up getting and then
kind of this quick fast nimble fighter attached
as well at least that’s what i hoped i
think that would be awesome because he can’t
capture bounties he can’t live on
his ship he can’t do anything like as
cool as it is yeah if you have to buy a space
trader and dock between the bounties like the
you know like the phantom and the ghost dock
together uh he’s got to have somewhere to live
and i knew right away that buzzing a passenger
liner and pulling a top gun on a little kid didn’t
seem like the safest thing to do on a spacecraft
that you just bolted together out of jawa scraps
but uh fortunately we got the cops to
protect us and they they pulled him over but
he went into overdrive and was swooped away and
that’s probably the fastest ship in star wars
i’m not sure yeah for sure power actually could be
that much slower than it but uh with newer engines
oh i guess they don’t make them like that anymore
well that’s that’s my whole take on uh episode
five which was an awesome episode and uh i’m not
as going to complain about it like other people
i i think that uh i think it fits into bobblehead
thank you very much for that call glenn once again
guys glenn has entered three more entries into
the grand prize at the end of book of boba fett
next justin we have darth apollo nice oh and guys
just so you know we did we got a lot of calls so
for the length of the episode me and justin
are trying to not pause as much i know that
was a bad reflection because literally paused
it three times but we’re trying to keep our
comments so that we can get through all the calls
yeah cram everybody in hey guys darth paulo here
so it’s four am wow what an episode uh i’m just
gonna go and order uh first of all of all the the
butcher shop the scene i thought that was so cool
um well i already can’t wait to wake up tomorrow
and and see all the speech about how a butcher
shop doesn’t fit into star wars but we’ll just
ignore that uh i noticed and still had the dark
saber on him and then instantly he fights with it
it was amazing i was super psyched to see him uh
you know meet back up with the armor i instantly
noticed the heavy look at him dirty about the
dark saber and there you go right away there’s
a challenge i think that was dope that he can
already hold his own and prove that you know he is
um you know uh worthy of this dark saber uh and
then you know but uh when he mentioned that he
took his helmet off and the armorer told him that
he had to go make events and told him this is the
way i really was hoping that he would shoot back
at her like no there is another way because i’ve
met the other mandalorians they take their
homeless off they want to take back menswear
too just like we do and we should work together
like i thought he was going to start unifying
we talked about this a little bit uh yesterday
do you think that it makes sense fermando to
kind of go back to what he knows you know this
cult this sect whatever you want to call it
or contact with like bo katan and the
mandos that she was with and seeing how
they’re like you guys are uh extremists
for lack of better terms like that’s not
how actual mandalorians live their life that’s
a weird thing that you guys do and nobody else
it is kind of weird yeah so so which which one
fits better for you like i kind of expected him
to get on the transport ship and then just take
his helmet off my goodness my pc is going crazy
yeah i don’t know man i think i think it
definitely probably stirred a question up for him
but i kind of i don’t know i don’t
know where it would have gone i mean
it’s like you gotta think he’s lived
his entire life only knowing them
so it’s probably pretty ingrained deeply into him
at this point but i don’t really want to see him
go to mandalore to bathe in the baths though like
i kind of think the next step in his progression
he doesn’t have anything to redeem himself
for he did nothing yeah exactly um you know
just going back to who he was and part of this
this sect this cult and then bounty hunting again
that’s not like a full circle well i mean it is
a full circle for the character but that’s not
the circle that i’d like to see you know i’d like
to see him evolve a little bit more yeah i agree
um and then he checked the dark favor like luggage
could not believe that then we see a bd1 droid
i freaked the hell out followed by a royal naboo
starfighter i instantly thought this is pod racing
kind of foreshadowed something for myself there
uh she dated or what she did it or what now um
but then we got our montage that we talked
about in the comments in the last video but
you know for the wrong main characters whatever
uh bd1 scanned something like in the game
uh it was around here okay you know how i said
that i was super super irritated that everyone’s
like oh that’s bd1 oh that’s bd1 and we’re
like come on guys it’s just another bd unit
yeah well do you remember what happens to bd1
in fallen order he gets his right leg messed up
remember in this episode re-watching it you
noticed it it’s there he limps on his right leg
interesting oh yeah you gotta go back and
look at it it could just be because that womp
rat or whatever it was attacked him and it’s
convenient but why like i know you have a 50
chance there’s only two legs
but it’s his right leg and
ah it was anyway we’ll see we’ll see because
that would be you know i think we all just want
cal right yeah for sure you know we can age him
up yeah we can age him up a little bit you know
make him make him look older let him grow a beard
and he’ll immediately look older yeah he’s boba
then they took an already royally modified [ __
] and made it more badass i couldn’t believe it
i saw the astronaut fit and i thought what
if game gets an astromech uh i’m surprised
he’s cool with being so cramped uh if he had
the westgar spear that would not be possible
then he did the pod race route and i thought now
this is pod racing i’ve been wanting pod racing
for years since the phantom menace and that
wasn’t it but like oh my god it felt like it
uh i loved the new republic pilot from mando i
loved him showing off his thrusters and then of
course spenach and when he said he was gonna visit
a little friend it just reminded me of the little
green friend uh call back so overall amazing
episode i guess my hot take would be that i
feel like people are gonna view this as the show
not being able to stand on his own two feet so
they had to have a mando episode i still think the
show is amazing on his own merits but i think they
i think they should have had more boba in there
you know just to remind people hey this is his
show you know what i mean but that’s it otherwise
i mean i mean but what can i say it was an amazing
episode like what am i gonna do sit here and
complain no awesome uh love you guys in the work
y’all do thanks thanks for the call again darth
paolo i will say i i agree with the boba comment i
don’t know why it would have been so hard to have
boba go to the docking bay like not just finnick
yeah yeah how hard would that have been like
you know it makes me wonder um at what sequence
was this stuff filmed right what if this was
follow me what if this was the first episode of
mandalorian season three right it already started
filming i don’t know probably not but that makes
you wonder because it’s so mandalorian focused
yeah it just makes me wonder at what point some of
these things are are are recorded in next we have
our number one halo player lorenzo aka cream cake
hello uh cream cake here oh sorry there’s a fire
truck an ambulance passing by me just give me
one second here okay okay okay there we go uh as
you know best player or halo player in the galaxy
um i think uh your co-host refers to me as supreme
halo lord i like that tango very much um just
finished watching the book of boba fett episode
5 here in my work truck as i was taking a break
and i think this is my favorite episode yet
um mando is just an absolute beast cutting
people in half that dark saber kind of
usually of his mandalorian compadres
just blowing them off like that thing oh
you took off his helmet wow big whoop anyway
um and guessing episode six we’re gonna get to
see grosgu again can’t wait to see that little guy
oh maybe even we’ll get to see luke skywalker
i mean because grover’s with luke so i mean
i think like a 60 chance we’ll see
luke i think me and you have more
90 channels yeah 80 to 90. so we know
this we know and uh what else what what
happened in this episode uh oh yeah the nebu
star fighter that was an awesome throwback
i love it i love it i think it fits him well um
but yeah that was pretty much it uh can’t wait for
episode six and seven so far it’s shaping up to
be true that these last few episodes are bangers
so hopefully the ball keeps growing here all
right peace thank you lorenzo for that call now
this next one a challenge has been ensued just
like just like paz approached him and fought to
the death i am also going to win this battle
grant has wanted to battle me on the podcast
about this about his thoughts
about this episode so here we go
hey guys it’s grant here well connor you told me
to come fight you on the listening post so here i
am good step on my web i had to clarify because i
don’t think it was coming across earlier that my
issue with this is that it’s just not a book of
boba fett episodes um if anyone was in the room
walking by i didn’t see the title screen they
would have thought this was a new mandalorian
episode and and that’s kind of the main issue
with this um for me is that just we’re here
to see boba fett do cool stuff and he just keeps
getting swept under the rug one way or the other
um that being said the episode as the mando
episode was pretty enjoyable i mean it had
some issues here and there so boba was has always
been one of your favorite characters yes how does
this fit in with you know the show’s not done yet
but do you agree with grant so far like getting
swept under the rug boba has gone from being uh
mysterious and then in the like uh rebels and
clone wars like anger brutal like savage amazing
hunter to just old man wants to pet his animals
and get beaten up like it’s definitely taken away
the cool factor for me at least for boba fett and
he loves it yeah he’s just not he’s not as cool
as he used to be yeah i mean i guess like he’s
old man retired boomer fed but it’s just i don’t
know it kind of kills the vibe of the character
as a whole for me but it’s still weird because
he was so good in mandalorian season two i know
and it’s just completely derailed from that from
what we saw in his savagery and his fighting and
beating the crap out of everybody to now just
getting the beat crap beaten out of him in every
instance he’s got in the fight hopefully we still
have two episodes left we could see a turnaround
um why is den trying to fight with a dark saber
when he’s doing bounties when he has zero training
with it and he’s got an arsenal of other weapons
to use um bro if i had a lightsaber training
i would go ham with the dark saber and smoke
some dudes with it i guess that was more so for
fan service and whatnot and it was cool to
watch that guy was cool just from a realistic
standpoint with bounty hunting why would you
use that weapon when you have no training
um and then we got the naboo starfighter the n1
which very cool again really cool what they’re
trying to do they’re going for like a rat rod look
at the big barrel carb popped out of the top of
the hood uh when he’s first firing it up you can
hear like a v8 soundtrack which cool stuff there
but when you look at it from what he does for
a living he literally lived in the razor crest
so the naboo the n1 starfighter is just not going
to serve his knees yeah um unless it’s used as
more of you know like a strike fighter and then
he has an additional razor crest or something
but other than that it was a lot of fun episode
um just seeing mando again and i think that’s kind
of what dave wanted to do he wanted to forget
about george lucas’s character for an episode
and go back to his characters
because that’s what he likes to do
see we talked about this a little bit and
i was saying that i do disagree with this
because dave filoni’s character is ahsoka
not mando john favreau knows his character
you know so taking a step back you know from the
k i understand the point of view but it’s just not
df’s character you know and i think that john
has obviously a big picture idea of everything
so the issue you know for me and it’s
interesting i should say because even
my neighbor who has like zero eu experience and
and just likes to watch commando with his kid
and likes star wars in general he’s having
issues with the show because like where are
we going with boba and his comment to me was
boba needed a week off from being beaten up
and it’s kind of said that you know someone who’s
not necessarily as into it as most of us maybe are
um is still finding issues with the show so that
being said still interested to see where it goes
yeah you know to have an outsider perspective
like that you know i think that everybody
sees that the same way it doesn’t matter
how much you’re into it the truth of the
matter is is that you know he’s getting
his butt kicked like all the time and
you know once again we have two episodes
left hopefully that changes yeah exactly
what’s up fellas this is vinnie
vinnie boy this episode was awesome
i just got a lot to say in a short quick period of
time basically nice to see the man lauren is back
although we didn’t get one gist of boba
fett but this is a nice way i guess for
them to introduce them but get right to
it seeing the fight between vizsla and
den was pretty awesome to see how the
mandalorian creed basically does their battle of
challenging one another for the dark saber uh
i’m not gonna go and call in the optical order
here but i’ll try uh the scene of mandalore
just being desecrated with dude shout outs to
our twitter uh we finally had like a little
tweet pop off i made a little collage picture
uh that i also posted on our instagram it was
just the the night of a thousand tears and
it was beautiful and horrific all at the same
time and it popped off on twitter uh got like
5 000 likes and a bunch of retweets that was
really really cool this was probably top three
moments for me for this episode it was it
was amazing it’s a terminator style skynet
uh droid from rogue one i forget his destination
number but yeah okay total total 90s 80s vibes
the m1 starfighter beautiful beautifully
well done pod racer vegas canyon awesome
and also where we saw aurora sing last
time there are now houses too bad she did
so times have really changed and gone uh yeah
it’s pretty much everything that i think i’ve
ever wanted from the show but we didn’t see
boba so can’t wait to see what you guys uh
think about this episode i’m gonna
give it a a solid eight out of ten
it would have been a 1010 if they had a little
few more extras in there but basically you got
to have both fit why are you going to send fenix
you want to show your face around town exactly
over there come on now let’s what’s this about but
anyway that’s my short take on it have a good one
fellas i’ll see you soon yeah i mean that’s still
you know i think me and you both said nine out of
ten for this episode and if bobo would have showed
up at the end instead of it just being finnick it
would have been a 10 out of 10. it just once again
that’s why i begged the question like when are
these episodes being filmed you know is this kind
of like convenience for lucasfilm like oh you know
i don’t know maybe somebody gets hurt or whatever
the case may be it just it’s so weird that
boba can’t leave mas espa to go over to mos eisley
to talk to mando or maybe you know finnick was
there for days looking for amando you know what i
mean i don’t know it’s just weird it’s just weird
yeah weird timing that ends up being on tatooine
period and she’s just like oh by the way we need
muscle yeah one more vinny left us a second little
one more thing i forgot to mention yes it can be
done and yes it is possible and yes we did see it
done they ella swapped and one starfighter that is
off ls the world justin exactly ls everything uh
that was still that you know that was probably top
that was top three for me too was the the
first ignition of the in one that was just it
was ridiculous now we are going to hear a message
from the nicest mustache west of the mississippi
what’s up you guys it’s mrs palmer92
also known as the mediocre halo joker
just kidding uh i don’t have a hot take for
this week’s episode or the week before because i
uh haven’t watched them but in the episode
where boba fett goes going last week to take
care of the uh guys the speeder gang and he
goes into the uh cantina and he’s got his
you know whip and stick and the ridiculously
long rifle i was just disappointed to point out
or to see and then i had to point out
the lack of continuity because he shot
somebody with that rifle at like four feet and
i didn’t hear no scope other than that great
dang it i just realized joey is in baton rouge
and he’s actually east of the mississippi
so now with me and you grow a
mustache we can’t even claim it
you beat us to it uh yes i thank you for calling
in joe no it’s on the it’s on the west you have
to cross this mississippi when you’re driving
there we’re safe we are oh yeah i guess anyway
geography it’s hard thank you for calling in
joey next we have a jonathan kuhn hey guys uh
jonathan here wanted to call in for this
episode i think it was absolutely fantastic
um i guess i’ll get out of the way first i can’t
understand the viewpoint where someone might say
this had nothing to do with boba fett so why
is it in the book of boba fett but screw that
viewpoint because this episode was amazing um
just kidding all opinions are valid in three years
um i thought it was great uh so many so many cool
things uh him wielding dark safer was amazing
he’s got to be careful he’s trying
to chop his own head off though so
he’s gonna have to get some training for
sure uh love that he has his attachment
to grow goose still and like wants to
go see him and made a little armor for
him that was amazing ring city i don’t even
know what it’s called freaking amazing uh
the the battle he had was was awesome to watch
they took the jet packs off i was like oh man
this is spicy and death although i was confused
how commando could almost come to death and i i
want like the kevin hart like when they take off
their jet packs i want someone to cut in the part
where kevin’s like it’s about to go down and then
it just goes to them freaking fighting forget the
girl’s name uh but she would they say and then
when he’s winning she’s like oh okay get the army
that’s talking about like really seems kind of one
one-sided there but okay uh kind of glad he got he
got booted booted out of the no longer part of
the tribe he got voted off the island um but i
think we’re definitely gonna go uh commander lord
now if he’s gonna go into the bath to join the
the plane again then uh i think that’s definitely
where we’re going the night of a thousand years
that was awesome to see uh super dark but
really cool um really cool visual there so uh
there’s a lot more stuff going on just driving
driving while it works i’m trying to think of the
episode but uh well overall incredible absolutely
incredible love about the music the music was
amazing the the intro scene where the the title of
the book event comes up and they did the crossover
between mandalorian music and the book of bonus
pen music was absolutely insane i’ve listened
to that like an infinite amount of times over
and over i can’t wait for book above effect to
come out music was incredible hopefully the next
couple episodes are just going to keep this up
uh especially with the graphics i thought the
graphics were amazing this episode so uh the
detail was incredible so hopefully hopefully
this is the kind of level of episodes we get
will we see grogan next episode that would be
interesting i don’t know if they’re gonna save
it for season three of mandalorian or if we’re
actually gonna get to go see the little guy
um next week that’ll be pretty cool so
the wife wife my wife was freaking out
when she thought the possibility of seeing
grove who came up so disney smart they know
what they’re doing with their money they know
what attracts the crowds and i think uh i think
he got cut off but three minutes
yeah three minutes is the killer
but you know they they know what’s making money
and baby yoda be making that money man like
you know we might even see
baby yoda in ahsoka again
you know depending on that timeline you know we
talked a little bit off air about where could
grogu go you know does he stay with amanda or
does he stay with luke does he go with mando
you know because ahsoka was afraid of training
him in the first place and maybe luke does too
next we have chris machado
this is chris from fomo cast i’ve been missing
for a few weeks but i will say uh one of the
best episodes we just saw uh very nostalgic for
numerous reasons not only from the mandalorium
from the series itself to star wars um i truly
think that bryce dallas howard deserves her own
her own movie as multiple people have said and
for those that are complaining santa there was
not enough boba fett uh our idiots i’m
okay with saying that and i dude she
100 needs her own movie but me and
you talked about this a little bit
i would prefer for her to have her own tv show
and you would prefer for her to have her own movie
justin is muted and he is looking there he goes
i was like what’s happening okay so you
you’d prefer her to have her own movie
yeah absolutely and and why is that you gave a
pretty good explanation off air i don’t remember
what i said now you or you the main point was
the movies are the story drivers where it comes
to money you know bringing in new people from
star wars uh okay yeah yeah yeah and all that
was wonderful what i said oh my gosh we’ll also
say that i am super excited for what’s to come
and hopefully they’re actually setting up not just
the end of um the mandalorian but they’re also
setting up uh maybe potential boba fett
coming back so we’ll see thank you guys and
have fun chris you sound down i’m gonna call
you buddy you okay you sound a little you’re
sounding a little depressed man all right hope
i hope everything’s all right uh our last call
is of course from the can tina splicer it is
going to be jordan grip aka the casual kid
guys here are my poorly written show notes for
bob ep 4. it’s just a mandalorian episode so yeah
mandalorian season 2.5 episode 0.5 ultra hd
remix all right i don’t really have any knowledge
this episode it makes me want mandalorian
season three so bad and on top of that the
cinematography was fantastic bryce dallas howard
get her a movie right now uh and uh my guy
to deliver the bounty and it’s just one wrong shot
in that bar which gave me nice reveal republic
vibes um yeah that was probably one of the coolest
things the halo that’s a that’s something i
haven’t heard anybody else say is that the whole
bar sequence gave him uh older public vibes that’s
that’s now that he’s saying that you know the
bar sequence yeah where he’s getting the pony
so yeah those are my poorly written show notes
uh you know shout out to sam whitworth for
being somewhere in this episode i i don’t know
i didn’t have time to prepare oh come on man
but uh he’s one of the clitonians yeah for
sure later thank you for that call jordan
the cantina splicer everybody justin this was
an amazing episode and this was a this was a
longer one if you guys got to the end thank you
very much this was a doozy uh to record uh we
lost a little bit of our recording uh from
earlier but anyway it’s just a whole full
episode and then you know an episode yeah episode
and a half you know that’s normal at least and uh
the casual kid is on this episode too so thank
you for coming and recording with us guys next
week of course we will be back with more book of
boba fett so the question justin do we see grogu
um i feel more confident about luke so that
would i guess lend that you’re going to see
grogu if you’re going to see luke there’s
no way we don’t see both if you see one
i agree guys thank you for listening to this
episode of con con’s cantina i was your boy is
khan con and sitting across me virtually as always
jay breezy and we’ll catch you guys next time
you
