The Mandalorian Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian (Spoilers)

Well we don't know that for sure for all we know Kenobi was in control of the fight and olny draw it uot to help Luke escape. We know he's still fast, he destroyed Maul in 3 strikes.

 

That's what I'm liking. Bo is borderline Saw Guerrera at this point in her life with her obsession to make Mandalore great again and she was a rude awakening for Din. Whereas Sabine, can be the opposite extreme. This is why I always thought the "No helmet removing" rule was shoehorned in for this show. Especially, when it didn't add up to all the previous Mandalorians behavior from the show.

It basically says that Din is a blank slate and these are his ideologies but wait until he gets exposed to other Mando's. I had no problem with that and figured it was one of the things that can show character development and growth for someone who's going to predominantly always be inside of a helmet.

 

I really don’t like that fan version, with its shoddy imitation-Matrix camera work. Doesn’t feel like Star Wars at all to me.

 

The Nite Owls? is that what Bo's group is called? almost sounds like branding for a spin off.

 

It's okay, but I don't like the sound editing and the renders. The pacing is off too. All I want is something that slots in the same time slots as the official fight scenes but less banging of the plastic toys and not so much shuffling feet in a circle. Just something that says these guys are in their 40s and 50s and in shape, not their late 80s.

Bo, finger decaying clone Palpatine, Mace, Maul, Yoda, Luke, Dooku, basically every senior citizen in the whole saga moves better than those two in that fight.

 

I still just blame Lucas (not upset about it, just acknowledging his role in it) for creating a timeline with the PT that implied Obi-wan and Vader were a lot younger than they looked in ANH.

 

So apparently people are complaining about the lady Mando’s having breast shaped armor? Would you guys agree with this? I don’t think I noticed it, but again I was tired when I watched this episode

 

Well that's a real world problem.

 

Yea that’s what I thought just wanted to see some opinions here.

 

I feel like Mandalorians have always wanted to be independent from any established form of governments. So that can be a good AND bad thing whenever they need help. And help doesn't seem to be a thing they ever ask for, so they're always doomed for the vicious cycle of nearing extinction.

 

And the New Republic, more than the Old Republic, seems to be willing to let planets do their own thing.
We know Ryloth became independent after the fall of the Empire thanks to Bloodlines, and Mon Mothma's dedication to decentralizing the government as a way to correct the wrongs done by the Clone War means there are likely a lot of planets with basically no oversight by the galactic government, and most are probably happy that way.

 

I really hope we start to move away from the whole 'Bo Katan is the rightful (and ergo best) candidate to rule Mandalore' that Rebels and TCW Season 7 seemed to want to push.

I mean maybe the fact Bo Katan has let Mandalore fall to the Empire twice (admittedly both times were off screen and the second likely could have been no more than a failed coup) means it's time to rally behind a different figurehead than the one who once burned a village to the ground and supported a terrorist group against her own sister.

 

All I hope is that we don’t find out later there are still hundreds of thousands of Mandalorians. I think at most there should only be like a thousand or two

 

To be fair i don't think any one could have stood up to the empire at their might. first one was more of apolitical defeat and this time it was a military defeat.

 

To be honest, one of the reasons I like Bo-Katan is for the fact she's not really a good guy, more of a semi-villain/anti-hero type. The same reason I like Asajj Ventress for that matter. Definitely agree though that it would be nice to fill in some gaps of her story, especially post-Rebels. Unlike some, I'm more than happy to see her again in The Mandalorian (which I guess is highly likely anyways).

 

Mandalore is pretty huge with main planet Mandalore and all it's systems, this aint like the jedi were there were only 10 000 jedi and only a few survived. I bet there are still thousands of mandalorians out there and they are athreath to Gideon and that's one of the reasons he wants to keep them divided and lost.

 

My "fear" is that they'll use her a Din's Martyr figure to want to unite Mandalore or something.

Honestly, besides returning Baby Yoda to its kind, we have no idea what the endgame/overall story will be. How long can they drag out Din being on a weekly adventure finding Jedi's to leave The Child with?

 

He's been under the impression that Gideon, the one hunting the baby, is dead. It looks like they'll start taking the fight to Empire again starting next episode.

 

Bo-Katan implied that Din's belief that Mandalore was cursed and uninhabitable was not to be believed (and that such an idea may be propaganda designed to keep Mandalorians separated). The other Mandos also reacted with looks of "man, this guy's a hick that believes a lot of nonsense..."
