    Episode 3.01!!
    Chapter 17
    -------------------------------------

    Discussion of New Episodes - Rules
    (1) One of the mods will post each week's episode thread a day or two before it airs on Disney+.

    (2) Official episode commentary may be posted in this episode thread.

    (3) Discussion in the actual episode thread will be limited to that specific episode, NOT future episodes; past episodes may be referenced. Speculation based on released material is permitted.

    (4) The Mandalorian episodes air on Wednesday on Disney+. Anyone who shares plot details about an episode before then must use spoiler tags. After that folks will begin discussing their reviews and thoughts without tags which will likely include spoilers. To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid the thread until you have had your chance to view.

    (5) All leaks and rumors must be spoiler tagged until they are either proven or disproven.

    (6) Reviews for each episode may be posted once they have aired. One of the mods will add a grading poll to that episode's discussion thread.

    I am so excited. I haven't felt this excited about any new Star Wars content since December 2015.

    Trying to predict the title for the episode. I think it will be called "Mandalore".

    I never knew beskar rusted, and I certainly never expected they could make an interesting episode out of nothing but Din cleaning his armor.

    This season is all about Din Djarin looking for a new career now that he's not a bounty hunter anymore, and the titles will reflect it.
    The first episode is Chapter 17: The Comedian.
    Worse will be Chapter 18: The Mime.

    Not too ludicrous of a prediction. Thrawn did make his first canonical appearance in the Season 3 premier of Rebels, so there's some potential poetic alignment there.

    It is based on nothing other than the fact that each season opener has ended on a surprise reveal. Grogu in season 1 and Boba Fett in season 2. Thrawn in season 3 makes sense to me if he’s going to be built up as the main threat going forward.

    Sad my vacation time got denied for tomorrow. =(

    Sar Wars eve is upon us. Looking forward to the doubleshot into my veins though I can't watch it all before work. And hopefully rooting against Bo Katan.

    This episode was an incredible season opener for Mando's return to the screen.
    I couldn't believe it when Wilco finally made it to elderly Rampart's cell and killed him!

    I meant Mandalore as in the planet, but I like your idea better.

    Chapter 21: The Pod Racer
    Chapter 22: The Smuggler

    I wonder if they’ll just call it ‘The Return’ - this covers Grogu back, the series being back and then they could do a Thrawn/Babu/Sabine reveal as well

    It needs to have the screen go black with just the title "The Return" and then immediately cut to Babu popping up and yelling "Haaaheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy"

    A friend of mine told me that in an interview, Pedro Pascal said Grogu was for 2 years with Luke. Is this true? I figured it would be a few weeks or a couple of months, but 2 years is a lot of time. It completely destroys any discussion about whether Grogu was Luke's first student (he absolutely was), and also implies that Grogu must have learned a lot during that time. I expect to see some new abilities there.

    I think they need to establish that in the show for it to have a modicum of truth. Show runners can say all they want in the retrospect but they need hard evidence of elapsed time they should be able to easily provide. We as consumers of the content itself just see it as an abrupt reversal of the story. Luke takes Grogu. Luke starts to train Grogu. Mando tries to visit Grogu. Grogu decides to leave. That all seems bang-bang with not a lot of time elapsing. And Star Wars is know for its cutting corners around the concept of time.

    Maybe a quick amount of dialogue between Greef Karga and Din could solve this.
