    Episode 3.05!!
    Chapter 21

    -------------------------------------

    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 have to say, Episode 3.5 literally being Episode 3.3 except they reversed the colors of Kane and Pershing’s ice pops in a “can you spot the difference?” challenge was a weird choice

    I thought TBOBF was Mandalorian 3.5...

    I really hope this season improves from this point on. I really want to look forward to the next episode each week.

    Here's hoping tomorrow's mid-season point can start that...

    They pretty much ruined every fake Jar Jar spoiler with last week's episode so I won't even try.

    Was not expecting that Party Down parody with Crix Madine in the Adam Scott role.

    I didn't expect to see a 44 minute episode set entirely in one 5 by 5 room . They're really playing to the Volume's strengths.

    When the fungus started spreading all over the hideout I was really terrified.

    Wait. Wong show.

    12-minute episode, interesting choice. But it's not the length, it's the motion in the ocean.

    I knew Star Wars Celebration is about to kick in gear but an episode of the Mandalorian set in London is a little bit goofy.
    Grogu clearly jumped over the Big Ben!

    If Wong shows are all about the Multiverse and portals to other places, is there ever really an incorrect show...

    Well I don’t think anyone expected Djarin to be pining for a Vespa on ol’ Tatooine and that it would turn into a Bollywood musical meets horror but it was definitely unique.

    Black and white existential Through a Glass Darkly, Persona Ingmar Bergman episode was a bit cliche (all the doppelgangers and spiders). Although Katee's performance exemplified the struggle for identity in an evil world with believability.

    Grogu as the Reaper was my favorite moment, playing metaphysical chess with a mangled Ewok.

    Whoever signed off on the "Mos Espa Vespas" should never be allowed near Star Wars again!

    Yeah I mean when they showed up on set, how did nobody look at that and say, we can't do this. They clearly belongs in two different sci-fi universes, especially in context of Tatooine.

    That's why I have next to zero faith in Disney Star Wars... Who signs off on this sh...stuff??

    Imagine walking into a toy store and going "Hmmm, I'll take 1 pink Mos Espa Vespa thanks!" (When you have the Slave 1, Millennium Falcon, X-wings and Tie Fighters available) :oops:

    And the gang themselves look like the same idiots that get removed at protests, for gluing themselves to Mona Lisa style paintings, because they don't like the importing of sea salt from the mountains of Tibet! :mad:

    The idea of a badass rat rod motorcycle in the Star Wars Universe makes sense, making it a lowrider version of a motorcycle in the Star Wars universe does not.

    Any predictions? Out of the teased threads of Pirates, Empire or Mandalore, I'm gonna say Empire.

    (Watch there be no Empire).

    I'd say pirates. There is that one shot of those pirate star ships dog fighting on a planet in one trailer.
    Should be a good one!
    Any chance they give Jake Lloyd a chance at redemption now that Ahmed has gotten one? He could play a pirate?
