I have a hunch that we may get to see another 'This is the way' moment in the finale. Werner Hertzog, aka The Client, eluded to this when he taunted the Mando about his beskar armour and how it's s shame there aren't any of the the Mandalorian artisans left to best manipulate the beskar metal. It'd be awesome to see the Mandos descend on Moff Gideon and his troops representing an act of retaliation against what the Empire did to Mandalore. I can't see IG-11 by himself being enough to shift the tide. Or perhaps the remaining Guild members come to the rescue, although they're aren't best of friends with Mando. God damn it's going to be a long week! :lol:

I think as the biker scout's have acquired The child once he is bought into to this stand off some force powers will be used to help get them out either way what a great episode loved every minute of it. Roll on the last episode.

Snaketibe · Dec 19, 2019

My guess is that our friend the ugnaught, Kuiil, is not dead and will fly IG-11 into town in the Razor Crest, dropping the droid into the mix whilst raking the Imperials with fire from above. Hopefully the Child can lend a Force hand somewhere along the line too as Mando, Cara and Greef blast their way out! :-D

Amazing episode again! The Imperial Troop Transporter making an appearance was the icing on the cake.
As for the final episode I don't think the Mandalorians will make another appearance as they've had to move their base. Pretty sure we will see IG-11 as why else did they have a long flashback to him being reprogrammed. Hopefully IG-11 will become a mainstay of season 2 and Mando will get over his Droid thing.

Very sad about Kuiil, loved the character, Nick Nolte was excellent.

I am hoping he is just wounded and makes a return I had completely forgotten about the imperial troop transport another great insert into the episode making it feel like the star wars universe.

What a finale...

Some kicking ass action... said goodbye to another character... face unveiling, an e-web cannon coming into play... and a 'new' lightsabre...

Defo leaving it open for season 2.

Twin30mm · Dec 27, 2019

Fantastic finale. Loved every second of that.
Great mixture of action and emotion.
There was some satisfying setup & payoff for a change. Take note Johnson/Abrams.
The series has had a few so-so episodes, but has been streets ahead of anything the ST has produced.

Just knew Moff Gideon was going to survive. I nearly had a nerdgasm when he drew the Darksaber.
Can't wait for Season 2.

If Kennedy doesn't give Favreau & Filoni a big screen SW opportunity, she needs butt-******* with a banjo.

Snaketibe · Dec 27, 2019

Agreed, that was a superb final episode! It makes me both happy and sad to see it end; happy because we have been given 8 fantastic episodes of true Star Wars content, but sad not just to see it end so soon, but also when I think about the sequel trilogy of films that could have been if someone like Jon Favreau had been put in charge of it. I get that there are fans of the Disney ST films, but even the most die-hard supporter of them has to recognize that a very significant proportion of the fan base can't stand them. Disney have fractured the fan base in a way that the prequels never came close to managing, not because those films are universally loved, but rather because the majority of fans hold broadly the same opinions about them, and few if any fans felt betrayed by them.

By contrast, the ST has polarised opinion and driven an unwelcome wedge between opposing groups of fans, as well as between Lucasfilm management and those copious fans that dislike the new films. Again however, by contrast the ratio of likers to dislikers of 'The Mandalorian' kicks the **** out of the same ratio for the ST. This means that a far greater proportion of Star Wars fans would have been happy with the end result if Disney had entrusted the writing and direction of the ST films to a Favreau or Filoni.

Oh what might have been...

Dantooine · Dec 27, 2019

Great ending to the series, great set up for season two. It was... great!

As far as the films, just because this series works it's no guarantee that Faverau would do the same with the films. He said in an interview that with Star Wars he wanted to tell a smaller story like ANH and tv is perfect for that. If it's a movie they can get too big and overblown.

For instance, in this episode the Biker Scout punching the bag with baby Yoda in it got more of a reaction out of me than the whole of the ending of Rise of Skywalker. The Sith thing, what do I care, it's meaningless. A cute little fella getting hurt and I'm triggered.

The only episode I didn't like in this whole series was 4, it was a bit generic and sappy. Other than that, amazing, easily the best SW stuff since 1983. The VPN was worth every penny. Bring on season 2.

GLucas · Dec 27, 2019

Just watched episode 8 Mandalorian and it is great like every thing on the Mandalorian. No big screen movies please, just these series. So they can respond to the solid SW fanbase in a proper way. Still haven't watched TROS and I really don't care about it. Hope they will also make Kenobi. Looking forward to it...

Cazza · Dec 27, 2019

Loved this last episode- shame to lose Kuuil & IG11. Came together and there was a real sense of urgency. Some of the episodes felt a little thinly written, slow and basic- especially episode 4. However, overall it was great and has fantastic potential for the second series. Fabulous moment when the Darksaber came through the hull of the TIE 8)

MarkG · Dec 27, 2019

Season 2 has just been announced for Autumn 2020.

lejackal · Dec 28, 2019

Darksaber......that is all 8)

theforceuk · Mar 28, 2020

Watched the first two episodes, love the baby Yoda and everything else.

I have spoken.

Cazza · Oct 30, 2020

Wow, what a start to Season 2! Absolutely loved it- the scale seemed bigger. Loved seeing R5, complete with scorched motivator and Anakin's pod racer engine being used as a speeder. All very cool... and the big BF himself at the end... 8)

Twin30mm · Oct 30, 2020

Agreed. Great start to the season.
Hard to believe this is a TV series. Very cinematic.
My heart sank when they mentioned going to Tatooine (again!).
But apart from a few minor niggles, it turned into a very enjoyable episode overall.
Loved the R5, Krayt Dragon and Anakins Podracer cameos and.......
I nearly fell off the sofa when (presumably) Mr Fett appeared at the end. What a cliffhanger!

Snaketibe · Oct 30, 2020

I agree as well. A terrific start to the new season! I loved it all and can't wait for the next episode :-D

Stubbs · Oct 30, 2020

Big thumbs up from me I really enjoyed it from start to finish.

robpmarsh · Oct 31, 2020

Anyone else see the possibe Sabine Wren graffiti on the walls showing a Clone Trooper and C3PO?

Darth Bobby · Oct 31, 2020

The last few months have been a Star Wars free zone. With everything that's been going on I just haven't had the headspace for it. Haven't had the spare cash to buy anything as much more important things to think about. Tuned in last night to see the new episode and wow, what a shot in the arm! Old school Star Wars! Absolutely loved it, can't wait for the next episode. After all these years we discover he survived, so tastefully and intelligently done. Great use of the sandpeople, seems they're not all bad after all!

Yep, although I didn't think about the Wren link

Agree it was a very good start to the new season

Clarkspie&chips · Nov 1, 2020

I thought it was a great episode, let's hope they can keep it going for the rest of the season.

I especially liked the comb over on the cyclops gangster

egglett · Nov 4, 2020

I was going to wait till this series was done and do the lot in one sitting but after reading Darth Bobbys post its got me intrigued

UKS · Nov 4, 2020

Great stuff!

Cazza · Nov 7, 2020

Great second episode. Plenty to love in this one, although would've liked the longer run time of the first episode. Cool McQuarrie spiders. They were great in Rebels, but even better here.

Definitely feels similar to the first series in terms of starting with a few loosely-linked episodes, that could stand alone, gradually coming together to form a bigger picture 8)

Snaketibe · Nov 7, 2020

I agree. I've seen complaints grumbling that the plot of episode 2 hasn't advanced the overall story of the series fast enough, but firstly, it is consistent pacing with the first series (so we should perhaps expect this), and secondly, it is still only episode 2, and thirdly, I thought it was actually a good adventure episode featuring monsters (in this case McQuarrie spiders), which has always been a staple of the Star Wars universe.

I'm sure the overall story will pick up pace as the series progresses (at least I hope it does!), but for now I am content and pleased just to have good new Star Wars content to watch.

naughtyjedi · Nov 9, 2020

I do love the series etc, but there are some gripes. I have to say, last year I was rushing to watch the show, but the enthusiasm has started to wear off a little bit

Too many similar episodes. Mando has to perform a task to achieve gold, Jawas, Village, Tusken, Frog lady.

There's a lot of crowing about how amazeballs it is with all these creators coming on board, but its as if they arent talking to each other and just want to make a Star Wars and have people tell them how cool it is. Baby Yoda does provide moments of fun and cuteness, its comic relief that Jar Jar couldnt provide in the PT.

At least we have some threads that should come together now: mysterious character at end of 10, the search for the people of BY, the search for more Mandoes, Moff Gideon, the fertilization of frog ladies eggs, the possible Treadwell stand alone movie, has anyone used the ******* in the Razorcrest - are we going to have a BY toilet training episode...

I'm hoping we have a bit more streamlining of the delivery, the potential here is immense and I still hope for a Bounty Hunters of ESB show using this tech.

theforceuk · Nov 11, 2020

I'm loving it so far, all the family sit down together to watch it wife included and amazingly 10 year old daughter love it. Admittedly mainly because of Yoda.

For me Rogue 1 and the Mandalorian have shown that 'This is the way'.

StarWarsFan · Nov 12, 2020

Still need to watch it but just haven't got the motivation.
