SPOILER The Mandalorian S3E6 Chapter 22- Guns for Hire

Been off the forum for a minute, as this year has been hell. Teaching a newish class, running the dept., had a death in the family (mom) and a ton of other real world stuff to deal with.

What is up with the hate for this episode? I didn't care for Lizzo or Jack Black's characters, but whatever. They were in the show for what, all of 3 minutes? It did feel like a bit of a "side quest" but it was still enjoyable. At least for me. I liked seeing the interaction between Din and Bo. I've really come to love Bo as a character. And I'm looking forward to the finale. That should be awesome.

Anyway, hopefully I can comment more on here as the year seems to be finally under control (probably cause it's almost over lol).

 

Din seem to be Grogu babysitter/Caretaker, always the one get his ass kicked and always one being saved and seem to weak. Now He give Bo the blacksaber, cos she beat a guy who own it that also beaten Din.

Din know how to talk to aliens without trouble as Bo have trouble.

Surprice to see Jack Black and Christopher Lloyd, but don't know about Lizzo. And Grogu have been knighted.

 

I really enjoyed this episode, Yes the cameos were a bit jarring at first, but it also took a minute not to see Gus Fring when Mof Gideon was on screen.

The meat of the episode was good! I'm enjoying seeing Bo and Din start to work together. They've started to highlight their character differences and lay the seeds for them to learn from one another. Part of me feels like there could be a romantic angle forming, but as I don't see how it would move the plot along I hope they avoid it. Or at most keep it light without taking an annoying amount of screen time away from the main story.

The only complaint I had with the dark saber handoff was that it didn't happen sooner between Din and Bo. Narratively I see the purpose of saving it for in front of the group but to me, it felt too scripted at the moment.

Great battle between Bo and Axe though! I've been so impressed with the Mandalorian combat all season, above all else that has been my highlight of season 3.

I'm excited to see how they close this season out. Although it feels like they haven't built up a full season arc to wrap up this season, I trust Filoni and Favreau completely to deliver a complete and fulfilling story when it's all been released.

 

I believe our friend deserves more recognition for his research than a mere "like" can ever convey.

Therefore, on behalf of my fellow Mandalorian fanboy and fangirl nerds, I proudly award @MBWilson the covented KING OF THE NERDS Special Achievement Award. Well Done!

 

That's brilliant!

I once went through Rogue One with a fine tooth comb...just to try and catch a glimpse of a character I thought looked amazing, but appeared to be cut from the film lol. I saw him in the Visual Dictionary but couldn't find him in the film. Not only did I find him in several scenes, but also found that he had been repurposed.

I can sleep now.
