Ahh ok. There was some theories she was someone more important.
This also raises questions of how desperate Mando is to get the quest done that he dosnt pay attention to his surroundings and the ploy of others who wish to do him harm.
That is whats frustrating about him and makes him look like a jobber. Seriously...you are this major badges in the galaxy but dense as a fucking doornail!!! 😡😡

Not sure on Bo-Katan's age, but Katee Sackhoff is 40.
I think they kinda touch on this indirectly, actually. Mando's part of an extremist religious cult and he's so isolated because of this.
Like, he had to try because he had no other leads and he was bound by creed to complete his quest. Up until now he was basically a doomed warrior on a hopeless quest, that would die trying to do it. But Bo-Katan showed him that the Way is not set in stone; it's based on opportunity (which is how this whole story starts... he saves the Child).
Assuming she was exactly 20 during TCW, she would be 45.
The show is going hard into the Filoni-verse now, and I'm here for it. It is pretty cool to see characters that originated in the Clone Wars like Bo-Katan (and very much guaranteed now, Ahsoka) in live action.
Favreau is not a great writer. But he's of the two showrunners and writes most of the episodes. I think you need to accept this is primarily what the show is. That said, this episode very much indicates that a serialized story is expanding and potentially will become a larger focus via both what Bo Katan and her Mandalorians are up to (After the Darksaber that Moff Gideon has so that they can reunite their people), and the revelation that our main Mando is in fact part of a sect of religious zealots who broke off from the main Mandalorians.
The real format was the friends we've made along the way.
Him hugging the egg tank gave me horror movie vibes lol. Dude is so cute.
The real format is complaining about everything being a sidequest every week.
Glorious that they are not just leaning into Filoni verse any more but are just completely going to submerge into it is nothing short of the best decision the series could have gone. Let this be the start of the follow up from Clone Wars and Rebels. The simple off-handed comment from Bo-Katan that Mando was a child raised by the Watch, simply provided the answer as to why all of sudden it seemed there was a retcon on Mandolorians not taking off their helmets and provides a likely a significant hint into where the Mandolorian clans are currently at and will likely be significant in upcoming episodes or seasons.
Hats off to a great episode.

Someone needs to make an avatar of his face magnified through the tank
I do appreciate that she's apparently just been busting onto every Imperial ship she can find yelling "WHERE'S GIDEON?"
When I was watching the episode I was like "Fuck yeah plot. Now everyone can shut up". Alas.
Apparently, if the episode doesn't involve him handing the kid over to Luke, it's a filler episode.
This was the least "filler episode" of the entire series too. Like this is the one episode where there really started to be a sense of an overarching larger narrative. If people call even this a filler... lol.
It literally has a major cameo, and people go "filler. Side quest. bored. And so short too."
I wouldn't even call it a cameo. Bo-Katan was a central character in the episode, and probably will be a major part of the series, even if "merely" recurring for the rest of it given who she is and how she is immediately tied to the apparent antagonist of the series (or at least the series for now).
Well, I was trying to avoid using her name, just in case. I wouldn't call her a cameo, no. it's not filler, it has the moff from last season, it has bo-katan from the clone wars, it gives mando a direction to go, if continues on from last week with frog lady, it mentions the dark saber. I mean, how much more related to the plot can it be?
I'm pretty sure folks understand dark humour dude. Doesn't stop something being disturbing whether you laughed at it or not, nor does it need thinly-veiled passive aggressive comments like "Reassuring 80% of members get it" to support the fact you just happened to find it funny where others clearly didn't.
Even LucasFilm guy's comment explicitly states they intentionally wanted to disturb people, and that some would find that hilarious due to how disturbing it is by design.
Doesn't stop people feeling how they feel, or choosing to debate it. Doesn't delegitimise anyone's thoughts on it. But it does show some absolutely idiotic comments from those who found it funny, and those who didn't.
It helps that the VO is also an accomplished film actress and is modeled after the character in question. Many VA is only gifted in just that...voice overs.
Katee Sackhoff played that character for like 3 seasons in the Clone Wars TV show and she's just THERE ON SCREEN IN PERSON OMFG!
They used the same VO for Bo Katan and they used different voice and actor for Mau to maintain consistency. If Ahsoka is not voiced by Ashley, this is going to look really bad.
Luckily the actor that plays Ahsoka sounds like her anyway. Even with the age appropriation. Dawson is how id imagine Ahsoka to sound at that age.
Great episode. I have a feeling we won't see Ashoka until the episode after next.
More and more I'm curious to see how Mandalore and its people turned out in the New Republic (ST) era. I'm hoping they have a show based on that time (while ignoring the mess that is TROS).

Katee Sackhoff was an accomplished actor before ever doing the VO for her and looks very much like the character both appearance and age wise.
Ashley is a great Voice Actor .... but Dawson will be great in the live action role.
He saw dinner haha.This was so freaky
That episode was freaking amazing. Everything is starting to move at full throttle now
Only part way in but
It really is Sasha Banks as a Jedi? Seriously?
Woo. Still my heart.
EDIT: Oh she's a Mando. Even better!

This series is so good, it gives me heavy Star Wars Galaxies vibes (especially episode 1 of this season) and you get to see the larger universe that is only hinted at with the mainline films. It's the sort of thing I wanted to happen when Disney acquired the license and, regardless of how they are doing in other areas, they are doing a great job here.
I can agree that the predictablity of 'Go here, get a quest, continue on the main quest' is getting a little on the nose but I love it either way. I guess I have to go and watch Clone Wars/Rebels now because I only knew some of the characters introduced by name but actually nothing about them.

I am so grateful for the fact that when George decided he wanted to create a cartoon show that he took the time and picked an amazing collaborator in Filoni. Its Georges Universe but at this point we are playing in Filoni's sandbox and knowing how much Filoni reveres George and his views of what Star Wars is I feel like there is no better choice out there.
Alot of other choices would have walked away years ago when the Clone Wars was cancelled

Deus Ex Mandalorians, lol.
Another fine episode. Nothing more, nothing less. Got some chuckles out of me, but still hard to care for the characters who feel like they're mainly serving lore.
Looking forward to Ahsoka. Finally we'll get an interesting character on this show.
