There's a dumb YouTube video on the previous page with a crackpot theory that Mace survived basically so Boba can kill him to avenge Jango. Ignore it.

The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]

There's all these theories of Mace surviving.
honestly, with all these Clone War era Jedi surviving, it makes Luke being the only Jedi in the original OT ridiculous. I can see Ahsoka because she left the order, but Mace is pushing it a bit far.
To be fair he improves with each outing, even if he's still not fully there yet.
But c'mon you can feel him smiling like a kid in every shot. He put his whole heart in it for better or worse lol
I've been following the leaks (barely anything) and there's been nothing mentioning Mace Windu don't worry. Only plot details that leaked were of tonight's episodes a few days ago.
Honestly, I just don't give a damn anymore after TLJ and TROS.
First thing I thought of was Gurgi ............................and then I thought about all the similarities between Grogu and Gurgi
It's not from a leak. See my previous post. Just ridiculous speculation.
Okay, thanks.
And would be ridiculous idd. They're already seriously pushing it with the namedropping and cameo's.
Obi-Wan is long gone. This takes place after Return of the Jedi.
Yeah there's theories of Mace Windu surviving. And of course Sam Jackson likes to say Mace survived and George was cool with that.
It's the best looking fantasy TV show ever and nothing comes remotely close.
He was confirmed male in episode 3 of S1
Delete this post
I disagree.
The production was stellar... the actual look of it was uninspiring (the color pallete, costumes, and set design)
the child wasnt stolen post return of the jedi
not that i think it was obi, lol,
but he shoud have been stolen before revenge of the sith.
because anakin would ahve killed him
As a non-clone wars fan, I wasn't as excited as the rest of this forum seems to be. This episode felt extremely small scaled and the choreography during the action scenes seemed really poor. It might actually might be my least favorite of this season. The story beats seemed like it should work on paper but something just felt off during the whole time watching it.
To be fair in terms of scale, Game of Thrones really nails it for a TV show.
This is something Mando still lacks, and it's something I want to see in the future.
I kinda get it, Mando is written as a western so it makes sense it is the way it is.
But with the things they are building up in season 2 so far, it's going to be hard to not call them out on this issue once Moff Gideon's army comes to play once more.
Right. I thought he ment that Obi-Wan might pick the Child up when he connects on the seeing stone.
I really hope this is not tied into the Obi-Wan series though.
Sadly, we haven't had that "largeness" in Star Wars since the prequels and TCW.
Oh yeah, it isn't fair at all to compare Filoni to some of the other, far more experienced directors they've had. He has a lot of potential, but it can be a little jarring to have such wildly different directing styles between episodes. He just needs to inject a little dynamism in his shots, the way that Taika and even Peyton Reed were able to. I like that the show is giving opportunities to talent like Filoni and Bryce Dallas Howard (and frickin' Carl Weathers) to help them learn the ropes, even if sometimes it leads to a little inconsistency in the show's style.
I know. Not what I was referring to. I though the user I replied to thought Obi-Wan might be the one to come look for the child when he connects to the Force in the temple.
But apparently it's speculated Obi-Wan is the one to save the kid from the temple and that the series will tie into that. And I hope the fuck not, lol
Y'know, shoutout to villager man. Dude was looking after kids and was even going to charge the genocide squad, unarmed, until Mando showed up. He's the real hero of the ep.
I dunno I think it honestly works. In Rebels they showed that Jedi aren't extinct but actively hunted/suppressed by Inquisitors so they could be abducted into the Sith. It's not that there are *no* Jedi, the Empire just wants you to think so.
The timelines don't match up. Mandalorian is set post-Return of the Jedi, after the fall of the Empire.
i really dont think so, because it would be stupid to obi to think Luke or Leia are the "only ones" who can save the galaxy, knowing grogu is somwhere
I am so excited for people to watch future episodes of Mando and see people who never watched any of the animated series go "WTF? FORCE WHALES?"
Ha!
Also, changing my name from "Comrade Foster" to "Comrade Grogu"
It's possible all these of these shows will connect eventually on some level
Oh, alright. Hmmm... Maybe I should tell the mods not to change my name?
RatskyWatsky Hey, could you perhaps give it some time before you give me approval to change my name to "Comrade Grogu"? Thanks.
No, the poster was talking about when Grogu was secreted away from the Jedi Temple. This was presumably decades before Mando. Likely EP3 or so. So could be a secret Obi-Wan mission.
holy shit this happened in like 30 seconds
Whoops sorry, I was not following the quotes enough. My bad!
Exactly. That's why I definitely hope not.
I know. But The Child was saved from the temple during ROTS, so people can speculate Obi Wan saved him from the temple.
I know, see above. This was exactly what I answered to the first user I reacted to, lol.
Yeah, honestly, I'm barely here anyways so it wouldn't really matter.
I didn't really like the name Grogu, but it is already growing on me, so I'll probably be fine with it in time.
Very cool episode in terms of content. Definitely felt a little bit of the awkwardness some have mentioned. Not technically savvy enough to explain why. Cut between horror style Ahsoka shots (which was a weird choice, but I didn't really have a problem with it) and completely static shots of people just looking cool for too long. Not enough to take away much from what I liked about it.
Michael Biehn was cool to see, but totally wasted. Wish he had a more substantial role.
I was really impressed by Ahsoka's appearance. Her head ... things (?) were a little smaller than I expected, and the weakest part, but still looked good. Much better than the prequel trilogy makeup for the various aliens in my opinion. I thought her performance was good, too.
I actually do have a lore concern with Grogu, now that I think about it. He just seems super inconsistent. Like, he is an alien, we can handwave it all away. But he is 50, has had multiple teachers with the force, but he is the equivalent of an actual child. So unless we are talking water wings, shallow end of the pool lessons it just seems off to me. Even an explanation that his kind is very force sensitive and needs to be raised around Jedi to make sure they stay out of trouble until they are old enough for actual training would work for me.
Thrawn name drop was awesome. I would like him to be involved somehow, but I feel like they don't want to take the big bad away from Gideon, so the speculation of a backdoor for another series is probably right.

When I went to see Solo on opening day and the theater barely had any people, my favorite moment was hearing the audible confusion of people who had no idea the guy with the Lightsaber was Darth Maul, and people not even sure if it was him.
I love when the animated shows get validated.

And people told me that TCW would be forgotten and would never penetrate the live-action content...
