Yeah, honestly, I'm barely here anyways so it wouldn't really matter.
You are the chosen one now

Ok so in terms of Directors if Robert Rodriguez doesn't take next weeks episode then it will be the last one.
You lothrat...I grade on a lothcat scale so this ep gets an unprecedented TWO lothcats. It broke the lothometer.
Had to be Yoda and Yaddle, right?
I was thinking the same about the headtails but I assume it was probably a concession they had to make for the action scenes.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 rightt.
The captions will tend to use how others refer to him, since he's pretty much never called Din in the show then he'll still be The Mandalorian.They had to give Grogu a name because all the merch just says 'the Child' and retailer just call him Baby Yoda anyways.
Funniest thing this ep is the captioning immediately switching to 'Grogu' but Din Djarin or w/e is still, always, 'The Mandalorian'.
Yes
And I hope not, because these 'all is connected'-style of writing can lead to weak storytelling. Stories can't stand on their own anymore, and the connection becomes more important than the drama. It's often also straightly aimed at the audience, in stead of at the characters. The connections becomes the point. This show already suffers from it (I muttered 'oh come the fuck on' in dutch at 'Where is Admiral Thrawn?'). In stead of emotional beats for the characters, we get 'reveal' beats for the audienceIt's possible all these of these shows will connect eventually on some level
Fuck Yoda.
only going to read the replies to my question as to not spoil myself before i watch this going to bed.
please tell me Ahsoka reveal is amazing
I felt he was the worst performance, tbh.
It's awesomeonly going to read the replies to my question as to not spoil myself before i watch this going to bed.

It's for the preservation of their species. Theres no love, so it's okay. LolIf Grogu is actually Yoda's child, man Yoda would be the most hypocritical fuck.

So let that Obi-Wan series please be just an Obi-Wan on Tatooine looking out over young Luke series
ahsoka said she only knew another one like him
and im likeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, was that a mistake or did yaddle died by the time ashoka started her training?
Technically, the Jedi do love, they're just against forming strong attachments.It's for the preservation of their species. Theres no love, so it's okay. Lol
You try staying celibate for 900 yearsIf Grogu is actually Yoda's child, man Yoda would be the most hypocritical fuck.
After TLJ and TROS and the sequel trilogy in general and everything about it... I honestly don't give a shit.I'm a bit worried about that, too. I know a lot of fans prefer that style of storytelling, but I've really enjoyed Mando's relative narrow focus until now. I tend to like the rambling, monster-of-the-week style episodes, and hope the show doesn't become so heavily bogged down in interconnected lore that I have to watch and read a dozen other series just to derive a strong emotional attachment to it.
Yaddle stepped down from the Council and removed herself almost entirely from Jedi affairs after the Battle of Naboo. Ahsoka would have been about four years old when that happened so it's entirely possible she just never encountered Yaddle.
This too.
I literally had a smile creeping on a chuckle when I heard that.
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.
Exactly! I like it for the Star Wars fun and I do like me some lore, but the balance here is - like not uncomon with Filoni - way of. Lore should support the story, not be the story.I'm a bit worried about that, too.

Oh, I just changed my name lol. See the previous page.Comrade Grogu did you just changed your name or was it always like that? lol
What if she removed herself because she had Grogu?
Filoni is such a madlad he created Grogu to bring back Yaddle
Grogu would have been born 9 years before the Battle of Naboo, so that doesn't quite match up. We still don't know what happened to Yaddle after that other than a vague vision Vader has in a comic book a couple years ago. Could be she was responsible for rescuing Grogu from the Temple during the attack in RotS.
I still hold to the theory that Grogu is a creation of the Sith through the midi-chlorians. Hell, it's entirely possible that Yoda's species hatches from eggs, which would make it even easier for Grogu to have been "seeded" by Plagueis and Palpatine's messing about and then the egg "found" by the Jedi after some anonymous tips from Sheev. Having a long term Trojan Horse in the Order would have been a pretty solid and in-character plan for Sidious, but then Anakin came along and proved way easier and faster to manipulate.
Anakin could be the response of the force for plageuis and sidious creating Grogu
Totally off the wall unlikely to happen idea here but I wonder if they'd have baby Yoda hidden by Ahsoka from Gideon in the world between worlds, go back to the past in the time of the ancient Mandalorians, and come back older
