Simply because she was the only Jedi character introduced in the series up to that point.
If you read the reactions, most people were not expecting the reveal. So who were they expecting? Yes, she sent them away to seek another Jedi but she could have returned to help rescue the child.
No, I understand that. I don't think you got my point.
Most viewers were not expecting Luke Skywalker.
I think that she was probably high on the list of suspected individuals until the revelation.
When things leak out of our government each and every day, I must say, from the Disney side, they managed to do the unthinkable TWICE.
That reveal of Baby Yoda on Episode One was a true surprise. Nobody knew that was coming. Disney fell a year behind in toy sales because they couldn't leak...
Okay, let me probe you further...
You knew it was Luke but did it make you wonder how they would do it? If you were thinking Rogue One then you knew before the reveal. I didn't think along those lines and while it occurred to me it could be him, I knew it couldn't be him as he is today...
Okay...no spoilers so don't read on if you haven't watched the finale.
So, when I saw the X-Wing land on the cruiser, I had no initial idea of who it was. When I realized it was a Jedi, the first thought that came to my mind was Ashoka Tano, the female Jedi introduced a few episodes earlier...
Holy F! Did not see that coming!
The best season finale of any show in recent memory.
We have so much to talk about once everyone catches up and we can freely spoil what we just saw.
BTW...watch the post-credits all the way through!
Very good episode this week and this is coming from someone that is not especially a fan of Bill Burr. Miraculously, he worked out very well in his role.
I am also sad the season is coming to a close. With the exception of one episode, I thought this season was spectacular. I am completely...
So, The Mandalorian has reached a new level of greatness with this week's installment.
Just amazing! The story, twists, and production value were just completely off the charts.
To top it all off, we got a nice runtime as well
I was expecting another mediocre episode. This one took me by surprise.
Loved the land speeder/tie fighter chase. Very well done with some great LFE moments that had my bass kickers in my chair rumbling.
Probably the best action-orientated episode of the series.
Really like the ending which...
I'm not debating whether it is true or not. We'll find out soon enough. However, so many news sources are running with this story nevertheless. It's all over the web. I started reading about it a few days ago and it is still popping up in news feeds.
Why has THE MANDALORIAN become a better watch than the last three Star Wars films?
Absolutely outstanding show. It's kind of amazing how it was a slow warm-up for me from the first episode but that finale just really brought it home.
I am surprised nobody is talking about the other big reveal...
Wow! Absolutely terrific. Best episode of the series.
Great to see that Gus Fring has moved on from meth manufacturing to running The Empire.
Looking forward to the finale.
So, I guess I could say I wasn't disappointed in this week's episode.
For some reason, it didn't resonate as well as other episodes. I am guessing because I really hated the characters involved.
For once, it was nice to see the action taking place in space rather than on the same kind of...
