How she knows who is his people? Why his people are the Jedi?

Mando told The Armorer that The Child could move things with his mind. Based on that, she surmised that he's a Jedi. She knows the Jedi because the Jedi fought against Mandalorians at some earlier point in their planet's history.

Damn they absolutely nailed Bo-Katan! Katee Sackhoff looked awesome.

I’m laughing and cheering the whole time and my wife finally turns to me and says, “It’s something from the cartoon, right?”

I'm rarely verbal while watching a TV show or movie and just the mention of Ahsoka made me say "Oh yes!" and pump my fist.

I'm glad they finally answered why he doesn't take off his helmet while Mandalorians throughout The Clone Wars and Rebels did.

I thought that was established in season one that Mandalorians don’t take their helmets off. Every time someone has taken a helmet off, Mando assumes they are not true Mandalorians. Now we discover there are ones who do.

Forgot to make a comment about last week's episode. Very disliked Dave Filoni's appearance. Do not want to see him in any acting roles. They have to always cast professional actors and completely forget to use their families, nieces, etc for acting roles. These are not your personal home videos. It completely takes you out of the story.

Hell, I don't even know what Filoni looks like and I'm sure most people that watched last week's episode didn't know him either.

In the EU books that were canon but are no longer canon, Boba Fett never removed his helmet. Of course, I don’t think Boba was ever established as a true Mandalorian, he was only assumed to be until the prequel movies decided he wasn’t. Perhaps Jon is bringing some of the non-canon stuff back to the table and fleshing out a group of Mandalorians who never remove their helmets, just like Boba in the now non-canon books.

I actually had to Google Dave Filoni just to see who he is. I had never heard of him.

If it was Jon Favreau, I can see how he would be recognized. However, what I don't get is when they have some other well known actor doing guest appearances, their presence don't take people out of the story. I don't get it?

I thought this week’s episode was 100% better than last week. The bit with the

cargo control area on the Imperial ship

was hilarious.

Exactly. When I saw Titus Welliver or Timothy Olyphant or Giancarlo Esposito or Carl Weathers or Werner Herzog, it's the same as Filoni. I know who they are in real life but personally, it doesn't suddenly wreck the episode. I look at it as the 'curse' of knowing alot of actors and behind the scenes people.


Also, Jon Favreau played Pre Vizsla in The Clone Wars so he can't appear on The Mandalorian. (Yes, I know that was just a voice so he could play a live action character too.)

 

[SamT]

If you follow the Star Wars news a little, all the fans know who Dave Filoni is. I don't know how someone can know and follow the references in the show and not knowing him.

I bet 99.9999999% of people here know who he is with the countless discussions about if he should direct a movie, takeover Lucasfilm and other stuff.

Like many, I've really enjoyed this show. I'm re-watching the first two episodes of this season and started wondering if we'd have been better served if Mando had not revisited Tatooine since the Obi-Wan series is likely to be set on that planet the entire time. For instance, would it have been cooler to see Obi-Wan take on the Krayt dragon?

Yes, but in The Clone Wars and Rebels shows, there are a lot of episodes featuring Mandalorians, and they take their helmets off all the time. So the idea established by this show that they never do didn't really make sense.

An explanation that the sect that Mando was raised in was a bit extremist in that regards was necessary and I'm glad we got it.

Yeah and it's a retcon but it's certainly reasonable to think that the Mandalorians' beliefs could be like our world's major religions where different sects of each religion have varying POVs.

I haven’t watched the animated series so I didn’t know that. When the differences were discussed in the show I got fundamentalist vs progressive vibes. I presume the proscription against taking the helmet off is only in public. Privately he’s got to take it off, otherwise I don’t want to see what’s under the mask.

Their creed dictates they can't have it off visibly to any (sentiment?) living being, apparently including each other. That was clarified some more in the season finale reveal of S1.

The third episode, comprising the second half of the story from ep 2, was better than the ep 2. I found the "humour" of short and green eating her eggs notably unfunny, especially with knowledge that each slurp he was taking was bringing her species closer to extinction.
