⭐️ STAR WARS : REACTION⭐️THE MANDALORIAN :SEASON 3 EPISODE 3 "THE CONVERT" 

The opening dogfight and Bo’s piloting during it gave me flashbacks to Battlestar Galactica, which was Katee Sackhoff’s first big role. She played a maverick fighter pilot in that (her ship in that was the BSG equivalent of an X-Wing). The brainwashing machine Pershing was strapped to reminded me a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Total Recall” and the New Republic’s attitude/overly bureaucratic nature/willingness to strap someone to such a dystopian machine made me think of “Brazil” (a dark comedy by one of the members of Monty Python)

13:15 There’s just something about that signature head tilt… I believe it’s Katee under that armor in every scene.

Thanks, Tara! 🐉 Days of the week on *Coruscant* are called: Primeday, Centaxday, Taungsday, Zhellday and Benduday.

You ask all the right questions, i dont think this epsidoe was about answers but really just making youvquestion everything. Its supposed to muddy the waters, A LOT. Its like Andor but if you weren't supposed to have answers for another 5 years like most Star Wars

A fun little side trip that gives us a little insight about the "New" Republic .... This is where the fun begins 😊

So yeah, you would think that Bo-Katan wouldn't want to join the "religious zealots", but you have to keep in mind that she was exiled from her people and had her home destroyed so she had nothing left and no other choices but to join and become one with the other tribe. Also, Din obviously had a lot to do with it, which I'm sure opened her up to them more so.

Well I disagree with those that say that this episode didn't further the story at all, even if you just count the framing sequence. That said, I do feel that the Coruscant plot, while very relevant to the overall narrative, would have been better served splitting up into multiple episodes rather than dumping it all in one. Dumping it all into one episode was narratively jarring and took people out of the main story.

this episode seems to depart from following Din Djarins adventures, something that wasn't well recieved by many people. Pesonally, this "detour" that fleshes out more of the Star Wars world in this time was more than welcome!

13:43 ... We see the Armorer add the "living water" to the tempering bath and there's a reaction. When the Armorer has forged something in the past she has done the same thing which made me think... either she has had a good amount of "living water" with her or that she has been back to Mandalore and replenished her stock.

Hello Tara, nice to see you!😊 When I first saw this, I thought they might have Doctor Pershing in some simulation to trick him. Everything just seemed to be off. Elia Kane set up Doctor Pershing, wiped his memory, and became more trustworthy to the good guys. That was pretty clever.😉 Great reactions to this unusual episode of The Mandalorian, Tara!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mind blown? No Tara, more like mind-flayed! Many didn’t like this episode, but you ‘felt’ what it was supposed to do. From the first episode of The Mandalorian, we saw Imperial Remants on the fringes of the New Republic. We saw X-Wing pilots guarding those edges. Now you don’t feel so secure. Maybe the NR can’t be trusted. Without the common enemy (the Empire) will the different factions within the NR stay together? Surely Imperial Remants, or even Imperial sympathizers, spies, infiltrators… the Mandalorian world-building…I feared for our heroes. The Mandalorians are on their own.

There is a fan film called the great purge that shows what happened to mandolore

This episode is basically showing the New Republic is the Empire 2.0. The NR is making the same mistakes as the old one, just as Luke’s New Jedi Order is making the same mistakes also.

Taungsdays, am I right?: The Taung were the original Mandalorians. Taung and humans both originated on Coruscant. Taung, being a warrior culture, they eventually fought the humans for control of the planet and lost. They took their remaining population onto ships and migrated to another planet. When they landed, their leader's name was Mand'alor. After he led them in conquering the planet, they changed the name of their people to "the people of Mand'alor," or Mandalorians. They also named the planet after him. They soon took up the practice of adopting war orphans who impressed them with their spirit to help maintain their numbers. They didn't really care who the biological parent of their children was, and considered the people who raised a child to be their parents. Eventually, the Taung population of Mandalorians died out through slow war attrition, but their culture lived on through those who joined or were adopted into the culture. While humans are the majority of the population, there are no rules against any species becoming Mandalorian. Disney hasn't shown any non humans as full members of the culture (Grogu doesn't count until he does a ceremony to be fully adopted), but the computer game Star Wars The Old Republic has shown Twi lek Mandalorians. They even showed a Wookiee Mandalorian.

Dr Pershing keeps touching his ear as a nervous tic. But he didn't lose his hearing in an explosion. He was shot in that ear near the end of last season by Cara Dune to kill an Imperial Remnant keeping him hostage.

If you freeze frame the shot where the armorer pours the water into the forge you'll see Mauls image in the water.

you ask so many questions...only to have the answers minutes away

This is my least favorite episode of the series. While I usually appreciate a nice tangent in storytelling this was done really badly. Three seasons in and we've never really spent much time following other characters then, in the middle of this episode, we go off and spend a solid 30 minutes (or more) with two minor characters that we barely know and that affect the overall plot in no real way. It almost seemed like someone in production accidentally stuck a huge section of another show in the middle of this episode then aired it without realizing. Thankfully, we'll get back to our "regularly-scheduled program" after this.

Didn't like the doctor scenes, way too long, but I guess it's necessary. On to the next one.

Ha, nobody knew what was going on in this episode. Throw away for sure. Didn't move the story along at all.

What a waste of a character. Dr was cool.
