They are ruthlessly efficient, none of that one on one duelling ethos, faced with a supremely, deadly opponent like Paz you use your 3-1 advantage to its fullest.
Paz Vizsla got one of the greatest and most honorable deaths in the entire Star Wars franchise. He shall forever be remembered and honored for his sacrifice.
Huh? I saw a supposed bad-ass who didn't even take out a single one of the red guards. At least he could have taken out one of them. He didn't even get a single hit on them.
@@markharc7615 the guy didn't have any weapons left, a tiny shield and a butter knife and the other guys were 3 with these insane weapons, he had no chance but those guards wouldn't have been able to take him down 1 against 1, they're cowards! It is one of the greatest and most honorable deaths like be for real.
@@markharc7615 dawg he had a tiny ass knife and shield against big ass swords and to mention 3 of them lmao tf is he supposed to do when they are highly trained 😭
While he lived, he never removed his helmet, and no one else ever removed it. He believed in the Creed with all his soul. R.I.P Paz Vizla, a true son of Mandalore. This is the Way.
My whole family was watching this episode, and just as Paz finished off the last trooper, my dad went, "How did he win that battle?!" Then the Praetorian Guards came in and my mom said, "He didn't..." This episode was awesome. Rest in peace, Paz Vizsla.
"Here we gather to honor an fallen warrior, a father, a believer, a brother and above all else, a True Mandalorian to the end. Paz Vizsla, We will sing his song of honor, bravery and sacrifice for future generations to hear and to sing along into the Great Halls of Mandalore. This is the Way"
They did. I wasn’t expecting him to be killed off this season. And it actually hurt more than I thought it would. But you couldn’t ask for a more honorable death.
The final stab move through the collarbone to the heart is exactly how wounded gladiators in Rome were despatched quickly and honourably ( if you can describe an act of murder for the purposes of entertainment as such) I am sure the fight choreographers knew this.
He died defending fellow Mandalorians on Mandalore against the perpetrators of the The Great Purge. Really can’t ask for a better way to go as a proud Mando.
For those people who wonder why Paz Vizsla not runaway with his Jetpack, you can see that his Jetpack broken after fight with stormtrooper. So he fight until his last breathe. F for Paz Vizsla
Paz said there were too many because if he'd tried to just run, they'd have rushed the door and gotten the others. If he'd tried to fall back properly, they'd have overpowered him the instant he tried to go through the hole. Had there been fewer of them, it might've been different. But he was basically in a scenario of non-stop fire. He knew someone had to stay, and nobody else had the armor or firepower to do it. He did it for his people, and the restoration of their home. He did it for his son. He did it for Bo-katan, wielder of the Darksaber, and would-be ruler of Mandalore. And he did it for Din Djarin, the redeemed Apostate, uniter of the tribes, and the man who saved his son. This is the way. Edit: For those who were wondering along with certain reactors why Paz didn't just fly out, his weapon was connected to his pack. When he overheated the weapon, it blew out the jetpack, too.
Loved finally getting Captain Pellaeon in live action. Loved his characterization (loyal to Thrawn, less ambitious than everyone else on the council, apparently more level head and pragmatic like when he acknowledged that Gideon has a point about the Mandalorians) and his physical appearance (the mustache!). Can’t wait to see him and Thrawn on screen together 🙂
Bruh same! I forgot about the guards. But his death hurt. I’m interested to see if they deal with the aftermath at all. I hope they do. He deserves an epic funeral.
Likely the Praetorian weapons slipped between Paz's armor plating. The armor does not cover every inch; there are gaps. The well-trained Guards would know how to find the weak spots and exploit them. (Just as Bo-Katan did in the prior shooting battle.)
Nope. Watch closely, they literally tore holes into his armor. You can see they added CGI holes were he was stabbed. That is some next level shit... Which is understandable, they are like... 8 or 9 ? Custom made weapons for the elite of the elite, even Beskar has its own weaknesses.
@@The-Like-Button Then why, on the last shot, is there a fricking hole the exact size of one of the praetorian's weapon in the beskar ? They literally tore through it.
Can it be the weapon has beskar in it? That one episode where the armorer told din that beskar is used as armor and not a weapon as it can pierce beskar. She went on to destroy the spear and make the chain link for grogu
Paz Vizla in the end brought redemption, honour and glory to the Clan of Vizla. Single handedly saving a large group of Mandalorians and decimating the ranks of the Imperial beskar troopers. The fact that it took not one but THREE Praetorian guards to kill him as a unit just shows how much of a warrior he was. Guards used to hunt jedi and protect the Emperor himself just shows how much Gideon fears the Mandalorian way of life. This is the way Paz, this is the way.
This is the way! The only reason why those three even one was the fact that has his gun was destroyed, and he was fatigued, after defeating an entire room, full of beskar wearing enemies. He was taking hits, but he was giving back the pain tenfold in return. Heck, he would’ve taken a praetorian down with him had the other two not interfered! He was a warrior truly worthy of the title Mandalorian.
This is the way. Also the Praetorian guards were there in case of Jedi like Luke Skywalker or Ashoka. Since he'd witness Luke destroy his ENTIRE squad of Dark Troopers without breaking a sweat and he was scared as hell and he wanted to be extra safe
its poor writing. Could of cut the hole in the other door straight away and gone to help. Its what I thought immediately as soon as the door came down, why didnt they?
@@rickybe This is bad watching. She would have died along with him, they both knew that, regardless of his beastly defeat of the Supercommando squad. He was the rear guard and his job was to secure their escape. That's what he did. Most viewers understood and accepted the implied conditions. We didn't need it spelled out for us with any more dialogue than "There are too many of them." It ain't that hard, friend.
@@AngeloBarovierSD execpt their wasn’t too many as Paz took care of them by himself, if the others had backed him up he would of defeated the guards too. Ive not seen EP8 yet but Im willing to bet a couple of Mandalorian’s would be enough
RIP Paz Viszla. A true son of Mandalore. He may have fallen, but every trooper that he took out is one less for his fellow Mandalorians to face. And the fact that it had to take three praetorians to take him down after he had already cleared out an entire room of Beskar wearing enemies is a sign of his might.
The parallel to the first season with quill lying after he’d been shot by the scout troopers in the first season in the second last episode was amazing they both went down for the cause.
Honestly I bet that the body actors that acted for the Praetorian Guards hated doing this scene, because they grew to love Paz Visla throughout the show too 😂 😭 What A Mandalorian Legend 🔥
I was in denial until they showed that shot of his smoking body. Then I was like nooooo!!! I’m surprised how sad this made me. And poor Ragnar. I bet Mandalorions hold one hell of a funeral though. I’d like that scene as heartbreaking as it would be. His body lying in state or burning or whatever they do with their dead as his brethren look on. Maybe Grogu and or Din are by Ragnar trying to comfort him. I wonder if Din will offer for him to join his clan? I’m sure Pasz wouldn’t have minded if he could’ve had a say. But the man went out like a freaking boss! That psych out when you think he won until the pretorian guards show up. They were actually terrifying this time. And their music was epic too.
Mandalorians burn their dead in mass pyres, not much is made of the event. However, specifically Mandalorians who die facing incredible, or impossible odds are given special raised pyres, on which they are burned alone. Their weapons and armour are collected and distributed to their loved ones to be either kept to remember them, or to be reforged into their own armour. As the body is burned, their clan tell tales of their honourable deeds, and sings songs of their glory. The names of those lost in battle are recited each night before bed to keep them in the memories of those who loved them.
There is humanity still left in this world....I am glad that I am not the only one who felt the pain when Paz Vizsla fell like a warrior....This is the way!!
If they make episodes 10-12, we'll see Paz's son as an adult in there in the most heroic of fashions. A brave Mandalorian, like his father before him. That's how i'd write him in. John, Dave, if your reading this... This is the way. RIP Paz. May Mandalore Rise and flourish.
Is there any finer way to die, holding off the enemy while your family escapes, and a pile of molten brass and your fallen enemies both at your feet? This is the Way indeed.
@@joshrandor4371 One of the best Mando Episodes indeed. Still say Chapter 8 And 16: Redemption And The Rescue are the best episodes of the show but this episode is amazing as well. Hope to get Moff And Boba in the finale as well.
THIS IS THE WAY!!! Paz went out like a true Mandalorian, fighting till the very end. He is one with the force, and his son Ragnar would take on his legacy.
I like that the Praetorium Guards allowed Paz to arm himself. They easily could have rushed him down as soon as they saw him but they let him draw his Vibroknife to make it at least somewhat entertaining for them.
I just saw this episode, which was the best this season! So saddened & shocked that we lost Paz Vizsla. He always managed to stand out from the pack. BUT, the brother went out like a true gangsta titan, in self-sacrifice! NOTE: It did take THREE of the red guards to take brother out and AFTER he'd just slaughtered an entire squadron, by his damned self... RESPECT!! 💯💥💔 PS, thanks so very much for putting together this multi reactions video, for us and Paz..so deserved! 🔥🔥🔥
Paz Vizsla died honorably in battle, choosing to sacrifice himself to save his brothers and sisters. We mourn his passing, and we shall forever sing the stories of his life. This is the way.
I've had this feeling when we grow strong attachment to a certain character in these series (for example Paz, Omega, and newer Mayday) Jon & Dave either end up making them captured or killed off if that makes any sense
24:10 "Lady... The Knights of Ren never guarded The Emperor, that job was given to the Imperial Royal Guards, and to top that off The Knights of Ren were NEVER members of the Imperial Royal Guards"
@@madtitanthanos7898 It shouldn't have been an almost. They would've definitely beat them...if they didn't so patiently and courteously wait their turns to attack Kylo and Rey. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about.
@the one dollar bill while the choreography was subpar when played at negative speeds, the fight showcased the guards' abilities as they outmaneuvered powerful force users including Kylo was trained by Luke, arguably thr most powerful Jedi ever. The only reason they lost is bc of this. The Mando guards only fought an already tired, beaten Mandalorian who had little weaponry available. How is that more impressive?
@@madtitanthanos7898 That's not at all impressive. You can't explain away shit choreography. It's not a stretch to say if the choreography is bad the fight is bad. The Praetorians we're badly used in a pathetic attempt to make Kylo and Rey look formidable by winning a fight they clearly should have lost.
@the one dollar bill the fight has some bad choreography that is only visible when slowed down really far, if it isn't visible in normal speed then it isn't bad choreography. Lol and I noticed you ignored my point on how they took down Paz
He couldn't have gotten out. The door locking mechanism was on his side. If he'd have gone with, they simply would have followed. By staying on that side, he controls access to that tunnel. He knew it when he did it that it was a one way trip. Absolute G
@@JeffZ1028 sure... Because by then the Mandalorians are clear of the tunnel, and both parties are on foot... With the 2 minute lead Paz bought them, the Praetorians are not going to catch them before they get into the clear Also, 3v1 is doable fight... 3v30? Probably not. Paz did his job.
Grogu will tame the mighty mythosaur and tear down the walls of Din's cell Ragnar looks even angrier with his father alive than Boba Fett as a kid with his father dead.... to be continued
Pour one out for our boy Paz.. dude is the epitome of a mandalorian.. he could've tried and left after taking care of the troopers but died an honorable death.. RIP big boy
